However, he usually has it open so that his face can be seen, setting him apart from The80s: [[https://www.starwars.com/news/how-prince-and-the-clash-inspired-the-look-of-lando-and-han-in-solo According to the likes of Toht Ra film's costume designers]], teenage Qi'ra's look was inspired by this era, particularly Music/{{Blondie|Band}} and the other Hylobons.

* KillerSpaceMonkey: As a Hylobon, he's[[NewWaveMusic new wave]] music. The over-sized jacket and skirt with leggings does have a particularly apelike alien.
80s vibe to it.
*MookLieutenant: He AbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder: Played with. After [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Han]] fled Corellia three years ago - reluctantly leaving her behind – she still has feelings for him, but seems unsure about rekindling their relationship, citing her commitment to the Crimson Dawn and the fact Han doesn't really know her anymore. [[spoiler: She ultimately chooses to abandon him, [[LoveCannotOvercome prioritizing her own ambitions above her affections for him]]]].
* AffablyEvil: Qi'ra generally seems like quite a nice young lady...as long as you're not in her way. But you don't get to be the right-hand woman of a ruthless crime lord by being ''nice''. See also AntiVillain.
* AloofDarkhairedGirl: More so after the TimeSkip. She maintains an air of cool sophistication much of the time, though she occasionally lowers her guard to show a more playful side (usually around Han).
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: She's subject to this In-universe post TimeSkip (as well as out-of-universe). Beckett views her as a manipulative, two-faced FemmeFatale who cares about her own survival first and foremost. Han thinks she's still the sweet, adventurous girl he grew up with on Corellia, TrappedInVillainy against her will. Vos sees her as his loyal and dependable lieutenant, pulled from the slums of Corellia and shaped into a deadly weapon for him to use. The only person who really knows Qi'ra's true nature is Qi'ra herself.
* {{Ambadassador}}: Much like [[{{Foil}} Leia]], Qi'ra takes on a diplomatic role, albeit unofficially. She prefers talking and solutions that don't lead to death, but is capable of holding her own should it come to combat.
* AmbiguousCriminalHistory: It's insinuated that she's done many illegal and unsavory things during her work with the Crimson Dawn syndicate, to the point she thinks her childhood sweetheart Han (who isn't exactly a model citizen himself) would instantly reject her if he knew about her record. She never goes into specifics, but it's definitely worse than picking pockets and stealing coaxium, given the Crimson Dawn are known for doing things like cutting out the tongues of those who oppose them, her boss likes stabbing people who displease him, and ''his'' boss is [[spoiler: ex-Sith Lord Darth Maul]].
* AmbiguouslyEvil: For most of ''Solo'', it's not entirely clear where Qi'ra's true loyalties lie or who she's going to side with. By the end of the movie [[spoiler: she chooses to stay a member of Crimson Dawn and lies in her report to Maul to cover up her and Han's role in Dryden's death. It remains ambiguous whether she wanted to leave with Han and felt she had to stay to keep them both safe from Crimson Dawn's retribution or if she wanted to stay a member of Crimson Dawn and was willing to take advantage of her position to protect Han]].
* AmbitionIsEvil: Her primary villainous trait is her unrelenting desire to get to the top, no matter who she has to step on along the way. [[spoiler:This directly leads her to abandon Han to take control of the Crimson Dawn.]]
* AntiVillain: For much of the film, she seems to be a NominalVillain; although she works directly under [[BigBad Vos]], she is quiteTheDragon, friendly and never does anything very overtly villainous onscreen. However, it's strongly implied she ''has'' done some pretty horrible things to get where she is [[spoiler: and she's revealed to care for [[ItsAllAboutMe her own ambition and survival above all else]] in the end]]. That all said, [[spoiler: she later organizes a massive conspiracy to destroy the Sith, and while her intentions and means of achieving this are tinged in selfishness, she does seem to consider them an evil that must be purged and she was still fairly affable throughout this]].
* ApologeticAttacker: She apologizes to [[spoiler: Han]] after disarming him and holding him at swordpoint.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: She's a lieutenant in a cut-throat criminal syndicate and she has the fighting skills to back it up.
* BadassCape: She dons a long, red and black one on Kessel, as part of her slaver disguise.
* BadassNormal: Come ''War of The Bounty Hunters'', Qi'ra has shown that [[spoiler: Maul]] has trained her well enough for her to wield Electro-Swords with enough proficiency for [[spoiler:Darth Vader]] to take note of her skill despite her not being Force-Sensitive. However, as he points out it's [[DeconstructedTrope ultimately not enough]] for her to be able to able match [[spoiler:Vader]] in a one-on-one fight.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: One of Qi'ra's childhood dreams was flying all over the galaxy. As an adult she gets her wish, butcommands only as part of her job with a criminal syndicate.
* BeingEvilSucks: {{Implied|trope}}. Qi'ra occasionally [[EvenEvilHasStandards expresses some shame]] in the things she's done, though to what extent is unclear, and in the end [[spoiler: her expression as she leaves Han to report to Maul appears to indicate [[WasItReallyWorthIt some regret]]. Given the kind of guy Maul is, it's a surprise things worked out as well as they did for her]].
* BigOlEyebrows: She has thick, expressive eyebrows, courtesy of Emilia Clarke.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: By the time she reappears in Han's life, her charming and friendly facade hides a more devious and calculating nature, even though deep down she still cares for Han. It's enough to convince him she's the same girl he grew up with, even though she herself warns him she's changed and not for the better.
* BitchUnderstudy: [[spoiler: A possible interpretation of her is that she's this to Vos, though it's [[AmbiguousSituation not entirely clear]] if she was always planning on betraying him]].
* BlatantLies:
** When she tells Han she'll be right behind him in the end. [[spoiler: The moment he leaves, she contacts Maul and then flies off to report to him, leaving Han behind]].
** Her claim about what happened aboard the ''First Light'' to [[spoiler: Maul]] zig-zags this, as some of it is actually true in a roundabout way: [[spoiler: Beckett ''did'' betray Dryden and steal the coaxium. She doesn't witness his death so she can [[PlausibleDeniability technically claim]] he took it and flew off. Dryden also was killed by ''a'' friend and ''a'' thief he tasked with stealing the coaxium...it just wasn't Beckett. Her claim that she "wasn't there" when Dryden was killed is straight up BlatantLies though]].
* BrainyBrunette: Not so much in terms of books, but from the beginning she is shown to be quick-witted, StreetSmart and good at manipulating people or events to favor her. Dryden also tends to rely on her [[TheConsigliere for advice]].
* BreakHerHeartToSaveHer: When she and Leia meet she tells her that one of the reasons she left Han was because she was heading down a path that would have corrupted him, and she felt that Han still had the potential to be a hero.
* BrokenBird: While she appears much more lighthearted in her earlier scenes, she's become decidedly hardened and more cynical by the time that she and Han reunite.
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Following the end of ''Solo'', it was unknown what became of Qi'ra. She reappears in ''War of the Bounty Hunters'' about thirteen years in-universe after she was last seen, still leading Crimson Dawn following Maul's demise and the events of ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: She starts out as a relatively innocent and quick-witted StreetUrchin who [[IJustWantToBeFree just wants to live a free life]] with her boyfriend. By the main timeline of ''Solo'', she's a much more [[DarkActionGirl ruthless and ambitious gangster]] who will [[TheUnfettered go to almost any lengths]] to survive.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: She has one with Han on Corellia; they grew up together and begin a romantic relationship in their late teens.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: She begins the film by backstabbing Lady Proxima to run off with Han. [[spoiler:She later seemingly betrays Han to Dryden, betrays Dryden to Han, then betrays Han for real by taking control of the Crimson Dawn instead of starting a new life with him, while also pinning Dryden's death and the stolen coaxium on Beckett (though in fairness, he screwed her and Han over first)]].
* CombatPragmatist: She's quite willing to use trickery, backstabbing and other underhanded tactics to win a fight. This may be justified in that she's a rather small woman (around 5'2") who lives in some pretty rough areas and regularly deals with very dangerous people.
* CombatStilettos: She wears boots with heels during the Kessel heist and the climatic duel with [[spoiler: Dryden Vos]], which are no detriment to her combat abilities.
* ConflictingLoyalty: As the film progresses, Qi'ra becomes increasingly torn between her loyalty to Vos and the Crimson Dawn, and her love for childhood sweetheart Han Solo, especially in the third act when Han and Vos's goals start to diverge. In the end [[spoiler: she chooses Crimson Dawn ([[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor eventually]]), though she kills Vos and frames Beckett [[PetTheDog to protect Han]]]].
* TheConsigliere: Acts as one to Dryden, trying to smooth over tense situations to work out a good deal for everyone and providing him with advice. At one point, he even says she's the person he trusts the most in the galaxy.
* ConsummateLiar: She's adept at deception, with only Beckett seeing her as untrustworthy. [[spoiler: If it weren't for Beckett, Dryden may have continued to believe she was still completely loyal to him and even then he still trusts her enough to lower his guard around her, which proves to be his undoing. In the span of about ten minutes, she convinces Han she'll be right behind him before confidently telling one lie after another to ''Maul'' and getting away with it (Maul does seem a little suspicious, but accepts her version of events for the time being)]].
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Like Han, she grew up on the streets and has no family to speak of.
* CorruptTheCutie: She seems like a [[UsedToBeASweetKid genuinely sweet girl]] at the start, who puts herself between Han and a blaster, dreams of gaining the freedom to explore the galaxy, and urges Han to leave her behind when she gets caught so he at least will be free. During the events of the three year TimeSkip, she has been thoroughly broken by her harsh life and is now a hardened criminal who [[ItsAllAboutMe mainly looks out for number one]].
* CoolSword: Wields two rapier-style Electro-Swords that house tiny thermal detonators in the hilt and can connect into a double-bladed weapon in ''War of The Bounty Hunters.''
* CynicismCatalyst: Her ThwartedEscape from Corellia was apparently this for her, as she became much more ruthless in order to survive; she's also given up her old dream of flying off into the stars with Han, dismissing it as an impossible fantasy.
* DamselOutOfDistress:
** A rather dark example. Early in the film, the last we see of Qi'ra is her being dragged off by the White Worms gang, with Han vowing to return and save her. Three years later, however, Han learns Qi'ra TookALevelInBadass and made her own way off of Corellia, though just how she achieved this is all but stated to be [[DarkAndTroubledPast pretty sordid]]. As mentioned under TheOneWhoMadeItOut, it's also [[PlayingWithATrope debatable]] as to how 'free' she actually is.
** On one occasion, Qi'ra is captured by Hondo Ohnaka and IG-88 on Ord Mantell and not only manages to pick her handcuffs to free herself, but also [[spoiler: manipulates the two bounty hunters into turning on each other before capturing ''them'' to claim the bounties on their heads]].
* DarkActionGirl: She's one of Dryden's top lieutenants and can more than hold her own in a fight. She practices a martial art called Teräs Käsi, and she's proficient with swords, [[spoiler:which she uses to defeat Vos in one-on-one combat in the film's climax]]. In ''War of the Bounty Hunters'' she implies that [[spoiler: Maul]] taught her, actually goes up against [[spoiler: ''Darth Vader'']] and puts up a decent fight; even he admits her skills are impressive, though she's still outmatched by him (as he lampshades when he immediately comments that he'd almost regret killing her. Almost).
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Besides being [[HarmfulToMinors an orphan forced to work as a thief for most of her childhood]], it's strongly implied that Qi'ra did a lot of morally questionable things in order to get to her high-ranking position in Crimson Dawn. Beckett warns Han not to trust her, Vos says that Han has no idea of what she's done in the past three years since they were separated and Qi'ra herself says that she doesn't want to tell Han about what she did, because [[InsecureLoveInterest she's afraid he'll reject her for it]].
* DatingCatwoman: Han's relationship with her is practically this, [[spoiler:but clearly, not even Qi'ra will let love get in the way of her own ambitions]].
* DeceasedFallGuyGambit: [[spoiler:When she reports to Maul at the end of the movie, she blames Vos's death entirely on Beckett, who has been killed by Han.]]
* DecompositeCharacter: She shares several traits with Bria Tharen from ''Literature/TheHanSoloTrilogy''. Like Bria, she is an OldFlame to Han Solo before he met Leia, who is involved in the criminal underworld and whose eventual [[spoiler: betrayal]] of Han contributes to his CynicismCatalyst. Unlike Bria, though, Qi'ra has no involvement with the Rebel Alliance [[spoiler: unless one counts her letting Han sell the coaxium to the Cloud Riders]], with that aspect of Bria's character seemingly being taken up by ''Film/RogueOne'''s [[Characters/StarWarsRogueOne Jyn Erso]].
