In addition to the politics of witches to begin with, there's the continuing support of the Nac Mac Feegle, and a mysterious force known as a hiver which is drawn to Tiffany's power, and it'll take all the effort of the Feegles, all the cunning of Granny Weatherwax, and all of Tiffany's own strength, to outwit it...

* [[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 aideaid.
* [[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".

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The hiver has been around practically since the universe began. It was aware of everything at once in its natural form. The universe was a ''much'' smaller place back then, but the hiver ''still sees and hears everything.'' This is, suffice to say, traumatic, and so it [[Grand Theft Me|hops into living minds.]] It gains some degree of insulation against the quantity of the universe, and in exchange it allows its victim to essentially act as pure id. 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, [[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 HaveNeed to Go Iron My Dog]]: When Roland comes to see Tiffany off, Miss Tick mentions seeing a very nice example of a...big stone.
* [[Fancy French Name|It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"]] : Mrs Earwig - sorry, Ahwij.
* [[Like a Weasel]]: Petulia does this out of crippling shyness.
* [[Man in a Kilt]]: All the male Feegles.
