• Badass Decay: Lieselotte. In Arcana Heart 1, she's a bonafide Enfant Terrible assassin, but afterwards, she began to mellow down into Jerkass Woobie.
• Epileptic Tree - They tend to come up with theories with how Zenia and Lieselotte are related (they do look a bit alike...)
  • Seems to be Lampshaded with one of Zenia's win poses in Arcana Heart 3. It has Lieselotte peeking in from the side, almost curiously: Skip to 3:10 and see it here
  • And as of Zenia's Arcana Heart 3 ending, it's confirmed they are sisters.
• Game Breaker: Averted. Konoha's short physique helps her avoid many attacks, but she has a pretty short range.
  • Played straight with Elsa. Depending on arcana selection, she has several infinite combos in Arcana Heart 3.
• Genius Bonus: Akane Inuwaka's arcana is named after a type of fox. Knowing that, check out her ears under that do-rag.
• Heartwarming Moments: Saki's ending in 3 would've been an utter Tear Jerker when she broke down in tears after seeing Fiona off after her attempts to restore her into humans were a complete failure and lie... had it not for Heart coming shortly after and comforts her, despite Saki trying to push her away, which pulls it to this trope.
• Les Yay: Most of the girls have something for another.
  • Particularly notable with Clarice di Lanza, in that there is no such thing as subtext regarding her fixation with Elsa la Conti.
  • Mei Fang also seems to have shades of this with her creator. In her Arcana Heart 3 ending, it seems to be more than just shades.
  • Mildred also, with Fiona.
• Moe - The first fully Moe fighting game franchise.
• Nightmare Fuel: Lieselotte Achenbach... a cute little kid who's actually a world class assassin Enfant Terrible who carries a doll containing her sister's soul (Or so she thought). Uuuhh...
• The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard - At least for the semi-boss of Story Mode.
• Viewer Gender Confusion - Raise your hand if you think that had it not been her name and the fact that this is an All-Girls Fighting Game, you might pass up Dorothy Albright as a cute little boy.
• The Woobie: Every time Fiona Mayfield loses, she ends up crying and pleading for the opponent to stay away from Mildred.
