Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables | |
| The Narts (Webcomic) / int_22ed5d74 | comment |
Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables: The apple tree of the Narts had many fantastic properties, which clever Setenaya figured out. And in "Alimbeg's Daughter", the god Washtirji presents the title character and her bride with a magical apple, saying that if Adil's Daughter eats it their marriage will be happy, and if Alimbeg's Daughter then eats the core, seeds and all, she will be transformed into a man. | |

The Smart Guy: Setenaya's most remarkable trait is her intelligence. She always has advice for a hero setting out on a quest (and it's always exactly what he needs to hear); she invented agriculture, beer, and smith's tools so that Tlepsh could work without hurting himself. | |

Secret Test of Character | |
| The Narts (Webcomic) / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: Qaydukh to Sozruquo. She's already impressed by his courage and modesty (especially compared to her previous husband Psadiba, who bragged constantly about victories he only won with her assistance behind the scenes), but decides to test him by creating a terrible storm, raising the river between them. Knowing she's on the other side with no apparent shelter, he crosses the river to check on her... and refuses her praise for his bravery, saying his horse did all the work. Qaydukh is satisfied, and the two wind up married. | |

Downer Ending: "The Apple of the Narts" ends with the magic apple tree cut down by the malicious spirit of cholera. And "Batraz and Qaydukh" ends with the two splitting up because Batraz realizes they'll never be able to trust one another after he kept his slaying of her brother secret and she broke her word and attacked him in vengeance for it. | |

Tattoo as Character Type | |
| The Narts (Webcomic) / int_53b22e1f | comment |
Tattoo as Character Type: Almost all adult Narts have extensive blue tattoos on their upper chests, backs, upper arms, and legs. (Sozruquo is one of the few exceptions, probably because no needle could penetrate his skin.) All of these tattoos are completely covered by their clothing, and therefore appear mainly in sex scenes; most are animal designs, outlined and fairly simple, though some also have strings of dots or lines going around their limbs. Setenaya has a bird on her chest above her breasts, two deer on one upper arm, a different animal on the other upper arm, a horse on her back, and a fish and some abstract lines on her legs. Urizhmag has what looks like two stylized birds on his chest and a rabbit on one shoulder, as well as some more animals on the other arm. Khmish has a swan on his chest and two animal heads on his back. Batraz has a fish on his leg and a sheep on one arm. Qaydukh, who is not a Nart, has black animal tattoos wrapping around her torso, as well as abstract dots on her upper leg and a ram on the back of her thigh. Uon has typical, but rather faded, Nart tattoos on his upper arms and chest; his lady friend has similar ones done in brown. Akola, another non-Nart woman, has gray or brown tattoos on her upper arms and back. | |

Identical Twin ID Tag | |

Identical Twin ID Tag: Akhshar and Akhshartag look and dress identically—except that Akhshar always wears his hat on his head, and Akhshartag always ties his around his neck like a scarf. A generation later, Akhshartag's twin sons Urizhmag and Khmish look different enough as adults... but as children, the main way to tell them apart was by Khmish's cape and fancy belt. | |

Outdoor Bath Peeping | |
| The Narts (Webcomic) / int_615cad18 | comment |
Outdoor Bath Peeping: The first story opens with a shepherd seeing Setenaya and her servant as they bathe in the river, and declaring that since she Really Gets Around it's his turn now. Being a powerful sorceress, Setenaya has little trouble dealing with him; being a powerful sorceress, she also decides to take home the rock he ejaculates on and adopts the baby born from it as her son. | |

My Girl Is a Slut | |
| The Narts (Webcomic) / int_6afefa62 | comment |
My Girl Is a Slut: Batraz's acceptance of his wife Akola's affairs (to the point that, on coming home to find her in bed with a lover, he snuck out to let them sleep and greeted Akola's lover the next day as an honored guest) is held up as proof of what an upstanding Nart man he is. Likewise, Setenaya may sleep around (and the one time she tells herself she'll do without sex until her husband comes home, she fails miserably) but no one questions her devotion to Urizhmag. (Batraz's take on it, at least, is that since Nart men spend so much time away from their wives on adventures, it would be cruel to expect the women to be celibate while they're away.) | |

You Can't Fight Fate: Setenaya knows that her baby son is doomed to be slain by his own father, her husband Urizhmag. So she sends him away to be raised by her relatives and never tells Urizhmag that the child existed. Nonetheless, a couple years later Urizhmag is picked up by an eagle, deposited by her relatives, and at the meal they invite him to manages to kill his son by accident. | |

Serial Spouse | |
| The Narts (Webcomic) / int_810c980e | comment |
Serial Spouse: Qaydukh is married four times that the reader knows of. Her first marriage to Batraz was a whirlwind romance based entirely on his ability to defeat her in battle; they broke up after he confessed that he had killed her brother Qayda before they met, and she was unable to keep her own promise not to try to kill him for it. Her second known marriage, to Psadiba, ends with her allowing Psadiba to die because he took her for granted one time too many. Her third... there are no details about why she and her wife split up, but they did so fairly quickly. Her fourth marriage, to Sozruquo, seems to be happy. | |

