Boring but Practical
Line 34:
* [[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 Hawthorne. In the third book, when {{spoiler|Wunsoc reveals to the public that she is a Wundersmith, the Hotel Deucalion's doors are flooded with reporters trying to catch a glimpse of her abilities, made worse by the bounty placed on a demonstration of her performance caught on camera.}}
* [[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.}}
* [[Boring but Practical]]: [[Downplayed]] in the case of the ''School of Mundane Arts'', which teaches medicine, sports, engineering, politics, and any other subjects which is required for the Wunderous Society to continue operation. While these talents cannot be classified as ''boring'', the name ''mundane arts'', as well as their contrast with the ''School of Arcane Arts'', leaves quite a bit to be desired. The book itself even acknowledges the "practical" part, with the school's motto being ''Just Try Getting On Without Us''.
* [[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.
* [[Cats Are Snarkers]]: The Magnificat Fenestra inserts some sort of sarcastic phrase or remark into every other sentence.
