5
6	[[folder:Sil'lice Val'Sharen]]
7	[[quoteright:233:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sil.png]]
8	The third daughter of Diva'ratrika, currently in exile with the Sarghress. A major player in the Nidraa'chal war, she was forced to run when she was framed for the attempt on her mother's life by her treacherous sisters.
9	----
10	* AnIcePerson: A drow with ice affinity. [[KillItWithIce And she's very good with it]].
11	* AntiHero: Her intentions are honorable and motivations sympathetic; however, she's still very ruthless and pragmatic when dealing with those she considers enemies.
12	* BrokenBird: Life's hit her hard, and the one pleasure she had left was all taken away at Felde... and she blames herself for it.
13	* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler: Diva perceived Sil'lice as her hope for defeating her treacherous daughters - and then Sil'lice went and stabbed Sha'sana, killing one of her oldest and last surviving friends.]]
14	* CainAndAbel: She has this with relationship with her two older sisters as well as Zala'ess.
15	* CharacterDevelopment: Goes from being an outwardly arrogant and temperamental individual in the prologue to a much more calculating and stoic person in the main storyline.
16	* DefrostingIceQueen: Pretty much literally, since she seems to have mellowed considerably since the Nidraa'chal War.
17	* DrivenToSuicide: After getting tainted, she requests Kadara's blade. [[spoiler:Kadara refuses to give it to her and insists she stay alive to deal with Snadhya'rune]].
18	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The earliest version of Sil'lice pre-retcon differs wildly from her later characterization. While the current Sil'lice is more of TheStoic, the Sil'lice in the very earliest chapters loved to play sadistic mind games and openly enjoyed torturing as she was doing it. Some of her worse pre-retcon traits seem to have been given to Kadara instead. The best example of this is in Chapter 32 when Sil'lice [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7876 is taken aback and chastises Kadara]] for her treatment of Chrys'tel and Nau'kheol, while the pre-retcon Sil'lice would probably think she had been ''too easy'' on them.
19	* ElementalEyeColors: She has a well-developed affinity for ice magic, matching her deep blue eyes.
20	* ElementalPersonalities: She starts as an inversion and turns a straight example through character growth. Before her exile, she's a hotheaded warrior who is stated to have valued honor above reason -- and yet, her magical affinity is for ice. However, after her clan's coup, she becomes cold, bitter and resentful, holding a deep grudge against her sisters.
21	* FantasticRacism: She REALLY hates the tainted. While it is justified [[spoiler: due to what three of her own sisters did to her and their mother, and that being tainted is basically [[DeadManWalking having a death sentence]]]], Sil'lice kills people just for having red eyes regardless if they were threats or not [[spoiler:including school children]], and even callously abandons any members of her own family who were forcibly tainted [[spoiler:like her son Kau]]. [[spoiler:[[LaserGuidedKarma So when one of her victims gives her the taint, it has been agreed both in-universe and out that Sil'lice really deserved it]]]].
22	* FrameUp: [[spoiler:Why she was forced to leave the Sharen fortress]].
23	* FreakOut: Did ''not'' react to [[spoiler: seeing Nishi'kanta at the Val'Sharess tower during the war]] [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6063 well at all]].
24	* GoodIsNotNice: For a given definition of "good", in this case [[spoiler:her sense of loyalty and not being in on the Nidraa'chal plot]], but she is definitely ''not'' nice, especially pre-{{Retcon}} when she loved to play sadistic mind games.
25	* HarmlessFreezing: Not! Sil'lice proves exactly why ice is as deadly as it is.
26	* HearingVoices: A side effect of being tainted by [[spoiler:the Demon Princes manifested by Kiel's taint, causing her to hear their [[{{Telepathy}} Telepathic]] BreakingTheFourthWall commentary as well]].
27	* HiddenDepths: For all her faults, she does genuinely love her children and even cries when remembering the Nidraa'chal War and Kau'Shala's death.
28	* HonorBeforeReason: She even lectures about it in one of the chibi pages.
29	* HotBlooded: Deconstructed, since her tendency to not look before she leaps and be controlled by her emotions gets her in ''a lot'' of trouble, and even Diva'ratrika acknowledges that despite being intelligent and strong, Sil'lice is also nearsighted and petty. [[spoiler:Despite having had mellowed out somewhat, she lets her temper get the best of her and ends up stabbing Sha'sana without provocation, which leads to her [[YouAReWhatYouHate getting tainted]]]].
