* BizarreSexualDimorphism: Ardent has blue skin, blue hair, pointy ears and a tail. His sister Gavia looks like a human although with very pale skin.
** It is implied that members of their species tend to look very different from one another. How much of this is sexual dimorphism and how much differs between members of the same gender has yet to be seen.

[[http://www.alicegrove.com Alice Grove]] is a webcomic by Jeph Jaques of ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'', focusing on a woman named [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Alice Grove]]. She's regarded as a "witch" by the locals, meaning she's highly respected and sometimes revered as a miracle worker. One day, after falling from a wind turbine she was working on, she's called to a nearby farm to deal with a strange occurrence; a nearly naked young man, with pointed ears, blue skin and a tail, has appeared in the field, fast asleep.

I\'m not bothering with spoiler tags because the comic is still in its first arc, just getting started with some exposition.


* DisproportionateRetribution: While Gavia intentionally avoided harming anyone with her fake "attack" on the town, she really did try to kill Alice, even as Alice was trying to negotiate, solely because she thought Alice looked scary. This was ''before'' Alice was revealed to be NighInvulnerable.

The explosion is timed comedically, and it\'s yet unknown where it happened, who was hurt, and what caused it. And the comic has yet to even establish a status quo, so it can hardly be called a Wham Episode when we\'re basically in episode 1.
