Line #17 PlayingWith/GreenThumb


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character has the power to control plants (and/or fungi).
2	* '''Straight''': [[MeaningfulName Lily Greene]] can make plants grow quicker and summon poisonous ivies, vines, and other plants for fighting. [[FlightStrengthHeart And she can make flowers dance.]]
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Lily is literally a giant talking flower that can grow any plant from anywhere, grow a tiny bud to a tree in an instant, [[{{Planimal}} mix the DNA of plants and animals to make animal-plant hybrid warriors,]] [[HiddenDepths and...]]
4	* '''Downplayed''': Lily can grow plants a few inches taller, but that's about it.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** Lily is a fairy whose talent is controlling plants.
7	** Lily is a sorceress who specializes in plant-controlling magic.
8	* '''Inverted''': Lily is a WalkingWasteland who causes plants (or anything, for that matter) to wither instantly.
9	* '''Subverted''': Lily is seen with a group of dancing flowers, but it was the work of her friend [[ThemeNaming Rose]]. Lily's power is different.
10	* '''Double Subverted''': The only difference is that Lily controls aquatic plants.
11	* '''Parodied''': There are so many people with GreenThumb that they made a company of workers that makes plants grow quicker, so they can earn more resources.
12	** Lily uses her powers [[TheStoner to grow certain plants for... recreational purposes.]]
13	* '''Zig-Zagged''': It SEEMS like there are GreenThumb-powered people walking about but it turns out to be just a special fertilizer they brewed up, until the people using their fertilizer realize it doesn't seem to work unless a GreenThumb uses it, then it turns out it was all a ploy, the GreenThumb never needed the fertilizer at all, its was just a marketing ploy to get people to buy their product for a quick buck.
14	* '''Averted''': No character has power over plants.
15	* '''Enforced''': The creator thought a plant-powered character would be a nice change with all the other characters using swords and animal helpers.
16	* '''Lampshaded''': "Lily has such an impressive plant power!"
17	* '''Invoked''': Lily studies plant-related magic.
18	* '''Exploited''': Lily purposely studied plant-related magic because the BigBad is a WalkingWasteland.
19	* '''Defied''': Lily has plant-related powers, but refuses to use them in fear of upsetting the balance of the ecosystem.
20	* '''Discussed''': "You have plant-controlling powers? Man, you've ''got'' to come over and help me with my garden!"
21	* '''Conversed''': "You know how in that fantasy series, that girl Lily has plant-controlling powers?"
22	* '''Implied''': Lily lives in the middle of the desert with no oasis to speak of, yet has a garden lush with plant life.
23	* '''Deconstructed''': Lily has amazing plant-controlling powers, but [[PowerIncontinence she can't control it well]], causing chaos as plants began to grow from odd, unwanted places (like a toilet). Because of this, Lily decides to leave her hometown.
24	* '''Reconstructed''':
25	** Lily manages to injure the BigBad heavily with her powers, making it much easier for her teammates to defeat him.
26	** Lily wears gloves to control her powers.
27	* '''Plotted a Good Waste''': Lily is contacted by many wildlife preservation foundations to help save the rainforests.
28	* '''Played for Laughs''': "I swear, if carrot in my soup starts to grow in my mouth again..."
29	* '''Played for Drama''': When Lily is in a bad mood, she starts creating poisonous plants, so everyone is very careful about her, perhaps even afraid of her.
