* NonStandardCharacterDesign: The style in which Courtney is drawn is markedly different from that of other characters and even that of other child characters, who tend to be drawn a bit more realistically. In contrast, Courtney's head is proportionally much larger, as are her eyes, she lacks a nose, and her mouth is usually only a small line.
* TheWoobie:
** Courtney, every time [[SillyRabbitRomanceIsForKids true love doesn't conquer all.]] Veers a little into JerkassWoobie at times.
** Skarrow, who left his home and adopted mother so he could be with Hermia. [[spoiler:He ends up being blamed for cursing her and killed not several feet from his mother. Making things even worse, it's implied that Hermia ''could'' have found a loophole from the curse silencing her to name the person who bewitched her, but didn't bother because "[she] just wanted to be left alone."]]
** Poor Joey, who is turned into a Night Thing by his BigBrotherBully.
