16	%%* BelligerentSexualTension: With Aidan.
17	* BrattyTeenageDaughter / RoyalBrat: She acts like a bit of one at first, such as whining that her parents are "ruining her life". However, when she realises they were only trying to keep her safe, she snaps out of it pretty quickly.
18	* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: First she sneaks out to go ice skating and is permanently grounded by her parents. Then she sneaks out again and everyone in her kingdom gets turned to stone.

24	* DefiantToTheEnd: When Wenlock is about to bury her under a small avalanche, she simply glares defiantly at him.

32	* PimpedOutDress: She magically gets one at the end, [[spoiler: when she breaks all of Wenlock's spells with the Wand]].
33	* PinkMeansFeminine / PrincessesPreferPink: A few of her outfits are pink, such as the dark pink sweater she wears in her first scene and her light pink party dress. She also owns pink ice skates, which she later trades for information on the gem of ice.
34	* PluckyGirl: She is almost always brave and determined, even when things look pretty bleak, and her motto is to never give up hope.
35	* PrincessClassic: Played with--while Annika's beautiful, kind and has an animal companion, she's also a more [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething active]] and [[RebelliousPrincess rebellious]] example of this trope.
36	* {{Protectorate}}: For Brietta.

She instead TakesAThirdOption by trying to build the Wand of Light. It's only when the Wand seems to fail that she reluctantly agrees to marry him, but this is only temporary.
42	* SnarkToSnarkCombat: A little bit with Aidan.
43	* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: One of Annika's biggest flaws is that she doesn't always think she before acts, leading her to do or say things she comes to regret. [[CharacterDevelopment She gets better about this]].
44	* UptownGirl: For Aidan (it's [[MaybeEverAfter heavily implied]] they become a couple in the end).

67	* TookALevelInIdealism: Annika's optimism and {{Determinator}} attitude starts to rub off her and she becomes a lot more hopeful over the course of the film.

153	----
154	* AngerBornOfWorry: They angrily reprimand Annika for constantly sneaking out to go ice skating, and the King ultimately forbids her from skating entirely, insisting that it's for her own safety.

170	----
171	* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: He tries to propose to Annika the second he arrives in her kingdom, and when she understandably refuses, he turns her parents and the rest of the citizens to stone in an attempt to force her into agreeing.

175	* {{Glamour}}: [[spoiler: When Annika uses the Wand of Light to break all his spells, Wenlock's real form is revealed to be a short, balding man swinging a paddle around, and his griffon is a scrawny cat.]]
176	* ItsAllAboutMe: Wenlock's only concerns are his own selfish desires, and completely dismisses the feelings of anyone else around him.
177	* MarkOfTheSupernatural: He has one gold eye and one blue eye.
178	* PragmaticVillainy: Wenlock decides Annika is more trouble than she's worth when [[spoiler: she tries to kill him with the Wand of Light,]] and decides to [[spoiler: just bury her in an avalanche]] rather than marry her.
179	* PungeonMaster: He has a penchant for making puns after casting particular spells, most notably saying [[spoiler: "You'll see I'm not ''horsing'' around." just before turning Brietta into a pegasus.]]
180	* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Wenlock is a G-rated sexual predator. He goes from kingdom to kingdom, forcing women to accept his hand in marriage or face awful consequences. He introduces himself by turning everyone in the kingdom to stone and giving Annika three days to accept his proposal before the spell becomes permanent. Before the film began, he transformed Brietta into the titular pegasus when her parents refused his proposal, and [[spoiler: turned three women unlucky enough to actually marry him into mute, goblin-like slaves after getting bored with them.]] He nearly kills Brietta in front of her own sister, and buries Annika alive in an avalanche when she stands up for her family.
