The Atoner: Ideally, anyone with an animal tries to atone and live with their guilt, but quite a few just use their newfound super powers to continue their ways.

Black-and-Gray Morality: Zinzi is a scam artist, ex-addict, and killed her brother. She's the protagonist by virtue of the fact that nearly everyone else in the story is worse.

Bond Creatures: All zoos have an animal, which they seem to gain by committing some sort of crime. They need to keep their animal close or suffer serious panic attacks and pain, and if the animal dies they are taken by the Undertow.