* DerailingLoveInterests: Part of the movie focuses on the eventual ship sinking between her and Han.
* DistaffCounterpart: Her backstory shares some surprising similarities to Darth Vader's. Both grew up in slavery on planets that served as the asshole of the galaxy, eventually managed to escape said slavery, and [[spoiler:betray their closest friend to become TheDragon to a Sith Lord]].
* DoomedByCanon: Although she's not necessarily completely screwed, Qi'ra's relationship with Han is doomed, as Han is apparently single by the events of the original trilogy and eventually [[OfficialCouple gets with Leia]]. [[spoiler: Qi'ra survives the events of ''Solo'', but she sacrifices her relationship with Han to take Vos's place as head of the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate. Eventually, and after Maul's death, she became the leader of Crimson Dawn by the time of ''War of the Bounty Hunters''. However, seeing as she's made an enemy of Boba Fett for stealing Han Solo while frozen in carbonite, things aren't looking good for her. She manages to survive, however, and hears of the defeat of the Empire in quiet obscurity]].
* TheDragon: After being taken away (one could easily say "saved") from Corellia by Dryden Vos, she became his right hand woman.
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:After Vos's death, she becomes the public face of Crimson Dawn, only being commanded by [[TheManBehindTheMan Maul]]. After Maul's death in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'', however, she became ''the'' leader of Crimson Dawn, with no one commanding her from the shadows.]]
* DrivenToVillainy: At the beginning of ''Solo'', Qi'ra isn't a bad person and even after becoming Vos's lieutenant, she doesn't go out of her way to be malicious and is quite amicable much of the time. It's strongly indicated her villainous acts were initially committed out of a sense of self-preservation; she had a horrible upbringing on Corellia and likely saw joining the Crimson Dawn as a way out of her predicament. She outright tells Han at one point that "Everyone serves someone else", in which case, she is determined to serve someone closer to the top of that pecking order to ensure her own survival.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She seems to be more 'amoral' than really 'evil', but either way she has a definite soft spot for Han. She almost seems like her old self around him and admits that he is her "weakness". [[spoiler: She even kills Vos to save him and seems genuinely saddened when she betrays and abandons him]]. Han himself [[EvenEvilCanBeLoved still loves her]] and [[DoggedNiceGuy actively pursues her]] throughout the film. Of course, Han seemingly doesn't realise the full extent of her crimes and Qi'ra believes he wouldn't love her anymore if he did know.
* EvilBrit: She has a British accent and is a backstabbing SmugSnake.
* EvilerThanThou: [[spoiler:Qi'ra is so obsessed with being on top and her own self interests, that she'll outpace any bad guy who gets in the way. She ends up topping Hondo and IG-88, and takes out Dryden Vos, but she ends up on the ''other'' end of this trope when she's intimidated by ''Maul'']].
* TheFace: She serves as this for Beckett's crew during the coaxium heist on Kessel, demonstrating herself to be a skilled negotiator and manipulator.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:She goes from being a moral love interest into a power-hungry FemmeFatale, who willingly sides with Maul in the end]].
* FalseSoulmate: To Han. They're very much in love as teenagers on Corellia and share a dream of escaping the planet and travelling the galaxy together. Even after being separated for three years, Han never stopped loving her or trying to find ways to get back to her. By the time they meet again, however, Qi'ra has changed quite a bit and has different priorities, though Han doesn't see it (or refuses to). In the end [[spoiler: Qi'ra abandons Han to pursue a career in the Crimson Dawn; even before that their relationship was on the rocks, as Han initially assumed she was [[LoveInterestTraitor the one who betrayed him]] to Vos, while she was potentially [[ShootYourMate willing to kill him]] to save herself]]. Interestingly, as mentioned under {{Foil}} below, Qi'ra shares some traits with Leia, Han's SecondLove (and [[LastGirlWins future wife]]).
* FanservicePack: Not that she was unattractive before (seeing as she's played by Creator/EmiliaClarke), but when we first meet Qi'ra she has a rather modest and scruffy style, befitting her [[StreetUrchin current lifestyle]]. When we first see her after the TimeSkip, she's better groomed and wearing a much more revealing LittleBlackDress.
* FatalFlaw: Her need to be 'free' and [[AmbitionIsEvil in control]] above all else, regardless of the effect on others and [[ItsAllAboutMe even at the expense of those she cares for]]. She's hinted to have done some pretty nasty things to secure her position and will betray people who trust her in a heartbeat if she thinks someone else can offer her a better deal. In the end [[spoiler: she quite willingly sides with Crimson Dawn and pledges her allegiance to Maul, despite knowing of their atrocities and having the chance to start a different life with Han]]. Ironically, her choice means she will likely never be truly free as she desperately wants [[spoiler: and it may very well prove to be a 'fatal' flaw, as Maul does ''not'' sound pleased by how things have turned out]]. Subsequently, it also means few people are willing to trust her and she is left with a rapidly shrinking pool of allies.
* FemmeFatale: She's described as such in pre-release material and in the movie Beckett warns Han not to trust her. She's an [[MsFanservice attractive and flirtatious]] young woman, who frequently charms her way around people to serve her own interests, although her exact loyalties and motivations are unclear for much of the film. [[spoiler:Beckett's concerns are partially right; while she ultimately saves Han's life over Dryden's, Qi'ra pursues her own self-interests above all else and leaves Han behind.]] Lawrence Kasdan stated that he drew inspiration for the character from [[Film/OutOfThePast Kathie Moffat]], who is one of the {{Trope Codifier}}s for the FemmeFatale.
--> '''Emilia Clarke:''' "''She has a couple of guises, but essentially she is just fighting to stay alive. If you've got a really glamorous lady in a really sordid environment, you kind of know the glamor is hiding a few rough roads.''"
* FirstLove: She was the first love in Han's life, years before he met [[Characters/StarWarsLeiaOrgana Leia]].
* {{Foil}}: To Leia, the woman who would later become Han’s wife. Both Qi’ra and Leia are skilled negotiators who prefer words rather than violence but aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty if they have to. Both hold a huge influence in their respective organizations. [[spoiler:Both are also connected to a Sith Lord (Leia is Darth Vader’s daughter, while Qi’ra is Maul’s top lieutenant)]]. But while Leia hailed from a royalty family on Alderaan, Qi’ra grew up in the slums of Corellia. Leia uses her charisma to [[TheParagon inspire loyalty and hope for others]], while Qi’ra uses hers to [[ManipulativeBitch manipulate others into doing what she wants or provide a false sense of security to her targets before stabbing them in the back.]] Leia also starts out cold toward Han when they first met but [[DefrostingIceQueen warms up and eventually falls in love with him]] throughout their adventures, while Qi’ra starts out being Han’s lover whom he cared very much about, but circumstances eventually force them apart. [[LoveCannotOvercome Qi'ra's new lifestyle trumps over her personal attachment to Han, and she chooses to embrace her new life rather than run away with him.]]
* ForWantOfANail: If she'd managed to get past the checkpoint on Corellia along with Han, her life might've turned out very differently, as would several events in ''Solo'' (given that one of the main reasons Han was looking for work with the Crimson Dawn in the first place was to get his own ship and come back to Corellia for her).
* FromNobodyToNightmare: She goes from an orphaned street kid to the right-hand woman of a feared crime lord [[spoiler: and eventually takes over the syndicate herself]].
* GirlyBruiser: Qi'ra has quite a feminine dress sense, even wearing high heels, jewelry and make-up on missions (and in advertising for ''Solo'', she's heavily associated with [[ColorMotif pink and purple]]). She's also pretty [[DarkActionGirl badass]] and not afraid to get her hands dirty.
* GoodGirlGoneBad: She started out as a kind-hearted orphan but [[CynicismCatalyst goes through enough crap]] that she ends up a manipulative and self-serving FemmeFatale.
* HadToBeSharp: Growing up an orphan in the [[WrongSideOfTheTracks worst]] [[WretchedHive parts]] of Corellia, she had to learn to be quick-witted and pragmatic in order to survive. She insinuates that the only reason she lasted so long with the Crimson Dawn is because she became willing to do [[IDidWhatIHadToDo whatever was necessary]] to 'stay in the game', leaving little room for things like sentimentality and friendship.
* HappyPlace: She tells Han that to keep her spirits up she'd imagine herself flying across the galaxy with him like they used to talk about on Corellia.
-->"Smile. That's the word. Whenever I imagined myself off with you on some adventure, it always made me smile."
* HatedHometown: She is eager to escape from [[ViceCity Coronet City]] and by extension Corellia in its entirety, and laughs along with Dryden when he refers to her homeplanet as a "putrid sewer". Considering what her life was like there, one can hardly blame her.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler:She changes her allegiance several times in the movie, most of them in the span of 10 minutes. One moment she betrays Han, and then she sides with him, only to turn on him again to side with Maul.]]
* HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with.]] When she introduces Han to her boss, she makes a point of telling Dryden that she and Han "grew up together on Corellia", leaving out the part where they were lovers who once planned to run away together. [[spoiler: Dryden eventually figures out that they have romantic feelings for each other, telling Qi'ra that Han is her [[LoveIsAWeakness "weakness"]] and tries to get her to kill him as a show of loyalty after Han double-crosses him]].
* HeroicSacrifice: To an extent. At the start of the film, Qi'ra gets caught while trying to escape from Corellia and begs Han to run for it, knowing there's nothing he can do and [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy not wanting him to be caught too]].
* HighHeelFaceTurn: ZigZagged. She clearly still has romantic feelings for [[TheHero Han]] [[spoiler: and turns on Vos to save him...but she ultimately leaves him behind to secure her own position as a crime boss rather than join him to start a new life]].
* IAmVeryBritish: Especially when voiced by Olivia Hack (in ''Forces of Destiny'').
* IDidWhatIHadToDo:
** Tells Han that she did what she had to do to survive after leaving Corellia. She doesn't elaborate in the movie but the novelization mentioned she killed guards while trying to escape Dryden.
** After killing [[spoiler: Dryden Vos]], she states "I had to do it". It's unclear whether she's trying to reassure Han, herself, or possibly both.
* IJustWantToBeFree: In the beginning of the movie, she excitedly talks about how once she and Han escape Corellia, they'll never be controlled by anyone again. [[spoiler:And if that means betraying Han so she can be the one ''in'' control, then that's what it takes. Ironically, by becoming the new leader of the Crimson Dawn, she now answers directly to Maul, which means she can never be free again for as long as he lives. However, she ends up outliving Maul and her leadership position seemingly has no more strings attached.]]
* ImprobableAge: Qi'ra is one of the highest-ranking lieutenants in Crimson Dawn by the time she's in her early twenties and was eighteen, at the youngest, when she joined the organization. It makes you wonder just what the hell she did to rise through the ranks that quickly.
* InnocentBlueEyes: She has big blue eyes that give her a veneer of demureness and innocence, [[SubvertedTrope but she's actually anything but]].
* InsecureLoveInterest: She has shades of being one towards Han after they're reunited. Because of all the awful things she did while working for Crimson Dawn, she thinks Han wouldn't love her anymore if he knew the truth and that he's too good a person for someone like her. It's partly because of this that she's reluctant to pick up where they left off [[spoiler: and it's further implied this part of the reason she leaves him in the end]].
-->'''Han:''' Nothing's gonna change the way I'm looking at you right now...
-->'''Qi'ra:''' You don't know that, you don't know what I've done...''[[ShutUpKiss [Han kisses her]]]''
* InTheBack: How she takes down [[spoiler: Quay Tolsite]] during the Kessel heist.
* {{Irony}}: She tells Han she knows he's actually not a bad person deep down, but her treatment of him is implied to be [[TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest one of the reasons]] Han TookALevelInJerkass to become a ruthless smuggler.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Although she does display some altruistic behavior throughout ''Solo'', she's primarily concerned with her own interests first and foremost. This is likely due to being raised in the dog-eat-dog slums of Coronet City; after losing [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Han]] she had no one who truly cared about her and had to rely entirely on herself to get by.
-->"It's what we learned on the street, Han; someone falls, you keep running. It's how you stay alive."
* JustAGangster: Han repeatedly suggests she leave Crimson Dawn and start a new life with him, but she seems reluctant, also hinting that she cannot just up and leave because of Vos. [[spoiler: After she kills Vos, she gives Han the impression she's going to take him up on his offer...but it turns out she was lying to get him out of the way before cozying up to Maul to secure her position]].
