!!Tropes in this work:

* ArcWords: “I don’t want to be a bird, if I cannot choose who flies beside me.”
* BodyHorror: The feathers that the captured girls grow are very grotesque, to the point where they don’t even look human anymore.
* [[spoiler: DisproportionateRetribution:]] The entire reason for the plot. [[spoiler: Everything the Mistress does is to get revenge on her former lover and sister, who had an affair.]]
* DreamingOfTimesGoneBy: Elizabeth’s dreams of Alice seem to take place in an old-fashioned setting. [[spoiler: It’s revealed that this is the world the Mistress came from]].
* FeatherMotif: Elizabeth grows green and gray feathers, in the pattern of a gold finch. The girl before her grew white feathers.
* ReincarnationRomance: Played with. [[spoiler: The first Alice and Elizabeth were in love, and our Elizabeth slowly comes to have feelings for the present-day Alice. But while Elizabeth [i]thinks[/i] this is a reincarnation romance, the first Elizabeth tells her that her heart is her own, and that she developed feelings for the present day Alice genuinely, not as a result of their connection.]]
* StarCrossedLovers: The Mistress ensures that [[spoiler: the first Elizabeth and Alice cannot even be TogetherInDeath]].
