Line 36:
* [[Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest]] - Gleefully inverted; Bones takes great delight in being as crude and as sexually explicit as he can, under the pretense of helping Cat overcome her blushing naivete.
* [[Captain Ersatz]] - Bones is blond, pale, British, and two hundred years old. Remind you of [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|anyone?]] [[Word of God]] [http://bloodybookaholic.blogspot.com/2010/01/interview-with-jeaniene-frost.html denies any deliberate resemblance], but doesn't rule out the possibility.
* [[Child
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Bone's first rule of combat "always kick them while they are down"
* [[Conspiracy Theorist]] - Timothy, Cat's next neighbor in the first book, is convinced the government covers up evidence of the supernatural (he's right). He later goes to work for "one of those magazines that give Cat's boss headaches".
* [[A Date
* [[A Day in
* [[Die or Fly]]: Bones uses this training technique a lot, more literally in This Side Of The Grave when {{spoiler|helping Cat master flying by telling her "fly or swim"}}
* [[Dhampyr]] - Cat is stronger and faster than humans, but not as much as vampires. And while her eyes glow when she's emotional, she can't use them to mesmerize humans. On the plus side, since her heart still beats, vampires generally don't realize she isn't human until she's sliding a silver knife into their hearts.
