* LanternJawOfJustice: Subverted for Hope, who firmly sets her jaw when she hears about the struggles ahead to promote the Hope Accord, but can't really pull off the look.
--> She didn't have the sort of jaw that was designed to be thrust out stubbornly. With some people, this expression made them look implacable and unyielding. With Hope, it made her look utterly adorable, like a tiny, fluffy kitten facing off against a bulldog and refusing to back down.

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Hope, despite being aromantic, asexual and lacking in the necessary equipment can elicit attraction in just about anyone. [[spoiler: Once she and Amy fix Noelle and she generates a Hope clone, she's even moreso; the author explains that as Hope is a GURPS character, she has talents make her incredibly attractive and that normalises and averages out that attractiveness between both genders and sexualities. The clone, who has something of Noelle in her as well, lacks the latter ability, so she's ''more'' attractive to those who would naturally feel that way, including Sundancer it would seem. The original is also the object of affection for both Amy and eventually ''the canonically also asexual Lisa''.]]

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Almost nothing can stick to Hope's skin, so after a fight, she doesn't have any grime, sweat or blood on her. Her version of heavy perspiration is that she exudes the scent of jasmine. Weld notes that that could actually cause her problems sometimes, since it can give people the impression that she never needs any help.

* {{Orgasmatron}}: Hope lacks any of the necessary biology to feel sexual arousal or pleasure, but Amy's power can make her experience it anyway. Despite Hope insisting that she has no need for it, not being equipped to miss it, she does enjoy it -- and just as importantly, she sees that it means a lot to Amy to have that kind of relationship. (The relevant scenes are among those that were deleted from Sufficient Velocity, leaving chapter 59 only a page long.)

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: At Amy's lowest point, having hurt Vicky and then been utterly rejected by her, Amy encounters Hope -- who looks even more like an angel than Vicky does, gives Amy unconditional love, and accepts all of Amy's feelings. Amy quickly becomes very attached and dependent on her, [[spoiler:to the point where having Hope snatched away by Noelle, right in front of her, puts Amy through a second Trigger,]] but since it's doing good things for Amy's mental health and wellbeing, Hope is happy with it.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Vicky is taken aback when Hope points out that she and her family are not without a share of fault in Amy's breakdown, that Amy did a very wrong thing (by altering her brain chemistry) but was also under serious pressure from them that they haven't properly acknowledged (such as their lack of compassion and understanding about her prior decision to claim that she can't affect brains, and the fact that Glory Girl's aura quite possibly caused Amy's fixation in the first place).

Her body is tougher than a regular human, and her crystalline wings are almost entirely bulletproof, as well as giving her extra options in a fight. She's strong enough to lift half a ton, and has an assortment of other powers like instant comprehension of language, sensing the location of intelligent minds, and HealingHands.
