to:
* FirstKiss: A unique and meaningful one. After years together and teasing romance, Kochi and Silyang come to the end of an especially flirtatious training session, and to deal with their nerves about acting, Silyang casts a spell on her. That spell was Command, and that Command was "Kiss." Needless to say, she didn't try to resist.

to:
* AbusiveParents: See WhiteSheep. Zara's parents care little for her, and should it come to an inner-family conflict (which, for drow, often ends with death), Zara knows who her parents favor. [[spoiler: And she was right, given they promptly and without question sent killers after her and Markos after a scuffle caused by her brother ended in her having to kill him in self-defense.]]

* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Zara has never held any fondness for her people nor their tendencies within the worship of Lolth, but among them was the only place where she had a chance to belong and potentially thrive.

RedEyesTakeWarning: Downplayed. Zara is a drow with red eyes, and she is indeed highly dangerous and has some selfish motivations. However, she is not evil, as most would expect given her drow appearance.
* WhiteSheep: Not only for her family but for her entire faction of drow as a whole. Among a people who spend their time obsessed with dominating others to the point of senseless slaughter, Zara is a secretly well-intentioned GoodBadGirl with warmth left in her heart. Needless to say, most of the drow hated her [[spoiler: and promptly exiled and hunted her when she protected Markos from injury.]]

* CreepyGood:CreepyGood: Hadrian's powers are built on a base of shadow, stealth, and cold, but DarkIsNotEvil. It's understandable that the man chosen to ensure the comfortable passage of death would be as unsettling as an undertaker, even given the nobility of his work.

* TheExile:TheExile: Somewhat by choice. Hadrian once mingled among the Aasimar and Celestials as an Aasimar himself, but when the power of the undead began to increase, the Celestials decided that someone needed to maintain a place of power that could ward against this threat. Hadrian was willing to assist, but they didn't tell him that his connection to the Celestials needed to be severed entirely until he was already fallen.
