* TheStationsOfTheCanon: Does a good job of mangling this to make the plot more interesting.[[spoiler: Louise only summons Alex [[spoiler: after the formal class, class]], the duel with Guiche involves [[spoiler: Kirche and other characters trying to kill him for being a plaguebearer etc.]]
* NoSocialSkills: Alex hasn't improved in this regard since the game.
* OutOfTheInferno: Guess who.
* PrecisionFStrike: [[spoiler: Siesta]] thinking 'Now she was quiet. She never spoke once on the way back, and the only sound she made was the soft inhale/exhale of breathing. And she never, ever smiled. Now she seemed hesitant and frightened and ''fuck Mott''.'
* PuffOfLogic: “I'm here, aren't I? I didn't just appear for no reason. You summoned me. With magic.” Mercer replied. “I think that disproves any delusions that you're not capable of magic. Because otherwise I'd be vanishing in a puff of contradictory logic right now, and you'd be plummeting to your death. Probably trying to grab ahold of nothing and watching as the ground rushed closer and closer with every second...”
* {{Pyromaniac}}: A lot of the soldiers Alex consumed loved explosions, which is affecting his thoughts too.

* KidWithTheLeash: Although Louise doesn't have anything like complete control over Alex, he'll defer to her if she asks nicely. He makes it clear that he'd rather be treated as a partner than a servant or a pet.

* MuggingTheMonster: A bunch of bandits see Louise and her "servant" walking alone at night down a blind alley, and think they'll be easy prey. They are disabused of this notion thoroughly when Louise' "servant" makes [[ImAHumanitarian easy prey]] of ''them''.
