Line 31:
* [[Aura Vision]]: The power granted to Jupiter North and his nephew Jack. Jupiter, through practice, is able to control this ability, and turn it off as well as share it with others. Jack, on the other hand, is not so lucky, and wears an eyepatch to turn it off, initially leading Morrigan to believe that he is actually blind in that eye.
* [[Birthday Hater]]: Morrigan, justified in universe by the fact that she will die on her twelfth birthday. While she didn't die as Jupiter took her to Nevermoor, her superstition of birthdays still remain.
* [[Blessed With Suck]]: Being {{spoiler|one of the only two living Wundersmiths}}, the other being the feared {{spoiler|Ezra Squall}}, Morrigan is feared and rejected by her own unit, who are bound together via an oath. During the second book, her unit is reclusive towards her, her only friends being Cadence and
* [[Big Bad]]: Ezra Squall, responsible for almost all the bag things happening in Morrigan's life. {{spoiler|He repeatedly tries to make her his apprentice, influencing the events around her to do so, kickstarting the events for Jupiter to take her away.}}
* [[Born Unlucky]]: Sure, you might be cursed with bad luck, or be [[Howl's Moving Castle (novel)|destined to never accomplish anything because you're the eldest of three]], but at least you won't die on your twelfth birthday. Morrigan, on the other hand, not so lucky.
Line 42:
** The second book depicts Morrigan surrounded by a bunch of magical orbs. It turns out that {{spoiler|these orbs are actually memories, and that the cover takes place in the Museum of Stolen Memories.}}
** The third book's cover depicts the climax of the novel, where {{spoiler|Morrigan works with Fenestra to eradicate the Hollowpox from all the infected Wunimals.}}
* [[Dragon Rider]]:
* [[Exclusively Evil]]: {{spoiler|Subverted.}} Wundersmiths are seen as this by the residents of Nevermoor due to the actions of {{spoiler|Ezra Squall}}. The name itself is feared throughout the city, and {{spoiler|Unit 919 is reclusive and silent towards Morrigan because she is a Wundersmith. Subverted because Morrigan should be a ruthless dictator based on societal expectations, but she is just a [[Deadpan Snarker]].}}
* [[Fire-Forged Friends]]: Unit 919 initially starts out disliking Morrigan, but warms up to her later on. {{spoiler|Dislike because as a Wundersmith, she is associated with Ezra Squall, viewed to be the most evil man in existance. Warms to her as she proves that she is genuinely a great person to be around. The loyalty trial used by Wunsoc forces them to make friends, as the entire unit gets kicked out if they betray each other.}}
* [[The Gift]]: Everyone in Unit 919 has this, and their prestigious gifts grants them admission into the unit. Cadance is a mesmerist, Farncis is a gastronomist, Mahir is a linguist, Anah a healer, Thaddea a fighter,
* [[The Hero's Birthday]]: Used in a much darker way. The first novel of the series establishes that Morrigan will die on her birthday as a result of being a cursed child. Thus, the trope is [[Inverted]] and the birthday is nothing heroic.
** Played straight in the second book, which opens with a celebration of Morrigan's twelfth birthday, a glamorous party, and "MORRIGAN IS TWELVE" sign.
