Line 12:
{{examples|Examples Given:}}
* [[Action Girl]] - Emma Donahoe, after she starts learning martial arts. Also, Lady Win Chun, though she never actually makes an appearance, is implied to be this.
* [[
* [[Awesome but Impractical]] - {{spoiler|Emma is able to generate an ultra-rare black chi, which can instantly annihilate demons, or turn them human... sometimes. Other times, it does nothing at all. Eventually, Emma decides it's too unreliable and stops using it... [[Chekhov's Gun|for now]].}}
* [[Author Avatar]] - Emma Donahoe's nationality and appearance bear remarkable similarities to the author's.
Line 33:
* [[Limited Wardrobe]] - Mr. Chen wears black. All the time.
* [[Love Triangle]] - Subverted and averted. {{spoiler|Emma believes Jade's dislike of her to be jealousy over Mr. Chen. Actually, Jade just thinks she's a gold-digging bitch.}} Also, The Tiger really, ''really'' wants Emma to be Wife #102.
** Leo has long been in love with John, but was good friends with John's first wife Michelle, and now Emma. He then starts a relationship with John's son Martin, while still in love with John.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]] - The Demon King. Granted, it's probably in the job description. {{spoiler|The climax of Heaven to Wudang drives the point home.}}
* [[The Masquerade]] - Subverted. Pretty much everyone has heard of Pak Tai, God of the Water... they just don't expect him to own a high-rise in Happy Valley.
Line 43:
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]] - Discussed at length. Also serves as a [[Berserk Button]] for John.
* [[Scary Black Man]] - Leo.
* [[Shout-Out]]/[[Memetic Mutation]] - The first time Emma {{spoiler|transforms into a snake}}, she's {{spoiler|[[Snakes on a Plane]] on a plane}}. Leo, of course, is there to point out that she's a {{spoiler|motherfucking snake}}. John later complains of a similar joke regarding his serpent half.
** There are also frequent [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] to geek favourites such as ''[[Good Omens]]'', ''[[Discworld]]'', ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and others. Kylie Chan is obviously [[One of Us]].
* [[Staying Alive]] - [[Lampshaded]] when an official in the courts of Hell complains about Emma's Retainers constantly getting killed.
