2 | * '''Straight''': [[TheHero Bob]] goes on a mission, and tells [[DamselInDistress Alice]] to stay home because [[StayInTheKitchen he thinks it's "too dangerous for a woman"]]. She accompanies him anyway. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Bob goes on a mission, chains Alice up, locks her in her room, posts several guards out front, inserts a tracking device on her leg, and tells her to stay where she is. She ''still'' somehow gets out. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': Bob goes to the corner store, and politely asks Alice not to tag along because he needs some alone time. She accompanies him anyway. |
5 | * '''Justified''': Bob loves Alice and knows that, because she is not a trained hero like he is, the mission will be more dangerous for her than it is for him. |
6 | * '''Inverted''': Bob [[GotVolunteered forces Alice to come on the mission with him, against her will]]. |
7 | * '''Subverted''': |
8 | ** Alice follows Bob when he forbade her to do so. However, [[CrazyPrepared he anticipates this, and uses a teleportation device to cover his tracks]]. |
9 | ** Alice tries to follow Bob, but she loses him because she knew nothing about the place or direction he was going. |

15 | * '''Averted''': |
16 | ** Bob doesn't care whether Alice accompanies him. |
17 | ** Alice has no interest in following Bob at all. |
18 | * '''Enforced''': "We need Alice to come along, but Bob has to be chivalrous and try to keep her safe. So Bob will forbid Alice to come, but she'll come anyway." |
19 | * '''Lampshaded''': |
20 | -->'''Bob''': I thought I told you to stay home. |
21 | -->'''Alice''': Well, you don't get to decide that. What do you think you are, king of the universe? |
22 | * '''Invoked''': Bob wants Alice to come on the adventure, but [[ReversePsychology motivates her to do so by telling her not to come to give her a motivation to do so]]. |
23 | * '''Exploited''': [[BigBad Emperor Evulz]] sends some of his minions outside of Alice's house for an ambush right after Bob leaves, knowing Alice will try to follow Bob. |
24 | * '''Defied''': |
25 | ** Bob, not wanting to go through this rigmarole, and doesn't bother telling Alice what to do. |
26 | ** Alice stays home, even though Bob has no right to tell her what to do. |
27 | * '''Discussed''': "Just stay here. This isn't like a TV show where you'll get to have an exciting adventure if you follow me anyway. This is RealLife, where you get killed." |

35 | * '''Played for Drama''': Alice was killed because she decided to follow Bob, which causes him grief. |
36 | * '''Played for Horror''': [[WalkingDisasterArea Alice]] attracts EverythingTryingToKillYou with her, proving Bob more than justified in rebuffing her. |
