Line #10 PlayingWith/LightIsGood


1	'''Basic Trope''': A good person who is characterized by light.
2	* '''Straight''': [[MeaningfulName Hikari]] is a {{miko}} or [[NunsAreMiko something similar]] who is dressed in white and also serves as the [[WhiteMage healer]] by using WhiteMagic, HolyHandGrenade, etc.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Hikari is so [[IncorruptiblePurePureness Pure and Good]] that all Darkness dissipates near-instantaneously in her path. She's also [[AllLovingHero one of the kindest people]] you'll ever meet.
4	* '''Downplayed''': She has a few light-themed abilities, and while not perfect, is willing to be as good and nice as she can be.
5	* '''Justified''': Light is pure and honest and is a bringer of life, and anyone associated with light also carries those qualities.
6	* '''Inverted''':
7	** [[DarkIsEvil An evil person who is characterized by darkness]].
8	** [[DarkIsNotEvil A good person who is characterized by darkness]].
9	** [[LightIsNotGood An evil person who is characterized by light]].
10	* '''Subverted''':
11	** Hikari turns out to be a BitchInSheepsClothing / villain who uses light as a disguise.
12	** Hikari is introduced dressed in a flowing white gown, carrying a golden staff, and seeming to radiate WhiteMagic ... and then she uses ''extremely'' dark magic to drive the villains away from her monastery.
13	* '''Double Subverted''':
14	** That was her evil twin sister.
15	** She was TheMole.
16	** Hikari is a strong example of GoodIsNotNice; her aloof and irritable nature makes it easy for manipulative enemies to falsely paint her as actually evil.
17	* '''Parodied''': We hear an EtherealChoir when we hear her name.
18	* '''Zig-Zagged''':
19	** Hikari goes through a HeelFaceRevolvingDoor throughout the story.
20	** Hikari bounces between dressing like a saint and dressing like a goth at the drop of a hat.
21	* '''Averted''':
22	** Hikari is associated with light and stars, etc., but is not particularly good or bad.
23	** No one is associated with light.
24	* '''Enforced''': "As per the producer's orders, we need a heroine who would make the perfect couple with the [[DarkIsNotEvil dark but equally heroic]] [[TheHero Kim Min Su]]."
25	* '''Lampshaded''': "Of course we can trust her. She uses Light magic, after all!"
26	* '''Invoked''': Hikari, to be non-threatening and show the world her goodness, wears white.
27	* '''Exploited''': AliceAndBob want to improve their morality, so they keep to the light.
28	* '''Defied''':
29	** Hikari wears white and uses holy-themed powers, but she's an unrepentant BloodKnight and TokenEvilTeammate.
30	--->'''Hikari''': Screw your silly stereotypes! [[GoodPowersBadPeople I'll use my powers any way I want!]]
31	** Hikari is good herself, but when this trope gets brought up, she shoots it down and warns her allies that cruelty can hide in light as well as darkness.
32	* '''Discussed''': "Your kindness is like a bright light in my life."
33	* '''Conversed''': "A beam of sunshine on a dark and cloudy day illuminates the pure-hearted maiden. [[SarcasmMode Subtle, isn't it?]]"
34	* '''Implied''': The BigGood is TheGhost, but they are said to wear an entirely white costume.
35	* '''Deconstructed''': While TheHero is good, his [[GoodWingsEvilWings glowing white angelic wings]] are a PortentOfDoom, mainly because white wings represent misfortune and death. This turns his already difficult mission into an extremely painful ordeal, as he has to clash against the people he's meant to save.
36	* '''Played for Drama''': The Minister grants the Paladins the power of the light ... However, said light turns out to be [[PoweredByAForsakenChild the trapped souls of good people unwillingly "harvested" to generate said kind of power]]. Not surprisingly, Paladins who find out the truth don't take it well ... [[HeroicBSOD At all]].
