* BadassBookworm: Just about everybody on the ship seems to be an expert in some sort of field, and they use this knowledge to pull off all sorts of badass feats. Justified because Aspen and later the other Captains primarily wake people up based on their having the necessary skills for whatever problem the crew has to death with at the moment.

Added example(s)
* TheAloner: They start the story completely alone, and spend quite a while hanging around the ship before reviving any other colonists.
* BenevolentBoss: They seem pretty reasonable as acting Captain.
* BlessedWithSuck: Their DIVR geneset makes them the most likely candidate to survive and recover from revival. Unfortunately, this means they're the one landed with emergency command of the Courageous when everything goes wrong.
* BrokenAce: They achieved a high level of success with their books, and were a well-known public figure and media darling - until [[spoiler: Acacia's death.]]
* TheCaptain: They are made Captain upon their revival from chronostasis, and retain that position for quite some time.
* CelebrityIsOverrated: They certainly don't seem to relish their status as "the Aspen Greaves" and react uncomfortably when people bring it up.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: While serving as Captain, Aspen is the first to suggest that somebody better qualified be revived to take the helm. The weight of the decisions they are forced to make clearly takes a toll on them.
* ClosetGeek: Not a Zeelite, like Tal, but they have a common interest in pre-Neocambrian zombie movies, and pre-Neocambrian culture more generally.
* CommonalityConnection: With Tal, thanks to their shared interest in pre-Neocambrian culture. Also with Adin and the first Public Universal friend, both of whom have an Arborean background, even if they aren't fully Arborean themselves.
* ConstantlyCurious: Even when not on the clock, they can frequently be found investigating the various mysteries around them onboard the Coruageous. Even when Sands points out that they simply need to reach Hylara, Aspen continues to investigate.
* CrewOfOne: Aspen is the only crew member, filling all spaces in the crew roster, upon their revival.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: They (very) indirectly caused [[spoiler: their sister's death, leading to a chain of events where they threatened the Javin programme's CEO with a knife.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: It's subtle and very deadpan, but their narration absolutely has a snarky streak.
* {{Determinator}}: Aspen is determined to explore the Courageous solo, including crossing the outside of the ship while still suffering from the aftereffects of chronostasis, and it takes breaking several bones to slow them down.
* DueToTheDead: More than the other crew members, Aspen is careful about how they treat the dead onboard the Courageous. They preserve dead colonists' bodies in freezers, since they don't know what the colonists' final wishes for their bodies would have been, are the first to suggest holding a funeral for dead crew members, and even wish to preserve part of Captain Reimann's arm to memorialise him, upon the ship's arrival on Hylara. This may be linked to their Arborean background; Arborea, we learn, has a very specific funerary culture that involves [[spoiler: butchering, consuming and preserving part of a loved one's body. Knowing they will never return to their cluster, Aspen even had a rib removed, in order to give their family something to bury.]]
* FamilyThemeNaming: All of the Greaves cluster, and potentially all Arboreans more generally, have plant names.
* FanOfThePast: They're a big fan of pre-Neocambrian cultures.
* FarmBoy: Arborea is an agricultural community, and all Arboreans are expected to help out.
* {{Foil}}: To Sands, in a strange way. Certainly, their respective approaches to [[spoiler: being Captain]] complement each other. While Sands is proactive, seeing his responsibility as primarily to the colonists, Aspen is more cautious, acting primarily to preserve the life and well-being of the crew. Sands even points this out - he values and relies on Aspen partially because of their differing approaches and strengths.
* GreenThumb: They're good at gardening, thanks to their Arborean background.

