* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: The show conveniently expects you to forget that Bo went on a spree of murder and arguable rape for about ten years, valuing her own survival over the lives of others in the process, every time she gets mad about Fae killing humans, getting away with murder and gives a speech about right and wrong. However, in "Raging Fae" she is confronted by the sister of the first person she ever killed and is shown to be still very guilty over that.
