Added DiffLines:

* BerserkButton: Rachel has a 'few', but calling her a Nazi (or implying she 'is' one) is one of the biggest. Harming Taylor quickly becomes another one.


Added DiffLines:

* RainbowSpeak: Rachel's inner monologue (and the faux voting options at the end of each chapter) occasionally changes colors between '''[[blue:blue]]''', '''[[gold:yellow]]''' or '''[[red:red]]'''. While it hasn't been stated within the story what those different colors mean, WordOfGod has stated that they're meant to be different aspects of herself.

These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.

EvilerThanThou: '''Evangeline Zoranski'''. Few people can look at a gang of Neo-Nazis and assorted racial supremacists and quietly seethe that they're not extreme enough.

!!''Gestalt'' provides examples of:

* BadassBoast: Rachel gives an absolutely, eerily beautiful one to the trio:
---> "By they way... Little word of warning: If I find any surprises inside my locker... or ''Taylor's''..."
--->You can feel your cheeky demeanour evaporate, and allow the Puella Magi to show through. Emma and Madison take a step back at the look you give them, although you have to give Shadow Stalker credit for not backing down.
--->''"I will change your lives."​''

* CoolGun: Rachel's weapon. It's a machine gun [[SmallGirlBigGun as long as she is tall]] [[MoreDakka with a firing rate so great that it looks more like a laser than a stream of bullets.]]
*EldritchAbomination: Witches, as usual.
---> '''Taylor:''' ''You could feel something inside of you recoil at the sight of the Witch. Some deep, primal part of yourself that just'' knows ''that This'' Thing ''Should Not Be. That it is'' Wrong. ''You've heard the word "Abomination" get tossed around by some of the louder E88 gangsters, and you suddenly have the urge to grab one by the hair and drag them here, because'' this ''is what "Abomination"'' means.
*OneSteveLimit: Played Straight in the fic itself so far, but [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in context of canon Literature/{{Worm}}. The fic's main character is Rachel, no relation, and it prominently features Sarah, also no relation.

--> While out doing Magical Girl Shit, you, Rachel (no, not that one), accidentally stick your nose in the world of Capes. You will most certainly [[red:Regret]] this.

Gestalt is a Literature/{{Worm}} / Anime/{{Puella Magi Madoka Magica}} crossover written by Dalek Ix.

Written in second person and presented in the style of a Quest, it centers on Rachel Zoranski, a Puella Magi living in Brockton Bay. While hunting for Witches in Winslow High, she stumbles upon three girls filling a locker with waste for a prank.

Needless to say, Rachel doesn't find it nearly as funny as they do.

Throwing '''The Locker''' into a Witch's "face" and thus derailing Worm's canon plot, Rachel next finds herself in the misery of Winslow High, juggling school bullies, racial gangs, unpleasant Capes, hostile neighbors, the local magically-empowered {{Troll}}, [[ThoseWackyNazis her family]] and her newest friend, one Taylor Hebert.

It can only get '''[[red:worse]]''' from here.
