- Foil: The royal family of the Kingdom of Diamonds and the Fairy Tail Court is kind and fair to its people. The royal family of the Kingdom of Hearts on the other hand rules with an iron fist.
- For the Evulz: Both Princess Ultear and Prince Lyon seem to thrive on this.
- God Save Us from the Queen!: What the people of the Heart Kingdom hope will eventually happen.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Although she seems to have different levels to her rage, it doesn’t seem to take much to get Queen Ur angry. Sadly, when she is mad she would take it out on the poor little servant girl, Lucy.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Ultear's Space-perspective manipulation can make things that are close seem far away. She even can use it to torture people, as she does with Earthland Lucy. However, this comes back to bite her during a battle in which she is engaged with Lucy's spirits.

He can’t visit his friend, Prince Natsu anymore because his mother cut diplomatic ties with the Kingdom of Diamonds. When he tried to be one with the servant girl Lucy his mother would beat her. So, he was forced to stop interacting with her so she wouldn’t get hurt.
- I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure: Every time Jellal failed to summon the artifact that Ur wants so badly she would take her frustration out on his sister, Lucy.
- Identical Stranger: Natsu and Lucy are subjected to this and are believed to be impostors by the civilian populace. Being that their Wonderland counterparts are the Prince and top knight of the Kingdom of Diamonds, they kind of stick out.
- Irony: Its rather ironic that the Kingdom of Diamonds is in a near permanent cold climate but is ruled by a benevolent ruler. While the Kingdom of Hearts is set in a warmer climate while being ruled by a cold bitter queen with the ‘temperament of a child’.
- Irrational Hatred: It would appear that Wonderland Ultear really hates Lucy Heart. She didn't mind in the slightest that when Lucy was a servant her mother would beat her. Upon meeting Earthland Lucy, Ultear says her name with disdain. Why? No reason is given yet. However, given the only know way the two could have interacted was when Lucy was a obedient servant girl, there isn't much reason to hate her. stellahr reveals that Ultear is aware that Lucy Heart is the real princess of the Heart Kingdom so that may play a part in her hate.
- Queen Ur also hates Lucy Heart given all the beatings she gave her when Lucy was a child.
- Kangaroo Court: Although the top authorities are aware that Natsu and Lucy are from another world they planned to subject them to this for the crime of impersonating the Prince and a knight. They mean no ill will, they just need to do something to quell the civilian population due to rumors that the Kingdom of Hearts might attack. If the trial had happened it would be unlikely anything bad would have happened to the two. In fact, Knight Erza seemed hopeful that they would assist in a possible war.
- Kick the Dog: If she is mad, for any reason, Queen Ur seemed to always take it out on the servant, Lucy. One beating was so bad she left the little girl bleeding.
- Kill Itwith Fire:
- When the servant girl Lucy Heart is told that Queen Ur is going to kill her she runs into a forest to get away. The Queen responds by burning the forest down. If it hadn’t been for Erza she may have very well died.
- Knight Erza is very worried that Prince Lyon will do this to her tree. Justified in that as a Dryad, her lifeforce is connected to it.
- Knight in Shining Armor: Knight Lucy Heart is devoted to her duty to protect the royal family and the people of the Kingdom of Diamonds. She even shuns her feelings for the Prince, believing her station would not allow her to be with him. Taken literally with her armor glowing.
- Lady and Knight: An inversion to this trope as in that Knight Lucy and Prince Natsu fall under it.
- Let's Split Up, Gang!: When the Heart Kingdom attacks, Knight Lucy quickly makes this decision. She places Prince Natsu under Earthland Lucy's protection to escape while she and Earthland Natsu go looking for the King.
- Liar Revealed: Gray’s second conversation with Jellal has it revealed to him that he is living a lie crafted by his mother and that he and the rest of his family are not really royalty.
- Living MacGuffin: The whole reason the Heart Kingdom attacked the Diamond Kingdom was so Queen Ur could get her hands on Lucy Heart because she needs her power, along with her brother's, to summon an artifact called the Specter of Light. Earthland Lucy is also needed and she plans to use Gemini to help the process.
- Lonely Rich Kid: In this case a lonely prince, Wonderland Gray’s older siblings won’t play with him. His best friend is another prince from another kingdom that his mother cut diplomatic ties with. The only other kid his age in his younger days was a servant girl that his mother hated and would beat often. One such beating happening when he was playing hide and seek with her. So, Gray stopped playing with her so she wouldn’t get hurt as often.
- Long-Lost Relative: Lucy Heart finds out that she has an older brother, among other things.
- Losing Your Head: In her first encounter with him, Lucy is quite disturbed when Wonderland Happy’s head falls of his body and continues to talk as it rolls around on the ground. Then he puts it back on. Backwards.
- Love Hurts: Lucy Heart has a slight cynical view of love. Being that she is in love with Natsu Diamond but she is a knight and he is the prince. She scoffs at people find it romantic over the rumors that Queen Juvia is in love with Prince Gray. The fact that the Heart Kingdom isn’t friendly with the other kingdoms just makes Lucy see it as a relationship that can’t happen and just reminds her of her own pain.
- Made a Slave: Lucy Heart had a spell placed on her blocking her memories, then Queen Ur turned her into a servant that she beat often. Pretty much a slave.
- Manipulative Bastard: Ur has used some kind of spell that has everyone believing that she and her family are the rulers of the Heart Kingdom. While the real remaining royal family members are either a prisoner who is constantly tortured, or a servant who is under the spell. When her son, Gray, finds out the truth he is not happy.

