* PsychicLink
* TeamChef

* AssassinOutclassin: Avianna's assassin discovered this the hard way

* BadassCape: Mona's (or rather, Sa'Lia's) Cloak of Elvenkind
* BecomingTheMask: originally, Mona had been a mole for the [[BigBad Big Bad]] of the first arc. that lasted right up until Rylan's [[KillTheCutie Kill the Cutie]] moment (although honestly, she was leaning that way before that--it's hard not to get sucked into these guys' orbit)

* BullyingADragon: known for this. ironically, didn't do this when they faced an ''actual dragon.'' she was too busy being terrified out of her mind

* DeadpanSnarker: probably the most prolific example of this. Ric even named her "Monotony" for how deadpan she speaks
* DefrostingIceQueen
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Mona doesn't like the Dragonmarked houses that much, for good reason: corruption runs deep in Hestfall, especially in regards to House Woldhed. in fact, she has less patience for them, since they claim to be helping the "people" but only seem to be interested in keeping themselves, and the wealthy, in power and wealthy
* FakedKidnapping: how the Equalizer was ''planning'' on pulling Mona into his operation during the Hestfall Kidnapping arc. Mona was willing to go along with it, but the remaining Good Fraction members had other ideas

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: way, waaaaay deep down in there
* LovesOnlyGold
* TheMole: her original character arc within the party
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: it's a bit of a [[RunningGag running gag]] that whenever Mona tries to do something nice or kind it tends to blow up in her face
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: originally, at first. also invokes this when the Equalizer tries, unsuccessfully, to convince her to join him in his quest to uproot Hestfall
* OnlySaneMan: being the [[TeamMom Team Mom]], a lot of Mona's position in the party is just trying to keep everyone alive, from Avi's [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny "ooh, books"]] moments to Rylan and Joren's Halfling Antics.
* PlatonicLifePartners: with everyone in The Good Fraction, but especially Perry and Joren

* BecomingTheMask: originally, Mona had been a mole for the [[BigBad Big Bad]] of the first arc. that lasted right up until Rylan's [[ShootTheDog Shoot the Dog]] moment (although honestly, she was leaning that way before that--it's hard not to get sucked into these guys' orbit)

** -> "Kill them, and cement your place by my side forever."

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: prone to this. notable ones include the final [[FuckYou Fuck You]] to Mugroot and when she went off on Sylros for abandoning his family when they needed him

-> "Kill them, and cement your place by my side forever."

The eldest of the party, Mona was also the only [[TokenEvilCharacter evilly aligned character]] in the party. A mastermind rogue (and paladin of Boldrei!), Mona's also half-drow--a trait of hers that turned out to have significance when she learned that she was the long lost heir to House Khepriss'sera, a noble house in the Underdark. Mona is rude, blunt, and violent, and she's not necessarily a good person... but she loves her party more than anything, and is learning to love herself too.

* BrainyBrunette:

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:

* TheFace

* TheFace: they are the most outgoing of the party and are quite pretty--or handsome, depending on your pov and their mood that day

Avianna, affectionately known as "Avi" to her party, is a half-elf wizard and the leader of The Good Fraction. She is proud, rich, beautiful, and tragically gay. She's part of the Dragonmarked House Amaer, who specializes in investigation, and as such has special powers lending to her ability to perceive, insight, and investigate all kinds of things. Though she is socially awkward and, god, so paranoid, she deeply cares for her friends and her house.

Joren is a halfling cleric of Boldrei and is the other Dragonmarked member of the party. He makes up one half of the Halfling Antics duo, with Rylan, and has an intense loyalty to the party as he considers them his community. A very physically communicative person, sometimes it's a bit hard to understand him, but his heart is always in the right place and one can always count on him to put others above his own needs... especially when it comes to money, much to his party's chagrin.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: a genuinely good person, Perry is friendly and open to just about anyone they meet... up until you break their trust or hurt their friends. and if you kill them? [[BerserkButton you better run.]]

* Cloudcuckoolander: textbook definition
