Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Straight: Jade starts as a Wide-Eyed Idealist, but during her adventures through the Crapsack World she lives in, she becomes much more cynical.
  • Exaggerated: Jade starts out as The Pollyanna, but then something goes wrong and immediately becomes The Snark Knight (or even a Nietzsche Wannabe).
  • Justified: Jade has no idea what she's getting herself into at the beginning, so when she sees the horrible things she has to do and have happen to her/those around her, she becomes more hardened and cynical.
  • Inverted: Jade starts off as a Grumpy Bear but as time goes on she accepts that the world is far more idealistic than she gave it credit for.
    • Rose-Colored Glasses
  • Subverted: Jade remains idealistic despite the things she must do and must see.
  • Double Subverted: ...But, deep down, she's actually a Knight in Sour Armor.
  • Parodied: As Jade becomes more jaded and cynical, the glasses she wears become greener and greener.
