Line 5:
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Despite being a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]], a [[Karma Houdini]] and basically not very likable at all, {{spoiler|Rosemary}} somehow managed to ''win'' the 2004 Sai Moe contest, beating Nadja herself on the final no less. Really. Quite ironic that the final round of a popularity contest just happened to be between Nadja and {{spoiler|Rosemary}} and {{spoiler|''Rosemary''}} won over her. Guess she got the last laugh after all.
** She at least does do ''something'' good in the end though, since {{spoiler|it's largely her [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|last speech to Nadja about making your own way through life instead of relying on nobility]] that leads Nadja to make the decision she makes in the final episode.}}
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: {{spoiler|[[Forgotten Friend, New Foe|Rosemary Applefield]], believing Nadja was stealing the princess life Rosemary had always dreamed of away from her and casting her aside, becomes a willing participant in [[Big Bad|Hermann Preminger's]] schemes and proves herself a deceptive, manipulative, and ruthless schemer in her own right at only age 13. Pretending to be the long lost Nadja Preminger to the Duke and to Nadja's mother Colette, Rosemary charms everyone with her elegance, courtesy, and [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|seeming innocence]], which proves useful when implicating the real Nadja, [[Gentleman Thief|the Black Rose]], and even the Applefield orphanage in alleged crimes against her. When Nadja catches her in this act, Rosemary [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit|feigns being a victim of Hermann's cruel plot]] before shredding Nadja's most cherished dress right before her eyes. In a later meeting Rosemary emotionally agitates Nadja to where it looks like she's assaulting Rosemary, which gets the police to go after Nadja. Nadja returns to prove her identity, but Rosemary is able to counter her claims with quick thinking and skillful manipulation of others in the room. After getting what she'd wanted but finding [[Victory Is Boring]], Rosemary is quick to denounce her alliance with [[Smug Snake|Hermann]], who himself has come to fear her. When Rosemary is proven to be a fraud, she gets only a slap in the face before showing herself to be a [[Graceful Loser]] and imparts words of advice to Nadja as she leaves the manor of her own accord, receiving [[Karma Houdini|no punishment for her actions]] and even [[Worthy Opponent|earning Nadja's respect.]]}}
