Meme: Tropes!

[dollpocalypse]

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.

Yeah, my trouble here is limiting it to five.

• Action Girl (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ActionGirl) -- Kate can kick your ass... And yours, and your mom's.
  
• Harmful to Minors (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HarmfulToMinors) -- At the age of ten her parent-figure paid a guy $500 to kill her. The guy lost, so he brought out the next guy.
  
• Deadpan Snarker (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeadpanSnarker)
  
• Offing The Offspring (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OffingTheOffspring) -- she's spent most of her life on the run from her biological father, because he can and will kill her if he gets his hands on her.
  
• Impossibly Cool Weapon (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ImpossiblyCoolWeapon) -- Slayer. Smokes and drips magic, and slices through vampires like butter.
