Line 24:
* [[Dark Chick]]: Rathina.
* [[Dark Is Evil]]
* [[
* [[The Evil Prince]]: {{spoiler|Gabriel Drake}}
* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Gabriel has eyes of silver. {{spoiler|So does anyone who uses the Dark Arts often enough, including Edric and Raphael Cariotis, aka Prince Lear.}}
Line 32:
* [[Generation Xerox]]: Tania is "the very image and reflection" of Titania, which is odd considering how many human incarnations she's lived through.
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Zara.
* [[Half
* [[Implausible Fencing Powers]]: Subverted. Although many people in Faerie are excellent fencers, this Troper can't recall one instance where their skills are actually implausible.
* [[Love Martyr]]: Rathina, so very much.
Line 43:
* [[Mordor]]: Ynis Maw and Ynis Borealis.
* [[Muggle Foster Parents]]: The Palmers. They have trouble adjusting to Anita/Tania's identity, especially Mr. Palmer, but are very kind and supportive throughout.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Tania always acts with the best of intentions, but sometimes ends up just making the situation worse. {{spoiler|Before the start of the series, experimenting with her powers was what got her lost in the first place. The sword she uses to free Edric, and then forgets about, is later used by Rathina to free the Sorcerer King. Bringing Connor through to cure [[The Plague]] accomplishes nothing, beyong making him miserable. Luckily she always manages to fix her mistakes somehow.}}
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]/[[And I Must Scream]]: The Amber Prisons. A case of [[Fridge Brilliance]] in that what Tania loves the most is to travel and explore; it's even a magical gift for her. No wonder the idea of eternal stasis is so horrible.
** Also {{spoiler|Gabriel - one look into his silver eyes, and he can skewer you with a sword and make you think he's doing you a favor.}}
Line 59:
* [[As You Wish]]: The quote from ''Romeo and Juliet'' that makes Tania finally realize which of her suitors truly loves her.
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: Only some of them. {{spoiler|Gabriel Drake for sure, and possibly his father.}}
* [[Armor
* [[Bertha in The Attic]]: Eden in her tower. {{spoiler|She gets better.}}
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: The entire ending with Tania's attempt to {{spoiler|defeat Gabriel and save Edric}} is just amazing and made of win.
Line 68:
* [[Kick the Dog]]: It's seeing how harshly {{spoiler|Gabriel}} treats {{spoiler|Edric}} that makes Tania realize he's the villain.
* [[Lady of War]]: Again, all the princesses.
* [[Laser
* [[Living MacGuffin]]: Tania, at first.
* [[MacGuffin]]: the soulbooks
Line 93:
* [[Terms of Endangerment]]: {{spoiler|Gabriel's "My Lady" sounds much less romantic this time around.}}
* [[The Quest]]
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Edric gives Tania a thorough telling-off when he finds out she's been to see a fortune teller, in spite of knowing that {{spoiler|Gabriel}} can reach her through a medium. She doesn't take it well.
----
== Book Three ==
Line 108:
* [[Tear Jerker]]: {{spoiler|Zara's funeral.}}
* [[The Power of Love]]: Between Oberon and Titania, and between the sisters (the Power of Seven).
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: Sancha, after {{spoiler|the Library is burned down, including the Soul Books.}}
* [[Unicorns]]: They're pretty, all right, but very dangerous. Not to mention carnivorous.
* [[Wacky Wayside Tribe]]: The Lios Foltaigg.
Line 133:
* [[Kid With the Leash]]: Lord Balor and his chained Salamander. {{spoiler|Once the Salamander is freed, it takes gleeful revenge and is glad to help Tania in return.}}
* [[Mind Rape]]: {{spoiler|Edric to Tania, taking on eerie shades of Gabriel Drake. Somewhat understandable, since he was Gabriel's adopted brother and sidekick for more than five hundred years. Some of his influence is bound to stick. But really, hypnotizing your ex-girlfriend into dancing with you when she clearly doesn't want to? Not nice.}}
** When {{spoiler|Ashling}} does the same thing to him later on, you can't help feeling as though it's [[Laser
* [[Mind Screw]]: The land of Erin. There's one region of endless night, another of endless day, one where the voices of dead loved ones call to travelers from the trees ... you would not want to live there. Connor perceives the entire Faerie Realm as this.
* [[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|Connor.}}
Line 144:
* [[Arc Words]]: "Do not listen to the hooves ... "
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Lear, to an extreme degree. Even Tania doesn't notice until it's almost too late.
* [[Friendship Moment]]: Jade comforting Tania, who's had yet another case of [[Laser
* [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]]: Dead. Birds. Flying.
* [[I Know Karate]]: Jade, who turns out to be quite the [[Badass Normal]] and surprisingly helpful.
Line 150:
* [[Pair the Spares]]: {{spoiler|Rathina and Titus, who was one of Zara's suitors before she died. Also, Titus is their step-cousin.}}
* [[Paranoia Fuel]]: {{spoiler|Lear puts an entire ''country'' under mind control.}}
* [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]]: After all her experiences with [[Prophetic Dreams]], Tania worries about whether her latest set of nightmares means anything or not. {{spoiler|It does.}}
* [[My Future Self and Me]]: {{spoiler|Tania travels back in time to recruit ''six'' of her previous human incarnations to help her save Faerie, which she finds somewhat horrifying - especially since she needs to fetch them just before their natural deaths.}}
* [[Save Both Worlds]]
Line 156:
* [[They Do]]: {{spoiler|Tania}} tells {{spoiler|Edric}} to 'ask her again', and when he does (in much less flowery terms than before, and being careful to call her by both names) she finally says yes.
* [[Villain With Good Publicity]]: {{spoiler|Lear, disguised as trusted advisor Raphael Cariotis.}}
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: {{spoiler|Hollin, who was magically banished to an unknown location by Edric and never heard from again. Also Oberon, who leaves to renew his bargain with the Divine Harper; the price he needs to pay is left unknown, but it is implied in a few parts of the book that he gave up his life to save Faerie.}}
