The Mistress	comment	Basically the next level up from adultery, but not quite equal to a concubine. She is the usually long-term girlfriend of an already married man. Sometimes the affair is public, but just as often it is not. The reasons can vary: the most common being that the husband just doesn't care enough for his wife, especially if they are in an Arranged Marriage. Sometimes it's actually expected within a culture, particularly for people of high rank (even if kept private). Sometimes the wife can even drive her husband to this, but just as often she can be a kind woman, or even a Hot Consort. Some mistresses will be happy with their position, but others will want their lover to leave his wife and marry them. Occasionally, the latter could even lead to attempts to get rid of the wife. Needless to say, if the wife wasn't aware of her existence and finds out, the mistress is very likely to die at her hands, if the man isn't the one to die. Crime Fiction stories often involve this trope, as it conveniently gives everyone involved a motive for murdering at least one of the Love Triangle. The more mistresses, the more potential red herrings/victims. There are a lot of historical examples, because European aristocratic marriages were almost always purely political. It was generally accepted that the husband and (though less tolerated, if only because accidents could wreak havoc with the succession) wife would take lovers to provide the emotional fulfillment they may not be getting from their marriage. It was usually considered bad form to be conspicuous about it, but not always. In some countries, such as France, the royal mistress was even an official position; she was designated 'maÃ®tresse-en-titre' and had her own special apartments. Formalizing and legitimizing it made things less awkward in public, and it also made it easier to keep tabs on any illegitimate children who might one day contest the throne. Compare The Unfair Sex, Oops! I Forgot I Was Married (if the mistress does not know about the other's family), Dark Mistress (who is not necessarily an evil version of this, despite the name). Many a Trophy Wife starts out this way, although it is by no means guaranteed that she'll eventually become his wife... or, for that matter, that every (usually second or third) marriage between an older (and usually rich) man and a younger woman started out this way. Mistresses in a setting with Islamic and/or Asian influence often live in a Royal Harem. When the mistress has kids, and the man helps her raise them behind his wife's back, that's Secret Other Family. See also Good Adultery, Bad Adultery. And if you can think of a perfectly equivalent, accurate term with the exact same connotations for the Spear Counterpart, please let us know — society has yet to come up with one. Not to be confused with the other type of "Mistress", nor with a feminine form of The Master.

It's a Deconstructed Character Archetype, as the narrator is obviously unhappy with having to sneak around and being kept a secret, but she loves her partner too much to really consider ending it, making her come off as quite the Love Martyr.

Not just a mistress, though, she may be his adviser, as well. A human noble Warden who marries the new monarch but is in a relationship with Zevran or a hardened Leliana can similarly keep their lover around. Further on down the series line, Inquisition companion Vivienne has a lot of political clout for a mage due to being the mistress of an Orlesian count. His wife approved of the situation; the two of them got along splendidly, and Vivienne still mourns her death.

The Mistress / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, King Desmond of Bern has a son (Zephiel) by the queen (Helenne), and a daughter (Guinevere) by his unnamed mistress. His illegitimate family lives in the palace, while his official one lives in an old out-of-the way manor. It's explained in the earlier-released Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade that said mistress was actually the King's old girlfriend, whom the King couldn't marry due to being forced in an Arranged Marriage with the Queen. Needless to say, it does not end well. In Fire Emblem Fates, King Garon of Nohr had many mistresses and some of these women gave him children. This made the Decadent Court even worse than it already was, as the concubines started in-fighting each other and using their kids as leverage; it got so bad that out of all the kids born and raised in such an entourage, only four remained (one of them being the sole legitimate child and heir). It's quite strongly implied that Mikoto, the widow of King Sumeragi and the Queen Regnant of Hoshido, was his mistress first and only married him after he was widowed. Unlike the above-mentioned Garon's case, Mikoto was Sumeragi's only known lover (especially in the localization, which takes away a line implying that Sumeragi used to sleep around before being enthroned) and that she never gave him children — the mother of the Hoshidan Royal Siblings was the late legitimate Queen, Ikona, whereas Mikoto's child (the Avatar) was already born before she arrived to Hoshido, and his/her birth father is someone else.

The Mistress / int_25f6f1a0	comment	Umineko: When They Cry: Several characters theorize early on that the basis of the legends of Beatrice, the mysterious witch that Kinzo Ushiromiya seems to be obsessed with, is that Kinzo had a secret mistress (though Natsuhi, trying to be the loyal daughter-in-law, repeatedly tries to deny it). It turns out that they're right. Kinzo did have a mistress, an Italian beauty named Beatrice Castiglioni, who he met during the second World War. They fell deeply in love, and after Kinzo bought the island of Rokkenjima he built her a secret mansion, Kuwadorian, for her to live in, and he would often visit her under the pretense that he was going on business trips. They even had a daughter, but unfortunately Beatrice died in childbirth... and this caused Kinzo to go insane with grief, and as their daughter grew older he convinced himself that she was his mistress reincarnated, eventually leading him to rape her and get her pregnant with the kid who'd grow up into Sayo "Yasu" Yasuda, one of the key characters of the game. Battler's stepmother, Kyrie, was this to his father Rudolf before the death of Battler's mother, Asumu. They even got pregnant around the same time.

