The series tells the story of Nina, an American student who earns a scholarship to a fancy English [[Boarding School]] and becomes a member of the House of Anubis, believed to be the nicest house on campus. On the day of Nina's arrival, another student named Joy is pulled out of the school under mysterious circumstances, prompting her roommate, Patricia, to suspect that the school faculty are enacting some kind of conspiracy. First aired on January 1, 2011, as part of a two-night series premiere.

First aired on January 1, 2011, as part of a two-night series premiere.
Here are some of the principal characters
Line 11 ⟶ 10:
* '''Fabian Rutter''' - A student in the House of Anubis who is nice to Nina right from the beginning.
* '''Patricia Williamson''' - Joy's roommate and friend. Patricia is suspicious of the circumstances under which Joy disappeared, especially since Joy left behind her cell phone and her favorite stuffed animal.
* '''Amber Millington''' - Another female student. Mick's girlfriend at the start of the series.
* '''Mick Campbell''' - Student in the House of Anubis and Amber's boyfriend. Likes sports.
* '''Mara Jaffray''' - Amber's best friend, but there's some romantic tension between Mara and Mick.
* '''Jerome Clarke''' - Male student in the House of Anubis. Seems to enjoy causing chaos.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* '''Rufus Zeno''' - A man posing as a private investigator.
* '''Eddie Miller''' - A new American student in Season 2. Seems to be a bit of a troublemaker, not to mention being ridiculously flirtatious. {{spoiler|In the season 2 finale, it turns out that he is destined to be Nina's protector.}}
{{tropelist}}
* [[Acting for Two]]: Averted. Though {{spoiler|Patricia}} has a twin sister, introduced in "House Of Snoops", she's played by {{spoiler|Jade Ramsey's}} [[Real Life Relative|real life sister]] Nikita.
* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: Eddie calls Patricia "Yacker." This started as an insult, but took on a different meaning when they started dating.
* [[Almost Kiss]]: {{spoiler|Patricia and Eddie. She pulls away.}}
* [[Arc Number]]: Seven. Anubis split the Cup of Ankh into seven pieces and [[The Chosen One]] was born on the seventh hour of the seventh day in the seventh month. Seven acolytes are necessary in order to tip the scales of life. Also, the Cup of Ankh can only be put back together once every 25 years. (2+5=7) Doubles as a [[Numerological Motif]] for the Cup.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]:
{{quote|
* [[Back for
* [[Bathroom Stall of Overheard Insults]]: Amber steps out of a bathroom stall just after hearing Mara tell Patricia that she's attracted to Mick. It goes over about as well as you'd expect.
** In ''House of Victory'' , this is how Jerome learns that {{spoiler|Mick cheated so Mara would win the election.}}
Line 43 ⟶ 42:
* [[Brick Joke]]: Early in Season 1, the possibility of Anubis House being haunted is brought up, but then dismissed. Fast forward to Season 2, where the house turns out to actually be haunted.
* [[Brutal Honesty]]:
{{quote|
'''Everyone:''' "No."
'''Jerome:''' "Yes." }}
* [[Buffy-Speak]]: Nina refers to the ghost that is haunting her as a "Curse-y spirit".
* [[Call Back]]: In ''House Of Yesterday'', Nina says "Crisis averted, for now" which are the same words Victor said after destroying Joy's file in ''House Of Eyes.''
** The roommate swapping between Amber and Patricia could be considered a [[Call Back]] to the original ''Het Huis Anubis'', in which Amber was roommates with Nienke and Patricia was roommates with Mara.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Victor: "You have five minutes precisely and then I want to hear a pin drop." Can also be taken as a sign of his {{spoiler|real age}}, since the expression "Hear a pin drop" is no longer in style.
** Nina: "I'm Nina, from America." Lampshaded by Patricia:
{{quote|
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The blank phonographic cylinder that made the horrible screeching noise when Fabian and Nina attempted to play it. {{spoiler|It was fake. It has a clue hidden inside it.}}
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Eddie. He appears in Season 2 as a new student from America and a [[Love Interest]] for Patricia, but in the season finale, he turns out to be {{spoiler|the Osirian, counterpart and guardian to [[The Chosen One]].}}
Line 58 ⟶ 57:
** Nina acts like this toward Joy in Season 2, regarding the fact that they both love Fabian. She takes no pleasure in feeling this way.
