Line 76:
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Jupiter North, who gives a nickname to Morrigan.
* [[No Hugging, No Kissing]]: Books one to three never discuss any kind of romance or relationships, despite having many characters that are the opposite gender. Romance is never the focus of any story arcs. This applies to characters of different ages: the pre-teen (and teenage) Morrigan, the teenage Jack, and the adult Jupiter.
* [[Opposite Gender Protagonists]]: Morrigan and her best friend Hawthorne. In the [[Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow|first book]], Hawthorne is notable for being the first person her age to become her friend. Back in her home town of Jackalfax, she is perceived as being a cursed child and blamed for all the misfortunes occurring around her. She and Hawthorne trial together for a position in the Wunderous Society, and in the [[Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow|second book]] plays a huge role in shutting down the [[Black Market|Ghastly Market]] As the series progresses, the trope is used less as the rest of Unit 919 opens up to her and play a bigger role in the story, meaning there is no character clearly identifiable as a sidekick.
* [[The Order]]: The prestigious Wunderous Society. It only accepts the most advanced and talented of people in Nevermoor, recruiting only nine new members a year, who has to pass rigorous trials. {{spoiler|Their original goal is to train Wundersmiths, and to cater to their abilities. After Ezra Squall's masscare, they reestablished their public image as being firmly against Wundersmiths, closing down the ninth floor.}} Their members are expected to help around the community, and, in return, they are treated with dignity and respect. Joining this order, however, can prove stressful, due to the added responsibilities.
* [[Overly Long Name]]: The tournament names of dragons in dragon-riding competitions. Every dragon must have a unique name that cannot resemble the names of any other dragon entered into it, so over time, the competitors and names got creative. This leads to names like ''On a Glorious Flight to Valour and Victory'' and ''Look How Big His Talons Are?''
