Line 22:
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: Hotspur again and Flora to some extent
* [[Exalted Torturer]]: Butcher Brakespeare, Califa's greatest war criminal and {{spoiler|a sympathetic character in the second book who claims to have had good reason for everything she did}}.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Udo
* [[Fetish Fuel]]: Everyone in Califa wears skirts. Every man woman and child. From school children to soldiers and even [[The Warlord]]. There is not a pair of pants in the country.
** Cosmetics and fancy do's are also common for both sexes
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Flora herself, for starters. Hotspur and General Haðraaða Segunda/Butcher Brakespeare/Azota/whatever you want to call her, as well.
* [[Green-Eyed Epiphany]]: Flora doesn't show much romantic interest in Udo... until he hooks up with The Zu Zu.
* [[Happily Adopted]]: {{spoiler|Flora herself, once she finds out that Butcher Brakespere was her real mother. Despite knowing that her Mamma isn't her mother, she knows Mamma will always be her Mamma, no matter what.}}
* [[Has Two Mommies]]: Udo has three dads, though one's dead; his mother couldn't decide which of her triplet suitors to marry, [[Tenchi Solution|so she married all of them]].
** Also {{spoiler|Flora's biological mom is not actually Buck but she will always be her "Mamma"}}
* [[
* [[In Which a Trope Is Described]]: Both the title, "Flora Segunda: Being the Magickal Mishaps of a Girl of Spirit, Her Glass-Gazing Sidekick, Two ominous Butlers (one Blue), a House with Eleven Thousand Rooms, and a Red Dog." and the chapter headings:
{{quote|"Mamma. Sleeping Late. An Overdue Library Book. The Elevator."
Line 63:
* [[Never Found the Body]]: Butcher Brakespeare (or whatever name you want to call her by). Supposedly this is because the Huitzils ate her, but...
* [[Normally I Would Be Dead Now]]: {{spoiler|Flora's dare}}
* [[People's Republic of Tyranny]]: The so-called Republic of Califa was never democratic as far as we can tell. Before the Warlord conquered it and turned it into a military dictatorship, it was under the seemingly just as oppressive control of the Pontifexa. Any truly republican origins before this have not yet been revealed by the author.
* [[Persecution Flip]]: The Califans, who seem mostly European-flavored despite a few Latin American cultural elements (and being native to pseudo-California), have been defeated and are controlled by the pseudo-Aztec Huitzils. One of the cases where the brutality of the now-in-power group may lend itself to [[Unfortunate Implications]] -- the Huitzils seem to be [[Always Chaotic Evil]] and literally [[Eats Babies|baby-eating]] (well, [[I'm a Humanitarian|people-eating]], really).
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Flora when Buck is away -- though she's the youngest child; the one she's parenting is actually her dad. Udo also seems to be left alone with his many, many younger siblings a lot.