* [[The Chosen One]]: {{spoiler|Joy}} seems like this, but in the season finale it turns out to be {{spoiler|Nina}}. [[Lampshaded]] by Jerome:
{{quote|
** {{spoiler|Eddie turns out to be this as well, if only as the yang to Nina's yin. Somehow, he knew how to banish Senkhara from Nina's body, when she was about to sacrifice herself for her friends and family.}}
* [[Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are]]: {{spoiler|Rufus}} in ''House Of Hazard''
Line 70 ⟶ 69:
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Jade Ramsey, who plays Patricia, is 23 and Klariza Clayton, who plays Joy, is 22.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Nina has some moments of this:
{{quote|
'''Nina:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Just remembering all the fun times we had down there.]] }}
** Mara can do this too:
{{quote|
'''Amber:''' But I hate doing the dishes, the water makes my hands all wrinkly.
'''Mara:''' I know. If only there were some sort of glove, made of rubber, that could protect your hands from water. }}
** Eddie as well:
{{quote|
'''Eddie:''' Yeah, you made that perfectly clear by the way you screamed and hid. }}
** Amber got in on it when they were taking the reflector out of the mosaic:
{{quote|
'''Amber:''' Yes, we wouldn't want to break it because [[Sarcasm Mode|it's just so pretty.]] }}
* [[Deal
* [[Death Glare]]:
** Nina has this down pretty well.
** Victor is the grand champion of this trope.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Mick and Mara. Their relationship subplot towards the end of the series only served as fluff [[Padding]] and had very little significance to the Sibuna plot aside from setting up the date of the prom dance.
** Mick wasn't even in a good portion of the second season, being [[Put
** Joy. Apparently, being "The Chosen One" will rob you of all the limelight of the show or even won't have you in group photos (see the page photo). But is she really the Chosen One?
* [[Dueling Shows]]: With ''[[Tower Prep]]''
* [[Different As Night and Day]]: {{spoiler|Patricia and Piper}}
* [[Dismantled MacGuffin]]: The Cup of Ankh.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: {{spoiler|Mr. Sweet}} was this to {{spoiler|Eddie}} but he's at least attempting to rectify this.
* [[Dumb Blond]]: Amber and to a lesser extent Mick.
** Amber is turning into the worst of the two. So much that it hurts. [[Unfortunate Implications|It's also very insulting to most viewers who are blond.]]
** Eddie though seems to be more of a [[Brilliant but Lazy|smart yet lazy]] type, so averted with him
Line 99 ⟶ 98:
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: The relationship between Fabian and Nina definitely falls under this.
* [[Fallen Hero]]: {{spoiler|Rufus}} was Sarah's Osirian, but the power went to his head.
* [[Fascinating Eyebrow]]: Jerome has demonstrated this a few times.
* [[Five-Man Band]]: Characters for both genders apply.
** [[The Hero]] - Nina (Fabian also applies)
Line 108 ⟶ 107:
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Jerome's mischievious behavior is partially explained by the fact that his parents left him at House Of Anubis to get rid of him.
** Victor actually did see Sarah as a friend at one point, but his father changed all that.
** Joy manipulating Fabian, posting horrible slander about Nina on the school website to ruin her image and try to make her leave the school, and committing plagiarism are all due to her excuse of thinking Nina has stolen everything from her. [[Subverted]] from an [[In
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Nina. When one of the clues is solved too easily (mostly because {{spoiler|Victor has already solved it}}), she immediately suspects something. And is usually right.
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Amber isn't very book smart, but she does come up with some pretty good ideas during the search for the treasure.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: In ''House of Pests'', the students from Anubis House are forced to stay in the school when Victor fakes an infestation of mice. Mara suggests that she and Mick "set up camp" in one part of the school building. Trudy quickly stops them and says "boys in the classroom, girls over here." The fact that Mara wanted to sleep in the same area as Mick makes her intentions pretty clear.
