Line #50 Tropers/JewelMaiden


1	Hello there!
2
3	I'm not going write a lengthy description of myself, since labeling myself is so much more fun: hence the sort-of-lengthy trope list below. But I will mention that I'm a young adult (which means somewhere between 17 and 27), I'm a dedicated writer (troping my WIP was pure heaven), I'm a Christian (but please don't label me with any stereotypes, especially if they start with "evangelical" or "fundamentalist"), and I'm a woman (which should be rather obvious from my handle). My handle also happens to hold several other clues to my personality, but I won't go on about them here. Tropes await!

5	'''Jewel Maiden's life provides examples of:'''
6	* {{Afraid of Needles}}: Not to a debilitating extent, but enough.
7	* {{Brainy Brunette}}: Er -- yes. Humble, too. Quite.
8	* {{Bad Dreams}}: I get these quite a lot, though I don't see how they can possibly signify an intriguing {{Back Story}}. I haven't been around that long, and I don't believe in reincarnation. Deja vu? Snort.
9	* {{Beware The Nice Ones}}: People tend to think I'm sweet and cute ... until they push a button.
10	* {{Bookworm}}: Like you wouldn't believe.
11	* {{Born In The Wrong Century}}: Though if I ever time-travel, I'm taking my chapstick with me.
12	* {{Clingy Jealous Girl}}: On occasion.
13	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: It's debatable whether I've ever been described so well by a single trope page. Except that...well...you live in the world, and you learn things. But you forget them as often as possible.
14	* {{Genius Book Club}}: Not on purpose. I can't help it that I regularly read {{War and Peace}} and {{Middlemarch}} for fun.
15	* {{Girl Next Door}}: Preeeety much. Certainly I look like the classic example, but other tropes may disprove this.
16	* {{Grammar Nazi}}: For lack of a better term. I'm more of a Punctuation Rights Activist than anything; as a matter of fact, I champion split infinitives.
17	* {{Mood Swinger}}: Oh, goodness.
18	* {{My Eyes Are Up Here}}: I've had to use this line a few times--but, being shy, I mostly glare out of the corner of my eye. Believe me, [[BuxomIsBetter buxom ISN'T better]].
19	* {{NaNoWriMo}}: I would not miss it for ''anything''.
20	* {{Not A Morning Person}}: Could anyone be less so? (Though technically speaking -- cue the hate! -- right after midnight is my best time. In ... the morning.)
21	* {{Not Helping Your Case}}: This is true for me much more often than I like to admit.
22	* {{Shorter Means Smarter}}: Well, I like to think so.
23	* {{Tsundere}}: Type B (though I've delivered several undeserved [[ArmorPiercingSlap Armor Piercing Slaps]] before). I am being brutally honest, by the way. [[SincerityMode This is a Brutally Honest page]].
24	* {{Write Who You Know}}: I've done this more than once. And ''nobody's ever guessed it''.
25
26	'''Jewel Maiden's main work-in-progress provides examples of:'''
27	* {{All Girls Want Bad Boys}}: Played straight with [[FieryRedhead Rhoyna]], averted with [[YamatoNadeshiko Glynnis]].
28	* {{Bad Dreams}}: Evan and Glynnis.
29	* {{Big Brother Instinct}}: Evan to Rhoyna.
30	* {{Bittersweet Ending}}: Due in part to {{Maybe Ever After}}.
31	* {{Break The Cutie}}: Selwin and Rhoyna. The verdict's still out on whether Margery counts.
32	* {{The Charmer}}: Selwin. Oh so much.
33	* {{Cruel and Unusual Death}}: Subverted. Thank God.
34	* {{Death Seeker}}: Evan, which overlaps with {{Glory Seeker}}.
35	* {{The Determinator}}: If you happen to be an ordinary useful person on the side Which-Is-Not-Evan's, you may as well give up. No really. Give up.
36	* {{Died In Your Arms Tonight}}
37	* {{Even The Guys Want Him}}: Selwin. This has been confirmed by ... others.
38	* {{Fire Forged Friends}}: Evan + Selwin is the most obvious example, but there are others, including Rhys, Dafydd, Gwilym, and Malcolm. (By the bye, I love my [[LandofMyFathersandTheirSheep Welsh names]].)
39	* {{Glory Hound}}: The {{Big Bad}}, who is also somewhat of a [[TheCharmer Charmer]] until you get to know him.
40	* {{Hair of Gold}}: Oh, Selwin.
41	* {{Heart Broken Badass}}
42	* {{Heroic BSOD}}: Evan experiences a particularly debilitating example.
43	* {{Heroic Sacrifice}}
44	* {{Heterosexual Life Partners}}: Evan and Selwin. If you try to slash them, I will be very very angry with you. But I've rather resigned myself to it happening, all the same.
45	* {{In Harms Way}}
46	* {{Iron Woobie}}: Both Evan and Glynnis, though Evan may be more of the [[StoicWoobie stoic variety]].
47	* {{I Want My Beloved To Be Happy}}: One of four reasons for the main {{Heroic Sacrifice}}.
48	* {{Long Lost Relative}}
49	* {{Love Hurts}}: Good ''Lord''.
50	* {{Sensitive Guy and Manly Man}}: Selwin and Evan, though Evan isn't above having horrible nightmares and Selwin has drawn blood on occasion.
51	* {{Sins Of Our Fathers}}
52	* {{Suicide Mission}}
53	* {{Tall Dark and Snarky}}: Evan and Lord Iorweth.
54	* {{Tear Jerker}}: This has also been confirmed by plenty of people other than myself.
55	* {{True Art Is Angsty}}
56	* {{Unlucky Childhood Friend}}: He did choose to be unlucky, but hey.
57	* {{Villain with Good Publicity}}
