Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': A good character who is cute and [[NiceGuy generally nice]], and whom the audience ends up liking.
2* '''Straight''': Alice is an adorable and charming [[CheerfulChild little girl]] who's best friends with her pet [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter baby penguin]], Pippy. Everyone wants to hug her.
3* '''Exaggerated''': Alice is so cute that everyone finds her SickeninglySweet.
4* '''Downplayed''': Alice is a tween character with a cast full of grown-ups who's pretentious and haughty to everyone except her penguin, whom she dotes on, and is such an AdorablyPrecociousChild.
5* '''Justified''': Alice's affectionate and doting family is the reason for her well being.
6* '''Inverted''':
7** Alice is a {{jerkass}} that pokes people with sticks. [[HatedByAll Nobody likes her.]]
8** Alice is an ugly {{wangst}}y douche. She does not have any fans.
9* '''Subverted''':
10** BitchInSheepsClothing.
11** CuteIsEvil
12* '''Double Subverted''': Alice is closer to 'mischievous scamp' than Jerkass. Her antics are mostly innocuous, and actually kind of endearing.
13* '''Parodied''': ???
14* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice is bipolar and acts all cheerful and sweet during her manic phases.
15* '''Averted''': Alice isn't especially kind, nor optimistic, nor cute.
16* '''Enforced''': "Hey, let's add a cheerful, adorable girl to the series! The fans will like her!"
17* '''Lampshaded''':
18** "Alice's always so kind and so cheerful... don't you sometimes want to give her a hug? It must be so hard to take for you..."
19** "Is it just me, or does anyone else get the impression Alice was a [[PreciousPuppy puppy]] in a previous life?"
20* '''Invoked''': DeliberatelyCuteChild.
21** The KindheartedSimpleton.
22* '''Exploited''': The show takes place on a reality t.v. show island where the audience votes for the winner. Alice deliberately acts cute in order to win.
23* '''Defied''': "Do you actually picture me spending my days being all happy and cute and everything? People would talk."
24* '''Discussed''': "Alice's a pretty good girl, wouldn't you say?"
25* '''Conversed''': "I like Alice. She's just so sweet and adorable!"
26* '''Deconstructed''': Eventually, as Alice grows up, her personality develops beyond "cute", and she works instead of playing with Pippy.
27 * '''Reconstructed''': Alice grows up into a grown woman but she never outgrows her "baby face" or her sweetheart personality, and she plays with her penguin Pippy, also now all grown up, in the park after work.
