1 | ''[[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Twisted_Mirrors/ Twisted Mirrors]]'' is a fantasy [[{{Webcomics}} webcomic]], created by dragonsong12. Set in a fantasy world where humans hold another species - the boetheri - as slaves, the series focuses on Nareth, a young nobleman who finds himself transferred into the body of a boetheri, Tren-an. Nareth must not only deal with his new life as a slave (supported by his boetheri servants Tai-ra and Jaith, who are unaware of the change in their master), but he must also try to thwart the plans Tren-an has in his original body. |

4 | !!This webcomic provides examples of: |
5 | |
6 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Ralla, Nareth's love interest as a human, seems nice... until she tortures Nareth-as-boetheri on their first meeting simply as a lesson in obedience.]] |
7 | * {{Blackmail}}: Tren-an threatens Nareth [[spoiler:and, later, Bradley]] into keeping the switch hidden. |
8 | * DemBones: Animated skeletons serve as guardians in the abandoned elven city. Notably, they are fragile and easily dispatched. |
9 | * DrunkOnTheDarkSide: Nareth showed signs of this after successfully frightening [[spoiler:Tren-an.]] |
10 | * EvilSorcerer: Tren-an. |
11 | * EyepatchOfPower: Subverted with [[spoiler:Jaith]], as he does not become noticeably more badass. |
12 | * FantasticRacism: Towards the boetheri. |
13 | * FirstNameBasis: Jaith calls Nareth-as-boetheri "Tren" (rather than the full name "Tren-an") early on. [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Twisted_Mirrors/index.php?p=240294 These]] [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Twisted_Mirrors/index.php?p=244591 three]] [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Twisted_Mirrors/index.php?p=246835 pages]] explain that this is quite significant. |
14 | * GrandTheftMe: Tren-an's switch with Nareth begins the plot. |
15 | * HappinessInSlavery: Tai-Ra and Jaith; Nareth was an exceptionally considerate master, although Tren-An, after taking over his body, is not. In the BackStory, the original masters of the boetheri - the elves - treated all boetheri well. |
16 | * HereThereWereDragons: In the BackStory, much of the world's magic was deliberately sealed away by humans, allowing them to triumph in their war with the elves. Magic still exists, but only in a minor form (thus far). |
17 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Tai-ra suffers this, after Tren-an requests her company for the evening, and Nareth confronts him, preventing her from fulfilling said order.]] |
18 | * HumansAreBastards: Towards the boetheri, anyway; technically, one of the elves started the war. |
19 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Nareth, after becoming a boetheri, discovers his friend Bradley is this. |
20 | * MadeASlave: Nareth. |
21 | * ManipulativeBastard: Tren-an. |
22 | * PowersViaPossession: A variation: Nareth is unable to use magic in his original body, but Tren-an is quite capable of doing so after he takes it over. |
23 | * TheRant |
24 | * SlaveRace: The boetheri. |
25 | * TheStoic: Ser-den, Ralla's chief servant. |
26 | * TongueTied: [[spoiler:Tren-an does this to Nareth's friend Bradley after he figures out the switch.]] |
