** Israi gets a bit of this, especially in the third book as her reign as Kaa progresses. The weight of ruling a crumbling empire is clearly taking a toll on her, not helped by the typical scheming and intrigue of the royal court. And where her father at least had strong bonds with his family, she realizes that she has spent so little time with her own children that they treat her like a dignitary who occasionally visits their nursery rather than a loved one.

She's also noted as missing her nursemaid Subi after the old Kelth passes away, and has bittersweet nostalgia for her carefree childhood and friendship with Ampris.

** The Blues gladiator team is given a fair amount of focus during the second book. Yet even though Ampris' career with them coincides with her years spent laying the foundations for the Freedom Network, there's never any indication that her teammates are aware of her work or would support it if knew of it. If anything, Teinth - one of the more characterized members of the team - seems to be torn between his romantic feelings for Ampris and his cynicism for what little of her ideals she expresses around him. Regardless of what the others on the team might feel about Ampris' fledgling resistance movement, or if they would have participated in it had they known about it, the Blues never appear again in the story after Ampris' sale to Vess Vaas.
