* BlueBlood: They are descended from Duke Warbawn (the title "duke" implies minor nobility, and to ham it in, he owns a castle). George is explicitly stated to be a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscount Viscount]], which is also a title used in certain European countries for a noble of varying status.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Lynn is pink, Sarah is blue, George is green.

Meanwhile, Arthur's little brother Edward has had feelings for Lynn for a long time, and eventually confesses to her. By the end of the manga, Lynn is married to Edward and Arthur is married to Sarah]].]]
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold:
** Lynn inherited her father's golden hair, and is a wonderful human being at her core who loves making friends and caring for traumatized animals.
** Sarah is a DefrostingIceQueen variant. All her life she struggled with a chronic illness that caused her to be aloof from most people (except Arthur), but thanks to Lynn she comes out of her shell and shows a protective side to her. She stands up to Madeleine (who favours Sarah) and stops her from maltreating Lynn, and angrily colds Thomas and Mary for making her cry.
** George is a good person at his center, even if he's not around for his daughters due to his workload. [[spoiler:He refuses to marry Madeleine and clear his debts with her money because it means Lynn will go back to Japan.]]
* ImpoverishedPatrician: [[spoiler: Since George ultimately refused the ArrangedMarriage to Madeleine, which would've cleared his massive debts, Marble Mansion is sold and Sarah goes to live with Duke Warbawn while Lynn goes to live with Countess Montgomery. George is more desperate than ever to get it back and his father is very disappointed in him.]]
* MissingMom: Sarah's mother Frances is implied to have fallen victim to DeathByChildbirth, as she died soon after Sarah was born. And there's Misuzu with Lynn - though unlike Sarah, Lynn actually knew her mother.
* ParentalNeglect: George to Lynn and Sarah. Lynn sorely misses him because he's always at work and rarely ever sees her, and one of the reasons Sarah is so bitter is because she feels like he doesn't love her enough.
* RedOniBlueOni: Sarah is the blue to Lynn's red. She is much more ladylike and composed than her younger sister. This is mirrored in the Brightons, where Arthur is cool and collected, while Edward is more hot-blooded.
* SpoiledSweet: With the exception of Misuzu, all of them came from wealth and are respectful and friendly to their staff, with Lynn helping the Russell's gardener tend to the flowers and Sarah treating the sanitorium workers with gratitude. George also fell for Misuzu despite the fact that she was an ordinary Japanese civilian, choosing to love her in spite of their class differences.
* StrongFamilyResemblance:
** All the Russells have blue eyes and light, cymotrichous blonde hair (though Sarah's is straight, just like her mother's).
** George and Sarah have Duke Warbawn's IcyBlueEyes.
** Sarah is the spitting image of her deceased mother, down to the hair.
** Lynn has her father's hair colour shape. Oddly, she averts this trope with her mother, who she looks nothing like.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: George and his first wife Frances were HappilyMarried, but she died while giving birth to their first daughter Sarah. George then married Misuzu and had Lynn, but the two separated for unknown reasons. A DotingParent to her daughter, Misuzu raised Lynn alone for five years, before she lost her life in a car accident. Lynn absolutely ''breaks'' when she finds out that Misuzu died.

* TheAce: [[spoiler: By the end of the series, she's won the Lady's Crest and also saved the Russells family home, as Reynolds promised to loan her the necessary money provided she win the race]].
* AdaptationalWimp:
** In the manga, Lynn ''slapped'' Mary for shit-talking her father. In the anime this never happens.
** Lynn was prone to attacking Thomas at least once a chapter for being a {{jerkass}}, but in the anime she's more passive in the face of his bullying.
* AnimalCompanion: Lynn has a cat, Queen, and also adopts Prince after Mary maltreats him. She also befriends Leonard the squirrel and [[spoiler:Sophie leaves her with him when she departs from Isabelle's house]].
* AnimeHair: Lynn has twintails, and they're ''bigger than her head''.
* BlitheSpirit: Sarah is surprised by Lynn's optimism and admits she can't disagree with it. Lynn also carries this attitude towards her school and it's infectious to many of her classmates.
* BreakTheCutie: So many times. She doesn't take Misuzu's death well, and is also heartbroken that Sarah initially wants nothing to do with her. She endures constant humiliations and abuses in her new life in Britain, and at one point contemplates going back to Japan, had her friends not stood by her. In the second series, she's more strong-willed and persistent, and despite having her moments of weakness, vows to stray strong in the face of aggression.
* ButNotTooBlack: She doesn't look a single bit Japanese at all. Not that this stops her grandfather from discriminating against her.
* CheerfulChild: Lynn is upbeat and optimistic, and manages to face some fairly traumatizing events (death of her mother, Madeleine's abuse) with her head high.
* ChildOfTwoWorlds: She has a Japanese mother and an English father. She was raised in Japan for most of her life and was in for a culture shock once she came to Britain.

