'''Basic Trope''': A character behaves like he/she comes from a different time and place. Compare DiscoDan.
* '''Straight''': Alice wears a dress comparable to what a medieval PrincessClassic would wear, and is enamored with the idea of CourtlyLove with a KnightInShiningArmor.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Alice speaks in Olde English, and does not use modern technology. She also rides a horse everywhere, instead of a car. She believes everything made after the Renaissance, and modern [[ValuesDissonance values]] and practices just plain suck.
** Alice acts like a cavewoman.
* '''Downplayed''': Alice wears modern clothes and technology, but repeatedly stresses on the superiority of old-fashioned values over modern decadence and selfishness. Whether she is right, [[ValuesDissonance or simply not seeing the bad in the old ways]], is not determined.
* '''Justified''':
** Alice is a FishOutOfTemporalWater, obsessed with antiques and old history.
** In a form on inverse ValuesDissonance, Alice abhors the more modern-day morality as decadent and crude, focusing on antiquated values that [[ValuesResonance have stood the test of time.]]
* '''Inverted''':
** Alice uses only the speech patterns, technology, and style of the modern era.
** Or of the future.
** EvilReactionary
* '''Subverted''': Alice only wears her PrincessClassic dress to a medieval fair.
* '''Double Subverted''': Only to [[JustForFun/OneOfUs participate in]] a {{LARP}} on the way home...that begins to take on a life of its own.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Alice does not dress, speak, or behave like a noblewoman of the MiddleAges, but a regular woman of the modern era.
* '''Enforced''':
** RuleOfFunny
** Alternatively, [[WriterOnBoard trying to show that]] [[LuddWasRight modern technology and values have ruined society]], by using Alice as a {{Foil}}.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Alice looks like a fairy-tale princess, like she just stepped out of an Myth/ArthurianLegend or something."
* '''Invoked''': Alice participates in a really hardcore {{LARP}}, and one of its rules is not to break character at ''any'' time for ''any'' reason, even after going back home.
* '''Exploited''': In a FishOutOfTemporalWater situation:\\
\\
A) One mimics the GoodOldWays to not upset the "fish."\\
\\
B) The fish tries to mimic the way every else is acting to blend in.
* '''Defied''': Alice refuses to go anywhere without her cellphone, thinks CourtlyLove is a bunch of malarkey, [[RealWomenDontWearDresses never wears a dress of any kind]], and drives a car. She can't imagine ''not'' living in modern times!
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Deconstructed''':
** Everyone thinks Alice is a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, and she's thus alienating herself from others. She could also be missing out on a lot of good things of the modern era...like modern medicine.
** Alice's idolization of the past, intentionally or not, includes [[DeliberateValuesDissonance its more unsavory elements]].
* '''Reconstructed''':
** Alice learns that there's a time and a place for everything, and that modern stuff isn't all bad. She still likes the MiddleAges, but is able to channel that interest into something like studying medieval literature, or becoming a better DM. And because she isn't speaking in Olde English all the time, people understand her and get to know her, instead of staring and whispering.
** Alice asks herself the hard questions about the time period she idolizes. Her love for it still endures but it's tempered by a more thorough understanding of it.
* '''Played For Laughs''': Alice is a DiscoDan figure.
