Manipulative Bastard | |
| The Jasmine Throne / int_40c57041 | comment |
Manipulative Bastard: Malini is skilled at convincing people to do what she wants, whether through appealing to what she knows they desire or deceiving people by acting significantly more demure and weak than she is. This is one of the reasons Priya finds it hard to trust her once she realizes Malini was manipulating her, as well, and Pramila, Malini's appointed guardian/prison warden, accuses her of being manipulative and dangerous, warning Priya to take caution. | |

You Can't Fight Fate | |
| The Jasmine Throne / int_7241785e | comment |
You Can't Fight Fate: The Aloran attitude towards their true names. If your name says it, it is going to happen, and there's no way around it. Like Malini's lady in waiting Alori dying by burning alive, or Rao choosing Malini to be empress. | |

Politically Incorrect Villain | |
| The Jasmine Throne / int_729c69f3 | comment |
Politically Incorrect Villain: Chandra is a religious fundamentalist who thinks his ethnic group is naturally superior, wasting no time in having his non-Parijani advisors fired or executed. He also has a distaste for the "impurity of women", having several "promiscuous" women burned to death upon his ascension. His treatment of "pure" women is not much better, as he orders his sister and her companions ritually sacrificed, and exiles and imprisons her when she refuses. | |

The Chooser of the One | |
| The Jasmine Throne / int_80ed013b | comment |
The Chooser of the One: The royal family of the client kingdom Alor all have prophetic true names that they are only to reveal when the time is right. These range from Mundane Utility (a princess several generations back had a name that was three pages of advice on how to handle a drought), to predicting the person in question's death, to this. A certain character's name prophesies that Malini, the imperial princess, is fated to rule. All the lords she recruited to fight for her compassionate-but-useless brother Aditya against their sadistic, fanatical emperor Chandra already know Malini is the real brains of the operation, but the prophecy helps her overcome the ingrained prejudice against a woman ruling in her own right. | |

Take a Third Option | |
| The Jasmine Throne / int_950bbfa7 | comment |
Take a Third Option: The options for emperor seem to be either a power-hungry racist who gets off on burning women alive, or a kind but spineless ditherer. Even Malini thinks she has no choice but to back Aditya and hope she can push him around enough that he does a good job. But she has exactly the same imperial blood in her veins as Aditya and Chandra, and since they're in the business of violent revolution anyway, why not pick an empress? | |

| The Jasmine Throne / int_a7850fbf | comment |
Only Known by Their Nickname: Aloran royals never use their real names in daily life, because those are intensely personal prophecies. Rao is a nickname, whereas Malini's longtime friend and lady-in-waiting was just called Alori (the equivalent of calling a British girl "English"). | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain | |
| The Jasmine Throne / int_acf33d00 | comment |
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Chandra is in a precarious position and badly needs allies to keep his throne, but he's so tone-deaf, bigoted, and sadistic that he's merrily alienating basically everybody left and right—if pushing important and well-connected ministers out to build a "pure" government wasn't enough to make everyone hate him, burning beloved noblewomen alive sure did the trick. If he was a smidge more careful, building the rebellion against him would be more difficult, but basically all the provinces are just looking for an excuse by the time the book starts. | |

Temple of Doom | |
| The Jasmine Throne / int_ce1b6f32 | comment |
Temple of Doom: The book centers around a temple that's known to be cursed by the populace, and in which many people were massacred. It's left abandoned till the beginning of the first book, when Malini is imprisoned there. It's very difficult to climb and still retains its mysterious power. However, once Priya regains her connection to the temple, it becomes a lot more friendly (to her, that is). | |
