Line 191:
* [[The Ditz]]: Azure Crush's [[Muggle]] best friend Didi isn't exactly the sharpest spoon in the drawer, but she can be surprisingly [[Genre Savvy]].
* [[Does Not Know His Own Strength]]: Revealed to have happened at least a couple times to Willow as a child -- most notably an incident where she injured her father by greeting him too enthusiastically -- but carefully hidden from her by her parents.
* [[
* [[The Duke of Wellington]]: The ancestor of [[Harry Potter|Ron Wellesley]], whose father is the current Duke.
* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]: {{spoiler|Shar's [[Heroic Sacrifice]] after she's infected by the nanobots. She essentially turns herself into a thermonuclear bomb to halt the impending [[Grey Goo]] Disaster.}}
Line 422 ⟶ 423:
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Alex, continuously, without ever really noticing, even when others point it out.
* [[Totally Radical]]: Alex's father, possibly deliberately invoking this trope, comments on Alex's (successful) attempt to influence developing slang by asking her about her efforts to "pimp rad lingo". Alex complains he's out of date.
▲* [[Trademark Favorite Drink]]: Alex prefers Diet Coke to almost anything. Given the absolutely ''huge'' amount of food she has to eat to fuel her powers, almost everyone in the know about her finds this both amusing and ironic.
* [[Training from Hell]]: Alex puts herself through this, slowly ramping up the difficulty as her physical and psychic limits grow. For example, by the middle of the story she's doing 100 upside-down sit-ups every morning by holding herself to a wall with her TK. Plus martial arts training from another super. And her academic schedule could be seen as just another form of this.
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: Played with. Alex basically dives in her liquid form into a gym bag holding her costume, and pretty much just flows into it, then comes back out and returns to human shape.
