=== These books provide examples of: ===
* [[Berserk Button]]: You'll trigger it if you mess with Ping's friends, and vice versa.
** Never mention the word "slave" around Ping....ever.
* [[Everyone Is Right -Handed]] Plot point in that all Dragon Keepers are left-handed.
* [[Fridge Horror]]: {{spoiler|Well, if you really think about it, the story really changed nothing. Since there are no dragons prevalent, that means a bunch of humans probably slaughtered the last remaining numbers of dragons. Though, it could really be that [[He's Just Hiding|their in hiding]]}}
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: The reason why Ping and Company have to move around so much.
* {{spoiler|[[I Am'm Dying, Please Take My MacguffinMacGuffin]]: Subverted, then eventually played straight. When Danzi goes to the Island of the Blessed, he leaves Ping the Dragon Stone. In Dragon Moon, Ping seems fully convinced that Danzi died.}}
* [[I Have Many Names]]: Danzi says this pretty much word for word.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: The dragons in the story are Chinese Dragons, as opposed to the [[Fairy Tale]] kind.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* [[Made a Slave]]: Ping starts as this in the beginning of the story.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Averted with Ping, who is disappointed to learn that her name means "duckweed". Played straight though with Long Danzi whose name means "Courageous Dragon".
* [[The Obi -Wan]]: Danzi during the course of Dragon Keeper.
