History Characters / WarlordOfMars

* PrefersGoingBarefoor: Unlike other Res Martians who usually wear thick boots, Deja seems to shift between going barefoot and wearing sandals DependingOnTheArtist. In her own series, she tends to go everywhere without any footwear apart from occasional foot jewelry. Even her boots for colder climates are not common.

* ExposedToTheElements: Her usual attire provides no protection from dangerous Martian terrain or weather; she doesn’t even wear boots like her peers. It doesn’t seem to bother her at all. There are occasions where she dawns a pair of boots and a hooded cloak, but even that provides little protection from the elements.

* PrefersGoingBarefoor: Unlike other Res Martians, Deja tends to go everywhere without any footwear apart from occasional foot jewelry. She sometimes wears boots in colder climates, but not always.

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:Turns out that the Den Thorkar in power is merely a clone (one of several used by the real BigBad Ras Thavas) and the real one is living in exile]].

* AmbiguouslyBi: In one hand, it's established that she had descendants so she may have had a male consort. On the other thing, the first thing she says when she see [[DarkChick Phaidor]] is that she is [[MsFanservice "very pleasing"]] and gives her the GoGoEnslavement treatment by [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p15_21.jpg chaining her to her throne]].

* TheDarkChick: To Empress Camilla's court in the Worldscape. Phondari serves the position of fleet admiral and is the most genuinely friendly member of the FiveManBand. She also ends up being [[spoiler:the sole survivor among the bad guys at the end of ''Pathfinder: Worldscape'']].

* [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Proud Warrior Race Girl]]: Though her people are far more civilized than the Greens, they still put great deal of pride into their martial skill. Dejah herself made her first kill when she was just a little girl to save her mother Heru.

* KickTheDog: He forces Dejah, Thuvia and Phaidor into his harem and threatens to castrate Thuvia's father. Killing [[spoiler: Matai Shang in front of his daughter Phaidor]] would be a KickTheSonOfABitch moment if the latter didn't stop being evil.

%%* TheChick

* BrotherChuck: She hasn't appeared again in the comic after being rescued in the arc corresponding to the third book in the trilogy. Oddly enough, since she would become the main female lead in ''Thuvia of Mars'' the following book.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Dejah. [[ArmorPiercingSlap She does not approve of it]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is blue.

[[/folder]]

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: An downplayed example. In the source material, Phaidor is supposedly [[BaldWomen completely hairless]] just like the rest of her race and her blonde hair is in fact a wig. Here, she is depicted with blonde eyebrows, indicating that her hair is real. This also extends to [[spoiler:her Worldscape counterpart, where the Therns are portrayed as even more wild-looking and ditches wigs entirely, while she has blonde hair and looks practically indistinguishable from humans]].

%%* BadassBeard

* BadassBeard: Unusual for Red Martians anyways.

* NotSoDifferent: To Salensus Oll in the Dynamite comics. Talu would argue differently that he had greater ambitions than his uncle than just stay hidden within glass bubbles.

* BadassGay: She is revealed to be into women in ''Worldscape'' and she is a deadly First Born fighter.

* BadassNormal: Martian's limited psychic abilities and longevity aside, Dejah is about as strong as a human female on Earth, yet faced countless threats on her own like Green Martians, First-Born pirates, giant ice worms, vampires, assassins, cyborgs, white apes and all that, ''without super strength''.

* AdaptationalBadass: Really downplayed example mind you, since she is still an damsel in distress for the most part, but Phaidor ends up offing offing 2/3 of the BigBadTriumvirate in the comics; first, Salensus Oll with Dejah and Thuvia's help, for killing her father Matai Shang and trying to turn them into his concubines, and later Thurid by knocking him out of the ship. In the books, she only kills Thurid, while John [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps Oll effortlessly]].

* MsFanservice: This girl is pretty much topless, except for her gold ornaments which leave nothing to imagination.
