* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Caietanus.]]

* BlessedWithSuck: Asha.

* [[spoiler:CompleteImmortality: Asha does not age, or die.]]
* DamselInDistress: Asha.
* [[spoiler: DeathByIrony]]
* [[spoiler: DeathByMaterialism: Goes hand-in-hand with the above trope.]]

* EmbodimentOfVice: Grete, unsurprisingly.
* EmptyShell: Asha has shades of this.

* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Jacquotte.
** TheLancer: Primarily Grete, though Bron also serves in this capacity.
** TheSmartGuy: Either Sly or Grete, interchangeably.
** TheBigGuy: Bron.
** TheChick: Lyall.

* HoYay: Possibly one-sided between Balthazar and Caietanus. Some of Balthazar's lyrical musings about the Prince could be construed as...suggestive. Overlaps with FoeYay.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Lyall.
* IncompatibleOrientation: Lyall and Jacquotte. [[spoiler:When Lyall wishes to be attractive, to her, he's turned into a woman.]]

* [[spoiler:KindRestraints: Asha put herself in captivity, with the aid of her once-beau, Willem.]]
* LadyOfAdventure: Jacquotte.
* LesYay: Apart from the obvious, between Jacquotte and Asha, there's a bit between Asha and Bron, as well.

* LoopholeAbuse: Naturally.
* ManipulativeBastard: Balthazar, though it's mostly off-screen.
* MeaningfulName: The four other members of the Quintet all have names that identify a key personality trait: Grete is greedy, Bron is brawny, Lyall is loyal, and Sly is...well, sly.

* [[spoiler:PowerDegeneration: Every wish Asha grants causes her extreme, potentially deadly, pain. However, since she's also cursed with CompleteImmortality, it just hurts like she's dying.]]

* [[spoiler:PyrrhicVictory: Leads to the DownerEnding.]]

* [[spoiler:ThrownDownAWell: Where Asha is found.]]

* UnresolvedSexualTension
