89	* CuteBruiser: She is tiny, but fierce.
90	* DistractedByTheSexy: Both invoked when she fights with Sebastian, tricking him into letting her win their fight. And played straight when Sebastian is moving some rocks.

110	* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: With Garreth.

113	* SmittenTeenageGirl: Overlaps with LovingAShadow, Cruach was never what he pretended to be.

131
132	!!!Tropes:
133	* CloudCuckoolander: As evidenced by Bertil, a literal bat in her belfrey.
134	** Also a lot of the things she says when people thinks she's craziest turn out to be [[FridgeBrilliance predictions]]. Like the origami shapes she makes when talking to Nikolai and Myst about Sebastian, which turn out to be things that he would face in the Hie.
135	* FunTShirt:She likes to wear t-shirts with funny phrases like "I play with my prey"
136	* {{Oracular Urchin}}/{{Mad Oracle}}: She sees the future more clearly than the present. The side effect of her visions is that she is losing her sanity.
137	* ObfuscatingStupidity: She's not as insane as she seems.
138	* RavenHairIvorySkin
139	* ShipperOnDeck: Side-effect of pushing all those BattleCouple types together as she tries to steer the Accession.

141	* TricksterMentor: She has good intentions.
142	--> '''Cade''': ... you lied.
143	--> '''Nix''': Yes, and people who lie are bad. Oh, but I didn’t mean you.
144	--> '''Nix''': I did tell a fib, but only so the fates would align to get you here, skulking around Val Hall at midnight tonight—with Groot dead, with you in possession of a mystickal sword, and with Holly…

152	** The Valkyrie are born in Valhalla and encouraged to stay there until they become immortal. Once they leave they can never return.
153	* HiddenDepths: One of the reasons for not looking for Aiden's latest incarnation is that she hopes he might live past 35.
154	** [[BlatantLies Which doesn't bite them on the ass at all.]]
155	* KissOfDeath: It's said that her kiss is addictive and even the reason that Aiden returns to her.