** In House of Cheats, the drama teacher tells them to group up in pairs, and Mick and Fabian are grouped together. Than the teacher says "Three simple words; I love you." The guys look at each other, smile awkwardly, and step back from each other. This is also a bit of a [[Funny Background Event]]
* [[A God Am I]]: Rufus does this in the Season 2 finale. {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real|His delusions of Godhood don't last long though.]]}}
{{quote|
* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language]]: The science teacher says a lot of stuff in Latin that he could just say in English. [[You Are the Translated Foreign Word|Then he says them in English anyway.]]
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Joy towards Nina.
Line 128 ⟶ 127:
* [[Historical In-Joke]]: Robert Frobisher-Smythe was part of Howard Carter's famous expidition into King Tut's tomb.
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Each episode so far has been titled "House Of _____"
* [[Idiot Ball]]: The main characters have an annoying habit of letting Victor in on their suspicions of him. Up until Rufus comes along, Sibuna believes he's responsible for Joy's disappearance and is up to something sinister. Instead of keeping secret about it like someone normally would do, they talk about it openly in front of each other and their classmates. Amber is the worst offender as her [[Dumb Blonde]] status makes her ask about it in class. Her defense? She was trying to get information.
** {{spoiler|In one episode the group finds a picture of Victor Sr. and a Victor Jr. They instantly assume that the Jr. is the Victor they know and throw out the potion of immortality theory. They never assume that the one they know might have a son, nor do they stop and think that even Victor Jr. would be around 80 without the potion.}}
** Hey, so we know all this information on the secrets of the house that would probably get us killed or seriously injured if they knew that we knew. Clearly, the best idea here is to put on a play about it that everyone will see.
Line 136 ⟶ 135:
* [[Immortality]]: Obtained if you drink the Elixir of Life from the Cup of Ankh. But {{spoiler|[[Equivalent Exchange|someone else will die if you do.]]}}
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Two within the same episode!
{{quote|
'''Alfie:'''(after security footage shows Victor cleaning his nose hairs) Show another tape, it seems you've got a ''nose'' for comedy! }}
* [[It Sucks to Be
** Played Straight in season 2, where a dark spirit is making the Chosen One's life a living hell.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Joy in the Season Finale, when she encourages Fabian to go be with Nina.
* [[Jerkass]]: Patricia all the way. Right from the beginning she's rude, hostile and downright vicious to poor Nina, who doesn't have a clue as to what she's done to earn her wrath. She goes back and forth between being decent to a downright little witch throughout the series. The way she just splashed water all over her friend Amber after she told Nina something she wasn't supposed to was crossing a line. Her attitude is alienating the rest of her friends and Fabian even calls her out on it.
{{quote|
'''Fabian:''' Since you became such a witch, Patricia. }}
** Jerome is one as well, considering all the stuff he's done. At least Patricia got better.
** Eddie. Even Patricia thinks he's a royal jackass and coming from her that says a lot.
* [[Jerk
* [[Just Friends]]: In "House Of Heartbreak", Nina and Fabian decide that it's best for them to remain this way.
* [[Karmic Death]]: {{spoiler|Rufus}}.
Line 163 ⟶ 162:
* [[No MacGuffin, No Winner]]: Sort of. The [[McGuffin]] is used once, but the accompanying elixir necessary to use it turns out to be fake, so it doesn't work. The end of the series has the [[McGuffin]] buried under the house, with only the heroes, (and possibly only one of them), knowing where it is.
** Again at the end of Season 2: Presumably, the Mask of Anubis will now leave the house with the rest of the Egyptian exhibition, putting it out of reach of both sides. Even if it doesn't, the only person in the house who can use it has no intention of doing so.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Fabian seems like this for a while.
* [[Official Couple]]: Nina and Fabian.(Though they try to deny it...see [[Everyone Can See It]])
* [[Older Than They Look]]: {{spoiler|Victor is really ninety-five.}} Ditto for {{spoiler|Rufus Zeno}}.
