Basic Trope: A graceful woman specializing in Black Magic.
- Straight: Alice is a Proper Lady who is older than Hiro and can cast offensive spells.
- Exaggerated: Alice is a Team Mom to the entire team, even to the supposed mentor! Her magic repertoire is also extensive — and destructive.
- Downplayed: Alice is a Cool Big Sis to Hiro. She's got a few basic offensive spells down but she's still a student working her way up.
- Justified: Alice studied magic for years to use them effectively. Along the way, she is also taught ethics and rightful behavior.
- Inverted:
- Alex is a Adorably Precocious Child who is younger than Hiro and can can cast offensive spells.
- The Ingenue White Magician Girl.
- Gender-Inverted: Alfred is a Gentleman Wizard who is also a mentor to Action Girl Alice.
- Subverted:
- Alice was later found out to be not so elegant, acting like The Lad-ette when not around her younger charges.
- Alice's spells aren't offensive types that directly deal damage.
- Double Subverted:
- She is still quite graceful while casting spells in battle.
- Alice knows how to be creative or resourceful with not-so-damaging spells. For example, a fire spell on some precariously-placed icicles above the enemies' heads in an ice cave.
- Parodied: Alice is Hiro's actual mother who continues to nag her son nearly to the point of embarrassment even as they're both fighting enemies.
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted:
- Alice does not specialize in offence magic.
- Black Magician Girl, where Alice is younger and does not act like a lady.
- Enforced: The creators or their bosses didn't want to have females deal with physical violence but also wanted to have them do something proactive against enemies.
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: Alice's normal manners are almost as offensive as her magic, which results in her having a hard time being taken seriously. She decides to clean up her act in order to show that she can be an asset to the group and that her attitude won't be a hindrance when they run into situations where social ability and not overwhelming firepower is the answer.
- Exploited: Alice's combination of grace and powerful magic ability makes her a good candidate to sneak into social circles as an undercover agent before a surprise attack. For either of the sides.
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Implied: A retired senior talked about his ally Alice in his old days.