30	* {{Hypocrite}}: Averted. Whatever character flaws she may have, Sil'lice judges herself by the same standards she uses to judge others. [[spoiler: Thus prompting her to attempt suicide when she figures out she's been tainted, despite not having a mirror and seeing it for herself.]]
31	* IcyBlueEyes: As befitting both her ice-based powers and her cold demeanor.
32	* IHaveNoSon: [[spoiler:Says this of Kau when she learns he has been tainted, which is ''much'' better than what he was expecting]].
33	* InTheHood: Occasionally wears a hood, as seen in her meeting with [[spoiler:Nishi in Chapter 43]].
34	* ItsAllMyFault: Surprisingly, upon learning of [[spoiler: Shala's death at Felde.]]
35	* JerkassHasAPoint: Best highlighted in one of her verbal sparring matches with Nishi'kanta. Both are right, but both are also wrong. While Nishi is correct that Sil'lice is too hotheaded and tends to leap before she looks, then keeps on fighting until she drops, foregoing all else in her quest or vengeance, Sil'lice is also correct that Nishi's BystanderSyndrome was ''very'' costly to the Sharen clan as a whole, not to mention their respective bloodlines. What's worse is that in the latest battle Sil'lice had the upper hand against ''four'' terrifying opponents, [[spoiler: Mae, Bae, and Sae, plus Mel]] until Nishi simply stood aside and let Sho'dun pass, [[spoiler: presumably letting all five escape justice.]]
36	* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: The forums universally view [[spoiler: her stabbing Sha'sana]] as this, since the latter was in the middle of a HeelRealization, however downplayed, was addressing her calmly and did not pose an immediate threat.
37	* KickTheDog:
38	** [[spoiler: Disowning Kau upon learning he's been tainted, even though he clearly didn't choose for it to happen. And Kau says he was expecting much worse!]]
39	** [[spoiler:When she is given command of Sarghress troops to drive Snadhya'rune's presence out of the Orthobbae school, she does not limit herself to Snadhya'rune's servants. She also slaughters the students taking refuge there. And judging by the student Naal nearly bonded to, she doesn't particularly give a damn anymore if they're actually tainted or not. It gets to the point that her own brother is having to stand between her and massacring the inhabitants of the boys' tower, and only the distraction of the Ninth Tower floater keeps her from just killing him to keep going.]]
40	* KillItWithIce: What she does to [[spoiler:Vy'chriel/Yaeminira]], whose fingers literally snap apart as she dies. Ouch!
41	%%* LadyOfWar
42	* LaserGuidedKarma: She lashes out at tainted, even those who were forced into it -- including one of her own sons. [[spoiler: She also kills frightened and helpless school children hiding in Orthobbae.]] As a result of her prejudice, [[spoiler: she herself is subject to the same fate -- which wouldn't have happened in the first place if she hadn't stabbed Sha'sana without ''any'' provocation. Kiel commented that she kind of deserved it for killing people just for having red eyes, regardless of whether they were forcibly tainted or not]].
43	* LeeroyJenkins: Prior to her exile, she acted brashly before thinking, which tended to get her in trouble. [[spoiler:In chapter 50 she stabs Sha'sana, who would've answered any questions fans had been having about the series for a while, just for being tainted and not checking to see if she actually posed a threat or not. True to form, it bites her in the ass and results in her also getting tainted]].
44	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler:Despite rumour and what her sisters would have you believe, she was ''not'' in on the Nidraa'chal plot]].
45	* MamaBear: She did ''not'' take Kau'shala dying well at all, [[spoiler:which may have been exactly why Kalki did it]].
46	* MiddleChildSyndrome: As the third of five surviving daughters she's the middle child. Diva'ratrika states that [[http://www.drowtales.com/longestwait.php?sid=4258 she never considered Sil'lice worthy of being her successor]] since, despite being the most devoted daughter who attempted to emulate her the most, she lacked the qualities necessary to wear the crown. Which makes the fact that she's both the only sister who is not tainted and [[spoiler:wasn't part of the Nidraa'chal plot]] doubly ironic, since she's technically the only true heir to the Empire.
47	* TheNapoleon: [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/?p=11649 Stated]] to be shorter than her sisters and even her niece Chrys'tel (as an adult) and why she's known to try and overcompensate. Kor'maril was also surprised by how frail she is under her armor.
48	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: A great deal of valuable intel could well be permananently lost thanks to her actions in "Day 10" of chapter 50. [[spoiler: Especially the stabbing of Sha'sana.]]
49	* NobleFugitive: Was forced to go on the run and hide in the Sarghress after [[spoiler:being framed for the attempt on her mother's life]].
50	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Lost multiple children during the Nidraa'chal War, [[spoiler:and now Shala as well]].
51	* PetTheDog: Her twins. [[spoiler: Which makes it all the worse when Shala dies and Kau is tainted, meaning Sil'lice effectively loses both of them.]] Again with Kadara. She hugs Kadara tightly and admits that she was terrified that Kadara was dead or tainted, to the shock of Kadara who has ''never'' witnessed Sil'lice admit being scared before. The forums aren't quite as impressed. The first notable occasion was when she released Chrys'tel, twice, when it would have been very, very easy, and rewarding, to do otherwise, as Chrys'tel was a high-priority target for Quain'tana at the time, and she gained nothing from treating Nau's wounds.
52	* PowerStereotypeFlip: Despite having an ice affinity Sil'lice is hot-headed and prone to losing her temper, though she appears to have mellowed out during her exile.
53	* PrideBeforeAFall: The Nidraa'chal War, which resulted in the deaths of most of her family and [[spoiler:framed her for attempted murder]]was this for her. Just compare how confident she is [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=15 at the start]] [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=30 compared to later]], where she's visibly distraught.
54	* PunnyName: It can't be a coincidence that her name is Sil'l'''ice''', though the creators pronounce it "Sill-iss" in podcasts, which is actually homonym for a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cilice Cilice]] or hair shirt, a garment used in religious traditions to induce discomfort or pain as a sign of repentance and atonement.
55	* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:After being knocked out by a swarm of demons, she awakens with the red eyes of a tainted, much to her daughter Kadara's horror]].
56	* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Almost exactly what she says to Chrys'tel when the latter says that she's [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=523 supposed to be dead]].
57	* RevengeBeforeReason: She ultimately concludes that she should have gone elsewhere to rebuild rather than lose everything she had left seeking revenge.
58	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Narrowly averted. She's roaring her list of grievances at Zala, true, but despite her well-justified rage, does not act on them, yet.
59	* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Possibly for Snadhya'rune regarding the existence of Kalki. In hindsight it looks like she regrets this- if in the prologue and if her own flashbacks are any indication]].
60	* SheWhoFightsMonsters: Her long and bloody history with betrayal, heartbreak, loss, and fighting the Nidraa'chal has left her just as brutal, ruthless, and unforgiving as them. To wit, she has great difficulty recognizing the possible existence of a neutral party.
61	* ShootTheDog: In chapter 50, "Day 10", she's leading an operation to storm Orthobbae and kill everyone inside. Considering the way Snad operates, Orthobbae is a known Snad stronghold, and the fact that the majority of clans have already withdrawn their "important" students, not to mention that Orthobbae has already demonstrated itself a notorious death-trap, under the best of circumstances, it's understandable why Sil'lice and the Sarg squad assigned her would think only enemies would be inside. Still, the forums are hotly divided if it is or is not a MEH for the Sarg clan as a whole.
62	* SiblingYinYang: She and Nishi'Kanta couldn't be more opposite if they tried. She's AnIcePerson while Nishi is PlayingWithFire. She's a LeeroyJenkins while Nishi suffers from BystanderSyndrome. She hates tainting so much that she sees all tainted as DeadManWalking, while Nishi seemingly embraces being tainted. Small wonder they seldom see eye to eye.
63	* TheStoic: Tries to be this after the Nidraa'chal war, but she still has a bit of a temper. So most of the time she's...
64	** NotSoStoic: Best displayed when she fights Vychriel / Yaeminara wherein she loses all composure after finally losing patience with her niece's stubbornness.
65	* SummonMagic: Is one of the most skilled summoners in the worldsetting and one of the very few left who is [[spoiler:(or was)]] untainted. Its unknown how well her abilities stand up against Snadhya'rune though.
66	* TakeAThirdOption: When faced with two choices by Kalki and her Nidraa'chal army (live by surrendering to Kalki, or die by continuing to fight), she decides to pick live... by continuing to fight.
67	* TortureTechnician: She's very good at it and uses her ice powers to help.
68	* TraumaCongaLine: Everything that could have gone wrong for her, has, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop any time soon.
69	* UnexpectedSuccessor: As stated above under MiddleChildSyndrome, despite being the daughter Diva'ratrika thought was the least suitable for the position Sil'lice is currently the only legitimate heir to the Empire, since the rest are either tainted and [[spoiler:behind the coup that removed Diva]] or missing.
70	* TheUnfavorite: Played with as, despite being the daughter that was most devoted to her mother, she was never really considered as a potential heir for a variety of reasons.
71	* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:To her traitor sisters Snad, Sarv, and Zala, since flipping out and storming into the Val'Sharess tower was exactly what they wanted her to do]].
72	* YouAreWhatYouHate: [[spoiler:With a large dose of LaserGuidedKarma. Because she lashed out at Sha'sana by stabbing her to death for being tainted, Sha'sana forcefully taints her with some of Kiel's "Demon Princes". Since she lacks the notable swirls, there is no telling if the taint is "safe"]].

75	[[folder:Kadara Val'Sharen]]
76	[[quoteright:229:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2016_04_15_at_114719_pm.png]]
77	One of Sil'lice's elder daughters.
78	----
79	* AllThereInTheManual: Fans first figured out her name through process of elimination, since during the canon Daydream story that reveals the origin of her twins Sil'lice lists off the names of those that followed her, and of the two that had no known characters attached Kadara was the more feminine of the two, and it was later confirmed in-story.
80	* BadassBoast: [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=5875 What she declares she'll do to Zala'ess when she catches up to her]], which spawned her nickname.
81	* {{Bifauxnen}}: To the point that many fans refused to believe she was female until Sil'lice specifically referred to her as "daughter".
82	* DualWielding
83	* FacialMarkings: Sports a series of tattoos on her left cheek. After the timeskip these appear to be gone.
84	* HotBlooded
85	* {{Jerkass}}: Foul-mouthed, foul-tempered and foul-mannered, Kadara can be a trying individual.
86	* TheLadette: Definitely gives this impression, especially since she's more stereotypically masculine than several of the actual men.
87	* MamaBear: A rather dark take on this trope, since she says that one reason she adopted her current {{Jerkass}} behavior was because [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7884 she had to see her child die during the War]].
88	* MythologyGag / {{Expy}}: Kadara is more or less the worst parts of pre-retcon Sil'lice put into one character.
89	* RapidFireFisticuffs: Proves to be [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6043 quite good at it]].
90	* ShootTheDog: She's helping Sil'lice raid Orthobbae in chapter 50, "Day 10."
91	* WouldHurtAChild: As she [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7859 aptly demonstrates]] to Chrys'tel and Nau'kheol, and even Sil'lice seems [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7876 taken aback]] by her rough treatment of them since, as she points out, they weren't much of a threat even though they were tainted.
92	[[/folder]]
93
94	[[folder:Kau'shala Val'Sharen]]
95	One of Sil'lice's sons, he died during the Nidraa'chal War.
96	----
97	* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Not quite this trope, but [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=34 the dragon Kalki tainted and sicced on him]] [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6027 very nearly tore his body in half]]. It's also entirely possible that the only thing keeping him in one piece was his armor.
98	%%* KilledMidSentence
99	* MrExposition: During the prologue he gives the rundown of the various Sharen sisters' bloodlines.
100	* OnlySaneMan: He came off as being considerably more level headed than his mother and sisters. It's only after his death that Sil'lice starts making ''really'' stupid decisions.
101	* ParentalFavoritism: He seems to have been one of the favorite children of Sil'lice, which is why she took his death so hard.
102	%%* SacrificialLamb
103	* TheStrategist: Came up with the Sharen battle plan in the Prologue.
104	[[/folder]]
105
106	[[folder:Sae'ryne Val'Sharen]]
107	Sil'lice's daughter, who died during the war.
108	----
109	%%* BraidsOfAction
110	* CanonImmigrant: Originally appeared in a [[http://drowtales.deviantart.com/gallery/10695408#/dceu6m commissioned piece]], four years before her first on-panel appearance.
111	* DeadGuyJunior: Depending on how canon the [[http://wiki.drowtales.com/index.php/Main_Page Orthorbbae Library]] is, her character was named after Diva'ratrika's sixth daughter who died long before the start of the story. The circumstances behind the death have not been revealed as of yet to the audience.
112	* OffWithHisHead: How she dies, and quite gruesomely.
113	* HighClassGlass: Her character design as seen above has her wearing a monocle.
114	[[/folder]]
115
116	[[folder: Kyne Val'Sharen]]
117	Sil'lice's granddaughter, her mother was Sae'ryne. She was a golem pilot during the Nidraa'chal War.
118	----
119	* BreakThemByTalking: Calls Sarv'swati out for murdering her own family members and causing so many innocent people to die.
120	* CanonImmigrant: She was originally an important character in the Space Age Daydream story before appearing in the main story.
121	* TheDogBitesBack: In chapter 44, shows up during the assault on the council dome in her old golem to help the Sarghress forces against Sarv'swati [[spoiler:and gets very close to killing her great aunt, though it costs Kyne her life]].
122	* DrillSergeantNasty: [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8288 After the timeskip, to the Sarghress golem pilots]], including threatening to make anyone who forgets their foci gauntlets go through melee training naked.
123	* FreakOut: She did not take seeing her mother's death [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6039 well at all]].
124	* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Her golem's cockpit has a big opening, allowing you to have a clear view of her whole body, and she herself wears little armor. [[spoiler:This makes it relatively easy for Sarv'swati to jump through and kill her.]]
125	* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:After being dealt a mortal blow by Sarv'swati, she attempts to take Sarv'swati with her by crushing Sarv'swati with her golem.]]
126	[[/folder]]
127
128	[[folder:Kau Val'Sharen]]
129	Twin brother of Shala, he is one of Sil'lice's youngest children and was born after the Nidraa'chal War. His father is Kor'maril Niz'zre as revealed in a canon Daydream story. He's [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6022 first introduced]] in Chapter 19.
130	----
131	* BigEater: Has to eat a lot more to keep up his mana levels in order to effectively pilot his golem, leading to a FunnyBackgroundEvent where's he's raiding the Sarghress' food stores after a battle.
132	* BrotherSisterTeam: He and his sister are both members of Ariel's squad after the timeskip.
133	* CheerfulChild: Both him and his sister, especially evident when their reaction to [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1670 being told to take care of Nau's foot injury]] is "Yay!" and wondering if he can play knight with them.
134	* DeadGuyJunior: Along with his sister, he is named after Sil'lice deceased son Kau'shala.
135	* DeadManWalking: He was well aware of this trope when he realized Kalki had tainted him with a nether attack.
136	* DespairEventHorizon: Said to have crossed it in [[spoiler:chapter 50, since his sister was murdered, he has been tainted, his own mother has disowned him, and he has been imprisoned by traitors of the very clan he was raised in]].
137	* TheEngineer: His role as a golem pilot qualifies, and he's shown to have an interest in machinery in general.
138	* HalfIdenticalTwins: At first, though after the timeskip [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1787 Shala has about half a head of height on Kau]], which might be partly from his father, who's fairly short for a drow.
139	* MoralityPet: To his mother.
140	* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:When Kalki infests him with a Vel'Akar demon, his eyes eventually gain the red color of a tainted]].
141	* RedOniBlueOni: Kau as the Blue, and Shala as the Red. Best demonstrated [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8538 here]] where Shala angrily tells Kyo off for supporting Snadhya'rune's colony while Kau has actually fallen asleep.
142	* {{Sexiled}}: By his ''twin sister'' no less.
143	* SpikyHair: Helps distinguish him from Shala even though they wear their hair the same way.
144	* TheStoner: Kau is apparently this, since he gets blitzed out on chocolate to the point that he falls asleep, and is later seen taking and smoking something from [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8597 an individual on the street]], and WordOfGod is that as a golem pilot Kau needs to eat a lot more than his sister to make up for the mana loss, [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/?p=4259 giving him a sweet tooth]].
145	* ThatThingIsNotMyChild: On the receiving end of this from Sil'lice. He considers himself lucky to be ''merely disowned.''
146	%%* TricksterTwins
147	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: The forumites were unsure how to react when it was revealed that Kau and his sister played hide and seek in mommy's iron maidens. Consensus seemed to be that it was simultaneously adorable and disturbing. Otherwise they seem remarkably well adjusted considering the environment they grew up in.
148	[[/folder]]
149
150	[[folder:Shala Val'Sharen]]
151	Twin sister of Kau, she is one of Sil'lice's youngest children and was born after the Nidraa'chal War. Her father is Kor'maril Niz'zre as revealed in a canon Daydream story. She's [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6022 first introduced]] in Chapter 19.
152	----
153	* BrotherSisterTeam: She and her brother are both members of Ariel's squad after the timeskip.
154	* CheerfulChild: Both her and her brother, especially evident when their reaction to [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1670 being told to take care of Nau's foot injury]] is "Yay!" and wondering if he can play knight with them.
155	* DeadGuyJunior: Along with her brother, she is named after Sil'lice's deceased son Kau'shala.
156	* DistractedFromDeath: [[spoiler:Kau and Sarnel are too busy moving her onto Kiel's turtle to notice that she's stopped breathing until they put her down]].
157	* TheGadfly: Shala seems to be this [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1787 to Kau]].
158	* HalfIdenticalTwins: At first, though after the timeskip [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1787 Shala has about half a head of height on Kau]].
159	* HotBlooded: Apparently the {{Hot Blooded}}ness mainly manifests in the females of Sil'lice line. She also possibly gets this from her paternal grandmother, Sang.
160	* TheMedic: It's implied that her healing might be more the HarmfulHealing type based on Kau's comments [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/?p=4382 and artwork by the author]].
161	* MoralityPet: To her mother.
162	* RedOniBlueOni: Shala as the Red, and Kau as the Blue. Best demonstrated [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8538 here]] where Shala angrily tells Kyo'nne off for supporting Snadhya'rune's colony while Kau has actually fallen asleep.
163	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She has an obvious crush on Sarnel, who is a fairly good person by the standards of a society like the drow's.
164	* SlashedThroat: [[spoiler:Inflicted on her by Kalki in chapter 46. Unlike most examples in fiction where this is instantly fatal, Shala manages to keep up the pressure on her own throat to avoid passing out, and given Shala's a healer she likely knows that this is the correct way to handle it in real life, and Snadhya's nurse-demons happen to be right there to help. However she dies on the way to Kiel's turtle from heart failure caused by blood loss]].
165	* SubordinateExcuse: Shala has an [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8697 extremely]] [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8739 obvious]] crush on Sarnel, something Faen [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8619 comments on]].
166	** [[spoiler: They have since hooked up as of the North Cliff attack]].
167	* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: [[spoiler:She, Kau and the nurse demons stem the blood flow from her slashed throat, but she dies from heart failure caused by [[http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000167.htm hypovolemic shock]] as they're making their escape several minutes later]].
168	* TheTease: Towards Sarnel. Her own words are:
169	-->'''Shala:''' ''I only annoy those I love, Sarnel.''
170	* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Shala has [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6093 more prominent eyelashes]] than Kau, and after the timeskip is taller than he is.
171	%%* TricksterTwins
172	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: The forumites were unsure how to react when it was revealed that Shala and her brother played hide and seek in mommy's iron maidens. Consensus seemed to be that it was simultaneously adorable and disturbing. Otherwise they seem remarkably well adjusted considering the environment they grew up in.

175	[[folder:Feli'cia Vel'Sharen*[[note]]Created by Sindas[[/note]]]]
176	A member of Sil'lice's line that was left behind when Sil'lice went into exile, serving as a District Overseer during the height of the District War. Appears in Chapters 40 and 50. Her concept art can be found [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/?p=5147 here]] and [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Felicia2.png here]].
177	----
178	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Her character description implies that she's been mistreated and distrusted due to her bloodline.
179	* AnIcePerson: Her affinity is ice sorcery.
180	* BullyingADragon: She really seems to think that she can take Quain'tana in a fight. She might want to ask [[spoiler:Syphile]] how that went -- OhWait, she can't, since [[spoiler:Syphile]] died trying and completely humiliated herself. Lampshaded by Oil'osslin who essentially tells her she's kidding herself.
181	* CompensatingForSomething: Namely the distrust the rest of the Vels have for her due to her bloodline. She goes rather overboard denouncing the Sarghress.
182	* DualWielding: Seems to have two katanas as sidearms.
183	* GirlishPigtails: WordOfGod suggests she might be imitating Kyo'nne, who's a celebrity in-universe.
184	* KickedUpstairs: Due to distrust and her lack of combat ability, the Vel'Sharen assigned her to a figurehead position, namely a district administrator. This becomes problematic for her when the war comes to her district, since all the commoners are fled, hiding, or conscripted by Sarv'swati and the Black Sun into a slave army, leaving her little to administer.
185	* LargeHam: Clearly this was one thing she got from Sil'lice.
