Meme: Tropes!
I'm bored. It's Friday. What better way to cap off a week than a third meme and wasting time on the TV Tropes website? Yes. You may yell at me now for linking you. But since we haven't done this since last September I figure we're due.
Stolen from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
decoder_rings:
So hit the trope website for hours, come up with five (or more) tropes that apply to your characters and then come back here and yell at me for linking you to the Tropes website.
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 hit the trope website for hours, come up with five (or more) tropes that apply to your characters and then come back here and yell at me for linking you to the Tropes website.
no subject
Badass Normal (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassNormal): While most of these tropers are completely badass (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty) or crazy prepared (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrazyPrepared) (See: Bruce Wayne), Jack is just in the category because he seems to somehow survive the most insane circumstances.
US Marshal (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/USMarshal): Technically he was a US Marshall. But he's listed in the trope. I'm keeping it.
Chew Toy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheChewToy): Jack is totally Eureka's bitch.
Cassandra Truth (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CassandraTruth): This is another staple of the show. For example:
Jack: Guys! My car just got hit by a meteor!/My car just melted!/My car just got hit by a satellite!/Is floating! I think something screwy happened with one of the previously mentioned experiments at General Dynamics!
Rest of the cast: That's crazy! Our experiments wouldn't do anything like that!
Jack: Um. Why not?
Rest of the cast: Oh! Wait! It did do something crazy! Now you have to fix it. Here: Take this large explosive and go blow up the black hole/redirect the magma in a tunnel driller/plug in your robotic deputy into a highly scientific device to act as a power source. But first you have to get there on horseback.
Jack: I so need a raise.
Mr. Fanservice (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MrFanservice): He doesn't do it often, but Jack looks pretty good without a shirt on. See? (http://www.actorsexposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/colin-ferguson-shirtless-01.jpg)
Overprotective Dad (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OverprotectiveDad): He used to be a neglectful dad (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ParentalNeglect) but he got an upgrade.
The Sheriff (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheSheriff) Well, he was a sheriff. In his head he still is.
no subject
For Science: He programs people who aren't always there by consent to go out and perform tasks that are generally either physically dangerous, sexually intimate, or (as in the episode where he programs Echo for a romantic engagement that mostly involves adventure sports and running for her life) both. His excuse? Learning about science!
Gadgeteer Genius: He cuts Active programming time down from hours into seconds, whips up a device to program remotely, and is eventually responsible for the tech that will end the world.
Insufferable Genius: That's pretty much his MO.
Techno Babble: Oh, god, if I were only better at writing this.
Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Hacking, neuroscience, computer programming, take your pick.
Child Prodigy: Applies more to my portrayal of him IG, since in canon he's probably about 26 or thereabouts, but you don't get to be a smartass like that unless this is an ongoing condition.
No Social Skills: Have you seen him?
Genius Slob: Sort of in an odd way, because despite his office being incredibly messy, he is always clean and put together in neatly-pressed sweater vests.
Except when he's mourning unrequited love. Or insane.The Woobie: Well, you know. He's in a ship on a Joss Whedon show. So.
Why Did It Have To Be Rats (And The Dark, And The Outdoors): He's a little bit terrified of rats. And the dark. And he's a bit agoraphobic in canon, though not so much now.
no subject
no subject
Adorkable (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable): Admit it, she's goofy and peppy and has the worst sense of humor ever. She qualifies.
Idol Singer (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IdolSinger): Apparently it's, like, the point of the show or something.
Sibling Rivalry (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SiblingRivalry): Not sure if it qualifies as a rivalry when it's constantly mentioned that Miley's older brother Jackson has no skills whatsoever. Seriously, even their dad points this out. Regardless, he and Miley snark at each other endlessly and occasionally compete for their father's favoritism. (Spoiler: Miley wins. Always.)
Paper Thin Disguise (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PaperThinDisguise): Even lampshaded in one episode when Miley and her father put on their disguises for the evening while Jackson's making fun of Clark Kent on TV. Oh, show.
Cute Clumsy Girl (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteClumsyGirl): She trips over air. And her epic failure at sports of all kinds (except dancing) needs a mention.
Keeping Secrets Sucks (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KeepingSecretsSucks): Her life is so hard.
The Masquerade Will Kill Your Dating Life (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife): It's true. Her double life means she has to turn down a date with Jesse McCartney on one occasion. And don't get me started on the boy who takes her on a date to a Hannah Montana concert, and Miley accepts. This is also one of the main plots of the movie, wherein a guy takes her out to dinner the night she has to appear as Hannah at a benefit, and she tries to split her time between the two and ends up crying in a revolving door. Because there was no better way she could've handled that.
