 Beast Man: The Kangas apparently look enough like Terran kangaroos that Ludmilla nearly shoots up a zoo upon her first sight of the latter.

 Ace Pilot: As of the beginning of the book, Ludmilla has thirty-four fighter kills and squadrons under her command have destroyed thirteen capital ships, including a dreadnaught which she was the Sole Survivor of the battle to destroy it. She kills at least one Troll Fighter after scrambling (maybe a second one, but the narrative doesn't confirm that her missile hit). Following that the Troll commander notes that, in the three week long running battle during which her fighter is the only remaining human craft because she hasn't had to sleep, she has killed another ten fighters from his squadron. She's an ace nine times over even before she takes out two more Trolls on atmospheric approach to Earth, and the Troll commander is only able to shoot her down because she was willing to die in order to nuke the Kanga ship carrying a bioweapon that would have made the entire human race extinct.

 Absolute Xenophobe: The Kangas are genocidal religious fanatics and the Trolls are their cyborg slaves which also happen to be "programmed" to be psychotic aside from absolute loyalty to their masters. The Trolls are very aware of their enslavement and hate their Kanga masters just as much as they hate everything else.

 Born Lucky: Humanity is pretty much this in both the future and the past. In the original timeline we had just enough time to develop far enough that we beat off the first Kanga attack instead of becoming their 28th victim, fifty years earlier and it wouldn't have even been a fight. Then a bio weapon attack gone wrong granted some of us immortality, even as the tide completely turned and while slow the outcome hasn't been in doubt for a very long time. In the past humanity also got all the breaks, with just enough future human forces surviving to save Earth and the Kangas' self-sabotage allowing us a chance to help save our own hides. Then while one Kanga military member survived he turned out to have an agenda other than (immediate) annihilation while an expert on killing him landed on the deck of a boat captained by a US Navy officer senior enough to quickly give her an in with the authorities in time to stop him. Then of course Five centuries of advanced tech is handed to us on a plate, with the certainty that the war will be over far quicker this time.

 Blood Knight: While Trolls are best described as Omnicidal Maniacs, they do delight in destroying the objects of their all consuming hatred.
