The Chosen One: A legend arose that when a dog with four white paws was born, the same as a dog that owned by the woman who helped found Gracehope, it would be safe to return to the Wider World. However, it was forced as Thea merely wanted to use this legend to help her case and convince others that it was safe to leave. Ultimately, it acted as the icing on the cake to support Thea's arguments.

Always Identical Twins: Averted. Thea even said that Lana and Thea's mother, Mai combined to look like Mai's twin sister, Aurora.

Bureaucratically Arranged Marriage: Akin to this, but a bit more creepy. Each woman can apply to becoming a mother by going to a woman, known as the Angus, who decides which mate would provide for the best genetic offspring. She alone knows everyone's paternity. The fathers basically are sperm donors (presumably natural insemination) who are not involved in raising the children. Thea admits that this process reminds her of how she helps to breed the dogs.
