12* BewilderingPunishment: From an observer’s point of view, Prince [[spoiler: Gray]] can’t help but wonder why his mother always beats the servant girl [[spoiler: Lucy]].

Who informs Gray that his life is a lie and that he, [[spoiler: Jellal, is the true prince and Lucy is the princess]]. His mother beats [[spoiler: Lucy after failed attempts to get Jellal to summon an artifact]].

Unfortunately, [[spoiler: the reunion is also [[LuredIntoATrap a trap]]]].

22* BrightCastle: The Diamond Castle seems to be made of its namesake. Making it quite bright in the sunlight.

27* CheshireCatGrin: Of course, Wonderland [[spoiler: Happy]] would sport one of these.
28* ChildhoodFriends:
29** Wonderland [[spoiler: Lucy and Erza]] became fast friends when they first encountered one another. More so when [[spoiler: Lucy]] gave [[spoiler: Erza]] [[MakesSenseInContext her name]]. After [[spoiler: Erza’s]] forest home is burned down by Queen [[spoiler: Ur]] in attempt to kill [[spoiler: Lucy]] the two of them set out on a journey with one another which eventually lead the two of them become the top knights of the Fairy Tail Court.

38* {{Determinator}}: Having her wing burned off isn't going to stop [[spoiler: Erza]] from protecting Magnolia and her friends. She soundly beats Prince [[spoiler: Lyon]] once she gets her second wind.
39* DoesNotLikeMagic: The island of Galuna hates magic so much that they would put a little girl into a small boat with no supplies and send her adrift just for having magic. Before that they were throwing things at her.
40* DownTheRabbitHole: A ShoutOut to this in that the mage Natsu and Lucy were fighting fell into a hole made by Virgo. After that he opened a portal overhead that sucked himself along with Natsu and Lucy into Wonderland.
41* TheDreaded:
42** PlayedForLaughs with Knight Erza. There is a reason it’s a tea house instead of bar. She hates alcohol. Although the people still love her because she cares about them and protects them. They just enjoy drinking.
43** The Royal Family of the Kingdom of Hearts. The Queen would kill someone just for breath towards her. Two of her children are even worse, Princess [[spoiler: Ultear]] and Prince [[spoiler: Lyon]] are said to terrorize the civilians.

47** Wonderland [[spoiler: Midnight]] tries to make the protagonist live through their worst nightmares alone. However Earthland Lucy was able to break out of hers and go to each persons dream and help break them out of theirs and bring them along to the next person.
48* EvilCounterpart: Wonderland’s [[spoiler: Ur, Ultear and Lyon]] are quite cruel. And instead of [[spoiler: ice]] magic the whole family, including [[spoiler: Gray]], uses [[spoiler: fire]] magic.
49* TheExile: Wonderland Cana grew up on an island that hated magic. When they saw her magic, they exiled her. Even though she was just a child.
50* {{Expy}}: Obviously with a setting like Wonderland some of the characters are going to share personalities and/or appearances with characters from WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland
51** The monocle mage- is the rabbit
52** [[spoiler: Happy]]- Cheshire Cat
53** [[spoiler: Makarov]]- Mad Hatter
54** [[spoiler: Ur]]- The Queen of Hearts
55* TheEvilPrince: In this case both Prince [[spoiler: Lyon]] and Princess [[spoiler: Ultear]]. [[spoiler: Ultear]] is describe as being even worse then her mother in cruelty. Even their own soldiers are afraid of her.
56* FakeAristocrat: Turns out that [[spoiler: Ur’s]] family has no noble blood.
57* FakeKing: [[spoiler: Ur is not really a Queen]].
58* {{Foil}}: The royal family of the Kingdom of Diamonds and the Fairy Tail Court is kind and fair to its people. The royal family of the Kingdom of Hearts on the other hand rules with an iron fist.
59* ForTheEvulz: Both Princess [[spoiler: Ultear]] and Prince [[spoiler: Lyon]] seem to thrive on this.
60* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: What the people of the Heart Kingdom hope will eventually happen.
61* HairTriggerTemper: Although she seems to have different levels to her rage, it doesn’t seem to take much to get Queen [[spoiler: Ur]] angry. Sadly, when she is mad she would take it out on [[WouldHurtAChild the poor little servant girl]], [[spoiler: Lucy]].
62* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Ultear's]] Space-perspective manipulation can make things that are close seem far away. She even can use it to torture people, as she does with Earthland Lucy. However, this comes back to bite her during a battle in which she is engaged with Lucy's spirits. Under the effect of the magic, to Lucy it looks like it is happening far away, she quickly figures out how to use this to her advantage by dawning the [[LongRangeFighter Sagittarius star dress]] and firing off Star Shot nailing [[spoiler: Ultear]], defeating her in the process.
