6!''Unicornus Knights'' provides examples of:
7
8* AmazonBrigade: The Queensguard, commanded by Mirza, consists solely of women.
9* DefeatMeansFriendship: Certain characters and cards will cause enemies to switch sides if defeated.
10* EscortMission: The whole game is primarily about making sure Princess Cornelia gets to the capital alive.
11* TheEmpire: The Legnaia Empire, which invaded and conquered Astoria.
12* TheGoodKingdom: The Kingdom of Astoria, which was invaded and conquered by TheEmpire.
13* HeelFaceTurn: Most of the empire characters- except ones with the "no fate" condition- can pull this.
14* LeeroyJenkins: Princess Cornelia will attempt to head straight for the capital, and will not avoid a fight, even one she will clearly lose. The players' job is to get her there and defeat the Emperor instead of getting herself killed. Averted if you play using Cornelia's strategist personality card, in which case she is able to move tactically.
15* LoveAtFirstSight: A possible fate card, which immediately makes the imperial character affected by it become an ally of the kingdom character they're fate-bonded to if said kingdom character is of the opposite sex.
16* MyCountryRightOrWrong: The "loyal soldier" fate card has no effect, but implies that the empire character with it follows this trope.
17* PrincessInRags: Princess Cornelia doesn't take the Empire's invasion lying down, vowing to defeat them and reclaim the throne.
