Line 37:
* [[Determined Widow]]: Sarah essentially becomes this after {{spoiler|Alexander's murder}}, though he died before the wedding.
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: Sarah, more than once.
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: Usually by dint of being [[Too Dumb to Live]]; all of the main female characters avert this, except Guinevere. Occasionally a [[Decoy Damsel]], such as the case of Lyonesse.
* [[Epic Fail]]: The cover synopsis (not by Morris) for ''Legend of the King'' pulled one of these in the grammar department. The villains were suddenly made out to be the heroes thanks to the epic grammar failure of Houghton Mifflin:
{{quote|"Only by maintaining their faith, selflessness, and honor, can Morgause and Mordred banish and defeat dark magic from England forever."}}
Line 72:
{{quote|"I'm [[Sarcasm Mode|shocked, utterly shocked]]," Rhience said. "Aghast, no less. I would never have imagined that a gently born young lady like you would have even known such words, let alone utter them! And all strung together like that, too!" }}
* [[Nature Spirit]]: Dinadan makes friends with one.
* [[Neutral Female]]: Lampshaded and mocked, along with the [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]].
* [[No Hero to His Valet]]: Averted by Gawain and some of the other knights, but holds true for others, especially Gareth and Tristram (not because they're mean, but because they are absolute morons).
* [[No Sense of Direction]]: Sir Gareth. One of his brothers comments that he "needs a trail of breadcrumbs to find his own chamber pot".
