Meme: Tropes!
So we haven't done this one since September, and I've never posted a meme before but I am bored, dammit. Stolen from
decoder_rings :
A trope, for our purposes, is a recognizable concept or pattern of behavior used in fiction. Tropes are not necessarily cliches. Cliches, by definition, are trite; tropes are simply an expectation, and can be used in fresh and unique ways. For example, "Rags to Riches" is a popular trope that everyone recognizes -- Sometimes it's done well, sometimes not.
Your challenge, should you accept it, is to trawl the TV Tropes Wiki and find five tropes that fit your character. Comment here listing the tropes and explain why you chose them. Others familiar with your character can then offer additional tropes they feel are appropriate.
SO GO FORTH AND TROPE IT UP.

Sam Puckett
- Action Girl -- She's the one who takes down the security guards, rival comedians, bullies, crazed food television stars. . . .
- Big Eater -- seriously, she's got the metabolism of a hummingbird
- Comedic Sociopath -- Her best friend has to tell her not to kidnap people
- Evil Twin -- Her twin sister Melanie is nice, sweet, caring, and earned her full ride to private school with good grades, rather than court orders.
- Karma Houdini -- Oh, sure, she'll get detention, and sometimes even arrested, but for the most part? Sam just breezes on through doing things like installing potentially lethal alarm systems in her locker that blow out the fuses of the school
- She Cleans Up Nicely -- My girl's a beauty queen. I'm not even kidding.
OKAY SO I WENT WITH SIX INSTEAD OF FIVE. I still had to narrow it down to these.Edited for prettier formatting. I'll stop now, I swear.
