History VisualNovel / CinderellaPhenomenon

* HeroesWantRedheads: If you choose to pursue Karma.

** Taken UpToEleven in Rod's route, where it becomes gossip throughout the kingdom that he and one of the palace maids (which Lucette is posing as) are lovers, after he defends her from two noblewomen. Ophelia even sees it enough to ask Lucette about it directly, though Lucette promptly rejects the idea at the time.

** Fritz's good ending in particular is filled with a lot more tragedy than any other character's good ending. To start, [[spoiler: Garlan and Delora are both killed part-way through the story. Doubly heartbreaking for the latter, since it was after becoming a SurrogateParent to Lucette and growing very close. Parfait ultimately sacrifices herself in order to destroy Hildyr, along with all magic in the kingdom. Varg also dies in a way, as he allows Fritz to fully take control of their body once and for all because he'd fallen in love with Lucette and knew that only Fritz could make her happy.]]

The team is currently working on a fandisc called Cinderella Phenomenon: Evermore which will feature extended epilogues for each of the love interests, focusing more specifically on their relationship rather than an overarching plot. The most recent release date, as of November 2020, is December 22nd, 2020. It will be available to purchase for $10.

* Tsundere: Rod in his route. He starts off genuinely disliking Lucette for her behaviour toward his family and refuses to help her. As her CharacterDevelopment manifests, he slowly turns more into a Tsun and even tries to pass off his concern for Lucette to be on Emelaigne's behalf.

** Lucette herself displays some major Tsun behaviour towards Karma and Rumpel on their routes, usually in the form of [[DeadpanSnarker snark.]]

* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Lucette first encounters Karma in his female disguise and doesn't learn that he's actually a man until later on.

* UselessBystanderParent: King Genaro didn't do much to protect his daughter, Princess Lucette, against the abuse she suffered in her childhood. This was because he feared the abuser wouldn't let him see Lucette anymore if he tried to intervene.

* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Because of the fairytales, humans started believing that wicthes were wicked. Then, out of fear and / or hatred, humans started a witch hunt. In the end, the witch hunt made some witches turn against the humans. One of these witches was the Tenebrarum bearer, who ended up deciding to create the Faitytale curses and let the witches free to terrorize and curse the humans of the kingdom.

* UselessBystanderParent: King Genaro didn't do much to protect his daughter, Princess Lucette, from the abuse she suffered in her childhood.

* MindControlEyes: When [[spoiler:Emelaigne's being]] magically controlled by [[spoiler:Mythros to kill Viorica]], her eyes are a bit duller.

* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Subverted. [[spoiler:Lucette ''is'' a half witch, and possesses golden eyes - however, she actually inherited them from her father, who is human, and an aversion himself.]]

* MythologyGag: Rod's red plush bunny who speaks for him is named Sebby, a reference to Sebastian from Disney's ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid''.

* HairDecorations: A few characters are seen wearing this: both Lucette and Emelaigne wear hair bands, Karma is wearing flowers in his hair while in disguise, Ophelia wears what seems to be a crown, and Parfait also has one.

* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:In the routes for Fritz and Waltz where Hildyr is resurrected, she always kills Mythros for failing to defeat Waltz.]]

* AbusiveParents: Lucette's mother Hildyr, who manipulated, isolated and emotionally abused Lucette until she became cold and hostile to the world around her. Fritz's father Alcastor also counts, as he [[spoiler:turned his son into his unwilling lackey by cursing him into Varg. Fritz's route specifically even shows Alcastor punching him (while in the form of Varg) for losing Lucette. Moreover, he straight-up ''kills'' Fritz in Karma's good ending, after he manages to regain control of his body.]]

* AntiVillain: Varg, in some routes. [[spoiler: While he ''mostly'' assists Alcastor and/or Mythros, he's also known to do small things to protect Lucette and is sometimes downright reluctant to go against her. This is revealed in Fritz's route to be the result of Fritz's affections for Lucette seeping into his "Varg" split-personality.]]

** Rumple's good ending comes at the cost of [[spoiler: Parfait's death. Moreover, Varg/Fritz just plain disappears since nobody knew he was cursed in the first place, leaving his fate open-ended.]]

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: When you make the right decision for any of the love-interests, a small, colored crystallum pops up in the corner of the screen. Each one matches a prominent colour in each of their designs; dark purple for Rod, red for Karma, fuchsia for Rumple, grey for Fritz and light green for Waltz.

* LoveTriangle: Downplayed but present in Rod's and Rumple's routes between them, Lucette and [[spoiler: Viorica or Bria, respectively.]]

* RomanticWingman: Karma offers romantic advice to Rumple in his route, once they settle their differences. Rumple likewise returns the favour in Karma's route, by attempting to hint at his feelings to Lucette (though she doesn't seem to believe him).

** Lucette, who often takes a leading role in defeating [[spoiler:Mythros, Alcastor and/or her mother.]]

** [[spoiler: Varg, Mythros and Alcastor.]] They aren't loyal to one another ''at all'' despite forming the main trio of antagonists for the first 3 routes. [[spoiler:Things end with either Alcastor or Mythros disposing of the other because YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness. Varg, in turn, seems to somewhat resent his place as their lackey and often does things to rebel; he pretends to be passed out in Rumple's route and relinquishes control of his body back to Fritz in Karma's.]]

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:Hildyr]] acts as this in the route's where they are not the BigBad themselves. In Rod and Rumpel's routes [[spoiler:Mythros acts as the BigBad specifically to have Hildyr resurrected, but Hildyr makes no appearances herself since Mythros fails or the game ends on a Bad Ending before the resurrection.]] In Karma's route [[spoiler:Hildyr is cited as the inspiration for the MightMakesRight attitude adopted by Alcaster that drove him to betray King Genaro.]]

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:In several routes, Mythros disposes of Alcaster when his goals start interfering with his own. And in the routes where Hildyr is resurrected, she always kills Mythros when she feels that a display of total ruthlessness is in order.]]

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Rod tried to adopt this attitude towards Vicoria, letting her marry another man without telling her that he was the one who actually saved her, but couldn't resist still wishing to become a prince to find some way of getting her to return his feelings. Also, in Fritz's good ending, his split personality Varg willingly erases himself because he grew to love Lucette too and knew that only Fritz could make her happy.]]

* MindControlEyes: When [[spoiler:Emelaigne's being]] magically controlled by [[spoiler:Mythros to kill Vicoria]], her eyes are a bit duller.

* SycophanticServant: Mythros straddles the line between this and a gender-inverted IgnoredEnamoredUnderling in regards to [[spoiler: Hildyr. His plans in all routes completely revolve around reviving her and he holds obsessive adoration and UndyingLoyalty to her, despite that she seemingly never really treated him that well and kills him in the routes she's revived. Fritz's route suggests that his loyalty may have been motivated by MadLove, as much as it is in revenge to humanity. One particular memory Lucette recalls is overhearing a discussion between him and her mother, during which he praises her great beauty before being shut down by Hidyr.]]

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: In most of the routes, other characters pick will up on the feelings between Lucette and her chosen LoveInterest before even she does.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: [[spoiler:Rumpel used to be a doctor who did his best to cure every patient who came to him without expecting any payment in return. This is not portrayed by the narrative as an entirely good thing, as Rumpel's refusal to accept payment from many of his patients soured his relationship with his fiancee and his insistence on saving every single one of his patients drove him to make [[DealWithTheDevil deals with a witch]] that cost him his engagement ring and eventually his memories.]]

* BackupBluff: In Waltz's good ending, [[spoiler: Lucette pretends to obey Hildyr in order to stop her.]]
