* AngstWhatAngst: Isa says she left home-at a ridiculously young age. "Granny Lakkie" says more bluntly that she sent away Isa to keep the young woman safe, as it was becoming dangerous. [[StepfordSmiler Isa misses her home and grandmother deeply]], but she enjoys [[WalkingTheEarth travelling so much]], she's too busy to stop and be sad about it.



* AChatWithSatan: Part of how Tensei are born. Isa did this with Lilith-and Lucifer, due to [[OurSoulsAreDifferent shenanigans]].



* FemaleAngelMaleDemon: [[DefiedTrope defied]] and [[ZigZaggedTrope zig-zagged]]. There's demons and angels who are male, female and neither. With [[ThoseTwoGuys Isa and Cave's past lives]], it's inverted-she's the demon, he's the angel(ically aligned).



* HeroicAlbino: The Guardian, who is [[BullyingADragon teased and rejected for it]]. [[WhatAnIdiot This is a terrible idea]].



* IAmWho: Isa, Cave and a good section of Tensei who connect to reincarnations as a part of the awakening of their Personas.



* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: It sits somewhere in the middle-while terrible things have happened, terrors roam the land, life isn't hopeless nor pointless and people have and can change the world-and can and have failed to do so.


Added DiffLines:

* SkilledButNaive: Isa wants to believe the best of everyone. She is not however averse to beating the crap out of people who don't mean her well.

What do you get when you put ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'', WorldOfDarkness, ShinMegamiTensei, ‘’VideoGame/{{Persona}}’’ and other works in a blender? Goddess Reborn Chronicles, apparently. Based on the Storyteller/Storytelling system from White Wolf, Goddess Reborn began life when two friends planning a Nocturne roleplay realized both were working on a tabletop version of [[AffectionateNickname MegaTen]]. The main difference between the mainline series was [[ApocalypseHow the severity of apocalyptic damage to humanity and the earth]]. As development continued to show a [[{{Pokemon}} world where demons and humans lived side-by-side]], the translation became InNameOnly, thus the oblique name. [[WordOfGod One creator did this to]] [[PragmaticAdaptation enable multi-group stories]]. [[LighterAndSofter Although it isn’t as dark as its parent series]], its intention is to present both the main series and some of its shootoffs as a cohesive whole with inspirations from several other works.