* ChildrenAreInnocent: She knows she's hated by most people around her, either for her heritage or because she represents something they dislike, but still works to get their approval and be their friend. Case in point: she thought that she could make Sarah like her if she gave her a present, and decided to pluck the flowers she saw in the neighbouring forest to impress her. Unfortunately, that same day a rainstorm occurs and poor Lynn is knocked unconscious. Luckily, Edward saves her, brings her back to the Marble Mansion, and Sarah is taken back by what Lynn did for her.
* CrushBlush: Lynn gets one at Baron William Gruffudd, her horse-riding teacher, after he praises her horse-riding talents. EveryoneCanSeeIt, making her all the more bashful.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Apart from her AnimalCompanion horse, Lynn also befriends a cat, birds and rabbits.
* GenkiGirl: Lynn is always positive and cheery, in contrast to Sarah who's glum.

Lynn then ran away bawling.
* GirlishPigtails: She has two large poofy ones, fitting her young and adorable demeanor.
* GracefulLoser: Lynn is this to Cathy. When both girls compete for the National Qualifier, they end up with the same amount of points, and a jury is set to decide who's the winner. They decide it is Cathy, while Lynn is her backup. Lynn isn't upset at this and congratulates Cathy on her win. [[spoiler: When the girls hold a second qualifier race, Lynn finishes first while she's on Andrew's back, and Cathy and her friends follow this trope towards Lynn]].
* {{Hallucinations}}: When Lynn is out cold from the winter blizzard, she imagines that she is fighting a witch. She realizes it was all a dream when Alexandra, Edward and Arthur wake her.
* HereditaryWeddingDress: In Chapter 17 of the manga, while Lynn is staying with her maternal grandparents, they give her Misuzu's FairytaleWeddingDress. Lynn tries it on, and it amazed at how pretty it is. Misuzu's mother explains that they never accepted their daughter's marriage to George, and they regret it to this very day, so the two got married in a small church where they were the only attendees. The dress is a TragicKeepsake since Misuzu is now deceased.
* KindHeartedCatLover: One of her many friends is a kitten with light beige fur and blue eyes, named Prince.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: George refuses to fully explain Misuzu's death to Lynn at first, as he believes it'll hurt her way too much. As said above, this doesn't last too long. [[spoiler: And in a KickTheDog moment, the ones who tell Lynn that her dear mom is dead... are Madeleine and her kids. (More like they drop the bomb on her not knowing that she's in the dark about it, then the kids start mocking her until a rather tearful Sarah explains what happened in a much gentler manner.)]]
* InconsistentColoring: Lynn's eyes are green on the manga cover, but in the anime, they appear red, pink and brown at several different points.
* MeetCute: Sort of. Lynn was searching for flowers and got lost, then [[DynamicEntry she saw Edward fall off his horse and on a bush near her.]] With Arthur following soon after.
* PassionateSportsGirl: Lynn decides to become a horseback rider and works hard for it. She also meets some of these in her way to sport stardom, mainly other riders and tennis players.
* PinkIsFeminine: Most of Lynn's clothes, be they overalls or ballgowns, are pink. Though, she also tends to favour red.
* ThePollyanna: Lynn tries to keep her head on her shoulders after the death of her mother, even if it's very hard, and will accept any sliver of friendship and kindness.
* ShipperOnDeck: She can see that Sarah likes Arthur, and wholeheartedly ships it, even having an ImagineSpot of them dancing while he wears a suit and she wears a ballgown. Sarah was once envious that Arthur liked Lynn more than her, but this was untrue.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the manga, Sarah was even meaner to Lynn and declared that she hated crybabies when Lynn cried into her arms after hearing about Misuzu's death.

