2. What feature did Thayet inherit from her father?

Answer: Her nose

There is a bump in Thayet's nose that she attributes to the bad blood of her father's line.

3. What title did Thayet's father hold?

Answer: Warlord

The rulers of Sarain are known as "Warlord" and women can't inherit.

4. Who was Kalasin?

Answer: Her mother

Kalasin was the most beautiful woman in the world, and she was K'Mir- a group of people who were treated very badly by the Saren Warlords.

5. What happened to Kalasin?

Answer: She committed suicide

She died so that the people of Sarain would know the horrible way her people were being treated.

6. What did Thayet intend to do when she arrived in Tortall?

Answer: All three

She was mildly annoyed when Jon made a big show of presenting her at court.

7. Who did Thayet marry?

Answer: King Jonathan of Tortall

At first, Thayet felt guilty about their relationship, because Alanna was her friend and she had previously had a relationship with Jon.

8. How many children did Thayet eventually have? (This question cannot be answered by only reading the books)

Answer: 6

She and Jonathan had six children; Roald, Kalasin, Lianne, Liam, Jasson, and Vania. Vania did not appear in the books, but only appears in Tamora Pierce's website.

9. What story does Thayet hate to hear told?

Answer: One where she tries to shoot monkeys in the dark after they wake her up

Now, this is for those who really follow the books about Tortall. This story is mentioned by Aly (Alanna's daughter). The part that really gets to Thayet is that she sleeps naked, and men were waking the monkeys up on purpose just to see her.

10. Who is Thayet's friend who has been with her since they left Sarain?

Answer: Buri

Buri's mother and brother died with Kalasin in her mission to alert the Saren people of the mistreatment of the K'Miri people. Her family has been with Thayet and Kalasin's family for generations.
