Line #20 Tropers/Sharysa


1	A troper obsessed with anime, video games, cosplay, art, and theater. She came across this site while looking for web-comics, and TV Tropes has proved to suck out what little social life she has bit by bit. She lives and is studying to be an actor in the [[{{California}} San Francisco Bay Area]].
2
3	While she leans towards DeadpanSnarker, she and her friends tend to switch between that and CloudCuckooLander, and all of them are performers of some sort (mostly in theater).
4
5	She is prone to [[EntryPimp Entry Pimping]]. She has also transcribed the River Tam Sessions of ''{{Firefly}}'' in their entirety--go [[http://crossoverqueen.livejournal.com/29440.html#cutid1 here if you want to see them]]. She also has a tendency to work on at least three projects at a time.
6
7	Pages she's made major contributions to:
8	* {{Archery}}
9	* {{UsefulNotes/Suicide}}
10	* ''UnicornsOfBalinor''
11	* RiverMonsters
12	* GhostAdventures
13	* ManWomanWild
14	* ''Literature/GreenAngel''
15
16	Her TroperWorks:
17	* ''FanFic/HuntingTheUnicorn'' - her ''{{Glee}}'' fanfic drawing on ''TheLastUnicorn,'' which is also a multi-fandom CrossOver with ''{{Firefly}}'', ''CriminalMinds,'' and ''GameOfThrones.''
18	* ''Literature/{{Moonflowers}}'' - her FairyTale-styled UrbanFantasy with heavy [[CelticMythology Celtic]] elements, published on [=HitRECord=] under the name Logophile. Album page is [[http://www.hitrecord.org/albums/350644 here]].
19	* ''[[{{WebOriginal/Takotsubo}} Takotsubo: The story of a superhero]]'' - her {{Deconstruction}} of both the superhero genre and the [[GenericEthnicCrimeGang Asian-American gangster]] stereotype, also published on [=HitRECord=]. The main piece is a theater script, but she has also written several companion pieces in prose. Album page is [[https://www.hitrecord.org/albums/2879277/ here.]]
20	* ''Literature/TheCrocodileGod'' - Another UrbanFantasy on [=HitRECord=] and two writing websites. Focuses on a ReincarnationRomance between Filipino-American Mirasol and the Tagalog sea-god Haik, after [[ForegoneConclusion centuries of colonization]] have already [[DeathOfTheOldGods decimated the Philippines.]]
21
22	[[folder: Tropes Relating to Her]]
23	* AcheyScars: It's much more boring than the fictional version.
24	* [[AllGirlsLikePonies All Girls Like Horses]]: She wants riding lessons so she can buy her own horse and [[SubvertedTrope learn mounted archery]].
25	* AsianAndNerdy: She had a horrible time with PositiveDiscrimination in high school.
26	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She is small and Filipino, with a strong sense of basic human decency. She also knows archery, has a HairTriggerTemper, and often uses {{Cluster F Bomb}}s. The goddess she follows is [[CelticMythology an infamous war deity]], and she's started learning Shaolin Kung Fu.
27	* BerserkButton: [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Racists, homophobes, and idiots.]] Also, every DoubleStandard involving rape or some form of abuse being okay if a girl/guy does it to a(nother) guy.
28	** Big enough to be noted on its own: ''Asian-targeted'' racism.
29	* BigEater: She is constantly eating and has a hard time gaining weight.
30	* BuffySpeak: Combined with SophisticatedAsHell. She speaks of theater/film, the various aspects of her beliefs, and her plans to become a literal [[JustForPun nerd in Hollywood]] with a slang-heavy vocabulary.
31	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Has a problem with going off on tangents and sometimes misses the point, but when she ''doesn't'' get distracted, she's extremely creative and gives good advice.
32	* BrilliantButLazy: In her actual classes in high school, she was at the top. When it came to homework, she didn't see the point and could barely keep her grades above mid-C's. This is much less of a problem now that she's in college and homework in the high-school sense is quite rare.
33	* BrokenBird: She's been struggling with depression on and off since high school. [[StepfordSmiler You wouldn't know it by looking at her]].
34	* ChaoticGood: For someone who has no interest in the law, she's extremely good at finding loopholes.
35	* CloudCuckoolander: [[{{Understatement}} She's not quite there sometimes]].
36	* CompellingVoice: She has a low voice for a girl, and people have said that it's attention-grabbing. This is most likely a result of choir, actor training, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking years of having to talk with braces]].
37	* CrazyPrepared: One of the walls of text is hers. She is also starting to prepare for the ZombieApocalypse.
38	* CutenessProximity: Seeing something cute, tiny, and/or fluffy (that isn't [[CuteButCacophonic making ugly noises]]) makes her do this in two seconds. This is a problem when her own dog is a cute black blob of {{Moe}}. Who is [[CuteButCacophonic half-Dachshund]].
39	* DaydreamBeliever: The type who tries to figure out the kernels of truth in the myths. The fact that giant squids and a mutant "unicorn" deer have been discovered [[HopeSpot helps a lot]].
40	* DeadpanSnarker: More often in her real-life interactions than online.
41	* FagHag: Is starting to border on this, what with her vocal defense of the LGBT community and the fact that at least half her friends are gay.
42	* GamerChick
43	* HollywoodNerd: As the previous tropes explain, she's extremely smart (and Asian), and has had ''passing strangers'' remark on how pretty she was. She plans to become a literal nerd in Hollywood once she finishes her theater degree.
