|'''[[Hot Witch|Senna]]'''}}
Sister series to ''[[Animorphs]]'' written by [[K. A. Applegate]] and published by Scholastic between 1999 and 2001.
Line 8 ⟶ 9:
''Everworld'' had many of the themes of ''Animorphs'', but aimed at an older audience, so it got to include "fun" subjects such as alcoholism, homophobia, religious intolerance, prejudice, obsessive-compulsive disorder and, the best of all(?), homosexual pedophilic rape.
Books in the series include:
* ''Search for Senna'' (1999)
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* ''Entertain the End'' (2001)
{{tropelist}}
* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Coo-Hatch steel weapons, particularly the jokingly-named "Excalibur." Galahad's sword is also tougher and more durable than your average blade.
* [[Action Survivor]]: The core four (April, Jalil, David and Christopher). They're just trying to stay alive long enough to get home.
* [[The Alcoholic]]: Christopher
* [[All Myths Are True]]▼
* [[All Trolls Are Different]]: [[Dumb Muscle]] [[Taken for Granite|made of stone]], with rhino heads growing out of their chests. In thrall to Loki.▼
* [[The Alliance]]: The group opposing Ka Anor by series end includes {{spoiler|the Norse and Olympian Pantheons, the Dwarves, the Elves, every Fairy mercenary that Dwarf gold can buy, Merlin and the Irish, and the core four}}. They plan to grow it even more.
* [[Alliterative Name]]: The titles of all of the books.
* [[Alternate Realm Boon]]: The four teenaged protagonists bring/recreate modern technology and knowledge to Everworld, giving them a significant advantage there. There is also another attribute that the teenagers have -- they don't go crazy, unlike most others who go to Everworld.
▲* [[All Myths Are True]]
▲* [[All Trolls Are Different]]: [[Dumb Muscle]] [[Taken for Granite|made of stone]], with rhino heads growing out of their chests. In thrall to Loki.
* [[Ambition Is Evil]]: {{spoiler|Senna. She's more ambitious than every other character in the entire series combined.}}
* [[Ancient Grome]]: We get both the Greek and Roman pantheons, who hate each other. Neptune and Poseidon are always beating the crap out of each other, and Zeus refers to the Romans as "that impostor Jupiter and his brood."
Line 39:
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Loki, who wants to survive as badly as the kids do.
* [[Artifact of Doom]]: The Great Scroll of the Gods. Pick it up, and you become the [[Dimension Lord]] of the entire universe of Everworld. Naturally, {{spoiler|Senna}} wants it ''bad''.
* [[Atlantis]]: One of the few decently-run, semi-democratic places in all of Everworld, courtesy of its real-world mayor, Monsiuer Le Mieux.▼
* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: The only way to injure Hel is to attack her living side.
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: Loki's sons, Jormungandr and Fenrir are, respectively, a snake so big he encircles the world, and an elephantine wolf.
▲* [[Atlantis]]: One of the few decently-run, semi-democratic places in all of Everworld, courtesy of its real-world mayor, Monsiuer Le Mieux.
* [[Axe Crazy]]: Neptune, Hel, [[Psycho for Hire|Keith]], and {{spoiler|Senna in the 11th book}}.
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Merlin, of course. ▼
* [[Badass Normal]]: The core four approach this as the series progresses. They'll never win any stand-up fights, but their ability to survive and turn situations to their advantage is very impressive. Any human characters they encounter are either utterly pathetic, or this, with special points going to Thorolf and the other Vikings.▼
* [[Bad Boss]]: All the gods and Senna.
▲* [[Badass Normal]]: The core four approach this as the series progresses. They'll never win any stand-up fights, but their ability to survive and turn situations to their advantage is very impressive. Any human characters they encounter are either utterly pathetic, or this, with special points going to Thorolf and the other Vikings.
* [[Barrier Maiden]]: The "gateway" {{spoiler|Senna}}, though she has her own agenda.
* [[Bastard Bastard]]: Senna.
