* EveryoneLovesBlondes: When Penelope first played the game in Korea, Callisto was the route she went for the most.

* EveryoneLovesBlondes: When Penelope Siyeon first played the game in Korea, Callisto was the route she went for the most.



** When Siyeon plays the hard mode, she remarks Penelope didn't do that much wrong considering the position she was in and wonders why people were making her out to be so evil in the normal mode. Likewise, she also notes how easy it is to complete normal mode. [[spoiler:This is the earliest hint about the Layla's ability to brainwash and the curse on Penelope's true bloodline that forces everyone to see their descendants as villains]].
** Layla cultists try to cause chaos during the Annual Hunt. One of them even alludes to the Layla ''goddess'' [[spoiler: aka Ivonne, who is also spotted by Penelope during the adventure on Soleia island.]]

* HeroWithBadPublicity: The Ancient Wizards are remembered as vicious and power hungry due to a curse that the Layla put on them to ensure that they were negatively perceived when in reality they were the ones that saved their world from the Layla. It persists three thousand years later in their descendants,[[spoiler: like our poor Penelope]].

* NotQuiteTheRightThing: Penelope needs to raise a target's favorability by a high amount in order to stay safe, start a route and finish the "game" she's in. She eventually settles on Ecklise as the best option as she considers everyone else too untrustworthy or aggressive. However, her method of doing so is to make him physically and emotionally reliant on her, which starts causing behavior that make her somewhat uneasy. [[spoiler:Her lack of respect or interest coupled with their twisted dynamic ends up making him obsessed with her.]] When she gets the option to see the nature of the affection people hold for her, Reynold is a bright pink color indicating a healthy [[spoiler: entirely sibling]] relationship. Ecklise, by contrast, is a reddish black color that reminds her of a scar. [[spoiler: In the end, he actually brings back the supposedly real daughter in an attempt to have Penelope driven out so he can keep her for himself, believing she'll be forced to depend on him.]]

* ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:The Mirror of Truth reveals the real reason Penelope tried to kill Ivonne was because she instinctively had a bad feeling about her. As it turned out, she was correct to have this feeling as Ivonne was actually the Layla plotting to end the world. Unfortunately, the curse on Penelope's bloodline made it impossible for anyone to believe her and Layla-Ivonne took advantage of this to dispose of her, allowing her plan to go off without a hitch.]]

** During her trial for supposedly trying to assassinate Callisto, with Callisto was unable to testify due to a poison coma, her primary defense is (falsely) admitting to a love affair with him. And it ''works'' because no one would believe someone would have the audacity to lie about being in a relationship with him, nor about wanting to leave him. When he recovers, Callisto finds it amusing and enjoys rubbing in their supposed relationship in the face of her Father and brothers.

* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Penelope has magenta hair and aquagreen eyes. [[spoiler: She also happens to be a direct descendant of the Ancient Mages, making her the last existing person who can wield Ancient Magic and is absolutely crucial to defeat the Layla. Her death in the Normal Mode of the game, no matter who kills her, leads to the bad ending, where the Layla successfully ends the world.]]

* WoundedGazelleGambit: [[spoiler:Layla-Ivonne's MO to get others- namely the male love interests, to act against Penelope. In the new timeline Penelope unintentionally defies her attempts at this when she willingly drinks the poisoned chalice Layla-Ivonne initially meant to drink in order to frame Penelope.]]