to:
* HeartbrokenBadass: They are clearly grieveing (and fleeing the consequences of) [[spoiler:Acacia's death]] but they're still a badass.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Aspen is prone to self-criticism, largely tied to their guilt over [[spoiler:Acacia's death]] as well as their sense that they are not cut out for the job thrust upon them by the ship's AI. Ironically, they are quick to nip this in the bud when other crew members such as Adin talk this way about themselves.
* HonestAdvisor: They play this role for Sands, and Sands explicitly consults them in order to get a different, honest perspective.
* HumbleHero: They regularly are very humble about their own achievements, to a point that veers into HeroicSelfDeprecation.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Their insistence that other crew members shouldn't blame themselves for deaths that happened on their watch contrasts with Aspen's own approach to [[spoiler: Acacia's death]].
* ILetGwenStacyDie: They are haunted by the death of [[spoiler: their sister, Acacia]].
* [[spoiler: ImAHumanitarian: A rare heroic and unproblematic example. Arborean funereal customs require this, a fact that Aspen knows not to mention around non-Arboreans. After the crew hold a funeral for dead former crew members, Aspen feels strange until they've eaten some meat from the stores, as a replacement.]]
* ItsAllMyFault: They have a tendency to blame things on themselves, and see themselves as unforgiveable.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Aspen's books suggest this as a mechanism driving migration, which they call the Exodus Phenomenon. In their own case, though, it's more complicated. They claim to have been "bitten by the bug" but in reality, their decision seems to have been influenced strongly by [[spoiler: guilt and feelings of no longer belonging in Arborea after their sister's death]].
* TheLeader: Even after [[spoiler: they are no longer Captain]], Aspen is still the de facto leader of the crew, and the one they turn to when making decisions.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: By the initial crew members, at least at first, regarding [[spoiler: their status as convicts.]] They figure it out, eventually.
* MadeOfIron: Aspen recovers from chronostasis and seems to generally have a high tolerance for changes in pressure and oxygen, due to their DIVR geneset.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Possibly [[JustifiedTrope justified]] thanks to future technologies such as "bone cement", but Aspen seems more irritated than anything when they break multiple ribs and their arm when trying to block off an air vent, early on in their Captaincy.
* MoralMyopia: They have their blind spots. In particular, Sands and the Public Universal Friend both criticise them for their attachment to the revived crew and willingness to protect them at the expense of the "sleeping" colonists. Aspen also has some of this in their backstory; in particular, they are accused of having been naive for thinking that prison laborers encountered on their brief spell on Luna were any "freer" or "better off" than the convicts on the Courageous.
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: Acacia's death, caused when Aspen persuaded her to attend a debate, even though she was thinking of stepping back from the spotlight. Aspen's security detail picked up on a threat and forced them to delay their travel to the event; afraid that Acacia would simply not attend, Aspen didn't warn their sister, who was caught up in the attack that followed.]]
* NumberTwo: [[To Captain Sands]]. It should have been Tinera, going by rank, but this thankfully doesn't become a source of any major tension.
* NWordPrivileges: Aspen describes themselves as a "dryad". When Sands tries to correct them, they tell him that they're allowed to use the word.
* TheParanoiac: A tendency first seen when Aspen thinks that the crew are hiding something from them, and a paranoiac tendency continues to rear its head at various points thoroughout the story. To be fair, these seem to be a case of Aspen being ProperlyParanoid, as the crew are initially hiding [[spoiler: their status as convicts]] from their Captain. And more generally, there's no shortage of causes for paranoia onboard the Courageous.
* TheProfessor: Not much is made of it, but as well as being a pop sociology author, Aspen was also a professor, in their past life.
* ReallyGetsAround: Drifting in and out of sexual relationships seems to be the norm in Arborea, and Aspen is quick to suggest or accept offers of no-strings attached sex, which is always presented very casually in the narration. They sleep with Tinera, Adin and Tal, at the very least, and make an offer to Sands, only for him to reveal that [[spoiler: he is married, and thus uninterested.]]
* RelativeButton: Don't mention [[spoiler: Acacia's death]] around Aspen.
* RuleOfSymbolism: Whenever Aspen's gardening, expect some kind of low-key metaphor for how they see themselves. It's not made explicit, for example, but the dandelions' instinct for survival, mirrors Aspen's own drive to survive. Similarly, Aspen's activities when weeding mirror their careful management and "weeding out" of potentially dangerous views among crew members.
* SiblingYinYang: According to Aspen, they and Acacia played this up for publicity purposes. In reality, they apparently agreed on most points, but that didn't sell as many books or get as much press coverage.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: They are periodically described as "The Aspen Greaves", much to their distaste.
* SuperToughness: The DIVR geneset confers various advantages, including resistance to changes in pressure and temperature, and a quicker recovery from chronostasis.
* TheyreCalledPersonalIssuesForAReason: Aspen rarely wishes to talk about their past, and in return refuses to snoop into their crewmates' pasts. They are quick to emphasis the "fresh start" nature of the colony - perhaps motivated by their poorly worked-through desire to escape their past, and in particular their guilt over [[spoiler: Acacia's death]].
* UndyingLoyalty: Aspen is very loyal to the initial crew members, going so far as to [[spoiler: eject Chronostasis Ring 1]] in order to save Denish' life, when he gets stuck there.
* UnreliableNarrator: The story is presented from Aspen's point of view, complete with all of their blind spots and interpretative biases. In particular, there are occasions where they are either wrong about the nature of various inter-personal dynamics that exist onboard the Courageous - such as the fact that Sands [[spoiler: doesn't hate the convicts, but is afraid of them, and just downplays this around Aspen, out of a sense of admiration]].
* {{Workaholic}}: Downplayed, but they seem to spend a lot of their free time working, or investigating the mysteries of the ship, and in particular seem prone to trying to work when they really should be resting up, medically.
* YouAreInCommandNow: The whole premise, at the start, is that Aspen has been woken up and left in command of the Courageous.