Daddy's Girl (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitle1g4gkak0): Come on. Let's be honest here.
Cool Loser (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CoolLoser): Yep, this girl has been bullied by catty biracial bullying duo Amber and Ashley since she moved to LA from Tennessee. Their justification? Her accent, her utter failure at sports, and her decision to hang around Lilly and Oliver. It makes no sense.
Zany Scheme (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZanyScheme): Take "Wherever I Go," for example:
Robby Ray: Lord, I smell a plan.
Miley: Daddy, I'm no longer in high school. I can no longer solve my problems with some silly hijinks. See, I created a sequence of logical actions that, when executed properly, lead you to the desired result.
Jackson: So, in other words... A PLAN.
Miley: Yes. A plan. But a plan so brilliant that when it came to me at 4:37 in the morning, it was a gift from the gods.
Jackson: Let me guess. Since Lilly thinks it's gonna be hard to go to college without you, you're gonna show her it's gonna be even harder to go to college with you.
Robby Ray: Oh, come on, son, she's been up all night, surely she's come up with something smarter than that.
Miley: I hate this family.
Catch Phrase (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CatchPhrase): "Say what?" "Oh, sweet niblets."
Spoiled Sweet (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpoiledSweet): See, she's a brat, but she's a Disney brat. Which means she'll use her endless resources and considerable leveraging skills to help the less-fortunate (i.e.: her apparently middle-class BFF Lilly, who throws a sweet sixteen party that looks like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Dvp5KTpeckw#t=15s) and yet can't afford the class trip to Washington DC).
Annoying Younger Sibling (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AnnoyingYoungerSibling): Truth be told, she demands favors of Jackson kind of a lot. (She'll often say something like "Maybe Jackson could do it!" and her brother inevitably runs in from upstairs screaming "No no no no no no no no no no!"
Little Miss Snarker (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LittleMissSnarker): More in the later seasons.
no subject
Necromancer (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Necromancer) -- also an easy one. It is what she is, even if she'd rather that wasn't the case. Mm, vampires.
Impossibly Cool Weapon (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ImpossiblyCoolWeapon) -- Slayer. The sword is large, glows and drips magic when she's cranky. It also liquifies and eats vampires.
Harmful To Minors (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HarmfulToMinors) -- This is most of Kate's childhood. It goes hand in hand with Training From Hell (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TrainingFromHell) and Tough Love (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ToughLove). Her adoptive father would send her out to kill stray dogs at the age of six, men at the age of nine, and entered her into arena fights at thirteen. Eventually he sent her out into the wilderness with nothing but a knife and she returned three days later to find he'd committed suicide.
After the End (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AfterTheEnd) -- Kate's world is quasi-apocalyptic, and the struggle to recover from the Shift and live in this new world is a major theme.
no subject
Cloud Cuckoolander: Especially in Fandom, but even back home in Ponyville, the other ponies frequently boggle at Pinkie's choices.
Big Eater: Dude, she steals food from the reigning monarch. Come on, now.
Sarcasm Blind: Or as I like to put it, "immune to sarcasm". Case in point: Fluttershy is not a tree.
Talkative Loon: She hasn't actually talked another pony's ear off? But really, it's probably just a matter of time.
That Reminds Me of a Song: Or more frequently in Pinkie's case: "That freaks me out so much I wrote a song about it!"
no subject
Theme Twin Naming (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThemeTwinNaming) -- Not as extreme as some examples, but Juliet and Jeremy are both six-letter J names, so I'm counting it.
Spoiled Sweet (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpoiledSweet) -- Not a pure example, as Juliet definitely has her moments of being an utter brat, but for the most part she's one of the nicer characters in her canon.
Gilded Cage (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GildedCage) -- She feels that her father's money and power keep her in one, and she's very aware of the bars between her and "real life."
Fiction 500 (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Fiction500) -- Along with every other Darling, really. These are people who don't find a million dollars for a birthday party particularly noteworthy, or hard to double if one party turns into two.
Large Ham (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LargeHam) -- Juliet is a horrible actress, and very much of the "would you like some more cheese with your ham?" variety.
Put on a Bus (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PutOnABus) -- Or, rather, shipped off to an island to live with her new boyfriend when the show fired Samaire Armstrong. Sniff.
no subject
Combat Pragmatist (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CombatPragmatist): Let's face it. He's more a wimp than a soldier but he survives by being pratical and sticking to the rules. It serves him well.
The Hero (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheHero): No. He's not a cape or a action hero but he definitely can pull it together when it absolutely counts.
