Line #12 PlayingWith/NobleFugitive


1	'''Basic Trope''': High class character has to flee hunters for one reason or another.
2	* '''Straight''': Princess Velvet must hide from soldiers of TheEmpire, disguising herself as a commoner.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Emperor Evulz has all of his forces combing the world for any sign of Princess Velvet.
4	* '''Downplayed''': "Princess Velvet, we just wanted you to go on a blind date with Prince Brocade."
5	* '''Justified''': Velvet got close enough to the emperor to discover his AchillesHeel, so he wants to get rid of her before she runs into any [[PlayerParty ragtag group of heroes]] or anything like that.
6	* '''Inverted''': MosesInTheBulrushes
7	* '''Subverted''': Emperor Evulz puts out an arrest warrant for Velvet, but instead of hiding out, she confronts him. Or she is openly granted asylum by another kingdom.
8	* '''Double Subverted''': ...But the attack fails, or she hates being an exile, so she returns as a fugitive.
9	* '''Parodied''': Most of the nobility is "in hiding," but everybody except Emperor Evulz knows exactly where they are. May be the result of their PaperThinDisguise: the nobility walk the street wearing masks or odd hats, which prevents the Emperor or his {{Mooks}} from recognizing them. The aristocracy is based in "The Hidden Grotto," which is marked on every single map.
10	* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
11	* '''Averted''':
12	** No member of the nobility is ever on the run.
13	** The nobility is [[HonorBeforeReason too proud to run.]] If they lose a power struggle they either engage in a last stand or commit mass suicide.
14	* '''Enforced''': Velvet's royal background is being saved for TheReveal, so the writers needed some way to ensure she met LaResistance.
15	* '''Lampshaded''': "Don't tell me, you're a princess in hiding."
16	* '''Invoked''': Princess Velvet's father exiles her for a while so she can learn what it's like t be a commoner before ruling over her people.
17	* '''Exploited''': King [[TheChessmaster Cunning]] hides Princess Velvet in the hope that she will later start a CivilWar in a neighbor's kingdom.
18	* '''Defied''': A U.N. expy enforces laws that protect former rulers from having to go into hiding. Princess Velvet is able to live openly.
19	* '''Discussed''': "But sire, what if your predecessor's heir is living among the commoners?"
20	* '''Conversed''': ???
21	* '''Deconstructed''': Velvet is so used to living the high life that she has difficulty adjusting to life on the run; unable to hide her heritage, she is eventually discovered and dealt with.
22	* '''Reconstructed''': Velvet has trouble adjusting to life on the run at first, but with help from sympathetic villagers is able to overcome this, and [[CharacterDevelopment emerges as a stronger person]] for going through such trials.
23	* '''Played For Laughs:''' Despite being on the run, Velvet [[RoyalBrat expects everyone to keep treating her like royalty]] and responds to any perceived insult with an enraged "[[YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith Do you know who I]] ''[[YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith AM]]''?!" -- much to the dismay of her bodyguard.
