* NotGoodWithPeople: She prefers to work alone except for Achal and Meros, both before and after Exalting.

* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: As any general has to be.

* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: Not Elana herself -- she got just a glimpse of the human being behind the Scarlet Empress's imperial facade, and became quite fond of her.

* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: One of her lovers noticed her crying in her sleep.

* AffablyEvil: The unnerving thing about Raksi is that she always greets people with politeness and regal decorum. Those she likes find that [[TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask it isn't an act]]; she genuinely does want to be a good queen to her city and respects the privacy of other Lunars. The problem is, she also [[CardCarryingVillain knows her reputation, and enjoys it]], and she can turn FauxAffablyEvil and threatening on a dime.

* BadassInCharge: Although she wasn't in charge for long, she was still a war hero turned queen.

* AssassinOutclassin: A fiction-piece in "Dragon-Blooded" has her fighting off no lesser assassin than ''Nova'', the iconic night caste herself. She does so via a combination of FullContactMagic and rather casually summoning a demon-''zodiac''. [[BadassBoast According to her]], its not her first time.

* {{Bishonen}}: Before the Wyld? [[http://sayda.deviantart.com/art/DotFA-Wolf-With-Red-Roses-114909050 Definitely.]] After the Wyld? ... Actually, he's still incredibly pretty, just not ''superhumanly'' so.

* BornIntoSlavery: On the basis of being a Djala. Which is weird, since they all have Awakened Essence, and should by all rights be the rulers of Varang by way of AsskickingEqualsAuthority.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: She's a Dawn Caste warrior, while Zeniths are the ones designed to be leaders. Nevertheless, she was granted the Creation-Ruling Mandate on the strength of her reputation as a war hero. While she was a horrifyingly effective warrior, by most accounts she wasn't really a particularly talented or effective ''leader'' and was rapidly forced out of power and reduced to a mostly-ceremonial role as a result.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: De facto leader of the Confederation Of Rivers because they have the best soldiers and the scariest weapons. To be fair they're usually fairly nice about it.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Crowned herself Empress by taking control of a superpowered weapon of mass destruction.

* NonActionGuy: Part of the reason he's not a serious candidate for the throne -- the Realm [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority wouldn't follow a leader who can't fight well]].

This Water-Aspected House was a favorite of the Scarlet Empress... up until a few centuries ago, when a group of [[WhatAnIdiot unusually reckless and stupid]] young Iselsi staged an ill-conceived attempt to assassinate her. While the perpetrators were all caught and tortured to death, the Empress had no choice but to [[DisproportionateRetribution make an example of the entire House]] for not putting a stop to the plot in the first place. Nearly all the House's possessions were seized, the House elders were arrested on trumped-up charges, and the Empress continued making sure to have a few Iselsi exiled or executed every few years thereafter. Though a tattered and disgraced remnant still exists, it's clear to everyone that the Empress intended to dismantle House Iselsi as slowly and painfully as possible.

* ForScience: Her ongoing attempts to train Terrestrial Exalts to use Sidereal martial arts. The fact that they cannot use Celestial Circle Sorcery without the aid of an UpgradeArtifact (such as the Mantle of Brigid) and are pushing their absolute limits learning Celestial martial arts styles does not seem to deter her belief that she can make this work. Despite the cases of ExplosiveOverclocking that inevitably result.

However, the slain Primordials laid a Great Curse on them that would inevitably drive them insane. Fearing that they would destroy Creation, the Sidereals killed almost all of them with the aid of the Dragon-Blooded who would be the new rulers of Creation. The Solar Exaltations were [[SealedBadassInACan sealed]] inside the Jade Prison, with the few Solars that escaped and their reincarnations being killed by the Wyld hunt.
