!!''Lady in White'' contain examples of:

*AntagonisticOffspring: A distant example; [[spoiler:Roberta Remington, the head of the organisation that captured Elsa, is the great-great-granddaughter of Leif, Elsa’s great-nephew]].
*BerserkButton: It may have been centuries since Anna died, but threatening anything that reminds Elsa of her sister is still a bad move, as a potential mugger learns to his cost.
*DarkAndTroubledPast:
** Elsa reveals that she witnessed the deaths of most of her family during the French Revolution, and isolated herself even further from humanity after learning about the destruction of Hiroshima.
** Anna recalls at least one foster home where her foster father would hit his wife when he was drunk; when he was sent to prison after Anna had been with them for a couple of years, the man admitted that he probably would have killed his wife eventually (although he never did anything to Anna herself).
** Kristoff’s mother died of an unspecified illness when he was very young, and he has always felt guilty for not having the courage to see her when she was in hospital.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: In order to rescue Elsa, [[spoiler:Anna, Kristoff and Isaacson have to pose as soldiers in order to infiltrate a military base and rescue Elsa]].
*EvilCannotComprehendGood: Invoked when Elsa recalls how her nephew was killed by the new government of Arendelle, even after he agreed to the transition to a democracy, because certain parties couldn’t imagine that the former king ''wouldn’t'' try and stage some kind of coup later.
*EyeScream: At one point Anna fights off an attacking wolf pack by jamming a lit flare into the eye of one of the wolves.
*GenerationXerox: Kristoff appears to be an exact double of the ‘original’ Kristoff, and is all but explicitly confirmed to be his great-plus grandson.
*GeniusDitz: Anna Reinhert might be a clumsy student who oversleeps, unintentionally misses appointments, and has a very mismatched sense of fashion, but she earned a scholarship to Arendelle despite being a foster child, and her work on Arendelle’s mythology was enough to impress her professor to the extent that he hired her as her research assistant despite her just being a first-year student.
*HonorBeforeReason: Even when she hasn’t known Elsa very long (at least in this lifetime), Anna [[spoiler:is willing to even risk arrest by the United States government to keep her safe]].
*HumansAreBastards: Elsa doesn’t explicitly think of humanity as evil, but after sensing the devastation caused by the destruction of Hiroshima she is uncomfortable at the thought of what they are capable of.
*InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Suggested with Anna’s lecturer, Professor Andersen, who immediately assumes Anna is mocking him when she reveals that her dissertation is based on a research paper he wrote that basically ruined his own academic career, until he looks over her work, realises how good it is and confirms that she genuinely believes in what she’s written.
*ParentalAbandonment: Anna was abandoned as an infant and spent her childhood basically bouncing around foster homes
*RealityEnsues: Elsa feels ill after eating some modern foods too quickly simply because she isn’t used to them.
*ReincarnationFriendship: It is all but explicitly stated that Samantha ‘Anna’ Reinhert is actually the reincarnation of Elsa’s long-dead sister.
*RiddleForTheAges: Elsa never learned who was responsible for the death of her nephew Tyrell, as she felt that it wouldn’t do any good to give herself the chance to seek revenge.
*SecretlyWealthy: Due to investments made by his ancestor, Kristoff is so wealthy he can afford an Omega watch (which Anna notes costs as much as a full session at a major university) just by confirming confirm he’s been by the North Forest for most of the year twice a year, and yet he lives in a run-down shack near the woods.