Line 60:
* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]: Loki's. Christopher says it the best: "As bad as Loki is man, his kids are worse. I mean, how is it that you're this Calvin Klein, underwear model-looking god, and your kids are a snake, a wolf, and a half-dead monster woman?"
** And that's not to mention the Wales family; both members that appeared in the series have a serious case of [[Moral Myopia]], and it's implied in the ninth book that {{spoiler|Senna was conceived when her mother used magic to seduce her father, just as Senna is doing to ''David'' in the series}}.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Senna. While it's relatively obvious that she's up to no good, she makes an effort to appear [[Affably Evil|polite and reasonable]] to the others in the first three books. As the series goes on, she eventually drops the facade and lets her [[Jerkass]] behavior come to the forefront when they continue to distrust her.
* [[Black and Nerdy]]: Jalil
* [[Black Shirt]]: The {{spoiler|Sennites}}. Christopher describes them as a bunch of "hopelessly fried, [[Columbine|Klebold-Harris]] wannabes."
* [[Bloody Murder]]: Witch's blood is poisonous. Loki's blood (which is black, and freezes as it bleeds) is apparently burning hot.
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Thorolf and the other Vikings.▼
* [[Body Snatcher]]: Senna can insert her mind into the body of a mentally unstable person, taking control of them. The owners are still fully aware when she does this, and think she's just a figment of their imagination. Senna being Senna, she doesn't waste the opportunity to [[Deadpan Snarker|snark]] about it.
{{quote|'''Fat Billy:''' You're not real. Go away now. Don't be bothering me. I took my meds.
'''Senna:''' You can't get rid of me that easily. I'm with the CIA. You know we can control your brain. You should have worn your tinfoil hat. It's the only way to stop us. Get up, Fat Billy. We have places to go, people to see. }}
▲* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Thorolf and the other Vikings.
* [[Born in the Wrong Century]]: David, who'd much rather be a Greek general.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: {{spoiler|Senna's}} backstory. See [[Freudian Excuse]] below.
Line 81:
* [[Character Development]]: April develops from [[The Chick]] to an [[Action Girl]], Jalil experiences serious [[Messiah Creep]], and Christopher drops [[Pretend Prejudice|his racist act]] and starts to contribute. Even David learns the value of teamwork, and slowly starts to recover from his [[Badass Decay]]. At the start they're four normal kids who can't stand eachother. By the end, they're a band of [[True Companions]], ready to do war with [[Satan|Ka Anor]] himself.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Senna and Merlin. A good chunk of the first ten books is made up of the two of them trying to out-manuever one another. {{spoiler|Senna escapes him in their first three encounters, but comes off worse in their fourth}}. Loki may count as well.
** Senna actually [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstructs]] the "chessmaster" analogy in her [[Villain Episode]], commenting that while a chessmaster has to be able to predict moves far in advance, people are actually very unpredictable; although she ''is'' good at [[Batman Gambit|guessing what people will do]], her ''real'' talent is that she can [[Xanatos Speed Chess|think quickly and adapt to whatever unexpected situation she finds herself in]].
* [[The Chick]]: April, before she started developing into more of an [[Action Girl]]. {{spoiler|And then [[Beware the Nice Ones|Book 11 came along]]}}.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: What everyone thought Senna was, before the events of the series.
Line 90:
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Senna in the first ten books.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: The entire main cast, but David and Senna in particular.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Essentially, it was a darker and edgier take on a lot of what made ''[[Animorphs]]'' popular. And that wasn't the most cheerful series to start with.▼
* [[Dark Messiah]]: {{spoiler|Senna}}
▲* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Essentially, it was a darker and edgier take on a lot of what made ''[[Animorphs]]'' popular. And that wasn't the most cheerful series to start with.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: When Senna is actually traveling with the four, she tends to [[Emotionless Girl|stay quiet]], except to occasionally make a sarcastic comment to mock them.
** Christopher is also prone to snarking (especially in the books he narrates). Nidhoggr gets a few choice lines in Book 6.
Line 99:
* [[Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?]]: Merlin, while he lacks the power of the average god, still manages to hold his own against them by using his intelligence, cleverness and imagination. Senna recognizes this, and later uses the same strategy to good effect.
