6	!!Lennox family
7	[[folder:As a whole]]
8	!!!Tropes that apply to all three
9	* TheBeautifulElite: Mary's parents were wealthy and would often wear {{Gorgeous Period Dress}}es. Their hobbies were throwing parties to socialize with their fellow elite.
10	* ColorMotif: Purple. While in India, Mary mainly wore a purple frilly dress, and when we see Mr. and Mrs. Lennox for the first time, they're also wearing fancy purple garments. It could be a nod to how in RealLife, purple was a colour associated with the aristocrats and the wealthy.
11	* ForeignCultureFetish: The Lennoxes are British, but had a fascination with India and moved there. Mary was born some time later.
12	* HappilyMarried: Mary's parents were this, for all their flaws. They truly loved each other, and died together.
13	* ParentalAbandonment: Mary's parents viewed her as a burden and refused to properly interact with her. Instead, they would often attend fancy parties and hang out with other rich people.
14	* ParentalNeglect: Mr. and Mrs. Lennox were barely present in Mary's life, if at all. Though at the start, Mary is seen singing a song and then thinking of both her mother and her nanny but not about her dad, so make of that what you will.
15	* PlotTriggeringDeath: After Mr. and Mrs. Lennox die of cholera, Mary is left orphaned and has to move to Yorkshire, England, to live with her uncle.
16	* RichBitch:
17	** Mary was often grumpy, rude and entitled towards her servants. After she has a JerkassRealization, she feels awful about her actions.
18	** Mr. and Mrs. Lennox refused to properly raise and care for Mary because they thought their leisure time was more important. Their solution was to instead throw money at servants to do it for them. They have no concern about their child's upbringing and welfare.
19	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Mary inherited Mrs. Lennox's blonde locks.
20	* WeHardlyKnewYe: When they die, Mary doesn't feel anything because they never interacted with her.

29	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the book, Mary hit her servants and screamed insults at them, and when Martha spoke back to her, she was actually shocked. In the anime, she's still a SpoiledBrat, but doesn't harm her servants and is more mild-mannered. She's also more open to changing as a person, and has a MoralityPet in Paddy.
30	* AgeLift: Mary here is 9 years old, but was older in the book.
31	* AnimalCompanion: Paddy the cat, who doubles as her OnlyFriend from when she lived in India. He was the only other person Mary showed kindness to before her CharacterDevelopment.
32	* AnimalLover: She was initially only close to her cat, Paddy, and was scared of other kinds of animals. However, Dickon, who's friends with all the WoodlandCreatures and a NatureLover to the core, helped her get over her fear of sheep, and she likewise befriended all the animals of the garden.
33	* BelatedChildDiscipline: Because her parents didn't want to raise her, Mary Lennox was pampered by servants all her life. When her parents died and she was sent to her uncle's manor in Yorkshire, she found that the servants there were less willing to put up with her spoiled attitude, and became more independent.
34	* BlitheSpirit: Despite being moody at first, Mary's presence turns the whole Craven mansion upside down, as she eventually finds out she has a love for animals as well as people, and wants to help Ben heal the garden. Spending time with Ben and Dickon inspires her to be more social, hence her willingness to befriend anyone she meets, be it social recluse Camila or the stoic tutor Helen. Camila in particular is touched by little Mary's optimism, and happily welcomes her as a friend.
35	* CompositeCharacter: Mary here is more of a GenkiGirl and more playful, like Martha from the original novel. The anime's adaptation of Martha is also more serious than her book counterpart.

41	* ExtremelyProtectiveChild: To Camila. Mary views her as a big sister, and though she's learned how to become a calmer and nicer person since moving to England, seeing the townspeople scream and insult her causes her fiery temper to rise again. She also stands in front of Camila's house when the AngryMob try to burn it down, saying that she'll go down with her.
42	* GenkiGirl: Mary is upbeat, always smiling, loves to play with animals and always ready to befriend anyone, no matter how aloof they are. Her kindness is what brings the staff of the Craven Mansion together at the garden.
43	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: While Mary was intially a RichBitch who behaved horribly, post-CharacterDevelopment she turns into this, as she becomes more kind and encouraging, and helps the people around her improve as well.
44	* HiddenHeartOfGold: Mary wasn't a bad person, but years of never being treated with proper love and care left her a cold and selfish person. If it wasn't for Dickon reaching out to her and Ben encouraging her to follow her passion of gardening, she would have remained that way.
45	* HeartwarmingOrphan: Despite being a SpoiledBrat, Mary was able to show empathy to people who also suffered tragedies, like Ben's loneliness after the death of Lilias and Camila's isolation from the other townspeople. She decides to help people to confront their demons and be a good friend to them, making her this trope.
46	* ImStandingRightHere: When she's on the ship, the other kids tease Mary for her aloof nature and make up an insulting rhyme based on her name. Mary scowls at them and eventually hollers at them to go away, which excites them even more.
47	* InnocentBlueEyes: Mary has very bright, crystal-clear blue eyes. She's also an innocent GenkiGirl.
48	* LonelyRichKid: Mary's parents had a lot of friends and would frequently socialize with their fellow [[TheBeautifulElite Beautiful Elite]], but Mary had no one else apart from her servants and Paddy.
49	* MirrorCharacter: Towards Colin. Both children were deprived of proper socialization due to their life circumstances, but Mary was able to break out of her mold, while Colin is more restrained by it.
50	* NatureLover: Mary was initially reserved about going outside, but when Ben introduced her to the Craven's beautiful garden, it fascinated her and began caring for it.
51	* NiceToTheWaiter: Mary. considers Martha a close friend. Despite her hot headed nature, Mary sees the reason in Martha critiques of her behaviour and acts accordingly.
52	* ParentalSubstitute: While she lived in British India, Mary had a personal maid-servant who looked after her.
53	* PerpetualFrowner: Very much in the first arc. She had a permanent scowl on her face, especially towards Martha and Medlock, rebuffing all their attempts at getting close to her.
54	* PrettyButterflies: Mary uses butterfly clips as hair decorations.
55	* SpoiledBrat: Years of being raised by servants has turned her into a selfish little snot. After she has a JerkassRealization, she realizes that she needs to change and be a better person.

