History Characters / DrowtalesVelVlozRess

* {{Badass}}: Look what it takes to [[spoiler:kill him]]!

* MindHive: Sort of. Most of them are usually clustered into a a handful of multifaced entities, though individuals do split off and rejoin as they please.

* WrongContextMagic: Her ability to see, hear, and even manifest the readers as demons is the only known case of this ability in the setting. WordOfGod outright states that he is never going to completely explain it.

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Their reputation, though individual members sometimes avert this, and WordOfGod is that they [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/?p=3943 deliberately play up looking evil]] as part of their battle tactics.

* ArmyOfThievesAndWhores: The Vloz'ress is the last stop for many of the most desperate people in Chel, and the life expectancy of their troops can be measured in ''weeks''.

* ShoutOut: Possibly, since her hairstyle and mask make her resemble [[TenchiMuyo Washuu.]]

* [[spoiler:EmergencyTransformation]]: [[spoiler:Subverted, it was AllJustADream, much to fans' relief]].

* [[spoiler:FakingTheDead]]: In Chapter 41, [[spoiler:Nau'kheol and Chrys'tel help her throw Nir'naya off her trail thanks to Chrys'tel's blood sorcery making it look like they killed her]].

* [[spoiler:TookALevelInJerkass]]: In her [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8715 first appearance]] after the 15 year timeskip [[spoiler:she orders Shoki and Baliir to break Maki's arm, and it's implied that she'd been torturing or at the very least threatening the other members of Maki's gang. This more ruthless side of her had been hinted at before, especially with her response to the attempt on her life where she nearly killed Nyo'ka, but it was still a shock to most fans. She also flat out refers to herself as a tyrant when talking to Baliir]].

* [[spoiler:AssholeVictim]]: [[spoiler:He may have had it coming, but the way he goes out is still pretty gruesome]].

* [[spoiler:OffWithHisHead]]: [[spoiler:But not before beating stabbed, beaten up, and then after being beheaded ''set on fire'' and having her aura sealed for good measure]].
* [[spoiler:RasputinianDeath]]: See above.

* [[spoiler:SuicideByCop]]: She tries this after [[spoiler:Kiel refuses to help her break out, [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=810 and screams after her insults about her mother]] while her thought bubbles indicate that she wants Kiel to kill her so she can be "set free", i.e. either spared the Kyorl execution, able to release her seed to cause more destruction, or both]]. Unfortunately for Sene'kha, Kiel's already left.

* [[spoiler:EyesDoNotBelongThere]]: [[spoiler:When his seed starts to awaken he gains a second set of eyes above his own]].
* [[spoiler:KarmicDeath]]: [[spoiler:Kiel intentionally [[InvokedTrope invokes this]] by using her mother's golem against him]].
* [[spoiler: RasputinianDeath]]: [[spoiler:Is set upon by nagas, and after fighting through them narrowly survives a manabomb, two stab wounds to the abdomen, and a fire blast. Then he releases his seed only to have his head split by Kiel'ndia's chain weapon. People on the forums agree that this takes the cake for Rasputinian Deaths out of all the characters in the comic]].

* [[spoiler:UnwittingPawn]]: [[spoiler:Kiel was poisoned in such a way that Kharla thought Larvova did it, but Kharla was smart enough to get Larvova to save Kiel instead. Because Nyo'ka's scourges show up to watch Kiel thought that Nyo'ka ordered it, but they were in fact acting on their own, hoping to turn Kharla against Larvova. It nearly cost Nyo'ka her life, so needless to say she wasn't pleased with them, and one of them gets killed for his troubles. Kiel later feeds his body to Demon!Naal]].

* [[spoiler:DragonAscendant]]: After [[spoiler:Sene'kha's death, Ni'bai announces that [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7411 she'll finish the job Sene'kha started]]. Appropriately, as a former Sharen she's also a dragon in another sense as well]].

* [[spoiler:DirtyCop]]: Her backstory, [[spoiler:since under Syphile's management she was apparently allowed to do whatever she wanted, but once Ariel took over she was demoted]].
* [[spoiler:FallenHero]]: At the end of Chapter 38, [[spoiler:we see that her squad helped defend the district in the Nidraa'chal War. WordOfGod is that Maki and her squad's fall from grace came from taking too many bribes until their reputation was soiled to the eyes of their peers within the Sarghress and the commoners they were supposed to protect]].