Line 172 ⟶ 171:
* [[The Prankster]]: Alfie
* [[Precision F-Strike]]:
{{quote|
* [[Reality Warper]]: Senkhara's powers have shades of this. {{spoiler|She's marked most of the cast with the Mark of Anubis ''in their dreams''; caused Fabian's memory to fail, Alfie to age backwards and Amber forward, and Patrica to lose her voice; and forced a non-stone [[Taken for Granite]] state on Vera.}}
* [[
* [[The Reveal]]: The Collector is {{spoiler|Rufus Zeno}}.
* [[Scholarship Student]]: Once again, Nina
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: In-universe example:
{{quote|
'''Driver:''' No, that'd just be my driving. }}
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Fabian to Nina, and vice versa. [[Everyone Can See It|Amber thinks they go on "secret dates."]]
Line 184 ⟶ 183:
* [[Smart People Know Latin]]: Eric Sweet is versed in Latin and routinely spouts Latin phrases, presumably to demonstrate how smart he is.
* [[Speak of the Devil]]: In the Season One finale, Jerome says he's "never going anywhere near Rufus again", only to promptly be texted by him
{{quote|
* [[Squick]]: The entire 'Goose ate a gem, and they need it back' incident, in-universe and out-of-universe. Let's just leave it at that
** Victor and Vera as well. Especially in-universe
* [[Take That]]: Fabian's comment that "just because it doesn't have [[Robert Pattinson]] on the cover doesn't mean it's not worth reading" sounds like a [[Take That]] to the ''[[Twilight (
* [[Taxidermy Is Creepy]]: Especially Corbierre.
* [[Teacher-Student Romance]]: {{spoiler|Mara}} takes pictures of {{spoiler|Mick}} innocently laughing with a teacher and then sends them in to the school anonymously, making it seem like this in ''House of Emergency''.
* [[Ten
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Jerome and Alfie start as this, but become more involved in the main plot later on. Mara and Mick fit this mold, although Mara is vaguely aware of Patricia's activities for a while.
* [[Thrash Metal]]: In Season 2, Patricia is supposed to book a classical quintet to play at the Egyptian exhibition, but [[Jerkass|Eddie]] messes it up and gets a thrash metal band instead. Victor doesn't take it well, but luckily for Patricia, the band knows how to play classical music too.
* [[Took a Level
** Though she has gotten [[What the Hell, Hero?|called out on it]], by Amber, Jerome and Eddie in front of their entire class, and even Patricia thinks Joy can't continue to re-use her excuse of having been kidnapped last term as to why everyone's so out of sync with her.
* [[Trans
* [[True Companions]]: The Sibuna gang
* [[Tsundere]]: Patricia and Eddie, Type A, to each other. Eddie refers to being deredere/honest as "lowering his force field". When Patricia stays tsuntsun, he vwooshes it back up.
* [[Turncoat]]: {{spoiler|Jason Winkler}} starts out helping Patricia in Season 1, but betrays her to join the Secret Society. He had a good reason though; {{spoiler|he was dying from a degenerative disease and the Cup of Ankh was his only way out.}}
* [[Turn the Other Cheek]]: Nina does this a few times for Patricia. And later once for Joy.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Nina and Particia, occasionally.
* [[Wearing a Flag
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Alfie has trouble getting his father's praise.
* [[Wham! Line]]: Not a specific line, but a moment: {{spoiler|The scene where Nina's grandmother turns out to be Senkhara's "timepiece". Seriously no one saw that coming.}}
* [[What Does She See in Him?]]: Mick says this regarding Amber's supposed crush on Alfie.
{{quote|
'''Jerome:''' Well, they say love is blind, mate.
'''Mick:''' It'd have to be blind and have no sense of smell. }}
* [[What Would X Do?]]: In one scene, Amber asks "What would Victoria Beckham do?"
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: Amber says this during a discussion of Egyptian mythology in class.
* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: Alfie pulls one off in ''House Of Agendas''.
* [[You Are the Translated Foreign Word]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]]. The science teacher does follow up his Latin statements with their English translations, but only because he is speaking to students who don't know Latin and therefore wouldn't be reasonably expected to understand the untranslated statements.
* [[You Were Trying Too Hard]]: The Sibuna gang agonize over how to open the puzzle box early in the series, only to have it open by itself when Fabian drops it and it turns to the correct combination.
* [[You're Just Jealous]]: Mara to Patricia in ''House of Scares''.