However more subtly when we finally discover the full picture of the Shuzen family, we learn that not only was Issa casually polygamous, but it is implied that among his partners, Moka's mother Akasha Bloodriver is Issa Shuzen's mistress rather then his wife. This despite also being a Shinso vampire and one of the Three Dark Lords, who control/watch over Japan.

His maid had his kids and it's been noted that the children were friends with one another. The marriages were non-romantic, so neither had any issue with each other taking lovers.

Not just a mistress, though, she may be his adviser, as well. A human noble Warden who marries the new monarch but is in a relationship with Zevran or a hardened Leliana can similarly keep their lover around.

The Mistress / int_67ce5a04	comment	In Fire Emblem Fates, King Garon of Nohr had many mistresses and some of these women gave him children. This made the Decadent Court even worse than it already was, as the concubines started in-fighting each other and using their kids as leverage; it got so bad that out of all the kids born and raised in such an entourage, only four remained (one of them being the sole legitimate child and heir). It's quite strongly implied that Mikoto, the widow of King Sumeragi and the Queen Regnant of Hoshido, was his mistress first and only married him after he was widowed. Unlike the above-mentioned Garon's case, Mikoto was Sumeragi's only known lover (especially in the localization, which takes away a line implying that Sumeragi used to sleep around before being enthroned) and that she never gave him children — the mother of the Hoshidan Royal Siblings was the late legitimate Queen, Ikona, whereas Mikoto's child (the Avatar) was already born before she arrived to Hoshido, and his/her birth father is someone else.

The Mistress / int_6c39a620	comment	Ascendance of a Bookworm: Taking mistresses is apparently a common practice among high-ranking men, to the point that young girls are sometimes promised as future mistresses as some sort of loose equivalent to an engagement. Noblemen, even the most low-ranking ones, are absolutely not supposed to properly marry outside of nobility, so the only Nobility Marries Money arrangement that is mentioned in the story has the "money" side slated to become a mistress. The male head of the temple doesn't have a wife, but plenty of mistresses. The children of mistresses are considered illegitimate children despite this, though having a noble father can let them get a few perks of nobility such as going to the setting's Wizarding School.

Deconstructed in Dune Messiah: Emperor Paul Atreides considers Chani, the woman who is technically his mistress, to be his true wife, and never consummates his official (and political) marriage with Irulan Corrino, the daughter of the emperor he overthrew in the first book. This leads to court power games to everyone's detriment, eventually resulting in Chani's Death by Childbirth from complications of Irulan secretly dosing her with contraceptives, and Paul abandoning his crown to wander the desert until the next book.

The Mistress / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire plays with this trope constantly. As part of the series' Backstory, King Aegon IV ("The Unworthy") had several semi-official mistresses, and thus several illegitimate children. As bastards, they weren't entitled to inherit, until the king legitimized them on his deathbed. Civil war resulted. Some high lords keep mistresses, but they have no official standing, and the relationship is considered adulterous and immoral. Such mistresses are kept behind closed doors, and the relationship is kept officially secret, even if it's common knowledge. (Tyrion Lannister's whore/mistress is treated in this way, lest she be used against him by Cersei, or killed by Tywin.) In Dorne, where looser standards of sexual morality are in play, mistresses can be given official status as paramours. The relationships are public and have no implication of shame. Even a Dornish member of the supposedly celibate Kingsguard kept one. In some cases, a man and wife will even share a paramour. Daenerys Targaryen marries twice, but aside from that, has plenty of men and women to serve in her bed. The only one who has a regular position, however, is a mercenary named Daario Naharis who she retains even after she remarries. Melisandre is implied to be this to Stannis Baratheon.

The Mistress / int_b1796a38	comment	Patlabor 2: The Movie: Back when Shinobu was a cadet at the Tsuge Institute, she had an affair with the instructor, himself, despite knowing he was married. It was both a breach of police protocol and ethics. Word of the affair soon got out, reaching as far as he top brass, which created a scandal (though it isn't said whether Tsuge's wife ever found out he was cheating on her with one of his students). The stigma barred Shinobu from ever attaining a seat among the higher-ups, which forced her to settle for a position at the SVU.note Shinobu would have likely gained a position on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Management Bureau, had it not been for the affair.

