* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: Hawthorne and Morrigan has been best friends since book one, and, despite being opposite genders, the potential of them entering a romantic relationship is [[No Hugging, No Kissing|never discussed or acknowledged]]. [[Justified Trope|Justified]], in that they are too young to think about romance.
* [[Plucky Girl]]: Morrigan Crow.
