'''''Atelier Annie: Alchemist of Sera Island''''' is the second [[Nintendo DS]] entry in Gust Corporation's ''[[Atelier]]'' series, and is both the first DS Atelier title and the first Atelier with "traditional gameplay" to be released in North America.
A [[Lazy Bum|lazy young girl]] named Annie Eilenberg is unknowingly shipped off to Sera Island by her parents in order to force her to make something of herself. Left only with a note from her grandfather and a [[Fairy Companion|fairy sidekick]] named Pepe, she is pushed by her family to take up the trade of [[Alchemy Is Magic|alchemy]]. Shortly after she wakes up on the island for the first time, she is informed by a young man named Hans Arlens of a contest being held on the island. She and several other alchemists are to compete to build Sera Island into a resort paradise within three years. The person whose alchemy most impresses the judges will earn themself the title of "Meister", granting them a boatload of money and the opportunity to win the hand in marriage of one of the King's children.
Hearing those magic words ("money" and "marrying up"), Annie gets right to work...
{{tropelist}}
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: A lot of the characters are built like this; Annie is a "[[Determinator]]" who is only working hard in order to marry up [[Broken Aesop|so she'll never have to work again]], Kilbert is an [[Idiot Hero|Idiot "Hero"]] whose incompetence actually prevents him from using his full potential, Kyle is a [[Bungling Inventor]] who ends up ''really'' annoying people when his inventions don't work, etc.

* [[Bifauxnen]]: Annie. Poor, poor Annie. She gets mistaken for a boy ''constantly''. That she doesn't really have much of a fashion sense (or ''care'' to have one) doesn't help her much, either.
** Mueller is also this, but much more deliberately.
* [[Bishounen]]: God, practically ''every'' single playable male character is this, and they're the ''traditional'' type of Bishounen, too. Tall, willowy (although Kilbert is pretty well-built), handsome to the point of being pretty; the only one who ''doesn't'' fit this trope exactly is Beaux, as he's a [[Token
* [[Bishoujo Genre|Bishoujo]]: And on the other side of the coin? Oh yeah. Practically '''''every''''' unique-portrait female character is one (even Mueller, who really is too pretty to be a man). The actual appearances run the gamut, but without fail Sera Island is evidently packed with eye-poppingly gorgeous girls. The male demographic hasn't been ignored, either.
** The only exception is ''Annie'', of course, since, well, [[Bifauxnen|nobody is really sure if she should be filed under "bishoujo", "bishounen" or "neither"]]...
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|The 'normal' ending, where Annie is packing up to leave for the mainland because the project ran out of money. Only the 'bad' ending has a more depressing feel to it.}}
* [[Blade
* [[Boss Battle]]: Mostly averted, since your main goal is helping improve the island and not killing mobs. The few "boss battles" you do get into are against enemies who become regular opponents as you search the scavenging sites (with at least one exception in the {{spoiler|Rock Puni}}.)
* [[Chick Magnet]]: There are several scenes that involve Hans having to fight off mobs of admirers, including on one occasion a group of ''[[Even the Guys Want Him|men]]'' who'd [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|mistaken him for a girl]].
