* GenderBlenderName: Sisi, named for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_Elisabeth_of_Austria Empress Elisabeth of Austria]], is a ''male'' dog.

* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: Victoria.

* RuleOfSymbolism: Although only shown briefly, at the end of the opening credits (of the VN) the protagonist, Cardia, is shown in a T-pose reminiscent of [[UsefulNotes/LeonardodaVinci The Vitruvian Man]]. [[spoiler: Considering that The Vitruvian Man is a representation of the human proportions in relation to the universe and nature, this is likely not a coincidence. The Vitruvian Man can also be interpreted as a symbol for creation, since almost all acts of creating involve working with some kind of proportions. Cardia was created by Isaac to be perfect and lead the world into a new golden age of knowledge where man would be on par with God.]]

* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob: Saint-Germain is a whimsical nobleman whose excuse for most of the things that he does, from letting Lupin and Impey hide out at his estate onwards, is "I'm bored and it seemed amusing." [[spoiler:"Eccentric aristocrat" is a good cover for a member of Idea.]]

* CrusadingWidower: [[spoiler:Isaac Beckford's wife and children were murdered, leading him on a quest to become the new god of a world at constant war, in order to drive humanity to reach the level of the divine through scientific development.]]

* RapunzelHair: Impey's hair, braided, reaches to his waist.

* EntitledBastard: The potential AssholeVictim the group has to defend from the [[spoiler:vampire serial killer]] in Van Helsing's route.

* WeddingDay: The good ending of [[spoiler: Lupin's]] route culminates in this with him and Cardia holding a private ceremony with practically the entire main cast in attendance. However, no one can stay quiet, and [[spoiler: Lupin]] subsequently grows so impatient that he kisses Cardia before the two can even make their vows.

** Private detective Herlock Sholmès ''is'' skilled enough to become a definite thorn in Lupin's side. Though dubious of Twilight's motives, Sholmès believes that the law is what allows society to function, and supports it even when he personally believes the law is in the wrong. At the same time, he bears the heroes no personal ill will, and steps in to help them on several occasions with the excuse that he keeps his work and his

* MissingMom: Cardia spends much of the game searching for her father Isaac, but no mention is made of her absent mother. [[spoiler:As a homunculus, she doesn't technically have one.]]

** Some antagonists also identify themselves as monsters, but embrace the status rather than struggling with it. [[spoiler:Aleister]] goes so far as to try to bring [[spoiler:Van Helsing]] down to his level.

* TheCorrupter: [[spoiler:Aleister's]] endgame is to corrupt [[spoiler:Van Helsing.]]

* NumberOfTheBeast: Cardia is [[spoiler:Isaac Beckford's 666th attempt at creating a homunculus.]] The observant may notice the number 666 printed on the sleeve of the clothing she wears at the start of the game. [[spoiler: Of course, it can also be easily missed on the first playthrough, especially since it's printed upside down to look like [[6Is9 999]]. Interestingly, the number 9 in Japanese can be pronounced as "ku" which means "suffering". Considering what our protagonist goes through both prior to and throughout the events of the game, this is very fitting indeed...]]

** It's something of a theme of the game as a whole. Of the five possible love interests, Saint-Germain, Victor, and Van Helsing all have personal reasons to tell Cardia that if she's a monster, ''they'' can equally be considered monsters. In ''Future Blessings'', while [[spoiler:Sholmes]] doesn't go so far as to call himself a monster, he feels as though it's wrong of him to comfort Cardia and encourage her to love herself when she opens up about [[spoiler:Elaine's death]] when he is also guilty of [[spoiler:taking someone's life, particularly since he deliberately did so, whereas Elaine's death was unintentional]].
