Per TRS. Bishonen is Definition-Only. No examples allowed.

Ill Girl has been cut per TRS decision. Examples are moved to Delicate And Sickly when appropriate.


* IllGirl: [[spoiler:Phoenix]] seems to be an abnormal variation, complete with driving Alberich's BigBrotherInstinct to {{Knight Templar|BigBrother}} levels. This also applies to June.

Trope has been disambiguated.


* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Chi-Min's hair is bright teal.



Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Asexuality has been made into a disambiguation page after a TRS effort found it to not be a trope.


* {{Asexuality}}: Dr. Chi-min, probably. Actually, all elves, since they're permanently pre-pubescent. [[spoiler:Although not necessarily aromantic...]]
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
TRS has renamed Our Elves Are Better to Our Elves Are Different. Link changed accordingly.


* OurElvesAreBetter: Subverted. Elves are second-class citizens who have a tendency to go mad and kill the people around them with their magical power. Oh, and they only live for about 30 years, while being stuck in prepubescent bodies.

In the world of ''Haru-Sari'' magic can only really be used by "elves", people born with a mutation, either naturally or more commonly artificially induced. Elves physically stay prepubescent children forever, at least until their thirties -- when their magic has poisoned their bodies enough to kill them.