Genre Savvy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GenreSavvy): He's seen the movies. He knows the mistakes. He lives to tell about it.
Hollywood Nerd (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HollywoodNerd): He's often mistaken for Mark Zuckerberg and never had a girlfriend until the apocalypse hit. C'mon.
Slept Through the Apocalypse (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SleptThroughTheApocalypse): When most of the world was going to hell he was playing WoW. Yep. Nerd.
Took A Level In Badass (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TookALevelInBadass): Of course he was forced to take that level when his "girlfriend" got attacked by a horde of zombies and had to face a zombie clown but he did nonetheless. I love my nerd.
no subject
-- My Name Is Not Durwood. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MyNameIsNotDurwood) Nathan, his name's not Barry.
-- Personality Powers. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PersonalityPowers) As per the rules of the Misfits world, except that's changing now.
-- Butt Monkey. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButtMonkey) For most of his life, even.
-- Friendless Background. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FriendlessBackground) To an extreme.
Sticky Fingers (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StickyFingers) - The aforementioned collection of wallets; a large table; probably half of her and Bo's scavenged furniture; boots; the watch off a guy's wrist at speed-dating... Bo's "And Kenzi? Stop stealing shit." Is only met with "Now that just hurts."
Chaotic Good (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChaoticGood) - Despite the sticky fingers, Kenzi's a good person. She's run cons and stole stuff, but never knowingly hurt someone that we've seen.
The Artful Dodger (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheArtfulDodger) - Kenzi spent an unspecified length of time on the street; enough to earn a street name and friends there. She's more street-smart than Bo, in some ways. Despite that, as far as we can tell, the worst of the worst didn't happen to her there, and she remains cheerful and optimistic.
Deadpan Snarker (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeadpanSnarker)
Kenzi: Did I just wake up in Narnia?
Bo: Um, I thought we agreed no stealing on jobs?
Kenzi: You technically can't steal from a dead guy, seriously its a thing, ask museums.
Kenzi: I mean really, is there anything as sweet as melty melty cheese. What are you doing? Do we have plans? Do I have time to get changed?
Bo: I have plans. I have a doctor's appointment tonight.
Kenzi: In a push-up bra and sexy boots at this hour, um newsflash, I don't think they're a real doctor.
Badass Normal (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassNormal) Kenzi manages to survive being the only 'regular' human on this show very well, thanks. She runs a deal with a Firebird that gets her free drinks from Trick for life; she solves who stole his magic coin; she takes on Baba Yaga and wins; she saves Bo more than once from her own impetuousness (Bo returns the favor a lot); and basically by being wee and cute and completely underestimated by the Fae, she manages to stay alive and thrive with a succubus as a roommate. Mostly because she never stops thinking and does *not* give up.
Abusive Parents (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AbusiveParents): Kenzi's stepdad locked her in a closet for laughing too loud, and she almost summoned Baba Yaga on him several times growing up.
Amateur Sleuth (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AmateurSleuth) : See above, re, Trick's magic coin. Also, she and Bo operate a private investigation business that actually gets them paid sometimes!
Brilliant But Lazy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrilliantButLazy): On the show, Kenzi refuses to have a job aside from the sleuthing. And stealing. But she works really hard at those. And then collapses.
The Lancer (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheLancer) To Bo's Hero. Given Bo's romantic disappointments and heartbreak, it's good to have Heterosexual Life Partner there to give you booze and hand you the crowbar to break shit.
CURSE YOU. That's three hours of my life gone! GAH.

Berserk Button: With a hair trigger, mind you. But you piss her off enough and she will hunt you the hell down. Or beat you up with a boom mic. Or attempt to smash bullet proof glass with a mic stand. Or -- well, you get the idea.
Big Eater: She carries around ribs in her purse. Two different kinds. And fried chicken. And she can eat a whole ham by herself. And gets hungry when she hasn't eaten in an hour. Girl has a very healthy appetite.
Comedic Sociopath: This is the girl who actually offers her possibly mob-affiliated assassin uncle as a solution to one of the iCarly crew's problems. She gleefully hits golf balls at the soccer team during their practice. The number of times she hits Freddie for no reason alone. . . .
Cute Bruiser: See above, add in the fact that Jeanette McCurdy is freaking adorable.
Deadpan Snarker: Really, all the main characters of iCarly fit this trope. Dan Schneider loves him some snark.
Delinquent: But, hey, at least she still talks to her parole officer!
Evil Twin: Her identical twin sister Melanie is sweet, cheerful, kind, and a great student. Sam is the evil twin.
