Tsuki Ni Kakureta Taiyo Tropes
- Anthropomorphic Personification: Rune, Soleil, Eto, and Nuage respectively personify the moon, sun, stars and the weather.
- Cosmic Motifs:
- The main protagonist, Rune, has a moon motif and is aptly titled the "Girl in the Moon". She has moon accessories around her, down to her own staff which has a crescent moon on its head, as well as a hair ornament with a moon on it. She is calm and unsmiling for most of the time, at least, which also causes her to unable to see a full moon.
- A very ironic case for Soleil. He has a sun motif, whose main role is to brighten the outside world, as well as wearing a necklace with a sun pendant on it. But he's a Nervous Wreck who is Prone to Tears, often resulting in the outside world raining and the sky being pitch black.
- Eto has a star motif who is prone to getting star-struck, with his main job of bringing stars at the night sky. He is also energetic but has bouts of being mean to others.
- Empathic Environment: Nuage is the personification of weather, where her mood and emotions determine it.
- Nervous Wreck: Soleil is prone to this, who gets easily depressed for strange reasons, who often hides in a flower bed. He is also prone to causing rain due to being a crybaby.
- Minimalist Cast: Only four recurring characters appear in the story.
