WTW CHARACTER EVENTS | TROPES
SILK HIDING STEEL
↳ "They are beautiful things, kind and pure, clothed in fine dresses and soft gloves who hold silk fans... made of sharpened blades. In short, beware the proper ones." -- TV Tropes
While there are many at the imperial court who dress their treachery up with smiles, throughout the story, Fenice strives to turn 'delicate and unassuming' into a weapon of it's own. Fragile and doll-like in appearance, Fenice has spent most of her life being viewed as weak and helpless. Putting her pride aside, she isn't adverse to using these conceptions to her own advantage, biding her time for the right opportunity to strike. The unlucky ones who manage to see behind the veil find out far too late that her smile as filled with wolf's teeth.
PRINCELING RIVALRY
↳ "It's good to be the Prince. Born to power, destined to inherit rule of the Kingdom from your parents when their time comes. Bless their souls. Until you realize that kind of privilege only goes to the first son. If you're unlucky enough to be the second born, or if you just hate the heir, you really gotta hope big brother doesn't have any kids or is unable to perform his duties." -- TV Tropes
Not exactly adhering to the trope as Aetier doesn't practice primogeniture, but the entire crux of the plot of WCTD and the history of Aetier is filled with the vi Aetier heirs competing with each other for a chance at the crown. There is family and there are enemies. For the vi Aetiers, these two are one and the same.
SINS OF THE FATHER
↳ "The act of exacting revenge upon the descendants of the one who originally did the wrong. [...] The trope name comes from the ancient saying: "The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon their children." -- TV Tropes
The Vasilier Dantalion vi Aetier will go down in history with many epithets, among them "The Great," "Areia-Blessed," "The Butcher of Heira," and most notably "Kinslayer." His reign brought a new era of glory and prosperity to his empire. But that golden age comes at a price-- one that his children will have to bear.

person on the train reading a book hot
you’re totally their type . well , you’re not . but that’s what the person across from you is thinking as you sit there , completely oblivious . you’re mysterious , and serene , and look so natural sitting there on the train they think your feet might be bolted to the floor the way the chairs and safety rails are . you’re in your own world . you’re reading something with an intriguing title , and without even knowing it , passengers are praying for some reason that you’ll look up and ask for their number . you don’t , of course , and they don’t ask for yours , either . how could they disturb such a peaceful moment ? but despite the fact that nothing was said , they managed to fall in love with you for 15 minutes . for the rest of the day they think about what your voice might’ve sounded like , what your interests might’ve been , how you might’ve smiled at them like they were your whole world if they’d managed to make you feel that way . you have that effect on people , in case you didn’t know .
