Line 82:
** Alternatively this could be [[Warrior Prince]].
* [[Love Triangle]]: The Captain, Maria and the Baroness.
* [[Magical Nanny]]: One of the classic examples, played by the [[Hey
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: Maria to the Captain.
* [[Meaningful Echo]]: The first time someone sings "Sixteen Going On Seventeen" to Liesel is her crush Rolf, giving her advice about boys. The second time the song is sung to her, it is from Maria, now her mother, giving her advice about love.

* [[Very Loosely Based
