Line 9:
* [[Amazing Technicolor Population]]: Subverted; Serroi's green skin (she's a [[Mutants|mutant]]) is a dead give-away unless she takes pains to hide it. (There ''are'' other green-skinned people; however, Serroi couldn't possibly be mistaken for one, as they're ''[[Lizard Folk|scaly]]''.)
* [[Amazon Brigade]]: The Biserica, although ''meien'' usually just travel in pairs.
* [[Call a Rabbit Aa Smeerp]]: If it wasn't obvious enough that chinin are dogs (or such a close analogue that someone from our world would automatically consider them "dogs") in ''Moongather'', they're explicitly identified as such in ''Changer's Moon''.
* [[Convenient Miscarriage]]: Averted. {{spoiler|[[Magical Abortion|The Biserica equivalent of a morning-after pill]] is nasty stuff.}}
* [[Death By Origin Story]]: {{spoiler|Tayyan's [[Better to Die Than Be Killed|suicide]]}} in ''Moongather''.
Line 19:
* [[High Fantasy]]: Kind of.
* [[Horse of a Different Color]]: Macain are monotremes resembling ornithopod dinosaurs. Rambuts are somewhere between a zebra and an antelope. And a vinat is a moose with porcupine quills.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Ser Noris pulls an almost literal example in ''Moongather''. If by "kick" you mean {{spoiler|"drain out the life force—[[Powered Byby a Forsaken Child|using a little girl as a conduit]]—then transform what's left into demons,"}} that is. And if by "dog" you mean {{spoiler|"entire litter of puppies, followed by the rest of the menagerie,"}} that is.
* [[Love Hurts]]: And ''how''.
* [[Low Fantasy]]: Kind of.
Line 25:
* [[Magic Knight]]: Serroi is quite the fighter, but also has quite impressive [[Healing Hands|healing]] and [[Nature Hero|nature-magic]] powers.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: They vary incredibly widely in size, seem to be lighter than air, and communicate by changing the colors of their transparent bodies.
* [[Rape Asas Drama]]: Happens to {{spoiler|Tuli}} in ''Moonscatter'' and {{spoiler|Julia}} in ''Changer's Moon''.
* [[Rebellious Princess]]: Tuli, although it's more accurate to call her the daughter of a minor noble.
* [[Shout -Out]]: To the ''[[Dragonriders of Pern]]'' series, in ''Changer's Moon''.
* [[Standard Fantasy Setting]]: Averted hard.
* [[Stout Strength]]: Short, pudgy Hern is [[Royals Who Actually Do Something|surprisingly effective]] in a fight.
