Supernatural Gold Eyes: Sydney's eyes aren't literally gold, but Adrian describes them as looking like "molten gold" and she's the most supernaturally-inclined human in the cast as a witch and an Alchemist. | |

| Bloodlines / int_1495d0e6 | comment |
Non Sequitur: One is used intentionally by Duncan Mortimer. One minute, Duncan and Sydney are discussing about where the gas used on prisoners on the Re-education facility comes from. Then Duncan abruptly changes the subject to one of botany: "Come on, just because a fern's a vascular plant doesn't mean it's producing carbon dioxide any differently. All the chemical reactions in basic photosynthesis are still there. It's just a question of using spores instead of seeds." Duncan had realized that Emma was overhearing their conversation and abruptly changed the subject to something else. | |

| Bloodlines / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Brent Badica, Wesley Drozdov, and Lars Zeklos lay in ambush of Sydney and try to drag her away to have their way with her. They want to drink her blood but the situation is played as an Attempted Rape. Similar to how Lissa's spirit use was an expy for depression and self-harm in Vampire Academy, Adrian's spirit use is compared to bipolar disorder. Re-education can be seen as similar to gay treatment centers complete with the attempt to 'cure' people. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy: Trey Juarez tries to excel in sports, joins the Warriors of Light vampire hunters, and fights in gladiator-like games. All to win the approval of his dad. To a lesser extent, Adrian tries to win the approval of his verbally abusive father. A recommendation by Lissa Dragomir to his dad earns him an increase in allowance and enough money to buy a 1967 Ford Mustang. He receives a genuine compliment later: "You did well, Adrian...: Sydney Sage has given up on ever winning the approval of her father. Her younger sister Zoe is still trying. | |

With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: The more powerful a Moroi becomes in Spirit magic, the more prone they are to mental and emotional disturbances. It works in reverse, too: If the Moroi effectively treats the condition, their magic starts to fade. Adrian has to choose between his power and his sanity. When he falls in love with Sydney, he chooses sanity. But when she goes missing, he pushes his power and his sanity to the edge trying to find her. | |

Birds of a Feather | |
| Bloodlines / int_275d19ee | comment |
Birds of a Feather: Sydney and Adrian initially appear to be a case of Opposites Attract, but they have a lot in common: they're both extremely passionate about their interests (history and art) and would like to pursue them further, they're both searching for a higher cause, they're both fiercely protective of the people they care about and they both are hemmed in by other people's expectations of them, with people expecting the world of Sydney but nothing from Adrian. Similarly, Eddie and Jill are both committed to protecting others and defending themselves, were both seriously impacted by a key moment of trauma (Jill's death and resurrection and Eddie losing Mason back in Vampire Academy). Despite this, they're both good-natured, good-humoured people and both serve as surrogate siblings for Sydney. | |

Scholarship Student: Toyed with. Brayden gained a college scholarship for an essay "on the psychosocial implications of Pavlov's associative experiments". We do not get to see him actually graduate. Trey Juarez receives college scholarship offers as both an athlete and a scholar. Good thing, because his father has disowned him and Trey would not be able to attend college otherwise. | |

Antimagical Faction: The Alchemists hate vampire and human magic as having no place in nature. Though their Power Tattoos rely on magical Moroi blood and their brainwashing techniques depend on vampire compulsion techniques. | |

Pretty Freeloaders: Nathan Ivashkov is wealthy and seems perfectly willing to finance the fashionable lifestyle of his gorgeous wife Daniella Ivashkov. She is also royal (a member of the Tarus clan) but has no personal fortune, does not work for a living, and does not even sleep with him. The only thing Nathan asks in return is her playing the happy wife in social gatherings. The situation comes to an end in Silver Shadows when she makes a stand in support of Adrian and moves out of their house. Though they do not share a house, Nathan is perfectly willing to financially support Adrian, who is a full adult, as long as he stays out of Nathan's way and does not do anything to embarrass the family name. Adrian's taboo marriage to a human seems to be a dealbreaker. | |

