*NiceGuy: While it's not apparent because of their exteriors (Edward acts boyish and boisterous, while Arthur feels like he has a facade to keep up because of his family name), both are friendly and kind people underneath and like spending time with Lynn.

*TaremeEyes: Both Edward and Arthur have wide, circular, gentle eyes that reflect their curiosity and inquisitiveness.
*UpperClassEquestrian: Both the Brightons specialize in horse-riding and have their own individual horses. In the manga, the Brighton brothers were Olympic athletes and partook in horse-racing activities.

* AlphaBitch: Vivian Spencer started out as one, though [[LovableAlphaBitch she softens up later.]]
* AmazingTechnicolorHair: Vivian has purple hair. She's regarded as a very beautiful woman by many, and is often followed around by an adoring GirlPosse that view her as near-ethereal.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: She abused Andrews ''heavily'' while he was in her custody and wanted to put him down when he wasn't useful for her anymore. It's to the point that merely seeing her triggers a panic attack for him.
* CoolBigSis: [[spoiler:Eventually. Lynn looks up to her as an inspiration and is amazed by her horse riding skills.]]
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler: When Vivian fell off her horse and broke her arm, she blamed Lynn for it. However, when it was found out that it was ''Mary'' who cut the reins of her horse to stop her from winning the Lady's Crest, she was furious and gave Mary a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, and declared her friendship with Lynn.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of Sonoko Ichijuuin from the manga, down to the EtTuBrute twist at the end. The main difference is that Sonoko was a fully Japanese student in Japan, while Vivian is a British girl from England.
* GreenEyedMonster: Vivian is initially threatened by Lynn's friendship of her former horse Andrews (given how he was difficult to tame in spite of his great skill), and hates [[spoiler: Lynn even more for having Edward's heart. Hence her willingness to partner up with Mary and throw her under the bus to be the center of attention again]].
* LastMinuteHookup: It's implied that she later got together with Philip Anderson, the captain of the St. Patrick Academy boys' equestrian club who tends to [[LongingLook look at her longingly]].
* ManipulativeBitch: She gets Mathilda and Phyllis to thwart Lynn from winning the Lady's Crest through various means, particularly by antaognizing Andrews. She also offers to mentor Kathy, who beats Lynn for the national qualifier, but Cathy declines.
* RichBitch: The Spencers are wealthy family who have a history of working in the banks, and Vivian is an UpperClassEquestrian with a nasty attitude.
* TheRival: To Lynn, as they're both skilled equestrians that have eyes for Edward. [[spoiler: Mary knows that Vivian is the likeliest to get the Lady's Crest, so she sets her up against Lynn. When Vivian falls off her horse and it's revealed the reins were cut, Lynn is blamed and disqualified (when it was actually Mary who did it). Edward and Arthur put two and two together and tell Vivian that Lynn is innocent. Vivian feels stupid for letting Mary use her, and tells the Principal that Lynn deserves to compete in the tournament. He allows it.]]
* SchoolIdol: She's one of St. Patrick's most successful students and many believe she will win the Lady's Crest.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: After finding out Mary's plan, she asks her father to help the Russells, and provides proof Mary sabotaged her. Mr. Spencer talks to Mr. Reynolds and tells him what happened. Disgusted by his niece, he decides to help the Russells...as long as Lynn wins the race]].
* UpperClassEquestrian: Vivian is the star student of St. Patrick's academy and a skilled equestrian. The Spencers are also an extremely well-off family.

*AbusiveParents: He doesn't hit Vivian, but he's certainly very dismissive to her. One has to wonder if her attitude towards being the best is a result of his parenting.
*FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears glasses and is preoccupied with his work rather than Vivian's concerns. When she tells him [[spoiler:what Mary did]], he ignorres her as if she's a distraction to him.

