History PlayingWith / ArmedLegs

** Unarmed Legs - Alice, the group's resident KickChick, always fights barefooted. She even discards whatever footwear she might be wearing ([[DoesNotLikeShoes or might not wear it at all]]) before starting to kick ass.

'''Basic Trope''': Shoes that double as (or [[TrickedOutShoes have mounted]]) weapons on it.

* '''Straight''': Alice, the group's resident KickChick, wears a pair of boots with blades mounted on its shins.

* '''Enforced''': "It was required for every playable character on the game to have a distinctive weapon, and [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters with this hefty amount of characters]], it was matter of time before we had to give someone the boot mounted blades."

** Safety steel reinforced boots, usually worn to protect against industrial accidents being used in combat, either because Alice is an ActionSurvovor who was attacked in a factory, or because a steel reinforced kick hurts more than a normal kick.

** Alice's shoes shoes are [[IncrediblyLamePun stilettos]].

* '''Downplayed''': ???

* '''Deconstructed''':
** Alice's weaponry malfunctions one day leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.
** Alternatively, her footwear-centric fighting style leaves some glaringly obvious weaknesses, such as not being able to attack while in motion, that her enemies learn to exploit.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** She re-enters the team using mechanical legs and new weaponry
** Alice knows where the weaknesses in her fighting style are, and continually works to anticipate how her opponents might try to take advantage of them so that she's prepared to counter whatever they try.

* '''Discussed''': "I wonder if the gun ever goes off while she's running..."
* '''Conversed''': "Alice, why does your shoe have a gun on it?"
-->'''[[CombatPragmatist Alice]]''': "Why doesn't yours?"

** Alice's arms are injured (or lost), requiring her to fight with her legs.

* '''Justified''': As a good ExtremityExtremist, Alice needs a weapon that adapts well to her [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer favored fighting style]].

* '''Inverted''': Unarmed Legs - Alice, the group's resident KickChick, always fights barefooted. She even discards whatever footwear she might be wearing ([[DoesNotLikeShoes or might not wear it at all]]) before starting to kick ass.

* '''Double Subverted''': ...But on a particularly difficult fight, Alice attaches the knives to her boots' soles as a [[ImprovisedWeapon impromptu measure]] to improve her kicks damage.

* '''Parodied''': Alice can kick away her shoes to hit her opponents from incredibly long distances, after which they automatically return to reattach to her feet by themselves.

* '''Deconstructed''': Alice's weaponry malfunctions one day leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

* '''Reconstructed''': She re-enters the team using mechanical legs and new weaponry

* '''Lampshaded''': "And I thought her [[GroinAttack infamous nutcracker kick]] [[TemptingFate couldn't get any worse]]!"

* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Despite favoring a fighting style based on kicks, Alice doesn't wear special footwear to applify her kicking power. In any case, a pair of resistant boots is good enough for her.
