!!''Maerchen Maedchen'' provides examples of:
%%* TheAce: Shizuka.
* BadassBookworm: Technically, all maedchen are this, what with them getting magic powers from storybooks.
* BigDamnHeroes: Hazuki arrives to save Shizuka's team just as they were about to be defeated.
* BigGood: Sugami fully supports Hazuki and helps her whenever she's in danger.
* BlatantLies: Tatiana of the Russian team comes up with all sorts of ridiculous excuses to convince her teammates to forfeit their match against the Japanese team. [[spoiler:Altough none of them buy it, they decide to honor her request nevertheless.]]
* [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim Break Her Heart To Save Her]]: Fearing for Hazuki's life if she competes in the tournament, Shizuka lies to her that she never see her as a friend and forces her to leave.
* TheChosenMany: Maedchen are chosen by the Origin books.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Whenever a match is finished, the losing team has to serve to everyone as waitresses and wear the garments with it.
* TheCutie: Aside from Hazuki, there's also Tatiana from the Russian school. She is polite, honest and friendly to everyone, earning her the admiration of the Russian team. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, an unknown party ended up tampering with her Origin.]]
* ADayInTheLimelight: Episode 7 focuses on Team Russia and their efforts to sabotage Team Japan on the day before the Hexennacht begins.
* {{Deconstruction}}: Hazuki deconstructs the tale of Cinderella by criticizing some of its hallmark elements, such as the prince possibly not being the right person for her, the WickedStepmother and step-sisters actually being nice to her and questioning why does the FairyGodmother's spell only lasts till midnight.
* EarnYourHappyEnding:
** Hazuki's main drive. Having found it, Hazuki declares that the story doesn't fit her... which is why she'll make her own version.
** The entire series revolves around this. It's wrong to follow a path chosen by someone else and one must have the will to change their own destiny to find theie happy endings.
* EasilyForgiven: In Episode 7, Team Russia is easily forgiven by Hazuki and Shizuka despite the former's attempts to sabotage their team throughout the episode.
%%* FaceOfAThug: Yumilia, {{lampshaded}} by Hazuki.
* TheFool: Tatania of the Russian team, to a massive fault. Being both incredibly naive and innocent, she usually ends up making things worse for herself when taking things others say by face-value, [[spoiler: To the point her very Origin ends up as collateral damage when handing it over to a complete stranger after a cheap, simplistic, reason given to her.]] She's painfully aware of how foolish she is, to the point where her wish for the Hexennnacht is simply "I want to be smarter". Her Origin by coincidence is aptly enough "Ivan the Fool".
* GenreSavvy: With her extensive and diverse knowledge of literature, Hazuki is very quick to question herself about what kind of story she stumbled into upon discovering the world of the Maedchen. For example, thinking to herself that the school was akin of Literature/HarryPotter and surprised over it being more akin of a MagicalGirl story instead upon seeing magic manifest for the first time.
* TheMole: Yumilia is actually a member of the Coalition.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: During their match against the Russian team, Hazuki unintentionally fixes Tatiana's malfunctioning Origin when she wishes to grant the latter's wish. [[spoiler:Fortunately for her, Tatiana manages to convince her teammates to forfeit the match.]]
* OurMonstersAreWeird: Specks are entities of black magic that feed off the magic generated from Origin books. If a speck devours enough magic, it can be strong enough to challenge maedchen.
* PersonalityPowers: To the point where most, if not all, of the maedchen appears to be [[MoeAnthropomorphism avatars]] of the stories within their contracted Origins even when ''not'' using their powers. Hazuki being the first exception as not only does she reject this aspect, but makes it so her Origin adjust to fit ''her'' and not the other way around.
* PokeThePoodle: The Russians are not that good of saboteurs using very harmless and absurd methods against the Japanese.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Hazuki gave an epic version regarding the fairy tales and how ridiculous much of their premise are.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: Hazuki accidentally has a NakedFirstImpression with the entire magic school. Although she seems no more bothered by this than by ordinary social awkwardness.
* WickedStepmother: Subverted. Hazuki's stepmother is kind and caring towards her.
* WizardingSchool: The main setting of the series is a school for maedchen.
* YouCantFightFate: Yumilia thinks all maedchen are destined to follow the paths set before them by their Origins and it is useless to do otherwise. Hazuki is quick to disabuse her of such notion.