* [[spoiler:AssholeVictim]] ([[spoiler:he may have had it coming, but the way he goes out is still pretty gruesome]])
* {{Delinquents}} (he eventually gets kicked out of all his classes at Orthorbbae, forcing him to leave the school [[spoiler:where Ariel nabs him]])
* DyingCurse ([[spoiler:his last words are promising that Kharla will kill all of them]])
* GroinAttack (he tries this on Ariel, and when he finds [[CrotchGrabSexCheck there's nothing to grab]] he figures out that she's female)
* HeManWomanHater (he's definitely this, even telling Ariel after he finds out her gender that [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=510 "I thought you were a freak, but you're worse, you're female!"]], but it was never explained why. In fact when he [[spoiler: stabs Ariel]] he can be seen happily murmuring that [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=811 "there will be one less female in the world"]] as he makes his getaway. Might have something to do with his experience with the Vloz'ress nether summoners, all of whom are female and prone to ChronicBackstabbingDisorder)
* {{Jerkass}} (his first words are complaining that he doesn't want to be in a class with a bunch of "girly freaks" and he gets progressively more jerkish, attempting to kill Ariel and later attacking her when they're on the same team)
* UnfortunateNames (it's not known if it was intentional, but his name is a homophone for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkin Merkin]], a pubic wig)
* UnsettlingGenderReveal (he [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=269 discovers]] Ariel's real gender by accidental CrotchGrabSexCheck)

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder (comes naturally with the Vloz'ress, but Sene'kha seemed to be especially good at it to not only get her position, but hold it for as long as she did)
* TheDogBitesBack ([[spoiler:Kiel refuses to help her escape and leaves her to be executed]])
* ManipulativeBastard (is heavily implied to have purposely arranged Kiel's mother's death, and a sidestory shows that she actually went ''looking'' for Kharla and found her in her insane state)
* [[spoiler:OffWithHisHead]] ([[spoiler:but not before beating stabbed, beaten up, and then after being beheaded ''set on fire'' and having her aura sealed for good measure]])
* [[spoiler:RasputinianDeath]] (see above)
* ShoutOut (her name is likely a reference to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_the_Younger Seneca the Younger]], an advisor to Emperor Nero who was executed for supposedly being complicit in an assassination plot)
* TheStarscream (it's heavily implied that she pulled this on Kiel's mother)
* [[spoiler:SuicideByCop]] (she tries this after [[spoiler:Kiel refuses to help her break out, [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=810 and screams after her insults about her mother]] while her thought bubbles indicate that she wants Kiel to kill her so she can be "set free", i.e. either spared the Kyorl execution, able to release her seed to cause more destruction, or both]]. Unfortunately for Sene'kha, Kiel's already left.)

* AmbiguousDisorder (his preference for golems over people suggests this, though it might be because of his experiences in the cut-throat Vloz'ress. It's also implied that he's always been a little odd.)
* ArtificialLimbs (in addition to his natural arms, has two golem arms as well)
* BasementDweller (resides in the bottom of the old Vloz'ress tower)
* MadEye (flashbacks show [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=449 one of his irises noticeably larger than the other]], and now one is a golem prosthetic on his left eye)

* MurderByInaction (in chapter 47 [[spoiler:runs across Ni'bai desperately clinging to a cliff after the fortress collapses into the rift, but simply leaves her there to fall. Given that she nearly caused the end of the world and had dealt irreparable damage to his clan, this is quite justified.]])
* OnlySaneMan (ironically even though he'd definitely quirky he's still pretty functional)
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere (in chapter 47 [[spoiler:after the Vloz'ress tower falls a second time]])
* ShrinkingViolet (he makes it clear that [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6771 he doesn't want to involve himself in politics]])

