 * Bishounen: Heathcliffe. Kazuma also counts to some extent.
 * Charity Ball: Crocodile throws a dinner party with a charity auction for orphans in chapter three.
 * Dances and Balls: It appears that this fanfic will have several, as a garden party is mentioned in passing in chapter one and chapter three's action takes place at a dinner party.
 * Dreadlock Rasta: Kazuma. Subverted when Word of God states that he is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, Bishounen caucasian and he's not Rastafarian.
 * Fancy Dinner: As stated above, there is a dinner party that happens.
 * Hime Cut: Aki and Hana have these.
 * Long Hair Is Feminine: Aki. She considers it her best feature.
 * Love Interest: Heathcliffe Sarutobi. Played straight with chapter two's title, "Heathcliffe Sarutobi, the Perfect Boy".
 * Perky Goth: The three Sarutobi siblings count as perky goths. Although they love punk rock music and their entire wardrobe is from Hot Topic, they share a close, brotherly bond and Heathcliffe falls in love with Aki.
 * Molly also counts as one of these, as she wears gothic clothes to the dinner party in chapter three.
 * Qipao: Aki wears a qipao or a qipao blouse with pants or a skirt in every chapter. This has lead Yuki-Rin to coin the term, "Aki's Chenogsam of the Day".

 * Underdressed for the Occasion: Heathcliffe, Holden, and Soren go to the dinner party Crocodile is holding in chapter three dressed like they belong in Green Day.
