Line 21:
* [[Because Destiny Says So]]: One of two reasons why Kayari Lastaya has to be the one to defeat the Twilight Dragon.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: You do not want to get Aina angry. You WILL be sorry.
* [[Bizarre Baby Boom]]: After a while, it turns out that nearly every baby born on Earth was becoming infected with either the Crystallinevirus or the Capaciousvirus - two very bad [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]] type diseases that permanently alter the molecular structure and brain density of the affected people.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Kayari does this in chapter four. Apparently the novel is the accounts of her adventures.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Oh, so much...
Line 27:
* [[Children Are Innocent]]: Fader Haters take it upon themselves to virutally slaughter anyone who shows signs of the Crystallinevirus. Too bad most of these victims are young children.
* [[Closer to Earth]]: Aina, especially in comparisson to her potential love interest, Trowa.
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: People who have been infected with the Crystallinevirus can become see-through and partially intangeable. Unfortunately, the disease also leads to death, either by "losing yourself" or being hunted down and eventually murdered by Fader Haters. Psychics could also count. They possess incredible psychic power, but most end up killing their parents as infants or toddlers because they can not control their power that young.
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: Gaignun in the first book. In ''Phantom Revenant'', he gets an upgrade to full-on [[Bishonen]].
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Boy, are there ever
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: The Hanekuro people have black wings. Most are quite friendly, however, despite the prejudice and persecution they constantly face from humans.
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: Princess Atoli, despite Kayari telling this story in first person, has an entire two chapters dedicated to her early on in the novel.
* [[Deliberately Cute Child]]: Keaira's cute, and she knows it. Too bad that beneath the cute exterior and adorable mannerisms, she's a horrid little demon spawn (not literally, of course)
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: The Lastaya siblings’ dad left them after the apparent death of his only son. The Adler siblings’ father was tortured to death.
Line 42:
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Aina McCrae fits this, due mostly to the fact that she is a therian. She also has control over fireflies. All therians actually fit this. She has been known to take this trope [[Up to Eleven]].
* [[Functional Magic]]: Princess Atoli is a sorceress in training who is on a pilgrimage to acquire new spells before she is interrupted by her true quest. The pearls of Atlantis also function as incredibly potent sources of magic.
* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: DEPRESSION (Diminished Emotion Percentage Redirects Essential and Superfluous Sadness to the Open Network-System) and EMOTION (Emotions Magnified Outrageously To Ignite Obfuscating Nature), the computer viruses that AI can get.
* [[Gut Feeling]]: Kayari gets these about her little sister. Unfortunately, it's usually something bad, and she's usually right.
* [[Halfbreed]]: All of the Adler siblings are half human, half Hanekuro.
Line 58:
* [[Mutants]]: Leilani was once a simple human, but with the help of some radioactive goo and a piece of dolphin flesh, she became a pseudo-mermaid.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The scene where Kayari’s mom searches for Kether and then subsequently commits suicide is disturbing, to say the least.
* [[Occupiers Out of Our Country!]]: More like Occupiers Out Of Our Planet. Let's just say that Humans don't take too kindly to the Hanekuro, despite the fact that they really haven't done anything wrong.
* [[Opposites Attract]]: At least, this is what Trowa is hoping. Unfortunately for him, he's something of an idiot, whereas Aina is most certainly not.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: For one, who even believes in Dragons in the 32nd century anyways? Of course it would really have to be a life sucking parasite that feeds on human sins. Not that it's any more believeable than an actual Dragon...