63* HumansAreBastards: Many spirits seem to view humans as cruel beings that will kill them on sight. However, [[spoiler: Erza’s]] encounter with [[spoiler: Lucy Heart]] makes her believe not all humans can be bad.
64* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Prince [[spoiler: Gray]] is really lonely. His siblings don't play with him. He can’t visit his friend, Prince [[spoiler: Natsu]] anymore because his mother cut diplomatic ties with the Kingdom of Diamonds. When he tried to be one with the servant girl [[spoiler: Lucy]] his mother would beat her. So, he was forced to stop interacting with her so she wouldn’t get hurt.
65* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: Every time [[spoiler: Jellal]] failed to summon the artifact that [[spoiler: Ur]] wants so badly she would take her frustration out on his sister, [[spoiler: Lucy]].
66* IdenticalStranger: Natsu and Lucy are subjected to this and are believed to be impostors by the civilian populace. Being that their Wonderland counterparts are the [[spoiler: Prince and top knight]] of the Kingdom of Diamonds, [[{{Understatement}} they kind of stick out]].
67* {{Irony}}: Its rather ironic that the Kingdom of Diamonds is in a near permanent cold climate but is ruled by a benevolent ruler. While the Kingdom of Hearts is set in a warmer climate while being ruled by a cold bitter queen with the ‘temperament of a child’.
68* IrrationalHatred: It would appear that Wonderland [[spoiler: Ultear]] really hates [[spoiler: Lucy Heart]]. She didn't mind in the slightest that when [[spoiler: Lucy]] was a servant her mother would beat her. Upon meeting [[spoiler: Earthland Lucy]], [[spoiler: Ultear]] says her name with disdain. Why? No reason is given yet. However, given the only know way the two could have interacted was when [[spoiler: Lucy]] was a obedient servant girl, there isn't much reason to hate her. stellahr reveals that [[spoiler: Ultear]] is aware that [[spoiler: Lucy Heart]] is the real princess of the Heart Kingdom so that may play a part in her hate.
69** Queen [[spoiler: Ur]] also hates [[spoiler: Lucy Heart]] given all the beatings she gave her when [[spoiler: Lucy]] was a [[WouldHurtAChild child]].
70* KangarooCourt: Although the top authorities are aware that Natsu and Lucy are from another world they planned to subject them to this for the crime of impersonating the [[spoiler: Prince and a knight]]. They mean no ill will, they just need to do something to quell the civilian population due to rumors that the Kingdom of Hearts might attack. If the trial had happened it would be unlikely anything bad would have happened to the two. In fact, Knight Erza seemed hopeful that they would assist in a possible war.
71* KickTheDog: If she is mad, for any reason, Queen [[spoiler: Ur]] seemed to always take it out on the servant, [[spoiler: Lucy]]. One beating was so bad she left the little girl bleeding.
72* KillItwithFire:
73** When the servant girl [[spoiler: Lucy Heart]] is told that Queen [[spoiler: Ur]] is going to kill her she runs into a forest to get away. The Queen responds by burning the forest down. If it hadn’t been for [[spoiler: Erza]] she may have very well died.
74** Knight [[spoiler: Erza]] is very worried that Prince [[spoiler: Lyon]] will do this to her tree. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that as a Dryad, her lifeforce is connected to it.
75* KnightInShiningArmor: Knight [[spoiler: Lucy Heart]] is devoted to her duty to protect the royal family and the people of the Kingdom of Diamonds. She even shuns her feelings for the Prince, believing her station would not allow her to be with him. Taken literally with her armor glowing.
76* LadyAndKnight: An inversion to this trope as in that Knight [[spoiler: Lucy]] and Prince [[spoiler: Natsu]] fall under it.
77* LetsSplitUpGang: When the Heart Kingdom attacks, Knight [[spoiler: Lucy]] quickly makes this decision. She places Prince [[spoiler: Natsu]] under Earthland Lucy's protection to escape while she and Earthland Natsu go looking for the King.
78* LiarRevealed: [[spoiler: Gray’s]] second conversation with [[spoiler: Jellal]] has it revealed to him that he is living a lie crafted by his mother and that he and the rest of his family are not really royalty.