71	* EnglishRose: Mrs. Lennox places great importance on her social image, and presents herself as this to her fellow socialites. It's to the point most of her friends don't even know she had a daughter.
72	* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: In the anime, she's seen wearing a purple gown.
73	* {{Ojou}}: Mrs. Lennox is an EnglishRose variant. She was a wealthy Englishwoman who lived in a house full of servants.

80	* BigFancyHouse: The Craven mansion is a large, castle-like building with a beautiful garden. It's so spacious that Mary easily gets lost there when she's new.
81	* BigScrewedUpFamily: Archibald is a cruel man who's feared by his employees and assaulted Max. He also neglects his only child, Colin. His in-laws, the Lennoxes, are also self-centered and chose to hand their only daughter away to servants rather than raise her, which lead to her being haughty and spoiled. Mary eventually breaks out of it, and realizes that the family will fall apart if they don't stop being dysfunctional.
82	* HappilyMarried: Archibald and Lilias were soulmates and after her death, Archibald continued to remember her with a photograph in his locket.
83	* ParentalNeglect: Colin reminded Archibald too much of his dead wife, so he ignored him for years instead to alleviate his grief. Though he does try to visit Colin once.
84	* MayDecemberRomance: Between Archibald and Lillias. Lillias was ''much'' younger than Archibald (she looked no older than 25 while the younger Archibald looked almost exactly like his present and older self save for his still not white hair), [[HappilyMarried yet they still clearly adored each other.]] It would explain a lot about how hard he took her death.
85	* MeaningfulName: At the time the original book was written, Craven was an informal word for "weakling", and Colin is an IllBoy while Lilias died in childbirth.
86	* MissingMom: Colin's mom Lillias is painted as MessianicArchetype and [[FromBadToWorse things got horrible in the manor]] [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth immediately after she died]].

99	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's sour, mean and a little hot-tempered. However, he also secretly really cares for Mary and is happy that she invites him to spend time with her at the garden.
100	* LonelyRichKid: Like Mary, he was born into wealth and restricted by it since the day he was born. Though in his case, it's more complicated as he has an illness - he couldn't go outside even if he wanted to.
101	* MirrorCharacter: He's Mary if her horrible attitude went unchecked.
102	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: In the GrandFinale, Colin, upon seeing Archibald, instantly steps out of the wheelchair to confront him. Mary expresses shock for him and tells him it's too dangerous, but Dickon stops her for intervening and says that it's something Colin has to do on his own. Seeing Colin walk for the first time shakes Archibald as he has a JerkassRealization]].
103	* ParentalAbandonment: His father neglects him because he's swamped by his grief of losing his mother.
104	* ParentalSubstitute: Mrs. Medlock and his nurse play this role for him because Archibald treats him with indifference at best.

112	* AristocratsAreEvil: [[spoiler: He's haughty, selfish, neglects his own son, and subjected Max and Camila to extreme abuse when they were employed under him. Max taking a hefty chunk of his wealth at the end of the anime seems almost karmic]].

114	* BrokenTears: [[spoiler: After he decides not to commit suicide and Max forgives him]].
115	* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: When it seems [[ImpoverishedPatrician Archibald]] is about to lose the manor to Hawkins and be economically ruined]], he makes arrangements for Mary and Colin's caretaking and gets ready to blow his brains off with a gun while staring at a picture of his dear Lillias.

129	* DeathByChildbirth: This was how she went out bearing Colin.
130	* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: While the Lennoxes were a pair of neglectful twits, Lilias was a kind and caring woman. She suffered an injury shortly before Colin was due and died later.

