- Education Mama: Erwin's father is a male example, apparently only caring about his daughter's grades.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Mitchell has recurring anger issues.
- It's All About Me: Mitchell ends up coming off as self-centered when he meets with Mr. Thompson, not fully aware of how his actions might pose problems for integrating boys into tankery. He also initially seems more worried about whether he will continue to be able to play lacrosse than about the two boys he injured.
- Parent with New Paramour: Riko's mother marries a man named Frank not long after her husband's death.
- Ungrateful Bastard: Mitchell is in such a bad mood after the lacrosse game that he doesn't even thank the police officer who gives him a ride home. The officer calls him out on it."Hey, kid. I know you're upset but I'm serious when I say you should be bloody grateful that you got off as lightly as you did. You could have killed that boy out there. And when someone gives you a drive, you say thank you."
