Relationship Upgrade
 Deceived / int_161f1ebf
comment
On top of that, she is also made into something of a sex slave, made to "please" her master whenever he wishes. Although their relationship eventually evolves into one similar to that of a husband and wife, Malgus' occupation prevents them from aiming for any Relationship Upgrade. And despite their love being genuine, Eleena is frequently subjected to emotional and psychological abuse by Malgus.

 Deceived / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: Shae Vizla's name isn't mentioned in the novel because Malgus, from whose POV the story is being told, doesn't know her name. Here he merely refers to her as "the Mandalorian". Likewise, Eleena's last name, Daru, isn't mentioned at all in the book. We only know because of her character profile from Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Even Evil Has Standards: Even when Vrath does discover that Zeerid had a young daughter, Arra, he makes it a point to not use her as leverage, because he sees the idea of threatening children as unprofessional. Despite Malgus being a Sith Lord, even he thought Eleena's first master too cruel towards her, and ended up killing him to save her.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: Upon Aryn's return to the Jedi Temple on Alderaan, she is stripped of her rank of Jedi Knight as punishment for striking out on her own, and violating the Jedi code on revenge. However, she is at peace with herself for resisting the wants of the dark side, namely for not killing an innocent girl (not that it helped her.) After several months of having time to herself, she travels to Dantooine to settle down and start a new life with Zeerid, Arra and Nat.

comment
Informed Attractiveness: Malgus is constantly taken back by Eleena's beauty. Justified in that she's a Twi'lek, who are considered to be one of the most physically attractive species (which sadly makes Twi'lek females easy targets for sex slavery). Her beauty is further emphasized by her lavender skin, a rare colour hue for her species.

Downer Ending
 Deceived / int_4e3d253b
comment
Downer Ending: The Sith have succeeded in forcing the Republic into an inconvenient "peace" treaty by leaving Coruscant in ruins, resulting in several civilian deaths. They have also succeeded in destroying the Jedi temple, killing every Jedi Knight and Padawan inside. Aryn is physically unable to defeat Malgus, who is strengthened through the dark side, leaving her unable to avenge Jedi Master Ven Zallow's death. She's only spared by him as a gesture of gratitude for sparing Eleena's life, which in itself became meaningless when just hours after her departure, Malgus kills Eleena anyway.

Fantastic Racism
 Deceived / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: The Sith Empire, as usual, show active contempt for all non-human species, as shown by how they make derogatory remarks about the Twi'lek Eleena, and even transfer her to a lower-class medical centre for treatment after she has been incapacited by Zallow just because they wanted to save the higher-quality care for the humans. Though, all of these were done mostly to unhinge Malgus.

Trauma Conga Line
 Deceived / int_71e8a5c5
comment
Trauma Conga Line: Eleena's life in a nutshell. Let's take a look: She was born and made into a slave on Geonosis where she was repeatedly beaten by her master She was later rescued in her teens, but her new master happens to be an Ax-Crazy Sith lord, who has bred her to be a skilled killer for the Empire against her will On top of that, she is also made into something of a sex slave, made to "please" her master whenever he wishes. Although their relationship eventually evolves into one similar to that of a husband and wife, Malgus' occupation prevents them from aiming for any Relationship Upgrade. And despite their love being genuine, Eleena is frequently subjected to emotional and psychological abuse by Malgus. Being an alien, she is a frequent target of xenophobic remarks by the other Sith lords. And because she is a Twi'lek, a species well-known for their great physical beauty, the other Sith Lords will occasionally make borderline sexual remarks about her, especially where Malgus is concerned. She is Force pushed into a pillar and shot with her own blaster shots by Master Ven Zallow. Upon being carried to an Imperial hospital to have her flesh wounds treated, she is ejected and sent to a civilian hospital on orders of the other Sith Lords as a non-priority, simply because she is an alien. She is used as leverage and nearly killed by Aryn, just to get back at Malgus. And finally, as if to add insult to injury, she is murdered at the hands of her lover. when she was beginning to be seen as a fatal weakness.

 Deceived / int_72cdfc33
comment
Big Bad Ensemble: The two primary antagonists are Darth Malgus, who led the attack on the Jedi Temple and killed Master Zallow, making him Aryn's target, and Vrath Xizor, a former Imperial sniper working for the Hutt Cartel, which puts him at odds with Zeerid. Although they briefly work together, their goals and agendas make them separate threats to the heroes. Malgus is the more powerful and dangerous of the two, however.

Deliberate Values Dissonance
 Deceived / int_aabe2fb
comment
Deliberate Values Dissonance: It's a romantic relationship between an innocent girl and a Sith lord, something that never ends well. The book likes to continuously remind readers just how destructive Malgus and Eleena's relationship is. Eleena, for her part, doesn't seem to mind. Eleena shows the typical behaviours of an abuse victim, namely, she is very apologetic, she backs away in fear when Malgus raises his voice at her, as if she were expecting a beating, she repeatedly tries to defend Malgus's occasional mistreatment of her, and on top of that, she willingly participates in mass-murder and destruction just to please her lover.

Berserk Button: Malgus has three: Referring to him by his birth name, Veradun. Only Eleena is allowed to call him as such, but only in private. The other Sith making speciest or sexually objectifying remarks towards Elena. Of course, the Sith do this with the purpose of triggering Malgus. Harming Eleena in any shape or form. Part of the reason Malgus wants to kill Ven Zallow, aside from the fact that he's a Jedi, is because he throws Eleena's blaster shots back at her before Force-pushing her into a wall. Aryn's button is pushed when she senses her former master, Ven Zallow's death.
