History Webcomic / LeifAndThorn

* MultiethnicName: In both countries.
** Birch Baker, a Ceannic citizen whose family comes from Getsun, has a [[FloralThemeNaming mainstream Ceannic]] first name and a Getsunai last name
** Violet Dupont, of mixed ethnicity, has a first name from one ethnic group and a last name from the other
** Overlapping with LanguageDrift, the older vampires in Sønheim have first names, Imri and Stanczia, from a no-longer-extant culture. Their last name, Fågelson, is a mainstream modern Sønska name. This is because they were born before surnames were invented, and adopted one much later for legal purposes.

* TeensAreShort: Pointedly averted. Teenage Hyacinth is [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/family-dinner-414/ about half a head taller than her uncle]].

* HasTwoMommies: Thorn and his sister, thanks to expensive magic-based HomosexualReproduction. (Probably. The author hasn't ruled out any characters being transgender.)

* LawyerFriendlyCameo: With background characters, who get names in the transcripts like [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/leaves-that-are-green-1021/ not!]][[Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena Touga]], [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/vampire-masquerade-1066/ not!]][[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]], and [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/vampire-masquerade-1066/ not!]][[Literature/{{Twilight}} Bella]].

* CallASmeerpARabbit: Thorn's "cat" looks like a cross between a cat, a fox, and a blue [[Franchise/Pokemon Eeevee]].

* CallASmeerpARabbit: Thorn's "cat" looks like a cross between a cat, a fox, and a blue Eeevee.

* CoolSword: Thorn and his team are from the subset of knights that can draw heartswords, [[Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena Utena-esque]] magical weapons whose shapes reflect the owner's personality. They appear to be unmatched by any in-universe weapon besides other heartswords [[AnAxeToGrind and other soul-based weapons]].

* PowerIncontinence: The Woman in Black is an excellent secret agent because she's magically unmemorable. To everyone. Including her family and friends. [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/4koma-in-black-47-working-out-session/ Whether she wants to be or not.]]

And they're only the main characters in an [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters increasingly large cast]], all facing their own variations on figuring out how to communicate across cultural boundaries, deal with traumas and scars, use magic for practical solutions, and pick [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/summer-sunshine-3284/ just the right song for karaoke night]].

* EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped: When Katya [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/watching-over-me-2029/ signs too quickly for Thorn to keep up]], the attached dialogue box is mostly question marks.

* HasTwoMommies: Thorn and his sister, thanks to expensive magic-based HomosexualReproduction. (Probably. The author hasn't ruled out any characters being {{transgender}}.)

An LGBTQ fantasy webcomic by Creator/ErinPtah, [[http://leifandthorn.com/ Leif & Thorn]] shows that no matter the world, people are alike all over.

* HeroicAlbino: Pascentia, one of the knights, who also seems to be [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/sword-dancers-423/ good at everything]].

* TheMenInBlack: [[http://leifandthorn.com/character/woman-in-black/ the Woman in Black]] ([[WhatItSaysOnTheTin obviously]]). Rumors say there are multiple MiB types, but so far we've only see her.

* BallOfViolence: [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/sword-dancers-2223/ Lampshaded]].

* Elseworld: A few have been visited during [[SundayStrip Sunday strips]], including [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/vampire-hunter-thorn-1/ Vampire Hunter Thorn]] and [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/leif-thorn-in-space-1/ Leif & Thorn: IN SPACE!]]

* ShowWithinAShow: Multiple sequences from from Hedge & Grassie, a sitcom Thorn is a fan of. Other referenced properties include Leachtric (musical), The Holger Saga (literature), Pretty Combat Mountaineer Geirskögul and Magical Storm Rune Svanhvit (magical-girl comics).
