Half-Identical Twins | |
| Tara Duncan / int_116a648e | comment |
Half-Identical Twins: Mara and Jar, Tara's long lost younger siblings, are a prime example of this, being carbon copies of each other, only with opposite genders. Adverted with Tara's children, who despite being twins of the opposite gender, have very distinct personalities and look nothing like each other, but are carbon copies of their parent of the opposite gender. Celia is a carbon copy of Cal before Tara used her magic to make him fit her preferences without his consent. | |

Anti-Magic | |
| Tara Duncan / int_18bf4326 | comment |
Anti-Magic: Some humans - such as the heroine from the spinoff series The Otherworlds of Tara Duncan - are totally immune to magic, when it is directly aimed at them, and this includes healing and memory altering spells as well. They are called NM in the original french version, which stands for Non-Manipulable. They however aren't immune to the effects spells have on their environment: indeed, even if a fireball will be ineffective against a NM, they will die from the fire and smoke caused by said fireball around them. The author is said to be a NM in the books, which is why she is able to write about Tara's life wihout having her memory wiped out. They are apparently not immune to potions. | |

Voluntary Shapeshifting | |
| Tara Duncan / int_1fb440a6 | comment |
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Tara can shapeshift into anything, from a dragon to a vampire. She can also make anyone shapeshift into anything, and can also inflict permanent genetic modifications - such as when she changed Robin into a full elf, after he had just accepted his mixed race heritage and made Cal, [[whose family business is thieving, taller and boarder to suit her tastes]] when she was turned into the Dark Queen. She is also the only one who can turn vampires addicted to human blood into normal vampires. | |

Wholesome Crossdresser: Magister of all people gets hit with this in one of the books. He takes the appearance of a female elf to sneak in the palace undercover, gets courted by a casanova elf before murdering said elf (bringing to light said elf's affairs and cheating on various women) in response. The ending of the thirteenth book implies he's planning a similar ploy. | |

So Beautiful, It's a Curse | |
| Tara Duncan / int_3b9b21c9 | comment |
So Beautiful, It's a Curse:Justified. Tara inherited a love curse from her mother due to being conceived while Selena was afflicted with it. Robin, Jeremy, and Sylver all fell for her before it's revealed. Inexplicably, she's still described with a magnificent beauty after said spell was broken, and Cal becomes infatuated with her (maybe done under influence in the animated version), despite having resisted the curse until book 8 and being in love with another girl, Eleanor, until then (Eleanor was dead when he fell for Tara). | |

Polar Opposite Twins | |
| Tara Duncan / int_4dd46feb | comment |
Polar Opposite Twins: Dan and Celia are this, not only in looks and gender but also in personality. And as anyone would expect of this trope, Celia turns out to be the shy and soft twin with low self-esteem while Dan is hotheaded, courageous and impulsive and is envious of his mother's magic. The only thing they agree on is that Tagon, the city where Tara sent them to live in, is boring, but Celia would rather live in Paris or NYC while Dan prefers to live adventures in Autremonde. | |

Not Using the "Z" Word: Tara is offended when Sandra calls her a witch, since "spellbinders" are apparently a different thing entirely, which is true in the books, where witches - male and female - are a group of evil magic users who have green skin, wear pointy hats and ride flying brooms. | |

Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke | |
| Tara Duncan / int_5ec15a79 | comment |
Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke: It is revealed in Book 5 that the reason behind Tara's godlike magic is the result of genetic engineering Dragons have secretly subjected the Imperial family to ever since it was established after Demiderius. However, since they planned to use her for their evil projects, they gave her much stronger magic than any of her ancestors, outmatching her father already as an infant. Later, she refuses to have her children undergo the same process despite the fact that the Dragons have been doing it successfully since the dawn of time, which results in two very frustrated teenagers with subpar magic, with one terribly envious of his mother's magic. | |