* AlwaysChaoticEvil (their reputation, though individual members sometimes avert this, and WordOfGod is that they [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/?p=3943 deliberately play up looking evil]] as part of their battle tactics)
* AnimalMotifs (their clan mount is the [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20060409c02p030.JPG snake]], and WordOfGod is that the large snakes they ride actually belonged to the Dutan'vir originally and were engineered by the Jaal'darya)
* ArmyOfThievesAndWhores (the Vloz'ress is the last stop for many of the most desperate people in Chel, and the life expectancy of their troops can be measured in ''weeks''.)
* BedlamHouse (essentially what their fortress is)
* BreakingTheFellowship ([[spoiler:The Vloz'ress clan disbands in the aftermath of Ni'bai's treachery.]])
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder (a prerequisite for anyone who wants to gain power in the clan)
* TheCoup ([[spoiler:With Kiel'ndia, Larvova, and Nyo'ka preoccupied, Ni'bai seizes control of Kharla'ggen and the Vlozz'ress fortress from right under their noses]].)
* DarkIsNotEvil (under Ven'ndia, they were [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=444 weird but harmless]], and despite being demon worshipers sought to learn from them rather than use them as weapons. Thoroughly averted once Sene'kha took over)
* DwindlingParty (in chapter 41, [[spoiler:Kiel's group infiltrating the Beldrobbaen fortress gets gradually picked down after they make their escape. Kiel {{Lampshade}}s this and, as the protagonist, decides to be the one to make the last stand to put an end this trope, sending Vicyl and Fame away.]])
* EldritchLocation (invoked, their fortress is intentionally designed to confuse people who enter it, including golems that [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=442 reached out and attack you]] as you enter)
* EvilIsVisceral (their fortress definitely seems to play off this)
* TheFriendNobodyLikes (on a whole clan level the Vloz are this to the rest of Chel, only being a Great Clan by virtue of their partnership with the Sharen, and even the Sharen don't seem all that fond of them.)
* MachiavelliWasWrong (the clan provides an interesting contrast to the Sarghress, who themselves were born out of the disparate, disenfranchised dregs of Chelian society and were united around one leader. Despite all her faults the Sarghress still ''respect'' Quain'tana and her ideals, while the Vloz'ress fear first Kharla'ggen and Sene'kha and later Kiel but remain internally fractured to the point that they do not have much political clout and everyone is essentially out for themselves. Kiel at least is attempting to change this with Baliir's influence, but still largely rules through fear of Kharla keeping the others in line)
* MaskPower (everyone in the clan wears masks, likely playing off of Kharla's appearance, and WordOfGod is that they intentionally make themselves look scary. Also is handy on a few occasions when other characters, most notably [[spoiler:Chrys, Shinae and Nau]] in chapter 44 are able to pass themselves off as Vloz'ress [[spoiler:at the Nidraa'chal gathering]] by donning masks and no one looks twice at them)
* MeaningfulRename (Kiel convinces Kharla to change the Vel prefix to Val as a matter of signalling her efforts to reform the clan, and likely as a middle finger to the Sharen.)

* ThePurge ([[spoiler:Ni'bai eliminates Kharla'ggen's original servants to ensure she and her co-conspirators have full control over her.]])

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits (originally, and after becoming a "proper" Val clan they're the most internally disorganized of the nine Great Clans, and next to the Sarghress and Nal'Sarkoth are probably the most diverse clan in terms of race)
* RummageSaleReject (one of the signs that the Vloz are not the most affluent clan is that they have no clan uniform to speak of, and everyone's gear is scrounged from somewhere else, in some cases such as Finol and Korrin literally out of the trash. The only consistencies are color scheme, which can be done with a quick coat of paint, and use of masks, which are all custom made to the user)
* TheUnfavorite (''nobody'' likes the Vloz'ress, just check the [[http://wiki.drowtales.com/index.php/Clan_Relations clan relations chart]]. Even the Sharen, who were behind the Vloz's rise to power, only like them on the surface, everyone else either hates them or is neutral towards them.)
* UnwittingPawn (it's stated several times that the Vloz are really nothing more than a pawn of the Sharen. After the {{Timeskip}} however, this seems to have been lessened as Kiel has taken to openly opposing them [[spoiler:though she's not as free of their control as she thinks since she's still aiding Snadhya'rune's goals]])

* AbhorrentAdmirer (to Nau'kheol, though when pressed [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive/20130918c44p013_KSRFsyFyze.jpg he claims to already be taken by her]], apparently considering that preferable to being used as a BabyFactory to help his mother's alliances. At the end of chapter 46 he seems to have [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10343 decided]] a relationship wouldn't be so bad.)
* AnimalMotifs (turtles, due to her statement that the Netheworld is "[[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=5254 turtles all the way to infinity]]")

