86	%%* TaremeEyes
87	%%* TentacleRope
88	* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The author used to draw all females with 3 eye lashes on each eye. It was the only way to confirm a character's gender. Later this was dropped, making it more difficult to determine genders.

91	%%* TsurimeEyes
92	%%* UndyingLoyalty: Pokemon towards their Trainers normally.
93	* ViewerGenderConfusion: Scythe and Wem. While Scythe is just a very girly looking boy, Wem was originally planned to be male but the author changed her mind and made them female, then changed her mind again and currently Wem is of indeterminate gender because the author figured it didn't matter either way.
94	* VerbalTic: Jaws tends to end his sentences with 'To.'
95	%%* VillainsOutShopping: Literally.

97	%%* WouldHitAGirl: Scythe.
98	%%* {{Yandere}} : Scythe shows some signs of this... or he's just a very possessive {{Tsundere}}.
