The Supernatural
Alanna glows purple sometimes. That's really all the evidence you need in the case that there is some supernatural and magical stuff going on in Alanna: The First Adventure. Oh, and there's like deities and magic spells and hypnotism and stuff. (No elves or dragons though, sorry.) Since Alanna lives in a world with magic, and she herself is born with a magical Gift, she has to confront supernatural things throughout the story—and sometimes, those things are inside her. DUN DUN DUN. But seriously, Alanna wants to be a knight, so she's not thrilled about also having to cultivate her magical abilities, and this is yet one more example of Alanna's internal conflict. Who knew magic could be so angsty? Okay, maybe Harry Potter does.
Alanna would be better off if she hadn't been born with a magical Gift. In Alanna, magic does more harm than good.
Whoever's distributing Gifts must be elitist, since practically every character born with the Gift is noble.
