Freakiness Shame: Wren feels that no one could feel attraction to a "cold, dead" high-level Reboot, which is a major source of angst until Callum proves that he apparently doesn't notice.

Faux Affably Evil: Suzanna Palm, chairman of HARC, definitely counts as this.

Also slightly subverted because Callum can see it too - only Wren doesn't get it. Might be subverted because with the exception of Ever, the other Reboots are shocked and mostly think it's creepy, because they had no idea a number as high as Wren could feel attraction at all.

Everyone Can See It: All of the other Reboots, including Ever, can clearly see that Wren and Callum are in love.

Emotionless Girl: Wren, having been dead for over three hours, is almost completely inhuman.

Wren becomes agitated and her first instinct is to destroy it. On the wall, there's a photo of her as a living child. When she and Callum are on the run from HARC, they pass Wren's old elementary school.

Embarrassing Old Photo: Not embarrassing, per se, but very uncomfortable for Wren.

The Dreaded: Wren is this to the humans of New Texas.

Deuteragonist: Callum, in the second book.Defecting for Love: After Ever dies, and Callum is threatened, Wren decides to finally escape HARC.Chill of Undeath: Wren mentions that Reboots, especially the higher numbers, feel cold and dead.The higher numbers treat her with respect, and the lower numbers shit their pants when she looks their direction. Wren is constantly alone, and always the subject of gossip, but no one would dare bully her. She has some serious PTSD about the experience. Broken Bird: Wren died by being shot in the chest, along with her parents, by her mom's drug dealer.

Blood Knight: It's stated that Wren loves "the hunt.".Beautiful Dreamer: There are several scenes where Callum watches Wren sleep, or vice versa.Badass Adorable: Wren is tiny, blond, and able to fight off five grown men with guns using only her fists.Anti-Hero: Wren is definitely an Anti-Hero, at least in the beginning.Affably Evil: Officer Mayer, the HARC officer in charge of the facility in which Wren and Callum (and Ever) are kept, seems to genuinely like and respect Wren, even getting her out of a tight spot by bending the rules once or twice - but that doesn't stop him from murdering/threatening to murder the people she cares about.The perfect solider is done taking orders. So when HARC decides to have him killed, Wren 178 has had enough. Reboots over twelve are kept in a separate facility where they are trained to be Super Soldiers who act as a sort of Thought Police for HARC. It is later revealed that the under-twelve Reboots are tortured and experimented on for most of that time. If a Reboot is under twelve, they are sent to a holding facility until they become a teenager. Reboots are immediately taken from their families by HARC (Human Advancement and Repopulation Corporation), which is the closest thing the Republic of Texas has to a government. However, this is not a case of a Teenage Wasteland. These Undead Children are known as Reboots. This works on people of all ages, but adults Go Mad from the Revelation and become dangerous, Ax-Crazy monsters, leaving a bunch of Made of Diamond children and teens, complete with the Healing Factor, living among the few still-human survivors. You don't even have to die of KDH to Reboot: you only have to die, and have had KDH at some point in your life. The longer you were dead, the less human you are when you return. It killed you, then brought you back - stronger, faster, more durable, able to heal, and a Soulless Shell or at least, the government wants you to think so. However, for certain people, the KDH virus did more than just kill you.
