(took the voice actors off the trope list - people are not tropes, and we have a Characters subpage - added Book Ends, and did other copyediting)
(added One Steve Limit)
Line 90:
* [[Happily Married]]: Used straight with Sora's parents (both biological and adoptive) and the acrobats Mute and Alice. Subverted with a duo from the Festival who ''looked'' like they were happily married onstage much to Mia's amazement, but bitched at each other backstage much to Sora's chagrin.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Mia and Anna start out as Sora's worst tormentors. Once she proves her determination, they quickly change their opinion of her and develop into her best friends.
** Charlotte and Julie also do this much later in the season {{spoiler|when Yuri fires them from his new Kaleido Stage}}. But given the circumstances, you have to wonder if they were sincere or just had no further options.
* [[Heroic Self-Deprecation]]: Sora's lack of self-esteem about her own skills and her ''real'' goal.
* [[Hot Mom]]: Pamela the [[Cool Big Sis]] is a mother of two. Also, Sora's aunt and adoptive mother Midori Naegino is a Cute Shonen Mom.
Line 116:
* [[Ojou]]: Layla is a North American version of this.
* [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase]]: Sora -- "My wings are my dream, and on towards the sky!"
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Averted with Kenneth "Ken" Robbins (stage manager) and Mr. Kenneth (financial backer).
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Sora's natural parents are dead; her adoptive parents are supportive of her but stayed in Japan for a long time. Layla's mother died and her dad is good-hearted yet ''very'' workaholic. Leon is an orphan who abandoned his abusive adoptive relatives along with Sophie. And Yuri... [[You Killed My Father|well...]]
* [[Parents as People]]: Layla's father is this to a T.
