Line #29 PlayingWith/OppositeSexClone


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character uses magic and / or science to create a duplicate of his / her opposite sex.
2	* '''[[AccidentalPun Straight]]''': Alex Wiseman, consummate MadScientist, creates a female clone of himself named Alice to become his right-hand woman and future successor.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Alex creates dozens of female clones of himself to work as his lab assistants and [[AmazonBrigade personal bodyguard squad]].
4	* '''Downplayed''': A {{hermaphrodite}} clone of a male or female character
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** Alex was aiming to create a perfect duplicate of himself on the beginning. But the first clones based on male test subjects [[CloneDegeneration started to deteriorate]] really fast, both on health and intellect, rendering them useless for his purpose. However, he discovered that the female test subjects' clones didn't present such anomalies, so he manipulated his DNA to create a female instead.
7	** Theoretically, this degredation could be exclusive to the Y-chromosome, so you just remove it and copy & paste the X-chromosome.
8	** The clone was made by someone else, and they patched a few of their own genes in. Including a sex chromosome.
9	** Alex is a UsefulNotes/{{trans\|gender}} man, so his clone reflects the sex that he was assigned at birth. Alternatively, Alex is a cis man, but his clone turned out to be a trans ''woman'' and transitioned to become Alice.
10	** Alex wants a counterpart, but he knows that two people looking exactly the same would be confusing.
11	** Alex first made a male clone of himself - Alan - that he raised as a son. When Alan was ten years old he asked for a sister, so Alex made an opposite-gender clone to grant his same-gender clone's wish.
12	* '''Inverted''': Alex creates a clone of himself that's also male.
13	* '''Subverted''': Alice has the phenotype of a female, but no vagina nor identifies as female.
14	* '''Double Subverted''': ...but then she gets one either through magic or surgery or genetic engineering.
15	* '''Parodied''':
16	** After Alice's development stage is finally completed, the first thing that Alex does is to play dress-up with her with all kind of ridiculously cute attire.
17	** Alice turns to be a diabeetus inducing {{Kawaiiko}} of epic proportions, for [[ThirdLawOfGenderBending some reason]].
18	* '''Zig Zagged''':
19	** Alex creates an Opposite Sex Clone of himself named Alice, who eventually grows male genitalia and becomes a hermaphrodite, then loses her female organs and becomes a man, then regrows her female organs becoming a hermaphrodite again, then she loses her male organs and becomes a regular female again.
20	** Alternatively, Alice grow up, become a female mad scientist, an makes and Opposite Sex Clone of herself, which then does the same thing, and so on...
21	* '''Averted''': Despite cloning and genetic manipulation playing a key role on the story's development, no opposite sex clones are ever created.
22	* '''Enforced''': "We don't need two of Alex, let's make his clone a girl. That way we'll have a {{Ms Fanservice}} to provide fetish material."
23	* '''Lampshaded''':
24	** "Mom used to say she always wanted a girl. Well, I guess this comes close enough."
25	** "We're like [[HalfIdenticalTwins twins]], except one of us is an affront to God!" "And the other one's a clone!" "HEY!"
26	* '''Invoked''': Alex is an insufferable narcissist who thinks the only person worthy of him would be his female mirror image. Then he comes up with the technology to create opposite sex duplicates, and he gets an idea...
27	* '''Exploited''':
28	** Alice is very spiteful towards Alex, so she goes around impersonating him, claiming that "he" was always transgender in order to confuse people, and- as she lives in a highly transphobic society- ruin his reputation.
29	** Bob convinces [[StraightGay Alex]] to make Alice, knowing he'll easily be able to seduce "girl Alex" because of Alex's not-exactly-subtle crush on him.
30	* '''Defied''': Even after finding out about the disadvantages of the male clones when compared to the female ones, Alex decides to continue researching to create a perfect clone of himself; anything else would be unacceptable for him.
31	* '''Discussed''':
32	-->'''Bob:''' So this is your duplicate. She's actually rather good-looking.\
33	'''Alex:''' Thanks... I guess.\
34	'''Bob:''' Do you think I could have one myself?\
35	'''Alex:''' Eh? Why would you want a female clone?\
36	'''Bob:''' I've always wonder how would it be... You know... Having [[ScrewYourself some action with myself]].\
37	'''Alex:''' You're revolting! [[GetOut Get out of my sight]] before I kill you!
38	* '''Conversed''':
39	-->'''Claire:''' This whole deal with the opposite gender clones actually makes me wonder how would it be to have one myself. It would be freaky, but also kinda cool.\
40	'''Danny:''' I'd love one for myself, too! I'm sure girl Danny would look great on a dress.\
41	'''Claire:''' [[WholesomeCrossdresser But you already use dresses all the time!]]\
42	'''Danny:''' ...Yeah, but that's beside the point!
43	* '''Implied:''' Alex's clone is more androgynous than him, though given the clone is always clothed no one is sure if that's just a design quirk or if the clone is [[LadyLooksLikeADude female.]]
44	* '''Deconstructed''':
45	** Despite being an almost perfect duplicate of Alex, Alice turns to be a rather different person when compared to the original. It's not only by the fact of being female; there are other factors that mold her personality and traits into something completely different. Therefore, Alex's plan to create a perfect successor becomes fruitless.
46	** To avoid the previously described scenario, Alex transfers his personality and memories into Alice. However, even when fully aware of his decision and plans, the clone starts to develop serious psychological issues related to her new physiology. After a life of memories as a man, a living on a woman's body would be a strange and confusing experience to anyone.
47	* '''Reconstructed''':
48	** Despite the fact that it is impossible for Alice to become his mirror image, Alex remains firm on his decision to turn her into his successor, so he starts raising her as if she were his beloved daughter. With the passage of time, Alice starts to develop her own strengths and potential, even surpassing Alex's former expectations, and becoming a worthy successor.
49	** After facing her existential crisis, Alice decides to move on and face her new life as woman with the best disposition.
50	* '''Played For Laughs:''' Alice, completely excited and wowed by her body, regularly behaves crudely such as [[ManIFeelLikeAWoman examining]] herself and [[TheTease teasing]] men.
51	* '''Played For Drama:''' Though Alice and Alex are different people, Alex's friends treat Alice like she's just "girl Alex". Thus she's unable to woo any of them, even the gay friends. Yet if she tries to keep this fact hidden, any guys she has sex with react horrified. However, as she isn't into girls, this means she's unlikely to have any fulfilling honest relationships.
