Break the Haughty: The subject of several tales, including "Mrs. Mabb", "The Duke of Wellington Misplaces His Horse", "Antickes and Frets", and "John Uskglass and the Cumbrian Charcoal Burner". In the in-universe introduction, the author notes that stories in which Uskglass (the Raven King) gets taken down a peg or two by his humbler subjects are common, continuing a theme from Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell wherein the Raven King's subjects can tend towards anti-authoritarianism and, while they love him deeply, don't always respect him.

The Beautiful Elite: Fairies. However, in "On Lickerish Hill" we see one that is small, ugly and hairy.

Beware the Nice Ones: The titular ladies of Grace Adieu. Cassandra, Mrs. Fields, and Miss Tobias are all perfectly kind and genteel ladies...and if you threaten the children Miss Tobias is governess to, they'll turn themselves into owls and you into mice. And eat you.
