* {{Scotireland}}: Yes, Curran is another example of a Scottish actor playing an Irish character (or at least one with an Irish accent) but it's actually a ''decent'' Irish accent. So despite not sounding Scottish some people, including ThatOtherWiki, still think Priests accent is Scottish. Some TropesAreBad.

* GenreBlind: Yeah Lighthammer, now that you've finally got him at your mercy don't bother smashing his head in. Why not drop your weapon and inspect the corpse? [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong I'm certain nothing could possibly go wrong]].



* FieryRedhead: She certainly chimes in enthusiastically when Reinhardt's being given a chance to stake blade. Plus being a vampire its very likely she has a violent streak too.

to:

* FauxActionGirl: We don't see her do anything of real note except chase off a reaper and later she [[spoiler: becomes completely useless when confronted by Reaper!Lighthammer to the point of coming off like a scared little girl rather than an elite vampire warrior. To say nothing of the horror stereotype of females running "upstairs" instead of toward help]].

* TooDumbToLive: Granted she's just seen [[spoiler: her beloved chow down on one of her friends, so when she doesn't think to use the UV light on him rather than useless bullets might be natural panic. But fleeing upwards instead of down a tunnel, ''into sunlight'' no less, has to be one of the dumbest things a vampire could possibly do]].
