Hot Teacher: Abraham van Helsing, who first appears in chapter 8, is pretty good looking. He also overlaps with Cool Teacher with how he immediately accepts Mina. |

Unreliable Narrator |
| | #DRCL midnight children (Manga) / int_1869b4b1 |
comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Volume 2 sows some doubt about the accuracy of Mina's recounting of events, as she zig-zags between being a student at Whitby and being only a maid employed at the school, with her uniform occasionally changing mid-scene. Two obvious examples appear in Chapter 11: First, Mina subdues a hallucinating Arthur using her wrestling skills, earning Van Helsing's praise. But then the scene cuts to Mina at her typewriter. She muses "Perhaps that is too much," crumples up the page and starts again, this time showing Van Helsing snapping Arthur out of his delusion himself by splashing holy water in his face. Rather than ask for Mina's assistance in guarding Luke, Van Helsing politely dismisses her to return to her maid duties. However, on her typewriter, Mina describes Van Helsing welcoming her into the group. |

Pit Trap: Happens to Mina in Chapter 2. As she sees Luke, Quincey, Jo and Arthur while running in the graveyard for the appointed picnic, Mina realizes that the note didn't come from the student who bullied her earlier. Before she can give them a verbal lashing, she immediately falls into this trap, much to the joy of Arthur and Quincey. |

comment |
Standing in the Hall: In the prologue chapter, Mina is forced to do this, and wear a dunce cap for punishment. This is later expanded in the series proper, with Mina having to stand and face the wall whenever other students pass by while she's working as the school's maid. The only characters who speak to her are Van Helsing and Arthur and his gang. |
