History VideoGame / KingsQuestVIIThePrincelessBride

* {{Bookends}}: Rosella's story begins when she's literally pulled into an engagement with Otar, King Of Trolls. In the end-of-game cutscene, [[spoiler:Edgar asks her properly for permission to court her, which she grants.]]

** The chicken who keeps yelling "The sky is falling!" is an obvious reference to WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle.

** The Crystal Dragon of the Vulcanix Underground is in a deep, lethargic depression when Rosella first meets her because she has lost her “spark.” In other words, she has lost her will to live because she can no longer breathe fire. Rosella reigniting her flame with a lit lantern also restores her zest for life.

* KarmaHoudini: The snake oil salesman gets no comeuppance whatsoever for having you steal the magic statuette from the archduke for him.

* GameOverMan: Whenever you die, you cut to a screen where the character you're currently playing as will comment about her demise. Most of the time you get a helpful hint, but sometimes the comments are a bit more sarcastic and blunt.

-->'''Valanice''': Oh boy. I should be more careful around big spiders.

* PutOnABus: Oddly, neither Graham or Alexander show up or even get a mention. Then again, Valanice and Rosella spend most of the game ''far'' from Daventry.

'''Oppy:''' Don't apologize, my dear, [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch I quite understand. I can't tolerate the company of most other trolls myself]]. Obby Goldsworth, Master Jeweler, at your service.\\

** At the start of Chapter 5, should Valanice use the comb on the magic statuette to see Rosella's current whereabouts, the statuette will say she is back underground in the land of the volcano, where she was showing arriving at the end of Chapter 4. However, this cannot yet be possible, as Rosella does not even arrive in Falderal until after Valanice's acquittal, none of the Falderal residents have yet met Rosella, and Valanice can’t traverse the were woods without trading the statuette for the magic salve.

** Given how short Rosella’s final chapter is compared to Valanice’s, one has to wonder how much time she spent watching the two troll kings fight before [[spoiler:using the magic wand]] or how long she was imprisoned in the volcano before discovering [[spoiler:she could dig herself out.]] If these decisions are made quickly, it doesn’t seem to allow Valanice enough time to do everything required of her in Etheria.

** In Chapter 5, should Valanice use the comb on the magic statuette to see Rosella's current whereabouts, the statuette will say she is back underground in the land of the volcano. However, this cannot be possible, as Rosella does not even arrive in Falderal until after Valanice's acquittal, and Valanice can’t traverse the were woods without trading the statuette for the magic salve.

* {{Spinventory}}: Some puzzles can only be solved by looking at the inventory from all directions.

* PointOfNoReturn: Only two of note: The elevator from Vulcanix to Ooga Booga (which collapses at the end of chapter 2 or the beginning of chapter 4) and the Were Woods after Rosella uses the SilverBullet in chapter 4 and Valanice uses the Were Beast Salve in chapter 5 (though in the latter case only until she rescues Count Tsepish and gets his [[WarpWhistle flute]]).

** Valanice cannot use Rosella’s comb to cry into the statue’s bowl until players have clicked the comb on her at least once, thus revealing it as an object which causes he to cry on cue.

* YouShouldntKnowThisAlready: Rosella can't use burning sulfur to knock the blacksmith unconscious until she has eavesdropped on the troll ladies in the mud bath discussing the use of burning sulfur as a sleeping aid. Nor can she call on the gravedigger to dig up Otar's grave until the cat tells her where Otar's grave is. Similarly, Valanice can't ask the Rock Spirit how to cure Attis and Ceres until Attis has told her about the Rock Spirit.

* CliffHanger: Every chapter ends in one.

* ContinueYourMissionDammit: Should Rosella spend too long questioning the residents of Falderal, she’ll be sternly reminded by King Otar that they must resume their journey. Likewise, Valanice will think this to herself if she spends to long speaking to certain people.

* TheMaze: The Desert.

* RebelliousPrincess: Rosella's response to {{arranged marriage}} is jumping into the first enchanted pool she comes across.

* SchmuckBait: Go ahead, walk on Benjamin Crabby's grave. [[BlatantLies Absolutely nothing will happen.]]

* StrappedToARocket: An [[http://www.akril15.com/kq7resources/View4269-0.gif unused animation]] suggests that this was a potential death for Rosella.

* MakeupIsEvil: Malicia, the villain, is by far the most heavily made-up of the female characters. Lampshaded by Rosella and Valanice when scrutinising her vanity.
