Line 6:
* [[A God Am I]]: Funny story, actually. this was the plan Meji had for her final project to graduate from her magic academy. {{spoiler|And she actually did it...and still ended up failing the class.}}
* [[Badass Boast]] that doubles as a [[Kirk Summation]]:
{{quote|
* [[Character Development]]: See that [[Badass Boast]] above? That was in response to an elf who had just told her that he and his would [[Bullying a Dragon|hunt her to the ends of the earth]] {{spoiler|if she didn't give up her godly powers}}. Imagine [http://www.errantstory.com/2003-02-21/62 this] Meji showing that kind of restraint.
* [[Decoy Protagonist]]: Jon and Sarine are the main characters, although Meji is still very important.
Line 55:
* [[Professional Killer]]: Jon is a member of the [[Murder, Inc.|Gewehr Wraiths]], an assassins' guild.
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: with Sara, [[Lampshaded]] by Sarine [http://www.errantstory.com/2007-04-20 here.]

'''Sarine:''' Please don't do that again. You were just beard stubble away from looking exactly like your brother does when I confuse him. }}
** An elven [[Mook]] also points out the similarity [http://www.errantstory.com/2007-10-19 here.]
Line 85:
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|destroying Emerylon and killing hundreds of innocent people because he was too cowardly to take his own life.}} Considered an in universe example, as well.
* [[Mugged for Disguise]]: Ian sucker-punches a priest and steals his robes so that he can get into a restricted library. He later [http://errantstory.com/2006-02-01 mugs another man for his travel ticket]. He even [[Lampshades]] this:

* [[Older Than They Look]]: like all half-elves.
* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]: {{spoiler|Ian's goal. He believes he's justified in trying to kill every elf in the world because some of them tried (and are still trying) to kill all the half-elves. Like most things, the moral quandaries inherent in the situation are lost on him.}}
Line 107:
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Sarine, who has opened up and shown her inner [[Deadpan Snarker]] more and more over the course of the story, especially around Jon.
* [[If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...]]: Sarine [http://www.errantstory.com/2008-09-03 delivered such a speech] to former Ambassador Rarune regarding Rarune's half-elf daughter Meji.

* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Played with. [http://www.errantstory.com/2004-09-20 Jon interrupts Sarine while she's taking a bath,] but although she doesn't get freaked out or try to cover herself, she's obviously annoyed and finds the interruption rude. So basically, fanservice yes, innocent no. Also subverted later: "[http://www.errantstory.com/2008-02-11 Having no cultural nudity taboo doesn't work that way.]"
* [[In the Hood]]: Sarine wears one to conceal her telltale elven ears, though one of her fellow elves [[Lampshade|points]] [http://www.errantstory.com/2004-02-18 out] that it's not particularly subtle.
