History Manhwa / CielTheLastAutumnStory

* ShipSinking: Yvienne/January was hit hard back in [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/ciel_the_last_autumn_story/v02/c013/21.html volume 2]], and ended up [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/ciel_the_last_autumn_story/v05/c006.3/56.html being]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/ciel_the_last_autumn_story/v05/c006.3/57.html sunk]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/ciel_the_last_autumn_story/v05/c006.3/58.html definitively]] in volume 5. Not that it stops them from [[TheBeard pretending to be a couple]] for the perks, though.

->''Marie said her dream was to own a piece of land, no matter how small.''
->''Lizzy said her dream was to marry the second son of the mill owner.''
->''But I- I never saw any future for myself at all.''

Yvienne, at 15, has no dreams or ambitions. Even though she's the most beautiful girl in her small village, she envies her friends who all have goals for the future. But she herself can only focus on just getting by day-to-day, working for the family of aristocrats who lord over the area while avoiding the affections of their son. Unfortunately, this gets her into trouble with the family, and her only chance at saving herself is enrolling in the magic school she received an invitation to. While there, she'll come to realize that her future would take her higher than she ever imagined.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Witches need to form these in order to use magic without dying. It's even mentioned that these relationships will almost always fall apart when one of the girls gets married.

* SchoolgirlLesbians: In contrast to most of the other pairs of witches, Judith and Ecliche are strongly implied to be this.

** January and Daughter to Yvienne and Khroniten

* BisexualLoveTriangle: While partially subtextual, Yvienne finding her feelings pulled between Lariatte and Krohiten is a significant part of the story. She all but states that Lariatte being a girl is the only reason she's been able to avoid a making a choice, and her inability to pick or prioritize between the girl who's her reason to live and the first man she ever fell for winds up leading to heartbreak on all sides.

* BetaCouple: January and Daughter to Yvienne and Khroniten

* DestructiveRomance: The witch pairing of Augustine Lightsphere and Saskia plays out like this, as their inability to handle Saskia's depression ends up causing both of their deaths.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: By the end of volume 8, Lariatte seems to have come to this conclusion about Yvienne.

* NoNameGiven: The Earth Dragon- and he plans to keep it that way.

* BirdsOfAFeather: Yvienne and Khroniten have many similarities and that's what attracts them to each other. However, they are the darker side to this trope as they end up reinforcing each other's flaws - great power, laziness, a certain selfishness and tendency to ignore ethics - into a DestructiveRomance.

* BirdsOfAFeather: Yvienne and Khroniten have many similarities and that's ultimately what attracts them to each other. However, they are the darker side to this trope as they end up reinforcing each other's flaws - great power, laziness, a certain selfishness and tendency to ignore ethics - into a DestructiveRomance.

** Yvienne's inability to see a future for herself. [[spoiler: This is actually her precognition powers showing her the BadFuture. Turn out Yvienne was simply misinterpreting her visions.]]

* AmbiguousSituation: What would have changed if Yvienne had [[spoiler: given Lariatte the flower she earned on her trip to the past]]? We'll never know for sure, only that it would have been significant enough to alter 'an important fate'.

* RescueRomance: The way Yvienne became Lariatte's familiar is basically a ([[LesYay sort of]]) platonic version of this.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Witches need to form these in order to use magic without dying. It's even mentioned occasionally that these partnerships rarely last once one of the girls involved gets married.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Witches need to form these in order to use magic without dying.
* SchoolgirlLesbians: Judith and Ecliche are heavily implied to be this.

There are '''unmarked spoilers''' for up to volume 18 below, so read this page with caution. Licensed by TokyoPop and, unfortunately, entered their long list of OrphanedSeries when they closed shop.

* LoveMartyr: Countess Lightsphere to Saskia in a very AllTakeAndNoGive relationship. Lightsphere heavily idealized Saskia and wanted to give her everything. Unfortunately, Saskia was too caught up in her own problems to appreciate it, leading her her suicide and Lightsphere's DespairEventHorizon. Their relationship serves as a lesson to Yvienne (who's pointed out as being very similar to Saskia)

* GenreSavvy: Ecliché and Yvienne, frequently.

* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Yvienne and Lariatte, though they have opposite roles than at first glance. Yvienne while social and open is TheTease and is selfish, apathetic and cynical. Lari while stoic and quiet, runs on ChronicHeroSyndrome and HonorBeforeReason and is very vulnerable and open (once you read her tells).

* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Yvienne and Lariatte, though they have opposite roles than their looks would suggest. Yvienne is TheTease and is generally selfish, apathetic and cynical. Lari while stoic and quiet, runs on ChronicHeroSyndrome and HonorBeforeReason and is very vulnerable and open (once you read her tells).

* BetaCouple: January and Daughter who sort out their issues way before Yvienne and Khroniten
** Countess Lightsphere and Saskia serve as a warning to Yvienne and Lari.

** A more specific incident is [[spoiler:when (successfully) Lariatte uses teleportation to save Yvienne in chapter 6, one of the teachers is extremely harsh with her, grounding her for eight hours and warning her that she likely had only a 1/10 chance of surviving that stunt. Sure enough, she tries to do it again later... and dies.]]
