History Characters / MagnificentCenturyKosem

* AmbiguousDisorder: He has some sort of mental health problem, but it's not clear what.

* AmbiguousDisorder: It's not clear what exactly he suffers from.

* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Zigzagged with older Kosem. To the people of the Ottoman Empire, she is a generous and patriotic monarch who looks after its inhabitants and stayed loyal to Sultan Ahmed even decades after his death, which are true things despite her becoming DrunkWithPower. Same things do not apply to her own family members, or anyone else in the royal palace. She could not care less about betraying and killing her own kin, and justifies everything by doing it for the same of the Empire, straight up telling Turhan, that she will not hesitate to kill her own grandson just as she did not hesitate to kill her own sons, Murad and Ibrahim.

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Anastasia starts the story as a compassionated young woman with strong morals, who always stands up in front of injustice. She always confronted the corrupted Safiye Sultan without even using Safiye's immoral and manipulative methods and swore to never become like her. When Ahmed dies, she promises him to take care of all of his children. Unfortunately she cannot keep her promises. Unfortunately she cannot keep any promise to him. After, a series betrayals, enemies that constantly came after her, her own children turning on her and then dying one by one, and the corrupted harem system, Kosem ended up being a second Safiye. In her final moments, Kosem is confronted by young Anastasia in a hallucination who points out these things to her, that in order to protect her children she gained power, only to become DrunkWithPower herself and destroy all of her children.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: She is like both Daye Hatun and Afife Hatun in the original.

* ChainsOfCommanding: At a young age, he's burdened with the absolute rule over an empire beset by uprisings and his own scheming relatives. He's also forced to confront a horrific dilemma - whether to kill his little brother, whose survival seriously threatens Ahmet's own throne and life.

** He also has deep regrets about [spoiler: having Derviş executed.]

* NiceGuy: For a sultan; he's a pretty decent person overall, but he is forced to do some not-so-nice things out of duty or self-preservation, such as [spoiler: forcing Derviş to execute Fahriye] or [spoiler: imprison his little brother.]

* SiblingTriangle: Both he and Iskender love Kosem.

* PrinceCharming: He is a noble and kind sultan.

* AChildShallLeadThem: He is crowned at 13.
