* LimitedUseMagicalDevice: Demetra's mirror can only be used three times a day, Emily's pan flute can only be used once a day and keeps her the size it's turned her to until sunrise or sunset, and Roxanne's shield runs on a time limit. The only limit on Sabrina's magic dust appears to be the quantity she has on hand.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In erasing the BeautyEqualsGoodness implications of the original work, the 2020 reprint changes the ugly Darklings to make the Dreadlings look normal, but with scary eyes.
* AdaptationalDiversity: Many of the characters, including three out of four princesses, got {{Race Lift}}s in the 2020 reprint.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: The Jewel Princesses are sisters in 1997 and in the 1999 film, but cousins in the 2020 reprint.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: At the end of the movie adaptation of the first book, Roxanne and Hapgood repeatedly bid goodbye to the viewers. It's a little jarring, given that this didn't happen anywhere else in the movie nor in any of the books.



* BirthmarkOfDestiny: The Jewel Princesses each have their gem marked on their arm, though it doesn't come up often.



* CowardlyLion: Demetra is largely characterized by her paralyzing fear of anything to do with Lord Bleak, and she's also deeply afraid of the dark. However, she still manages to stand up and assert herself when her people's well-being depends on it.



* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: The entire series revolves around gems, crowns, and the pretty fantasy of having them. The first run's {{Feelies}} were costume jewelry themed after each princess!

* AccidentalHero: In the fourth book, Finley screws up [[spoiler:by wasting the last mirror wish of the day, but coincidentally, what he accidentally shows (instead of Lord Bleak in exile) still proves to Bernard that Demetra is telling the truth.]]



* ArtifactOfDoom: A mild example, given it's foiled by just proving it's bad and then taking it someplace else, but [[spoiler:the picnic basket in book 2 isn't just poisoned; it's actively malevolent, displaying powers like drawing its intended target to it magnetically, briefly hypnotizing her, and jumping right into her hands, just to get her to eat the tainted food.]]



* AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: The climax of the first book shows Roxanne's coronation (technically all the Jewel Princesses', but the others were crowned offscreen).



* BigFancyCastle: Each of the princesses has one, and they grew up in a fifth, the Jewel Palace.

* PrincessProtagonist: Four of them. The series opens on their coronation.


Added DiffLines:

* RebelliousPrincess: Roxanne runs away in the first book because she doesn't like propriety, doesn't think she can handle ruling, and is afraid of moving away to the land she's going to rule and being alone.
* TheRemnant: Bernard the Bear is a prisoner of war -- a war that ended over a decade ago, and thought to be dead by his comrades, he's resigned to his fate.

Like all [[TheFairFolk fairy tales]], there is a [[SarcasmMode dark side]], [[BigBad Lord]] [[ObviouslyEvil Bleak]], Has a [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses daughter]], who seems to be Roxxane's EvilCounterpart and is usually the main villain.

Has a film.

!!This series contains examples of the following tropes:

* ActionGirl: All the princesses, but Roxanne takes the cake.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The girls. Their parents...less so.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Surprisingly enough, ''not'' inverted, though it seems that way at first glance. The colors refer to the personality types of each girl, using the FourElementEnsemble in reference to the Four Seasons: Demetra, Winter/Air; Roxanne, Fire/Autumn; Sabrina, Water/Spring; Emily, Earth/Summer. This also appears in their kingdoms, which are eternally in their 'season'.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The books, mostly. They look pretty dumb and glittery, but they've got a few levels that you have to think to catch, such as the FourElementEnsemble of the girls.
* DarkMagicalGirl: Lord Bleak's daughter. Demetra and Roxanne run the risk of this when they're older, depending on whether or not they have natural, latent magic.
* TheDitz: Emily comes off as this.
* ImprobableAge: These girls are ''10 years old''. They're not old enough to clean their rooms. Why are they running the kingdom? (And from the looks of the maps, it really is the ''whole'' kingdom.)
* [[LikeFatherLikeSon Like Father Like Daughter]]: Lord Bleak's daughter.
* MeaningfulName: ''Rox''anne rules the Ruby ''Mountains''. King ''Regal'' and Queen ''Jemma'' are obvious. Lord ''Bleak'' rules a barren, dying country.
* ParentalAbandonment: Where the hell ''are'' those guys? We see them in the first book, and that's it.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Supposedly everyone, and the girls ''are'' mature for their ages, but the question of [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers who in their right minds lets kids become heroes]] is a big one.
* ShrinkingViolet: Played straight with Sabrina, averted in Roxanne.
* WinterRoyalLady: Demetra.
