* BadassBeard/BadassMustache: If promotional shots of Pascal are anything to go by.

* TheRival: To House Tyrell. Mace Tyrell and Doran Martell in particular ''detest'' one another.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The Martells were Targaryen loyalists to the last. They responded to Robert Baratheon's ascension to the Iron Throne by effectively sealing Dorne off from the rest of Westeros and maintaining only cursory diplomatic ties to the capital. Tyrion sending Myrcella to Sunspear was as much an attempt to bring Dorne back into the fold (albeit 17 years late) as it was to get her out of Cersei's clutches.

* AdaptationExpansion

Prince Oberyn's mistress.

One of the Great Houses of Westeros. It rules the peninsula of Dorne in the far south of the continent from the castle at Sunspear and has a somewhat idiosyncratic culture relative to the rest of Westeros. Though loyal to the Iron Throne, it has pursued a more isolated role in events since Robert's Rebellion.

* BadassBoast: [[hottip:From the Books...:Their motto "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken." reflects that Dorne resisted the Targaryen conquest with guerrilla warfare and only joined the realm peacefully two centuries later with its autonomy mostly intact, hence why the nobles of House Martell, Dorne's paramount house, are princes and princesses.]]

* TokenMinority: Among the Great Houses of Westeros - not in Dorne itself. [[hottip:From the Books...:The books describe them as "Salty Dornish", which means dark olive skin and black hair. Doran Martell's children are even darker due to their Norvosi mother. The show seems to be going with Latino, casting Chilean actor Pedro Pascal as Oberyn.]]

* TheRival: To House Tyrell. Mace Tyrell and Doran Martell in particular ''destest'' one another.
