%% MightyGlacier is slow and STRONG, not necessarily slow and TOUGH. It is not a direct inversion of FragileSpeedster.
%%
'''Basic Trope''': A character who's speedy but frail.
* '''Straight''': Lila can move fast enough to evade almost any attack, but one hit leaves her down for the count.
* '''Exaggerated''': Lila moves as fast as lightning, but [[OneHitPointWonder dies if she crashes into a cotton wall]].
* '''Downplayed''': Alice has a small edge over her cohorts in being a bit swifter than them, but she is no pushover either, and can only take slightly less punishment than they can.
* '''Justified''':
** ShedArmorGainSpeed
** InAWorld where ArmorIsUseless, the first good hit that lands determines victory and defeat. Fighters ignore defensive strength in favor of being able to land that hit before the enemy or avoid it.
** Lila is the TokenMiniMoe of the group. Her little body can't withstand a powerful attack, no matter how hard she trains. And since the group want her to stay out of combat as much as possible, her training is focused on speed.
** There is only so much SuperToughness can do to prevent being hurt when you crash while [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale going somewhere near light-speed]].
** Lila is a cheetah, Russian blue cat, thoroughbred horse, greyhound, bird, or other animal that can move quickly but is fairly fragile in build.
* '''Inverted''': Lila is too slow to evade enemy attacks, but tough enough to NoSell them.
* '''Subverted''': Lila seems like this at first, but it turns out [[LightningBruiser she can take more punishment than you'd think]].
* '''Double Subverted''':
** She turns out to have a common WeaksauceWeakness other than purely physical fragility, making her functionally frail in most battles.
** Lila has to be highly resilient to survive her own powers, but she is still subject to inertia and thus is effectively hit exponentially harder by all attacks when she's at full speed.
* '''Parodied''': When Lila moves, everything else seems to be stopped in place. Then she trips and goes down. Hard.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Lila encounters a lot of speed-canceling powers or traps, but is okay most of the time.
* '''Averted''':
** Lila has [[JackOfAllStats average speed and defense]].
** Lila [[LightningBruiser is just as resilient as she is fast.]]
* '''Enforced''': "Lila's the fastest on the team, but we need CompetitiveBalance, so we'll take away her armor."
* '''Lampshaded''': "How can we hit someone who moves so quickly?"
* '''Invoked''': Lila is a LovableCoward and focuses on speed at the cost of defense in order to run from any fight she can't win.
* '''Exploited''': Emperor Evulz rigs his castle full of string traps and trip lines to counter Lila's breakneck speed.
* '''Defied''': After being defeated in a fight, Lila puts herself through TrainingFromHell and [[TookALevelInBadass becomes a]] LightningBruiser.
* '''Discussed''': "Lila may be fast, but can she even take one punch?"
* '''Conversed''': "You would think that being able to run that fast [[RequiredSecondaryPowers would also make someone tough a brick, but apparently not]]."
* '''Deconstructed''':
** Moving at SuperSpeed is quite a burden for Lila. She often suffers serious injury even if she never gets hit, and God help her if she trips over something... which is [[TooFastToStop all too easy at her speed.]]
** When Lila fights [[TheDragon General Drake]], he finds some way to slow her down, then promptly finishes her off.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** On the bright side, Lila realizes her speed causes her attacks to be just as powerful as the MightyGlacier.
** Realising that she often goes TooFastToStop, Lila instead relies on [[DeadlyDodging spot-dodging]] and RapidFireFisticuffs rather than just outrunning opponents. The net effect is TheSlowWalk, and becoming an ImplacableWoman despite being a fragile speedster on paper.
** Lila moves so fast that Drake doesn't even have time to use his slowing method on her.
* '''Played For Laughs''':
** Lila's super speed takes her into a banana peel factory, where HilarityEnsues.
** Lila realizes she is too weak to defeat Emperor Evulz and his magic blasts, so she uses her speed to annoy him. He becomes frustrated that he can't land a blast on Lila and doesn't realize [[HoistByHisOwnPetard he destroyed the support beams of the room]]. Lila then waves him goodbye as she runs outside; Evulz is crushed by his own lair.
* '''Played For Drama''': The other party members ask Lila use her speed to scout around the map for them. However, they don't hear back from her anytime soon and they all [[KilledOffscreen assume the worst]].
