*BlitheSpirit: To Alois.
* ABoyAndHisX: A Belgian boy and his Bouvier des Flanders dog.
*CheerfulChild: He knows his life is hard, but believes he can change his fate if he works hard enough.
* DubNameChange:
** Nello was '''Niklaas''' in the German dub.
**He was named '''Fadi''' in the Arabic dub.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Nello has blonde hair and attracts people with his kindness despite his own tragedies in life, from rescuing George's brother Paul from drowning, to wanting to adopt Patrasche when he saw him being abused by Ensor.
*HeartwarmingOrphan: Ellina Cozets and their family butler are touched by Nello's free-spiritedness, friendship to Alois and drive for working hard. They welcome him as a friend, but Baas Cozets views him as a "pauper".

Nello's best friend and the daughter of friend, a sweet, cheerful girl from a wealthy landowner. family and a heart of gold. She was born and raised in wealth, but doesn't let this affect how she views and treats people. She loves Nello's drawings and often asks him to draw for her. She wants her father to understand that Nello is a hard working boy and let him be friends, but he refuses and forbids her from seeing Nello.


Added DiffLines:

* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: A downplayed example. In one episode, Nello, Georges and Paul visit Alois, but when they knock the door, Alois' butler informs them that Alois doesn't want Nello to see her when she's DelicateAndSickly. She does, however, ask that he give her a drawing, because they're a source of joy for her, and Nello obliges and draws a beautiful landscape with flowers and a windmill. Even the butler is impressed and when he shows it to Alois, she loves it.
* CultureEqualsCostume: Subverted. Alois is Belgian, but her dress and headpiece are clearly Dutch. This is mainly because the showrunners got the Netherlands and Belgium conflated when doing research for the story.
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Friendship example. Alois and Nello are best friends, but her father thinks it is embaressing for the daughter of the richest man in town to hang out with a "pauper", and the two get into arguements over it. Alois' father even threatens to send her out of the country if she doesn't listen to him.
* DubNameChange:
** Alois was '''Aneka''' in the German dub.
** Alois was '''Hala''' in the Arabic dub.
* SpoiledSweet: Despite being from a wealthy family Alois holds no snobbery towards Nello or the rest of the townsfolk; ironically it is her father who, despite being [[RagsToRiches born poor]], detests Nello and demands his daughter stay away from him.
* UptownGirl: Alois is far more well off than Nello and the rest of the town, but she loves him anyway and considers him her best friend.
