Line #19 PlayingWith/SugarAndIcePersonality


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character is cold and distant sometimes and warm and friendly at other times.
2	* '''Straight''': Alice is cold and[=/=]or aloof towards people when she first meets them, but as they get to know her, she warms up and become more friendly with them.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Alice is absolutely icy towards people she meets but becomes way too attached to them when they get to know her.
5	** JerkWithAHeartOfGold
6	* '''Downplayed''': Alice is cool, but friendly towards people she meets, and as she gets to know them, she warms up a bit.
7	* '''Justified''':
8	** Alice is suffering from [[SplitPersonality Dissociative Identity Disorder]].
9	** Alternately, Alice had a [[DarkAndTroubledPast painful past]], and [[BrokenBird while trying to hide it]], she overcompensates.
10	** Alice is bipolar.
11	** Alice is [[UsefulNotes/AspergerSyndrome autistic]]. She really does care about the people close to her, but her body language/expressions don't make it obvious.
12	** Alice is a NiceGirl, [[BeingPersonalIsntProfessional but she needs to act dry and professional at work]].
13	** Some people just are.
14	* '''Inverted''': Alice is very friendly towards people she meets, but when they get to know her, she becomes very cold.
15	* '''Subverted''': Alice seems to be warming up to Jason, but then she goes back to being an IceQueen, saying she only needed him to get to the MacGuffin.
16	** Alice ''seems'' to have a frigid personality due to her icy-cold, emotionless, unfriendly voice that sounds like [[BrownNote you could get frostbite from listening to her talk]]. However it's just a case of VocalDissonance and she's actually the nicest person you'll ever meet and always has a smile on her face.
17	* '''Double Subverted''': ...Then she admits she was joking and goes back to being warm and friendly.
18	** However, she does meet people who annoy her, and her demeanor towards them is just as frosty as her voice.
19	* '''Parodied''': Alice pretends to act all cool and aloof, but everyone can see right through her act.
20	* '''Zig Zagged''': For some people, Alice is warm right off the bat, while others have to get her to warm up to them, and yet others only ever see the icy side.
21	* '''Averted''': Alice either is an out and out IceQueen or always friendly and nice.
22	* '''Enforced''': "People aren't really connecting to Alice. Let's have her demonstrate that she isn't just an IceQueen and she actually does have a warm side.
23	* '''Lampshaded''':
24	** "Well, of course the IceQueen would have a heart of gold."
25	** "She's really nice once you get to know her, she just takes a while to open up."
26	* '''Invoked''': Alice is naturally warm, but this led to people taking advantage of her and/or being upset when she expresses negative emotions. Now she puts up a cold front so she can distinguish people's intentions before opening up.
27	* '''Exploited''': Drew, knowing about Alice's warm side, purposefully gets close to her, so he might have a chance of becoming her LoveInterest.
28	* '''Defied''': Alice either chooses to never let her warm side show or be open with her warm side at the start.
29	** Alternately Alice refuses to show her cold side at the start or later on.
30	* '''Discussed''': Cindy asks Bob how he manages to bring out Alice's warm side when she's normally so distant.
31	* '''Conversed''':
32	-->'''Claire''': Ah, another [[HaremGenre harem show]] with one male lead and multiple female LoveInterests. According to my experience, one of the girls should be a "cold outside, warm inside" type...\
33	'''Bob''': Uh, no. I watched it yesterday. None of the LoveInterests are like that. It's the ''male lead'' who's "cold outside, warm inside".\
34	'''Claire''': Wait. What?\
35	'''Bob''': That's not all. The guy is cold towards everyone, including said "LoveInterests". He's only warm towards his dog.\
36	'''Claire''': OK, that sounds like something I'm going to enjoy.
37	* '''Deconstructed''': Alice's icy exterior pushes people away and leaves her utterly friendless.
38	* '''Reconstructed''': Because she repels people with her cold exterior, her friends are all accepting sorts, and actually the kind of person she'd like to be friends with.
