* AnAesop:
** Not everyone finds pranks funny just because you do, and in some cases, can push people to have breakdowns. It's always important to have empathy for others and care about their limits.
** Diet culture is only sustainable if you also make sure to eat enough, and can have horrible effects on your health if you don't care for yourself properly.

Belinda is not an unusual name, especially not for early 1900's England. Kelly was usually a boys' name during that time.


* AerithAndBob: Patricia, Isabelle, Allison, Catherine, Doris, Janet, Hillary and ''Belinda''.



* GenderBlenderName: There's a character named Kelly, but he's a boy.



* LighterAndSofter: The anime lacks many of the mean-spirited moments from the book, like everyone agreeing Alma deserves to be bullied and the girl's tendencies to be heavily judgy to one another.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: In one episode, Janet learns how to read tarot cards and gives her classmates palm readings. She tells Isabel that she will have a bad fate. That night, Isabel dreams that Saint Clare's is on fire, with the horses also being affected. Janet is a {{Troll}}, so she may have done it on purpose, but still...

** Though, the O'Sullivans are possibly Irish based on their surname. If so, Allison's red hair would make it this trope.

*HappyEnding: [[spoiler: In the final episode, Pat and Isabel are selected to go to London and give a speech that's held annually, but they don't know what to put. They decide not to worry, because a school like St. Claire's will certainly help them mature and face all of life's obstacles. They end up realizing that this could be their speech, and get a standing ovation.]]



** Though, the O'Sullivan twins are possibly Irish based on their surname. That also plays the trope straight, with their [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Irish_(folklore) dark hair]] and blue eyes.

To their surprise, they actually find out they like St. Clare's, despite initially being against the idea, and they're welcomed amongst their fellow first formers, who are all RagtagBunchOfMisfits of some sort. Pat and Isabel fit right in, and what begins is an unforgettable school year.
