Depraved Bisexual: The villain of What Doesn't Kill You isn't above using sex to control his male employees (The Dragon in particular), and also fantasizes about torturing and raping Catherine.

Immortality Inducer: Hu's latest project in What Doesn't Kill You is apparently both poison and cure. He treated an old woman with it and it turned her youthful again.

Eccentric Mentor: Hu Chang, dear God. He experiments with chemicals in part for his own amusement and seemingly takes few things completely seriously. He also rescues Catherine's son from under the nose of assassins who already killed the CIA agents guarding the safehouse.

Action Mom: Catherine has a teenage son and spends a lot of the first book trying to keep him safe while she deals with the villain.