79* LivingMacGuffin: The whole reason the Heart Kingdom attacked the Diamond Kingdom was so Queen [[spoiler: Ur]] could get her hands on [[spoiler: Lucy Heart]] because she needs [[spoiler: her]] power, along with [[spoiler: her]] brother's, to summon an artifact called the Specter of Light. [[spoiler: Earthland Lucy]] is also needed and she plans to use [[spoiler: Gemini]] to help the process.
80* LonelyRichKid: In this case a lonely prince, Wonderland [[spoiler: Gray’s]] older siblings won’t play with him. His best friend is another prince from another kingdom that his mother cut diplomatic ties with. The only other kid his age in his younger days was a servant girl that his mother hated and would beat often. One such beating happening when he was playing hide and seek with her. So, [[spoiler: Gray]] stopped playing with her so she wouldn’t get hurt as often.
81* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler: Lucy Heart]] finds out that she has an older brother, [[ReallyRoyaltyReveal among other things]].
82* LosingYourHead: In her first encounter with him, Lucy is quite disturbed when Wonderland [[spoiler: Happy’s]] head falls of his body and continues to talk as it rolls around on the ground. Then he puts it back on. Backwards.
83* LoveHurts: Lucy Heart has a slight cynical view of love. Being that she is in love with [[spoiler: Natsu Diamond]] but she is a knight and he is the prince. She scoffs at people find it [[StarCrossedLovers romantic over the rumors]] that Queen [[spoiler: Juvia]] is in love with Prince [[spoiler: Gray]]. The fact that the Heart Kingdom isn’t friendly with the other kingdoms just makes Lucy see it as a relationship that can’t happen and just reminds her of her own pain.
84* MadeASlave: [[spoiler: Lucy Heart]] had a spell placed on her blocking her memories, then Queen [[spoiler: Ur]] turned her into a servant that she beat often. Pretty much a slave.
85* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: Ur]] has used some kind of spell that has everyone believing that she and her family are the rulers of the Heart Kingdom. While the real remaining royal family members are either a prisoner who is constantly tortured, or a servant who is under the spell. When her son, [[spoiler: Gray]], finds out the truth he is not happy.
86* MassHypnosis: See ManipulativeBastard example above.
87* MeaningfulName: Lucy Heart likely gets her title, Golden Knight, from her Golden Armor and Heavenly Light magic. [[spoiler: Her last name is also a big hint to her being the real Princess of the Heart Kingdom]].
88* MistakenIdentity: Prince [[spoiler: Lyon]] mistakes Lucy Heartfilia for her counterpart for [[IdenticalStranger obvious reasons]].
89** Averted with Princess [[spoiler: Ultear]] who is at least aware that she isn't Lucy Heart thanks to a spy.
90* NightmareSequence:
91** Lucy Heart is put through her worse fears and failures through a spell by Midnight. King [[spoiler: Igneel]] questions her treatment of his son, where she held back his progress and not believing in him due to her concern over his condition, as Wonderland [[spoiler: Natsu]] is being beaten by Wonderland [[spoiler: Erza]]. Queen [[spoiler: Ur]] states that her brother has suffered because she ran away. And Wonderland [[spoiler: Jellal]] questions why she left him behind even though she didn't even know about him until recently.
92** All of the protagonist go through this but because Earthland Lucy was able to break from hers so easily she is able to go to each person's dream and help break them out of their nightmare and bring the inflicted with them to the next person.
93* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Earthland Natsu sees no problem in following Wonderland Lucy into her room. She stops him from doing so stating how improper it would be as she is going to be changing. To which Natsu tells her he has seen his Lucy naked plenty of times. She promptly slams the door in his face and is left quite flustered.
94* OurFairiesAreDifferent: There are all kinds of spirits living in Wonderland. [[spoiler: Erza]] happens to be a Dryad. She is able to use magic to take on a human form, hiding her true appearance.
95* ParentalFavoritism: [[spoiler: Ultear]] is [[spoiler: Ur’s]] favorite, much to [[spoiler: Lyon's]] dismay.
96* PlantPerson: In a sense, being a tree spirit makes [[spoiler: Erza]] one.
97* {{Protectorate}}: Knight [[spoiler: Lucy]] is the sworn bodyguard of Prince [[spoiler: Natsu]]. [[BodyguardCrush Being in love with him is probably a good motivation]].
98* RebelPrince: [[spoiler: Gray’s]] first act of rebellion is to sneak into his mother's off-limits room to visit the prisoner [[spoiler: Jellal]] to talk to him and give him food. He sends [[spoiler: Lucy]] away so his mother can’t kill her. By far his biggest is spending years plotting with [[spoiler: Jellal]] to bring down his own mother.
