* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Most of the female cast in the series. In the original trilogy Tally and Shay are both OneOfTheBoys and are each other’s only female friends. Their only real feminine traits are that they are both a little bit boy crazy and they appreciate romance and the fact that Tally in particular is a bit obsessed with beauty. In Extras, Aya is a Tomboy except for the fact that she is obsessed with fame, celebrities and gossip. Eden Maru is a glamorous sports star. Some of the Sly Girls like Miki may qualify. Although Jai/Kai/Lai seems to be more of a Ladette.

* TheNotLoveInterest: Tally and Shay have this relationship to an unbelievable degree. It’s almost like StarCrossedLovers mixed with HeterosexualLifePartners. Tally implies that she had this relationship with Peris prior to his operation.

* SanityBall: The inverse. Throughout the entire trilogy most of the main characters are suffering from Mind Control or Brainwashing and there are only one or two characters who aren’t. Who those one or two characters are changes throughout the books. Averted in Extras, because [[spoiler: at this point Tally has set everyone free.]]