The Mistress / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: In a gender-inverted example, Loras Tyrell fulfills this role when his lover Renly Baratheon marries Loras' sister Margaery. Verges on an Open Secret, if the amount of sarcastic references to the relationship is any indication. At one point, the exclusively homosexual Renly is trying to make excuses for not consummating the marriage, to which Margaery suggests in all seriousness that they bring Loras in to "get him started." Renly thinks this is an insult, but she actually fully accepts that the marriage is a political sham while Loras is his real lover; she just thinks they need to have an heir to cement the alliance. Shae after Tyrion marries Sansa. Melisandre for Stannis, though they only have sex once to spawn the Living Shadow that kills his brother Renly.

The Mistress / int_b54d12c1	comment	The idea is discussed in Lost in Camelot, after Bo forms a triad relationship with Merlin and Morgana. Even after all three accept that they genuinely love each other (Morgana in particular took time to accept the idea that she could have such feelings for another woman), it has been observed that it's unlikely the rest of Camelot will accept the dynamic. Morgana observes at one point that the best they can probably hope for is that Arthur will promote Merlin after he becomes king to a level where it would be publicly acceptable for Merlin to marry Bo or Morgana while the other is his official mistress, and even then, such a dynamic wouldn't acknowledge how Bo and Morgana feel about each other.

Protagonist Leon is the son of his baron father and his mistress, and is mutually despised by his father's legal wife, the powerful Lady Zola. In book three, Zola and her children are stripped of their titles for Draft Dodging during the war with the Principality of Fanoss, and Leon's father promptly divorces her and marries Leon's mother. Leon in turn gets engaged to Angie, the daughter of his ally Duke Redgrave, with his other girlfriend Livia becoming his official mistress since she's a commoner. This doesn't cause much problem since Angie and Livia have also fallen in love with each other.

The Mistress / int_c02ce5b4	comment	House of the Dragon: Daemon Targaryen is legally married to Rhea Royce, but they are estranged (he once calls her the "bronze bitch"). Instead, he has an affair with a foreign dancer named Mysaria, who provides genuine emotional support to him. By the fourth episode, however, Mysaria seems to have fallen out of favor with Daemon following the latter's years-long campaign in the Stepstones, and is building a spy network in King's Landing. Laenor Velaryon is betrothed to Rhaenyra Targaryen, but he is not interested in her or indeed any other woman, and instead keeps a male paramour named Joffrey Lonmouth, who seems to be happy with the arrangement. However, when Rhaenyra offers the same status to Ser Criston Cole (whom she had impulsively banged after her rejection by Daemon), the latter does not take this well, knowing that he will be gelded if his sworn brothers learn that he has broken his oath to the Kingsguard. Things go worse when Joffrey attempts to befriend Criston as "fellow paramours" during Rhaenyra's and Laenor's wedding, as Criston, angry and fearful of his fate, ends up beating Joffrey to death.

The Mistress / int_ccf0819f	comment	Vince McMahon Jr. has had several, the most famous of them being Trish Stratus. Stratus did very little to hide her status, thinking herself hot stuff, and part of what made her role famous was a rare feud that had Jr.'s daughter Stephanie McMahon as a baby face of sorts against Trish. The other famous part was when Vince Jr. made it publicly known that Trish was just a toy he was getting bored of, and had her on all fours barking like a dog to keep her job. This had the side effect of turning Stratus face against the entire McMahon family, Stephanie included, except Vince Jr.'s wife Linda, who was oddly sympathetic towards Trish in spite of her displeasure with her husband's infidelity. Torrie Wilson, Victoria and Candice Michelle, the Girl Posse known as Vince's Devils, had the distinction of serving as Vince Jr.'s mistresses all at once while feuding with a former mistress of Jr.'s, Trish Stratus. Granted, the feud was over Ashley Massaro asking Stratus for help after weeks being bullied by the three, as well as Stratus having the women's title belt that said Devils ended up turning on each other over. Still, there was a moment when Michelle had the gall to call Stratus a slut. Ultimately, turning company employees into his mistresses in exchange for benefits proved to be Truth in Television for McMahon and the reason for his downfall.

Mellie, the President's wife, knew about it and was generally fine with it since the marriage was purely a political one at this point. The people who knew assumed that when the President's term in office was over, he would divorce Mellie and marry Olivia. However, Olivia threw a wrench into the arrangement by breaking off the relationship and quitting her job. Throughout the series the President tries to rekindle the relationship, but Olivia is tired of the lies and betrayals. In season 2 the relationship between them turns outright toxic. One of Olivia's clients turns out to be a male example of this. He is in love with his brother's wife, and they have been having a clandestine relationship for more than a decade. Olivia gives him a "The Reason You Suck" Speech explaining why such an arrangement is not a real relationship and he needs to end it if he wants to be ever truly happy. Of course, she is partly talking about herself as well.
