Small Name, Big Ego: Leofwine considers herself the power behind the throne for Dagan and aspired to be the same for Humble Joan, but Dagan makes it clear that nobody thought that highly of her.

God Save Us from the Queen!: It's clear throughout the film that Queen Dagan is seen as an arrogant tyrant by her people. Felix only lists her at #20 when discussing most tyrannical rulers of all time, though!

Rags to Royalty: Ultimately Dagan declares that Shulmay will be the new queen as she recognises that her former servant is a more benevolent person and worthy potential ruler than Dagan herself.

Agony of the Feet: Dagan is noted to have a fondness for her feet, so Humble Joan decides to demonstrate fire-powder by using a small bag of it to blow off some of Dagan's toes.

comment
Took a Level in Kindness: Despite her previous arrogance, Dagan ultimately comes to see Shulmay and Bobik as true friends. In the final confrontation with Humble Joan, Dagan even lies to protect the other two from Joan's wrath even when she had every reason to believe they had genuinely abandoned her.

The Dragon: Leofwine is basically this to Dagan and later to Humble Joan, although she considers herself the one "really" in charge in both cases.

Because You Were Nice to Me: Basically Shulmay's motives for protecting Dagan, albeit because Dagan's mother was good to Shulmay rather than Dagan herself.

What You Are in the Dark: While Dagan acts like an arrogant queen willing to order others to the torture, ultimately Shulmay and Bobik recognise that she doesn't actually like to see other people suffer.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane
 Seize Them! (2024) / int_cb70651c
comment
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Tales are told of the "Man-Wolf" who lives in "a certain forest", who was apparently created when Dagan's father tortured a man to try and make a man-wolf to serve as another companion in the style of his existing pet wolves. When Dagan and Shulmay are attacked by the Man-Wolf in the dark forest, Dagan hits him with her crown and he is shown as a normal human, declaring that the touch of the crown has restored him, but it could just be that Dagan's father drove the man mad and Dagan hitting the "Man-Wolf" with her crown snapped him out of it.

Mummy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: Dagan resents how her mother basically left her alone while she was growing up, but Shulmay ultimately reveals that this was because Dagan's father ordered her mother kept away because he thought a mother's love would make Dagan soft.

Refreshingly Normal Life-Choice: At the conclusion, Dagan appoints Shulmay the new queen, apparently electing to essentially fake her death, and is shown making a new living as a children's entertainer performing puppet shows.
