\"Forgets her favorite color\" I don\'t think would even count as this trope; maybe it would work better if she came back as the Friendy Neighborhood Vampire who suffers the occasional Horror Hunger blood cravings, but depending on how cynical the work is, she\'ll probably have the Heroic Willpower to resist it.
