Basic Trope: Someone has supernatural experiences while on their period.
- Straight: After getting her period, Alice becomes a werewolf.
- Exaggerated: All of the characters have weird things happen to them whenever they get their period.
- Downplayed: All Periods Are PMS, for regular periods that don't go so well.
- Justified: For whatever reason, werewolves in this universe really do have transformations triggered by periods rather than the full moon.
- Inverted: The week Alice has her period is the one time she isn't a werewolf.
- Gender Inverted: Weird things happen to Bob whenever he gets a boner.
- Subverted:
- It turns out that Alice just coincidentally had her period on the full moon.
- Werewolf Alice is merely Charles having an Imagine Spot based on how her periods are described by Bob.
- Double Subverted:
- Still, having her period does seem to have an effect on her abilities as a werewolf.
- The Imagine Spot is pretty darn close to the truth.
- Parodied: Alice is merely having All Periods Are PMS, but the work treats it like she's becoming a werewolf.
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted:
- No Periods, Period
- Nothing abnormal happens to anyone on their period.
- Enforced: "Periods suck, right? Let's show just how bad they really are."
- Lampshaded: "So, every time you have a period, something weird happens to you?"
- Invoked: Someone curses Alice so that her period causes supernatural events.
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Alice either gets her uterus removed or gets medication to stop her period, preventing her from transforming her into a werewolf.
- Discussed: "Yeah, I'm not looking forward to that time of the month."
- Conversed: "I wonder why weird things tend to happen to people on their periods."
