Line #29 PlayingWith/KaleidoscopeHair


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character's hair color changes frequently.
2	* '''Straight''': Alice's hair changes color often.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Alice's hair never stops changing color, going to something new every few seconds.
5	** Alice's hair changes between neon colors and patterns.
6	** Everyone in Alice's world has ever-changing hair color, but Alice's remains constant.
7	* '''Downplayed''':
8	** Every few weeks or months, Alice's hair changes color.
9	** Alice's hair changes color regularly, but the difference is almost unnoticeable.
10	* '''Justified''':
11	** Alice dyes her hair a new color every Saturday.
12	** Alice's hair is [[FunctionalMagic magically enchanted]] to change color at will, or in response to her mood.
13	** Alice's body has {{nanomachines}}, which she can use to change her hair color within a short period of time.
14	** Alice is a shapeshifter.
15	** Alice is a HumanAlien whose "hair" is [[BizarreAlienBiology actually a mass of filament-like outgrowths]] whose pigmentation changes (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) depending on the situation, due to some chemical property in the cells.
16	** Alice has prismatic hair, the color you see is just how the light refracts from your viewing angle.
17	* '''Inverted''': Alice's hair always looks the exact same color, even under different lighting conditions.
18	* '''Subverted''':
19	** Alice isn't changing her actual hair color, she is swapping a collection of wigs around.
20	** Alice is actually changing which of her many bodies she is using; they are all identical, apart from hair color.
21	* '''Double Subverted''':
22	** Alice has undyed hair beneath the wigs, except there's only one wig after all, which she was dying; her scalp is too sensitive to use such chemicals.
23	** Alice frequently swaps which body she uses, but they do all have the same hair color; in each body, she has to dye her hair to a different hue to make it seem like her hair is changing colors when she switches body.
24	* '''Parodied''': Alice's hair does change colors... But they're all invisible to the naked eye, requiring a spectrometer to truly appreciate.
25	* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice changes her hair color every weekday, but not on every weekend.
26	* '''Averted''': Alice has lasting hair color.
27	* '''Enforced''': The person illustrating the story keeps running out of paints and isn't good at getting the same hue twice, so Alice's hair changes color.
28	* '''Lampshaded''': Alice notices her hair color changing a lot and wonders why it happens.
29	* '''Invoked''': Bob sends Alice many shades of hair dye because he doesn't like her current brown hair.
30	* '''Exploited''': Bob notices that Alice's hair changes color depending on her mood, and uses this to understand and talk to her better.
31	* '''Defied''': Alice doesn't want her hair to change color, and gets a wig and permanent dye to prevent it.
32	* '''Discussed''': Bob and Charlie talk about how Alice just got many shades of hair dye and will probably begin dying it a lot soon.
33	* '''Conversed''': "In a cheap story like this, a way to make a character more interesting is to give them randomly changing hair colors."
34	* '''Implied''':
35	** Alice is TheGhost, but many people mention her hair changing in color.
36	** Alice mysteriously disappears, and similar-looking individuals are then occasionally seen with different hair colors.
37	* '''Deconstructed''':
38	** Alice's unpredictable hair color means she can't get a job because her employer thinks she's immature.
39	** Alice is only recognized by her hair, so when it changes nobody knows who she is.
40	** Alice's hair can change color, but it takes quite a bit of energy to do this, often leaving her exhausted. She often just leaves it grey since that requires little effort.
41	* '''Reconstructed''':
42	** Alice finds an employer who doesn't care about her quirky hair.
43	** People learn to tell who Alice is by other features that don't change.
44	** Or they identify her by the fact that her hair changes colors.
45	** Alice gets the energy to change her hair color by [[BigEater eating an large amount of food.]] This also means that she can change her hair color to burn calories if she eats too much.
46	* '''Played For Laughs''': Alice's hair changes color at the most inappropriate times, with a loud bang.
47	* '''Played For Drama''': Alice is desperate to find a way to stop her hair changing color because she feels it is ruining her life.