* BiTheWay (though bisexuality is the norm in drow society, she directly states that while she'd like a harem of princes, she'd also take at least one princess, [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=5365 just for fun's sake]]. She's also expressed interest in both Nau'kheol and Chry'stel, and along with her relationship with Naal she seems halfway serious about [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9148 making out with a guard]].)
** Then there's [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9241 her reaction]] to [[spoiler:being saved by Chrys'tel and Nau'kheol]] in chapter 41, saying that if the prince is too busy to give her mouth-to-mouth she'll take the princess. The two of them [[{{Facepalm}} react like you'd expect]].
* BigNo ([[spoiler:upon seeing Naal get stabbed]])
* BreakTheCutie (She's undoubtedly gone through this, between watching her mother get turned into a puppet, whatever else she's seen in the Vloz'ress, [[spoiler:seeing her best friend taken over by her seed]] and [[spoiler:being poisoned]])
* BreakingTheFourthWall (her habit of talking to her "imaginary friend" who just happens to be in the same place as the reader is seen by the other characters as a symptom of madness)

* CerebusRetcon (Kiel's habit of addressing the fourth wall was originally just something the author [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=437 thought would be interesting]], but then after the timeskip it's been revealed that it's actually because [[spoiler:her seed is a human-like demon]] and far more serious)
* TheChessmaster (one in training)
* AChildShallLeadThem (after [[spoiler:Sene'kha's death]] she begins taking over the clan, and by the time of the timeskip seems to have more or less succeeded, at least as much as one can with a group like the Vloz'ress)
* CloudCuckooLander ('cuckoo lander' barely even begins to describe all the crazy stuff that floats through her head)
** TheCloudcuckoolanderWasRight (it seems she really was right about [[spoiler:there still being something left of Naal in Demon!Naal]] and she correctly realizes that she's actually in a comic)
* CuteLittleFangs (Often displays these during her more mischievous moments)
* DespairEventHorizon ([[spoiler:Naal's seed taking her over]] nearly causes her to cross it, to the point that [[spoiler:[[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7811 she's willing to let Demon!Naal eat her]], but luckily there's enough of Naal's mind left that she pushes Kiel out instead]])

* [[spoiler:EmergencyTransformation]] ([[spoiler:subverted, it was AllJustADream, much to fans' relief]])
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas (the "bad" is up for debate since she's one of the more decent Vloz'ress, but she certainly loved her mother and was devastated by what happened to her)
* ExoticEyeDesigns (after the timeskip, she displays [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8715 the same sort]] [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8878 of white spiral]] in her eyes as Sha'sana on several occasions, which most likely represents [[spoiler:how she's merged with her seed completely]])
* [[spoiler:FakingTheDead]] (In chapter 41, [[spoiler:Nau'kheol and Chrys'tel help her throw Nir'naya off her trail thanks to Chrys'tel's blood sorcery making it look like they killed her]])
* FiveStagesOfGrief (immediately after [[spoiler:[[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7134 Naal's horrific demise]]]] she shows classic signs of stage 1, denial)

* FlippingTheBird (gives [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8878 both barrels at once]] to Khaless)
* FoeRomanceSubtext (Has a lot of interaction with Chirinide outside of regular story context, but still more or less canon. Her fight with Chirinide [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=687 also involved a kiss]].)
* ForgotToFeedTheMonster (realizes with an OhCrap that she forget to feed [[spoiler:Demon!Naal]] while in Felde, and immediately rushes off to fix this. This sets off a chain of events that indirectly [[spoiler:saves the day, as this resulted in Demon!Naal breaking out and ultimately being present to try and devour Kharla just as Kiel was about to be possessed]])
* HarmfulToMinors (seeing her mother get dollified seems to only have been the tip of the iceberg as far as what she's experienced. She's also tellingly referred to as Ven'ndia's only ''surviving'' daughter, implying that she's also lost siblings to the violence in her clan)
* HearingVoices (A side effect of being tainted [[spoiler:and experiencing a SplitPersonalityMerge with a human-like demon. The voices she hears are actually the fragments of the demon's personality.]])
* HostileShowTakeover (she once took over the Drowtales {{Twitter}} account and promptly demanded a tribute of princes, though she'd also accept princesses)

