* Late in the third book, when the Freedom Network is recovering from a devastating blow from the Viis, there's note of Nashmarl standing off to the side talking to one of the Kelth members of the Network. Considering that he and his brother have known almost nothing but disgust or outright hatred due to their hybrid nature, even among Ampris' band of free abiru, there's an implication that he's managed to find some modicum of acceptance among the abiru rebels.

* Ampris and Elrabin's friendship has its rough patches, especially as Ampris' idealism clashes with Elrabin's cynicism. But it's clear that the two care deeply about one another, and that their respective worldviews serve as effective counterpoints. Ampris learns to temper her idealism with caution, Elrabin comes to believe in causes bigger than himself, and the two go on to [[spoiler: lead a rebellion that cripples the Viis empire and allows for a free abiru society to grow on [[ThePromisedLand Ruu-113]]]].

* Bish the archivist immediately recognizes that Ampris is special. Under his gentle guidance, she takes the first tentative steps in appreciating the Aaroun's near-lost culture and realizing that the Viis are far more tyrannical than she was raised to believe. Bish is steadfast in his hope that Ampris - due to her unprecedented position as an abiru with close access to the imperial family - will one day help lead the abiru to freedom. [[spoiler: He doesn't live to see it, and it happens a lot differently than he envisioned, but his faith in her proves well-placed.]]

** When Lady Zureal meets Ampris, she treats the young Aaroun with genuine politeness and compliments. And despite having given Israi what appears to be an insultingly infantile gift, it turns out Zureal made an honest mistake in assuming Israi was younger, and immediately seeks to rectify it with a more appropriate gift. [[spoiler: A shame it doesn't dissuade Israi from her fateful revenge prank, along with its disastrous outcome for all.]]
** Sahmrahd Kaa also has some fleeting moments of treating Ampris as an equal to Israi, such as when he lets her participate in lessons intended for Israi. [[spoiler: Even so, any illusion that he thinks Ampris as anything resembling a surrogate daughter is immediately dispelled when he ruins her life to punish Israi.]]

** Even more impressive is Ampris' success in building bridges with the Viis Rejects. Riddled with genetic defects lingering from the Dancing Death plague, the Rejects are an underclass of Viis society treated little better than the abiru. Ampris manages to help bring them onboard her movement against their shared foe, with the Rejects going on to play a crucial role in her plans. [[spoiler: Ampris is actually upset to hear that the Rejects chose not to join her exodus, but still hopes they will succeed in their intentions of taking over Viismyel and building a new Viis society.]]
** Almost as difficult a task is Ampris getting the Zrheli onboard. Despite them being an abiru species, they're one of the more insular ones. Though the Zrheli initially distrust her due to her [[CondemnedContestant killing of Zrheli during her gladiator career]], she eventually manages to secure their support as well. [[spoiler: The Zrheli agree to open the long-sealed gate to their PromisedLand of Ruu-113, in exchange for the rest of the abiru taking some Zrheli with them and agreeing to preserve sacred sites on the planet. Ampris even has a moment coordinating with a Zrheli who stays behind to ensure that the Viis cannot close the gate prematurely, where she promises - mother to mother - to look after the Zrheli's son.]]
