Line 298:
* [[Bastard Understudy]]
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: {{spoiler|Zola}} learns this [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110117 the hard way]. Also, [[You Wouldn't Shoot Me|calling his bluff when he threatens someone with a weapon]] is a [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190107 bad idea]<ref>conspiracy spoiler!</ref>.
* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]: Even by the standards of the ''Valois'', Tarvek has had it ''bad''. His mother died when he was very small. His father was an Other-worshipping serial killer. His sister was a homicidal clank who ended up murdering their father and kept Tarvek on her string with regular death threats. His family fortress had a horde of Geisterdamen in the basement that would have killed him without blinking if they'd thought he was less than perfectly loyal to the Other. The family intrigue once killed twelve of his bodyguards in less than three years, some of them not even lasting a single month. He can't even show up at a family party without wearing a disguise because at least half the room would try to kill him. With the exception of Violetta, every one of the few relatives he's ever liked and tried to help has died horribly, and saving Violetta from being killed required lying to her to make her hate him and driving her away from him for years. Somebody give this boy a hug.
* [[The Charmer]]: Is quite a sweet-talker when he puts his mind to it.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Apparently [[Dysfunction Junction|congenital]]. He ''may'' be recovering, but readers are wary.
