15* AllMenArePerverts: When Raven is traveling with Kelsa as a boy in ''Trickster's Girl'' she mentions that he's cute once and he's only described again to explain his different transformations. When he becomes a girl in order to work with Jason an incredible amount of attention goes towards her butt and the fact that she's naked after transforming.
16* GenderBender: Raven, in order to more effectively deal with the shift to a male lead in ''Traitor's Son'', becomes a girl.
17* GoingNative: ''Navohar''.
18* HumansAreWarriors: In ''Songs of Power'', Imina warns [[spoiler: the whales]] that if they plan on destroying humanity they should be ready for one hell of a [[strike: fight]] war on their hands. At the very least, it would be a PyrrhicVictory for them if they tried.
19* LordErrorProne: ''The Prophecy''.
20* MagicAntidote: Anomaly 1 in ''Navohar'' which doubles as the MacGuffin.
21* PropheciesAreAlwaysRight: Both subverted and played straight in ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Prophecy]]''.
22* SecretTestOfCharacter: Most prominent in ''The Wizard Test''.
23* TalkingWeapon: ''The Prophecy''.
24* YouAreACreditToYourRace: This is Raven's favorite trope in ''Trickster's Girl''. Whenever Kelsa tries to point out that even if he's trying to compliment her, she finds the condescending way he talks about humans while doing so to be incredibly insulting, he seems not to get what the problem is.
