History Characters / Drowtales

* LawfulNeutral (the Duskians have this as their clan philosophy, maintaining order and controlling nether outbreaks but staying neutral in politics, as evidenced by their refusal to [[spoiler:choose either Nega'fanae or Balsii]] but step in when [[spoiler:nether gates start being opened]]) [[invoked]]

* OverlyLongName

* TurnCoat (albeit Rosof is a more positive take on this trope, but as seen in [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive/20091129c01MachikeConquest01.jpg the Machike takeover side-story]], he was originally a member of a female Dark Elf's army, until she was killed by Quain'tana and the latter later defeated him in combat

* GenderBlenderName (only by human standards, since she's usually referred to simply a Chrys)

* ParentalFavoritism (even though Zala'ess seems to care for all of her children [[hottip:*:except Yaeminira, but that's complicated]] Chrys seems to hold a special place with her mother. Played with after the timeskip, where Chrys'tel is [[spoiler:Empress Zala'ess' overseer]] but [[spoiler:it's implied Zala made Chrys this so she could keep an eye on her in light of what she learned from Sil'lice]])

* RedHerring (at this point it looks like the parallels between Shinae and Yaeminira are this, since unlike Yaeminira and Vy'chriel Chrys'tel and Shinae have managed to reconcile, and both of them have apparently survived the timeskip)

* MrsRobinson (in addition to FoxyGrandma, she also qualifies as this, since as someone who's been alive since the Sharen/Sullisin'rune War [[spoiler:not to mention a dark elf]] she's significantly older than most of her lovers. Also qualifies in that it's been [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1563 subtly implied]] that [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1564 she might have]] something going on with Kel'noz.)

* AlwaysChaoticEvil (their reputation, though individual members sometimes avert this)

* PetTheDog (her defense of Faen)

* PluckyGirl (even [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=418 Ariel notices]] how hard it is to keep Chrys'tel down when she's determined. Also crosses over with VillainousValour, though she's only a "villain" to Ariel)

* TheThreeFacesOfAdam (as a SpearCounterpart to TheHecateSisters, the main male members also fall into this trope, especially since Sarnel is related to both elder members.)

** Rosof: The Prophet / Mentor, which is emphasized even more by him actually looking old

* DramaticIrony (for most of the story the audience and several other characters have known that [[spoiler:her mother is really Mel'arnach, not Quain'tana]], but she doesn't know. This makes a lot of her interactions with both [[spoiler:Mel and Quain]] that much more interesting.)

* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen (she's not known to be particulary nice, though compared to her daughters she looks like a saint)

* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother (even with the usual parts of this trope pertaining to fae, she takes it one step further by looking the same age as [[spoiler:[[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7775 her granddaughter]]]])

* TheChessmaster (like most of the other Ill'haresses)

* MrsRobinson (in addition to FoxyGrandma, she also qualifies as this, since as someone who's been alive since the Sharen/Sullisin'rune War [[spoiler:not to mention a dark elf]] she's significantly older than most of her lovers. Also qualifies in that it's been subtly implied that she might have something going on with Kel'noz.)

* BreakTheHaughty (the Nidraa'chal War, which resulted in the deaths of most of her family [[spoiler:and framed her for attempted murder]])

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe (not quite this trope, but the dragon Kalki tainted sicced on him [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6027 very nearly tore his body in half]])

* OnlySaneMan (he came off as being considerably more level headed than his mother and sister)

* DeadGuyJunior (depending on how canon the [[http://wiki.drowtales.com/index.php/Main_Page Orthobbae Library]] is, her character was named after Diva'ratrika's sixth daughter who died long before the start of the story. The circumstances behind the death have not been revealed as of yet to the audience.)

* DeadGuyJunior (both of them- they are named after her son Kau'shala, who died in the Nidraa'chal War))
* TheGadfly (Shala seems to be this [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1787 to her brother]])
* HalfIdenticalTwins (at first, though after the timeskip [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1787 Shala has about half a head on her brother]])

* MoralityPet (to Sil'lice)
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics (Shala has [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6093 more prominent eyelashes]] than her brother, and after the timeskip is taller than he is)

* HalfIdenticalTwins

* TertiarySexualCharacteristics (Shala has [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6093 more prominent eyelashes]] than her brother)

* CuriosityIsACrapshoot (while Chrys' curiosity is one of her best features, and is explicitly identified by Zala'ess as such after the timeskip, her tendency to look before she leaps and follow her intuition has nearly gotten her killed on three separate occasions. It also [[spoiler:indirectly led to Naal's death]] and very nearly [[spoiler:the death of Nau'kheol]].)

* MrsRobinson (in addition to FoxyGrandma, she also qualifies this, since as someone who's been alive since the Sharen/Sullisin'rune War [[spoiler:not to mention a dark elf]] she's significantly older than most of her lovers. Also qualifies in that it's been subtly implied that she might have something going on with Kel'noz.)

* MrsRobinson (in addition to FoxyGrandma, she also qualifies this, since as [[spoiler:a dark elf]] she's significantly older than most of her lovers. Also qualifies in that it's been subtly implied that she might have something going on with Kel'noz.)
