'''Basic Trope''': An artificial mark on a slave's body that identifies one as such.
* '''Straight''': Sally the Slave has a branded 'S' on her left shoulder. This is the adknowledged mark of a slave in her country, Tropestan.
* '''Exaggerated''': Sally has the word "[[AllCaps SLAVE]]" on big letters tattooed on six different parts of her body.
* '''Downplayed''': Sally wears a SlaveCollar.
* '''Justified''':
** The brand identifies Sally's owner and makes it more difficult that she escapes (or gets "stolen" by other slaver).
** The brand is part of a Tropestani slave's ritual "breaking" and makes them more likely [[HeroicBSOD to accept]] [[HappinessInSlavery their status]].
* '''Inverted''': Misty the Mistress has a mark tattooed on her arm for each slave she owns.
* '''Subverted''': Sally's burn was an accident and it resembles a letter by random chance.
* '''Double Subverted''': Enough to be mistaken for a real slave brand, leading to Sally being captured by slave catchers and sold in the market (now with an R for runaway on the other shoulder).
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Sally the Slave is not branded.
