    Book 1: Wearing the Cape 

  • Shelly's first appearance has her wearing the Fun T-Shirt "I killed myself origin chasing and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."

    Book 7: Ronin Games 

  • Ozma creates transformation rings for herself, Artemis and Astra to effectively become magical girls, shifting between a super-form and a civilian ID that are both Japanese in appearance. But because the civilian costuming hadn't been done yet, the first "power-down" test leaves all three standing naked, which Astra had not been told would happen.
    ARTEMIS: Well, that would be fun at some parties.
  • Shelly spends most of the book as a magical talking cat. The Japanese security agent notes that while most of their team is rather odd for Japanese capes, that is pretty standard.
  • In the promise game, what is Kitsune's demand of Hope? "Marry me."

    Book 8: Team-Ups and Crossovers 

  • Right before Hope finally goes home, Shell mentions that her parents met Kitsune, and they have a lot of questions about their daughter's fiance who she never mentioned. Hope wonders if maybe she can wait a few more days.

    Book 9: Recursion 

  • Hope's mom finds out about her husband.
    Anne Marie: Is he Catholic?
    Hope: He's a Shinto kami, so probably not?
    Anne Marie: No church, then. But he will be coming to Sunday dinner.

    Book 10: Repercussions 

  • Shell has taken to wearing the drone-transformed-into-a-talking-cat body on a regular basis. When Grendel asks how that works, Ozma says simply "possession is nine-tenths of the law." Hope falls out of her chair laughing.
  • After a deep and meaningful story explaining to Hope why he loves her despite her canceling his oath, Kitsune then tells a random joke about Harry Houdini's death.