* KlingonPromotion: [[spoiler: At the end of ''Solo'', she kills Vos and is given his job by Maul. However, she doesn't let slip that ''she'' killed Vos, instead framing Beckett for it]].
* LadyInAPowerSuit: She wears a black pantsuit in the climax of ''Solo'', where she [[spoiler: kills Vos and takes his place as head of the syndicate]].
* LadyOfWar: She's a DarkActionGirl who usually has a cool and collected demeanour and dresses quite elegantly.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:She's done a lot of bad things, and after betraying Han for the last time, she finds herself forced into submission by ''Maul''. However, she ended up outliving him and became Crimson Dawn's new boss]].
* LittleBlackDress: She is seen wearing one while at Dryden's mobile palace, a rare case of "Earth clothing" in ''Star Wars''.
* LoveInterestTraitor: [[spoiler:Downplayed. While she does abandon Han at the end to become leader of the Crimson Dawn, she never directly antagonizes him and even lies to protect him from her new boss, Maul.]]
* LoveIsAWeakness: She seems to believe this [[CharacterDevelopment by the end]], agreeing with Vos'guards.
assessment that [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Han]] is her weakness. [[spoiler: This likely factors into her decision to ditch Han to secure her position in Crimson Dawn]].
*NeckSnap: [[spoiler:In MadeASlave: The novelization reveals that around a year after her failed escape attempt, Lady Proxima sold Qi'ra to a slave dealer named Sarkin Enneb, who later sold her to Dryden Vos. Of course, under Lady Proxima she wasn't much more than a slave, either.
* MakeUpIsEvil: She tends to wear heavier make-up after joining the{{Novelization}}, [[TheSyndicate Crimson Dawn]].
* ManipulativeBitch: Qi'ra can be very persuasive when she wants to and is good at [[TheCharmer charming]] her way around people to get what she wants. See also FemmeFatale.
* MeaningfulName: Qi'ra is pronounced the same as Kira, which can be a variation of the Irish name Kiara/Ciara, meaning "dark-haired" or "little dark one". Kira is also possibly the feminine Russian form of the Greek name Cyrus, meaning "ruler" - both of these meanings seem quite appropriate for Qi'ra, a short, morally ambiguous brunette who helps run a crime syndicate. Additionally, her name is potentially a ShoutOut to Akira Kurosawa.
* MsFanservice: She is made for this trope due to being a very beautiful woman. Considering the fact that she is portrayed by Creator/EmiliaClarke, it’s unsurprising that she qualifies as this. Several of her outfits have low necklines or are very form-fitting; special mention should go to her LittleBlackDress, which shows off a fair bit of skin.
* MyNaymeIs: Her name is pronounced "Kira", but spelled "Qi'ra".
* MythologyGag: She borrows traits from Bria Tharen from ''Literature/TheHanSoloTrilogy''.
* NearVillainVictory: A rare AntiHero example of this trope, she nearly has defeated [[spoiler: Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader by trapping them in the Fermata Cage on the Amaxine Station via tricking them into thinking there's a Sith Lord trapped inside, and was almost on her way to defeat the Empire. However, the Knights of Ren ruined it by firing upon the cage and freeing the Sith Lords from their prison in order to become servants to them. Palpatine even notes this upon being freed.]]
-->'''[[spoiler: Emperor Palpatine]]:''' [[LampshadeHanging Oh, Qi'ra...so close...and yet '''SO FAR''']].
* NobleTopEnforcer: Has shades of this role towards Dryden Vos. It's downplayed in the sense that she still goes along with his crimes and her primary goal is helping herself, but Qi'ra comes across as a lot more [[AffablyEvil benevolent]] and a lot less AxCrazy than Dryden. This is most clearly demonstrated in the scene where Han and Beckett pitch the Kessel heist to Dryden; Qi'ra makes efforts to soothe her boss' anger over the crew's previous failure and suggests ideas to make the heist a viable plan. [[spoiler:When it comes down to it, she also kills Dryden over Han, although she [[RedemptionRejection doesn't leave Crimson Dawn either]]]].
* NoodleIncident: Whatever it was she did to become Vos's most trusted lieutenant in just three years.
* NothingIsScarier:
** We never find out what Lady Proxima did to Qi'ra after catching her trying to escape, but it probably wasn't pleasant. According to the novelization, she eventually [[MadeASlave sold her to a slave dealer]], which was how she met Dryden Vos.
** As mentioned under NoodleIncident, we don't find out the details of what she did to survive and earn Vos' favor during the TimeSkip, but it's telling that both Qi'ra and Vos himself think Han would be shocked if he knew.
* NotMeThisTime: [[spoiler: In the climax, when Dryden reveals he knows about Han double-crossing him, Han initially assumes Qi'ra told him. However, she's just as shocked as him and it's soon revealed that it was ''Beckett'' who snitched on him]].
* NumberTwo: Dryden Vos calls her his "top lieutenant"; in the film itself we see her accompanying him to meetings to act as TheConsigliere and going on the Kessel heist at his command to ensure it goes smoothly. She appears to have a lot of influence within the Crimson Dawn [[spoiler: especially considering she is known to Maul, the overarching leader, and is able to assume Vos' position with little fuss]].
* OfficialCouple: With Han at the beginning of ''Solo''. They get back together in the middle of the film, [[DoomedByCanon but we know it won't last]].
* OhCrap:
** Her reaction when Han tries driving their landspeeder sideways through a narrow alley to escape the White Worms; she correctly predicts they won't fit.
** Has a subtle yet noticeable moment of this at the end, when [[spoiler: Maul [[IntimidationDemonstration ignites his lightsaber in front of her]] and tells her they'll be "working much more closely from now on"]]. There's another layer to this: [[spoiler: The idea we get from Han in ''A New Hope'' is that the galaxy considers Force users, who as far as they knew were all Jedi, to be extinct at the end of the Clone Wars (to the point that some believe them to be a myth), Qi'ra herself being no exception. So when she finds out her boss is a Force-user, but almost certainly the complete opposite of a Jedi, it's pretty clear that it's most certainly not a "hokey religion" and she's trapped in that world forever.]]
* OldFlame: She was Han Solo's first love before they were unfortunately separated, and the two of them reconnected by accident three years later.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: She's [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder casual acquaintances]] with [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsForcesOfDestiny Hondo and IG-88]], she's a childhood friend of Han's and meets Chewbacca and Lando, and becomes [[spoiler:TheDragon to Maul]]. ''War of the Bounty Hunters'' also reveals she [[spoiler:encounters Boba Fett, she having temporarily stolen the frozen Han Solo from him]] and even added [[spoiler:Ren and the Knights of Ren to her roster]]. [[note]] Who themselves would later meet her former lover's son Ben and the Empire's successor state, The First Order. [[/note]]
* OneHeadShorter: Than her boss, Dryden Vos. At 5'2", Qi'ra is a foot shorter than Vos, barely coming up to his shoulder even when she's in heels.
* TheOneWhoMadeItOut: {{Subverted|Trope}}. When she and Han meet for the first time since his escape from Corellia, he asks her how she made it out. She replies "I didn't". It's heavily implied she 'got out' by pledging her services to [[BigBad Dryden Vos]] and is clearly under his command now. She may be better off now than she was in the slums of Corellia, [[GildedCage but she isn't free]].
* OnlyFriend: She appeared to be Han's only companion as they were growing up on Corellia, in addition to being his FirstLove. He later [[SubvertedTrope makes other friends]] like Chewbacca and Lando [[spoiler: and finds out the hard way that Qi'ra is no longer someone he can trust]].
* OnlyOneName: Her name is just Qi'ra. This is presumably because she's an orphaned scrumrat, the same as Han.
* OpportunisticBastard: Qi'ra tends to side with whoever she thinks will offer her the best chance of survival and prosperity. Notably [[spoiler: she chooses to install herself as Maul's new lieutenant after betraying and killing Dryden Vos]].
* OrphansOrdeal: Qi'ra had a rough upbringing on the streets of Coronet City, turning to crime in order to survive. Han was apparently her only real friend during this time and after they're separated, she has no one.
* OutlawCouple: With Han on Corellia, with the two mostly carrying out scams and petty thievery for the White Worms and eventually making a break for it with stolen coaxium. They also briefly become this again for the coaxium heist on Kessel.
* OutOfTheFryingPan: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Solo'', she's killed Dryden Vos... only for Maul, who's much worse in every regard than Vos could ever hope to be, to promptly summon her to Dathomir.]]
* PetTheDog:
** [[spoiler:Even though she betrays Han to serve Maul at the end, she puts all of the blame for the climax on Beckett and allows Han to get away scot-free.]]
** She takes the opportunity to slip Han back his lucky dice on Kessel...by punching him in the stomach.
** [[spoiler: She ultimately lets Han give the coaxium to the Cloud Riders, even though keeping it to hand over to Maul would probably be better for her]].
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Rather like [[{{Foil}} Leia]], Qi'ra is only about 5'2" but can still kick ass when she has to.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: [[spoiler: "It's what I was taught. Find your opponent's weakness and use it. And today...[[TheStarscream I'm your's]]"]].
* PrettyInMink: She wears a fur stole when she goes to meet Lando and some of her jackets are lined with fur on the inside. May overlap with FurAndLoathing, considering she's TheDragon and a FemmeFatale, though at this point in the film, she's [[AntiVillain pretty amicable]]. And she does look very fabulous in it.
* PunctuationShaker: Her name has an apostrophe dropped in the middle of it, although it doesn't seem to affect the pronunciation (it's pronounced the same as "Kira").
* TheQueenpin: [[spoiler: By the end of ''Solo'', she's become the new head of the Crimson Dawn, though she's not ''quite'' the true leader as she answers directly to [[GreaterScopeVillain Maul]]. It's played completely straight by the events of ''War of the Bounty Hunter''; Maul is long-dead by this point and Qi'ra is fully in command of the organization]].
* RagsToRiches: During the three year time skip, she goes from an impoverished scrumrat trying to survive the slums of Corellia, to living the high-life on a fancy star yacht. However, it's clear she's paid [[FromNobodyToNightmare a heavy]] [[GildedCage price]] for her wealth.
* RankUp:
** At the end of ''Most Wanted'', she gets promoted to Head Girl in the White Worms gang.
** During the three year {{time skip}} in ''Solo'', she manages to become Dryden Vos's most trusted lieutenant in the Crimson Dawn. And then at the end of the film, she [[spoiler: gets herself promoted to Vos's old job, serving directly under Maul, the head of the syndicate]].
** [[spoiler:After Maul's death in ''Rebels'', she is now at the top of the syndicate's chain of command.]]
* RecruitedFromTheGutter: Dryden Vos more or less 'saved' her from a life of poverty in Corellia's slums and gave her a high-ranking position within the Crimson Dawn. As a result, she is loyal to him and his syndicate [[spoiler: until she sees an opportunity to [[KlingonPromotion take his place]], that is]]. Previously, Lady Proxima also reminded Qi'ra that she "pulled [her] out of" the Silo, a particularly dire part of Coronet City where she'd been living prior to being recruited by the White Worms.
* RecurringElement: She's the fifth white brunette female lead in the series, and the third of those to be portrayed by a British actress. She's also the third lead main character to have only one name, after Rey and Finn.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: While she doesn't have them herself, [[spoiler: the glow of Maul's saber in the hologram reflects on her eyes, giving them a red color. She's also now become the new leader of Crimson Dawn.]]
* RedemptionRejection: [[spoiler:Han extends an offer for her to join him to start a new life, but she refuses out of her lust for power. It's also possible she believes she's [[IveComeTooFar done too much]] to give up her position now]].
* RedHerringMole: [[spoiler: It's implied that she is secretly reporting the activities of Beckett's crew to Dryden, given her loyalty to him and the fact he sends her to Kessel specifically to keep an eye on things. However, in the climax it's revealed thatEnfys Nest breaks Gremm's neck Beckett was actually TheMole all along, while Qi'ra herself apparently intended to keep quiet about Han teaming up with the Cloud Riders]].
* RestrainingBolt: In the novelization, L3 says she must have some kind of psychological one that causes her to go back to Dryden Vos even though he sent her to Kessel unsupervised.
* SavedByCanon: [[spoiler: The ''War of the Bounty Hunters'' comic confirms she outlived Maul, as she's still alive and running the Crimson Dawn around the time of ''The Empire Strikes Back'']].
