* BadPowersBadPeople: To an extent. One thing that is repeated multiple times is that Talents are a part of a person, and that person wants to use them. People with violent Talents therefore have to struggle to find a place to use them without becoming a serial killer. Many of them join the Hunter's Guild where they can use their powers on monsters, but Penelope and Vita both admit that they sometimes dream of just going on a rampage through the city. Because that's what their powers are ''for''.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Penelope slowly falls in love with Vita because Vita is the only person who understands what it's like to sometimes dream about using your Talent to kill everyone in the city. Vita also notices that Penelope's soul tends to get rather hot and bothered whenever Vita does something especially ruthless.

She starts shaping Vita into a more "conventionally attractive" shape, though in fairness, a large part of that is imply reversing the damage from sixteen years of literal starvation. The rest of the team is horrified when they hear about this, but Vita is mostly just annoyed that Penelope assumed she would be too stupid to agree to such an advantage. [[spoiler:Penelope also experiments on Vita's siblings, starting the process of giving one extra-tough bones, another impossibly bendy joints, another ''extra hearts''...]] It will take time to bear fruit, but once it does she intends to add the improvements to herself and Vita.
