* WritersCannotDoMath: In order for Danielle to be the Grande Dame's great great grandmother, the story would have to be set in the 17th century at the earliest, rather than right at the beginning of the 16th. [[note]] Leonardo da Vinci moved to France in 1515 and the Brothers Grimm published their first collection of fairy tales, including Cinderella, in 1812, nearly 300 years later, plus their meeting with the Grande Dame is likely taking place some time after that initial publication as they're clearly famous by this point. Even assuming the Grande Dame was born in the 1740s, that's still roughly 230 years time difference and seven to eight generations between Danielle and her descendant. For a real life comparison, Louis XV was the great great grandson of Louis XIII, while being born 109 years after his ancestor. [[/note]]

** Various courtiers (including Rodmilla and her daughters) often wear bold colors and patterns in expensive fabrics to show off their status.

'''Creator/LeonardoDaVinci:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Horse. Shit.]]

* PeerPressuredBully: Overlaps with ExtremeDoormat. Danielle is bullied by her mother and elder stepsister. Younger stepsister Jacqueline, whom they don't treat much better, is clearly uncomfortable with and sometimes outright disgusted by their actions, but struggles to muster the courage to actually stand up for Danielle or herself. [[CharacterDevelopment She gets better about this as the movie goes on]], eventually outright siding with Danielle against her mother and sister. By the film's denouement when Danielle and the prince are married, Jacqueline [[spoiler: is in a PairTheSpares relationship with the Prince's valet, and the lone member of her family not to be exiled for the mistreatment of Danielle.]]

** Marguerite mostly wears bold orange dresses.

** The king and queen often wear golds and oranges. [[spoiler:Once Danielle becomes their daughter-in-law, we see her in a similar color scheme to indicate that she's part of their family.]]

** When Henry returns the horse he took from the de Barbarac stables, Laurent is briefly shown looking appreciatively at Marguerite and Jacqueline. Laurent and Jacqueline will later meet again at the masquerade ball, where [[spoiler:it's implied they hit it off and begin their own budding romance.]]

* BaldOfEvil: Pierre Le Pieu.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Le Pieu, for Danielle. Not only is he much older than her, Danielle clearly finds his advances repulsive.

* EntitledBitch: Two of them, courtesy of Rodmilla and Marguerite. This mother and daughter duo treat Danielle lower than shit as a servant, and steal her late mother’s dress, then force her into a SadisticChoice between her mother’s shoes or burning her father’s last gift (a book), only to burn the book anyway and whip Danielle. Once Danielle hides the dress and shoes, Rodmilla and Marguerite outright demand her to surrender the dress, but Danielle stands her ground and refuses.
