History Tropers / Tarlonniel

* BattleCouple: Though the "couple" part takes awhile due to reluctance on Quinn's part, he and Sanguis end up together on and off the battlefield. She typically gets in close with her lightsabers to take out the biggest threat while he uses his brains and blaster to wreak havoc from a distance.
* BlueBlood: Purebloods can trace their descent from the high priests of the ancient Sith race, and Sanguis is no different. Her ancient heritage is brought up occasionally and she has a family estate, complete with servants, on Dromund Kaas. Several other Purebloods met during the story mention being familiar with her or her house.
* BornIntoSlavery: Vette was born a slave on Ryloth and separated from her family at a young age. After being sold to a series of owners, she was freed, only to end up in a slave collar again shortly after the story begins. Eventually she manages to find both her mother and sister and free the latter.
* CloseRangeCombatant: Sanguis relies almost entirely on her lightsabers in combat and focuses on getting close enough to the enemy to use them. Darth Vengean is able to raise a Force barrier which makes her completely ineffective until he's weakened enough for her to get through. If ranged attacks are needed, Vette and Quinn provide them.

* CombatMedic: Quinn has medical training as well as blaster skills. He's called on several times to perform first aid in the field after he's helped neutralize the enemy.
* CruelMercy: When Sanguis realizes that simply killing Jedi isn't as satisfying as she thought it would be, she turns to this instead, bringing out the darkness lurking in the hearts of several of her Jedi opponents and then leaving them alive to face the truth about themselves.
* DeadpanSnarker: Vette loves poking fun at self-important Sith, stupid plans and the universe in general. When jailed and put in a shock collar, she refuses to communicate with the jailer in anything except smart remarks, no matter how many shocks it gets her.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Neither Sanguis nor Quinn have a problem with slavery, as it is both legal and common in the Empire. Quinn and others are also very anti-alien and treat Vette as less than a person, though Quinn gets a little better by the story's end.

* EnemyMine: Sanguis and her team join forces with Republic soldiers on one occasion, Organa troops on anther, and a Jedi Master on a third. The first two team-ups are more or less voluntary - trading a favor for a favor. The Jedi Master blackmails Sanguis into the alliance and she's ''not'' happy about it.

* EtTuBrute: Despite all evidence to the contrary, Sanguis firmly believes that Baras would never betray her. When he does, it hurts her greatly. Quinn's own, smaller betrayal, as well as his attempt to leave her on Taris, also cause her pain.
* FantasticRacism: As an alien, Vette deals with a good deal of prejudice from the various Imperials she encounters, including Quinn.
* GeniusBruiser: Sanguis becomes one of the strongest lightsaber combatants of her time, but she's also cunning, well-educated and a student of Imperial politics and history.
* GentlemanSnarker: Sanguis is usually polite and well-mannered, even to her opponents, but she has a wry sense of humor which Vette helps bring out. She enjoys flirting with Quinn and verbal wordplay.
* GoodIsNotSoft: While Sanguis and Quinn demonstrate a good number of light side traits - mercy, compassion, benevolence - they are Imperials and dedicated to their Empire. They do not hesitate to cut down the enemies of their homeland.

* HeroicLineage: Sanguis's mother was a hero in the last war who made Darth and earned the respect of many fellow Imperials.
* HonourBeforeReason: As a light side Force user in the Empire, Sanguis occasionally catches flack for this from her fellow Sith. She keeps her word, refuses to betray her superiors, and doesn't seek personal glory.
