** Though it doesn't stop him from trying to kill Jordan, Hansel openly weeps at the thought of doing so, and shows tells her he feels no pleasure in what he feels thinks he has to do.
** When Joan's mother is mortally injured by a falling row of lights, she's barely clinging to life and begs Vad to kill her, saying he owes her that much after all the misery he's put her through over the years. He's clearly horrified at witnessing herslow slow, agonizing death and agrees. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, the magic the trio have doesn't work on those that are not afraid of them, and with her death looming, Joan's mother no longer is.]]
*ExactWords:
ExactWords: With the Fables well aware of this trope, it goes back and forth. Hansel says his signing bonus was to be granted a wish and Feathertop points out the contract states that will only happen when ''he'' chooses it. Hansel tells him the wording he chose was extremely specific, as it was to happen upon his death. Since he'd already technically died before being resurrected as a walking corpse, his wish has already been granted, much to Feathertop's annoyance.
** Peter's signing bonus was to take on any pain Bo experienced, something he hid from her. While at first she's mad as hell when she finds this out, he explains the exact wording of the spell meant it would be transferred to the one she loves the most. This utterly charms her.
*EvilReadhead:
ExtremeOmnisexual: Connor is confirmed to be pansexual. He's shown to have sex with other Fables, humans, and even a ''ghost'' during the series run. Not hard to see why given he can shapeshift himself into different forms, which means he has a relaxed view on sex as it is.
*FakingTheDead:
EvilRedhead: Kellen is a redhead and the most brutal of the trio, generally using his clawed glove to eviscerate people.
*FeelsNoPain:
FakingTheDead: Bo Peep fakes [[spoiler: Jordan's death by transforming a pig to look like her and executing it. She really sends the girl to Nibiru to help resurrect the dead world.]]
*HappilyMarried:FatBastard: Kellen is shown to be an overweight teen and a brutal one once he starts killing people. He never loses it either as he's still fat decades later.
* FeelsNoPain: Bo Peep never seems to notice when she gets hurt. This is because there's a magic spell in place that transfers it to Peter instead.
* HappilyMarried: Peter and Bo have a rock-solid relationship.

* TheChosenOne:
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve:
* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
* CompellingVoice: Vad's amulet gives him the power to make anyone do anything when he gives them a verbal command.
* DeadAllAlong:
* DarkActionGirl: Tanner, the woman working for the group collecting magical artifacts called Acquisitions.
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
* DisappearedDad: Garrett's father barely calls or visits him, something Tanner gets pretty pissed about
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide:
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Though it doesn't stop him from trying to kill Jordan, Hansel openly weeps at the thought of doing so, and shows no pleasure in what he feels he has to do.
** When Joan's mother is mortally injured by a falling row of lights, she's barely clinging to life and begs Vad to kill her, saying he owes her that much after all the misery he's put her through over the years. He's clearly horrified at witnessing her slow death and agrees. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, the magic the trio have doesn't work on those that are not afraid of them, and with her death looming, Joan's mother no longer is.]]
* ExactWords:
* EvilReadhead:
* FakingTheDead:
* FeelsNoPain:
* HappilyMarried:
* HeelFaceTurn: Garrett is shown to be the most reluctant of the trio to use his powers to harm others, being the last of the three to start using them to take over the high school. Bobby tells his mother he eventually went through one and turned on the other two. [[spoiler: It turns out it's complete bullshit told to make her happy, for Bobby says he was an irredeemable monster that had to be executed because he couldn't turn away from evil.]]
* IgnoredEpiphany: When [[spoiler: Jordan]] is sent to Nibiru so she won't cause anymore trouble on Earth, it appears she's going to restore the world to its former glory using her powers for good now after [[spoiler: Bo]] was kind to her. Come the last issue and it turns out she's actually reviving the dead to take over Earth. Likewise, [[spoiler: Tanner acknowledges her part in Garrett's death, even saying "I killed my son" to Jordan, but immediately decides to help the young girl take over the planet.]]
* JerkJock: Being subjected to bullying by these is what causes Garrett and his two friends to snap and start using their magic recklessly.
* KiddieKid: Jordan is twelve years old but is shown to have a talking stuffed unicorn as a companion and wanting to have tea parties, behavior that would be more becoming in a child half her age. Given she's gone through quite a bit of trauma in a short amount of time, it's possible she's regressed into what she sees as more ''safe'' behaviors when the world wasn't as turned upside down.
* LivingLieDetector:
* LudicrousGibs:
* MoreThanMindControl:
* NaiveNewcomer:
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Bo Peep is reluctant to kill Jordan since she's just a little girl despite Feathertop's insistence she has enough power to destroy the entire ''world.'' There are hints Jordan can still be a good person. [[spoiler: But as it turns out, Feathertop was ''right.'' Sparing Jordan's life and sending her to another world only gives her a lot of time to raise an army of the dead to conquer Earth.]]
* NoodleIncident:
* PetTheDog: Jordan has immense powers as a young witch and is not afraid to use them. But she lets her grandma live despite the terrified woman calling the cops and even fixes Bo Peep's leg because Bo was being kind to her.
* OnlyMostlyDead: Hansel is killed in the first issue but Feathertop resurrects him anyway, implied to be for a purpose never revealed.
* QuestionableConsent: Connor sleeps with a target in the form of a woman he knows in order to get close to him. While a bit surprised at the reveal, the man is not upset at the fact that Connor essentially committed rape by deception by making him think [[BedTrick he was sleeping with someone else.]]
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil:
* ReallyGetsAround: Connor sleeps with a ''lot'' of people throughout the issues.
* RiddleForTheAges:
* RookieRedRanger:
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike:
* ThePowerOfLove:
* TimeAbyss:
* UnexplainedRecovery: Hansel was last seen in the Fables comic being booted off a cliff by Old Sam after getting a ''tremendous'' [[SuperSpeed head start.]] Here he's back to full health and working with the other Fables again. Possibly justified in that it's been shown many Fables can recover from even the most horrendous injuries if given enough time, especially if they're from a popular story. Given almost every child in the world has read Hansel and Gretel, that would give him a tremendous HealingFactor.
* {{Unishmet}}:
* UnskilledButStrong: The trio at the high school, due to never learning the rules of magic, are able to perform amazing skills of magic. The problem is they don't always know how to undo them or see the possible consequences of their actions.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** Samantha, the second Earth Fable created, who is a sapient fox that wears a blouse and talks but still walks on four legs, is badly hurt and still unconscious once Maddie and her students acquire
* WeakButSkilled:
* WouldHurtAChild: Hansel and [[spoiler: Feathertop.]]
* YearInsideHourOutside:
