10	* TheRedMage: She takes what she likes from everyone doing magic and every school of magic she comes across as well as her own experience and combines them at her leisure.
11	* MagneticHero & JeanneDArchetype: People are drawn to her, be it Dareon, Chay, [[spoiler:the Serein orphans]] or just random strangers she meets.

23	* KickTheDog: So many many times. [[spoiler:Especially in flashbacks.]]
24	* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:He made his previous apprentices only suffer as much as they had to and {{MercyKill}}ed them asap before they could become the Next [[DarkLord DarkLord/Lady]].

Also secretly cares about Marani after she helped his frail vulnerable freshly healed body survive.]]

39	** ''"His name was Ty Sidra. My brother-in-arms. A braver man never …" his voice broke and he could not speak.''
40	** ''"I was strangely comfortable in his presence, and he in mine. I understood him and there was no need for him to tell me that his brother-in-arms had been everything to him, his strength, his family, his home, none of which he had ever known outside of having Ty Sidra by his side. I understood why he could not let go of the fact that he had promised Ty that he would bring him to the healer women and then had sworn he would save his life and that all would be well."''
41	* WhenHeSmiles: ''"Chay played with the now empty bottle in his hands, then looked up at me and a smile came across his face. He had an extraordinary smile, like the sun came from behind the clouds. It lit up his face entirely and made him look boyish, charming and quite irresistible."''
