* BlindWithoutEm: He’s very nearsighted, but does not wear glasses (either because they haven’t yet been invented or because they wouldn’t be given to a slave). This makes it hard for him to recognize Eugenides when he meets him in ''Thick as Thieves.”

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Her people would do anything she asked of them purely out of love for her and with no fear--even the barons (barons being the social class who cause almost all the problems in Sounis and Attolia). On the flip side, this means that any time Eddis has to do something unpopular, they find a scapegoat to be mad at instead of her.

* ToughLeaderFacade: The way she seized the throne became legendary in her country and outside of it--poisoning her own husband and having a guard summarily execute the baron who subsequently demanded her hand (and throne). Later, she recalls how terrified she was when she did that, having no guarantee that the guards she bribed would support her.

* HandicappedBadass: Losing his hand in the second book is traumatizing, and he's never quite as robust as he was before; nevertheless he's still an incredibly talented thief and spy, and once he recovers and acclimates to using his prosthetics, the loss of his hand barely slows him.



* KidHero: He's somewhere ambiguously on the cusp of adolescence in The Thief. The events that unfold after [[TraumaCongaLine his capture by Attolia]] and the responsibilities he later assumes pretty firmly thrust him into adulthood even though he's still in his teens; by the end of the series he's treated as a formidable king with a fearsome reputation despite being no older than his early to mid 20's. [[note]]The original short story "Thief!!" places him at 10 years old; the first book takes place around 5 years later and the rest of the series unfolds over the next 8 years after that.[[/note]]



** Even after his reputation becomes so fiersome that this act no longer fools anyone he still keeps it up, placing him firmly in BunnyEarsLawyer territory.



* YouWontLikeMeWhenImAngry: He tells Yorn Fordad that [[spoiler:if he ends the battle alive but dethroned, then the rulers of all the Greater Powers will die choking on their own blood and that the king of the Braels will be the last to go]]

Added DiffLines:

* FriendshipMoment: Early in ''King of Attolia'', Costis wonders if Aris will deliberately find ways not to show up in the mess at the same time as Costis so he doesn't have to avoid him or sit with a man in disgrace, and Costis wouldn't blame him. Instead, Aris arrives and loudly drops his plate on the table right across from Costis, refusing to abandon him.
