* BadassTeacher: Hei-Ran has more of a role in this one than she did in the first series and the former headmistress gets to show of why she got that role. She taught bending to Fire Lord Zoryu and she’s so badass that she scares him, a head of state. She shows no fear when [[spoiler:Yun]] tries to kill her [[spoiler:by slashing her throat]] and gets the better of him when she gets an opening, despite being seconds from death.

* JapanesePoliteness: Well, more like fantastical Japanese equivalent politeness. Kyoshi learns through her time in the Fire Nation that they value politeness and decorum in a way the other three nations don’t. She manages to offend several different people, even with Rangi trying to help her.

* HonorBeforeReason: Hei-Ran tells Kyoshi point-blank that [[spoiler:if Yun kills her, it's fine, because it will give Kyoshi a shot at killing him in return, and that she deserves it for the hell she's put Kyoshi, Yun, and Rangi through, basically saying that she deserves to join Jianzhu, Kuruk, and Kelsang in death]]. Kyoshi neither accepts nor rejects this, but [[spoiler:in the end, takes the time to get Hei-Ran treated and saves her life, rather than pursuing Yun]].

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Hei-Ran kneels with a knife, tells her daughter that the Fire Lord is her witness and Atuat is her second... she only [[spoiler:cuts off her topknot, but it is very reminiscent of a ritual suicide, where the second would have the duty of finishing off the principle so that their death throes don't become too indecorous]].
* FamilyThemeNaming: Fire Lord Zoryu is among the many members of the Fire Nation royal family to have a prominent "Z" sound in his name. His half-brother's mother, Lady Huazo, points out that ''her'' family has a tradition of using the character "Zo" in names, but Zoryu's mother "thought it sounded pretty," not thinking at all about the political weirdness of naming her child the way her husband's mistress would have.

''The Shadow of Kyoshi'' is a 2020 novel set in the ''[[Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]]'' universe written by F.C. Yee (with consultation by series creator Creator/MichaelDanteDiMartino) and is the sequel to ''Literature/TheRiseOfKyoshi''. The story picks up two years later with the more confident and skilled titular heroine having introduced herself to the world as the true Avatar.
When the novel starts, Kyoshi has used her newfound wealth to set up shop in Ba Sing Se with her Airbender assistant Jinpa to quash various bandit uprisings across the Earth Kingdom. Jinpa keeps trying to get her to focus more on the political/diplomatic side of being the Avatar but she's hesitant to because she's not very good at it. She gets to a point where she can't ignore it anymore when she gets personally invited to attend the festival honoring the previous Fire Nation Avatar, Szeto, by the Fire Lord Zoryu himself.
From there she gets dragged into the internal conflict of the country, including drama with his bastard half-brother, Chaejin while dealing with problems of her own, like tracking down her friend Yun who inexplicably came back from his presumed death to kill Jianzhu at the climax of the previous book.
----
!!The book provides examples of the following tropes:
* FamilyThemeNaming: Fire Lord Zoryu is among the many members of the Fire Nation royal family to have a prominent "Z" sound in his name.
* HalfSiblingAngst: Chaejin is Zoryu's older brother but the latter became Fire Lord because the former is an illegitimate child.
* ItsAllMyFault: Both Hei-ran and Kyoshi blame themselves for Jianzhu going off the deep end and killing Kelsang and letting Yun get dragged off to the Spirit Wold with the intent of killing him.
* RealityEnsues: Kyoshi has been working for two whole years to find Yun at the beginning of the book but since he's one person traveling in the huge, populous Earth Kingdom continent, it's impossible to really to nail down his movements.
* RecognitionFailure: Kyoshi mistakes Chaejin for Fire Lord Zoryu without knowing the family drama involved.