Beautiful All Along: As a Moroi, Jill is naturally tall, slender and attractive; basically supermodel material. However, because this is the norm for Moroi, they consider curves and a substantial physique to be ideal. Thus, as the lone Moroi in a school full of humans, Jill considers herself to be one of the least attractive girls in school. It's only once she starts modelling that she gains confidence in her own appearance. | |

Properly Paranoid: The prisoners at the Re-education facility are constantly paranoid about their words and actions leading them to a new torture session or another attempt at brainwashing. This is reasonable as they are constantly monitored for the slightest act of insubordination, and their fellow prisoners are encouraged by the authorities to tell on them. Their plans towards resistance or escape only work when they co-operate. Which is why the authorities like to see them turn on each other. Eventually Sydney manages to make some tentative allies. | |

Power Tattoo | |
| Bloodlines / int_3fbbe6ad | comment |
Power Tattoo: The Alchemists have tattoos that stop them from talking about vampires and their own organisation to anyone who does not already know of their existence. The tattoos also give them a better immunity system than normal humans. Many students at Amberwood Prep also get these tattoos without the knowledge of the Alchemists. The tattoos either give them an athletic boost or work to make them feel high. | |

Never Going Back to Prison: Toyed with. Keith Darnell, once released from the Re-education facility, lives with the fear of being returned there. He contacts Carly Sage and tries to convince her to turn him in to the human police. He is fully prepared to serve a prison term for rape, rather than go back to a Re-education facility. | |

Flower Motifs: The golden lily represents the Alchemists, and by extension, everything wrong with the organisation - when Sydney officially leaves the Alchemists good, the gold in her lily tattoo starts vanishing. Blue flowers, such as Marcus' tattoo and the morning glories Adrian painted on Sydney's cross necklace, represent freedom. | |

Cold-Blooded Torture: Used on prisoners in the Re-education facility. The most common form is a "purging", a chemical-induced vomiting session. Happens to most prisoners once or twice a week. Then there are chemical-induced pain sessions for punishment or interrogation purposes. Extremely painful, while not leaving a single scar. | |

Date Rape | |
| Bloodlines / int_46784617 | comment |
Date Rape: The situation under which Keith Darnell raped Carly Sage. The Moroi vampire equivalent is called "dabbling". As explained by Rose: "It's when Moroi go out and drug a random human so that they can drink from him or her. Usually her, since it's usually guys behind it. The human's kind of out of it from the drug and doesn't remember anything later, just that they somehow ended up with bruises on their neck. It's essentially date rape for blood drinking." Adrian once met a drunk human girl at a bar. He drank her blood and abandoned her. | |

A Friend in Need: Adrian's plans for a special birthday celebration for Sydney have fallen apart. At this point Rowena Clark and Cassie, his friends from college, respond by helping him "salvage" this day. Preparing everything for a very special date. Adrian attends Carlton College as an art student. His last weeks in college pass in a drunken blur, he writes his final exam in mixed media without having studied, and he fails to submit a final project for his other two classes before moving back to Court. In effect dropping out of college and giving in to despair. Jill and Trey choose two of his paintings, left behind in his apartment, and submit them to Carlton in his name. Adrian passes his college semester and, he is grateful when he sobers up. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Duncan Mortimer is the son of powerful Alchemist leaders Gordon and Sheila Mortimer. He broke the rules of the organization to help some Moroi. So they sent him to Re-education and made sure that they hold him there indefinitely, ensuring Duncan stays out of public sight and won't hurt their own reputations. The parents effectively sentence Duncan to a life sentence for a not uncommon rule violation. Emma's "crime" that landed her in Re-education seems minor to Sydney. According to Emma: "I sent away some guardians that had been assigned to help my Alchemist group in Kiev. There were some Moroi I knew that I thought needed the protection more than we did." | |

This is also part of the reason why he can't stand Marcus, since it would be much easier for Sydney to be with a human then with a vampire. | |

They spend a few chapters reconnecting there, until the Alchemists track them down. They then escape to Las Vegas. They find temporarily refuge in the Moroi-owned "the Witching Hour", have their wedding in the Italian-themed "The Firenze", and find a Moroi-owned helicopter waiting for them in the "Blue Lagoon. Adrian even finds some time to gamble to win some money. His Aura Vision makes him able to determine the other players' intentions, giving him an advantage. | |