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Gender-flipped version; she's the sharp-witted, pragmatic Savvy Girl to the upbeat and headstrong Han's Energetic Guy.
* SayMyName: When she's captured by Proxima's goons, Han desperately screams her name as she's dragged away, while she begs him to run.
* SciFiBobHaircut: Her initial hairstyle, though it's a bit softer and messier than most examples. By the time she meets Han again, [[ExpositoryHairstyleChange she's grown her hair out]].
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Despite having worked her way up to 'Head Girl' inbattle.the White Worms gang (quite a high position), she despises her life with them and attempts to escape with Han.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: Her black party dress.
* SexySlitDress: Her black party dress has splits that show a bit of her nice legs.
* ShadowArchetype: She and Han are quite similar in many ways, the main difference being that Qi'ra actively embraces all Han's worst traits while downplaying his positive qualities, namely greed, self-centeredness, disloyalty, cynicism and ruthlessness. She represents the kind of person Han could potentially have become if he didn't decide to help his friends and the Rebellion over his own self-interests. While Han eventually comes to believe in the Rebels' cause and fights to free the galaxy from tyranny, Qi'ra believes there's only 'the game', in which the objective is merely to stay in it as long as possible through whatever means necessary. She gives up freedom for power, usually only helps others if there's something in it for her and - most crucially - believes she cannot change and is stuck in this life forever.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Holy ''Ashla'' does she look nice at Dryden's cocktail party.
* SheFu: When taking out [[spoiler: Quay Tolsite]] and during her fight with [[spoiler: Han and Vos]], she does a few acrobatic flips and spins. This may be justified in that she practices Teräs Käsi, a martial art specifically tailored to fighting Jedi.
* ShootYourMate: After Vos catches her lying to him about Han's intentions [[spoiler: she ''herself'' suggests killing Han to prove her loyalty to him. However, due to the subsequent events, we don't actually see if she would really have gone through with it to save her own skin, and she actually ends up [[TheStarscream killing Vos]] instead]].
* ShoutOut: Her name seems to derived from that of Creator/AkiraKurosawa, a major influence on George Lucas during the making of ''Star Wars'' (it's pronounced the same as [[MyNaymeIs Kira, just spelt differently]]). Kira was also Rey's name in the original script for ''The Force Awakens''.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She all but states this is the reason she loves Han; despite his attempts to come off as a scoundrel, she sees that he's really a courageous, loyal and goodhearted person despite everything that's happened to him. Unfortunately, it's precisely because of this she also thinks [[LoveCannotOvercome they can't be together anymore]].
* SignificantWardrobeShift: At the beginning when she's a street thief on Corellia, she's wearing a slightly scruffy outfit not unlike what a teenage girl on Earth might wear. Three years later, after she's joined the Crimson Dawn, she's better groomed and wears more elegant and expensive-looking gowns and pantsuits, showing how she has changed to move up in the world from her lowly beginnings.
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Has shades of this following the TimeSkip, although it's [[DarkAndTroubledPast not just growing up]] that made her cynical. This is used to contrast her against the more idealistic Han, although she's never unnecessarily harsh about his outlook.
--> '''Han Solo:''' We're gonna win.
--> '''Qi'ra:''' It's not that kind of game, Han. The object is not to win, but to stay in it as long as you can.
* SlaveBrand: She has the Crimson Dawn symbol iron-branded on her arm and the back of her neck.
* SmugSnake: [[spoiler: Her lust for power makes her confident enough to eventually put herself in service to ''Darth Maul'', after getting Vos out of the way. However, Maul swiftly reminds her of just who she's dealing with, much to her chagrin]].
* SocialClimber: Of the [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder backstabbing]] kind; she weasels her way up the ranks of the criminal underworld by making herself useful and/or endearing to the right people, then cuts them loose or screws them over the moment she has everything she wants from them. She's pretty good at it, considering that in just three years she's helping run one of the most powerful criminal syndicates in the galaxy.
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: She claims to Maul to be the only survivor of the Crimson Dawn personnel aboard the ''First Light'' following the climax. She doesn't mention Han and Chewie to protect them and also conveniently leaves out the part where ''she'' killed Vos]].
* StarcrossedLovers: With Han. When they try to escape from Corellia together, she is captured and urges him to flee, and they only meet again by chance three years later, by which point Qi'ra is sworn into the service of Dryden Vos and can't just run off with Han without endangering them both. [[spoiler: By the time they could actually be together due to Qi'ra killing Vos, she ends up choosing Crimson Dawn over Han and flies away without him]].
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:She's Dryden Vos's most trusted lieutenant. She eventually kills him and takes his place, serving Maul. It's not clear if she had been considering this all along, but she quickly [[OpportunisticBastard grabs the opportunity when it arises]]]].
* StreetSmart: She grew up on the streets on Coronet City and is quite capable of looking after herself. She's never had a formal education, but she's still intelligent, quick on her feet, resourceful and usually a good judge of character. ''Most Wanted'' and deleted scenes in ''Solo'' also emphasize that she knows lots of shortcuts, hiding places and alternate routes around her home city. Her smarts have enabled her to survive and adapt to life in organized crime.
* StreetUrchin: Started out as one alongside Han.
* StylishProtectionGear: Even the more practical outfits she wears during and after the Kessel heist are very stylish and elegant, right down to her gun holster.
* SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome: A singular movie TimeSkip example; she goes from being an innocent LoveInterest orphan to a backstabbing and power-hungry FemmeFatale the next time she is seen. There are hints given throughout ''Solo'' as to how and why this happened, though the details remain murky, both because Qi'ra feels too ashamed to tell Han, and to maintain an air of mystery and ambiguity to her.
* SympathyForTheHero: She regards Han with a great deal of sympathy, at one point even telling him that despite what he thinks, he is "[[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre one of the good guys]]". She seems to view his optimism and idealism as endearing, yet ultimately unrealistic, and she is genuinely happy he managed to gain his freedom. As he's on the receiving end of most of her PetTheDog moments, he's also a MoralityPet to her.
* ThatWomanIsDead: It becomes increasingly clear that the sweet and relatively moral FirstLove who was arrested and taken away from Han on Corellia died a long time ago.
* ThwartedEscape: At the beginning of ''Solo'', she and Han make a daring escape across Coronet City with a stolen vial of coaxium, hoping to bribe their way past an Imperial checkpoint and start a new life. Unfortunately, just as she's about to step through the gateway after her boyfriend, Lady Proxima's {{Mook}}s snatch Qi'ra and the Imperial officer sounds the alarm, leaving Han [[SeparatedByTheWall trapped on the other side of the gate]] and unable to reach Qi'ra. The novelization also reveals she made a number of failed attempts to escape from Dryden Vos, until he eventually offered her a position within the Crimson Dawn, he having been impressed by her skills and the lengths she was willing to go.
* TookALevelInBadass: In the span of three years, she goes from a Corellian petty criminal, to a top lieutenant in one of the biggest criminal syndicates in the galaxy, [[spoiler: and then to ''the leader'' of said syndicate]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: The three years of sole survival on both [[WretchedHive Corellia]] and with the Crimson Dawn has made her [[ItsAllAboutMe selfishly]] [[AmbitionIsEvil power-hungry]] and [[ManipulativeBitch deceptive]]. It should be noted that this [[BitchInSheepsClothing isn't immediately obvious]].
* TragicDream: She tells Han that after they got separated, to comfort herself she'd imagine she was off on an adventure with him in the ship they always talked about owning. [[spoiler: By the end of the film, she could possibly have a chance to make the dream come true, as Han asks her to come with him...but chooses instead to carry on with her criminal lifestyle, ending that possibility forever]].
* TragicKeepsake: Han's dice. He gave them to her as they were attempting to flee Corellia, only for her to be captured and separated from him. She kept the dice with her for three years and they were likely a constant reminder of what she'd lost (both Han and her shot at freedom). She eventually returns them to Han.
* TragicVillain: It's strongly implied she started out as this. Qi'ra was never originally interested in rising up the ranks of the criminal underworld, only turning to crime to survive due to [[OrphansOrdeal her circumstances]], while dreaming of a better life. After a few years though, she's completely given up on most of her childhood dreams of freedom and now just does whatever she can to survive. Part of her seems very much aware that she's done some truly horrible things, but clearly she feels [[IveComeTooFar it's too late]] to do anything but stick to her path.
* TrappedInVillainy: She seems to be a case of this at first, especially given Vos' statement that "[[ResignationsNotAccepted Once you're part of Crimson Dawn, you can't leave]]". Han, at the least, seems to view it this way. However, given certain implications and especially her actions at the end of the film, it's implied to be a [[PlayingWithATrope bit more complicated than that]]. [[spoiler: Namely, Qi'ra had a perfect opportunity to leave Crimson Dawn after killing Vos (or as L3-37 notes in the novelization, she could've also done a runner during the Kessel heist, she having been sent there unsupervised), but she instead willingly chooses to stay and secure her position within the syndicate, implying she's now more interested in [[AmbitionIsEvil power]] than flying off into the sunset with Han]].
* UnderestimatingBadassery: She severely underestimates [[spoiler:Darth Vader]]; while everyone else is freaking out she remain calm and confident, demands he pay her what she's owed, and believes her training [[spoiler:under Dryden and Maul]] will be enough for her to match him in a fight. [[spoiler:Vader]] quickly proves her wrong [[spoiler:and she's lucky he gets distracted by Luke's arrival or she'd be toast]]. ''Crimson Reign'' and ''Hidden Empire'' shows she underestimates Emperor Palaptine himself, though she nearly won against him and Vader/Anakin, [[spoiler:only for the Knights of Ren to betray her and destroy the Fermata Cage.]]
* TheUnfettered: She appears willing to do whatever she feels is necessary to survive, even if that means [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder screwing over]] her so-called friends; it's also insinuated she's committed a long line of serious crimes to get ahead. She's not ''entirely'' comfortable with this, however.
* UnkemptBeauty: Teenage Qi'ra has messy hair and stained clothing, but she's still attractive (especially considering she's played by Emilia Clarke). By the time she's in her twenties, she looks [[SheCleansUpNicely much cleaner and more glamorous]].
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Her war against Palpatine and his Empire involving the Fermata Cage would allow the Scourge to infect various droids across the Galaxy in ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarkDroids Dark Droids]]''.
* VillainousFriendship: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged]] with Dryden Vos. They seem quite amicable and Vos openly calls her the person he trusts most in the world, but Qi'ra also seems uncomfortable with his [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace closeness]] to her; it's also unclear if she's just [[FalseFriend playing up their intimacy]] to secure her position. [[spoiler: After killing Vos, Qi'ra seems a bit shaken and states "[[IDidWhatIIHadToDo I had to do it]]", muddying the waters further]].
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: [[spoiler: She duels Vos to the death to protect Han]].
* WaifFu: Despite being quite petite, she's skilled with martial arts and swords, and manages to defeat [[spoiler: Han and Vos]], both of whom are much taller and more physically imposing. In fairness, however, neither of them were really expecting her to attack them, which she likely [[ManipulativeBitch uses to her advantage]]. During the heist on Kessel, she notably charms her way around a Pyke Syndicate member to get him alone and then strikes once [[InTheBack his back is turned]], so it seems likely she frequently uses [[FemmeFatale trickery and her apparent delicateness]] to overcome opponents.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler: When Qi'ra reports Dryden's death and the missing coaxium to Maul, she pins both on Beckett but notably omits any mention of Han and Chewie being involved, demonstrating that while she is a self-serving opportunist, she has enough remaining decency not to sell out her childhood love and his best friend. As she's flying away alone in the ''First Light'', she can also be seen staring sadly at Han back on the ground, indicating she's not completely happy about her choices]].
* WomanOfWealthAndTaste: After joining Crimson Dawn, Qi'ra has altered her style to be more elegant and classy, wearing [[SimpleYetOpulent simple but expensive-looking]] jackets, gowns, suits and so on, paired with [[GoldMakesEverythingShiny gold jewellery]]. She fits right in with the other crims on the ''First Light''.
* WreckedWeapon: A downplayed variant where it actually works to the wielder's advantage. During her fight with [[spoiler: Dryden]], he cleaves her sword in two with a vibro-dagger, but this causes the dagger to become stuck in the blade. Qi'ra is able to disarm him and then [[HoistByHisOwnPetard stabs him in the chest with his dagger]] on the end of her own weapon.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Han briefly tries to convince her of this in the climax [[spoiler: when she has him at her mercy]], saying he knows who she really is beyond her role as a Crimson Dawn lieutenant. [[spoiler: She ends up turning on Dryden to save Han...but she ultimately rejects his offer to leave with him and start over, instead securing her ascension to Maul's second-in-command]].