* DoubleInLawMarriage: [[spoiler: Sarah ends up with Arthur and Edward ends up with Lynn, the latter even having a pair of twins in the sequel manga]].
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Compared to Arthur, who is polite and down-to-earth, Edward is reckless, hot-tempered, and often lets his emotions get the better of him.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Both Arthur and Edward have blonde hair and do their best to help Lynn and Sarah navigate life in the Marble Mansion with George's departure. When Lynn ran away from home for the first time, Arthur brought her back and carried her as she was knocked out, and when Lynn was beung bullied, Edward stood up for her and tried to get them punished. They both remained friends with the Russells in adulthood [[spoiler: as Lynn married Edward and Sarah married Arthur]].
* RedOniBlueOni: In a similar vein to Lynn and Sarah, the younger Brighton sibling is louder and passionate, while the older one is more reserved and polite.
* ShipTease:
** Lynn/Edward: Edward affectionate Lynn a "shrimp", and a lot of his teasing is in an tender manner. He is very protective of Lynn and hates people that bully her, to the point he [[spoiler:punched Arthur for bringing Mary as a date to the ball (not knowing that he was blackmailed)]]. Edward also tends to be very klutzy around Lynn, as if he's distracted by her presence. Lynn also frequently blushes around Edward and has {{Imagine Spot}}s of him. [[spoiler: By the end of the anime, this is canon, and the sequel manga reveals that Lynn and Edward had children]].
** Lynn/Arthur: Lynn has a PrecociousCrush on Arthur and often dreams of him. In the OP of ''Hello! Lady Lynn!'', Arthur appears, riding his horse, and picks up Lynn. Also, after Mary and Thomas bully Lynn and throw water all over her stuffed rabbit, she cries in Alexandra's stable, and when she sees Arthur and Edward, she calls Arthur's name as she runs into his arms.

Lynn accepts this, and moves on to pursue [[spoiler:Edward]].
** Sarah/Arthur: Arthur was Sarah's OnlyFriend for years, and when she sees Lynn hanging out with him she becomes instantly envious. She wishes to spend time with him, but can't because of her condition. This doesn't stop Arthur from going to the Russell's house and paying her visits from time to time. In the GrandFinale, Sarah stares at a pool and thinks of Arthur. [[spoiler: Just then, Arthur appears and tells her he's always loved her]].
* RacistGrandpa: In the sequel manga, it's revealed that the boys have an aunt from America who dislikes Lynn because of her Japanese origins.
* ShipperOnDeck: Arthur ships Lynn/Edward, whike Edward ships Arthur/Sarah, [[spoiler:being very happy for them once they're an OfficialCouple]].

Lynn later discovers that Arthur has feelings for [[spoiler:Sarah]], and accepts them, instead going for his little brother Edward.
** Exploited by Mary in one episode. She knows Sarah has feelings for Arthur, and tries to turn her against Lynn by insinuating that he'll leave her for Lynn. By then Sarah has gotten over being an InsecureLoveInterest (and knows Arthur doesn't like her), so it doesn't work.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Both boys have blonde hair and blue eyes (though Arthur's hair is a lighter shade than his brother's), and their aunt is a blonde too.

* AdaptationalHairstyleChange: In the sequel manga, he doesn't have curly hair and broad shoulders. Though to be fair, it takes place twenty years after the end of the second series, so it's natural that his physique would change.

* HeyYou: Edward calls Lynn a "shrimp" more often than not, since she's so small.

* IllGirl: Due to her age, she has an illness, and Lynn is shocked with worry when she sees her collapse.