132	* GreenThumb: Lilias, Ben and Camila would often care for the garden together.
133	* TheLostLenore: After her death, Archibald went through a mental breakdown and shut himself off from everyone. He's so traumatized from her death he can't even look at their son, Colin, because he reminds him of her.
134	* NiceToTheWaiter: She took Camila under her wing and the two grew into best friends very quickly.
135	* PinkIsFeminine: In Ben's flashback, she wore a pink dress with a rose at the collar and a pink bow in her hair.

140	[[/folder]]
141	!!Sowerby Family
142	[[folder:As a whole]]
143	* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
144	** Dickon doesn't tease Mary by singing "Mary, mary, quite contrary..." like in the book. Then again, Mary here is also a NiceGirl, removing the need for that.
145	** Martha's racism towards Indian people (who she called "blacks") is cut out.
146	* AgeLift: In the book, Martha and Dickon were teenagers. In the anime they're about Mary's age.
147	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Martha, Dickon and the other Sowerbys have darker skin than most of the other characters.

152	* RaceLift: Dickon and Martha were white in the book (Martha even expressed shock at the presence of dark skin) but in the anime, they both have tanned skin. It's likely because both of them regularly do hard work under the sun, as Camila (who is explicitly confirmed to be a [[UsefulNotes/{{Romani}} person of colour]]) is subject to frequent racism and excluded by the village, while they aren't.
153	* SingleMindedTwins: The Sowerby children include a pair of unnamed twins that are always seen together and act near-identical.

160	* AnimalLover: Dickon loves animals and acts as an intermediary of sorts between them and Mary, helping her get over her fear of various WoodlandCreatures. The animals love him so much that birds treat him like a perch and even frenzied animals calm down in his presence.
161	* BrattyHalfPint: He loves teasing Mary and the other staff. Martha often admonishes him for it.
162	* CheerfulChild: He treats the Craven Mansion like a second home, and happily befriends Mary. He's always eager to play with her and encourages her to ride horses and play with sheep, just like he does.
163	* CompositeCharacter: While Anime!Mary inherited Literature!Martha's GenkiGirl traits, Anime!Dickon inherited her CoolBigSis traits and acts as a guiding force to Mary, helping her settle in England.
164	* DubNameChange: In the Italian dub, his name is changed to '''Dick'''.
165	* FarmersDaughter: A male example as he's close to nature, from a poor working-class background and a [[FriendToAllLivingThings friend to all animals]]. His CheerfulChild nature rubs off on Mary.
166	* FlowersOfFemininity: Gender-inverted with Dickon, who's a boy but loves flowers and gardening.
167	* FriendToAllLivingThings: He loves all sorts of animals, including cats, squirrels, dogs, rabbits, foxes, birds and mice, and also helps Mary tend to the garden. He's also supportive of Colin's health getting better, and helps Mary defend an innocent woman from the AngryMob.
168	* GreenThumb: Dickon helps Mary tend to the garden and grow beautiful flowers.
169	* InHarmonyWithNature: Like his book counterpart, Dickon is more in tune with flora and fauna than humans.
170	* NatureLover: Dickon has a GreenThumb and is a friend to all animals. He ropes Mary into becoming this too, starting by having her befriend sheep.
171	* PromotedToLoveInterest: Dickon and Mary are implied to have feelings for each other despite not being romantically inclined in the book (which is actually a quite common standard amongst adapations of the book, as shown by ''Film/TheSecretGarden1993'').

180	* AdaptationalSeriousness: Martha is a sterner older sister to Dickon and warns him to stay out of mischief. In the book, she was more of a CoolBigSis that loved to {{Troll}} Mary.
181	* BeleauguredBabysitter: On the very second day she meets Mary, Mary wanders off and goes missing. It's only thanks to Camila she makes it back. Poor Martha had been looking for Mary for hours.
182	* BigSisterInstinct: She's very protective of Dickon and always keeps him in check.
183	* BrutalHonesty: Ouch, one thing the anime kept from the book is that Martha will ''not'' beat around the bush and tell it to you straight. She tells Mary she's a SpoiledBrat for not knowing how to dress herself and makes her feel embarassed about it, and also calls out Dickon for wanting to mess around instead of work.
184	* GoodIsNotNice: She'll openly critisize Mary and question her upbringing, but that doesn't mean she won't help her and support her when she needs it. Even Mary concedes Martha is right a few times.

213	* CoolOldGuy: He's practically a second father figure for Mary, Colin and Dickon and they intently listen to his advice.
214	* CrustyCaretaker: Ever since Lilian's death, he's been sadder and distant, but Mary's arrival changes that.
215	* GreenThumb: His specialty is gardening and caring for Lilias' garden.
216	* OldRetainer: He has fond memories of Lilias long after her death and for her sake, makes sure the Craven's garden is in good shape. This is also why he's happy when Mary and Dickon tell him they want to help out.
217	* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: He refuses to abandon the garden as per Archibald's orders and honours Lilias' words to the very end.
218	* TeamDad: Despite his gruff exterior, he's very gentle when communicating to Mary, and continues this kindness towards Colin and Dickon. He unwittingly becomes this trope as he leads them to bring back Lilias' garden.