* DelicateAndSickly: Her constitution isn't the best, and at one point she fainted to the point of needing to be sent to a sanatorium. [[spoiler: This also plays into one of the reasons Duke Warbawn wants George to marry Madeleine - with her, he can at least ensure a proper heir for the Russells.]]

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Wears her hair in pigtails later in the series, as if to match with Lynn.

* SignificantWardrobeShift: During TheBigRace, she wears pink instead of her usual blue - a.k.a, Lynn's colour.

[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oendant.png]]
[[caption-width-right:1000:From left to right: George, Lynn, Sarah]]
* BlueBlood: They are descended from Duke Warbawn (the title "duke" implies minor nobility, and to ham it in, he owns a castle).

* ColorCodedCharacters: Lynn is pink, Sarah is blue, George is green.

* DoubleInLawMarriage: [[spoiler:Both Sarah and Lynn like Arthur.

Meanwhile, Arthur's little brother Edward has had feelings for Lynn for a long time, and eventually confesses to her. By the end of the manga, Lynn is married to Edward and Arthur is married to Sarah]].]]
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold:
** Lynn inherited her father's golden hair, and is a wonderful human being at her core who loves making friends and caring for traumatized animals.
** Sarah is a DefrostingIceQueen variant. All her life she struggled with a chronic illness that caused her to be aloof from most people (except Arthur), but thanks to Lynn she comes out of her shell and shows a protective side to her. She stands up to Madeleine (who favours Sarah) and stops her from maltreating Lynn, and angrily colds Thomas and Mary for making her cry.
** George is a good person at his center, even if he's not around for his daughters due to his workload. [[spoiler:He refuses to marry Madeleine and clear his debts with her money because it means Lynn will go back to Japan.]]
* ImpoverishedPatrician: [[spoiler: Since George ultimately refused the ArrangedMarriage to Madeleine, which would've cleared his massive debts, Marble Mansion is sold and Sarah goes to live with Duke Warbawn while Lynn goes to live with Countess Montgomery. George is more desperate than ever to get it back and his father is very disappointed in him.]]
* MissingMom: Sarah's mother Frances is implied to have fallen victim to DeathByChildbirth, as she died soon after Sarah was born. And there's Misuzu with Lynn - though unlike Sarah, Lynn actually knew her mother.
* ParentalNeglect: George to Lynn and Sarah. Lynn sorely misses him because he's always at work and rarely ever sees her, and one of the reasons Sarah is so bitter is because she feels like he doesn't love her enough.
* RedOniBlueOni: Sarah is the blue to Lynn's red. She is much more ladylike and composed than her younger sister. This is mirrored in the Brightons, where Arthur is cool and collected, while Edward is more hot-blooded.
* SpoiledSweet: With the exception of Misuzu, all of them came from wealth and are respectful and friendly to their staff, with Lynn helping the Russell's gardener tend to the flowers and Sarah treating the sanitorium workers with gratitude. George also fell for Misuzu despite the fact that she was an ordinary Japanese civilian, choosing to love her in spite of their class differences.
* StrongFamilyResemblance:
** All the Russells have blue eyes and light, cymotrichous blonde hair (though Sarah's is straight, just like her mother's).
** George and Sarah have Duke Warbawn's IcyBlueEyes.
** Sarah is the spitting image of her deceased mother, down to the hair.
** Lynn has her father's hair colour shape. Oddly, she averts this trope with her mother, who she looks nothing like.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: George and his first wife Frances were HappilyMarried, but she died while giving birth to their first daughter Sarah. George then married Misuzu and had Lynn, but the two separated for unknown reasons. A DotingParent to her daughter, Misuzu raised Lynn alone for five years, before she lost her life in a car accident. Lynn absolutely ''breaks'' when she finds out that Misuzu died.