* YouDidEverythingYouCould: Upon being reunited with Han, she reassures him he did the right thing by leaving her behind on Corellia when he expresses regret over it.
-->'''Han:''' That day...Sometimes, a lot of times, I think if...
-->'''Qi'ra:''' If you'd have stayed, they would've killed you. I'm glad you got out.
* YouDoNotWantToKnow: PlayedForDrama. She is deliberately vague about what her life has been like since she and Han were separated, in particular around what she had to do to survive. At one point, she says to Han that she wants to tell him everything "but I know if I do you won't look at me the same."
* YoungAndInCharge: At just 21, she's second-in-command to crime lord Dryden Vos [[spoiler: and takes his place by the end of ''Solo'']]. [[spoiler:After Maul's death at the hands of Obi-Wan, she remains unopposed in Crimson Dawn's leadership hierarchy.]]
* FirstNameBasis: Vos calls him by his first name rather than his surname.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a scar across his face.
* KillerSpaceMonkey: As a Hylobon, he's
*
* AffablyEvil: Qi'ra generally seems like quite a nice young lady...as long as you're not in her way. But you don't get to be the right-hand woman of a ruthless crime lord by being ''nice''. See also AntiVillain.
* AloofDarkhairedGirl: More so after the TimeSkip. She maintains an air of cool sophistication much of the time, though she occasionally lowers her guard to show a more playful side (usually around Han).
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: She's subject to this In-universe post TimeSkip (as well as out-of-universe). Beckett views her as a manipulative, two-faced FemmeFatale who cares about her own survival first and foremost. Han thinks she's still the sweet, adventurous girl he grew up with on Corellia, TrappedInVillainy against her will. Vos sees her as his loyal and dependable lieutenant, pulled from the slums of Corellia and shaped into a deadly weapon for him to use. The only person who really knows Qi'ra's true nature is Qi'ra herself.
* {{Ambadassador}}: Much like [[{{Foil}} Leia]], Qi'ra takes on a diplomatic role, albeit unofficially. She prefers talking and solutions that don't lead to death, but is capable of holding her own should it come to combat.
* AmbiguousCriminalHistory: It's insinuated that she's done many illegal and unsavory things during her work with the Crimson Dawn syndicate, to the point she thinks her childhood sweetheart Han (who isn't exactly a model citizen himself) would instantly reject her if he knew about her record. She never goes into specifics, but it's definitely worse than picking pockets and stealing coaxium, given the Crimson Dawn are known for doing things like cutting out the tongues of those who oppose them, her boss likes stabbing people who displease him, and ''his'' boss is [[spoiler: ex-Sith Lord Darth Maul]].
* AmbiguouslyEvil: For most of ''Solo'', it's not entirely clear where Qi'ra's true loyalties lie or who she's going to side with. By the end of the movie [[spoiler: she chooses to stay a member of Crimson Dawn and lies in her report to Maul to cover up her and Han's role in Dryden's death. It remains ambiguous whether she wanted to leave with Han and felt she had to stay to keep them both safe from Crimson Dawn's retribution or if she wanted to stay a member of Crimson Dawn and was willing to take advantage of her position to protect Han]].
* AmbitionIsEvil: Her primary villainous trait is her unrelenting desire to get to the top, no matter who she has to step on along the way. [[spoiler:This directly leads her to abandon Han to take control of the Crimson Dawn.]]
* AntiVillain: For much of the film, she seems to be a NominalVillain; although she works directly under [[BigBad Vos]], she is quite
* ApologeticAttacker: She apologizes to [[spoiler: Han]] after disarming him and holding him at swordpoint.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: She's a lieutenant in a cut-throat criminal syndicate and she has the fighting skills to back it up.
* BadassCape: She dons a long, red and black one on Kessel, as part of her slaver disguise.
* BadassNormal: Come ''War of The Bounty Hunters'', Qi'ra has shown that [[spoiler: Maul]] has trained her well enough for her to wield Electro-Swords with enough proficiency for [[spoiler:Darth Vader]] to take note of her skill despite her not being Force-Sensitive. However, as he points out it's [[DeconstructedTrope ultimately not enough]] for her to be able to able match [[spoiler:Vader]] in a one-on-one fight.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: One of Qi'ra's childhood dreams was flying all over the galaxy. As an adult she gets her wish, but
* BeingEvilSucks: {{Implied|trope}}. Qi'ra occasionally [[EvenEvilHasStandards expresses some shame]] in the things she's done, though to what extent is unclear, and in the end [[spoiler: her expression as she leaves Han to report to Maul appears to indicate [[WasItReallyWorthIt some regret]]. Given the kind of guy Maul is, it's a surprise things worked out as well as they did for her]].
* BigOlEyebrows: She has thick, expressive eyebrows, courtesy of Emilia Clarke.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: By the time she reappears in Han's life, her charming and friendly facade hides a more devious and calculating nature, even though deep down she still cares for Han. It's enough to convince him she's the same girl he grew up with, even though she herself warns him she's changed and not for the better.
* BitchUnderstudy: [[spoiler: A possible interpretation of her is that she's this to Vos, though it's [[AmbiguousSituation not entirely clear]] if she was always planning on betraying him]].
* BlatantLies:
** When she tells Han she'll be right behind him in the end. [[spoiler: The moment he leaves, she contacts Maul and then flies off to report to him, leaving Han behind]].
** Her claim about what happened aboard the ''First Light'' to [[spoiler: Maul]] zig-zags this, as some of it is actually true in a roundabout way: [[spoiler: Beckett ''did'' betray Dryden and steal the coaxium. She doesn't witness his death so she can [[PlausibleDeniability technically claim]] he took it and flew off. Dryden also was killed by ''a'' friend and ''a'' thief he tasked with stealing the coaxium...it just wasn't Beckett. Her claim that she "wasn't there" when Dryden was killed is straight up BlatantLies though]].
* BrainyBrunette: Not so much in terms of books, but from the beginning she is shown to be quick-witted, StreetSmart and good at manipulating people or events to favor her. Dryden also tends to rely on her [[TheConsigliere for advice]].
* BreakHerHeartToSaveHer: When she and Leia meet she tells her that one of the reasons she left Han was because she was heading down a path that would have corrupted him, and she felt that Han still had the potential to be a hero.
* BrokenBird: While she appears much more lighthearted in her earlier scenes, she's become decidedly hardened and more cynical by the time that she and Han reunite.
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Following the end of ''Solo'', it was unknown what became of Qi'ra. She reappears in ''War of the Bounty Hunters'' about thirteen years in-universe after she was last seen, still leading Crimson Dawn following Maul's demise and the events of ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: She starts out as a relatively innocent and quick-witted StreetUrchin who [[IJustWantToBeFree just wants to live a free life]] with her boyfriend. By the main timeline of ''Solo'', she's a much more [[DarkActionGirl ruthless and ambitious gangster]] who will [[TheUnfettered go to almost any lengths]] to survive.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: She has one with Han on Corellia; they grew up together and begin a romantic relationship in their late teens.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: She begins the film by backstabbing Lady Proxima to run off with Han. [[spoiler:She later seemingly betrays Han to Dryden, betrays Dryden to Han, then betrays Han for real by taking control of the Crimson Dawn instead of starting a new life with him, while also pinning Dryden's death and the stolen coaxium on Beckett (though in fairness, he screwed her and Han over first)]].
* CombatPragmatist: She's quite willing to use trickery, backstabbing and other underhanded tactics to win a fight. This may be justified in that she's a rather small woman (around 5'2") who lives in some pretty rough areas and regularly deals with very dangerous people.
* CombatStilettos: She wears boots with heels during the Kessel heist and the climatic duel with [[spoiler: Dryden Vos]], which are no detriment to her combat abilities.
* ConflictingLoyalty: As the film progresses, Qi'ra becomes increasingly torn between her loyalty to Vos and the Crimson Dawn, and her love for childhood sweetheart Han Solo, especially in the third act when Han and Vos's goals start to diverge. In the end [[spoiler: she chooses Crimson Dawn ([[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor eventually]]), though she kills Vos and frames Beckett [[PetTheDog to protect Han]]]].
* TheConsigliere: Acts as one to Dryden, trying to smooth over tense situations to work out a good deal for everyone and providing him with advice. At one point, he even says she's the person he trusts the most in the galaxy.
* ConsummateLiar: She's adept at deception, with only Beckett seeing her as untrustworthy. [[spoiler: If it weren't for Beckett, Dryden may have continued to believe she was still completely loyal to him and even then he still trusts her enough to lower his guard around her, which proves to be his undoing. In the span of about ten minutes, she convinces Han she'll be right behind him before confidently telling one lie after another to ''Maul'' and getting away with it (Maul does seem a little suspicious, but accepts her version of events for the time being)]].
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Like Han, she grew up on the streets and has no family to speak of.
* CorruptTheCutie: She seems like a [[UsedToBeASweetKid genuinely sweet girl]] at the start, who puts herself between Han and a blaster, dreams of gaining the freedom to explore the galaxy, and urges Han to leave her behind when she gets caught so he at least will be free. During the events of the three year TimeSkip, she has been thoroughly broken by her harsh life and is now a hardened criminal who [[ItsAllAboutMe mainly looks out for number one]].
* CoolSword: Wields two rapier-style Electro-Swords that house tiny thermal detonators in the hilt and can connect into a double-bladed weapon in ''War of The Bounty Hunters.''
* CynicismCatalyst: Her ThwartedEscape from Corellia was apparently this for her, as she became much more ruthless in order to survive; she's also given up her old dream of flying off into the stars with Han, dismissing it as an impossible fantasy.
* DamselOutOfDistress:
** A rather dark example. Early in the film, the last we see of Qi'ra is her being dragged off by the White Worms gang, with Han vowing to return and save her. Three years later, however, Han learns Qi'ra TookALevelInBadass and made her own way off of Corellia, though just how she achieved this is all but stated to be [[DarkAndTroubledPast pretty sordid]]. As mentioned under TheOneWhoMadeItOut, it's also [[PlayingWithATrope debatable]] as to how 'free' she actually is.
** On one occasion, Qi'ra is captured by Hondo Ohnaka and IG-88 on Ord Mantell and not only manages to pick her handcuffs to free herself, but also [[spoiler: manipulates the two bounty hunters into turning on each other before capturing ''them'' to claim the bounties on their heads]].
* DarkActionGirl: She's one of Dryden's top lieutenants and can more than hold her own in a fight. She practices a martial art called Teräs Käsi, and she's proficient with swords, [[spoiler:which she uses to defeat Vos in one-on-one combat in the film's climax]]. In ''War of the Bounty Hunters'' she implies that [[spoiler: Maul]] taught her, actually goes up against [[spoiler: ''Darth Vader'']] and puts up a decent fight; even he admits her skills are impressive, though she's still outmatched by him (as he lampshades when he immediately comments that he'd almost regret killing her. Almost).
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Besides being [[HarmfulToMinors an orphan forced to work as a thief for most of her childhood]], it's strongly implied that Qi'ra did a lot of morally questionable things in order to get to her high-ranking position in Crimson Dawn. Beckett warns Han not to trust her, Vos says that Han has no idea of what she's done in the past three years since they were separated and Qi'ra herself says that she doesn't want to tell Han about what she did, because [[InsecureLoveInterest she's afraid he'll reject her for it]].
* DatingCatwoman: Han's relationship with her is practically this, [[spoiler:but clearly, not even Qi'ra will let love get in the way of her own ambitions]].
* DeceasedFallGuyGambit: [[spoiler:When she reports to Maul at the end of the movie, she blames Vos's death entirely on Beckett, who has been killed by Han.]]
* DecompositeCharacter: She shares several traits with Bria Tharen from ''Literature/TheHanSoloTrilogy''. Like Bria, she is an OldFlame to Han Solo before he met Leia, who is involved in the criminal underworld and whose eventual [[spoiler: betrayal]] of Han contributes to his CynicismCatalyst. Unlike Bria, though, Qi'ra has no involvement with the Rebel Alliance [[spoiler: unless one counts her letting Han sell the coaxium to the Cloud Riders]], with that aspect of Bria's character seemingly being taken up by ''Film/RogueOne'''s [[Characters/StarWarsRogueOne Jyn Erso]].
* DerailingLoveInterests: Part of the movie focuses on the eventual ship sinking between her and Han.