Freudian Excuse: Her mother sold her pet bunny. And never cooks or provides food for her. And forgets to pay the utilities. And forgets to get dinner because she's too busy getting a new tattoo from the guy in front of her in line. Yeah.
Friendless Background: Seriously, it's made pretty clear that for much of her childhood, Carly was her only friend.
Friendly Enemy: With Freddie, turning eventually into actual crushy feelings and eventually dating. While still spending all of their time arguing. It's cute and completely awkward and mostly they just like kissing each other, okay?
Genre Savvy: "Or you could just chase us out of here going 'YOU ROTTEN KIIIIDS!'"
no subject
Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Sam and her mom are totally played for laughs, yes.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Yes, she beats the crap out of Freddie and the soccer team and so many, many others, but she also beats up the bullies who pick on those weaker than them.
The Lad-ette: There's actual an episode titled "iMake Sam Girlier".
The Lancer: Carly is an uptight, punctual, well-organized sweetheart. Sam . . . is not.
Parental Abandonment: "You said you were going to do it!" "Yeah, well, my dad told my mom he was going to come back!" / "Where's your father?" "You tell me!"
Yep.
She Cleans Up Nicely: Sam can also win a beauty pageant. And does, despite her platform being "I love fried chicken."
Third-Person Person: She has a tendency to refer to herself as "Momma". Usually in the line of "Momma plays to win."
I could go on. But I've already broken the comment limit.

Rich in Dollars Poor in Sense. Jeremy has a very poor grasp on how normal people live. Very poor. Pun intended, since he also doesn't really understand what is considered poverty by regular standards.
Big Screwed-Up Family. Duh.
Idle Rich/Upper Class Twit. Too much money, not enough drive to do anything useful.
Screw the Rules, I Have Money! A general problem with the Darling family, if not specifically with Jeremy. Often, anyway.
no subject
Growing Up Sucks (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GrowingUpSucks) The start of her time between ages 15 and 18, which she declares to be the most important of any girl's life are, instead of filled with parties and fun, full of World War I, where all of her brothers and childhood male friends end up on the Western Front getting shot at. Most of them come back with injuries. Some don't come back at all. Rilla, naturally, Kept the Home Fires Burning (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KeepTheHomeFiresBurning).
I Will Wait for You (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IWillWaitForYou) Rilla gets engaged at sixteen to an old childhood friend just before he goes to the front. She doesn't see him again for two years and only hears from him through extremely spotty correspondence.
Children Raise You (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChildrenRaiseYou) Jims helps Rilla stop being such a self-involved little twit, even though she still has moments of brattiness including buying a Nice Hat (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NiceHat), that was much too expensive and promising her mother that she would wear it for three years or the duration of the war, whichever lasts longer. She wears that hat for four years.
no subject
Anti Villain - In his canon, at least, and taking Ender's Game into account. He's a villain early on in EG, confesses to having good goals (in questionable ways) later on in the book, and then spends the Shadow series taking over the world. In some moral dubiousness. For Good.
Becoming the Mask - when he started off, he was an evil little shit pretending to be a good guy to gain power. By the time it ends, he genuinely believes in what he's doing, and only wants the best for everyone. Provided he still gets to rule them.
It's All About Me - He doesn't care about your stupid little personal lives, jesus.
Insufferable Genius - Frequently referred to as the most arrogant person in the world. Well. Maybe barring that evil sociopathic Belgian. (Well, you've got to be pretty bad to be that to Peter Wiggin.)
Magnificent Bastard - He became leader of the entire world-barring-America while in his early 20s without having anything going for him besides his brain and his plotty nature.
The Extremist Was Right - is already warning that somebody needs to do something about the world before it falls into a deadly World War years before the world government crumbles - and turns out to be right about the fact that he's the only one who can fix it.
Young Conqueror - pretty much the apex of this trope. He starts taking over the world when he's fourteen. People in the books like to compare him to Genghis Khan, Augustus and Bismarck a lot.
no subject
Occidental Otaku. Just check out the figurines and other anime paraphernalia in her room.
Kick Chick. And she kicks relly freaking high, too.
Personal Raincloud. It's my dream to one day have one of these show up for her in Fandom. Even though that means things getting really shitty for her.
Adaptation Dyejob. From redhead to blonde in a simple medium switch! Made my search for icons way easier, though.
no subject
Guile Hero - Ender wins his battles through talk and maneuvering these days, knowing how devastating and terrible violence can be. Don't underestimate him, though...
The Combat Pragmatist - Ender's modus operandi in battle, both of the spoken and the physical kind. Also see: The Unfettered, Trying To Catch Me Fighting Dirty.
