** More than a few times Lawrence claims that Holo is his wife, and no one comments on it, even though her human form is specifically mentioned in-story and designed to look like a fifteen year old girl and Lawrence is in his mid-to-late twenties. In today's culture this would cause shock and dismay in a lot of people at ''best'', but in the time period portrayed, it was a given that a young girl, often as soon as she started her periods, would be married off to an older man who either has a business of his own, or is the heir of a wealthy family. Lawrence matches the former, but even so he may still be a little young, and his merchant business a little to tenuous, for when a man usually married.

** Worth noting is that many characters comment that it's odd for Lawrence to be travelling with a wife - but not because of her age, but because of the nature of his work.

* [[Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male)]]: Holo can sometimes get a bit aggressive when Lawrence says or does something she disapproves of, occasionally resorting to stomping on his foot, punching him the ribs, or just generally being rough with him.
* [[End of an Age]]: Holo decides to leave because the villagers say that they don't need a harvest god anymore. While she initially helped them by making the crops grow, she occasionally had to do the opposite to prevent the growing village from being struck by the [[wikipedia:Tragedy of the commons|Tragedy of the Commons]], which grew the resentment among the villagers. At the time she left, she was portrayed in the village harvest festivities as an [[The Man Is Keeping Us Down|oppressive force]] and a thief instead of as a wise benefactor.
