Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': A character has a habitual vice, but is still heroic nonetheless.
2* '''Straight''': Amazing Girl can be [[{{Pride}} vain]], [[UnstoppableRage wrathful]], and {{greed}}y, but that will never outweigh her good deeds to others.
3* '''Exaggerated''': Amazing Girl contains all of the SevenDeadlySins, yet she is still one of the purest heroines.
4* '''Downplayed''': It's harder for Amazing Girl to resist the temptation to grab something shiny when she sees it, but for the most part she can keep her greed in check.
5* '''Justified''':
6** All her life, Amazing Girl has been told how great of a hero she was, allowing pride to take root.
7** She has the unusual capability of 'reverse abusing', allowing her to use each of the vices when its appropriate and for rightful gain.
8** Her vices are neither destructive nor [[FatalFlaw fatal]].
9* '''Inverted''':
10** Evulz is undoubtedly evil, but has many EvilVirtues.
11** Evulz is StraightEdgeEvil who has no real vices.
12* '''Subverted''': Amazing Girl plans on overcoming her vices to become more of a virtuous heroine...
13* '''Double Subverted''': ...[[ColdTurkeysAreEverywhere only to dwell in them again the next week]]. She's still a good person, though.
14* '''Parodied''': Amazing Girl is lauded as the greatest hero on Earth, despite being very likely to tear down whole cities in her rage every time someone says something impolite to her.
15* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
16* '''Averted''': Amazing Girl is a hero with [[IncorruptiblePurePureness absolutely no vices]].
17* '''Enforced''': The writer wants to make a point that not all heroes are completely upright.
18* '''Lampshaded''': "I think you might have some anger management issues there, Amazing Girl." "Yeah, but crime never learns, so I don't think I'll run out of people who deserve to be hit any time soon."
19* '''Invoked''': Feeling that she needs to be more decisive in order to more effectively fight crime, Amazing Girl intentionally gets riled up so she can channel her wrath.
20* '''Exploited''': Knowing that Amazing Girl struggles with greed, the villain will scatter precious metals or stones when he escapes in order to distract her.
21* '''Defied''': "I'm a hero, and real heroes don't dwell in their vices."
22* '''Discussed''': ???
23* '''Conversed''': ???
24* '''Implied''': Whenever things don't go her way, Amazing Girl has to visibly restrain herself to avoid making a bad situation worse. Furthermore, her house is a smashed wreck and she spends an inordinate amount of time dealing with petty criminals, the type she can [[CurbStompBattle beat easily with minimal effort ]][[CatharsisFactor to help calm herself down.]]
25* '''Deconstructed''':
26** Amazing Girl ''is'' heroic, yet many people love to AccentuateTheNegative, view her as a supposedly toxic individual, and ignore the good she's done. Angst ensues.
27** People find difficulty in supporting and relating to Amazing Girl because her vices suffer a case of values dissonance.
28* '''Reconstructed''': While Amazing Girl is unquestionably a good person, underneath it all, [[HumansAreFlawed she's still only human.]] She has a stressful job, a psyche that isn't always compatible with it, and an inadequate support system to help her cope with it in a healthy way. Her vices help show how her life wears her down and provide a barometer for her internal conflict.
