10	----
11	!!Includes examples of:
12	* {{Animorphism}}:
13	** Callie, a nekomata witch, is able to transform herself into either a CatGirl or a small pet cat, with her nature as a HalfHumanHybrid meaning that she can never appear completely human nor completely like a nekomata.
14	** Olive, a vampire, is able to transform between a tiny white bat and a human form at will.
15	** Louie, a werewolf, can transform from a wolf to a humanoid with pointy ears at will rather than just under a full moon.
16	* BetaCouple: Despite the series being named after Christy's dragon girlfriend Dani, later volumes start examining the relationships of their close friends, primarily Callie/Olive and Casey/Louie.
17	* BilingualBonus: In one page when Christy has her mother on the phone, she calls her "anak", which means "child" in many Malayo-Polynesian languages.
18	* TheCasanova: Callie is a rare queer female example.
19	* CastFullOfGay: Casey maintained that she was the only straight member of the main cast, but [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/my-dragon-girlfriend/pg-429/viewer?title_no=162918&episode_no=468 even that didn't last]].
20	* CatGirl: Witches in this universe are Cryptid-Human hybrids, Callie being part-nekomata.
21	* CatUpATree: Fittingly, Callie flees up a tree and gets stuck when she gets startled by the scent of a werewolf.
22	* ClosetKey: Casey, Christy's roommate, sincerely believed that she was straight up until she saw Louie transform from her werewolf to humanoid form, at which point a gauge appears to show her shift in sexuality.
23	* CompanionCube: Casey is addicted to collecting lawn gnomes and using them to prank Christy, to the point that she's broken up over having to give one away despite having twenty others at home.
24	* FireBreathingDiner: At the cryptid bar when Christy downs a vodka with a cockatrice's feather in it, flames erupt from her mouth.
25	* HalfHumanHybrid: Witches are a hybrid between humans and cryptids, with Callie being half-nekomata.
26	%%Why is this an example?%%* ImprobablyFemaleCast: A pretty clear example of Case 3.
27	* InsecureLoveInterest: Olive has clear romantic feelings for Callie, and Callie reciprocates. However, due to Olive being a ShrinkingViolet and Callie being TheCasanova, Olive constantly frets that Callie doesn't actually see her as more than a "fling" that can't give Callie the same passion that other girls could.
28	* LesbianVampire: Olive fits the technical definition, although she's more of an inversion of the trope, with a personality closer to ShrinkingViolet.
29	* LovePotion: The StoryArc of Volume 3 has Callie convince the other girls to take her into a cryptid-exclusive forest in order to sell these, specifying that they're mainly confidence boosters that help people admit their true feelings and can't just spontaneously create attraction from nothing.
30	* MagicVersusScience: Towards the end of Volume 3, the cryptids in the main cast are more than a little concerned when Casey is somehow able to navigate their way out of the magically-kept-secret Feral Forest just by pulling up Google Maps on her phone.
31	* TheMissusAndTheEx: Dani tries to avoid this situation when her ex Cynthia shows up at the cryptid bar, but the latter ends up in a standoff with Christy.
32	* PoorCommunicationKills: In Volume 3, Louie the werewolf attacks Dani and kidnaps Casey because, after being accidentally exposed to a LovePotion and falling for Casey, she confused Casey's disdain at being a third wheel and not having fun during their forest adventure for genuine distress, and thus attempted a RescueRomance. As soon as Casey learns this, she demands that Louie return her and apologize to her friends.
33	* RescueRomance: Christy and Dani first met after Dani decided to step in and scare off the creep Christy was on a date with who couldn't take "no" for an answer and tried to force Christy to go home with him.
34	* RunningOverThePlot: Volume 3 ends with Louie the werewolf getting hit by a car on their way back to the forest, with Volume 4 mainly focusing on the other girls helping her recover and Casey starting to connect with her.
35	* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: All cases of VoluntaryShapeshifting excludes clothes; some characters shrink out of their outfits, while others tear them to shreds as they grow. When a comic page has to be censored for distribution, the character is depicted in just their underwear with a note that states they're supposed to be naked.
36	* ShoutOut:
37	** When a cat (actually Callie in cat form) follows Christy back to her and Casey's apartment, Christy suggests naming her Jiji, the name of Kiki's cat from ''Anime/KikisDeliveryService''.
38	** The name of Christy's workplace, "Soy Long, Thx for the Beans", references ''Literature/SoLongAndThanksForAllTheFish''.
39	* ShrinkingViolet: Olive is painfully shy, and struggles to admit her feelings for Callie.
40	* VampiricDraining:
41	** Olive, being an actual vampire, sometimes has fits of extreme bloodthirst that she can only sate by biting into Callie. Callie is actually turned on by this, but often ends up with blood spurting from her neck afterwards.
42	** A flashback dream in Volume 3 reveals that Callie used to be in a passionate relationship with a succubus, but whenever they were intimate, the succubus couldn't control her instincts and started draining Callie's magic. Callie didn't mind this either, as witches have an excess of magical power, but the dream ends with Callie's skin being scarred as a result.
43	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Several of the cryptids can switch to more human forms.
44	* WeaknessIsJustAStateOfMind: In issue 666, Dani, already contemptuous of Louie, gets angry when Louie runs out of strength to maintain her wolf form, despite Louie's best afforts.