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Anica, as noted by Senna while she was giving her [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]].
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: "Senna" isn't her real name, though it isn't revealed until ''Inside the Illusion'', because the only two people who know about her birth name are Senna herself and her mother.
* [[Do Not Taunt Cthulhu]]: When the kids aren't kowtowing to the gods, they're insulting them.
** Defied by Senna, who ''repeatedly'' tells them that taunting Cthulhu is a very bad idea. The page quote is given by her after the core four flip off the African deities, which Senna thinks is outright stupid and unnecessarily risky.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: Several characters express this.
* [[The Drag Along]]: Everyone, at some point, but most notably the [[Expy]] of [[The Drag Along|Marco]], Christopher.
Line 120:
* [[Evil Genius]]: Loki is probably the smartest of the gods in his own warped way. He knows they can't beat Ka Anor and just wants out of Everworld. Hel is also far from dumb, to the dismay of all.
** {{spoiler|Mr. Trent}} is also the [[Evil Genius]] for the Sennites, being the primary recruiter and "mission control" who gets their supplies and arms, and presumbably delivers them to Dawkins.
* [[Evil vs. Evil]]: This actually seems to be what's driving the plot a good portion of the time--both Ka Anor and Loki want Senna to keep the other from having her, and she's planning to overthrow both of them. The villains sometimes have alliances (like Loki and Ka Anor in the beginning), but even then they always seem to be planning to betray each other.
* [[Expy]]: Senna is a genderswap of the ''[[Animorphs]]'' [[Manipulative Bastard|David]], April is [[Action Girl|Rachel]] and [[The Chick|Cassie]] together, David is what would happen if [[The Woobie|woobie]] [[Jumped At the Call|Tobias]] took [[The Hero|Jake's]] role, Jalil is a human [[The Spock|Ax]], and Christopher is the [[Genre Savvy]] [[Deadpan Snarker|Marco]]. This even extends to the secondary characters - Merlin is a mortal and vulnerable [[Big Good|Ellimist]], Ka-Anor is the [[Bigger Bad|new]] [[Omnicidal Maniac|Crayak]], and Loki is what you would get if [[The Caligula|Visser]] [[Large Ham|Three]] was sane.
* [[Fantasy Gun Control]]: The Sennites ''laugh'' at your silly gun control.
* [[Fatal Flaw]]: The god's is their immutability, Senna's is her ego and need for control, David's his urge to prove himself.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: Senna is this for many, especially after she drops the [[Affably Evil]] act. The combination of [[Deadpan Snarker]] and [[Chessmaster]] ability helps, causing some to overlook her [[Jerkass]] moments in favour of her capability.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: April. She's green-eyed to boot, and, of course, has an Irish ancestry.▼
* [[Flanderization]]: Subverted. The characters seem to be playing it straight for a few books, but eventually grow depths that shed a different light on past actions.
* [[Flaw Exploitation]]: Senna does this to everyone throughout, but especially in the climax of the story. Poor Jalil...
** Conversely, the core four are not above exploiting Senna's need for control to their own advantage. Jalil is especially adept at it, and he and Merlin put her through the psychological ringer in Book 11.
▲* [[Fiery Redhead]]: April. She's green-eyed to boot, and, of course, has an Irish ancestry.
* [[Foe Yay]]: Jalil and Senna, particularly in the two books Jalil narrates.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Senna in her [[Villain Episode]] book.▼
* [[
* [[Friendship Moment]]: Mostly between Christopher and Jalil, when they stick up for each other despite their many arguments, especially when that lapses into the "real world."
▲* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Senna in her [[Villain Episode]] book.
* [[Functional Magic]]: Used by wizards and by witches, though the rules and limitations of the system aren't seen in detail until ''Inside the Illusion'', when Senna details her experiences with using it.
* [[Gambit Pileup]]: With Senna, Merlin, Loki, Ka Anor, Athena, Jalil, and every one of Everworld's other major players all putting their own plans in motion, this was more or less inevitable.
Line 150 ⟶ 151:
* [[Hot Witch]]: Senna. Her magic helps.
