'''Basic Trope''': We're told a character has a problem of some kind, but it never seems to have a true impact in the story.
* '''Straight''': Alice is said to have too much {{Pride}} for her own good, but survives many scrapes with the law through basic humility.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice purportedly flaunts every one of her accomplishments -- however minor -- in everyone else's face, but seems perfectly well-adjusted.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Alice often sneezes into the air without covering her nose.
** Princess Alice is a LethalChef in a story where everyone is royalty and thus has maids who cook delicious food for them anyway.
* '''Justified''':
** Alice's pride was stated by another character and is a lie.
** The narrator of the story tells the reader(s) of the story that Alice is extremely prideful. However, the narrator is an UnreliableNarrator.
** Alice isn't sure of herself and has poor self esteem.
** TimeMarchesOn. This is after [[PrideBeforeAFall the fall that pride comes before of]].
* '''Inverted''': [[InformedAbility We hear Alice knows an awesome technique, but we never see her using it]].
* '''Subverted''':
** Alice really ''can't'' do something that the audience has been told she can't do.
** Alice does, in fact, have a tendency to rub everything about her into someone.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** Except her mind was elsewhere the first time we saw her try to carry out that task. Under normal circumstances, she could just as easily do it without looking.
** When we see her rattling off her LongList of accomplishments, she is doing so to rid herself of Dale, an AbhorrentAdmirer who [[EveryoneHasStandards at least doesn't have a catastrophically high opinion of himself]].
* '''Parodied''': Fiction Broadcasting Station airs a profile of "Proud" Alice and her highly successful charitable foundation, the Friends of Orphaned Trope Links.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Dale complains about Alice's AwesomeEgo for the first book and a half, until she wakes up realizing it was AllJustADream. Then, the first time she runs into Dale while awake, he tricks her into showing off her lack of skill at Game X in front of an 80,000-strong crowd, but his target wasn't ''our'' Alice, but one ''Alessandra'', who often goes by "Alice".
* '''Averted''': We're told Alice's flaw, [[ShowDontTell and we get to see firsthand instances of how it affects her]].
* '''Enforced''': "Alice is a [[invoked]]MarySue, but she's a minor character and [[TemptingFate the fans won't give a flying fart about her]] ... just say she's got a penchant for boasting and release the product."
* '''Lampshaded''': "Dale, you can't call me proud. If anything, I'm too humble. If pride were really my FatalFlaw, how come I've never had an axe in my eye for saying I could throw one when I couldn't?"
* '''Invoked''': Alice is trying to infiltrate the inner circle of a BigBad who takes great pleasure in indulging in all SevenDeadlySins.
* '''Exploited''': A VillainWithGoodPublicity fabricates a story about Alice doing something heinous [[HeroWithBadPublicity to discredit her]].
* '''Defied''': Knowing that people think she's smug, Alice resolves to eliminate all traces of egotism from her outlook, to the point of [[HireTheCritic asking her hyper-observant ex-boyfriend Mike to keep a constant eye on her and viciously rebuking her if she makes a mistake]].
* '''Discussed''': "Alice is a lot nicer in person than her lousy reputation implied."
* '''Conversed''': "For all this talk of 'Proud' Alice, she was really not written to be that hubristic."
* '''Played For Laughs''': The narrator is an UnreliableNarrator and tells us that Alice has a problem but we regularly see the opposite.
* '''Played For Drama''': ''Alice'' is the UnreliableNarrator and, unsure of her own ability, constantly downplays it. She tells us that her FatalFlaw (or a list of fatal flaws) are this, but in actuality, the characters can see that the FatalFlaw is really Alice's self-esteem.
