| Beachwalker | comment |
A novella just over 30,000 words long, Beachwalker follows the struggles of a cast of nameless characters as they work to survive in a war-torn and earthquake-rattled country. Deliberately ambiguous and surreal, the novella focuses mostly on the inner struggles of the protagonist as she fights for her patient's life, though external, physical danger is never far away."Beachwalker" is Stephanie O'Brien's first published work, having been made available on Amazon's Kindle in 2012. | |

Heroic BSoD | |
| Beachwalker / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic B.S.O.D.: The Starfish's death, combined with her own bullet wound and resulting illness, leave the Beachwalker barely functional by the end of the book. | |

Defrosting Ice Queen | |
| Beachwalker / int_28c1d543 | comment |
Defrosting Ice Queen: The Beachwalker, while generally gentle with those around her, is very careful to keep them at arms' length. She does not need anyone to give her emotional support, to be there for her, or to comfort her in any way. Until she gets shot and finds out she does. | |

Badass in Distress | |
| Beachwalker / int_4631e81f | comment |
Badass in Distress: The Sea Monster/Starfish starts the book tied to a chair, half-starved, horribly injured, and with a freshly killed opponent at his feet. He only gets more distressed from there. | |

Heroic Fatigue | |
| Beachwalker / int_4ccdcfce | comment |
Heroic Fatigue: The Beachwalker's tendency to give unreservedly and refuse to receive anything in return begins to catch up with her partway through the book, especially after she's shot. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality | |
| Beachwalker / int_7335ffa9 | comment |
Grey and Gray Morality: The soldiers treated Sea monster/Starfish horribly, but they also help the Beachwalker and the Shopkeeper to set their shop back in order after the earthquake, and their medic is shown to have objected to their harsh interrogation methods. On the rebels' side, the Starfish himself does his best to look out for the Beachwalker despite his wounded state, and after he dies, one of his comrades temporarily reconciles with the aforementioned medic to help bury him. All in all, the story avoids lionizing or demonizing either side of the conflict. | |

Comforting Comforter | |
| Beachwalker / int_bf1edb7e | comment |
Comforting Comforter: Since There Is Only One Bed, the Beachwalker decides to sleep on the floor so her bedridden patient won't have to. This works until it gets too cold and he decides that she should have the blanket. And he won't take no for an answer. They work it out. | |

Good Samaritan | |
| Beachwalker / int_eeb86ce6 | comment |
Good Samaritan: Basically the Beachwalker's reason to live, and the primary source of her identity. The self-given title of "Beachwalker" refers to the star of a story in which a man finds a beach full of stranded starfish and starts throwing them into the sea. | |

Innocent Cohabitation: While she has her initial doubts about the Starfish's intentions when he protests against her sleeping on the floor, there turns out to be little or no sexual tension despite the situation. | |

Promotion to Parent | |
| Beachwalker / int_f12d9d83 | comment |
Promotion to Parent: Part of the reason why the Beachwalker is so driven to take care of those who have no one else is because her father abandoned her at a young age, leaving her to take care of everything while her mother drank herself into oblivion. | |