[[quoteright:563:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/soph.jpg]]
* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: Sophie is subject to constant emotional abuse by her mother and used as a tool for her manipulation towards Isabelle. She often calls her insults and uses a harsh voice whenever talking to her, and it's clear she doesn't love her like a proper mother should.]]
* AnimalCompanion: Sophie has a pet squirrel named Leonard. He functions as her MoralityChain and encourages her to break away from her [[spoiler: abusive mom's influence]].
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She pretends to be sweet and naive on the outside, but actually wants to disgrace Lynn (as per the Countess' orders) to get her hands on her inheritance. Thankfully, she befriends Lynn and decides not to do it.
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: Jeanne's abuse has Sophie constantly on the verge of tears, or reduced to tears in some cases. She also breaks down when she tells the truth of her mother to Isabelle]].
* DisappearedDad: Her father is never seen in the anime. His disappearance is possibly why [[spoiler: her mother is desperate to sieze the Russell's assets - she must have taken a ''huge'' hit financially after the death of her husband]].
* DragonWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler: While Jeanne's agenda is to make sure she secures Isabelle's inheritance, Sophie's agenda is to make sure she doesn't get sent back to BoardingSchool and lives happily with the Montgomeries]].
* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler:Despite what her mother told her, Sophie has doubts about harming Lynn because of her genial personality and openness. She even feels bad about trying to cut open one of her horse's saddles, and decides not to do it after thinking about Lynn's sweet face being kind to her]].
* GoneHorriblyRight: In one episode, to disqualify Lynn from the Olympic race, Sophie scares Andrews with a squirrel while the Headmaster is watching. To her surprise, Lynn manages to tame him and get him under control. The headmaster is very impressed by Lynn.
* GreenAndMean: She wears a green dress and a yellow bow, and [[spoiler: is secretly scheming against the Russells. However, she ultimately decides not to do it and becomes a friend of Lynn in the end.]]
* LonelyDollGirl: Sophie often cuddles with a doll given to her by [[spoiler: her abusive mother]]. At a close up, it's very cleepy and unlifelike.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In Paul's birthday episode, Sophie spends the entire party being hoity-toity to Lynn and insinuating she's dirty. Paul is finally sick of her behaviour and blurts out that he didn't want to invite her, but he did so at Lynn's request. Sophie is aghast to hear this and runs off in tears.
* RegalRinglets: Sophie's are voluminous and coily, and held by a hair bow.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: Mary blackmails Lynn by saying she has to withdraw from the tournament, or therwise, she'll make sure her grandfather doesn't grant George the loan needed to buy back the Marble mansion. Lynn wants to put Sarah and George's wellbeing first so she agrees. She tells this to Sophie and asks her to keep it a secret, but Sophie can't bear to see Lynn suffer in silence so she tells everyne. Edward encourages Lynn to go forward with her dreams and they all work together to expose Mary]].
* [[WellDoneSonGuy Well Done Daughter Girl]]: [[spoiler: Sophie has SEVERE issues with her mother Jeanne, who tries to use her as a pawn to inherit the Montgomery fortune and threatens to send her back to her boarding school in France if she doesn't play along, whereas Sophie only wants her mom's love and approval.]]

Though, she later realizes that she's been horrible, and in the GrandFinale of the show, Jeanne and Sophie are seen hugging as they watch Lynn win the race]].
* BeautyIsBad:[[spoiler: She is undeniably a gorgeous woman with a striking face and gossamer hair, just as she is undeniably an emotionally abusive mother who frequently drives her daughters to tears and blames her for the family's issues.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She presents herself as a sweet ProperLady to Isabelle and the Russels. Her true intentions are far viler. [[spoiler: She's a manipulative child abuser who doesn't care about her daughter. Even Madeleine never stooped that low, though she was a terrible parent in other ways.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of Madeleine. Both are single mothers with horrible children that antagonize Lynn. But while Sophie eventually made amends with Lynn, Mary continued to belittle and abuse her [[spoiler:long after George broke off his engagement to Madeleine]].
* GoldDigger: [[spoiler: She seeks Lynn's inheritance, and puts up Sophia to subject her to MaliciousSlander. She hoped that if Sophie disgraced Lynn in front of Isabelle, she would reject the girl and use her influence to hand over the Russell's estate to her.]]
* {{Ojou}}: She is very posh, dresses exquisitely, descends from a wealthy family and favours spending time with her fellow elites. She also travels by limousine, and has a valet open doors for her.
* ManipulativeBitch: [[spoiler: Jeanne explicitly ordered Sophie to debase Lynn in front of the Russells and reacted with anger when she said she didn't want to. She used the fear Sophie had of being sent back to her French boarding school to keep her in place, and gave her further instructions on how to trick the Russells.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: After Sophie cried from all the pressure and told Isabelle what was happening, Jeanne was ashamed of herself. It was to the point that she couldn't bring herself to face Sophie in person and gifted her things from afar. When Lynn and Sophie were at the stable where Andrews was born, Sophie received a beautiful mare named Florence from an anonymous gifter - it turns out this gifter was Jeanne.]]
* ProperLady: On the outside, she's a very refined and polite lady. [[spoiler: And that's where it ends, because her personality is nothing proper or ladylike]].
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: [[spoiler: Jeanne is a unnervingly realistic depiction of an emotionally AbusiveMom. She withholds affection from her daughter, uses her as a therapist that she often takes out her anger on, and sets her up as a pawn against people she dislikes. When Sophie asks an innocent question or speaks back to her, Jeanne scolds her until she gives in. Sophie is constantly reduced to tears whenever she's thinking about her. On top of that, she's a ManipulativeBitch who knows Sophie's biggest fear is being sent back to her boading school where she'll be lonely, and threatens her with it to keep her in line.]]

