31	----
32	This series contains examples of:
33
34	* ActionMom: Carrie. The action-y aspects of her adventures might be downplayed, being a HiddenObjectGame, but Carrie certainly is a badass.
35	* AnachronismStew: Not unusual for the genre. From ''The Charleston Curse'' there is some indication that the series is set mid-late 20th century. Meanwhile the machines and monsters created by witches and witch hunters throughout the series range from EldritchAbomination to steampunk to futuristic.
36	* BadassNormal: Carrie, who will do just about anything to protect Lynn, her adopted daughter – even before she's properly met the girl. And she doesn't have any power. Also Jack, who starts out as a skeptic but after rescuing several loved ones from supernatural baddies, takes strange events in stride.
37	* BattleCouple: According to Carrie, Lynn and Edward are this, though we never actually see them do so.
38	* BecomingTheMask: Subverted with Edward. [[spoiler:He's sent to gain Lynn's trust but ends up falling in love with her for real. However he's still considered a witch hunter in the next game despite remaining in a relationship with Lynn]].
39	* BigBad: Morgana – the one who warped Elisabeth to be the way she is and the one who is ultimately pulling Elisabeth's strings.
40	* BigGood: Wolfgang.
41	* BrokenBird: To a certain extent Lynn and Edward both qualify but Abigail has probably had it the worst [[spoiler:being raised by Elisabeth]] – she even ends up being a bird for a while.
42	* {{BSOD}}: In the third game, Edward and the head witch hunter after Elisabeth sends them into deep sleep which plays into their guilt. Lynn, too, but hers is about how she can’t lose anyone else [[spoiler:and Edward's perceived betrayal]].
43	* CoolGate: The portals created by Lynn and Elisabeth.
44	* ADayInTheLimelight: The bonus chapter in ''The Ties that Bind'' is played from the pov of the Imp and in ''Slumbering Darkness'' it's Lynn.
45	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Both Lynn's and Edward's [[spoiler:and Abigail's]] parents were killed by witches.
46	* {{Determinator}}: Carrie will stop at nothing if Lynn is in danger.
47	* DistressedDamsel: Lynn. In fact the battle for her is usually the plot of the story.
48	* DistressedDude: Edward is slightly less likely to find himself in trouble than Lynn--but only slightly.
49	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''The Charleston Curse'' has a few inconsistencies with the rest of the series. The most notable is using live actors instead of animation and voiceover like the following games.
50	* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Morgana and Abigail.
51	* EldritchLocation: Where most of the stories take place. They start somewhere normal and quickly devolve.
52	--->'''Carrie:''' Did that teddy bear just move?
53	* EnemyMine: In ''Hunter and the Hunted'' Carrie and Elisabeth briefly team up to rescue Lynn from the witch hunters.
54	* EvilLaugh: Elisabeth, in true Wicked Witch style.
55	* {{Expy}}: Wolfgang for Van Helsing. A witch hunter of particular fame.
56	* TheFaceless: Carrie rarely appears on screen which is understandable given that she shares point of view with the player. She lampshades it in ''Slumbering Darkness''.
57	--->'''Carrie:''' I've never thought of myself as photogenic but that's a pretty good photo.
58	* FirstLawOfResurrection: Elisabeth and Morgana, at least one of whom is back at the start of every game ready to cause mayhem in the lives of Carrie and Lynn.
59	* GrandTheftMe: Both Elisabeth and Thetis try to do this to poor Lynn.
60	* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler: Lynn and Edward in ''Slumbering Darkness'']].
61	* HappyEnding: Every game ends this way--only to be subverted in the next one. Making this more:
62	** EarnYourHappyEnding
63	* HeelRealization: Edward and the head witch hunter following their respective {{BSOD}}.
64	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: The head witch hunter in ''The Ties that Bind'' is this being willing to stop at nothing to defeat witches - even good ones like Lynn. [[spoiler: Edward could be this but gets over it very early in the game.]]
65	* HiddenObjectGame: Of the more interactive variety – particularly the later games.
66	* HoneyTrap: [[spoiler: A rarer male example is Edward for Lynn, initially]].
67	* MamaBear: Carrie who will stop at nothing to protect Lynn and, later, [[spoiler:Edward and Abigail]].
68	* MyGreatestFailure: Jonathon Corwin views his inability to stop Elisabeth as this.
69	* NiceGuy: Edward.
70	* NonHumanSidekick: The Imp who sits on the hint button as well as actively participates in the game for certain tasks.
71	* ParentalSubstitute: Carrie, following the deaths of Lynn's parents.
72	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Lynn, in ''The Lair of the Witch Queen'', is determined to make Elisabeth pay for what she did to Lynn's family.
73	* SpellMyNameWithAnS:
74	** Literally with Elizabeth[=/=]Elisabeth.
75	** Kari[=/=]Carrie also applies.
76	* TakenForGranite: Edward is turned into a puppet in ''Slumbering Darkness''. Also the pair of soldiers outside Morgana's palace in the same game are literally turned to stone - one unable to see and one unable to speak.
77	* {{Transflormation}}: What Mathias does to Allie in the bonus chapter of ''Slumbering Darkness''.
