Poor Communication Kills
 A Little Vice / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: One of the many contributing factors to C snapping and giving in to the Seed of Envy was the realization that the Saints never bothered to tell her that Temperance, their friend and teammate, was originally Gula Shark, a monster who'd kidnapped and threatened C several times.

Would Not Shoot a Civilian: All Beasts but Superbia Dragon have shown a desire to minimize damage to regular humans. Avaritia Wolf picks Invidia Bat to help with it, as Gula Shark, her previous advisor, defected and became Saint Temperantia.

In the Name of the Moon: We only see it on the first chapter, but presumably the Angelic Saints say it every time they appear. Also, after C becomes Invidia Bat for the first time, she also has one:

Minion with an F in Evil
 A Little Vice / int_35f57671
comment
Minion with an F in Evil: Invidia is terrifying in combat in some ways, but she is terrible at bringing herself to do anything so much as mildly inconsiderate of someone else. Avaritia Wolf to a lesser extent. Ey are more willing to hurt people on purpose, but ey're driven by ideals which sound virtuous to most everyone else (which she tries to describe as greedy after the fact).

Defector from Decadence
 A Little Vice / int_38f1a7ed
comment
Defector from Decadence: Saint Temperantia/Temperance was formerly Gula Shark, the Abyssal Beast of Gluttony. Avaritia Wolf believes that the Abyssal Beasts themselves are defectors from the overly oppressive and regimented society they and Michael originate from.

Transparent Closet
 A Little Vice / int_460ffa29
comment
Transparent Closet: Literally everybody (except Superbia, C's dad, and maybe Ida) figures out C is transgender without C so much as acknowledging the possibility. Gets egregious to the point of breaking Avaritia's brain a little when the Seed of Envy physically transforms her into a woman and she insists it's still an envy thing and she can't "really" be trans.

You Have Failed Me: Superbia Dragon is not shy with threats and emotional abuse against his extremely limited number of direct minions, and outright attacks Avaritia after she takes the blame for Invidia warning the Saints about the Sprout of Sloth.

Trans Tribulations: Multiple characters in the story are transgender. C struggles with self loathing and not thinking they're truly trans, Lupin and Temperance ran away from a repressive society and went on to live under the transphobic Superbia. C, upon becoming Invidia Bat, also lives in his castle..

Psycho Psychologist: Big Bad Superbia Dragon starts the story masquerading as the school guidance counselor, Mr. Noir. This isn't a spoiler, because Mr. Noir is the worst therapist since Souji Mikage, and has much the same MO.

Brought Down to Normal: Inessa loses the ability to transform into Saint Castitas after Invidia Bat seems to consider killing her. Predictably, the protagonist also loses the powers granted by the Seed of Envy once she lets her friendship with Inessa back into her heart.

Armor-Piercing Question

Armor-Piercing Question: The climactic duel between Invidia and Castitas is, effectively, a series of these aimed at Invidia's reasons for hating herself and excuses for why she can't be redeemed. That, and a lot of fire arrows.

Weirdness Censor: The magical beings of this story employ a particularly powerful one, as it seems psychologically impossible for anyone to make the connection between a Saint or an Abyssal Beast and their civilian identity without being directly told they are the same person by someone who already knows, or otherwise seeing irrefutable evidence, like Saint Castitas using Inessa's exclusive nickname for the protagonist in the backstory.

Angst: Like some other magical girl web original stories, this is a tale about the inner journey of a deeply troubled adolescent, deliberately contrasted against the high drama and good-versus-evil plot of a children's cartoon, rather than being focused on the latter.
