History PlayingWith / BullyingADragon

* '''Straight''': Lisa and her GirlPosse pick on Marcy, a CuteWitch who could [[KillItWithFire blast the lot of them with a well-placed fireball]] if she ever snapped, [[FantasticRacism because she is a witch]].

* '''Downplayed''': ???

** Marcy has too much {{Pride}}, she thinks bullying someone with ridiculous powers and standing on the edge of being annihilated would make her look like a badass in the eyes of her peers, when in fact that is not the case.
** Lisa has that UncannyValley aura around her.

** Or: At first it seems Marcy can easily kill the bully, but later it reveals that Lisa is just as powerfull witch as Marcy, if not more, so she has no reason to be afraid.

** Alternatively: Lisa and her crew use this opportunity to ''really'' hurt Marcy because she's a witch, under the guise of common hazing.

* '''Inverted''': Marcy uses her powers to terrorize everyone and keep them afraid of her.

* '''Deconstructed''':
** Lisa is full of self-loathing, but cannot bring herself to commit suicide, so she's provoking Marcy in an attempt to get Marcy to kill her. Or she really is that stupid and bitchy and there are other situations where she shows off her lack of survival instinct to indulge her pettiness (like walking into traffic to yell at someone she thought snubbed her).
** Marcy just kills Lisa off when she goes too far. Then the local [[BurntheWitch witch hunters]] show up out for Marcy's blood, viewing her as nothing more than another murderer they need to bring to justice.
* '''Reconstructed''': Marcy breaks and tries to kill Lisa, but manages to control herself and redirects the fireball into a nearby tree. Afterwards, Lisa and Marcy reconcile and become friends. Marcy soon discovers that she can't produce another fireball that big without duplicating the situation, resulting in Lisa becoming her sidekick in order to intentionally tease her into full power when the need arises.

** Lisa doesn't even know Marcy is a witch to begin with.

** HumansAreBastards [[HumansAreMorons And Morons]], YouthIsWastedOnTheDumb, etc.

* '''Justified''': HumansAreBastards [[HumansAreMorons And Morons]], YouthIsWastedOnTheDumb, etc.

* '''Subverted''': Lisa, after having the power discrepancy pointed out, decides not to tease or antagonize Marcy anymore.

* '''Double Subverted''': ...At least, not to her ''face''. But playing pranks on her? Fair game.

* '''Parodied''': Marcy is an actual full-sized dragon. Lisa insists on throwing rocks at her anyway.

* '''Deconstructed''': Lisa is full of self-loathing, but cannot bring herself to commit suicide, so she's provoking Marcy in an attempt to get Marcy to kill her. Or she really is that stupid and bitchy and there are other situations where she shows off her lack of survival instinct to indulge her pettiness (like walking into traffic to yell at someone she thought snubbed her).

**** And then Marcy kills off the witch hunters. If that's not enough? She decides that humans are sociopathic morons after all and [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds tries to kill off EVERYONE]].

* '''Zig Zagged''': Lisa refuses to openly harass Marcy, but she and her GirlPosse secretly play nasty pratical jokes on Marcy. Marcy figures this out and confronts them; Lisa immediately backs off, shocking her friends by ''apologizing''. Then they start picking on [[ShrinkingViolet Iris]], Marcy's much-less powerful friend... and when Marcy finds out, she is ''through the roof with rage''.

* '''Averted''': Only people who have a chance of surviving Marcy's retribution pick on her.

* '''Enforced''': "We need some way to make people [[RuleOfEmpathy feel sorry for]] Marcy, even though she's got those great powers... Let's bring in these bullies to pick on her!"

* '''Defied''': "Are you insane? We're not picking on anyone we can't beat up if they decide to fight back. We're bullies, not idiots."

**** And then Marcy kills off the witch hunters. If that's not enough? She decides that humans Are sociopathic morons after all and [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds tries to kill off EVERYONE]].

* '''Justified''': If Marcy retaliates, she'll get in more trouble than Lisa will; Lisa ''knows'' this, and expects others to intervene before she and her friends get ''seriously'' hurt by the horrible rampaging ''loser''.

** Or: Lisa has heard the rumors, but believes that Marcy is either delusional or faking it. When confronted with a display of actual power from Alice, Marcy backs down rather meekly.

** Marcy is jealous of Alice and her power, and barely even ''cares'' if Alice kills her as long as it takes [[WitchWithACapitalB that stuck-up witch]] down a peg in the process.

** Alternatively: Lisa and her GirlPosse suck up to Marcy because hr powers could come in handy in the future.
