* {{Foil}}: The fact that their name is a play on "authentic" demonstrates right away that they're a deliberate constrast to the Forgers. Barbara and Sigmund are a happy, openly affectionate married couple that contrasts with the Forgers' close-knit but fundamentally insecure fake family that's become real. Sigmund and Loid are both very intelligent men, but while Loid is in his physical and mental prime, Sigmund has decayed a bit in his old age. Barbara and Yor are both sweet women, but Yor is a bit of an insecure space cadet who's no good at housework and secretly an assassin with CharlesAtlasSuperpowers, while Barbara is a housewife who's hinted to have a strong will and keep her husband under control. Even Twilight and Sigmund's approaches to trying to teach Anya are deliberate constrasts: they both try to involve her interests, but Twilight simply tries to cram facts and knowledge into her brain while Sigmund instead makes the learning fun, and tries to teach Anya to appreciate learning for its own sake rather than a means to an end.
* GentleTouchVsFirmHand: In contrast to Loid's firm and direct approach trying to teach Anya, Sigmund manages to make even further progress tutoring her by developing an approach she genuinely finds fun, such as saying a line from "Spy Wars" in a classical language.

** In the Chapter/[[Recap/SpyXFamilyAnimeS03E11 episode]] when Martha takes Becky to the Forger residence so that [[PrecociousCrush Becky can "flirt" with Loid]], he casually greets her and determines that the way she stands and present herself, that she must have come from a military background. In Mission-98, after the ballet company that she wanted to audtion for after she graduated from Eden College was disbanded after most of the company was killed in an air raid during the War for Reunification[[note]]a propaganda newscast says that's the war's expected outcome, and it's also the war that preceded the one where Twilight fought as Roland Spoofy[[/note]], she informs Henry that she joined the Women's Auxilary Corps, a non-combat division of the army, as women are not allowed on the frontlines.

** In Mission 59, Loid notes that she carries herself like an experienced ex-soldier. While there's been no external confirmation, Loid's analysis is generally accurate, as her skills during the busjacking incident certainly attest to.

** In Mission 59, Loid notes that she carries herself like an experienced ex-soldier. Mission 98 reveals that she joined the Women's Defense Auxiliary after her dreams were dashed when the Markov Ballet Troupe she had wished to join were bombed. While there's been no external confirmation, yet to be definite confirmation of her activities during her enlistment, Loid's analysis is generally accurate, as her skills during the busjacking incident certainly attest to.

* KickTheDog: The first sign that he is ''not'' a good guy is taking the restaurant's last Meremere cake from Anya just as she's about to eat it, just to have his fix of sweets, on top of the fact he forced his way into a restaurant that only serves families. It's unlikely he knew of the convoluted manner in which it would have helped with Operation Strix, but it's an unpleasant experience for the Forgers nonetheless.

* ActionGirl: Not to the extent of Yor or Fiona given her present age, but Martha's still more than capable of engaging in physical combat when the situation calls for it. Chapter 97 hints that this came from (or at least started with) Martha's background in ballet, since she was a skilled combatant as a teenager able to take on men four years her senior using dance moves.

* NeverMessWithGranny: In Chapter 74, after Billy and the Red Circus surrender themselves on his orders to the authorities before anyone gets killed, Vadim decides to use Anya as a HumanShield and drives off in the school bus. Luckily, the bus is rammed by two nearby armored police cars before it goes too far, and as Vadim staggers out of the bus carrying Anya, Martha, who seems to be in her sixties, uses a [=SWAT=] team member's helmet as a platform, jumps over the police barricade, zaps the would-be fugitive with a taser before he can do anything else, and catches Anya in midair when she's suddenly released.
* OldRetainer: A long-tenured servant of the Blackbell family who looks aged enough to be around her mid-sixties, but in an interesting twist, she's still a physically fit ActionGirl instead of the trope's usual frail sage archetype.