* AdaptationalHairstyleChange: In the sequel manga, he doesn't have curly hair and broad shoulders. Though to be fair, it takes place twenty years after the end of the second series, so it's natural that his physique would change.

* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler: In the sequel manga, Lynn and Edward have twin children, George and Diana. They are the spitting image of their parents, and the plot revolves around them visiting Japan for a short while to learn of their Japanese heritage]].
* BrattyHalfPint: He tends to act high and mighty at times, and often speaks in a way not befitting to a boy from the House of Earls of Brighton.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rude and hot tempered, but has a good heart and is protective over Lynn.
* HeyYou: Edward calls Lynn a "shrimp" more often than not, since she's so small.
* LoveMakesYouStupid: In an attempt to impress Lynn, Edward trains so much he ends up straining his muscles and needing to go to the hospital. Arthur is impressed, but tells him to take it slow next time.
* ObliviousToLove: He has no idea of Vivian's feelings for him, and only has eyes for Lynn.
* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Sometimes he wears a plain white shirt with a Union Jack on it.

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: Sophie is subject to constant emotional abuse by her mother and used as a tool for her manipulation towards Isabelle. She often calls her insults and uses a harsh voice whenever talking to her, and it's clear she doesn't love her like a proper mother should.]]
* AnimalCompanion: Sophie has a pet squirrel named Leonard. He functions as her MoralityChain and encourages her to break away from her [[spoiler: abusive mom's influence]].
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She pretends to be sweet and naive on the outside, but actually wants to disgrace Lynn (as per the Countess' orders) to get her hands on her inheritance. Thankfully, she befriends Lynn and decides not to do it.
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: Jeanne's abuse has Sophie constantly on the verge of tears, or reduced to tears in some cases. She also breaks down when she tells the truth of her mother to Isabelle]].
* DisappearedDad: Her father is never seen in the anime. His disappearance is possibly why [[spoiler: her mother is desperate to sieze the Russell's assets - she must have taken a ''huge'' hit financially after the death of her husband]].
* DragonWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler: While Jeanne's agenda is to make sure she secures Isabelle's inheritance, Sophie's agenda is to make sure she doesn't get sent back to BoardingSchool and lives happily with the Montgomeries]].
* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler:Despite what her mother told her, Sophie has doubts about harming Lynn because of her genial personality and openness. She even feels bad about trying to cut open one of her horse's saddles, and decides not to do it after thinking about Lynn's sweet face being kind to her]].
* GoneHorriblyRight: In one episode, to disqualify Lynn from the Olympic race, Sophie scares Andrews with a squirrel while the Headmaster is watching. To her surprise, Lynn manages to tame him and get him under control. The headmaster is very impressed by Lynn.

