* [[spoiler:AFateWorseThanDeath: She considers being raped several times and the destruction of her temple this.]]
* [[spoiler:AntiVillain: Genuinely believes that killing Rhaego and rendering Drogo helpless is for the greater good, and may be right.]]

* [[spoiler:[[BurnTheWitch Burn The ''Maegi'']]: Though it's less because she's a witch and more because she betrayed Daenerys]].
* [[spoiler:ButNotTooEvil: There is no evidence that she was poisoning Drogo, as he staunchly refused to heed to her instructions by inebriating himself. Up until then, her intention was to get into Daenerys' inner circle; then again, her ultimate intention was to kill their unborn child, Drogo aside.]]
* [[spoiler:DefiantToTheEnd: Vows to not scream when Daenerys orders her thrown onto Drogo's funeral pyre. Daenerys simply says that she will, but she only needs Duur's life. Duur fails to keep her vow.]]
* [[spoiler:FalseFriend]]: She's even listed as one of these in the appendixes
* [[spoiler:FishOutOfWater: She is a remarkably powerful sorceress with a great learning background in the middle of a tribe of Lamb Men. Her presence, encounter and entering in a circle of confidence with Daenerys hints that it might have been intentional. Considering that the Dothraki raid the Lhazareen frequently for slaves, it's a big wonder how they didn't encounter her before they came with Daenerys.]]
* [[spoiler:[[KillItWithFire Kill Her With Fire]]: Her punishment for the death of Rhaego and saving Drogo's life but leaving him brain dead]].

* [[spoiler:PayEvilUntoEvil: Her vengeance upon Khal Drogo.]]
* [[spoiler:RapeAndRevenge: She had already been raped several times by the time Daenerys "rescued" her, and she takes revenge by manipulating Daenerys, killing her unborn child, rendering Drogo catatonic, which breaks his huge Khalasar apart into several competing groups making the Dothraki much less of a threat to other cities]].

* WalkingSpoiler: Have you seen how many of the tropes are spoiled out?

* [[CrapsaccharineWorld Crapsaccharine City]][=/=]FalseUtopia: Qarth pretends to be a ShiningCity were everything and everyone is beautiful and pleasant. Its people, courteous and civilized and so sensitive there's no taboo against men crying and assassins apologize before killing you and the female body is not repressed, but expected to be shown. Beneath the shiny exterior, however, lies an economy built on slavery, politics dominated by an an impossible, decadent and corrupt bureaucracy that takes bribes but don't deliver what they were bribed to do but who will poison any potential threat. And the city's AncientTradition, the warlocks? They invite people to their headquarters and offer them knowledge so their leaders can feed on their life energy.

Even in the brightest day of summer, the sky is grey and with little light, the only plant that grows is the inedible ghost grass and the waters of the river Ash are populated by blind and deformed fish that only shadowbinders eat and bioluminiscent plankton that turns its waters black during the day. Any animal that sets foot in Asshai quickly dies. Thus food and freshwater are imported by ship. Also [[spoiler:there are no children in Asshai, which coupled with Melisandre's memories imply they rely on importing slave children to maintain its population]].

* TheOrder
** OrderReborn: Due to the rebirth of Daenerys' dragons their magic is strong once again.