* [[A House Divided]]: Most of the series. It's rare to actually find the four agreeing on any course of action.
* [[I Want to Be a Real Man]]: David.▼
* [[Human Popsicle|Immortal Popsicle]]: {{spoiler|Thor and Baldor are frozen in Hel}}.▼
* [[Ignore the Fanservice]]: Jalil tries very hard not to look at, "Senna in profile" during the eighth book.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Ka Anor eats other gods. They aren't happy about this.
* [[Immortal Immaturity]]: Pretty much ALL of the immortals, save the Celtic ones.
** Athena tries to avert this, with varying degrees of success.
▲* [[Human Popsicle|Immortal Popsicle]]: {{spoiler|Thor and Baldor are frozen in Hel}}.
* [[In the Blood]]: It becomes apparent in the ninth book that [[Manipulative Bitch|quite]] [[It's All About Me|a]] [[Jerkass Woobie|few]] of Senna's traits were inherited from the maternal side.▼
** As an immortal example, Loki and Hel are notably smarter than most of the other gods, much to the dismay of the main characters.▼
* [[Informed Ability]]: We're told that Etain, Christopher's crush, is very competent with a sword. She's never actually shown going into combat though.
* [[Informed Judaism]]: David, only brought up when Christopher feels like being a [[Jerkass]].
Line 162 ⟶ 166:
'''David:''' Don't try to provoke me. }}
* [[The Ishmael]]: Arguably, the core four themselves represent the Ishmael to Senna.
▲* [[In the Blood]]: It becomes apparent in the ninth book that [[Manipulative Bitch|quite]] [[It's All About Me|a]] [[Jerkass Woobie|few]] of Senna's traits were inherited from the maternal side.
▲** As an immortal example, Loki and Hel are notably smarter than most of the other gods, much to the dismay of the main characters.
* [[It's All About Me]]/[[Moral Myopia]]: Senna and her mother. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the tenth book by David, when he notes that when Senna hurts someone, it's business as usual. When someone hurts Senna, it's unforgiveable.
▲* [[I Want to Be a Real Man]]: David.
* [[Jade-Colored Glasses]]: Done in a mild way to April, as she didn't break, but she definitely became more cynical.
* [[Jerkass]]: Senna is a colossal one. If there was a trope called, "Crowning Moment of Jerkass," she'd have about a dozen. Keith is even worse, and Senna decides that he's a natural choice for her [[The Dragon|chief minion]] as a result.
* [[Jerkass Facade]]: Christopher. He comes across as a straight up [[Jerkass]], but is more this trope, which he admits at one point. Sadly, he only starts ''really'' letting down that facade toward the very end of the series.
* [[Jerkass Gods]]: Lots of them.
* [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]]: After [[Took a Level in Jerkass|taking multiple levels in jerkass]], Senna goes all the way in the eleventh book.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Senna constantly does this.(Though she claims she's actually [[Shoot the Dog|shooting it.]]) Christopher and of course, [[Psycho for Hire|Keith]] also do it on occasion.
Line 185 ⟶ 186:
* [[Master of Disguise]]: Senna, and Merlin, the latter having been everything from a sailor to "an extra from a [[Mad Max]] movie." Being a [[Shape Shifter]] and [[Master of Illusion]] helps.
* [[Master of Illusion]]: Senna and Merlin.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Senna's [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"|real name]] ({{spoiler|Senda}}) means "Pathway" in Spanish. Her mother was a translator of languages, and apparently guessed that her daughter had inherited the ability to travel between universes.
* [[Messiah Creep]]: Ironically, atheist/agnostic Jalil, who evolves from a guy trying to rationalize the situation to the one with the most power to stop Ka Anor and genuinely cares about morality and such. Might also be "Leader Creep", since by that time, David has lost some of the others' trust, while Jalil's been building his.
* [[Mighty Whitey]]: Subverted. Early leader David is Jewish, while later, leadership shifts to African-American Jalil.
