*AssholeVictim: The bullies who nearly drowned and/or mutilated Owen are the last people Abby will ever kill for human blood, and considering what they almost did to Owen she has no problem with killing them.
*BigBad: "Eternally Bonded" establishes the clear threat of Abby’s uncle, Jebediah, who turned his niece so that he could make her his ‘bride’.
*CreepyChild: As Abby spends more time with Owen and Oscar, the 'creepy' part is downplayed to make her just socially awkward.
*DarkAndTroubledPast: Various details are revealed about Abby’s past, including that she was turned by her uncle and was shot by her own father when she tried to go home after the attack (which also marked the moment she learned that she was now immortal). Abby also discusses her history with her past guardians, including how and why she chose them and how they died.
*EntitledToHaveYou: Jebediah wanted to make Abby his mate, despite the fact that they were biologically related and she was only twelve years old when he turned her.
*HappilyAdopted: It obviously can’t be legally ratified, but Oscar makes it clear more than once that he sees Abby as a granddaughter despite her chronological age, with Abby freely referring to him as ‘Grandpa’ in return.
*HandsOffParenting: Owen’s parents might come back together because of his disappearance, but the fact that they each in their way express relief that Owen is gone from their lives says it all about their ability to care for him.
*IncestantAdmirer: Abby’s uncle turned her to make her his mate and still has a twisted fixation on her that makes other people uncomfortable when he starts talking about his niece even when they don’t know about the vampire angle.
*[[LikeASonToMe Like a Granddaughter To Me]]: Abby freely refers to Oscar as ‘Grandpa’ and Oscar makes it clear that he reciprocates the sentiment despite Abby being at least a century Oscar’s senior.
*MustBeInvited: Owen and Abby use this against Jebediah during the confrontation with him, [[spoiler:forcing him inside their house where the lack of an invitation will affect Jebediah just as it initially hit Abby in the film]].
*OurVampiresAreDifferent: As well as the depicted need for an invitation, Abby reveals that she and other vampires like her are also vulnerable to silver, to the extent that a simple silver necklace is as heavy to Abby as thick chains. “Meeting of Monarchs” affirms that there are different types of vampire even in-universe depending on the circumstances of their creation, such as Barnabas lacking a reflection and being able to hypnotise others.
