Added DiffLines:

* AsianAndNerdy: Tai is a Vietnamese-American kid who's a fan of comic books and video games, citing them as inspiration for his light constructs as a Green Lantern. But he subverts the BrainyBrunette part of the stereotype by being thoroughly BookDumb, much to his friend Serena's frustration.
* AudienceSurrogate: Since the Green Lantern Corps aren't FamedInStory on Earth yet and Tai is a NaiveNewcomer (not unlike the story being a GatewaySeries for new comic readers), he has to be filled in on things such as what the Green Lantern Ring can do and who Sinestro is.
* BookDumb: Tai struggles in school, referring to the Pythagorean theorem as "the Python's Korean", much to [[BrainyBrunette Serena's]] disbelief. His TripleShifter work as a superhero and member of the Green Lantern Corps doesn't help, dozing off in class repeatedly as he spends his nights training and stopping rampant arson attacks even with the help of Kid Flash.
* EnlightenmentSuperpower: Iolande recommends Tai meditate like his grandmother did to help him tap into his creativity and focus. But he's thirteen and either falls asleep or gets distracted when he tries. He instead achieves this upon entering the zen mindset of throwing himself into his art, which results in him fighting his own fears in the form of a Yellow Lantern EnemyWithout in his head. From there, Tai's mastery of his power ring grows by leaps and bounds.
* EnemyWithout: Tai fights an army of Yellow Lantern versions of himself as a part of his Green Lantern training.
* KidHero: Tai is technically only a cadet in the Green Lantern Corps until the end of the first book, upon which he's named a fully-fledged Green Lantern. He then becomes a prominent thirteen-year-old superhero in his hometown of Coast City.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Tai is not an especially tall teenager, but as a Green Lantern he wields one of the most powerful weapons in the universe.

* BadassNormal: In Future State, where the green light is dying and she is rendered with minimal charge aboard a station while its being invaded by Sinestro Corps lanterns.

* FeeFiFauxPas: After saving the Axelbobians from certain destruction, he reached out toward one (whether to give a handshake or comforting shoulder touch isn't clear), only to be firmly rebuffed and to have all the Axelbobians run away from him.
