** To the Malazan Empire's effort to suppress the Seven Cities Rebellion. At the end of Book I of ''Literature/DeadhouseGates'', the Red Blades successfully [[spoiler: kill Sha'ik Elder, depriving the rebels of their popular leader and the direct influence of the Whirlwind Goddess]]. From what we see of the factions that make up the Whirlwind, this would likely have caused them to turn on each other and self-immolate despite the devastating success of their initial onslaught. While [[spoiler: this eventually comes about anyway]], throughout ''Literature/HouseOfChains'' Felisin's [[spoiler: symbolic significance as Sha'ik Reborn and single-minded determination to kill Tavore manage to keep the rebellion united longer than it would realistically have been otherwise]].
** At a more personal level, to Tavore's plans. By [[spoiler: refusing to forgive Tavore for her betrayal or see the botched rescue plan as in any way making up for it]], she imposes - or rather, refuses to waive - an irreversible moral cost on Tavore's commitment to [[spoiler: liberate the Crippled God]]. While this remains largely hidden from Tavore due to [[spoiler: the manner of Felisin and Baudin's deaths, and Pearl and Lostara's decision not to tell Tavore what actually happened to Felisin]], it has a huge impact on the truth of what her choices led to.
** She [[LampshadeHanging Lampshades]] this unwillingness to accept one's fate in a way which is emblematic for one of the themes of the series:

** To a lesser extent, this also applies to her companions Heboric and, especially, Baudin. The two men, much older and hardened from difficult lives, often refuse to show empathy for the shattering of Felisin's sheltered world and treat her with distrust and contempt. Baudin sexualises her much like a host of other abusers, and both he and Heboric slut-shame her for her use of sex to survive. They mock her Stockholm Syndrome as having made Skullcup her "paradise" and initially plan to [[spoiler: leave her there when they escape.]] Felisin still cares about both of them, extracting favours from Beneth to make their enslavement easier, trying to help Heboric with his disability, and [[spoiler: cradling Baudin's head as he dies]].
