* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas

* TheLoad: Rose tends to [[CowerPower cower]] more than she fights. Later {{lampshaded}} by Rachel in the form of a TheReasonWhyYouSuckSpeech in Episode 13.

* ChristmasEpisode

* TragicDream: Rose spends several episodes looking for her DisappearedDad to convince him to return to the family and in episode 17, expresses to Kate and Claire that she wanted herself, her siblings and her parents to live as a family of five again while getting to know her dad. Unfortunately, the previous episode had revealed that all Animus were fated to lose their memories and live forever meaning that she could not stay with her family.

* HopeSpot: Lula presents one to the girls when they seem ready to quit fighting by showing them their dead bodies and telling them they can be resurrected and return to their normal lives if they can continue to fight. This lifts the girls' spirits up and they slowly begin to grow happier and start to get along with each other. Then comes [[TheReveal episode]][[AwfulTruth sixteen]].

* AntiVillain: Herve just wants to save his family from its curse.

* FridgeLogic:
** Why could J.C. fight the way he did? It's clearly stated that only women become Animus, and he wasn't part of the Delor clan.
** Why doesn't it occur to anyone to use the cursed tomes to remove the curses from both the Animus & Delore clan? If the books could used to curse both of them, then it stands to reason that it cure both of them.

* LesYay: The first episode has Kate pining for Lise on a very -- personal level. And at times, Paula seems very close to Kate -- ''very'' close. This goes into {{Anvilicious}} territory from episode 18 onwards.