Also, an extra gender, brennan, exists in this world, using ke/kem pronouns, while Aspen goes by they/them, and the Public Universal Friend goes by it/its, though this is more of a religious thing and not necessarily a gender identity thing.
*SurprisiglyEliteCannonFodder: For a crew of [[spoiler: mostly convicts]] who weren't supposed to be manning the ship at all, they do a surprisingly good job of it. At least, given the circumstances.
*TeethClenchedTeamwork: At times, especially once [[spoilers: Keldin Sands]] becomes the Captain.
*ThereAreNoTherapists: A fact much bemoaned by Aspen, who would love there to be a real psychologist on board. To be fair, the official system does obviously value therapy, and the crew do what they can with what they've got - they've just not got the resources or ability to revive a qualified psychologist, so you end up with Aspen (a sociologist) and later Renn ([[spoiler: a proponent of Lyman Projects]]) as your best possible options.
*TraumaCongaLine: The crew really go through the wringer.
*TrueCompanions: The crew - especially its first incarnation - are notably close, and very protective of each other.
*UnfazedEveryman: Nobody seems to freak out upon being revived, despite the obviously unideal circumstances. Possibly [[JustifiedTrope justified]] due to the Javelin selection process weeding out the sort of person who would immediately freak out. Still impressive, though.
*YouCantGoHomeAgain: Earth and Hylara are simply too far from each other - multiple lightyears - for communication, or any kind of return to be possible, especially once you factor in the time that the journey takes. Plus, it's incredibly dangerous to go into chronostasis more than once, meaning that the colonists, once they have arrived, have no practical way of making a return journey. And even if they did, by the time they arrived, all their loved ones would be long-since dead.
*ResurrectionSickness: Some of the crew are worse affected than others upon waking from chronostasis, but almost all of them are unwell for a while.
*ScienceHero: Our heroes are mostly scientists and engineers.
*ShellShockedVeteran: The crew's actions and experiences have clearly taken a toll on them.
*TheSlowPath: The crew, once awakened, cannot be put back into chronostasis, meaning that they will have to be awake for the remaining five years of their journey to Hylara.

* ExplosiveLeash: The [[spoiler: kill switches that the convict crew have installed.]]
* FieldPromotion: None of the colonists were supposed to be woken at all, now they're all awake and serving as emergency crew for the Courageous.
* FreeLoveFuture: This seems to be par for the course, at least in some of the crew's cultures. Arborea, in particular, is not described as being a pair-bonding culture, and having multiple partners is apparently the norm there. Even within pair-bonding cultures, monogamy is not apparently a universal rule, with Lunaris having the idea "nosoking" (ie. no-strings-attached casual sex). Gender and/or sexual orientation also does not seem to be much of a factor, thanks to the SpeculativeFictionLGBT nature of the setting.
*GeneticAdaptation: The Arboreans are noted to have modified their colony's gene pool early on, notably with the DIVR geneset, which confers various advantages to people working in floating forests (as well as a citrus allergy, but you win some you lose some).
*GotVolunteered: [[What happened to the convicts on the crew.]]
*LongevityTreatment: [[Whether intentional or not, this is one of the effects of the CR1 and CR5 genetic modifications.]]

*MultinationalTeam: Though the majority of the crew are Texan, the main characters also include an Arborean, a Lunari, some Tarandrans and some Public Universal Friends (who are considered as nationless). The previous crew also definitely had at least one Japanese-speaker in Kinoshita Keiko.
*NakedOnArrival: The colonists are naked upon their emergence from chronostasis. This doesn't pose many problems, thanks to...
*NoNudityTaboo: Not explicitly stated, but Aspen has to remind themself early on that the Texans have a nudity taboo, which very much suggests that nudity is, if not an everyday thing, at least a normal, non-shocking thing for the non-Texans on the crew.
