** EvilReeactionary

* '''Justified''': Alice is a FishOutOfTemporalWater

* '''Deconstructed''': Everyone thinks Alice is a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, and she's thus alienating herself from others. She could also be missing out on a lot of good things of the modern era...like modern medicine.
* '''Reconstrcted''': Alice learns that there's a time and a place for everything, and that modern stuff isn't all bad. She still likes the MiddleAges, but is able to channel that interest into something like studying medieval literature, or becoming a better DM. And because she isn't speaking in Olde English all the time, people understand her and get to know her, instead of staring and whispering.

* '''Double Subverted''': Only to [[OneOfUs participate in]] a {{LARP}} on the way home...that begins to take on a life of its own.

* '''Lampshaded''': "Alice looks like a fairy-tale princess, like she just stepped out of an ArthurianLegend or something."

* '''Parodied''': See Exaggerated.

* '''Defied''': Alice refuses to go anywhere without her cellphone, thinks CourtlyLove is a bunch of malarkey, [[RealWomenNeverWearDresses never wears a dress of any kind]], and drives a car. She can't imagine ''not'' living in modern times!

* '''Deconstructed''': Everyone thinks Alice is a CloudCuckoolander, and she's thus alienating herself from others. She could also be missing out on a lot of good things of the modern era...like modern medicine.