Line 197 ⟶ 198:
* [[Nay Theist]]: Senna's official view towards the various gods of Everworld. She openly acknowledges their existence and often even scolds the others for not treating them as such, but also quite clearly states that they are not omnipotent, are too weak to use power correctly, and she even {{spoiler|plans to kill or reduce every god to a slave when she rules Everworld}}. It is unknown what her attitude towards the idea of a monotheistic [[God]] is, as the only things she's said about that sort of religion is that she enjoyed going to church and that she can't stand [[Soapbox Sadie|April's self-righteous religiousity]].
** Jalil as well. He can accept that these beings have tremendous powers, etc, etc. But none of them are gods, and as a straight-up atheist, he will not bow to them. In fact, most of the kids express these sorts of sentiments on one occasion or another; he and Senna are just the most obvious about it.
* [[Not So Different]]: The similarities between Senna and April, and more frighteningly, Senna and Hel are repeatedly pointed out.▼
* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: Senna takes a liking to some . . . rather odd things. The two best examples are in the eighth and ninth books. In the eighth, the characters are sent into a mirror world where [[Alien Geometries|the sky is down and the ground is up]]. The core four find this extremely disturbing and disorienting, while Senna is cheerfully intrigued, compliments the African deities on creating such an awesome place, and compares the whole thing to fine art. A more disturbing example comes in the next book when Senna states that she likes watching crazy people, and it is implied that she has [[Foe Yay|a thing for Jalil]] because she enjoys watching him struggle with his obsessive compulsive disorder.▼
* [[Night of the Living Mooks]]: Hel does this of course, loosing [[The Undead]] on intruders into her realm.
▲* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: Senna takes a liking to some . . . rather odd things. The two best examples are in the eighth and ninth books.

A more disturbing example comes in the next book when Senna states that she likes watching crazy people, and it is implied that she has [[Foe Yay|a thing for Jalil]] because she enjoys watching him struggle with his obsessive compulsive disorder.
* [[No Man of Woman Born]]: {{spoiler|Merlin claims that no man can kill Senna. As is usual with this trope, that provides no protection against women. And since [[Cain and Abel|her sister]] really doesn't like her...}}▼
* [[Noble Demon]]: Arguably Nidhoggr. He's a [[True Neutral]] dragon in sort-of service to Hel, but he's not mailcious, and always keeps his word.
▲* [[Not So Different]]: The similarities between Senna and April, and more frighteningly, Senna and Hel are repeatedly pointed out.
▲* [[No Man of Woman Born]]: {{spoiler|Merlin claims that no man can kill Senna. As is usual with this trope, that provides no protection against women. And since [[Cain and Abel|her sister]] really doesn't like her...}}
* [[Official Couple]]: April and Jalil.
* [[Omniglot]]: Anica. According to the narrative, she can understand anything anyone says, regardless of language. In the ninth book, she recites the exact etymology of Senna's name.
Line 207 ⟶ 208:
* [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same]]: Greedy miners with beards, [[An Axe to Grind|axes]], and a limited ability at taking crap? Check please.
* [[Out-Gambitted]]: Senna outgambits Merlin and Anica in ''Inside the Illusion''. Merlin gets his own back in Book 11 with asists from Christopher and Jalil. These are just some of the more notable examples; throughout the series, Merlin, Jalil, David, Senna, Loki, Hel, Ka Anor and the other gods run countless overlapping gambits that inevitably end up tripping one another up.
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: Senna is a powerful witch in her own right, but her powers don't look that impressive next to Merlin, Loki, Hel, Ka Anor or any of the other people who are out to get her. {{spoiler|Her recruitment of Keith and company is an attempt at rectifying the situation}}. Merlin himself suffers from this in comparison to the [[Physical God|gods]], as do heroic humans like [[Knight in Shining Armour|Galahad]] and Finn McCool. As for the core four (who are competent enough by early in the series to be much more than [[Innocent Bystander|innocent bystanders]], they suffer from it when compared to just about everyone.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: {{spoiler|Senna's [[Freudian Excuse]].}}
* [[People Puppets]]: Senna not only has the ability to screw with minds, but to take a person's body over, provided they are either [[Weak-Willed]] or insane.
