----

* [[Absolute Cleavage]]

* [[A-Cup Angst]]: Teodora

* [[Affectionate Parody]]: [http://www.lashiec.com/heartcore/guest1.html The guest parody comic]

* [[Anime Hair]]

* [[Anything That Moves]]: [http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/journal/33903696/ Ame]

** Also worth noting that commenting on Emerald's weight might lead to a fist to the face.

** And Ame won't stand for her entertainment being insulted.

* [[Big Eater]]: Emerald has shown to be this, considering her MASSIVE order at a fast food joint.

* [[Black Eyes of Crazy]]: The whites of characters' eyes turn black when fighting

* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Ame}}

* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: Teodora, Lutz, and Carval.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Lutz

* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Spells in ''Heartcore'' require one to call out its name to execute. More powerful and elaborate spells require long incantations followed by the spell's name.

* [[Drop the Hammer]]: Teodora's weapon of choice.

* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas|Even Badass Demons Love Their Mama]]: Clearly shown when Ame encounters her mother, Lilium.

* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: Ame and Suko

* [[Evil Redhead]]: Royce. Are you really suprised by that answer?

* [[Gag Boobs]]: Rip and Tear playing Go Fish on Emerald's breasts along with a few other moments.

* [[Ghibli Hills]]: [http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/#/d3cwi5q Nifelhiem] appears to be as such

* [[Glass Cannon]]: Teodora. She sure knows how to swing a giant hammer around, but considering her young age, this is trope is to be expected.

* [[Goggles Do Something Unusual]]: In Emerald's case, they detect the true forms of people and can be used to find demons.

* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: Between Lutz/Suko and {{spoiler|a Royce-possessed Ame}}.

* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Each chapter starting with the second is named after video game music. To wit:

Chapter 8: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}Tuni_JmPb4E Outride a Crisis] }}

* [[Important Haircut]]: Ame cuts her hair short when she becomes [[Break the Cutie|her current personality]].

* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"]]: Amethyst's shorthand, Ame, was originally derived from the Japanese word for rain. [[Word of God]] says Ame's nickname is not pronouned "Ah-May", but instead is pronounced like "aim".

* [[Jerkass]]: Royce, oh dear GOD, Royce.

* [[Mad Bomber]]: Carval's as mad and as bomb-tastic as they come.

* [[Mook Horror Show]]

* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Lutz and Slade help with this.

* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: Slade.

* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: According to [[Word of God]], Ame and the six overfiends each represent a Deadly Sin; Ame is Wrath, Royce is Gluttony, Asmodai is Lust, Emerald is Envy, Slade is Greed, Goristro is Pride, and Carval is Sloth.

** Many characters' names harken to classic Sega. The family name Lashiec, for example, comes from the actual translation of the name "Lassic", the villain of the first [[Phantasy Star]]. Likewise, Lutz is named after the esper in the same game. Then there is also the afformentioned Slade...

** [[Word of God]] says [http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-288-301525807?q=gallery%3Atlwelker&qo=0 Carval's shirt] is a [[Frankie Goes to Hollywood|three-way]] [[Malcolm in the Middle|reference]] (the third reference is being kept under-wraps for the time being).

* [[Special Guest]]: Emerald, Sukina, Ryo, and Syranon were created by friends of the author and incorporated into the story, the very latter being created by the author's ''husband''.

* [[Spider Sense]]: Ryo has the ability to detect demons.

* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: {{spoiler|Lilium taking over Ame's body.}}

** Also qualifies as a [[Super Empowering]].

* [[Throw the Book At Them]]: Suko's muse is literature; it was bound to happen.

* [[Token Human]]: Gimlett is shaping up to be this.

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Well, Ame isn't exactly ''tomboyish'', but she's definitely an [[Action Girl]], whereas her sister Sukina is demure and generally a non-combatant.

* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]:

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Potato chips for Lutz, and barbecue sauce for Ame.