Like Father, Unlike Son | |
| The Narts (Webcomic) / int_8841192a | comment |
Like Father, Unlike Son: The upstanding hero Batraz couldn't be more different from his womanizer father Khmish. This is repeatedly lampshaded in "The Three Bolts of Cloth," in which Khmish repeatedly claims the prize for embodying the three virtues of Nart manhood, and—when the other Nart men angrily say how different he is from that ideal—explains that he's doing on behalf of his son. Batraz is restrained with food and drink while Khmish gorges himself at every meal, has defeated a hundred warriors singlehandedly while Khmish is scared of his own shadow, and is a paragon of respect towards women while Khmish is an inveterate seducer who used to carry his wife around in his pocket. | |

Trickster Archetype: Shirdon, "plague of the Narts." He's a poor man getting by on his wits, but also a troublemaker for his entire extended family. Among other things, he's responsible for his nephew Sozruquo's Achilles' Heel. | |

| The Narts (Webcomic) / int_98d3f973 | comment |
Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe: Played with. Like many of the original stories (the ones that didn't state it outright), the comic implies that many if not all of Setenaya's children are conceived with other men. But in cultural terms, that doesn't matter: Urizhmag is the father of all of Setenaya's children simply because he is her husband, including the one born from a pregnant rock. | |

Ladykiller in Love | |
| The Narts (Webcomic) / int_99404851 | comment |
Ladykiller in Love: Playboy Khmish genuinely falls in love with Isp, and the story makes a point of him not using his magically sexy tooth to get her to like him back. Their relationship ends, not because he cheated on her, but because he couldn't bear to be parted from her and she was offended when his habit of carrying her (in frog form) in his pocket opened her up to ridicule from the Narts. | |

Cool Horse | |
| The Narts (Webcomic) / int_a588c1cf | comment |
Cool Horse: Several appear in "Sozruquo and the Sons of Tar:" Zhaqa ("grave-mound"), Bibyts's steed that no horse in the world can outrun; Zhaqa's mother, a peerless mare who holds Bibyts's soul (and incidentally can fly); that mare's second foal, a colt even faster than his elder brother. There are also a couple in "Qaydukh's Elbow": Psadiba's horse that he relies on to pick the lucky fork in each road, and Sozruquo's Little Gray, who he credits for his dangerous river crossings. And in "The Nameless Son", the title character's horse Gee-Gee is a supernatural creature from the land of the dead, with breath hot enough to melt snow, able to face down (with a thick protective coat of gravel, at least) the fearsome iron stallion that guards the herds of the Terk-Turks. | |

Due to the Dead | |
| The Narts (Webcomic) / int_a679184b | comment |
Due to the Dead: The Narts honor their dead with feasts. Shirdon's poverty means that his ancestors are neglected out of necessity (something that reflects poorly on him). And Urizhmag and Setenaya don't honor their Nameless Son because they've essentially made themselves forget about him out of grief. In the latter case, the dead child persuades the god of the dead to let him return to the living world for one day, so he can set things right. | |

Rule of Three: The fertility spirit seeks refuge with three gods. The first two aren't brave enough to protect him from Batraz's wrath; it is the third—Tutyr, protector of wolves—who begs forgiveness on behalf of his guest, and finally gets the hero to relent. | |

And Qaydukh goes adventuring in male garb for a while and even weds a woman for three years. (The text says that her wife never knew, or so it's said; the image makes it clear that said wife knew and was happy about the situation.) | |

Foot-Dragging Divorcee | |
| The Narts (Webcomic) / int_ab9d55f1 | comment |
Foot-Dragging Divorcee: Played with in "Setenaya's Breakup." Urizhmag announces that he's done with Setenaya and tells her to return to her mother's familynote While this is an odd way to break up with one's maternal half-sister, it's either a stock phrase or he meant the Donbettirs, taking any of their treasures with her if she pleases. Setenaya wants to remain married to him, but rather than arguing or delaying she has a cunning plan: she holds a farewell party, encourages the guests to get him very drunk, and takes only him with her on her cart when she leaves, because he is her greatest treasure. They return home together and remain Happily Married thereafter. | |

The Pornomancer: Khmish's aunt gave him a magic tooth that makes his smile irresistibly sexy. This is a bit of an Informed Attribute in the comic, though—we're told that he's seduced so many women that the Narts are sick of it, but the only girl who falls for him on-page is the one we're told he didn't use the tooth magic on, and who he also genuinely loved. | |

Tangled Family Tree | |
| The Narts (Webcomic) / int_de15a322 | comment |
Tangled Family Tree: Dzerashsha, one of the many children of the sea god Donbettir and the Lady of the Flowing Waters, had four children with three different fathers: the twins Urizhmag and Khmish by her husband, the Nart hero Akhshartag; Shirdon by the river god Gatag; and (posthumously and supernaturally) Setenaya by the traveler god Washtirji. Shirdon's relationship to the rest of them seems to be a secret, but the family only gets more complex from there: Urizhmag and Setenaya marry and have many children, though it's implied that those that aren't magically conceived may technically be the product of affairs; and there are many divorces and remarriages. For example, Khmish's son Batraz marries the sorceress Qaydukh; after they divorce, she marries Setenaya's youngest son, Sozruquo. And no one bothers explaining how exactly Batraz's "forebear" Uon is related to the rest of the family... | |
