→Personality: The personality section, while very accurate and well written, is lacking in any kind of references to the book or annotations. I'm adding a reference to one major attitude change in Vivenna to slowly patch this up.

She began as a statuesque, uptight, judgmental, and devout adherent to Idrian dogma. After her experiences in T'Telir, however, Vivenna's worldview and personality are fundamentally changed, as exemplified in her choice to become an Awakener and travel with Vasher. She used to look down on the Hallandrens; however, later she notes that she does not really care about them anymore, and that her hatred was caused by their inherent indifference towards the Idrians.
Due to getting captured by Denth, whom she viewed as a friend and spent weeks with, Vivenna gradually loses her haughtiness and starts to realize that she was being unfair. In two short months, she quickly finds that her new life in T'Telir feels natural, including blending in with crowds, raiding supplies, and other underground activities. In a moment of introspection, she is confused by her views of the "wonderful, terrible city."{{book ref|wb|28}} She begins to want to learn so that she will no longer be helpless and confused. She does not wish to be powerless any longer and learns Awakening after realizing that it had nothing to do with her Idrian beliefs. After realizing that Vasher is an exceptional Awakener with highly technical knowledge, she realizes that judging people by their appearances does not make any sense.
Gradually, Vivenna becomes a capable young woman who even realizes that rulership is not for her. She gives up her throne to her siblings and travels with Vasher.
