Line 4:
Little cute Nadja Applefield lives in a British orphanage, the Applefield house. She's the local [[Cool Big Sis]], dances around to distract herself and wonders how is her mother doing in Heaven, while steeling herself for ther 13th birthday when she'll have to leave her home and start building her own life away from the orphanage.
One day, however, her life changes. Miss Applefield, her guardian, brings her a trunk with several pretty things (a diary, a [[Pimped
But before Nadja can digest all the news, two Bad Men come up to steal her things. Specially, Nadja's [[Orphan's Plot Trinket|medallion]], which seems to be connected with her past. After being rescued by a [[Mysterious Protector]] and a fire almost destroys the Applefield Orphanage, Nadja stuffs her belonging in her suitcase and takes off to search for her mother, her past, and answers to her questions.
Line 20:
* [[Anime First]]
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Leonardo and Julietta, which becomes a [[Perfectly Arranged Marriage]] once [[Character Development|Leonardo gets over himself]]. {{spoiler|Francis and Marianne ''were'' going to be betrothed, but Nadja appears and throws a huge wrench in the plans.}}
* [[Armor
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: {{spoiler|Rosemary, post [[Freak Out]]}}
* [[Body Double]]: {{spoiler|Since both she and Nadja are sweet-faced, blue-eyed, blonde pre-girls, Rosemary plays this role and impersonates Nadja ''real'' well.}}
Line 53:

* [[Hey
** Also, Nadja is voiced by Ami Koshimizu. IIRC, it was Koshimizu's first famous role.

Line 65:
* [[Jerkass]]: Fernando, Hermann, Duke Preminger and {{spoiler|Rosemary}}.
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: {{spoiler|Keith}}, Marianne, Antonio, John Whittard.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: {{spoiler|Though Hermann, Rosso and Bianco go to jail, Rosemary goes away without more punishment aside of Nadja slapping her once and beating her verbally.}}. Also, Antonio never was punished for his [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]] mentality, {{spoiler|aside of failing to woo Julietta.}}
* [[Kidanova]]: Nadja. Oh God, Nadja.
* [[Ladykiller in Love]] {{spoiler|According to Julietta, Leonardo stopped flirting with other girls when Antonio became his rival in love, paying more attention to her}}.
* [[Les Yay]]: Nadja and Rosemary are a textbook exampel of [[Romantic Two
* [[Love Hurts]]: Holy shit, it does.
* [[Mad Love]]: Rosemary has a crush on Fernando, who treats her like crap.
Line 77:
* [[Miniature Senior Citizens]]: Grandma Anna
* [[Missing Mom]]: Nadja's mother, {{spoiler|Colette}} Also, Francis's mother. {{spoiler|Who is also Keith's [[Missing Mom]], of course}}
* [[Moral Myopia]]: {{spoiler|When Keith finds out about Nadja choosing Francis, he berates brother his twin for "wanting to keep a free spirit like Nadja in a [[Gilded Cage]]" in his opinion. Well, Keith... who are ''you'' to single-handedly decide that Nadja will undoubtly be unhappy with the guy she has chosen - ''[[Green
* [[Mouthy Kid]]: TJ Livingston, Fernando Gonzales
* [[Naive Everygirl]]: Nadja. Rosemary starts as one.
Line 83:
* [[The Ojou]]: Marianne, Julietta, Colette.
* [[Orphanage of Love]]: Applefield house.
* [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]]: Nadja's medallion is the biggest proof of her identity. To a degree, also her [[Pimped
* [[Parasol of Pain]]: Sylvie
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Nadja and all the Applefield kids, Francis {{spoiler|and Keith}}, Antonio ([[Disappeared Dad]], distanced from his mom), Harvey and TJ, Kennosuke and Hanako, Rita...
Line 96:
* [[Sacred First Kiss]]. Subverted. {{spoiler|Nadja is mad as Hell at the Black Rose Thief for kissing her... but this isn't her first kiss. That one was given to her by Francis... who happens to be Black Rose's twin younger brother, but nobody knows that}}.
* [[Sad Clown]]: Abel Geiger is a more or less normal one with great wisdom and knowledge, but his backstory is [[Tear Jerker|maybe the saddest]] in the whole series.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: Of ''course'' this one would happen.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Nadja often dresses up elegantly for special occasions, some of them being VERY plot-important. {{spoiler|When Rosemary sees Nadja like this, her already frail self-esteem crashes and she had a huge [[Freak Out]]}}
* [[Shorttank]]: Nadja, again

* [[Story Arc]]: The show is a somewhat episodic world tour up until the last 15 episodes, in which a more concrete storyline finally transpires.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Hermann.
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Again, Antonio and {{spoiler|Keith (despite him being blond)}}
* [[Tenchi Solution]]: {{spoiler|Nadja keeps wavering between Francis and Keith. By the end of the series, the three meet up and reach a common agreement so they leave it there for a while, until they're more mature. Still, it's hinted that Keith is more than willing to pull an [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] if needed...}}
* [[The Masochism Tango]]: Jose and Carmen. OUCH.
Line 122:
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: {{spoiler|Colette's kind second husband and Nadja's stepfather, Count Gerhard Waltmueller. Doubles as [[Second Love]].}}
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Hermann has one at the end.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Hermann is the example of what happens when this trope becomes someone's [[Start of Darkness]].
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Thomas hates violence, George hates ghosts, Rita hates fire.
* [[Wicked Stepmother|Wicked Stepfather]]: While Hermann's stepson isn't the main victim of his wickedness (aside from how Hermann treats Oscar's mother), it doesn't change the fact Hermann ''is'' somebody's stepfather and a wicked person. While Hermann occasionally pressures Oscar into marrying some wealthy woman, it's unlikely it'd be any different if they were related by blood. In fact, the only relevance Oscar not being Hermann's biological son has to the plot is that it's the main (or only) reason Duke Preminger doesn't consider making Oscar his heir.
** {{spoiler|Count Waltmuller}} averts this trope by {{spoiler|allowing Nadja to live with him. She decided to return to the Dandelion Troupe, anyway}}.
