| Chime | comment |
A 2011 young adult novel by Franny Billingsley. The story centers around Briony Larkin, a self-proclaimed witch who's convinced she's "wicked." Why? Because years ago, in a fit of jealousy and "witchy rage," she conjured up a wind to knock her sister Rose off of a swing and onto a very hard rock and therefore caused Rose's, um, odd character. Meanwhile, there's a swamp cough going around (deadly 100% of the time), the nearby swamp is being drained, Briony's stepmother is recently deceased, and college dropout Eldric moves in. There's also a lot of "Old Ones" running about ... you know, witches, Boggy Muns, dead hands, Dark Muses, brownies, and the like. All of which Briony can see and talk to. Because she's a witch. Which she already told you, so why do you keep forgetting? Do you not believe her or something? | |

Defrosting Ice Queen | |
| Chime / int_28c1d543 | comment |
Defrosting Ice Queen: Early in the novel, Briony claims she doesn't feel any emotions. She may comment that feeling something would be "nice," and that's the closest she gets. But prolonged exposure to Eldric changes things. | |

Theme Twin Naming | |
| Chime / int_90e2b7b4 | comment |
Theme Twin Naming: Rose and Briony. Rose is a flower, Briony is a poisonous climbing vine. No wonder Briony sees herself as wicked. | |

CloudCuckooLander | |
| Chime / int_9dd2cbc2 | comment |
Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Rose. She often doesn't "prefer" to do things she doesn't like. She has a habit of repeating herself, despite whether or not people around her have heard her and/or responded already. Very adept at noticing subtle differences between colors, and not adept at much else. | |

An Arm and a Leg: There's a dead hand that roams around the swamp. Dead hands have a nasty habit of ripping off live hands. | |

| Chime / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Inverted. Briony is the damaged one with a troubled past, but she gradually learns that she is still loveable due to Eldric's influence. | |

Literal-Minded: Just one of Rose's many lovable quirks. When Briony says, "You don't see me complaining," Rose immediately debates whether you ever see anyone complaining. | |
