Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': An adorable, sweet girl who makes a living by selling flowers... and who has a high mortality rate.
2* '''Straight''': Violet is TheCutie who stands on the corner with a basket of flowers, always smiling shyly as she offers her wares to anyone interested.
3* '''Exaggerated''': Not only is Violet almost SickeninglySweet, she's actually battling an IncurableCoughOfDeath.
4* '''Downplayed''': Violet is the only person in town who does not act like a {{Jerkass}}.
5* '''Justified''': Violet is a homeless person who isn't exactly qualified for any other kind of job.
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.
14* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
15* '''Averted''': Violet does not sell flowers, or isn't dying.
16* '''Enforced''': "We need a heartwarming moment right here, because the Hero just lost his whole family. This InnocentFlowerGirl ought to inspire him to keep going."
17* '''Lampshaded''': "Lemme guess, you have cancer, right?"
18* '''Invoked''': "C'mon, I'm cute as a baby panda, and I have a terminal illness. Nobody's going to say no to me!"
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.
