Line 10:
Not to be confused with ''[[Honey Honey]]'', another old-school shojo which is instead [[Gag Series|extremely silly,]] or the ''[[Axe Cop]]'' villain [[Name's the Same|by this name.]]

{{tropelist}}
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Terry is ''very'' popular in school, in the acting scene, and in the fandom.
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Eliza, at St. Paul's School. Complete with [[Girl Posse]] and all.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* [[Blind Without'Em]]: Patty and Stear. One adorably hilarious scene has both of them losing their glasses during a ball and trying to dance without them on anyway.
* [[Boarding School]]: A big part of the action happens in one, the high-class St. Paul School in England.
* [[Broken Bird]]: Flammy, Candy's nurse friend▼
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Poor Candy can't be happy for two episodes straight.
▲* [[Broken Bird]]: Flammy, Candy's nurse friend.
* [[Bungling Inventor]]: Stear.
* [[Children Are Innocent]]: Excluding Eliza and Neal, of course.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Susanna, Eliza to some degree.
* [[Coming of Age Story]]: It covers Candy's whole life since she was taken in by Miss Pony and Sister Maria as a baby, until she's at least in her twenties.
* [[Door Step Baby]]:
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]
* [[Evil Matriarch]]: Ruth Legan and Aunt Elroy.
* [[Flower Motifs]]: So many roses!
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Candy and (in many extent) Susanna.
* [[Go Out with a Smile]]: {{spoiler|Stear is smiling as his plane is shot down and crashes}}.
* [[Hate Sink]]: The Reagans are definitely designed so you want to get in there and strangle them to death. Mom, daughter, son. All of them! (Though only the latter two are more prominent)
* [[Heroic Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Terry}}.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Susanna is crippled after pulling a [[Diving Save]] on Terry and being crushed to almost death by a lamp.}}
* [[Hospital Hottie]]: Candy wants to be a nurse, and thus she enrolls in a medical school.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Candy, in regards to {{spoiler|Susanna and Terry}}.
* [[Jerkass]] <--> [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Terry bounces in and out of these two tropes.
* [[Just a Kid]]: {{spoiler|The reason why Albert isn't allowed to fully lead the Andree clan, and has to assume the "Uncle William" persona}}.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Does Eliza ever get whatever her just comeuppance is? Probably not.
** Well, at least her and her family's schemes failed in the end [[Humiliation Conga|and they were shamed by Albert]]...Considering that Albert is {{spoiler|the head of the Andree family, whose social status is quite higher than the Regans's}}, probably yes. And ''double'' if you think that {{spoiler|he ''might'' be the closest to Candy's True Love}}; if you adhere to that theory, then Eliza,
* [[Love Martyr]]: Candy skirts the line sometimes, in regards to Terry.
* [[Man in a Kilt]]: There are several attractive male characters of Scottish

* [[Missing Mom]]: Eleanor, {{spoiler|Terry's}} estranged mother.
▲* [[Mommy Issues]]: Terry. ''Oh, Terry''.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: If something good happens to Candy, expect something ''terrible'' happening to her in the next episode, or maybe even just minutes later. The best example is when Candy and Anthony go for a horse ride, enjoying each other's company and sharing a true idyllic moment... {{spoiler|then Anthony's horse gets its leg caught on a fox trap, and the horse's violent reaction throws Anthony out of his chair, breaking his neck in the fall and dying on the spot. The scene gets even more shocking as the color palette fades to sepia and the music
* [[Mysterious Protector]]: Uncle William, the never seen leader of the Andree clan, almost always takes Candy's side, but never shows up. {{spoiler|Or so we think.}}
* [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]]: Candy's locket, given to him by her "Prince from the Hill". {{spoiler|She thought said Prince was Anthony... but it was actually Albert.}}
Line 65:
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: Terry.

* [[The White Prince]]: Anthony, Archie, Stear, {{spoiler|Albert}}. ▼

▲* [[The White Prince]]: Anthony, Archie, Stear, {{spoiler|Albert}}.
* [[Youthful Freckles]]
