6 | * '''Inverted''': A girl who sells flowers... and is a DarkActionGirl. |
7 | * '''Subverted''': |
8 | ** Violet sells flowers for a living, but is sarcastic, street-smart and cynical. |
9 | ** Violet seems to sell flowers, but it's a ''different'' kind of flower she sells... |
10 | * '''Double Subverted''': |
11 | ** ...However, that's just a front she puts up as she's honed to survive on the streets. Anyone who actually befriends her discovers a sweet, shy and gentle soul. |
12 | ** The flowers are still sweet smelling and uses them to help others. |
13 | * '''Parodied''': As soon as another character buys a flower from Violet, she morphs into a smarmy used car salesman, trying to upsell like crazy. And she's not above whipping out the IncurableCoughOfDeath to squeeze every last penny out of the poor sucker. |

15 | * '''Averted''': Violet does not sell flowers, or isn't dying. |

19 | * '''Exploited''': Violet is actually a ManipulativeBitch who uses this trope to guit trips people into buying her flowers for a high price, complete with faking an illness. |
20 | * '''Defied''': "Selling flowers? No thanks, there's something way too sad about flowers and they're not useful enough. I have to find something much more useful and tenable." |
21 | * '''Discussed''':??? |
22 | * '''Conversed''': "Selling flowers on the street is a classic deathtrap for little girls. When will anyone take the hint?" |
23 | * '''Deconstructed''': We see all kind of shit that Violet went through daily as part of being a flower girl. From [[KidsAreCruel heartless kids ruining her wares]], to low to non-existent sales, to being [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil gangraped by local thugs]] and their dogs. |
24 | * '''Reconstructed''': Despite all these, she's as pure as the fresh lilies that she sells. And she's not a StepfordSmiler, either. |
25 | * '''Played For Laughs:''' There are two Innocent Flower Girls, who engage in a price war. HilarityEnsues. |
26 | * '''Played For Drama:''' Violet's flowers are the only source of income for her household, a rag-tag collection of orphans and street urchins she's taken under her wing despite her illness. If anything were to happen to her, the kids would be left without a protector and vulnerable to the uncaring guards sweeping them all off to the OrphanageOfFear. |
