Line 42:
* [[Christmas Cake]]: Thrix
* [[CMOT Dibbler]]: The Merchants MacDoig are a more sinister version of this.
* [[Combat
* [[Covers Always Lie]]: They're not trying to get her vote, they're trying to ''kill her''. And thereby get her seat.
* [[Cricket Rules]]: Daniel accidentally causes 'Vex to pass out when he tries to explain the rules.
* [[Cross Dresser]]: One of Kalix's brothers alternates between being [[Villainous Crossdresser|villainous]] and [[Wholesome Crossdresser|wholesome]].
* [[Dating Catwoman]]: Thrix and werewolf hunter Easterly from book 2.
* [[Deal
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Dominil, still quite chilly at the end of book 1, but her [[Pet the Dog]] moments increase and her lack of empathy moments decrease.
* [[Demon Slayer]]: The Avenaris Guild of Werewolf Hunters. They kill werewolves [[Van Helsing Hate Crimes|simply for being werewolves]] regardless of any actual wrongdoing or lack thereof. This is just as full of [[Unfortunate Implications]] as it sounds.
Line 61:
* [[The Fashionista]]: The [[Planet of Hats|Hat]] of the Fire Demon with the dueling fashions of Malveria and Kabachetka being [[Serious Business|an important]] subplot in book 1. Being a fashion desginer this is pretty much [[Justified Trope|justifed]] in Thrix's case. And then there is [[Cross Dresser|Markus]]...
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: In ''Curse'' {{spoiler|Distikka's}} is pretty good. Malveria had killed her entire family after all.
* [[Gambit Pileup]]: in book one. Kabachetka uses Sarapen to destroy Malveria's clothes, Sarapen is using Kabachetka to spring a trap on Kalix, Beauty and Delicious, Thrix is using Kalix, Daniel and Moonglow to hide her designs, Dominil is using the sisters to get a chance to kill Sarapen, Markus and his Mommy dearest are using everyone to gain the Thaneship or so Markus thinks as it's his mommy using him to use everyone else, Malveria is using Agrivex and Daniel to get Moonglow to confess her love for Daniel knowing that Moonglow [[Deal
** Book 2 goes for a more straightforward [[Batman Gambit]] and a stronger villain.
* [[Genki Girl]]: 'Vex tends to come across as one.
Line 67:
** She did want to kill Sarapen with a forbidden weapon, but we're guessing that probably applies to a lot of people where Sarapen is concerned. He's that kind of guy.
* [[Grey and Gray Morality]]: No one is really heroic in this tale, Kalix killed her father, Sarapen is batshit insane, the rest of the werewolves downright callous and manipulative, Moonglow cheats on her boyfriend, Daniel is trying to be a [[Dogged Nice Guy]] to Moonglow, Malveria a [[Retired Monster]], and the Avenaris Guild are trigger happy sociopaths.
* [[Heel Face Door Slam]]: {{spoiler|Easterly had just decided that he loved Thrix more than his job as a werewolf hunter}} and then they [[Dropped a Bridge
* [[He Is Not My Boyfriend]]: Moonglow insists she has no feelings for Daniel and they are [[Just Friends]], to the point she willing trades her love for him to go unrequited (see [[Deal
* [[Hello Kitty]]: Agrivex has a number of ''Hello Kitty'' clothes, including the pyjamas she wears to Camden Market for shopping with her aunt.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Gawain has one when he sees Kalix kissing Daniel, Markus has a [[Villainous BSOD]]/[[Heroic BSOD]]<ref> being a [[Gray and Grey Morality]] Character it's hard to pin down which he has</ref> when his girlfriend is killed.
Line 80:
* [[Les Yay]]: Thrix and Malveria all the way. To the point they would make a pretty decent [[Takahashi Couple]].
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]
* [[Magic
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: By the end of the book {{spoiler|Kalix's mother}} becomes this. {{spoiler|Though it leaves it open as to whether she will ''stay'' this.}}
* [[Manipulative Bitch]]: The Mistress of the Werewolves, so manipulative she'd give [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Gendo Ikari]] a run for his money.
Line 103:
* [[Performance Anxiety]]: One of the biggest problems Dominil has acting as manager for werewolf punk-rockers Beauty and Delicious is preventing them getting completely drunk due to their stage fright. Yep, werewolves with stage fright.
* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: A curiously literal version is performed by Kalix in Lonely Werewolf Girl when she transforms fully into her wolf form to look cute for Moonglow at one point.
* [[Raised
* [[Random Events Plot]]: ''Epically''. It seems sometimes that every last plot twist is an [[Ass Pull]], [[Diabolus Ex Machina]], or [[Contrived Coincidence]]. Somehow, [[Tropes Are Not Bad|it still works]], despite repeated [[Fridge Logic]] moments.
* [[Retired Monster]]: Malveria, she only has time to be a fashion obsessed ditz because all her serious enemies are long dead. One of her titles is Persecutor of Mankind, but that is a bit old hat these days.
* [[Revenge Before Reason]]: Gawain in book 2. Kalix in the same book, {{spoiler|after Gawain is murdered.}}
* [[The Rival]]: Fire-Princess Kabachetka is [[The Rival]] (and more than a bit of the [[Alpha Bitch]]) to Malveria.
* [[
* [[Rummage Sale Reject]]: Agrivex, mostly as rebellion against her Aunt, Malveria.
* [[Sacred Hospitality]]: Whenever Werewolves meet it is considered absolutely essential that they offer each other some whisky. Refusing to do so is considered as bad as murder.
Line 120:
* [[Spot of Tea]]: New drinking game, take a shot everytime a character is offered a cup of tea, if you are still alive at the end of the book call an ambulance for a stomach pump.
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Averted with Thrix, who can more than handle herself hand-to-hand. Averted even harder with Malveria: {{spoiler|Deprived of her magic in book 1, she starts beating up werewolves ''with a club''.}}
* [[Stalker
** And of course [[Yandere|Albemarle]] for Dominil.
* [[The State Room Sketch]]: In ''Curse of the Wolfgirl'', fashion designer Thrix is preparing for a date and is visited by almost every non-villain character.
Line 139:
* [[What Did I Do Last Night?]]: This question is asked by Thrix after a night of [[Drowning Our Romantic Sorrows]]. The answer is, her sister's boyfriend.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: Dominil, the white haired arctic werewolf.
* [[Yandere]]: Male version, Albermarle from book 2, an [[Adorkable]] friendly comic-book [[Otaku]] who is also a creepy [[Stalker
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Beauty and Delicious, though via hairdye
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Sarapen's spy and [[Vampire Wannabe|werewolf wannabe]] Madrigal is [[Genre Blind|surprised]] to find Sarapen pulling this one out the villain's handbook.
