Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': The idea that good gets inherited from generation to generation just like many personality traits.
* '''Straight''': Katrina is an unflinchingly heroic ActionGirl, clearly having modelled herself after her mother.
* '''Exaggerated''': Katrina's mother was an AllLovingHeroine with a OneHundredPercentAdorationRating and her ancestor [[GodOfGood a goddess of good]]. Not one person of Katrina's line has turned out to be an indecent individual, even her bastard daughters ending up at least in policing jobs.
* '''Downplayed''': Katrina's father was a NiceGirl who liked helping others, so Katrina follows in her mother's footsteps.
* '''Justified''':
** Katrina's family line has lived in harsh conditions where others refused to help her family, but her mother always stepped up to help others, and so she does the same as her mother.
** Katrina has been raised according to a rigid value system of decency and has been rewarded whenever she's adhered to it.
** Everyone expects Katrina to be good girl just like her mother, [[SelfFulfillingProphecy and she ends up becoming one because she doesn't want to disappoint anyone]].
* '''Implied''': Katrina is a hero, and while her family lineage isn't mentioned she does talk about "upholding traditions".
* '''Inverted''':
** Katrina is [[HeroicLineage as evil as her family line is reputed to be]].
** Katrina is a villainous DarkActionGirl, despite her mother's actions.
** Katrina is a hero, but she's a vicious PragmaticHero and a prime example of GoodIsNotNice, unlike her much more outwardly kind family.
* '''Subverted''':
** Katrina has dozens of good people in her family line but is the BlackSheep.
** Katrina's family history was tampered with: most of the family line was pretty ordinary, even villainous folk.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...until she gets fed up and decides that [[HeelFaceTurn following in their footsteps]] isn't so bad a thing after all.
* '''Parodied''': Katrina has a flashback to her childhood, and her fondest memory is her mother teaching him how to pet puppies and kittens.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Katrina finds out her mother was a heroic ActionGirl and feels pressured to follow suit, even though she just wants to have a normal life outside of heroism. She gets consoled that she isn't like her mother, and has the choice to forge her own path. She faces pressure from others, but that pressure is born from people who still wonder what she will choose. Katrina then learns that most of her ''family line'' includes heroic, selfless, and benevolent people. Then she certifies that she shares many personality and temperamental traits that have been commonly observed to appear in her family. Her friend points out she is also very different from them in many respects, but one of the similarities is that she can never stop interfering when she witnesses a woman falling victim to DomesticAbuse...which happens on a regular basis.
* '''Averted''': People in a story's setting turn out good, evil or somewhere between regardless of what kind of people their family lines include.
* '''Enforced''': The author of the story comes from a [[FamilyBusiness generational family of authors]] and [[WriteWhatYouKnow incorporates this family aspect into her heroic characters]].
* '''Lampshaded''': "My mother would stop to help anyone. I'm not about to do things any differently!"
* '''Invoked''': [[TheConscience Queen Benevola]] befriends Katrina, sows seeds of impulses towards helping strangers, orchestrates situations that turn reinforce her virtues, and starts telling her stories about how his family members are great examples of her cherished values (helping others [[KarmicPayback rewards you]], persistence, resilience etc.).
* '''Exploited''': Katrina uses her mother's heroic legacy as a way of hiding her truly [[BitchInSheepsClothing evil nature]].
* '''Defied''': Katrina knows who her family is, and is disgusted that they do so much good when the world doesn't seem to pay them back for it. So she chooses a very different darker path separate from her family, which eventually leads her to becoming one of the very monsters her family fights every day.
* '''Discussed''': "She can't not help them. LikeMotherLikeDaughter...".
* '''Conversed''': "This must be one of those instances where a hero is a hero because of paternal or familial inspiration".
* '''Deconstructed''':
** The pressure of Katrina's superhero family takes it toll on her. She spent her whole life suffering the pressure to be this superhero saving the world from destructive beings, and especially whenever she failed. The failure leads to much ridicule from the world, and having suffered this from a young age, she [[DespairEventHorizon completely breaks under the pressure]]. The psychological vulnerability makes her a veritable target of brainwashing at the hands of unsavory people who influence her against the people that have ridiculed her for not being a perfect hero. She eventually becomes a villain because of it.
** Katrina's raised believing that her parents were heroes just like her. She learns that not only were they not heroes, but [[LukeIAmYourFather that the villains she's been fighting are her parents]]. The psychological shock of this throws her entire self-image into turmoil and she suddenly is terrified of following their dark path.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** Katrina's family rescues her and helps her to HeelFaceTurn and they welcome her back. They also give the world a massive callout for putting so much pressure on a person who was just a child for most of that time, and the world [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realizes its mistake in blaming her for things that weren't her fault]], and she's ultimately able to come back from it as a true hero.
** [[HeelFaceTurn Her parents eventually reform]] proving to Katrina that being good ''was'' her family's nature all along.
