1 | '''Basic Trope''': An ActionGirl with a forceful personality who uses offensive magic. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Marcy is a {{Tsundere}}ish HotWitch who fights [[PlayingWithFire with fire]] and is contrasted with [[WhiteMage healer]] [[MysteriousWaif Melody.]] |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Marcy is a DarkActionGirl who fights by [[StuffBlowingUp blowing things up with her mind.]] [[SociopathicHero Cackling gleefully the whole time.]] |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': Marcy is a literal IceQueen (who does not suffer [[SurroundedByIdiots "fools"]] lightly) and ''can'' use her powers constructively (such as by building temporary bridges or cover), but prefers to fight with them. |
5 | * '''Justified''': PersonalityPowers are a rule of the universe. |
6 | * '''Inverted''': |
7 | ** The healer is the feisty one, while Marcy is [[TheIngenue sweet]] and [[ShrinkingViolet shy.]] |
8 | ** WhiteMagicianGirl |
9 | ** Alex is a GentlemanWizard, who is calm and cool even when he fights [[PlayingWithFire with fire]]. |
10 | * '''GenderInverted''': Alex is a HotBlooded guy who fights [[PlayingWithFire with fire]]. |
11 | * '''Subverted''': You'd think with [[{{Tsundere}} Marcy's]] [[HotBlooded personality]] and [[{{Stripperiffic}} looks]] she'd be the attack mage, but she's a BarrierWarrior instead. |
12 | * '''Double Subverted''': |
13 | ** ...until [[MagikarpPower she gains experience and becomes the magic powerhouse]]. |
14 | ** Marcy can crush, bludgeon, or otherwise attack enemies with her barriers. |
15 | * '''Parodied''': Marcy attacks with her MagicWand. By hitting people with it, that is. |
16 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Marcy has mood swings. Sometimes, she is sweet and friendly, other times, she is rather rude. |
17 | * '''Averted''': |
18 | ** The designated BlackMage of the team is Heinrich the [[BlackKnight dark knight]] who [[MagicKnight fights with a hammer]] and is noticeably male. |
19 | ** Marcy is an ActionGirl who fights with her fists. |
20 | * '''Enforced''': |
21 | ** "We need [[AnAdventurerIsYou a nuker in the player's party]] and we need [[AffirmativeActionGirl more female characters.]] How about a female mage? |
22 | ** The creators want an ActionGirl, but ExecutiveMeddling has a [[WouldNotHitAGirl no woman-hitting policy.]] This trope is an easy compromise because as a GlassCannon, she is dish out a lot of damage while her frail body means someone else has to take the hit instead. |
23 | * '''Lampshaded''': |
24 | ** "What, do I look like the healing type to you?" |
25 | ** "Oh, come on, when have I been irrationally violent? I mean, within the last... um... Half an hour?" |
26 | * '''Invoked''': Marcy exists in a world populated with PersonalityPowers and intentionally cultivates her forceful personality to gain access to her superior [[PlayingWithFire firepower]] |
27 | * '''Exploited''': The {{Leader}} of the group especifically looks for a short and HotBlooded mage because that will mean she is the better suited for TheBigGuy role. |
28 | * '''Defied''': |
29 | ** Marcy is an ActualPacifist and refuses to learn magic meant to hurt people. |
30 | ** Otherwise, [[TheQuietOne Ro]][[GeniusBruiser ma]][[TheBigGuy ji]] is ordered by the no-nonsense Hiro to choke her to near unconsciousness to let her know that this team isn't for fucking around. |
31 | --> [[TheLeader Hiro]]: Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk... Day one and already starting shit? Not a good impression.\ |
32 | Marcy: Ack! I... I get it!\ |
33 | Hiro: Good. Don't you dare do it ever again. Romaji, put her down. |
34 | * '''Discussed''': |
35 | ** "Ah -- she blew up the dragon. Don't get on her bad side, boys." |
36 | ** Romaji is seen being more aloof and cold around her, seemingly despising her. This conversation comes into play: |
37 | --> [[TheLancer Lance]]: Romaji? You uh... Alright?\ |
38 | Romaji: ...\ |
39 | Lance: Shit, he's always been like this ever since we got Marcy on board.\ |
40 | Hiro: Ah, don't worry. [[DefrostingIceQueen Romaji's definitely gonna warm up to her]]. [[TemptingFate Right Romaji]]? |
41 | * '''Conversed''': "Holy crap, did she just turn Evulz into a toad?" "Yup." |
42 | * '''Implied''': Marcy is a side character who is not shown fighting, but she recalls a NoodleIncident where she blew a dragon up. |
43 | * '''Deconstructed''': Marcy can destroy towns with little effort, and she has an extremely short temper. She leaves a wake of ruin wherever she goes, and no one has the nuts to call her out. Then, after a particularly bad outburst, she's out of energy when the army of Emperor Evulz attacks. |
44 | * '''Reconstructed''': |
45 | ** Marcy is extremely destructive and short tempered, but her friends are always there to remind her to save her powers for the real bad guys. |
46 | ** See Defied 2. |
47 | * '''Played For Laughs''': A couple of {{Mooks}} [[AmusingInjuries learn the hard way]] that it'd be a bad idea to [[MuggingTheMonster attack Marcy.]] |
48 | * '''Played For Drama''': Marcy is a GlassCannon due to her abilities, which puts her in a lot of danger if she's left vulnerable in combat. |
49 | * '''Plot Foundation''': Marcy using PersonalityPowers makes her a much easier character to comprehend, since she uses a visual metaphor every time her magic comes into play. |
