Line 57:
* [[Hidden Elf Village]]: An entire country, in this case. The Free States, where Nevermoor is located, has decided to cut themselves off from the Wintersea Republic, to the point where few people in the republic have actually heard of the city. Despite being neighbouring countries, the two engage in almost no diplomatic relationships. Strict border controls are present in the entire country to the point where a major plot revolves around the potential for Morrigan to get deported.
* [[The Jinx]]: Everyone in Jackalfax believes Morrigan to be this, being born as a cursed child. She is blamed for all the misfortunes happening within the town, and is frequently forced to write apology letters. She has to get private tutoring, and some of her tutors stand outside of her door because they don't want to get jinxed. {{spoiler|It turns out that the Jinx was all fabricated and that Morrigan wasn't cursed at all.}}
* [[Kid Hero]]: Morrigan is eleven at the start of the series, twelve when she solves the mystery of the disappearing animals in ''[[Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow]]'', and thirteen when {{spoiler|she eradicates the Hollowpox in ''[[Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow]]''}}.
** Other characters are young as well, with the other members in Unit 919 being around the same age as Morrigan, and Jupiter's teenage nephew Jack being slightly older.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Cadance Blackburn posses this ability, even if it's involuntary. Being a mesmerist, she is forgotten by the people who she meets.
* [[Mad Lib Fantasy Title]]: All books in the series use at least one magic buzzword in their title, such as ''trials'', ''calling'', and ''mystery''. The constructed words, such as ''Hollowpox'' and ''Wundersmith'' all draws attention, leaving enough information for audiences to have a vague idea of what the concept represents, but never giving away too much information -- the perfect way to create viewer intrigue.
