* DeadpanSnarker: All the main characters except Doren are this regularly. Lita very often snarks on the situations they are placed in, with Adrian doing the same alongside her much of the time. For her part, Seri Kesu tends to show a sassier side when there's opposition.

* NominalImportance: Zigzagged. All the villagers in Lita's hometown are given names, with unique character portraits as well. As time goes on, more generic names like "man" or "woman" are used instead. Possibly justified in that Lita would know the name of the villagers in Aloria but not of far off locations.