* DistaffCounterpart: Her backstory shares some surprising similarities to Darth Vader's. Both grew up in slavery on planets that served as the asshole of the galaxy, eventually managed to escape said slavery, and [[spoiler:betray their closest friend to become TheDragon to a Sith Lord]].
* DoomedByCanon: Although she's not necessarily completely screwed, Qi'ra's relationship with Han is doomed, as Han is apparently single by the events of the original trilogy and eventually [[OfficialCouple gets with Leia]]. [[spoiler: Qi'ra survives the events of ''Solo'', but she sacrifices her relationship with Han to take Vos's place as head of the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate. Eventually, and after Maul's death, she became the leader of Crimson Dawn by the time of ''War of the Bounty Hunters''. However, seeing as she's made an enemy of Boba Fett for stealing Han Solo while frozen in carbonite, things aren't looking good for her. She manages to survive, however, and hears of the defeat of the Empire in quiet obscurity]].
* TheDragon: After being taken away (one could easily say "saved") from Corellia by Dryden Vos, she became his right hand woman.
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:After Vos's death, she becomes the public face of Crimson Dawn, only being commanded by [[TheManBehindTheMan Maul]]. After Maul's death in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'', however, she became ''the'' leader of Crimson Dawn, with no one commanding her from the shadows.]]
* DrivenToVillainy: At the beginning of ''Solo'', Qi'ra isn't a bad person and even after becoming Vos's lieutenant, she doesn't go out of her way to be malicious and is quite amicable much of the time. It's strongly indicated her villainous acts were initially committed out of a sense of self-preservation; she had a horrible upbringing on Corellia and likely saw joining the Crimson Dawn as a way out of her predicament. She outright tells Han at one point that "Everyone serves someone else", in which case, she is determined to serve someone closer to the top of that pecking order to ensure her own survival.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She seems to be more 'amoral' than really 'evil', but either way she has a definite soft spot for Han. She almost seems like her old self around him and admits that he is her "weakness". [[spoiler: She even kills Vos to save him and seems genuinely saddened when she betrays and abandons him]]. Han himself [[EvenEvilCanBeLoved still loves her]] and [[DoggedNiceGuy actively pursues her]] throughout the film. Of course, Han seemingly doesn't realise the full extent of her crimes and Qi'ra believes he wouldn't love her anymore if he did know.
* EvilBrit: She has a British accent and is a backstabbing SmugSnake.
* EvilerThanThou: [[spoiler:Qi'ra is so obsessed with being on top and her own self interests, that she'll outpace any bad guy who gets in the way. She ends up topping Hondo and IG-88, and takes out Dryden Vos, but she ends up on the ''other'' end of this trope when she's intimidated by ''Maul'']].
* TheFace: She serves as this for Beckett's crew during the coaxium heist on Kessel, demonstrating herself to be a skilled negotiator and manipulator.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:She goes from being a moral love interest into a power-hungry FemmeFatale, who willingly sides with Maul in the end]].
* FalseSoulmate: To Han. They're very much in love as teenagers on Corellia and share a dream of escaping the planet and travelling the galaxy together. Even after being separated for three years, Han never stopped loving her or trying to find ways to get back to her. By the time they meet again, however, Qi'ra has changed quite a bit and has different priorities, though Han doesn't see it (or refuses to). In the end [[spoiler: Qi'ra abandons Han to pursue a career in the Crimson Dawn; even before that their relationship was on the rocks, as Han initially assumed she was [[LoveInterestTraitor the one who betrayed him]] to Vos, while she was potentially [[ShootYourMate willing to kill him]] to save herself]]. Interestingly, as mentioned under {{Foil}} below, Qi'ra shares some traits with Leia, Han's SecondLove (and [[LastGirlWins future wife]]).
* FanservicePack: Not that she was unattractive before (seeing as she's played by Creator/EmiliaClarke), but when we first meet Qi'ra she has a rather modest and scruffy style, befitting her [[StreetUrchin current lifestyle]]. When we first see her after the TimeSkip, she's better groomed and wearing a much more revealing LittleBlackDress.
* FatalFlaw: Her need to be 'free' and [[AmbitionIsEvil in control]] above all else, regardless of the effect on others and [[ItsAllAboutMe even at the expense of those she cares for]]. She's hinted to have done some pretty nasty things to secure her position and will betray people who trust her in a heartbeat if she thinks someone else can offer her a better deal. In the end [[spoiler: she quite willingly sides with Crimson Dawn and pledges her allegiance to Maul, despite knowing of their atrocities and having the chance to start a different life with Han]]. Ironically, her choice means she will likely never be truly free as she desperately wants [[spoiler: and it may very well prove to be a 'fatal' flaw, as Maul does ''not'' sound pleased by how things have turned out]]. Subsequently, it also means few people are willing to trust her and she is left with a rapidly shrinking pool of allies.
* FemmeFatale: She's described as such in pre-release material and in the movie Beckett warns Han not to trust her. She's an [[MsFanservice attractive and flirtatious]] young woman, who frequently charms her way around people to serve her own interests, although her exact loyalties and motivations are unclear for much of the film. [[spoiler:Beckett's concerns are partially right; while she ultimately saves Han's life over Dryden's, Qi'ra pursues her own self-interests above all else and leaves Han behind.]] Lawrence Kasdan stated that he drew inspiration for the character from [[Film/OutOfThePast Kathie Moffat]], who is one of the {{Trope Codifier}}s for the FemmeFatale.
--> '''Emilia Clarke:''' "''She has a couple of guises, but essentially she is just fighting to stay alive. If you've got a really glamorous lady in a really sordid environment, you kind of know the glamor is hiding a few rough roads.''"
* FirstLove: She was the first love in Han's life, years before he met [[Characters/StarWarsLeiaOrgana Leia]].
* {{Foil}}: To Leia, the woman who would later become Han’s wife. Both Qi’ra and Leia are skilled negotiators who prefer words rather than violence but aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty if they have to. Both hold a huge influence in their respective organizations. [[spoiler:Both are also connected to a Sith Lord (Leia is Darth Vader’s daughter, while Qi’ra is Maul’s top lieutenant)]]. But while Leia hailed from a royalty family on Alderaan, Qi’ra grew up in the slums of Corellia. Leia uses her charisma to [[TheParagon inspire loyalty and hope for others]], while Qi’ra uses hers to [[ManipulativeBitch manipulate others into doing what she wants or provide a false sense of security to her targets before stabbing them in the back.]] Leia also starts out cold toward Han when they first met but [[DefrostingIceQueen warms up and eventually falls in love with him]] throughout their adventures, while Qi’ra starts out being Han’s lover whom he cared very much about, but circumstances eventually force them apart. [[LoveCannotOvercome Qi'ra's new lifestyle trumps over her personal attachment to Han, and she chooses to embrace her new life rather than run away with him.]]
* ForWantOfANail: If she'd managed to get past the checkpoint on Corellia along with Han, her life might've turned out very differently, as would several events in ''Solo'' (given that one of the main reasons Han was looking for work with the Crimson Dawn in the first place was to get his own ship and come back to Corellia for her).
* FromNobodyToNightmare: She goes from an orphaned street kid to the right-hand woman of a feared crime lord [[spoiler: and eventually takes over the syndicate herself]].
* GirlyBruiser: Qi'ra has quite a feminine dress sense, even wearing high heels, jewelry and make-up on missions (and in advertising for ''Solo'', she's heavily associated with [[ColorMotif pink and purple]]). She's also pretty [[DarkActionGirl badass]] and not afraid to get her hands dirty.
* GoodGirlGoneBad: She started out as a kind-hearted orphan but [[CynicismCatalyst goes through enough crap]] that she ends up a manipulative and self-serving FemmeFatale.
* HadToBeSharp: Growing up an orphan in the [[WrongSideOfTheTracks worst]] [[WretchedHive parts]] of Corellia, she had to learn to be quick-witted and pragmatic in order to survive. She insinuates that the only reason she lasted so long with the Crimson Dawn is because she became willing to do [[IDidWhatIHadToDo whatever was necessary]] to 'stay in the game', leaving little room for things like sentimentality and friendship.
* HappyPlace: She tells Han that to keep her spirits up she'd imagine herself flying across the galaxy with him like they used to talk about on Corellia.
-->"Smile. That's the word. Whenever I imagined myself off with you on some adventure, it always made me smile."
* HatedHometown: She is eager to escape from [[ViceCity Coronet City]] and by extension Corellia in its entirety, and laughs along with Dryden when he refers to her homeplanet as a "putrid sewer". Considering what her life was like there, one can hardly blame her.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler:She changes her allegiance several times in the movie, most of them in the span of 10 minutes. One moment she betrays Han, and then she sides with him, only to turn on him again to side with Maul.]]
* HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with.]] When she introduces Han to her boss, she makes a point of telling Dryden that she and Han "grew up together on Corellia", leaving out the part where they were lovers who once planned to run away together. [[spoiler: Dryden eventually figures out that they have romantic feelings for each other, telling Qi'ra that Han is her [[LoveIsAWeakness "weakness"]] and tries to get her to kill him as a show of loyalty after Han double-crosses him]].
* HeroicSacrifice: To an extent. At the start of the film, Qi'ra gets caught while trying to escape from Corellia and begs Han to run for it, knowing there's nothing he can do and [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy not wanting him to be caught too]].
* HighHeelFaceTurn: ZigZagged. She clearly still has romantic feelings for [[TheHero Han]] [[spoiler: and turns on Vos to save him...but she ultimately leaves him behind to secure her own position as a crime boss rather than join him to start a new life]].
* IAmVeryBritish: Especially when voiced by Olivia Hack (in ''Forces of Destiny'').
* IDidWhatIHadToDo:
** Tells Han that she did what she had to do to survive after leaving Corellia. She doesn't elaborate in the movie but the novelization mentioned she killed guards while trying to escape Dryden.
** After killing [[spoiler: Dryden Vos]], she states "I had to do it". It's unclear whether she's trying to reassure Han, herself, or possibly both.
* IJustWantToBeFree: In the beginning of the movie, she excitedly talks about how once she and Han escape Corellia, they'll never be controlled by anyone again. [[spoiler:And if that means betraying Han so she can be the one ''in'' control, then that's what it takes. Ironically, by becoming the new leader of the Crimson Dawn, she now answers directly to Maul, which means she can never be free again for as long as he lives. However, she ends up outliving Maul and her leadership position seemingly has no more strings attached.]]
* ImprobableAge: Qi'ra is one of the highest-ranking lieutenants in Crimson Dawn by the time she's in her early twenties and was eighteen, at the youngest, when she joined the organization. It makes you wonder just what the hell she did to rise through the ranks that quickly.
* InnocentBlueEyes: She has big blue eyes that give her a veneer of demureness and innocence, [[SubvertedTrope but she's actually anything but]].
* InsecureLoveInterest: She has shades of being one towards Han after they're reunited. Because of all the awful things she did while working for Crimson Dawn, she thinks Han wouldn't love her anymore if he knew the truth and that he's too good a person for someone like her. It's partly because of this that she's reluctant to pick up where they left off [[spoiler: and it's further implied this part of the reason she leaves him in the end]].
-->'''Han:''' Nothing's gonna change the way I'm looking at you right now...
-->'''Qi'ra:''' You don't know that, you don't know what I've done...''[[ShutUpKiss [Han kisses her]]]''
* InTheBack: How she takes down [[spoiler: Quay Tolsite]] during the Kessel heist.
* {{Irony}}: She tells Han she knows he's actually not a bad person deep down, but her treatment of him is implied to be [[TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest one of the reasons]] Han TookALevelInJerkass to become a ruthless smuggler.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Although she does display some altruistic behavior throughout ''Solo'', she's primarily concerned with her own interests first and foremost. This is likely due to being raised in the dog-eat-dog slums of Coronet City; after losing [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Han]] she had no one who truly cared about her and had to rely entirely on herself to get by.
-->"It's what we learned on the street, Han; someone falls, you keep running. It's how you stay alive."
* JustAGangster: Han repeatedly suggests she leave Crimson Dawn and start a new life with him, but she seems reluctant, also hinting that she cannot just up and leave because of Vos. [[spoiler: After she kills Vos, she gives Han the impression she's going to take him up on his offer...but it turns out she was lying to get him out of the way before cozying up to Maul to secure her position]].
* KlingonPromotion: [[spoiler: At the end of ''Solo'', she kills Vos and is given his job by Maul. However, she doesn't let slip that ''she'' killed Vos, instead framing Beckett for it]].
