• ATasteOfTheLash: Complete with an added taste of religious fanaticism
• AffablyEvil: He's unfailingly polite, and he and Laurence first meet on a positive note. The relationship is damaged, come Crucible of Gold, when logistics force him to strand his captives - Laurence, Temeraire, and the rest of their companions - on a deserted island with no hope of escape until the French come back for them, with just enough supplies to stay barely alive.
• AnthropomorphicPersonification: Overlaps with the below.
• AttemptedRape
• BewareTheNiceOnes: He's one of the most genuinely amiable and friendly characters in the series, and normally wouldn't hurt a fly — but he's an unstoppable rugby player, and if you threaten his loved ones he'll lay you flat with one punch.
• BlackSheep: Her family considers her the odd one.
• Bookworm
• BrokenAce
• ClingyJealousGirl: She won't admit it, though.
• CrazyJealousGuy
• DeadpanSnarker
• EldritchAbomination: It's believed that the Beast is just a protrusion of something much worse inspecting our world. This is eventually proven wrong, but to be honest, the reality isn't much better.
• EvilPlan
• FemalesAreMoreInnocent: The only reason the three women want to wipe out all the men in the world is because they were horrifically abused by men and so they think all of them are evil. Even Ktonia herself fits this trope; Jihadain, her daughter, attacks Daniar, Kalak's wife, and is killed by him for it. Kthonia watches this happen and thinks everything is Kalak's fault.
• HeroicSelfDeprecation: From time to time.
• Jerkass: It can vary from story to story.
• LittleMissBadass: She's a "slip of a girl" and kicks butt after butt after butt...
• MagicKnight: Though tall, they are thin as rakes, yet one of physically strongest races, if not the strongest.
• Metaphorgotten: "Pleased with his metaphor, Fitz tried to extend it."
• MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He's less dramatic about it than the usual example of the trope, but he clearly comes to regret his hasty meddling in Jane and Bingley's relationship once he learns that Jane actually does have genuine feelings for Bingley. Not least because this completely poisons any chance he might have of convincing her sister to marry him.
• RebelLeader: In his youth.
• SingleMindedTwins: Sort of. They can't do anything apart, and are thereby treated as one person.
• TheManBehindTheMan: In this case, goblins. The B'wa Kell goblin triade were just a public nussiance until he organized and armed them.
• TheStarscream: Valentine saw him as this, although he really wasn't.
• TheUnfavourite: When Spencer's parents are home they tend to neglect her in favour of Melissa.
• Tykebomb: Raised since birth to lead the cannibalistic Tenescowri horde.
• VillainWithGoodPublicity: Initially.
