Added DiffLines:

** A less funny version of the "boy meets girl" where people's reaction to Alice really takes its toll on the male LoveInterest. Why are people so scared of this mindblowingly beautiful woman, he wonders. His friends reassure him [[BlatantLies that everyone's just intimidated by her beauty]]. He eventually sees through this and hates humanity for how they treat his girlfriend to where he goes so KnightTemplar [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Alice tells him to cool it because he's scaring her]], to avoid risking losing the woman he loves most, he instead bottles up his rage. Which eventually comes out, and when it does, it's not pretty.


Added DiffLines:

** Sure, his rage coming out and boiling over wasn't pretty but it was used to defend Alice or someone else. He feels better and is seen as a hero, even if some think he took it a little far. Alice and him grow closer together and many even accept his relationship with Alice.

** Alice is just a regular girl who has the appearance down to a T...but she's the nicest person anyone's ever met.



** But push her too far and she becomes indistinguishable from this trope played straight. BewareTheNiceOnes indeed...



** A male LoveInterest has a crush on Alice and is somehow completely oblivious to her horrifying appearance. To him she's the most beautiful girl in the world and he gets angry/offended when someone mentions how terrifying Alice looks.

* '''Reconstructed''': Alice the ghost is trying to be patient with anyone alive whom could help her achieve her ghostly goals knowing that scaring them isn't likely to get them to cooperate, but repeated failure after failure for whatever reason over the decades is wearing on her psyche and appearance. Which makes it even ''more'' difficult to get living people to help since her appearance alone can frighten them away.
