Line 19:
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Beauty befriends just about every animal that crosses her path, including a magical salamander, a bat, hedgehogs, a spider, toads, and a unicorn.
* [[The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry]]: Averted with nearly as much of a vengeance as it was in ''[[Beauty a Retelling of Beauty And The Beast|Beauty]]''. Lionheart and Jeweltongue start off the novel as very difficult people and do quite a bit of [[Character Development|developing]] over the course of the story, but even at the start of the story all three sisters get along quite well.
* [[Laser
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Lionheart is courageous and roars much like a lion when she gets mad, Jeweltongue is witty and sharp-tongued, and Beauty is, well, beautiful. People in the setting tend to have this kind of name in general; Ms. Bestcloth is a draper, Mr. Goldfield is a farmer, Mr. Whitehands is a baker and the Oldhouse family has lived in the town of Longchance for generations.
** The only notable exception is Jack Trueword, a spoiled and selfish young man who interrupts a literary meeting to tell a mean-spirited and almost completely false version of the story behind Rose Cottage and the (non-existent) curse on it. The rest of his family lives up to their name much better.
Line 27:
** [[Sweet On Polly Oliver]]: ...and one of the sons of the family she's working for falls in love with her.
* [[True Beauty Is On the Inside]]: Well, ''duh'', but there's actually an example of this before Beauty meets the Beast, when Beauty takes great care of a mass of extremely thorny, ugly, and seemingly dead plants and is rewarded when they bloom with beautiful and lovely-smelling roses.
* [[Year Outside, Hour Inside]]: Beauty stays with the Beast for only seven days, but when she returns to her sisters, she learns that seven months have passed for them.
** Which leads to a bit of [[Fridge Horror]] when you consider how fast the petals fell from the rose the Beast gave to Beauty even when she was away from the castle. If the condition of the rose represents the Beast's condition and it took less than a day for all the petals to fall outside of the castle, just how long ''did'' it take for the Beast to start dying when Beauty left him?
