Unreliable Narrator | |
| A Dowry of Blood / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: The book is written as a letter that Constanta is writing to her husband, Dracula. The unreliability comes from the fact that she tries to paint him as far more benevolent than he actually is, only to slowly start to discover that he's a depraved monster and sociopath underneath the kind facade he gives out. | |

The Sociopath | |
| A Dowry of Blood / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: The narrator tries hard to think Dracula is a loving husband to her and the fellow members of his harem, but in reality he's a heartless monster and sociopath. He's charismatic, manipulative and only values his family as people he owns. | |

Bait the Dog | |
| A Dowry of Blood / int_4783acfa | comment |
Bait the Dog: Count Dracula seems as first to be a friendly and attentive husband to Constanta, but over the course of the novel she discovers more and more that he's truly an insidious monster that puts on airs. His seemingly kind acts simply mask a monster who's incapable of true love. | |

Crazy Jealous Guy | |
| A Dowry of Blood / int_50b9b3d0 | comment |
Crazy Jealous Guy: Dracula is very possessive of his harem despite the seemingly nice demeanor he initially gives off. This is because he views them less as people and more as possessions and has even gotten rid of any brides who he believes have outlived their usefulness. He explodes into violet tempers if he even thinks his harem have affection for anyone else. | |

Really 700 Years Old | |
| A Dowry of Blood / int_5c5ac0e2 | comment |
Really 700 Years Old: Dracula looks like a handsome, romanesqe young man, but in reality he's over a thousand years old as vampires can only gain the ability to sire others into other vampires after they reach that age. | |

Immortality Bisexuality | |
| A Dowry of Blood / int_7c9f4ed7 | comment |

| A Dowry of Blood / int_90769dd0 | comment |
Evil Genius: Dracula is fascinated with learning more about not just his own vampirism but human intellect. He has, over his long immortal life, carefully sought to learn and improve as much as he can and now is a genuine genius. He intentionally surrounds himself with intellectual minds in a search for more and more knowledge. | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
| A Dowry of Blood / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: Vampires here are able to go out in sunlight normally and feed off blood, but do not need to take the lives of others. Vampires initially start off as weak but their blood grows more powerful as they mature, with vampires that reach 1000 years old able to sire and create new vampires. | |

No Name Given | |
| A Dowry of Blood / int_ca87e3ec | comment |
No Name Given: Played With. The cover synopsis and advertising makes it clear that Constanta's husband is Count Dracula himself, but in the book itself he's only every referred to by her as "you" since the novel is addressed to him. This is intentional as, since Dracula stripped her of her name and renamed her Constanta to make her in his own image, she wishes to destroy his name as well to make him nothing but a bad memory. | |

Whole-Plot Reference: Well the book is meant as an origin story of the brides of Dracula it also takes a lot from the story of Bluebeard with a naive wife whose murderous husband demands she not see his things in his special room, only for her to discover that he murdered his previous spouses. | |

Fully-Embraced Fiend: Dracula enjoys being a vampire and killing his victims, having embraced being a beast. Notably his harem indicate he could feed off the guilty or not kill his victims, but he chooses not to and preys on innocents because he likes it. | |

Vampire Procreation Limit | |
| A Dowry of Blood / int_e9475b38 | comment |
Vampire Procreation Limit: Vampires are only able to sire new vampires if two methods are used. The vampire in question must be over a thousand years old as it's only than that their blood is mature enough to sire new vampires, and they and the one they're siring into a vampire must exchange blood. | |

Naïve Newcomer: Constanta is initially awestruck at Dracula and his castle and lifestyle, and upon first arriving wants nothing more than to be close to him and learn more of his habits . This is because she's at first truly blind to the darker elements that Dracula possesses, and she is later in for a rude awakening about what he really is. | |