* HumiliationConga (she puts Chiri through one of these in the "[[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8869 Netherworld TV]]" series of flash animations, which are shown to have taken place before the events of chapter 41 and emboldened her to carry out later events.)
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold (she's not always the nicest person, but if she counts you as a friend or a member of her "crew" she'll do anything in her power to help and protect you, even if it involves going head to head with someone like Kalki or risking the wrath of Snadhya'rune to break you out of prison)
* KidHero (played straight and then horribly deconstructed when [[spoiler:she almost gets killed by poisoning, has a nightmare where she gets a doll body and Larvova scolds her to emphasize how stupid it is to try to do it all on her own]])
* IHaveTheHighGround ([[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8852 With difficulty]])
* TheLadette (despite being only 24, or physically 12 by human standards, she fits this among the other female characters in terms of personality. After the timeskip even more so.)
* LampshadeHanging (in chapter 32 she breaks the fourth wall and [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7803 addresses]] how reckless [[spoiler:opening the morgue where Demon!Naal is trapped]] is)
* TheLostLenore ([[spoiler:Naal'suul]] becomes something like this to her, with the twist that the "Lenore" is not technically dead)
* LoveableSexManiac ([[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20100504c24p002_6794.jpg "Princes, I tell you. Lots of them. Just. Waiting. For. Me!"]])

* MediumAwareness (seems aware that she's in a comic, and the final Ask Kiel page says that she'll be showing up in the story proper on September 4th, and then in the comic itself makes a reference to Daydream, another section of the website)
* MessyHair (not immediately obvious, but just compare her hair when it's down [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6781 here]] to when Naal [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1317 manages to brush it out]] at the cost of her hairbrushes. Not washing it for a long time will do that.)
* {{Mooning}} (shown [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9815 doing this to Snadhya'rune]] in a chibi page for chapter 44. WordOfGod indicates that it was originally supposed to happen in the actual chapter, but he changed his mind since it would have broken the mood, but it stayed on as a chibi since Kiel totally would have done it)
* MoralMyopia (this is one of Kiel's more pronounced character flaws, since as long as the people she personally cares about are safe she doesn't particularly mind what happens to the rest of the world, something Baliir [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10670 calls her out on]] when [[spoiler:Kharla's demon-God possession puts the entirety of Chel, if not the world, at risk]].)
* NotMeThisTime (Chiri of all people comes to this conclusion when she hears it theorized that Kiel [[spoiler:killed Shimi'lande]], since while it does fit Kiels' M.O. she thinks certain things do not match up. Kiel herself also [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9448 insists]] she didn't do it when Chrys'tel refers to her as doing it, but she's ignored.)
* OhCrap ([[spoiler:Her response to learning that Khaless introduced Kharla'ggen to ''sex'', meaning that childhood games will no longer be enough to keep her occupied.]])

* OddFriendship (With Naal, since they are from the newest clan to Chel and one of the oldest respectively, and Naal comes from wealth and privilege while Kiel comes from the opposite, even after the Vloz'ress rise to Val-hood.)
* OmnicidalNeutral (Her solution for the District War, inspired by Baliir. She hates the Sarghress and Kyrol, but also hates Sarv'swati's faction of the Sharen almost as much. The only major side she likes is Zala'ess's faction of the Sharen. She aims to murder Quain'tana, Sil'lice, Shimi'lande, Sarv'swati, and the [[spoiler:false]] empress, believing this will end the war. But in practice, the only one of those people she succeeds in assassinating [[spoiler:unintentionally aids the Sarghress and hurts the Sharen]].)
* ThePigpen (more of an InformedFlaw than anything, but [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6971 references]] have been made about Kiel's personal hygiene not being the best, to the point that when she does put the effort in it shows, see SheCleansUpNicely)
* PlayingWithFire (It isn't her elemental affinity, but she is able to manipulate it thanks to the foci embedded in her gauntlets.)
* PowersViaPossession (Some of Kiel'ndia's unique abilities seem to have something to do with the demon she was tainted with.)
* RapunzelHair (not immediately obvious since it's usually in a ponytail, and in one chibi page Naal even says [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6793 that Kiel's hair is longer than hers]])
* RefugeInAudacity (her strategy for entering Beldrobbaen territory [[spoiler:to assassinate Diva's body double]] is to [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9145 brazenly ride up in a turtle tank while making small talk with the sniper and guards patrolling]]. And then [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9148 offer to make out with one of the guards]]. And it ''works''.)
* ReplacementGoldfish (played for laughs in [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7391 one chibi page]] where she makes a [[spoiler:Naal'ga]] then not so much when we see that she [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7716 actually did it]].)

