[[folder: Mary Skelter Nightmares]]

* Just about all of the character endings:
** Alice [[AngerBornOfWorry goes off on Jack for his dangerous stunt]], sobbing all the while. Once she calms down, she and Jack reaffirm that they want to continue to support each other.
** Red Riding Hood and Jack ask each other to be more open with their feelings.
** Thumbelina sheepishly thanks Jack and nearly confesses to him before being interrupted by the others.
** Snow White thanks Jack for lending her the courage to speak about the traitor, and promises that while she may not stand out, she will look to do the things that only she can do. She then asks Jack to be by her side whenever she feels uneasy.
** Sleeping Beauty repeatedly calls Jack her prince, calling him a precious friend instead when he gets flustered. She speaks in almost full sentences and is not sleepy anymore.
** Gretel shows more emotion than usual, admitting that she cares more about her own life than she did before. She then tells Jack that he will be her test subject forever.
** Rapunzel tells Jack that she wants him with her as she becomes an adult.
** Cinderella realizes that to take care of others, she needs to take care of herself. She then tells Jack that she still wants to wear a beautiful dress for him.
** Kaguya reflects on how having friends and being able to speak her mind to the Order of the Sun's followers has helped her to change, and thanks Jack for making sure that she doesn't have to leave.
** Hameln thanks Jack for helping her find friends and reflects on how good it felt to have her hand grabbed by him.

[[folder: Mary Skelter 2/Remake]]

* Jack and Alice's EstablishingCharacterMoment: Red Riding Hood practically kidnaps Alice out of her cell, prompting Jack to immediately run after them. Then, when Red Riding Hood suggests that Jack would be a distraction and shouldn't be near Alice, Alice ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness thoroughly chews her out]]'' and declares that she wouldn't have survived as long as she did without Jack.
-->'''Alice:''' Waking up to Jack saying "good morning" is all I need to live through another day!
* The [[GoldenEnding True Ending]] to both ''Mary Skelter 2'' and the ''Mary Skelter'' remake. [[spoiler: Having doubts that a corpse and microphone would be sufficient material for the Jail's egg to revive Little Mermaid, Nightmare Otsuu uses herself as well so that it can use her memories [[HeroicSacrifice fully aware that it may result in her own death]]. The Blood Team, torn between trying to find another way and respecting her decision, ultimately let her go through with it. The result is Otsuu being returned to her human form and Little Mermaid successfully revived, not as the child she died as, but the woman Otsuu remembered.]]

[[folder: Mary Skelter Finale]]
* [[CoolBigSis Charlotte in general]]. TheGadfly she may be, because of her connection as [[spoiler: Alice's long lost sister, even with her knowledge of all the Blood Maidens, she isn't ashamed to admit that as long as Alice is happy, that's all that matters. She was even instrumental in preventing Gatou's plans to destroy all life, albeit unintentionally. Whenever Alice died, she would go mad and use Mary's Blood Ability on a Witchcraft Core just to make sure she lives, to the point where Gatou would get tired of the loops.]] She then pulls a twofer by her relationship with Mary, [[spoiler: mainly having found her back underground and naming her, which is how she remembered her own. And when Mary used her match to feed her desire to make her clothes, she hugged Mary tightly for fear of losing her.]] And lastly, in the True Ending, [[spoiler: she and Alice make an effort to reconcile as sisters while Alice lays on her lap.]]
* Rachel as well, alongside her sisters Reilly and Ellie. [[spoiler: Despite her being chosen by Ellie in a bid to protect her, and her suffering through the Massacre Pink's master's torture and forcibly turned into a Massacre Pink, the one thing that hadn't changed was her pure-heartedness, allowing her to retain her humanity and turn to the side of good with Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty, even going so far as to consider them family even after her master abandoned her. ''Not even after her sisters or the Devouring Armada Tower Nightmare tried to kill her.'' In addition, she expresses shame and sadness of her "papa"'s true nature, and once she remembers her past, she makes an effort to reconnect with the now grown-up Ellie and Reilly in the new world.]] That takes some serious HeroicWillpower, which is why it also counts as Awesome.
* A small one, but despite all the shit that Pyre gets from the Massacre Pink, [[spoiler: after they have been transformed into the Massacre Pink Nightmare, if you choose Clara’s Team to be the one to defeat them, after the battle, the Nightmare [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes ''heals'' her.]] Even though they have took many lives for their Master’s twisted ambitions, it becomes clear that despite what they did, [[TragicVillain they still are just as much victims of circumstance]] and have a HiddenHeartOfGold for their sister. [[HeelFaceDoorSlam Too bad they didn’t get their chance at redemption on top of the Devouring Jail Tower…]]]]
* Toh's CharacterDevelopment as a character from being a [[spoiler: reincarnation of the late Professor, Snark.]] At the beginning of the game, when he patched Snow White's injuries up, he still only thought of finding his wife and has no qualms of leaving others to die just to reach his goal. His relationship towards the Blood Team is not the friendliest as they only work together due to both sides needing each other. Red Riding Hood then gives him the name "Toh" because he reminded her of Professor Tohjima, and even if his teammates compare him to Snark, he insists that ThatManIsDead and he shouldn't associate himself with Snark. As he spends more time with the team, he comes to terms with how Jack was the one person Snark despised, however, by the endgame, [[spoiler: he remembers everything about his past life and is instrumental for Jack creating a peaceful world by sacrificing himself to stop the fall of the moon and finally achieves his goal at the cost of his own life, reuniting with Cheshire in his last moments.]] Looks like Red Riding Hood’s love for the Professor [[ChekhovsGun finally,]] ''[[ChekhovsGun finally]]'' [[ChekhovsGun paid off]].

[[folder: Love Prison Tower Mary Skelter]]
* Being set in a HighSchoolAU of ''Mary Skelter'' [[spoiler:thanks to being from a bad ending from Mary Skelter Finale where Jack wishes for a world without suffering]], each Blood Maiden deserves one moment worth mentioning.

[[folder: Love Prison Tower Mary Skelter True End]]
* All of the endings of [[spoiler:Mary Skelter Finale's canon epilogue]], ''Love Prison Tower True End''. ''All'' of them. To list:
** Alice's marriage ending starts with Alice rejecting Jack's proposal explaining that it would be selfish of her to accept right then and there, as everyone still needs time to enjoy the new world that Jack wished for, breaking his heart. Charlotte overhears this, and decides to talk to [[spoiler: her sister]] in order to push their relationship into the next level before Jack falls for one of the other Blood Maidens, lecturing her that there will always be hard times in life, so she should enjoy her happiness while she still can, finally accepting Jack's proposal. Otsuu and Little Mermaid then dresses him up in a tuxedo as Alice comes out with her wedding dress that Otsuu designed for the couple, before they both make a promise never to let the other go. This was enough for Charlotte to declare this tale a happy end, tearing up at the sight of Alice's grand wedding dress, as the final scene shows the two vowing to stay together forever. Safe to say, the saga of the two childhood friends has finally concluded on a happy note.