44	* HotBlooded: FUCK YEAH.
45	* ICallItVera: She's named her iPod, her plants, and her journal.
46	* LoveDodecahedron: Was a HUGE problem in her high-school theater group. Not as fun as it sounds.
47	* MistakenForGay: When she was twelve, people threatened to call her a lesbian if she didn't say she liked a guy in class. Since she literally just had to SAY she liked the guy, without any kind of proof, [[AvertedTrope she did to avoid more trouble.]] In high school, the dumber people thought she was gay because [[SarcasmMode only a gay person would be bothered about all the hate speech]]. It doesn't help that she's in theater.
48	* MistakenNationality: She's ''Filipino(-American),'' yet has been mistaken frequently for Chinese and Japanese.
49	* MustHaveCaffeine
50	* [[{{UsefulNotes/Neo-Paganism}} Neo-Pagan]]: Specifically, she's an Irish Reconstructionist Bard.
51	* OlderThanTheyLook: She's constantly mistaken for a teenager despite being in her twenties, [[TeensAreShort as she's short and slender]].
52	* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: She's just like any other Irish-Recon, Filipino-American theater student.
53	* TheQuietOne: Very much so.
54	* RidiculousProcrastinator: Among other things, why she nearly flunked twelfth grade. ...And nearly every ''other'' year of school. Much less of a problem now that she's in college.
55	* RousseauWasRight: She may not like certain beliefs, but she won't condemn the people who follow them.
56	* {{Tomboy}}: Was one when she was younger, and is working on becoming a BadassBookworm.
57	* ScullyBox: Her theater group mates frequently need her to stand on something if they want to give her a hug.
58	* SerialTweaker: [[UpToEleven Hoo, boy.]]
59	* TwoferTokenMinority: She's a ''non-Catholic'' Filipino-American.
60	* VocalDissonance: Tiny Asian woman, raspy and loud voice. A friend explicitly picked her to voice-act for a {{Badass}} Asian soldier because of it.
61	* WildHair: She enjoys the bohemian look.
62	* YaoiFangirl: That's all she's going to say.
63	[[/folder]]
64
65	[[folder: Tropes Prevalent In Her Writing]]
66	* AuthorAppeal
67	** CelticMythology and all its related tropes: Partly because it's an important aspect of her religion, partly because it's {{badass}}.
68	** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Will usually be the sidekick/supporting character/ TheLancer. May be combined with a KnightInSourArmor.
69	** WriteWhatYouKnow / WriteWhoYouKnow: Her characters are varying combinations of ActionGirl, DeadpanSnarker, CloudCuckoolander, BrokenBird / TroubledButCute, and {{The Smart Guy}}/Girl.
70	** EarnYourHappyEnding: She hates {{Downer Ending}}s with a passion.
71	** KnightInShiningArmor: Whether it's a modern update or an [[MedievalEuropeanFantasy actual knight]], she makes sure at least one of her characters is this.
72	** FantasyCounterpartCulture: Like whoa. Often it's [[CultureChopSuey a blend of various real-life cultures.]]
73	** RuleOfCool: She runs on this.
74	** FixFic: When she writes fanfiction, it has a 63% chance of being this.
75	** HoYay / LesYay. If characters are not established as gay, they will have ''some'' instances of this.
76	** BadassFamily: In spades.
77	** {{Deconstruction}}
78	*** In FanFic/HuntingTheUnicorn's case, DeconstructionFic.
79	*** ''Takotsubo's'' protagonist Cord Cai is a deconstruction of [[GenericEthnicCrimeGang the Asian-American gangster stereotype.]] Being called [[SuperHeroOrigin "the story of a superhero,"]] and with the author's emphasis on how Cord is ''not'' [[VillainProtagonist villainous at all]], the {{Reconstruction}} will be just as heavy.
80	** TrueCompanions
81	* ShownTheirWork: She tries to research at least the basics of anything she doesn't know already, and she absorbs information like a sponge.
82	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: See BunnyEarsLawyer and CloudCuckoolander. Ties in with...
83	** AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: She's working on three original novels, a movie script, and one fanfic. And she can't decide whether to keep one of the novels as-is or to convert it into another script.
84	* DarkerAndEdgier: A common treatment of both her fandoms and FairyTale archetypes, but she also likes using DarkIsNotEvil.
85	* DoingItForTheArt: She probably won't be very prolific with her tendencies toward {{Schedule Slip}}s and spending weeks fine-tuning minutia, but nobody will say [[TheyJustDidntCare she just didn't care]].
86	* HugeGuyTinyGirl
87	* WritersCannotDoMath: She subverts this and ArtistsAreNotArchitects by using her trusty calculator whenever something involves numbers, but she ''does not like it at all''. However, she's learned to tolerate the knowledge that [[CrazyPrepared she's reducing future fanwank]].
88	* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: She rarely does more than a loose outline for her stories.

101	Tá Gaeilge agat? Cén fáth? Níl aon usáid as an teanga sin ar chor ar bith. Rugadh mé i gCorcaigh, agus táim i mo chónaí ann fós; rinne me dharmad a lán de mo Gailge tar éis a fhág mé mo scoil, mar bhíonn an mórchuid daoine anseo ag caint as Béarla, in ngach áit. [[note]]You speak Irish? Why? There's no use for that language at all. I was born in Cork and live there still; I've forgotten a lot of my Irish after leaving school, because the majority of people here speak English, anyway.[[/note]] - @/TheHeroHartmut

103	An cainteoir Gaeilge? Nuair a bhí tú mo shaol ar fad? XD -Dia, again.