What Are You in For? | |

What Are You in For?: In the Re-education facility, prisoners usually stay incarcerated for months. When Sydney learns that fellow prisoner Duncan Mortimer has spent over a year there, she asks "What did you do to get here?" Sydney also asks Emma: "You're pretty much the poster child for model Alchemist behavior. What did you do to get here?" "Here" being the Re-education facility. | |

Let's Get Dangerous!: Our trio of heroes are facing a powerful Strigoi. Neil Raymond is out of it, Sydney has frozen after a near brush with death, and Eddie is getting tired and a bit too slow to gain an advantage. At that point Angeline (who has been treated as comic relief for much of the book), Trey Juarez (who was mostly preoccupied with his own love life), and Jill (who has not been involved in a fight in quite a while), turn up as reinforcements and save the day. | |

Fantastic Racism: The Alchemists see the Moroi and dhampirs as unnatural and evil despite the fact the the Moroi and dhampirs are mortal beings like humans. If an Alchemist is seen being even remotely friendly and sympathetic to a Moroi or dhampir, their loyalties are questioned. Not to mention they might be sent to a re-education centre for it. | |

Cannot Dream: When Sydney is held in the Re-education facility, the Knockout Gas puts her in a dreamless sleep, preventing Adrian from locating her with his Dream Walker powers. This situation lasts for months, until she finds a way to disable the ventilation system which distributes the gas.

Only Friend: While in the general population of the Re-education facility, Sydney is avoided by her fellow prisoners. The first person to reach out to her is Duncan Mortimer. He remains her only true friend for the rest of her stay, though she does eventually gain other allies. Nina Sinclair serves as the only remaining friend to Adrian during his stay in Court. He spends a lot of time drinking with fellow royal Moroi, but barely remembers their names and faces. He sees her as a friend only, though, while she falls in love for him. | |

Pretend to Be Brainwashed: The Re-education facility uses both mundane and magical methods at brainwashing to ensure the prisoners' loyalty to the Alchemists. But certain prisoners, like Emma (Sydney's cellmate), act well-behaved and docile just in hopes of release. There are examples, like Emma's unnamed sister, who went rogue after their release. Marcus Finch's rebel Alchemists include people who were released from Re-education. | |

Hellhole Prison: The Re-education facility in Death Valley. Rule-breaking Alchemist prisoners are held there, forced to live in dark, cold, isolated cells for months, eating nothing but gruel. Then when they break and ask for forgiveness, they are allowed to the general population of the prison facility. Once out of solitary confinement, they are subjected to mind games and brainwashing, all aimed to further break their spirit. Prisoners are discouraged from socializing and are subtly trained to betray each other. Personal privacy is not allowed. Free thought is forbidden. Torture is used regularly, though they aim to not leave visible scars. | |

Then she was worried when her recently-turned-alive little sister stayed up late with a guy. Sydney was used to comforting her little sister Zoe when they faced a scary place. She still likes to take care of her. She projects the instinct on to Jill early on because Jill reminds her of Zoey, before she develops a genuine relationship with Jill and protects her for her own sake. Carly Sage, Sydney's older sister, offers information to Adrian and Marcus Finch in order to help Sydney who was held in a Re-education facility. She cares deeply about her younger sisters. | |

Prisoners in the Re-education facility are discouraged from socializing and befriending each other. "Friends are armor, and they don't like that here." Prisoners Duncan Mortimer and Chantal befriended each other and then were forcibly separated by the authorities. | |

Meaningful Look: After given her first taste of Pavlovian conditioning, Sydney says out loud: "Y-you need repeat sessions for this to take effect". Grace Sheridan, the warden of the Re-education facility, gives her a look that "spoke legions about what I could expect in the future." Sydney realizes that there are a lot more conditioning sessions in her future. | |

