"Sarkan" is actually derived from the Hungarian word for dragon, sárkány, so it's not really an example, especially as it's his wizard name, not his given name.

Crosswicking new trope
Added DiffLines:
* TechnicianPerformerTeamUp: [[TheArchmage The Dragon]] is a terrible magic teacher to Agnieszka at first because his magic is highly technical and rules-based, whereas hers is intuitive and improvisational. However, when they learn to [[AbilityMixing combine their powers]], with his structure supporting her adaptability, they can create magic that's much greater than the sum of its parts.

* AmbiguousSituation: Whatever happened between Queen Hanna and Prince Vasily of Rosya. At the beginning of the story, it's believed that the two ran off together willingly only to be captured by the Wood and held there. [[spoiler:Later, after "Queen Hanna" is rescued, she claims Vasily actually kidnapped her and dragged her there unwillingly. However, by that point "Queen Hanna" is just an EmptyShell being possessed by the Wood-queen, who is the only one that would benefit from a war between Polnya and Rosya, making the claim suspect. In the end, the truth is never revealed; the only thing for certain is that both Hanna and Vasily were likely corrupted by the Beastiare before their disappearance, so whatever did happen between them was likely conducted while they were not in their right minds]].
