to:

* {{Foil}}: The writer said he deliberately made the characters each other exact opposite: Wes is a white boy who was good at making people mad with his finger gun due to his anger at his workaholic dad and trying to get some excitement in his life; Sadie is a Latina girl who uses her finger gun to calm her abusive father and keep the peace.
* TheIllegal: Further complicating Sadie's situation is that her mother is doesn't qualify for citizenship yet, thus reporting her dad to the police could get her deported.
* {{Jerkass}}: Sadie's father Enzo, who is a raging asshole who abuses Sadie's mother and sometimes Sadie herself. Sadie was previously using her power on him to calm him down, but over time he's built a resistance. [[spoiler: Sadie even thinks that he's planning on killing her mom for the life insurance.]]
* MeaningfulName: Sadie's mother explain she gave her the name of Saudade, because she feels Sadie is the thing she's been missing all her life.
* MissingMom: Wes's mother died sometime before the events of the series by suicide, or so everyone thinks.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Mr. Country, the school's guidance consolor who's regularly meets with Wes and Sadie and [[spoiler: is the first person Wes tells about Sadie's abusive dad.]]
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Wes's dad is always away on business and is never home, leaving Wes to bond with the neighborhood dog. He seems like a good father otherwise.

!!This comic book uses the following tropes:tropes:

* AbusiveParents: Sadie's father is abusive to both her and her mother.
* EmotionBomb: The finger gun ability that the kids have. Two fingers (the ring and middle finger) together can make someone angry, pointing just one (ring finger) can calm them down. Wes is good at the first ability, Sadie is good with latter. [[spoiler: Crossing the middle and ring finger can apparently either make someone brave and/or make them feel good about themselves.]]
* FingerGun: Natch, though the gesture isn't used in jest. The finger guns can control people's emotions.
* {{Fingore}}: [[spoiler: The end of issue #4 sees Sadie get her finger slammed in the door, cutting it completely off.]]
