This subsection of the Heralds Of Valdemar Character Sheet deals with the deities of the setting, as well as general character tropes shared by various groups within the series.

Kal'enel, "The Star-eyed Goddess"

The Goddess of all the Kaled'a'in clans, she is has four aspects, the Maiden, the Warrior, the Mother and the Crone. It is mentioned in The Mage Storms that ancient Karse had a Goddess with an almost identical name, in addition to the God Vkandis.

Divine Delegation: A pretty recent thing. She just chose Avatars for herself at the end of The Mage Winds Trilogy.
The Hecate Sisters: Three of her four aspects, the odd one being the Warrior.
Technicolor Eyes: Sort of, her eyes are like a patch of the night sky.
The Omniscient: Averted, even She doesn't always know what's going to happen.
Physical God: There is no doubt that She exists and She has interfered relatively often and unmistakably in the lives of her people over the years.
Reasonable Authority Figure: She is good to her people, but she doesn't baby them either.

Vkandis the Sun Lord

The God worshiped in Karse and Iftel

Bolt of Divine Retribution: How he chose to start off his dramatic re-organization of the corrupt Karsite priesthood.
Fan Nickname: Vkandis the Unsubtle, due to the aforementioned bolt of divine retribution
Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter

Heralds

A Boy and His X
Changeling Fantasy: Not universally, but many Herald-Trainees were plucked out of old, ordinary lives, some of which were horrific, when their Companions arrived to get them.
Chronic Hero Syndrome
Circuit Judge
Fish out of Water: New trainees often experience this.
Good Feels Good
Highly Conspicuous Uniform: Their Whites. Quite deliberately in this case.
Honor Before Reason: Can often show this mindset
Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Pretty much a requirement, it's mentioned that, theoretically anyone can be corrupted, but that most evildoers wouldn't be able to figure out what would corrupt a Herald much less provide it.
Living Lie Detector: Via the Truth Spell.
Mind Over Manners
Psychic Powers: Heraldic "Gifts."
Samaritan Syndrome
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

Companions

Because Destiny Says So: Why they choose whom they choose
Bond Creatures
Call to Adventure: They deliver it
Cool Horse
Incorruptible Pure Pureness
Intellectual Animal
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Will sometimes use this on Heralds
Masquerade
Our Angels Are Different: Mercedes Lackey has said that Grove-born Companions are essentially archangels who have taken on a mortal form, while regular Companions are basically ordinary angels (or reincarnated spirits) in a mortal body.
Omniscient Morality License
Sapient Steed
Spirit Advisor: Technically. Sort of.