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship (with Naal, see [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=1229 this]])

* ScarsAreForever (certain pieces of NSFW art have shown that the scarring on her chest from [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7377 the poisoning incident]] remain even after the timeskip)
* SheCleansUpNicely (courtesy of Naal, and later [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9544 when she gets a new outfit]] her hair gets brushed out)
* {{Shotacon}} ([[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7721 played for laughs]], but not as squicky as some examples since it's more innocent than anything and they're not too far apart in age)
* StaringDownCthulhu ([[spoiler:She more or less confronts a demon god, and WordOfGod suggests that it may well be intimidated by the fact that she is unafraid.]])
* TakeThatAudience (Mentions that a couple of the voices in her head want her to "[[LesYay get it on with [Khaless], ]]but hey, [[BSideComics they're]] [[FanService Daydreamers]]")

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl (the tomboy to Naal's girly girl, and to a lesser extent with Kharla, who tends to wear more feminine clothing that Kiel)
* [[spoiler:TookALevelInJerkass]] (In her [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8715 first appearance]] after the 15 year timeskip [[spoiler:she orders Shoki and Baliir to break Maki's arm, and it's implied that she'd been torturing or at the very least threatening the other members of Maki's gang. This more ruthless side of her had been hinted at before, especially with her response to the attempt on her life where she nearly killed Nyo'ka, but it was still a shock to most fans. She also flat out refers to herself as a tyrant when talking to Baliir]])

* TraumaCongaLine (Chapter 27 has [[spoiler:Naal's death]] and then chapter 28 has [[spoiler:her break down because of Naal's death, then be poisoned and have a nightmare where her body has become a doll and only live because one of her rivals was forced to save her life by Kharla, and then she's reminded of her own mother when she bursts in to kill Nyo'ka and sees her kids, and then break down ''again'']])

* UnwittingPawn (Not entirely so, but [[spoiler:when Kiel assassinates the false empress with Khaless's help, it is unlikely that she fully understands just how insidious Snadhya'rune's plans are. In fact, Khaless offers to let Kiel be a proxy in assassinating quite a few major figures, which would greatly help Snadhya'rune's efforts to create a power vacuum.]])
* WeirdnessCoupon (a lot of her strange behavior in-universe is dismissed this way, either with "It's Kiel" or "Well she is a Vloz'ress")
* WellIntentionedExtremist (after the timeskip she winds up parroting some of what Balirr's said about the clan system, and WordOfGod is that she's not consciously aware of it but has been around him enough that it's rubbed off)
* WildCard (post-timeskip, she seems to be one of those to the Sharen Sarghress War. While she likes Zala'ess, she opposes the Sharen as a whole, but hates the Sarghress as well. Her actions, like [[spoiler:assassinating Diva'ratrika's body double]] are [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9127 described]] [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9142 by her]] as her attempt to throw a wrench into the entire status quo. She hopes to assassinate Quain'tana next.)

* WolverinePublicity (gets a certain amount of this since the start of Arc 2. Besides now being one of the "face" characters in the RotatingArcs, she's also shown up in most of the other site's archives including the Relic Hunter games and Slavemaster.)
* WrongContextMagic (her ability to see, hear, and even manifest the readers as demons is the only known case of this ability in the setting. WordOfGod outright states that he is never going to completely explain it.)
* YourMom (seems to like this tactic)

* KilledOfForReal: Falls to his death off a lift.

!!Nimiel*[[note]]Created by Negamalice[[/note]]

Nimiel Vloz'ress (nee Val'Beldrobbaen) is the replacement caretaker for Kharla'ggen after the death of Nainai.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In Chaper 43, Kharla'ggen apparently has a new caretaker. Given the circumstances, it's possible that Nimiel may have been [[BusCrash killed/dollified by the Ill'haress at some point.]]
