[[quoteright:753:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jeudi.png]]
[[caption-width-right:753:Jeudi, Printemps, Lundi]]
* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler: The sequel novel ''Emerald Nocturne'' focuses on the aftermath of the characters after the events of the anime. There, it's revealed that Jeudi is pregnant with Lundi's child.]]
* BoyMeetsGirl: Boy finds amnesiac girl. Boy takes her home, and they become childhood friends, and then lovers. A NaziNobleman enters Switzerland and takes the girl away from him. Boy rescues the girl, and then they flee the country where they're unfortunately separated again. When they're finally together, they work with their newfound allies to resist the Nazis and work with LaResistance
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Jeudi and Lundi have been in love ever since they were children, and are already dating by the first episode.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan:
** Jeudi's parents died in the accident that left her amnesiac. [[spoiler: They didn't, they actually are alive and living in Switzerland]].
** Lundi's parents are also deceased (and outright AdaptedOut in the anime).
* CountryMouse: Both Jeudi and Lundi grew up in the Alps and have never stepped foot outside of rural Switzerland before. When she arrives to Austria and finds herself in Leonhardt Aschenbach's BigFancyHouse, everything, from the family portraits on the walls, to the vases, to the cutlery and furniture, fascinate her. Lundi is also very close to nature and fashions flutes out of his own carvings, being surprised at the sight of pianos and other instruments.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Both Jeudi and Lundi tend to have this, such as Jeudi willingly putting herself in debt so [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Clara]] can pay for her medical treatment and Lundi risking his life to help Johan dispose of the train bomb.
* GratuitousFrench: It's in the lead characters' names, as both of the protagonists are named after days of the week in French: "Lundi" is Monday and "Jeudi" is Thursday. The bird, Printemps, means "spring" (as in the season) in French.
* GrowOldWithMe: [[spoiler: Jeudi and Lundi eventually got married, had children, and lived happily ever after for the rest of their lives]].
* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler: In the DistantFinale, Jeudi and Lundi are married in October 1945; Leonhardt, Clara, Martha, Jean-Jacques and all their other friends are invited to the wedding.]]
* HeartwarmingOrphan:
** Jeudi's an amnesiac orphan with a heart of gold. When Hans betrays her and sells her out to the Nazis, Martha berates him while telling him all the good things Jeudi has done, and he looks ashamed.
** Lundi is also an orphan but lives with his aunt and uncle. He commits himself to helping the weak and defenseless of the Alps, especially the children.
* KidHero: Since the events of the anime take place in 1939, and Jeudi was born in 1926 while Lundi was born in 1925, this means they're 13 and 14 respectively (further confirmed when Jeudi's BirthdayEpisode states her age is 14). At their young ages, they already [[BreakTheCutie witness a lot of injustice]] and do their best to rectify it.
* LadyAndKnight: In the anime OP, Jeudi is seen running across a field in a blue dress and a long veil, while Lundi stares from afar in knight armour on a horse.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Jeudi predominantly wears a pink dress, and Lundi, in the later episodes of the show, wears a blue suit.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Throughout the series, Jeudi receives a lot of male suitors, but goes for Lundi every time. Likewise, Lundi refuses to leave her side because he's loved her ever since he found her in the field of flowers.
* StarCrossedLovers: As things get worse and worse, it seems the Universe itself is conspiring to give Lundi and Jeudi trouble. Specially when [[spoiler: Lundi disappears when the train he and Jeudi have boarded to reach Austria is caught in a bomb attack, and Jeudi has to go to Austria alone.]]

* BadassNormal: He can't hold a gun or use knives, but he's a rough fighter in spite of being a small boy. He stands out in a non-fighting anime for always doing what he thinks it's right and putting himself at great risk to protect Jeudi and others.
* BridalCarry: In Berne, Jeudi is using new shoes. They hurt her feet, so Lundi carries her like this.
* BrainyBrunette: Not booksmart (though not super BookDumb either), but is a very fast thinker. He singlehandedly plans Jeudi's escape from the Count, and helps her move to another country.
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler: Lundi is the Cain to Jean-Jacques' Abel. He is a good-hearted boy who suffers from ChronicHeroSyndrome, while Jean-Jacques was a CreepyChild who scared off his own father, and serves Count de Gormont.]]

