Quiz: Which Throne of Glass Character Are You?
If you woke up tomorrow morning in a world where assassins wear beautiful gowns and faeries weave court intrigue, who would you become? A fearless killer with a sharp tongue? A silent warrior with a dark past? Or perhaps a prince who reads more books than befits an heir to the throne? The Throne of Glass series quiz will help you figure out which of Sarah J. Maas’s heroes resembles you the most.
What Is the Throne of Glass Series?
Throne of Glass is an eight-book series by Sarah J. Maas about Celaena Sardothien, an assassin girl who begins her journey in the salt mines of Endovier and ends up… well, no spoilers here. The series launched in 2012 and quickly became one of the most popular in the young adult fantasy genre.
The story starts fairly standard: a young killer is pulled from a labor camp to participate in a competition for the right to become the royal champion. Sounds like a typical plot for teen fantasy? The first book does indeed follow familiar tropes. But starting with the second installment, Maas unfolds the story in such a way that readers massively reconsider their attitude toward characters, and some heroes from the first book become completely different people by the series finale.
The world of Throne of Glass is a blend of Celtic mythology, Middle Eastern motifs, and classic epic fantasy. There are warrior fae, ancient gods, demons from other dimensions, dragons, and witches on wyverns. Yet Maas manages not to turn all this into mush, but creates a working system where every element is in its place.
Discover Your Inner Warrior – What Is This Quiz About?
The Throne of Glass quiz isn’t just entertainment for series fans. It’s built on analyzing key character traits of the main heroes and comparing them with your answers to various situations.
The quiz questions cover:
- How you make decisions in critical situations
- What’s more important to you – duty or personal feelings
- How you react to betrayal by loved ones
- What you’re willing to do to protect the people you love
- Your attitude toward power and responsibility
- How you cope with losses and trauma
This isn’t a test of plot knowledge (though fans will appreciate the references), but a way to understand whose approach to life is closer to yours. The results will show not only “your” character, but also explain why exactly this hero. Which of your qualities match their character, what decisions you would make in their place.
For those who haven’t read the series, this could be a great way to understand whether these books are worth picking up at all – if your character interests you, then the whole story will likely appeal to you too.
Main Characters You Can Get In the Quiz Results
The quiz features five key heroes from the series, each with their own unique character and development story. From the fearless assassin Celaena to the silent but incredibly strong-spirited Lysandra – each character reflects a certain personality type and approach to life’s challenges. The result will show not only similar character traits, but also what decisions you would make in a world full of magic and danger.
Celaena Sardothien – An Assassin With a Love for Books and Chocolate
Celaena is the main heroine who goes from being an arrogant eighteen-year-old killer to a ruler willing to sacrifice everything to save the world. She’s distinguished by a combination of cruelty and vulnerability. She can coldly kill an enemy, then cry over a romance novel a minute later.
If you got Celaena, you’re probably a person of extremes. Either complete dedication or complete indifference. You value beautiful things, good food, and comfort, but are ready to give up all of this for an important goal. You have a sharp tongue and don’t hesitate to voice your opinion, even if it creates problems.
Rowan Whitethorn – A Fae Warrior With Control Issues
Rowan appears in the third book as Celaena’s mentor, gradually becoming one of the central characters. This is a three-hundred-year-old fae warrior who transforms into a hawk and controls wind and ice. Behind his stern exterior hides a deeply traumatized personality who is learning to trust and love again.
Getting Rowan as a result means you’re a person of duty and honor. You put obligations above personal desires and are ready to bear responsibility for others. At the same time, it’s hard for you to open up to people, and you don’t have many close friends, but those you do have can rely on you in any situation.
Manon Blackbeak – A Witch With Iron Teeth and a Golden Heart
Manon is the heir of a witch clan that serves evil, but she gradually chooses a different path. She flies on a wyvern, has iron teeth and claws that she gladly uses in battle. Yet it’s Manon who undergoes one of the most interesting development arcs in the series.
If the quiz identified you as Manon, you’re someone who went against your nature or upbringing for a long time. You know how to be harsh when necessary, but that’s not your true essence. You value freedom and independence, don’t like being commanded, and are ready to defend those you consider yours.
Dorian Havilliard – A Prince Who Prefers the Library to the Throne Room
Dorian starts as a typical handsome prince who flirts with everyone and reads more than befits an heir. But his journey is a story about accepting his power (literally – raw magic awakens in him) and responsibility for the kingdom.
A “Dorian” result indicates that you prefer to solve problems with your mind rather than force. You’re curious, open to new things, and not afraid to change your opinion if facts suggest otherwise. At the same time, when the time comes to act, you’re capable of decisive actions that no one expects from you.
Lysandra – A Shapeshifter Who Was Silent for Eleven Years
Lysandra is one of the most underrated characters in the series. A shapeshifter girl who spent years in captivity, pretending to be mute to hide her abilities. Her strength isn’t in magic or combat skills, but in incredible endurance and the ability to wait for the right moment.
If you got Lysandra, you’re the person who’s often underestimated. You’re observant, know how to keep secrets, and act unnoticed. Your strength is in patience and the ability to see the big picture when others are fixated on details.
Why Are Throne of Glass Characters So Memorable?
Maas’s heroes are captivating not for their perfection, but for their flaws and mistakes. Celaena in the early books can be unbearably self-absorbed. Rowan can be a cruel bore. Manon commits acts that are hard to justify. But this is exactly what makes them alive.
Each character changes throughout the series. Maas isn’t afraid to break her heroes, take everything away from them, and force them to rebuild themselves. Readers go through this journey with them, so by the series finale, the heroes feel like old acquaintances you genuinely worry about.
Reasons why the characters remain memorable:
- Character diversity – the series has a hero for every taste, from strong independent warriors to thoughtful intellectuals
- Realistic development – characters change gradually, through mistakes and losses, not with a snap of fingers
- Gray moral shades – even positive heroes make questionable choices, and antagonists have understandable motives
- Depth of development – each character has their own story, traumas, dreams, and fears
- Relationships between heroes – friendship, love, and enmity develop organically, without forcing
Despite all the fantasy elements of the world with its magic, dragons, and ancient gods, it’s precisely the humanity of the characters that makes the series so popular. The quiz gives you the opportunity to find “your” hero – the one whose decisions and approach to life resonate specifically with you. And who knows, maybe by learning the result, you’ll discover something new not only about the character, but about yourself as well.
