 * Angst? What Angst?: Finny's backstory includes him being . The amount of times he complains about this? ZERO.
 * Damsel Scrappy: Elizabeth, to most fans.

 * Foe Yay: Grell attempts to have this with Sebastian.
 * Also between Sebastian and.
 * Harsher in Hindsight: In episode 9, Finny mentions the fact he accidentally killed his pet bird when he was younger. It becomes even harsher when we realise.

 * Memetic Mutation: Deer-head Sebastian.

 * Even Lizzie to some.
