Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': A tall, pretty, often brunette, and aloof girl.
2* '''Straight''': [[SugarAndIcePersonality Alice]] is tall, dark-haired, attractive in an imposing way, and has an [[IceQueen aloof demeanour]].
3* '''Exaggerated''': Alice [[StatuesqueStunner stands at 6'6'']], [[EmotionlessGirl never shows emotion]], and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer makes straight women question their sexuality]].
4* '''Downplayed''': Alice has dark hair, is taller and prettier than average, and rarely engages in major displays of emotion such as crying in public, although she's not necessarily above socializing.
5* '''Justified''':
6** It's InTheBlood; most women in her family line are dark-haired girls.
7** The character is a greek supermodel with Asperger's syndrome.
8** Alice is actually a RobotGirl that looks like a human. She genuinely lacks humanity and emotion.
9* '''Inverted''':
10** TallDarkAndSnarky
11** Alice is a short, blonde/redhead, slightly [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} cuckoolandish]] but [[FunPersonified very]] [[LifeOfTheParty sociable]] GenkiGirl.
12* '''Gender Inverted''': TallDarkAndHandsome
13* '''Subverted''':
14** Alice has the physical [[StatuesqueStunner appearance]], but turns out to be a [[TheKlutz clumsy]], [[ThePollyanna cheerful]] [[TheDitz ditz]] who [[GenkiGirl acts like she's on a constant sugar high]].
15** Alice is tall, raven-haired, hot... [[HotBlooded hot ''blooded'']] that is.
16** At first she seems reserved... but then you realize that she's just [[ShrinkingViolet shy]].
17** Alice is long haired, has most of the personality and quite tall on her own... but she's not even one of the tallest characters in the cast, standing around 4'11".
18** Alice is all described above, except that she is actually a [[WholesomeCrossdresser male in]] [[AttractiveBentGender disguise]].
19* '''Double Subverted''':
20** [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass But once things get serious, she fits the trope to a T.]]
21** Alice was just angry about something that day.
22** She ain't shy, people who don't know her well assume that she's shy.
23** Another AloofDarkHairedGirl, Claire, beats [[TallDarkAndHandsome Bob]]'s height by three inches. For the record, Bob is around 6'2", while Claire is 6'5".
24* '''Parodied''': Alice takes a walk through the park, calmly ignoring or unaware of the ensuing {{Slapstick}} of the gaggle of men [[DistractedByTheSexy staring slack-jawed at her]] while doing important and dangerous tasks.
25* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice is tall, attractive and aloof... but then her [[TrueCompanions comrades]] manage to get her [[SugarAndIcePersonality fun side out]]. Then, some trauma happens and she becomes [[{{Heroic BSOD}} depressed and aloof again]]. She recovers... just before things get out of control in the team and she has to [[TeamMom take charge, pull everyone together, and get them to focus and be serious]].
26* '''Averted''': Alice shows few or none of these traits.
27* '''Enforced''':
28** "The pretty but unattainable girl is always popular with [[FanBoy fanboys]]".
29** Alice is a character in a BishoujoSeries anime or a Creator/TimBurton-esque movie.
30** She's in a [[YuriGenre Yuri]] anime as the {{Moe}} ShrinkingViolet's [[{{Seme}} girlfriend]].
31* '''Lampshaded''': "Why is it that all of you tall, pretty brunettes are so cold-shouldered?"
32* '''Invoked''': Alice knows she's attractive, but [[WellExcuseMePrincess thinks she's too good for any of her admirers]], so she acts aloof.
33* '''Exploited''': So people will find her more attractive, Sophia dyes her hair black and cultivates a reserved, mysterious persona.
34* '''Defied''':
35** Alice is tall, dark-haired, and pretty, but quite emotional. She does something like dyeing her hair, smiling often, and doing her makeup to look more plain so that people stop thinking she's weird for not fitting into the stereotype.
36** "Just because I'm Tall and have dark hair that doesn't mean i'll be aloof and void of friendship! [[MoodWhiplash How's it going buddy]]?"
37* '''Discussed''': "I'm surprised you're that emotional. Usually, the [[DistaffCounterpart girl version]] of the tall, dark, and handsome stranger is pretty unemotive".
38* '''Conversed''': "What!? That role shouldn't have had a pretty, cold girl in its place!"
39* '''Deconstructed''': Alice is actually very [[ShrinkingViolet insecure]] and [[BrokenBird vulnerable]], but hates appearing weak, so she makes herself pretty and [[StepfordSmiler puts up a cool, self-assured front]].
40* '''Reconstructed''': Alice has achieved something or [[TookALevelInBadass took a dramatic change of disposition]]. She's much more confident but prefers to still show a quiet confidence on her beautiful face.
41* '''Played For Laughs''': A number of men and at least one woman have major crushes on Alice and consider themselves her fan club, but she acts as though she can't even see them. Hijinks ensue.
42* '''Played For Drama''': Alice's cold demeanor results from her being SoBeautifulItsACurse and prevents her seeking out the help or sympathy she'd need in order to heal.