Line 213 ⟶ 214:
* [[Physical God]]: All of them.
* [[Power High]]: Senna claims using magic "...filled me up, rushed through me, the sensation of power more erotic than any fantasy, more exciting. The power, I loved it so, it filled me and fulfilled me. It was mind, it was body, it was sex and money and power and revenge and triumph all rolled into one."
▲* [[Power Trio]]/[[Token Trio]]/[[Three Amigos]]: Superego [[The Chick|April]], Id [[The Lancer|Christopher]], and Ego [[The Hero|Jalil]], during the time that David was bewitched away from the group.
* [[Pretend Prejudice]]: Christopher.
* [[Pride]]: Senna, David, and almost every god.
Line 220:
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Many of the gods, and especially Neptune.
* [[Psychotic Smirk]]: Senna.
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]▼
* [[Raising the Steaks]]: Done by various gods.▼
* [[Rape as Backstory]]: {{spoiler|David, whose wish to be a "capital-M Man" stems largely from shame due to being molested as a kid at a summer camp.}}
* [[Rape Is Ok When It Is Female On Male]]: Averted Senna's degree of control over David is portrayed very creepily and not at all okay. That being said, David never really seems to mind or blame her, and doesn't even make an effort to not be under her constant control until the end of the fifth book. From Senna's perspective, this isn't so much "rape is okay when a female is doing it" so much as "[[Moral Myopia|rape is okay as long as I'M the one doing it to someone else]]."
▲* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]
▲* [[Raising the Steaks]]: Done by various gods.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Senna seems to like doing this. She talks down all four of the other main characters in ''Discover the Destroyer'', then again in ''Brave the Betrayal.'' During the ninth book, she also lets Anica have it pretty bad.
** Jalil recognizes this, [[Hangs a Lampshade]] on it, and at one point (''Discover The Destroyer'') even deconstructs one of Senna's speeches point for point. {{spoiler|He and Merlin give Senna and her troops a joint [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] in Book 11}}.
* [[Redshirt Army]]: Everyone that is allied with the core four; played straightest with the Vikings.▼
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: David and Christopher (red) to Jalil and April (blue).
▲* [[Redshirt Army]]: Everyone that is allied with the core four; played straightest with the Vikings.
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: Played with. [[Snakes Are Evil|Jormungandr]], and Merlin's Dragon are both serious threats to the cast and cause them problems (espeically that second one). Nidhoggr and Sobek on the other hand, both make useful allies of convenience.
* [[Sad Clown]]: Christopher, although his humour tends to be of the incredibly bad and/or racist variety.
* [[Satan]]: Ka Anor is this to heathen gods of yore.
Line 254:
* [[Trapped in Another World]]
* [[True Companions]]: Takes a long time to develop, but it's very fulfilling to follow its development. The core four may not like each other all that much, but by the end are very close, and {{spoiler|are willing to give up their normal lives in order to help one another save Everworld}}.
* [[Two-Faced]]: Hel.
* [[Ubermensch]]: {{spoiler|Senna.}}
* [[The Undead]]: Hel is half-undead anyway. Only her living side can be injured, while the other side a) is [[Nigh Invulnerability|nigh-invulnerable]] and b) continues to rot.
Line 268:
* [[Visionary Villain]]: {{spoiler|Senna, very much so.}}
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Jalil ([[The Spock|strait-laced]] [[Black and Nerdy]] [[Smart Guy]]) and Christopher (formerly racist white guy [[Sad Clown]] and [[Cowardly Lion]]) head this way as the series progresses.
* [[Weak but Skilled]]: Though not nearly as powerful as the gods, human magic-users (Merlin, Senna and Anica) can be quite influential if they use their powers wisely. The latter two, of course, also have the power of moving between worlds, which is difficult even for gods.
* [[What Measure Is a Non Super]]: Senna, being the only member of the group with real magical power, often looks down at the others. From her point of view, they're mostly tools to an end. The irony? That's how the gods and the other players (esp. Loki and Merlin) see her.
* [[Witch Species]]: Senna and her mother.
