Renamed to Short Teens Tall Adults per TRS. Removing any misuse.


* TeensAreShort: She's 15, but retains her small, petite body type from canon. Which becomes a problem when Kimia snatches her Mimikium Z and keeps it out of her reach.

Accidentally submitted previous edit early. Politcally Correct Hero isn't a trope; Politically Incorrect Hero is and so is Politically Correct Villain, but not Politically Correct Hero. Fixing other red links


* PoliticallyCorrectHero: When Princess Kimia confirms that her Gardevoir is a guy shortly ''after'' Acerola called him a "her", she actually takes a moment to apologize before Princess Kimia tells her it's fine.



** She later tries to argue [[spoiler: taking Alva with them]] Even after he explains what he did that got him imprisoned, and what his status as TheManInTheIronMask could cause.

* TownGirls: Acerola is the femme, being a GirlyGirl who primarily dons dresses, Lucy's the butch, being a tomboyish girl who prefers to wear more masculine clothing, And Mimikins is the neither, being essentially an EldrichAbomination hiding under a rag.

* {{Necromancer}}: At the very least implied; when Lucy points out that a consequence of failing their RooftopHopping idea is death, Acerola very casually argues she'll just bring her back to life if that happens.

* PowerfulButHelpless: In theory, Acerola should be very powerful thanks te her Ghost Aura powers giving her an edge over other Passengers. However, these powers are useless against Denizens, who are TheSoulless, and would only get her more enemies should she use them on Passengers. Couple this with Acerola herself having no combat ability herself, and she finds herself relying on Mimikins more often than not.

* DIdntSeeThatComing: She's honestly stumped when Princess Kimia not only hands back her Mimikium Z without fuss, but actually ''apologizes'' for it.

to:

* DIdntSeeThatComing: DidntSeeThatComing:
** Her ancestors doing a NoSell against her attempt to stop them with Ghost Aura leaves her stunned. Speaking of which, the Infinity Energy causing them to gain corporeal forms also completely stunned her.

* AdaptationalBadass: While they're just ornamental weapons, Lucy's swords still give her much more of an edge than her canonical counterpart ever got.



* AdaptationalSkill: Lucy, being such a minor character in canon, never shows an affinity or skill in anything. This version of her is at least somewhat good with a harmonica.

* WellTrainedButInexperienced: Acerola has been training her Ghost Aura powers since she was a child, leaving her as quite proficient in it by the present day... In theory. In practice, she mostly uses them to keep her targets at bay, encountering a roadblock when her ancestors turn tangible due to Infinity Energy. This only gets worse when she gets on The Train, where everybody is either outright immune to her powers (Denizens) or ones she can't use on at the possibility of alienating potential allies (Passengers).

* AmbiguouslyRelated: Her having "Montblanc" as part of her name indicates she belongs to Lusamine's family to an extent, and she ''was'' adopted by her Aether Foundation workers, but whether she's related to them by blood or not is yet to be confirmed.



* OddNameOut: In her smorgasbord of a full name, "Montblanc" and "Quartz" are the only ones not based on a flower.



* RelatedInTheAdaptation: The fact that "Montblanc" is in her name implies she's somehow related to Lusamine's family, of which she has no connection in canon.

to:

* HomeschooledHero: HeroicRROD: At the climax of the Usurped Kingdom Car, [[spoiler: Acerola levitates Princess Kimia and Lucy above the void that has become of the Car, keeping them in place long enough for the Car to restart and rebuild itself. However, the ensuing backlash proves too much for Acerola to handle, and she collapses soon after.]]
* HomeschooledKids:
She mentions being homeschooled by her father, who believed that as a Pualani, she was above proper education.

Added DiffLines:

* MindOverMatter: A soul-based variant. [[spoiler: Acerola manipulates both Lucy and Princess Kimia's souls in order to keep them afloat in the middle of the void left after the destruction of the Usurped Kingdom Car, managing to stay in the air long enough for the car to rebuild itself, before collapsing.]]


Added DiffLines:

* UselessSuperpowers: Outside of the Train, Acerola would be quite strong: being able to manipulate the souls of living beings gives her an edge that nobody else has. ''Inside'' the Train, however, her Ghost Aura is essentially worthless because not only are most of the entities within it Denizens, who are TheSoulless and thus immune to her powers, but the few people who could be affected, the Passengers, can't be used because it would only result in Acerola gaining herself and her team several enemies.

* AbsurdCuttingPower: They know how to use Cut, which they use to great effect to help Acerola's team escape, slicing and dicing the bars keeping them in place to bits.
* AntiDebuff: They know how to use Heal Bell. Unfortunately, this isn't enough to [[spoiler: heal Lucy's internal bleeding from impalement.]]

* SurroundedByIdiots: Back in Alola, she was constantly hounded by the spirits of her ancestors, who were incredibly persistent about her continuing the Pualani bloodline and how certain things were or weren't Alolan. Needless to say, she's happy to be far away from them for the time being.

* CynicIdealistDuo: This is a part of the dynamic between Acerola and Lucy. Acerola has a tendency to be cautious around people, and if they do something to wrong her, it takes a lot of effort to get on her good side again.
