Time has rolled on and Tiffany Aching has grown older and cleverer, but perhaps not more sensible.

* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Annagramma. As stereotypical as any character gets in the Discworld.
* [[And I Must Scream]]: Tiffany is still aware, and is trapped in her own mind while the Hiver is possessing her. She manages to retain some control over herself, but was weakening before the Feegles came to her
* [[Battle in the Center of the Mind]]: Tiffany fights to reclaim her own mind.
* [[Character Filibuster]]: Granny Weatherwax's rant about how "the soul and center" of witchcraft is "helpin' people when life is on the edge".
* [[Close-Knit Community]]: The Chalk. Tiffany mentions they always look after each other because her grandmother expected it.

It is better at being you than you are.
* [[Evil Costume Switch]]: When Tiffany is possessed by the Hiver, she's inspired to raid the local witch shop, buy a cape, a tall hat, and several pieces of occult jewelry.
* [[Fancy French Name|It Is Pronounced Tro-PAY]] : Mrs Earwig - sorry, Ahwij.▼
▲* [[Foreshadowing]]: ''When I am old, [[Discworld/I Shall Wear Midnight|I Shall Wear Midnight]].''
* [[Geas]]: Rob Anybody is put under a Geas by his wife Jeannie to protect Tiffany Aching. It becomes a [[Running Gag]] that Daft Wullie keeps thinking Rob means an actual goose. Of course as Sourcery points out, there are actual birds named geas on Discworld.
* [[I
* [[Like a Weasel]]: Petulia does this out of crippling shyness.
* [[Man in a Kilt]]: All the male Feegles.
