* ProofByExamples: When Ariel finally has the chance to question Riviel on why the latter hates her so much, because they're both locked in a cell, Riviel responds by saying that not only is she jealous of Ariel's powers, ability, and perceived authority, but because the fact that she's met Sharen Vals who are entitled, spoiled, and condescending, therefore she believes '''all''' Vals are spoiled, entitled and condescending, and is thus justified in striking out at them as a result. She comes to realize she's wrong, after Ariel ''peacefully'' hears her out and doesn't retaliate.

* DirtyCoward: He's ''even worse'' than Su'ube. He tries to sneak up on a clearly exhausted Ariel, after he sent several mooks at her, the last of which was so careless with fire foci that ''the val haters were cheering for Ariel'' and swings a sword down on her from behind. When she blocks the sword and challenges him, personally, he cries out for aid until the rest of the clan shout at him to fight his own battles.
* DropTheHammer: Fights with a pair of war rods.



* GroinAttack: On the wrong end when Ariel's had enough and starts to fight back.
* JustToyingWithThem: He takes his sweet time smacking Ariel around and grandstanding, trying to make himself look bigger and meaner than he actually is. This turns around to bite him when Ariel spots an opening and reminds him how it feels to be on the receiving end of a beatdown.
* NeverMyFault: He blames Quain's legacy for "taking everything he loves away from him" [[spoiler: after telling Ariel that he killed Koil'dorath with his own two hands.]]

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Quite literally. Rather than order the Dragon-slayers to get out of the way of a rightfully rampaging "Quainzilla," he orders the troops to use their Earth Foci to subdue Quain by trapping her in stone. This only serves to piss off Quain even more, and convince her that the whole Nori'fu house has turned on her. [[spoiler: Possibly leading to an OffWithHisHead moment for poor Mandroga.]]
