12	* MagicKnight: A very powerful spellcaster, who mostly uses {{curse}}s and paper talismans.

14	* TheReveal: [[spoiler: The handsome, kind and stoic Nirusha is... the terrible Miboshi from the original ''Manga/FushigiYuugi''.]] Whaaaaaaa...?
15	* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: At first, he and Neiran fit in VERY well in a friendshippy way. [[spoiler: Subverted when she's hit with the mother of all BreakTheCutie, however, and he's the one who brings her back from her nasty HeroicBSOD.]]
16	* SugarAndIcePersonality: Is stand-offish and cold at first sight, but Neiran manages to unlock the kindness under said facade.
17	* TallDarkAndHandsome: As seen in the main page's illustration.
18	* TwoFaced: When his full face is shown at the end of the first chapter, one can see that the left side is full of dark marks. [[spoiler: Like a tiger's aka the animals he hunts down.]] He covers it up with both a turban and his bangs.

[[spoiler: in an attempt to help her OnlyFriend, she ''kills her mother'' who was about to rescue her from her terrible life.]] Fourth, [[spoiler: her father reveals to her the truth behind her origins ''right after her mom's death''.]] Fifth, after all of '''that''' [[spoiler: her VoluntaryShapeshifter powers kick in and '''she loses it'''.]] When all is said and done, it's no wonder that [[spoiler: she stays in her tiger form and tearfully begs Nirusha to kill her and use her bones in his talismans to break the curse, since she feels she's been completely bloodstained and defiled.]]

34	[[folder: Reipin/Neiran's family]]
35	* AbusiveParents: They treat her like a slave, beat her bloody, force her to work ''after'' beating her, and [[DeniedFoodAsPunishment don't feed her adequately]]. Her older brother is also strongly implied [[RapeAsBackstory to have sexually abused her.]]
36	* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: [[spoiler: Since they treated Neiran like shit through all of her life, they became her first victims when she snapped. [[AssholeVictim Not that anyone would feel sorry for them]].]]
37	* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: The dad fathered a HalfHumanHybrid child with a shapeshifting tiger who told him to raise her well and, if he didn't, [[MamaBear Mama Tiger]] will return and ''kill'' him and his family?
