In the end, she remembers that just a second too late, with it being left ambiguous whether [[StupidSacrifice she could have survived if she hadn't become trapped in the story of Sita and wanted to be a martyr]] or if fate is really that hard to change.]]

* AlphaAndBetaWolves: The main wolf pack have this sort of ranking with fictional language words for alpha, beta and omega wolves, and only some of them are related - two parents and their children, the father's sister, her mate (whose relationship with her is noted to be unusual) and two others. Downplayed in that they are treated by the narrative as a family, and barring some Deliberate Values Dissonance in how they treat Bran act like one instead of a group trying to one-up each other.