99* ReallyGetsAround: It is stated that all of Queen [[spoiler: Ur’s]] children come from different men.
100* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: [[spoiler: Loke]] reveals that [[spoiler: Lucy Heart]] is the true [[spoiler: Princess]] of the Kingdom of Hearts and that [[spoiler: she]] has an older brother, [[spoiler: Jellal]].
101* RedStringOfFate: Lucy can’t help put note that no matter the world, Earthland, Edolas, Wonderland, she and Natsu always end up as friends and perhaps more.
102* ReignOfTerror: How Queen [[spoiler: Ur]] rules the Kingdom of Hearts.
103* RevengeByProxy: After failed attempts at getting [[spoiler: Jellal to summon an artifact]], [[spoiler: Ur]] would punish him by punishing his sister, [[spoiler: Lucy]], by either beating her or giving her task that would leave her crying.
104* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething:
105** On the darker side, Princess [[spoiler: Ultear]] and Prince [[spoiler: Lyon]] are taking part in the attack on the Diamond Castle and Queen [[spoiler: Ur]] is stated to be going after King [[spoiler: Igneel]].
106** On the lighter side, Prince [[spoiler: Natsu]] clearly wants to assist in the fighting but is limited in what he can do thanks to is aliment. This leaves him feeling useless and humiliated in that it makes him feel that he can't live up to the expectations of his station.
107* TheRunaway: [[spoiler: Lucy Heart]] was a runaway servant girl because Queen [[spoiler: Ur]] was planning to kill her.
108* {{Seers}}: Wonderland Cana can see into the past, present and future.
109* TheScapegoat: What Earthland Lucy and Natsu were to be so the Kingdom of Diamonds’s people could be put at ease due to rumors of a planned attack by the Kingdom of Hearts.
110* SherlockScan: Lucy is able to quickly deduce upon seeing an alternate Natsu and everything that happened moments before that she and her Natsu have been teleported to an AlternateUniverse.
111* ShooTheDog: Upon seeing that his mother is mad enough that she might kill [[spoiler: Lucy]], [[spoiler: Gray]] sends her away. Freeing her of future torment.
112* ShootTheMessenger: You're lead to believe this happened when Earthland Lucy and Prince [[spoiler: Natsu]] see a messenger enter a room and overhear him delivering bad news to Queen [[spoiler: Ur]]. They hear him plead for mercy before something hits the floor. Given the Queen's [[HairTriggerTemper temper]] it is easy to believe she killed him. Upon entering said room soon afterwards, he is found lying unconscious on the ground.
113* SiblingRivalry: Between [[spoiler: Ur’s]] children. More so with [[spoiler: Lyon]] than anything and far less with [[spoiler: Gray]].
114* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Apparently Earthland Lucy was able to break free of the nightmare that Wonderland [[spoiler: Midnight]] put her through because it involved her spirits and her spirits were say things they just wouldn't say so she knew instantly that it was all fake.
115* StormingTheCastle: Kingdom of Heart soldiers attack the Kingdom of Diamonds and somehow infiltrate the castle before anyone knows what’s going on.
116* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: Likely what Prince [[spoiler: Lyon]] feels about his more skilled sister as well as her being their mother’s favorite.
117* TheUsurper: [[spoiler: Loke]] reveals that [[spoiler: Ur]] and her family are not the rightful rulers of the Kingdom of Hearts. [[spoiler: Ur]] somehow overthrew [[spoiler: King Jude and Queen Layla]] to take the throne. Then she imprisoned their oldest child and placed a memory block spell on their youngest.
118* UniqueProtagonistAsset: Being able to summon other beings is unheard of in Wonderland. Making Lucy's celestial magic and spirits especially unique.
119* WellDoneSonGuy: Prince [[spoiler: Lyon]] really wants his mother to acknowledge him.
120* WhiteSheep: Compared to the rest of his family, Prince [[spoiler: Gray]] is an absolute saint. He believes royalty should treat their subjects kindly. Where as his sister is content with their mother abusing one of their servants regularly. When he finds out his mother’s secret, [[spoiler: he takes food to the prisoner, Jellal, and keeps him up to date on his sister’s well-being]]. [[spoiler: He]] sends the servant girl [[spoiler: Lucy]] away at the risk of suffering his mother’s wrath, so she wouldn’t be killed.
121* WingedHumanoid: Knight [[spoiler: Erza’s]] true from gives her fairy wings.
122* WouldHurtAChild: Queen [[spoiler: Ur]] has zero qualms about beating the young [[spoiler: Lucy Heart]].
