* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Implied that he thinks of women as lesser beings compared to men. One of the reasons he has so much hate from the fans is because he is written referring to Alahazra, the Iconic Oracle, as a "crone" in the flavor text for ''Advanced Player's Guide'', chapter two. Alahazra, for the curious, is regarded InUniverse and out as being a very attractive woman, with a tendency to run around in surprisingly skimpy clothes.

* RaisedByNatives: Merisiel is a Forlorn, an elf raised among humans. Though it doesn't necessarily mean that she has no social skills. Part of being a Forlorn is seeing all the people you grew up with and who raised you grow old and die at a (relatively) enhanced rate. This makes the above-mentioned InterspeciesRomance a bit awkward, as Merisiel will easily outlive Kyra. Elven middle age being about 60+ years older than a human's maximum lifespan if they are extremely lucky. [[MayflyDecemberRomance Merisiel refuses to talk to Kyra about this.]] She is oddly comforted by Imrijka observing that based on their shared profession, Merisiel and Kyra are overwhelmingly likely to [[TotalPartyKill die at the same time]].

* TheAtoner: How she met up with the party. To pay the convict Milos back for saving her life from a chupacabra at the cost of his own, she traveled thousands of miles from Kelesh to Varisia seek out his family and tell them what became of him.



* DefrostingIceQueen: Because of her DarkAndTroubledPast, it took her a while to internalize the part of her religion where she's supposed to actually ''forgive'' [[TheAtoner people who do wrong and then try to atone for it]]. Besides the interaction with Seelah and the convicts, she's introduced in the comic continuity furiously calling out a severely hungover Valeros after he interrupts her morning meditations by vomiting up his dinner from the previous night. She softens a lot over the course of the first story arc, leading to her falling in love with Merisiel.



* ButtMonkey: Check out the art in the books, especially those prefacing each chapter. If he's in it, chances are something bad has happened, is happening, or is about to happen to him. Like getting caught in one of Damiel's ice bombs. Fan theory holds that this is a BrickJoke: One of ''[[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons D&D 3rd Edition]]'''s iconic fighters, a male human named Regdar, was [[ExecutiveMeddling commissioned specifically for the sake of appealing to the average RPG player (despite the fact that D&D already had an iconic fighter at the time)]]. In response, 3rd Edition's writers and artists ''loved'' portraying Regdar in all kinds of awful situations. So just as ''Pathfinder'' is the spiritual successor to ''D&D 3.5'', Valeros is the reincarnation of Regdar.