** [[spoiler: On another occassion Jeudi almost has a HeroicBSOD when she sees Mathilda kissing Lundi. To be fair, not only Jeudi saw them from a distance so she couldn't exactly see that it was more of a ForcefulKiss ''and'' she was still BSOD'ing after almost being killed.]]
* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: Lundi is an ordinary Swiss boy from the countryside, while Count Gourmant is a wealthy French elite. While Jeudi loves Lundi, she feels no such thing for the cruel Count, and him being a Nazi pedophile who tries to force himself on her doesn't help matters either.
* WhiteStallion: In the OP, Lundi rides this as he's Jeudi's KnightInShiningArmor, [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lundi.png but he actually rides one]] later in the anime to save Jeudi.

[[quoteright:753:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jeudi.png]]
[[caption-width-right:753:Jeudi, Printemps, Lundi]]
* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler: The sequel novel ''Emerald Nocturne'' focuses on the aftermath of the characters after the events of the anime. There, it's revealed that Jeudi is pregnant with Lundi's child.]]
* BoyMeetsGirl: Boy finds amnesiac girl. Boy takes her home, and they become childhood friends, and then lovers. A NaziNobleman enters Switzerland and takes the girl away from him.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Jeudi and Lundi have been in love ever since they were children, and are already dating by the first episode.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan:
** Jeudi's parents died in the accident that left her amnesiac. [[spoiler: They didn't, they actually are alive and living in Switzerland]].
** Lundi's parents are also deceased (and outright AdaptedOut in the anime).
* CountryMouse: Both Jeudi and Lundi grew up in the Alps and have never stepped foot outside of rural Switzerland before. When she arrives to Austria and finds herself in Leonhardt Aschenbach's BigFancyHouse, everything, from the family portraits on the walls, to the vases, to the cutlery and furniture, fascinate her. Lundi is also very close to nature and fashions flutes out of his own carvings, being surprised at the sight of pianos and other instruments.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Both Jeudi and Lundi tend to have this, such as Jeudi willingly putting herself in debt so [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Clara]] can pay for her medical treatment and Lundi risking his life to help Johan dispose of the train bomb.
* GratuitousFrench: It's in the lead characters' names, as both of the protagonists are named after days of the week in French: "Lundi" is Monday and "Jeudi" is Thursday. The bird, Printemps, means "spring" (as in the season) in French.
* GrowOldWithMe: [[spoiler: Jeudi and Lundi eventually got married, had children, and lived happily ever after for the rest of their lives]].

** Lundi is also an orphan but lives with his aunt and uncle. He commits himself to helping the weak and defenseless of the Alps, especially the children.
* KidHero: Since the events of the anime take place in 1939, and Jeudi was born in 1926 while Lundi was born in 1925, this means they're 13 and 14 respectively (further confirmed when Jeudi's BirthdayEpisode states her age is 14). At their young ages, they already [[BreakTheCutie witness a lot of injustice]] and do their best to rectify it.
* LadyAndKnight: In the anime OP, Jeudi is seen running across a field in a blue dress and a long veil, while Lundi stares from afar in knight armour on a horse.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Jeudi predominantly wears a pink dress, and Lundi, in the later episodes of the show, wears a blue suit.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Throughout the series, Jeudi receives a lot of male suitors, but goes for Lundi every time. Likewise, Lundi refuses to leave her side because he's loved her ever since he found her in the field of flowers.
* StarCrossedLovers: As things get worse and worse, it seems the Universe itself is conspiring to give Lundi and Jeudi trouble. Specially when [[spoiler: Lundi disappears when the train he and Jeudi have boarded to reach Austria is caught in a bomb attack, and Jeudi has to go to Austria alone.]]

** [[spoiler: On another occassion Jeudi almost has a HeroicBSOD when she sees Mathilda kissing Lundi. To be fair, not only Jeudi saw them from a distance so she couldn't exactly see that it was more of a ForcefulKiss ''and'' she was still BSOD'ing after almost being killed.]]
* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: Lundi is an ordinary Swiss boy from the countryside, while Count Gourmant is a wealthy French elite. While Jeudi loves Lundi, she feels no such thing for the cruel Count, and him being a Nazi pedophile who tries to force himself on her doesn't help matters either.