Being Personal Isn't Professional: The Alchemists, in a big way. Their jobs are their number one duty, and since they feel Moroi, Strigoi, and Dhampirs are evil creatures, it's against an alchemist's upbringing to socialize with them. In the rare cases they lighten up, they often revert back to being professional once they realize it. | |

Put on a Bus: Rowena Clark and Cassie, Adrian's college friends, are put on a bus in Silver Shadows. College ends for the summer and there is no chance for them to interact again. As Adrian says: "I'm sure we'll see each other again". In fact it is uncertain if he will see them again. Olive Sinclair, the former Strigoi, is also put on bus in the same book. She leaves Court, severing relations with her half-sister Nina Sinclair and long-distance boyfriend Neil Raymond. We only learn that she wanted some "alone time", to figure out what to do with her life. She returns in The Ruby Circle, hiding out in a dhampir commune and pregnant with Neil's child, something that should have been impossible considering dhampir biology. | |

| Bloodlines / int_8ec0abf | comment |
The Voiceless: Baxter, the cook of the Re-education facility, gets no speaking lines. He is described as either silent or responding only in grunts. A rare exclamation of disgust, when Sydney accidentally touches him, is the closest he gets to actually speaking. | |

She Will Come for Me | |
| Bloodlines / int_91f9c100 | comment |
She Will Come for Me: While in Re-education, Sydney is certain that Adrian will find her. The Knockout Gas used in the facility gives her dreamless sleep, though, which prevents his Dream Walker powers from locating her. So she finds a way to disable the ventilation systems and has her first dreams in months. She wavers a bit in her faith in Adrian, as he fails to make contact for a while. Then he does make contact. | |

Betty and Veronica: Sydney is Archie. She has two potential Bettys: Brayden, her brief human boyfriend, who shares her interests and doesn't go against her Alchemist sensabilities, and Ian Jansen, an Alchemist who is interested in her from before the series starts and whom her father explicitly approves of. Adrian is her Veronica, a vampire and someone her father wouldn't approve of even if he was human. The Bettys have no chance, with Sydney choosing Adrian definitively. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |

"Not So Different" Remark: Lissa points that she has no business telling Alchemists how to discipline their own people, pointing out that "guardians often seize dhampirs who run away from training and then punish them." Why do Adrian and Sydney fall in love? It's because as Sydney herself puts it they are both "boxed in by others' expectations of them". As their relationship progresses they help each other break out of those boxes and become their own people. | |

Chekhov's Skill: Sydney's lesson in punching came in handy later on. Sydney's magic which causes her to Take a Level in Badass. It also is the reason for her gradual transfer from Non Action Girl to Action Survivor and eventually to Action Girl. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| Bloodlines / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: Neil Raymond, Eddie Castile, and Sydney Sage have set a trap for a Strigoi who they assume to be recently awakened and inexperienced, in other words an easy target. Only for the foe in question to take out Neil easily, making Eddie realise: "He's a strong one. And old. Very old. We were wrong." Hope, a prisoner of the Re-education facility, does the mistake of expressing pride. Grace Sheridan the warden immediately arranges her punishment. As Hope realizes, she goes pale as a Stringoi from fear. | |

Knockout Gas | |
| Bloodlines / int_adf58b7a | comment |
Knockout Gas: Used extensively in the Re-education facility of Death Valley. In the initial dark cells, prisoners are knocked out by gas every time a conversation with the jailers ends. Among the general population, gas is used to put them to sleep at night, preventing them from interacting much with their cellmates. Sydney and her cellmate Emma find a way to disable the ventilation system of their cell. There is also a contingency plan to knock out the entire prisoner population in case of an emergency. Sydney manages to disable this while waiting for her allies on the outside to break her out. | |

Brayden Cartwright is Sydney's first boyfriend and appears in several chapters of The Golden Lily. He is mentioned only briefly in The Indigo Spell and gets a small appearance The Fiery Heart. Micah started off a major supporting character but becomes less and less important until finally he is written out. Angeline and Trey both lose screentime in the latter half of the series. | |

Come home at night to eat Korean food with your kooky neighboors, then make love on your shabby mattress on the floor. The next day, start all over again. Not a bad way of life. " | |

