* [[Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male]]: Tiara and Graham's relationship is possibly the most twisted situation in the story, and that's ''really'' saying something. Her treatment of him is pretty much a textbook cycle of abuse and reward.
* [[Action Girl]]: Tiara isn't just a magic user. She's a [[Full

Other character: "I am me." }}
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Tiara (red) and Lena (blue).
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The highly detailed watercolor backgrounds throughout the show.
* [[Screw Yourself]]: While Tiara, as a child, is trying to tame Graham, her great power manifests as a red-skinned (and naked) version of her powered-up form as an adult. It proceeds to grab her and give her a deep kiss.
