History Webcomic / TheWeave

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: More like, several thousands of years old; [[spoiler:Xenia Maes]], who is called "the Grey Goddess" or "the Night Lady" by some. Of course, it's entirely possible that other fairies are also OlderThanTheyLook, but with her, it gets specific mention.

* AmbiguouslyBi: When meeting Emil, Tally is clearly smitten by him, but she also doesn't seem to be immune to Ruby's flirting. Later she calls Emil "the guy she likes", but also [[spoiler:confirms towards Alice that she knows she likes girls since she was thirteen.]]

* YuriGenre: Kitty and Luna are together, Delia picks up a [[StatuesqueStunner leggy beauty]] at the gym, Ruby and Alice had something in the past, and present, Ruby and Tally have some sparks between them.

* MagicalSociety: The fairies exist as long as humans do, and have always lived parallel to them. Many of them walk through the human world everyday without being recognized. Then there's the Changeling community which is somewhere on the edge betwixt, consisting of the children fairies had with human spouses.
* TheMarvelousDeer: A mysterious ghost doe keeps appearing to Tally. [[spoiler:She leads her away from a werewolf who chases her, and through a portal into the fairy world, but also back home. The doe might be a manifestation of Tally's powers; as of now, Tally has white hair herself and is said to be able to wander between the worlds, and at least one person has called her "fawn".]]

* OurFairiesAreDifferent: The fairies are human-sized, very beautiful, pointy-eared, don't have wings (in default mode at least), can have unusual eye or hair colors and some non-human features (at least one of them has been seen with antlers), and all of them are capable of doing magic in some way, i. e. [[VoluntaryShapeshifting transform themselves]]. They are definitely ''not'' the sunny, wish-fulfilling sort of fairies, but more likely the sort of people who'd abduct you and leave you lost in the deep dark woods.

* AmbiguouslyBi: When meeting Emil, Tally is clearly smitten by him, but she also doesn't seem to be immune to Ruby's flirting.

* FantasticRacism: The ladies of the fairy court make their contempt for Tally pretty clear.

* HalfHumanHybrid: Apparently, offspring of a fairy and a human is sort of common; those children are called Changelings.[[spoiler:Tally is one, and so are Kitty and her little sister.]]

* TheMarvelousDeer: A mysterious ghost doe keeps appearing to Tally. [[spoiler:She leads her away from a werewolf who chases her, and through a portal into the fairy world, but also back home. The doe might be a manifestation of Tally's powers; as of now, Tally has white hair herself and is said to be able to wander between the worlds.]]

* OurFairiesAreDifferent: The fairies are human-sized, very beautiful, pointy-eared, don't have wings (in default mode at least), can have unusual eye or hair colors and some non-human features (tát least one of them has been seen with antlers), and all of them are capable of doing magic in some way, i. e. [[VoluntaryShapeshifting transform themselves]].

* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Tally has been seen wearing two different purple dresses for the bigger part of the comic so far, and she is definitely a feminine, girlish sort of girl.

* HumanMomNonhumanDad: It seems to be statistically more likely for male fairies to hook up with humans and produce children with them; both Changeling families introduced have human mothers and thus inherited their fairy features from their ([[ParentalAbandonment absent]]) fathers.

* ClaimedByTheSupernatural: After the dying murder victim touches her injured hand, Tally's wound heals and she gets a strange flower-shaped mark in place of it. [[spoiler:It's Rhiannon's sign that connects her and Tally, making it possible for Rhiannon's ghost to communicate with her. Emil has a similar mark on his chest, explaining that he is "bound, too".]]

* TheMarvelousDeer: A mysterious ghost doe keeps appearing to Tally. [[spoiler:She leads her away from a werewolf who haunts her, and through a portal into the fairy world, but also back home. The doe might be a metaphorical manifestation of Tally's powers; as of now, Tally has white hair herself and is said to be able to wander between the worlds.]]
* MuggleBestFriend: Delia Perlman, Tally's best friend and neighbor (and daughter of Tally's landslord), a fairly common NiceGirl. [[spoiler:That is, until she turns out to always have known everything about fairies. She knew what Tally was even when Tally herself didn't know.]]

* ShoutOut: To familiarize with fairy rules, Tally claimes to have watched ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'' ten million times.

* AngerBornOfWorry: After Tally witnessed a murder, then disappeared for a while without a trace and then shows up again with some weird changes about her, Delia takes to shouting at her for a while, but soon makes it clear that she was going crazy with worry.

* OrphansPlotTrinket: Tally has the traditional locket, one half of whoch containing a miniature map that marks her original home, the other half a photo of baby Tally with her parents... except her father's face is strangely blurry.

* RebelPrince: Emil Ahriman, the Prince of the House of the Winged Serpent... who has a long record of petty crimes, plays with his magic in public places, and generally won't do what his family wants him to. [[spoiler:JustifiedTrope though, as he's not expected or even allowed to inherit any power or prestige, [[EvilMatriarch his mother]] emotionally abused him, and she also [[ArrangedMarriage forced him into marriage. By now, Emil is kind of a mess.]]

* PowerDyesYourHair: Tally starts out as a blonde with brown eyes; after her stay in the fairy world and contact with magic, herr hair [[MysticalWhiteHair bleaches out to pure white]], and her eyes turn [[PurpleEyes purple]].

* YuriGenre: Kitty and Luna are together, Delia picks up a [[StatuesqueStunner leggy beauty]] at the gym, Ruby and Alice had something in the past, and present, Ruby and Tally have some sparks between them.
* VengefulGhost: Rhiannon, the fairy who got murdered, has become this. Getting killed apparently has somewhat [[AxCrazy eaten away at her sanity]].

* TheHecateSisters

* ParentalAbandonment: Apparently, Tally's father just loaded her off at her aunt's when she was 10 years old, then [[DisappearedDad went lost]]. It's not even known what happened to [[MissingMom her mother]].

Protagonist is Tally Llewellyn, an unlucky young woman who's been in search for a job ever since she lost her college tuition. She's made it so far with the help of her friends and the aunt who raised her, but it's clear that things can't go on like that. When she's offered to start on short notice as a waitress, Tally happily jumps at the opportunity -- only to witness a murder under strange circumstances on her first working day. Suddenly she has strange visions, supernatural things happen around her, and people she supposed were human bring her to [[TheFairFolk a court of fairies]] where some people are desperately trying to find out what happened, whereas others sure would be interested in keeping the only witness quiet.

* {{Adorkable}}: Tally is clumsy, babbles when she's nervous, and is a total {{Moe}} on top of it.

* ClaimedByTheSupernatural: After the dying murder victim touches her injured hand, Tally's wound heals and she gets a strange flower-shaped mark in place of it. [[spoiler:Emil has a similar mark on his chest, explaining that he is "bound, too".]]
* EmbarrassingFirstName: It's ''Taliesin'' Llewellyn. Might turn out to be a MeaningfulName, too.

* GenreSavvy: Tally claims to be this, because she reads a lot of corny novels... but then, she tells a fairy her True Name.
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:Tally]] is apparently the offspring of a fairy and a human.
* MuggleBestFriend: Delia Perlman, Tally's best friend and neighbor (and daughter to Tally's landslord), a fairly common NiceGirl.