* LadyInAPowerSuit: She wears a black pantsuit in the climax of ''Solo'', where she [[spoiler: kills Vos and takes his place as head of the syndicate]].
* LadyOfWar: She's a DarkActionGirl who usually has a cool and collected demeanour and dresses quite elegantly.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:She's done a lot of bad things, and after betraying Han for the last time, she finds herself forced into submission by ''Maul''. However, she ended up outliving him and became Crimson Dawn's new boss]].
* LittleBlackDress: She is seen wearing one while at Dryden's mobile palace, a rare case of "Earth clothing" in ''Star Wars''.
* LoveInterestTraitor: [[spoiler:Downplayed. While she does abandon Han at the end to become leader of the Crimson Dawn, she never directly antagonizes him and even lies to protect him from her new boss, Maul.]]
* LoveIsAWeakness: She seems to believe this [[CharacterDevelopment by the end]], agreeing with Vos'
*
* MakeUpIsEvil: She tends to wear heavier make-up after joining the
* ManipulativeBitch: Qi'ra can be very persuasive when she wants to and is good at [[TheCharmer charming]] her way around people to get what she wants. See also FemmeFatale.
* MeaningfulName: Qi'ra is pronounced the same as Kira, which can be a variation of the Irish name Kiara/Ciara, meaning "dark-haired" or "little dark one". Kira is also possibly the feminine Russian form of the Greek name Cyrus, meaning "ruler" - both of these meanings seem quite appropriate for Qi'ra, a short, morally ambiguous brunette who helps run a crime syndicate. Additionally, her name is potentially a ShoutOut to Akira Kurosawa.
* MsFanservice: She is made for this trope due to being a very beautiful woman. Considering the fact that she is portrayed by Creator/EmiliaClarke, it’s unsurprising that she qualifies as this. Several of her outfits have low necklines or are very form-fitting; special mention should go to her LittleBlackDress, which shows off a fair bit of skin.
* MyNaymeIs: Her name is pronounced "Kira", but spelled "Qi'ra".
* MythologyGag: She borrows traits from Bria Tharen from ''Literature/TheHanSoloTrilogy''.
* NearVillainVictory: A rare AntiHero example of this trope, she nearly has defeated [[spoiler: Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader by trapping them in the Fermata Cage on the Amaxine Station via tricking them into thinking there's a Sith Lord trapped inside, and was almost on her way to defeat the Empire. However, the Knights of Ren ruined it by firing upon the cage and freeing the Sith Lords from their prison in order to become servants to them. Palpatine even notes this upon being freed.]]
-->'''[[spoiler: Emperor Palpatine]]:''' [[LampshadeHanging Oh, Qi'ra...so close...and yet '''SO FAR''']].
* NobleTopEnforcer: Has shades of this role towards Dryden Vos. It's downplayed in the sense that she still goes along with his crimes and her primary goal is helping herself, but Qi'ra comes across as a lot more [[AffablyEvil benevolent]] and a lot less AxCrazy than Dryden. This is most clearly demonstrated in the scene where Han and Beckett pitch the Kessel heist to Dryden; Qi'ra makes efforts to soothe her boss' anger over the crew's previous failure and suggests ideas to make the heist a viable plan. [[spoiler:When it comes down to it, she also kills Dryden over Han, although she [[RedemptionRejection doesn't leave Crimson Dawn either]]]].
* NoodleIncident: Whatever it was she did to become Vos's most trusted lieutenant in just three years.
* NothingIsScarier:
** We never find out what Lady Proxima did to Qi'ra after catching her trying to escape, but it probably wasn't pleasant. According to the novelization, she eventually [[MadeASlave sold her to a slave dealer]], which was how she met Dryden Vos.
** As mentioned under NoodleIncident, we don't find out the details of what she did to survive and earn Vos' favor during the TimeSkip, but it's telling that both Qi'ra and Vos himself think Han would be shocked if he knew.
* NotMeThisTime: [[spoiler: In the climax, when Dryden reveals he knows about Han double-crossing him, Han initially assumes Qi'ra told him. However, she's just as shocked as him and it's soon revealed that it was ''Beckett'' who snitched on him]].
* NumberTwo: Dryden Vos calls her his "top lieutenant"; in the film itself we see her accompanying him to meetings to act as TheConsigliere and going on the Kessel heist at his command to ensure it goes smoothly. She appears to have a lot of influence within the Crimson Dawn [[spoiler: especially considering she is known to Maul, the overarching leader, and is able to assume Vos' position with little fuss]].
* OfficialCouple: With Han at the beginning of ''Solo''. They get back together in the middle of the film, [[DoomedByCanon but we know it won't last]].
* OhCrap:
** Her reaction when Han tries driving their landspeeder sideways through a narrow alley to escape the White Worms; she correctly predicts they won't fit.
** Has a subtle yet noticeable moment of this at the end, when [[spoiler: Maul [[IntimidationDemonstration ignites his lightsaber in front of her]] and tells her they'll be "working much more closely from now on"]]. There's another layer to this: [[spoiler: The idea we get from Han in ''A New Hope'' is that the galaxy considers Force users, who as far as they knew were all Jedi, to be extinct at the end of the Clone Wars (to the point that some believe them to be a myth), Qi'ra herself being no exception. So when she finds out her boss is a Force-user, but almost certainly the complete opposite of a Jedi, it's pretty clear that it's most certainly not a "hokey religion" and she's trapped in that world forever.]]
* OldFlame: She was Han Solo's first love before they were unfortunately separated, and the two of them reconnected by accident three years later.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: She's [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder casual acquaintances]] with [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsForcesOfDestiny Hondo and IG-88]], she's a childhood friend of Han's and meets Chewbacca and Lando, and becomes [[spoiler:TheDragon to Maul]]. ''War of the Bounty Hunters'' also reveals she [[spoiler:encounters Boba Fett, she having temporarily stolen the frozen Han Solo from him]] and even added [[spoiler:Ren and the Knights of Ren to her roster]]. [[note]] Who themselves would later meet her former lover's son Ben and the Empire's successor state, The First Order. [[/note]]
* OneHeadShorter: Than her boss, Dryden Vos. At 5'2", Qi'ra is a foot shorter than Vos, barely coming up to his shoulder even when she's in heels.
* TheOneWhoMadeItOut: {{Subverted|Trope}}. When she and Han meet for the first time since his escape from Corellia, he asks her how she made it out. She replies "I didn't". It's heavily implied she 'got out' by pledging her services to [[BigBad Dryden Vos]] and is clearly under his command now. She may be better off now than she was in the slums of Corellia, [[GildedCage but she isn't free]].
* OnlyFriend: She appeared to be Han's only companion as they were growing up on Corellia, in addition to being his FirstLove. He later [[SubvertedTrope makes other friends]] like Chewbacca and Lando [[spoiler: and finds out the hard way that Qi'ra is no longer someone he can trust]].
* OnlyOneName: Her name is just Qi'ra. This is presumably because she's an orphaned scrumrat, the same as Han.
* OpportunisticBastard: Qi'ra tends to side with whoever she thinks will offer her the best chance of survival and prosperity. Notably [[spoiler: she chooses to install herself as Maul's new lieutenant after betraying and killing Dryden Vos]].
* OrphansOrdeal: Qi'ra had a rough upbringing on the streets of Coronet City, turning to crime in order to survive. Han was apparently her only real friend during this time and after they're separated, she has no one.
* OutlawCouple: With Han on Corellia, with the two mostly carrying out scams and petty thievery for the White Worms and eventually making a break for it with stolen coaxium. They also briefly become this again for the coaxium heist on Kessel.
* OutOfTheFryingPan: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Solo'', she's killed Dryden Vos... only for Maul, who's much worse in every regard than Vos could ever hope to be, to promptly summon her to Dathomir.]]
* PetTheDog:
** [[spoiler:Even though she betrays Han to serve Maul at the end, she puts all of the blame for the climax on Beckett and allows Han to get away scot-free.]]
** She takes the opportunity to slip Han back his lucky dice on Kessel...by punching him in the stomach.
** [[spoiler: She ultimately lets Han give the coaxium to the Cloud Riders, even though keeping it to hand over to Maul would probably be better for her]].
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Rather like [[{{Foil}} Leia]], Qi'ra is only about 5'2" but can still kick ass when she has to.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: [[spoiler: "It's what I was taught. Find your opponent's weakness and use it. And today...[[TheStarscream I'm your's]]"]].
* PrettyInMink: She wears a fur stole when she goes to meet Lando and some of her jackets are lined with fur on the inside. May overlap with FurAndLoathing, considering she's TheDragon and a FemmeFatale, though at this point in the film, she's [[AntiVillain pretty amicable]]. And she does look very fabulous in it.
* PunctuationShaker: Her name has an apostrophe dropped in the middle of it, although it doesn't seem to affect the pronunciation (it's pronounced the same as "Kira").
* TheQueenpin: [[spoiler: By the end of ''Solo'', she's become the new head of the Crimson Dawn, though she's not ''quite'' the true leader as she answers directly to [[GreaterScopeVillain Maul]]. It's played completely straight by the events of ''War of the Bounty Hunter''; Maul is long-dead by this point and Qi'ra is fully in command of the organization]].
* RagsToRiches: During the three year time skip, she goes from an impoverished scrumrat trying to survive the slums of Corellia, to living the high-life on a fancy star yacht. However, it's clear she's paid [[FromNobodyToNightmare a heavy]] [[GildedCage price]] for her wealth.
* RankUp:
** At the end of ''Most Wanted'', she gets promoted to Head Girl in the White Worms gang.
** During the three year {{time skip}} in ''Solo'', she manages to become Dryden Vos's most trusted lieutenant in the Crimson Dawn. And then at the end of the film, she [[spoiler: gets herself promoted to Vos's old job, serving directly under Maul, the head of the syndicate]].
** [[spoiler:After Maul's death in ''Rebels'', she is now at the top of the syndicate's chain of command.]]
* RecruitedFromTheGutter: Dryden Vos more or less 'saved' her from a life of poverty in Corellia's slums and gave her a high-ranking position within the Crimson Dawn. As a result, she is loyal to him and his syndicate [[spoiler: until she sees an opportunity to [[KlingonPromotion take his place]], that is]]. Previously, Lady Proxima also reminded Qi'ra that she "pulled [her] out of" the Silo, a particularly dire part of Coronet City where she'd been living prior to being recruited by the White Worms.
* RecurringElement: She's the fifth white brunette female lead in the series, and the third of those to be portrayed by a British actress. She's also the third lead main character to have only one name, after Rey and Finn.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: While she doesn't have them herself, [[spoiler: the glow of Maul's saber in the hologram reflects on her eyes, giving them a red color. She's also now become the new leader of Crimson Dawn.]]
* RedemptionRejection: [[spoiler:Han extends an offer for her to join him to start a new life, but she refuses out of her lust for power. It's also possible she believes she's [[IveComeTooFar done too much]] to give up her position now]].
* RedHerringMole: [[spoiler: It's implied that she is secretly reporting the activities of Beckett's crew to Dryden, given her loyalty to him and the fact he sends her to Kessel specifically to keep an eye on things. However, in the climax it's revealed that
* RestrainingBolt: In the novelization, L3 says she must have some kind of psychological one that causes her to go back to Dryden Vos even though he sent her to Kessel unsupervised.
* SavedByCanon: [[spoiler: The ''War of the Bounty Hunters'' comic confirms she outlived Maul, as she's still alive and running the Crimson Dawn around the time of ''The Empire Strikes Back'']].
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Gender-flipped version; she's the sharp-witted, pragmatic Savvy Girl to the upbeat and headstrong Han's Energetic Guy.
* SayMyName: When she's captured by Proxima's goons, Han desperately screams her name as she's dragged away, while she begs him to run.
* SciFiBobHaircut: Her initial hairstyle, though it's a bit softer and messier than most examples. By the time she meets Han again, [[ExpositoryHairstyleChange she's grown her hair out]].
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Despite having worked her way up to 'Head Girl' in
* SexyBacklessOutfit: Her black party dress.
* SexySlitDress: Her black party dress has splits that show a bit of her nice legs.
* ShadowArchetype: She and Han are quite similar in many ways, the main difference being that Qi'ra actively embraces all Han's worst traits while downplaying his positive qualities, namely greed, self-centeredness, disloyalty, cynicism and ruthlessness. She represents the kind of person Han could potentially have become if he didn't decide to help his friends and the Rebellion over his own self-interests. While Han eventually comes to believe in the Rebels' cause and fights to free the galaxy from tyranny, Qi'ra believes there's only 'the game', in which the objective is merely to stay in it as long as possible through whatever means necessary. She gives up freedom for power, usually only helps others if there's something in it for her and - most crucially - believes she cannot change and is stuck in this life forever.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Holy ''Ashla'' does she look nice at Dryden's cocktail party.
