4[[folder: Grainne mac Conor]]
5!! Grainne mac Conor
6Ruler of the Dalriada in the Phedre and Imriel trilogies.
7----
8!!Tropes applying to Grainne:
9* ActionGirl: Like all Alban and Eiran women, Grainne is capable of defending herself in battle. In fact, as Phedre points out, Grainne is the most magnificent (and famous) ActionGirl of them all, as she leads her people to war and slays a lot of enemies during the battles of Bryn Gorrydum and Troyes-le-Mont.
10* AmicableExes: With Fergus, Conor's father. They're still friendly toward one another even years after they ended their affair.
11* BigGood: Is this throughout the series. In ''Kushiel's Justice'' it's more prominent, as she uses her authority as the Lady of Innisclan to summon the Maghuin Dhonn and try to negotiate with them about releasing Imriel from Morwen's charm.
12* BloodKnight: Grainne is as bloodthirsty as anyone in Alba-- she loves the thought of riding into battle to retake Bryn Gorrydum, and snaps at Eamonn's reluctance to send Innisclan to war (Eamonn being the more cautious of the two).
13* BlueBlood: Her family rule the Dalriada from Innisclan.
14* BoisterousBruiser: Grainne is very imposing-- her very appearance makes it obvious that she's a very capable fighter. She has a very bloodthirsty, excitable personality as well, especially when Phedre first meets her. This is later toned down a bit in the Imriel trilogy, emphasizing the maturity she has gained in the years since her brother's death.
15%%* {{Determinator}}
16* FieryRedhead: Grainne has flaming red hair, and a temperament to match it.
17* HotBlooded: Compared to her brother, very. While Eamonn is reluctant to charge into battle in a moment's notice, Grainne ''is'', and snaps at her brother when he disagrees with her about sending their clan to war in ''Kushiel's Dart''.
18* NiceGirl: Despite her fierce appearance and her blunt, BloodKnight culture, Grainne is a kind and generous woman at heart. Even when the Cullach Gorrym shun the Maghuin Dhonn, Grainne does not, treating fairly with their people and welcoming them in Dalriada territory. She realises, unlike the Cullach Gorrym, that not all of the Maghuin Dhonn are mischievous and dangerous and that the race should not be persecuted as a whole for something which happened centuries ago (which is also something that is shrouded in myth).
19* PolarOppositeTwins: Grainne is hot-headed and confrontational; Eamonn is more cautious and level-headed.
20* PregnantBadass: Goes into battle at Bryn Gorrydum and later in Terre D'Ange while pregnant with her son Eamonn. The knowledge of it shocks Ysandre, who is not accustomed to the fighting culture of Alba and Eire.
21* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is one of the most fair and level-headed leaders in the series. She is the only leader in Alba to treat willingly with the Maghuin Dhonn and maintains that they are not as terrible as they are rumoured to be.
22* RedOniBlueOni: Hot tempered Grainne is the red oni while the calmer more rational Eamonn is the blue oni.
23* SiblingsShareTheThrone: Shares the throne with her twin brother Eamonn. While their opposing personalities balance each other out, they also can create impasses when both twins dig in their heels.
24* SiblingYinYang: Eamonn and Grainne are the exact opposite of each other, which causes a lot of bickering between them. However, they work incredibly well as a team once the right balance is found between them, and for all their bickering they truly care for one another.

29Ruler of the Dalriada alongside his sister in ''Kushiel's Dart''. He is killed during the battle outside Troyes-le-Monte. Eamonn mac Grainne is named after him.

31!! Tropes applying to Eamonn:
32* BlueBlood: His family rules Dalriada from Innisclan.
33* CharacterDeath: Dies in battle at Troyes-le-Monte.
34* HotBlooded: Though not as much as Grainne.
35* GreenEyedMonster: He is jealous of anything Grainne has that he does not. Phedre deliberately incites this jealousy by sleeping with Grainne and not him.
36* PolarOppositeTwins: Grainne is hot-headed and confrontational; Eamonn is more cautious and level-headed.
37* {{Pride}}: Has a lot of it. He can't bear to not have anything which Grainne has, and is easily offended if anyone insults his courage or implies that he is a coward.
38* RedOniBlueOni: Hot tempered Grainne is the red oni while the calmer more rational Eamonn is the blue oni.
39* SiblingsShareTheThrone: Shares the throne with his twin sister Grainne. While their opposing personalities balance each other out, they also can create impasses when both twins dig in their heels.
40* SiblingYinYang: Eamonn and Grainne are the exact opposite of each other, which causes a lot of bickering between them. However, they work incredibly well as a team once the right balance is found between them, and for all their bickering they truly care for one another.

49!! Eamonn mac Grainne
50
51Son of Grainne mac Conor and Quintilius Rousse. Imriel befriends him when he comes to Terre d'Ange to be fostered briefly by House Montreve.
52----
53!!Tropes applying to Eamonn:
54* BadassBookworm: For all his 'barbarian' ways, Eamonn is deeply intrigued by the cultures of other nations, as well as philosophical questions and puzzles. He wants to know why things happen the way they do, why people act the way they do, and is determined to find the answers he seeks someday. He is especially fascinated by Tiberium, which has a scholarly reputation, and sets out to study at the University in Tiberium after his stay in Terre D'Ange. Much later, Eamonn returns to Dalriada a more well-educated and knowledgeable person, and resolves to begin an academy in Innisclan dedicated to scholarly pursuits.
55* BabiesEverAfter: By the time they attend Imriel and Sidonie's wedding at the end of Imriel's trilogy, Eamonn and Brigitta have an infant son who is already learning to crawl.
56* TheBigGuy: Is very tall and muscled, and also very easy-going.
57* BlueBlood: His family rules Dalriada from Innisclan.
58* BoisterousBruiser: Eamonn is tall and muscled, and very excitable at times.
59* DeadGuyJunior: He is named after his uncle Eamonn mac Conor, who was killed in battle against the Skaldi at Troyes-le-Mont.
60* DisappearedDad: His father is Quintilius Rousse, Admiral of the D'Angeline Royal Fleet. Eamonn knows this very well, and even seeks to meet him himself and get to know him.
61* HappilyMarried: To Brigitta, after the events of ''Kushiel's Justice''.
62* IWillFindYou: Falls in love with Brigitta, a Skaldic woman, in Imriel's trilogy, and after she leaves for Skaldia with her brother Eamonn vows to find her.
63* InSeriesNickname: Prince Barbarous
64* LoveAtFirstPunch: Brigitta is extremely prickly and ill-tempered, even toward Eamonn, but somehow Eamonn manages to fall in love with her, something which is eventually reciprocated.
65* NiceGuy: He is extremely easy-going, open-minded and fair.
66* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Eamonn is a perfect example of this trope, and proud of it.

72Son of Grainne with an unamed lover, later revealed to be of the Maghuin Dhonn. The third trilogy reveals that he later married [[spoiler: Alais de la Courcel]].
73----
74!! Tropes applying to Conor:
75* DisappearedDad: His father takes no part in his life at all. No one even knows who he is until Grainne admits that she had an affair with one of the Maghuin Dhonn, with Conor being the result of it.
