Basic Trope: Character likes the rain.

  • Straight: Alice loves dancing around in the rain.
  • Exaggerated: The whole cast loves the rain and does a conga line in it.
  • Downplayed:
    • Alice only likes the rain when she's in wet weather gear.
    • Alice is indifferent about the rain in contrast to Bob who hates it.
    • Alice doesn't like being rained on but likes listening to the rain.
  • Justified:
    • There was a drought.
    • Alice just likes the rain.
    • Alice had reunited with a lost loved one she hasn't seen in years.
    • It was hot and Alice wanted to cool down.
    • Alice wanted rain because her farm was drying out.
    • Nature's fire brigade is coming to the rescue.
  • Inverted: Grey Rain of Depression.
  • Subverted: Alice starts crying.
  • Double Subverted: She was crying Tears of Joy.
  • Parodied: Alice grumbles when the forecast predicts rain but it doesn't actually rain.
    Alice: "Ugh, the forecast said it was going to rain all day yesterday and it only rained in the evening"
  • Zigzagged: Alice loves the rain, Bob hates it, Carol is indifferent, and Danny hates being outside in the rain but quite enjoys listening to it indoors.
  • Averted: Alice isn't happy with the rain.
  • Lampshaded: "I love the rain!"
  • Enforced: "Rain gets such a bad rap...let's make a character who enjoys it!"
  • Invoked: Someone with weather powers makes it rain after a drought.
  • Exploited: Alice's optimism cheers up other people who hate the rain.
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: "Does anybody else actually like the rain?"
  • Conversed: "So nice to see a character who actually likes the rain. The rain gets such a bad rap."
  • Implied: Alice is seen out in the rain, smiling.
  • Deconstructed: Alice's clothes get all wet and shrink.
    • While dancing outside, Alice is struck by lightning. Her legs are paralyzed, and she is unable to dance again, rain or not.
  • Reconstructed: She wears a raincoat and/or umbrella to mitigate/neutralise this issue on the future, or she doesn't wear clothes that shrink.
  • Played for Laughs: On a rainy day, Alice dances outside with her husband, kids, dog, and father-in-law and the neighbours from inside their house say "Oh, that crazy family is out there running around in the rain like a pack of lunatics again".