* LonelyDollGirl: Sophie often cuddles with a doll given to her by [[spoiler: her abusive mother]]. At a close up, it's very cleepy and unlifelike.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In Paul's birthday episode, Sophie spends the entire party being hoity-toity to Lynn and insinuating she's dirty. Paul is finally sick of her behaviour and blurts out that he didn't want to invite her, but he did so at Lynn's request. Sophie is aghast to hear this and runs off in tears.
* RegalRinglets: Sophie's are voluminous and coily, and held by a hair bow.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: Mary blackmails Lynn by saying she has to withdraw from the tournament, or therwise, she'll make sure her grandfather doesn't grant George the loan needed to buy back the Marble mansion. Lynn wants to put Sarah and George's wellbeing first so she agrees. She tells this to Sophie and asks her to keep it a secret, but Sophie can't bear to see Lynn suffer in silence so she tells everyne. Edward encourages Lynn to go forward with her dreams and they all work together to expose Mary]].
* [[WellDoneSonGuy Well Done Daughter Girl]]: [[spoiler: Sophie has SEVERE issues with her mother Jeanne, who tries to use her as a pawn to inherit the Montgomery fortune and threatens to send her back to her boarding school in France if she doesn't play along, whereas Sophie only wants her mom's love and approval.]]

[[quoteright:562:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jeane.png]]
* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: She frequently screams at and berates her daughter, and threatens to send her back to France if she doesn't play along with her plan to usurp the Russells. Though, she later realizes that she's been horrible, and in the GrandFinale of the show, Jeanne and Sophie are seen hugging as they watch Lynn win the race]].
* BeautyIsBad:[[spoiler: She is undeniably a gorgeous woman with a striking face and gossamer hair, just as she is undeniably an emotionally abusive mother who frequently drives her daughters to tears and blames her for the family's issues.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She presents herself as a sweet ProperLady to Isabelle and the Russels. Her true intentions are far viler. [[spoiler: She's a manipulative child abuser who doesn't care about her daughter. Even Madeleine never stooped that low, though she was a terrible parent in other ways.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of Madeleine. Both are single mothers with horrible children that antagonize Lynn. But while Sophie eventually made amends with Lynn, Mary continued to belittle and abuse her [[spoiler:long after George broke off his engagement to Madeleine]].
* GoldDigger: [[spoiler: She seeks Lynn's inheritance, and puts up Sophia to subject her to MaliciousSlander. She hoped that if Sophie disgraced Lynn in front of Isabelle, she would reject the girl and use her influence to hand over the Russell's estate to her.]]
* {{Ojou}}: She is very posh, dresses exquisitely, descends from a wealthy family and favours spending time with her fellow elites. She also travels by limousine, and has a valet open doors for her.
* ManipulativeBitch: [[spoiler: Jeanne explicitly ordered Sophie to debase Lynn in front of the Russells and reacted with anger when she said she didn't want to. She used the fear Sophie had of being sent back to her French boarding school to keep her in place, and gave her further instructions on how to trick the Russells.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: After Sophie cried from all the pressure and told Isabelle what was happening, Jeanne was ashamed of herself. It was to the point that she couldn't bring herself to face Sophie in person and gifted her things from afar. When Lynn and Sophie were at the stable where Andrews was born, Sophie received a beautiful mare named Florence from an anonymous gifter - it turns out this gifter was Jeanne.]]
* ProperLady: On the outside, she's a very refined and polite lady. [[spoiler: And that's where it ends, because her personality is nothing proper or ladylike]].
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: [[spoiler: Jeanne is a unnervingly realistic depiction of an emotionally AbusiveMom. She withholds affection from her daughter, uses her as a therapist that she often takes out her anger on, and sets her up as a pawn against people she dislikes. When Sophie asks an innocent question or speaks back to her, Jeanne scolds her until she gives in. Sophie is constantly reduced to tears whenever she's thinking about her. On top of that, she's a ManipulativeBitch who knows Sophie's biggest fear is being sent back to her boading school where she'll be lonely, and threatens her with it to keep her in line.]]

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: He's a cute fluffy squirrel with big blue eyes.
