She thus refuses to let Star deny her the chance to be with Danny, which Misty believes will give her the happy, prosperous life she's always wanted.

* MotiveRant: When a captive Star wonders why she is doing this, Misty goes on an angry tirade about how Star has everything and could never understand what she has to endure growing up lower-middle class with a controlling EducationMama, an [[DisappearedDad absent father]], and [[FriendlessBackground no friends]]. She thus refuses to let Star deny her the chance to be with Danny, which Misty believes will give her the happy, prosperous life she's always wanted.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Danny comes to Misty's defense when he sees her being falsely accused of shoplifting. This random act of kindness ends up gaining him another unwanted admirer and an adversary with magical powers.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Danny and Star give one to Shi when Misty casts a spell to freeze him in time for 60 seconds.
* SomethingWeForgot: In the last chapter, Danny has a feeling they forgot something until he remembers the spell book, wondering what happened to it. Star doesn't recall seeing it again after Shi was turned into wood and assumes the book shared his fate (unaware that Misty secretly recovered it).
* ShoutOut:
** Misty is accused of stealing ''Cryptid Clash!'' cards at the swap meet.
** To ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. When Mei says Misty's "being jealous over a boy", Max corrects her by pointing out the difference between jealousy and envy and Mei, upon reading the two words in a dictionary, admits "he's right". This is a reference to the ''Simpsons'' episode "Covercraft" where Homer responds to an accusation of being jealous of Apu in a similar fashion and Lisa confirms it upon consulting a dictionary.
* TearsOfRemorse: Misty sheds these when she realizes how wrong she was about Star and that trying to hurt the latter will never earn her Danny's love.
* UngratefulBitch: Even after Star helped saved her life from Shi, it ultimately doesn't change anything for Misty and she even accuses Star of still playing tricks.
* UnwittingPawn: Shi manipulates Misty into kidnapping Star so he can use her for a ritual to bring back Meilin, and preparing a special sauce that will free him from her control by lying that it will instead prove her feelings to Danny.
* VillainHasAPoint: Even though Shi doesn't care, he still points out Misty's refusal to hurt Star is weak since she's trying to scare her into leaving Amity Park and steal her boyfriend.
* WholePlotReference: This fic uses the same plot and borrows several aspects of Sadira's debut episode in ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries''.