- Averted with Princess Ultear who is at least aware that she isn't Lucy Heart thanks to a spy.

King Igneel questions her treatment of his son, where she held back his progress and not believing in him due to her concern over his condition, as Wonderland Natsu is being beaten by Wonderland Erza. Queen Ur states that her brother has suffered because she ran away. And Wonderland Jellal questions why she left him behind even though she didn't even know about him until recently.
- All of the protagonist go through this but because Earthland Lucy was able to break from hers so easily she is able to go to each person's dream and help break them out of their nightmare and bring the inflicted with them to the next person.
- No Sense of Personal Space: Earthland Natsu sees no problem in following Wonderland Lucy into her room. She stops him from doing so stating how improper it would be as she is going to be changing. To which Natsu tells her he has seen his Lucy naked plenty of times. She promptly slams the door in his face and is left quite flustered.

- Parental Favoritism: Ultear is Ur’s favorite, much to Lyon's dismay.
- Plant Person: In a sense, being a tree spirit makes Erza one.
- Protectorate: Knight Lucy is the sworn bodyguard of Prince Natsu. Being in love with him is probably a good motivation.
- Rebel Prince: Gray’s first act of rebellion is to sneak into his mother's off-limits room to visit the prisoner Jellal to talk to him and give him food. He sends Lucy away so his mother can’t kill her. By far his biggest is spending years plotting with Jellal to bring down his own mother.

- Shoo the Dog: Upon seeing that his mother is mad enough that she might kill Lucy, Gray sends her away. Freeing her of future torment.
- Shoot the Messenger: You're lead to believe this happened when Earthland Lucy and Prince Natsu see a messenger enter a room and overhear him delivering bad news to Queen Ur. They hear him plead for mercy before something hits the floor. Given the Queen's temper it is easy to believe she killed him. Upon entering said room soon afterwards, he is found lying unconscious on the ground.
- Sibling Rivalry: Between Ur’s children. More so with Lyon than anything and far less with Gray.

- Unique Protagonist Asset: Being able to summon other beings is unheard of in Wonderland. Making Lucy's celestial magic and spirits especially unique.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: Prince Lyon really wants his mother to acknowledge him.
- White Sheep: Compared to the rest of his family, Prince Gray is an absolute saint. He believes royalty should treat their subjects kindly. Where as his sister is content with their mother abusing one of their servants regularly. When he finds out his mother’s secret, he takes food to the prisoner, Jellal, and keeps him up to date on his sister’s well-being. He sends the servant girl Lucy away at the risk of suffering his mother’s wrath, so she wouldn’t be killed.

- Would Hurt a Child: Queen Ur has zero qualms about beating the young Lucy Heart.