Voice for the Voiceless - later on in canon, when he becomes a Speaker for the Dead.
Woobie Destroyer of Worlds - not so much the idea described in the trope, but he's a very literal example of the word.
Broken Ace - he's one of the best military strategists to have ever lived. He can pwn anybody if he wants to. But man, he's been fucked over and cracked to bits about life, and often even has trouble connecting to other human beings in the wake of the death of the Formics and the various ways his trust has been betrayed in his life.
The Atoner - he won't rest until he makes up for the Xenocide. Somehow.
no subject
Deadpan Snarker This shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Ben gets stressed, Ben makes jokes. Such as:
Luke: And when someone asks you to talk to her among the Trees of Imminent Doom?
Ben: I say yes, and close my eyes and pucker up for a big kiss.
Luke: There, that's the Skywalker survival instinct at work.
Black Cloak Because everyone needs a cool swishy cloak, okay?
The Empath Which he can't turn off, and is a really bad combination with a Photographic Memory (assuming he's not being mindwhammied by Jacen...).
Incorruptible Pure Pureness Despite being trained by Jacen, tortured by the same, and molested by Tahiri, Ben is still not even close to turning Dark Side. (And so I side-eye you, entry that links Ben to the Jacen's vision of a dark man on a throne...)
And, like all Skywalker-Solos, a Kid Hero.
no subject
Fiery Redhead: with a side of Dye Hard
Fetish Fuel: Goggles, man. Goggles.
Parental Abandonment: even by her Parental Substitute big brother. Doh.
Wrench Wench/Gadgeteer Genius: Who can make a holographic projector capable of rendering 3D images out of numerous 2D photographs in a matter of seconds or cobble together a laser microphone out of random parts found around what is essentially a warehouse full of Happy Fun Balls?
Genki Girl: She's not bubbly, she's damn effervescent.
Little Miss Snarker: Well, Serendipity is her stripper name.
The Cast Showoff: What's that? Accoustic covers of punk songs? For no apparent reason? Aw yeah, my girl's got skills.
no subject
He's also Comically Serious, edging toward Deadpan Snarker. Teacup humans. Hee.
Horny Viking Well, yeah. He's also a Sheriff who sits in a chair with the Slouch of Villainy.
He's also brilliant with Mood Whiplash. For instance, in the show after Sookie finds out Bill's been lying to her and he's been physically thrown from the house and is lying on the ground as an emotional wreck, Eric looms over him and says, "I want my phone back."
Here, have an icon of fanservice.

Cool Shades (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CoolShades): I make this look good.
Deadpan Snarker (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeadpanSnarker): My we have a lot of these in Fandom. We should form a club.
Drives Like Crazy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DrivesLikeCrazy): Unless the steering wheel turns into a gameboy. Then he's screwed.
Eat Me (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EatMe): I get a gold star for naming the trope, right?
Person With The Clothing (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PersonWithTheClothing): It's the last suit he'll ever wear. Again.
Swallowed Whole (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SwallowedWhole): Just one more memory he'd rather not have.

Deadpan Snarker (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeadpanSnarker) - Every once in a while, Summer has a good zinger in the novels. Most of the time, it follows a comment from her brother. She's not as snarky as her uncle Al, though. He definitely takes the cake on that one.
Purple Eyes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PurpleEyes) - It's a toss up on eye color, depending on which book you happen to be reading, but sometimes Summer is described as having violet/purple eyes and at other times, grey.
Fiery Redhead (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FieryRedhead) - Summer is described as a fiery redhead in almost every book she happens to appear in. She's extremely passionate about her work and her family. If you threaten her family, that's when her temper will show. (Just ask her brother).
Family Theme Naming (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FamilyThemeNaming) - Summer is named after her mom and her brother is named after her dad. That's basically it, in a nutshell.
no subject
The Chick (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheChick): The heart and social influence of the group.
Dark Secret (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarkSecret): Pretty much everyone in this canon has one of these, Hanna included.
Disappeared Dad (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DisappearedDad): Her dad left two years ago and barely kept in touch before returning to invite Hanna to his wedding.
Flashback (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Flashback): Considering one of the main characters is dead, flashbacks are kind of a necessity.
Four Temperament Ensemble: Sanguine (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FourTemperamentEnsemble): She can be extroverted, social, cheerful, and enthusiastic, but can also be impulsive, self-indulgent, and sometimes a space case. This is pretty much Hanna, yeah.
Jerkass Facade (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JerkassFacade): She used to be a mean girl, which was really just an act to hide her insecurities.
