Line 140:
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: Kujo is on the receiving end of one in {{spoiler|Episode 23 from a [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] who even [[Kick Them While They Are Down|kicks him for good measure]].}}
* [[No Social Skills]]: Victorique never really had a chance to develop them, resulting in her characteristic bluntness and making such things as [[Dull Surprise|her attempts at]] [[Noblewoman's Laugh|polite laughter]] a... memorable experience for all present.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Pulled off by ''{{spoiler|[[UpperclassUpper Class Twit|Grevil]]}}'', of all people, in Episode 10. If Episode 11 is any indication, {{spoiler|Grevil}} has always been fairly bright... just not as bright as Victorique. He's still quite dumb with various weird conclusions he makes. He's smart in very narrow fields, and {{spoiler|police work}} is not one of them, despite his good eye for detail -- when he bothers looking in the first place.
* [[Of Corset Hurts]]: Victorique runs afoul of an antique one in episode 22.
* [[Official Couple]]: Kazuya and Victorique, natch.
Line 151:
* [[Phone-in Detective]]: Very common for Victorique, due to the restrictions her family have placed on her movements. In fact, it's implied to be the exclusive method by which she helped out Grevil before Kazuya came along. She's literally this in the Jeantan case, due to being bedridden with sickness.
* [[Ping-Pong Naivete]]: Victorique is solving a complex crime with second-hand information one moment, and not knowing that one can get a carriage for hire the next.
* [[Police Are Useless]]: Not helped by having an [[UpperclassUpper Class Twit]] as their acclaimed chief investigator. Averted in the Jeantan case.
* [[Prophet Eyes]]: Used, naturally, whenever someone's making a prophecy, though it's really more of a case of their eyes rolling up in their heads.
* [[Rape as Backstory]]: {{spoiler|Cordelia, Victorique's mother, was kidnapped by the Marquis de Blois and forced to bear his child once he found out that she was a [[Human Subspecies|Grey Wolf]].}}
Line 195:
* [[Tsurime Eyes]]: Victorique and Avril.
* [[Unkempt Beauty]]: Mildred
* [[UpperclassUpper Class Twit]]: Grevil is one who happens to be ''in a position of actual authority''. One can only imagine what state Sauville's criminal justice system would be in without [[Child Prodigy|Victorique]] around....
* [[Vague Age]]: In episode 7 Victorique indirectly states that she's around ten to twelve years old, though later recollections by other characters place her as being around fifteen, which would fit with the tendency for Grey Wolves to be [[Older Than They Look]] and explain why she's in Kazuya's class at school. {{spoiler|This is acknowledged in the Episode 24 description given to folks trying to capture Victorique as she runs as far away from Sauville - as was suggested - as she can get.}}
* [[Vestigial Empire]]: {{spoiler|Seyrun. Very, ''very'' vestigial.}}
