Line 23:
* [[Evil Corporation]]: Uni Corp, Rose's parents' company, which runs practically the entire solar system, owns sentient life forms as property (Otto and his family), creates artificial islands with no regard to environmental damage, and more.
* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]: Rose is sixty years out of date.
* [[Five-Token Band]]: Somewhat overdone: Bren is multiracial and his group of friends includes a [[Half-Human Hybrid]], a German, a Russian, an Arab, a Japanese and a girl raised on Callisto, one of the colony worlds.▼
* [[Flash Back]]: Rose-the-narrator's way of informing readers about her past. An interesting variation, since she has several repressed memories that take a long time to come to light.
* [[Future Slang]]: "Holy coit!"
Line 45 ⟶ 46:
* [[Posthumous Character]]: The Fitzroys, Xavier and Asa are developed via Rose's flashbacks.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|Guillory is killed trying to shield Rose from the Plastine.}}
<!-- * [[Rejected Declaration Of Love]]: {{spoiler|Bren is mildly horrified to discover Rose's cruch on him, since her taciturn behavior makes her completely unreadable to him. Later as he warms up to her, he admits that her emotional issues scare him, and that he doesn't feel capable of being what she needs.}} -->
* [[Replacement Love Interest]]: Rose admits to herself that Bren reminds her of Xavier, and that sometimes she can't even tell which one she wants.
* [[Say My Name]]: Reginald Guillory, the leader of [[Uni Corp]], tries to get Rose to call him Reggie. She can't.
Line 54 ⟶ 55:
* [[Telepathy]]: Otto and some of his siblings.
* [[There Are No Therapists]]: Subverted. Dr. Bija does her level best, but Rose doesn't give her much to work with. It's actually {{spoiler|Otto's telepathy}} that helps her the most.
▲* [[Token Band]]: Bren is multiracial and his group of friends includes a [[Half-Human Hybrid]], a German, a Russian, an Arab, a Japanese and a girl raised on Callisto, one of the colony worlds.
* [[True Companions]]: The hybrids. {{spoiler|At the end, Rose with Bren, Xavier and Otto.}}
* [[Twice-Told Tale]]: ''[[Sleeping Beauty]]''.
Line 61:
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Bren to Rose after she {{spoiler|goes into stasis to console herself over his rejection, without telling anyone.}}
* [[You Are Number Six]]: The hybrids originally went by their birth numbers, until 42 died and Otto (86) could not stand the idea of any more of them dying nameless.