Torture Is Ineffective | |
| Bloodlines / int_bf3e372 | comment |
Torture Is Ineffective:One of the torture and brainwashing techniques used in the Re-education facility is based on Pavlovian conditioning. They show Sydney (and presumably other prisoners) images of happy Moroi while they are experiencing "extreme discomfort and suffering". The goal is that they come to associate the actual vampires with the same painful experiences. Based on Sydney's reaction to reuniting with Adrian, first in spirit dreams and then in person, this does not work. She is elated, not experiencing the intended discomfort. | |

Compliment Backfire: Brayden, on Sydney's Halloween costume. He tells her she looks very pretty, but later argues the costume isn't historically accurate, and then admits she could be dressed like a prostitute. Adrian actually tricks him into admitting it using a Bait-and-Switch, and then tries to get into an argument with Brayden over it. | |

Slut-Shaming: Sydney is exposed to this treatment while held in the Re-education facility, because of having slept with a vampire. Fellow prisoners call her "slut" and "Vamp whore". When she comments on the low number of dhampirs to her instructor, Harrison, he replies with: "Well, from what I understand you are an expert at reproduction with Moroi. Perhaps you'd be personally interested in helping increase those dhampir numbers yourself, yes?" | |

Holier Than Thou | |

Holier Than Thou: The Alchemists have religious beliefs that cast them as pure warriors of the light, facing the evil darkness represented by vampires and magic. The prisoners in the Re-education facility are Alchemists who are deemed to have sinned against humanity and must seek redemption for their sins. From what readers see, most prisoners are decent people whose "sins" were treating Moroi vampires and dhampirs as people, rather than monsters. | |

Denied Food as Punishment | |
| Bloodlines / int_d5b7a6e3 | comment |
Denied Food as Punishment: A slightly more elaborate version is used in the Re-education facility. Prisoners who have spoken out are injected with a substance that causes them nausea. They eventually vomit the contents of their stomach in a forceful "purging", which leaves them unable to consume food or beverages for a while, effectively forcing them to skip at least one meal. As further punishment, for the next meal, all prisoners are served one of the punished prisoner's favorite foods or beverages. Not only is the prisoner denied food, but is forced to see everyone else enjoy something that they crave. | |

Immortality Seeker: Lee Donahue was a Moroi who was turned into a Strigoi while a college student. After spending years as an immortal being, a mysterious spirit user turned him back into a mortal. He spend the next six years as a Serial Killer. Killing and drinking the blood of Moroi, dhampirs, and humans in hopes of being "reawakened". He then switched into seeking Alchemist blood. When that failed too, he invited female Strigoi Dawn and Jacqueline to "awaken" him. Jacqueline gave it an honest try but the process killed him instead. Turns out that people who come back from being Strigoi can nevere be "awakened" again. They are simply immune. This is why Alchemists want to keep the existence of vampires secret from humanity. They believe that many humans will willingly serve the Strigoi in order to become immortal. | |

In Indigo Spell, the helpful hotel attendent seems to a bit character, until she turns out to be the witch attacking untrained magic users throughout the LA area. Happens again in the Re-education facility. We learn early on that Addison, the art teacher, likes chewing gum. Later, the prisoners steal her gum sticks to use in their plans. Later still, we learn Addison is fighting a smoking habit and substituting one fixation for another. The prisoners use her hidden stash of cigarettes and matches to start a fire to aid in their escape. | |

Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique: Used by Grace Sheridan, the warden of the Re-education facility, on Sydney, to force her to confess how she managed to escape her cell at night and move around the facility.

Faction Motto | |
| Bloodlines / int_e1f942b6 | comment |
Faction Motto: Sydney is given one by the other Alchemists while held in a Re-education facility. "Evil and deception are not our ways. We relish in light and honesty." Which is ironic for an organization devoted to maintaining the Masquerade concerning the existence of vampires. Their entire methodology is deceiving humanity. They also deceive the Moroi concerning the extent of their disdain for them. And some of their top leaders are secretly working for the Warriors of Light. | |

Protective Charm: Used by Sydney, Alicia DeGraw and untrained witches to protect from detection by other magic users. Sydney's stops working once she encounters Alicia, but she does not find out until later. Sydney finds a way to make a tattoo charm which protects against the magical ink the Alchemists use for compulsion. She finds a way to reproduce it while held in the Re-education facility, and shares it with her fellow prisoners. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Invoked by Adrian when he and Sydney are held hostage by Lee.

