History WesternAnimation / PrincessSissi

* MeaningfulName: Sissi's horse's name means "turbulent wind" in German.

!!Tropes related to the series:

* CatchPhrase: Tina's cute "Simple as that!" Also, Fritz's ridiculous "My golly!", which is mocked when Sissi tries to expose him.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Sissi seems to suffer from it, rescuing a girl from a roof and Helene among others even when inconvenient.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Young Tommy, Sissi's friend and most regular sidekick, was raised in a Bavarian orphanage before running away to live in the forest. [[spoiler:He and his father finally find each other in episode 43, although they do not realize it until 47.]]
* CountryMouse: Sissi

* GoldDigger: Helene wants to marry Franz to be the Empress.

* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchess_Helene_in_Bavaria Helene.]] In RealLife, after an HeroicBSOD that almost had her becoming a nun, Nene actually got over Franz and was HappilyMarried to the Prince of Thurn Und Taxis (And not to mention, she and Sissi were close enough to have Sissi right next to Nene's deathbed when she died). In the series, she's an ungrateful and clingy GoldDigger who ''hates'' Sissi with all of her soul and won't stop causing trouble to her.
** Don't forget that historical Helene was Elisabeth's ''sister'', while the series denied their relation for the sake of turning the former one into an AlphaBitch Sissi's {{Rival}}.

* ObviouslyEvil: One should really wonder why Empress Sophia trusts Councillor Zotornick so blindly, given his pale scrawny face, EvilEyebrows, [[BaldOfEvil bald]] head and his [[EvilSoundsDeep deep sounding voice]]. [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/princess-sissi/images/5/5c/Councillor_Zottornick.png/revision/latest?cb=20130817092650 He really looks like someone you should trust blindly, don't you think?]]

* PetTheDog: Empress Sophia is a snobbish ControlFreak who adheres to protocol like a religion, but she has been known to show leniency when humbled or impressed enough. She improves vastly in episode 45, when she finally approves of Sissi and becomes more open to breaking tradition.

* PluckyGirl: Sissi

* PuppetKing: What Councillor Zotornick tries to turn Empress Sophia into. The reason he is so against Sissi marrying Franz is because he knows he can't control her so easily.

* UngratefulBastard: Helene, even after Sissi saves her from drowning.

* AristocratsAreEvil: Arkas holds the title of Count and it is one the two main villains of the series.

* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: Not so much with Sissi, who was beautiful to begin with, but Franz and others are really {{egregious}} cases.

Compare ''LibertysKids'', an American series with similar animation and [[HistoricalFiction genre]], and ''Theatre/{{Elisabeth}}'', a deeply cynical (but [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane possibly more fantastic]]) musical also based on Elisabeth of Bavaria.

* HeyItsThatVoice: If you saw it on Creator/{{Teletoon}}, it's easy to tell that Sissi's voice is the same as Anime/SailorMoon's.

* GildedCage: One episode title refers to this, as when Sissi is alone as royalty without Franz, she's trapped into learning dull manners.

* BigBadEnsemble: Arkas and Zottornick. They are both two of the few villains or antagonists not to undergo a HeelFaceTurn and are the ones who are defeated in the climax of the final episode.

* ObnoxiousInLaws: Mean old Queen Sophie, constantly coming up with other brides for Franz.
