Line 344:
** She later {{spoiler|made some sort of magical computer with a similar effect}}, so adult Donald also can make a barrier strong enough to [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=285 repel Ysengrin's attack.]
* [[Bonnie Scotland]]: Donald, according to [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=361&page=40#20411 Tom].
* [[Expressive Mask|Expressive]] [[Eye Glasses]]: [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1011 Donald].
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Anja.
Line 421 ⟶ 420:
* [[Badass Boast]]: Jones proves that one doesn't need to be long-winded, eloquent, or loud to deliver one of these when she tells Coyote (a ''god'') that {{spoiler|she could take Annie back to the Court against his wishes, inside his own domain.}}
{{quote|[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID{{=}}818 "You know I can take her if I wish."]}}
* [[Black Eyes]]: the color of obsidian, they fit her emotionless nature.
* [[British Accents]]: [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=361&page=40#20411 Pointedly averted by Tom]—to the point of her being devoid of an accent—to emphasize her enigmatic nature.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: The first reference to Jones (her office door, with her name on it, is shown in Ch 8) was so subtle that none of the readers noticed it until after Jones herself appeared in-comic.
Line 426:
** Her [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=841 cameo] in ''City Face 2''.
** In ''Microsat 5'', Donald stole her phone to trace Anthony's call. Her deadpan reaction when she needs to make a call is hilarious.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Not frequently, but ''[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=478 how]''. Sometimes it's hard to tell for sure -- "[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1000 Full of subtlety]"? "''[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1001 Very bright]'' young man"?
* [[Emotionless Girl]]
Line 632 ⟶ 631:
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Blue. She's not human, of course, but her human form looks like someone of Indian ethnicity.
* [[Buffy-Speak]]: Red describes rooms and chairs as "big boxes" and "sitty-downy things", respectively.
* [[Emergent Human]]: Red shows signs of this; namely, when she learns that you can cut your hair, and then assumes that you can cut ''anything'' of "these bodies" and [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=325 attempts to cut off her finger]
* [[The Fair Folk]]: Even after being turned into humans Red and Blue can be alien enough to leave Kat and even Annie round-eyed and slack-jawed. [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=332 Love for mischief] is one of more [[Comedic Sociopathy|endearing and understandable]] traits of ex-fairies.