Not Quite the Right Thing: In the eighth book, a ghostly Selena Duncan manages to convince a little girl with the same first name as her to take her place during a resurrection ritual by Magister. Not only does he find out the truth from a possessed Tara, his attempts at taking the real Selena Duncan back end up with being turned into a werewolf thanks to Selena having done the same not long before her death. Which cures him of all his previous injuries, strengthens him and makes him fall in love with her even more. Needless to say, Selena is not happy when he tells her this upon coming back. | |

Wizards Live Longer | |
| Tara Duncan / int_890d778 | comment |
Wizards Live Longer: Spellbinders live an average of 300 years, and age accordingly, at least as soon as they stop growing. Some age slower than others but it is unknown why. Scientist later discover that it is the amount of magical power one has that determine their aging speed. As such, Tara, the strongest spellbinder ever, still looks like a 18 years old at 35, while having two 13 year old children. However it is not known if it is specifically the ability to practice magic that gives spellbinders their extended longevity, since there is no instance of a Spellbinder's child being unable to use magic. As such, we do not know if Fabrice, the child of two humans who turned out to be able to use a weak form of magic because of magical overexposure while in the womb, would have had the longevity of a human or a spellbinder. | |

Self-Insert Fic | |
| Tara Duncan / int_b9d11ad6 | comment |
Self-Insert Fic: The title character shares some similarities with her author, Sophie Audouin-Mamikonian. Notably physical traits (both blond and dark-eyed) and ancestry. The author is related to the Mamikonian family, which reigned over Armenia more than 12 centuries ago; it's a Republic nowadays. Included in the books, this detail results in Tara being an imperial princess, and the direct heir to a throne. | |

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male | |
| Tara Duncan / int_c289826f | comment |
Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: In the 10th book, Robin is raped by a female demon pretending to be Tara. While the demon is punished for this by the Prince of Demons, Tara and the rest of the cast treats this as Robin cheating on her. While Tara does have a point in that Robin should have known it wasn't her due to her saying she wasn't ready for sex just a day before, it still comes off her as blaming him for being assaulted. | |

| Tara Duncan / int_e2a41c3b | comment |
Literal-Minded: Some demons are like this. Mention goes to the demon sent to kill Tara by Magister in the ghost invasion book, who summons storms and loud instruments in the middle of a sound-sensitive flower field, exploding it and several nearby creatures and inadvertently saves Tara, Angelica and Sylver from a certain death instead, due to misinterpreting Magister's ironic and annoyed demands. | |

Expy: Sandra greatly resembles Libby from Sabrina the Teenage Witch, even down to being suspicious of Tara's power. | |

Gratuitous Princess | |
| Tara Duncan / int_eca6c7f9 | comment |
Gratuitous Princess: All the female prominent characters are princesses more or less officially. Tara is an heiress of the imperial category (along with her long-lost sister) while her friends Sparrow and Fafnir are respectively a non-heiress princess and The Chief's Daughter. The female dragon Charm is later revealed being a princess too, like the demon Sanhexia. Downplayed starting from the thirteenth book. Tara loses her magic and is no longer heir to Omois' throne after learning that the empress is now fertile again, but is still referred to as such due to having spent a long amount of time with that title. | |

Depending on the Writer | |
| Tara Duncan / int_fdc4fab4 | comment |
Depending on the Writer: The writers seem to go back and forth on whether it is Sandra or Livia who has a crush on Cal. In one episode, Sparrow needs Tara's help for fashion advice. In every other episode, Sparrow is the fashion-obsessed one. Some episodes imply that Tara grew up on Earth with a "normal" life, and others make it clear she knew about magic her entire life. | |

Talking Is a Free Action | |
| Tara Duncan / int_ff5a74c8 | comment |
Talking Is a Free Action: Exaggerated at moments. Namely in the second and seventh book, both Magister and Tara have time for a long, detailed, elaborate summary of past events... right in the middle of an action scene (the former while an evil entity is threatening to kill them all, the latter during a battle to death). What makes this egregious is that while the former is a way to provide a backstory to the book's antagonist nearing the end, the latter is essentially Tara "guessing" the events leading to Sylver being Magister's biological son. | |