She emerges docile and disoriented, unable to even eat without instructions. Guards and fellow prisoners are fully prepared to let her grow hungry. Kind-hearted Sydney takes her under her wing and makes sure Renee has a full meal. Grace Sheridan, the warden, immediately singles out Sydney for punishment for taking an initiative. | |

Romantic False Lead: Brayden who turns out to be perfect for Sydney: he's smart, good looking, works in a coffee shop, drives a nice car, and thinks windmill tours and textile museums are a good time. Too bad he's not the one. | |

Tranquillizer Dart: Used by the guardians against the Warriors of the Light. Their intent was to have a non-lethal way to take out opponents. | |

Master of the Mixed Message | |
| Bloodlines / int_fb7cc1ff | comment |
Master of the Mixed Message: Adrian proves a Master of this in his treatment of Nina Sinclair. During his stay in Court, Adrian introduces her to the social scene there, goes partying with her almost every night, and even buys her clothes. She is under the impression that they are starting a romantic relationship. He is oblivious to her feelings, and acts shocked when he realizes it. | |

Living Emotional Crutch | |
| Bloodlines / int_fbd1aeb | comment |
Living Emotional Crutch: Sydney increasingly serves as the crutch to Adrian. She is the only one able to take care of him through his spirit-induced madness and alcoholic binges. He can't function properly without her. Nina Sinclair also serves as a crutch to him when he falls Off the Wagon during his stay at Court. Though she is much less effective in that regard. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: Sydney Sage, usually friendly, has her moment when she goes after Laurel the Alpha Bitch. She uses a chemical to turn Laurel's beautiful hair into a greasy mess. Warning her to stay away from Jill. It works. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Both the Alchemists and the Warriors of the Light have the heroic goal to protect humanity against vampires, yet they are blind to their own less than honorable methods. | |

Bit Character | |
| Bloodlines / int_fd8edf01 | comment |
Bit Character: Several characters, recurring and otherwise, in Amberwood Prep play only small roles. Offering some useful information, socializing with the main characters, or causing them trouble. Only to then fade into the background. In the opening book, Adrian has a lengthy conversation with a tattoo artist in "Nevermore". The character remains unnamed and never reappears. He was only relevant as Keith Darnell's accomplice. The untrained witches Sydney is trying to help in The Indigo Spell only appear briefly. Never to be heard of again. Marcus Finch's fellow rebel Alchemists turn up in several chapters of The Indigo Spell, The Fiery Heart, and Silver Shadows. Other than resident gunslinger Sabrina, none receive much attention from the narrators. The members of the Stelle Witch Coven, other than Jaclyn Terwilliger and Sydney herself, are only seen in one scene of The Fiery Heart. They play no further part in the plot. They do return in The Ruby Circle to assist in capturing Alicia. Silver Shadows has Adrian and Sydney interacting with entire crowds of bit characters in the Re-education facility, the Moroi Court, and Las Vegas. Few appear in more than one or two scenes, receive actual names and characterizations. | |

Eating Lunch Alone | |
| Bloodlines / int_fe5c7660 | comment |
Eating Lunch Alone: In the Re-education facility of Death Valley, this is the experience of prisoners newly released into the general population. Someone has to invite them to their table before they are allowed to sit with others. Also happens to prisoners who just returned from a punishment, as their fellows don't want to appear sympathetic and attract the attention of the authorities. | |

Doting Parent | |
| Bloodlines / int_ff251a68 | comment |
Doting Parent: Daniella Ivashkov has shades of this. She really loves her son Adrian, seems proud of him, and is willing to support him even when he makes controversial decisions about his love life. But she is mostly blind to his struggles with alcoholism and bipolar disorder. | |
