Hair of Gold: He's a blond and very sympathetic.
Princely Young Man: Well, female-bodied man, but otherwise fits the trope. He's pretty much the incarnation of the Yamato Nadeshiko type, if you wonder.

Parental Favoritism: Claudine is clearly his favorite child, since he's the most similar to Auguste himself.

Character Development: By the end of the manga, she's accepted that Claudine will never love her and claims to bear no hard feelings towards him, choosing to support him no matter what.

The Mourning After: After Claudine's death, she never stopped loving and caring for him, and at the end, she was visiting his grave in the snow.
Unlucky Childhood Friend: In regards to Claudine.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Had she not told Louis about Cecilia's affair with Auguste, things would've not gone worse for everyone involved as it did in the end...

Break the Cutie: Poor Maura! It's hard not to feel sorry for her, specially when she realizes that her first paycheck never arrived home and when her dad dies all of a sudden.
Country Mouse: Her parents worked as retainers for the Montesse family, and she was even born in the main house (with little!Claudine holding newborn!Maura in his arms). Then they moved back to a nearby village, and Maura came to work to the main home...