* SheFu: When taking out [[spoiler: Quay Tolsite]] and during her fight with [[spoiler: Han and Vos]], she does a few acrobatic flips and spins. This may be justified in that she practices Teräs Käsi, a martial art specifically tailored to fighting Jedi.
* ShootYourMate: After Vos catches her lying to him about Han's intentions [[spoiler: she ''herself'' suggests killing Han to prove her loyalty to him. However, due to the subsequent events, we don't actually see if she would really have gone through with it to save her own skin, and she actually ends up [[TheStarscream killing Vos]] instead]].
* ShoutOut: Her name seems to derived from that of Creator/AkiraKurosawa, a major influence on George Lucas during the making of ''Star Wars'' (it's pronounced the same as [[MyNaymeIs Kira, just spelt differently]]). Kira was also Rey's name in the original script for ''The Force Awakens''.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She all but states this is the reason she loves Han; despite his attempts to come off as a scoundrel, she sees that he's really a courageous, loyal and goodhearted person despite everything that's happened to him. Unfortunately, it's precisely because of this she also thinks [[LoveCannotOvercome they can't be together anymore]].
* SignificantWardrobeShift: At the beginning when she's a street thief on Corellia, she's wearing a slightly scruffy outfit not unlike what a teenage girl on Earth might wear. Three years later, after she's joined the Crimson Dawn, she's better groomed and wears more elegant and expensive-looking gowns and pantsuits, showing how she has changed to move up in the world from her lowly beginnings.
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Has shades of this following the TimeSkip, although it's [[DarkAndTroubledPast not just growing up]] that made her cynical. This is used to contrast her against the more idealistic Han, although she's never unnecessarily harsh about his outlook.
--> '''Han Solo:''' We're gonna win.
--> '''Qi'ra:''' It's not that kind of game, Han. The object is not to win, but to stay in it as long as you can.
* SlaveBrand: She has the Crimson Dawn symbol iron-branded on her arm and the back of her neck.
* SmugSnake: [[spoiler: Her lust for power makes her confident enough to eventually put herself in service to ''Darth Maul'', after getting Vos out of the way. However, Maul swiftly reminds her of just who she's dealing with, much to her chagrin]].
* SocialClimber: Of the [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder backstabbing]] kind; she weasels her way up the ranks of the criminal underworld by making herself useful and/or endearing to the right people, then cuts them loose or screws them over the moment she has everything she wants from them. She's pretty good at it, considering that in just three years she's helping run one of the most powerful criminal syndicates in the galaxy.
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: She claims to Maul to be the only survivor of the Crimson Dawn personnel aboard the ''First Light'' following the climax. She doesn't mention Han and Chewie to protect them and also conveniently leaves out the part where ''she'' killed Vos]].
* StarcrossedLovers: With Han. When they try to escape from Corellia together, she is captured and urges him to flee, and they only meet again by chance three years later, by which point Qi'ra is sworn into the service of Dryden Vos and can't just run off with Han without endangering them both. [[spoiler: By the time they could actually be together due to Qi'ra killing Vos, she ends up choosing Crimson Dawn over Han and flies away without him]].
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:She's Dryden Vos's most trusted lieutenant. She eventually kills him and takes his place, serving Maul. It's not clear if she had been considering this all along, but she quickly [[OpportunisticBastard grabs the opportunity when it arises]]]].
* StreetSmart: She grew up on the streets on Coronet City and is quite capable of looking after herself. She's never had a formal education, but she's still intelligent, quick on her feet, resourceful and usually a good judge of character. ''Most Wanted'' and deleted scenes in ''Solo'' also emphasize that she knows lots of shortcuts, hiding places and alternate routes around her home city. Her smarts have enabled her to survive and adapt to life in organized crime.
* StreetUrchin: Started out as one alongside Han.
* StylishProtectionGear: Even the more practical outfits she wears during and after the Kessel heist are very stylish and elegant, right down to her gun holster.
* SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome: A singular movie TimeSkip example; she goes from being an innocent LoveInterest orphan to a backstabbing and power-hungry FemmeFatale the next time she is seen. There are hints given throughout ''Solo'' as to how and why this happened, though the details remain murky, both because Qi'ra feels too ashamed to tell Han, and to maintain an air of mystery and ambiguity to her.
* SympathyForTheHero: She regards Han with a great deal of sympathy, at one point even telling him that despite what he thinks, he is "[[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre one of the good guys]]". She seems to view his optimism and idealism as endearing, yet ultimately unrealistic, and she is genuinely happy he managed to gain his freedom. As he's on the receiving end of most of her PetTheDog moments, he's also a MoralityPet to her.
* ThatWomanIsDead: It becomes increasingly clear that the sweet and relatively moral FirstLove who was arrested and taken away from Han on Corellia died a long time ago.
* ThwartedEscape: At the beginning of ''Solo'', she and Han make a daring escape across Coronet City with a stolen vial of coaxium, hoping to bribe their way past an Imperial checkpoint and start a new life. Unfortunately, just as she's about to step through the gateway after her boyfriend, Lady Proxima's {{Mook}}s snatch Qi'ra and the Imperial officer sounds the alarm, leaving Han [[SeparatedByTheWall trapped on the other side of the gate]] and unable to reach Qi'ra. The novelization also reveals she made a number of failed attempts to escape from Dryden Vos, until he eventually offered her a position within the Crimson Dawn, he having been impressed by her skills and the lengths she was willing to go.
* TookALevelInBadass: In the span of three years, she goes from a Corellian petty criminal, to a top lieutenant in one of the biggest criminal syndicates in the galaxy, [[spoiler: and then to ''the leader'' of said syndicate]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: The three years of sole survival on both [[WretchedHive Corellia]] and with the Crimson Dawn has made her [[ItsAllAboutMe selfishly]] [[AmbitionIsEvil power-hungry]] and [[ManipulativeBitch deceptive]]. It should be noted that this [[BitchInSheepsClothing isn't immediately obvious]].
* TragicDream: She tells Han that after they got separated, to comfort herself she'd imagine she was off on an adventure with him in the ship they always talked about owning. [[spoiler: By the end of the film, she could possibly have a chance to make the dream come true, as Han asks her to come with him...but chooses instead to carry on with her criminal lifestyle, ending that possibility forever]].
* TragicKeepsake: Han's dice. He gave them to her as they were attempting to flee Corellia, only for her to be captured and separated from him. She kept the dice with her for three years and they were likely a constant reminder of what she'd lost (both Han and her shot at freedom). She eventually returns them to Han.
* TragicVillain: It's strongly implied she started out as this. Qi'ra was never originally interested in rising up the ranks of the criminal underworld, only turning to crime to survive due to [[OrphansOrdeal her circumstances]], while dreaming of a better life. After a few years though, she's completely given up on most of her childhood dreams of freedom and now just does whatever she can to survive. Part of her seems very much aware that she's done some truly horrible things, but clearly she feels [[IveComeTooFar it's too late]] to do anything but stick to her path.
* TrappedInVillainy: She seems to be a case of this at first, especially given Vos' statement that "[[ResignationsNotAccepted Once you're part of Crimson Dawn, you can't leave]]". Han, at the least, seems to view it this way. However, given certain implications and especially her actions at the end of the film, it's implied to be a [[PlayingWithATrope bit more complicated than that]]. [[spoiler: Namely, Qi'ra had a perfect opportunity to leave Crimson Dawn after killing Vos (or as L3-37 notes in the novelization, she could've also done a runner during the Kessel heist, she having been sent there unsupervised), but she instead willingly chooses to stay and secure her position within the syndicate, implying she's now more interested in [[AmbitionIsEvil power]] than flying off into the sunset with Han]].
* UnderestimatingBadassery: She severely underestimates [[spoiler:Darth Vader]]; while everyone else is freaking out she remain calm and confident, demands he pay her what she's owed, and believes her training [[spoiler:under Dryden and Maul]] will be enough for her to match him in a fight. [[spoiler:Vader]] quickly proves her wrong [[spoiler:and she's lucky he gets distracted by Luke's arrival or she'd be toast]]. ''Crimson Reign'' and ''Hidden Empire'' shows she underestimates Emperor Palaptine himself, though she nearly won against him and Vader/Anakin, [[spoiler:only for the Knights of Ren to betray her and destroy the Fermata Cage.]]
* TheUnfettered: She appears willing to do whatever she feels is necessary to survive, even if that means [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder screwing over]] her so-called friends; it's also insinuated she's committed a long line of serious crimes to get ahead. She's not ''entirely'' comfortable with this, however.
* UnkemptBeauty: Teenage Qi'ra has messy hair and stained clothing, but she's still attractive (especially considering she's played by Emilia Clarke). By the time she's in her twenties, she looks [[SheCleansUpNicely much cleaner and more glamorous]].
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Her war against Palpatine and his Empire involving the Fermata Cage would allow the Scourge to infect various droids across the Galaxy in ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarkDroids Dark Droids]]''.
* VillainousFriendship: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged]] with Dryden Vos. They seem quite amicable and Vos openly calls her the person he trusts most in the world, but Qi'ra also seems uncomfortable with his [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace closeness]] to her; it's also unclear if she's just [[FalseFriend playing up their intimacy]] to secure her position. [[spoiler: After killing Vos, Qi'ra seems a bit shaken and states "[[IDidWhatIIHadToDo I had to do it]]", muddying the waters further]].
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: [[spoiler: She duels Vos to the death to protect Han]].
* WaifFu: Despite being quite petite, she's skilled with martial arts and swords, and manages to defeat [[spoiler: Han and Vos]], both of whom are much taller and more physically imposing. In fairness, however, neither of them were really expecting her to attack them, which she likely [[ManipulativeBitch uses to her advantage]]. During the heist on Kessel, she notably charms her way around a Pyke Syndicate member to get him alone and then strikes once [[InTheBack his back is turned]], so it seems likely she frequently uses [[FemmeFatale trickery and her apparent delicateness]] to overcome opponents.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler: When Qi'ra reports Dryden's death and the missing coaxium to Maul, she pins both on Beckett but notably omits any mention of Han and Chewie being involved, demonstrating that while she is a self-serving opportunist, she has enough remaining decency not to sell out her childhood love and his best friend. As she's flying away alone in the ''First Light'', she can also be seen staring sadly at Han back on the ground, indicating she's not completely happy about her choices]].
* WomanOfWealthAndTaste: After joining Crimson Dawn, Qi'ra has altered her style to be more elegant and classy, wearing [[SimpleYetOpulent simple but expensive-looking]] jackets, gowns, suits and so on, paired with [[GoldMakesEverythingShiny gold jewellery]]. She fits right in with the other crims on the ''First Light''.
* WreckedWeapon: A downplayed variant where it actually works to the wielder's advantage. During her fight with [[spoiler: Dryden]], he cleaves her sword in two with a vibro-dagger, but this causes the dagger to become stuck in the blade. Qi'ra is able to disarm him and then [[HoistByHisOwnPetard stabs him in the chest with his dagger]] on the end of her own weapon.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Han briefly tries to convince her of this in the climax [[spoiler: when she has him at her mercy]], saying he knows who she really is beyond her role as a Crimson Dawn lieutenant. [[spoiler: She ends up turning on Dryden to save Han...but she ultimately rejects his offer to leave with him and start over, instead securing her ascension to Maul's second-in-command]].
* YouDidEverythingYouCould: Upon being reunited with Han, she reassures him he did the right thing by leaving her behind on Corellia when he expresses regret over it.
-->'''Han:''' That day...Sometimes, a lot of times, I think if...
-->'''Qi'ra:''' If you'd have stayed, they would've killed you. I'm glad you got out.
* YouDoNotWantToKnow: PlayedForDrama. She is deliberately vague about what her life has been like since she and Han were separated, in particular around what she had to do to survive. At one point, she says to Han that she wants to tell him everything "but I know if I do you won't look at me the same."
* YoungAndInCharge: At just 21, she's second-in-command to crime lord Dryden Vos [[spoiler: and takes his place by the end of ''Solo'']]. [[spoiler:After Maul's death at the hands of Obi-Wan, she remains unopposed in Crimson Dawn's leadership hierarchy.]]
