Basic Trope: The great nature spirit of the setting's planet. Often female.

  • Straight: Flora is the spirit of Earth on whom seasons and weather depend.
  • Exaggerated: Flora is the Earth - the "planet" is her body.
  • Downplayed: Flora has Fertile Feet and can influence Earth's weather to some degree.
  • Justified: Earth is unstable and needs a deity to keep it living and turning.
  • Inverted:
  • Gender-Inverted: Father Nature - Flor - is the god of Earth.
  • Subverted: Flora is thought to be Earth spirit, but she's a Sealed Good in a Can and her can is Earth.
  • Double Subverted: ...but after thousands of years of being locked in, she becomes the Earth spirit.
  • Parodied: Flora is hippy, eco, bio goddess of Earth who works for all save-the-animals organization.
  • Zig Zagged: ???
  • Averted: There are no gods in the setting.
  • Enforced: "We need Green Aesop in the story - let's make a Nature embodiment to teach the children about protecting nature!"
  • Lampshaded: "So, she's, like - the Earth itself?" "No, just the goddess of it. But it sure looks like she's the Earth itself, doesn't it?"
  • Invoked: The Council of Gods decide to teach Flora responsibilities by making her the Goddess of Nature.
  • Exploited: Flora is Earth's Fisher Queen and a group of terrorists takes her hostage, threatening to kill her and by that, destroy the Earth.
  • Defied: Evil god Destructo kills Flora so that there will be no opposition to him.
  • Discussed: Two characters discuss whether a goddess worshiped by one of them is real.
  • Conversed: Two characters talk about the show in which one character turns out to be the Nature.
  • Implied: Earth's weather patterns seem to be actively aiding the heroes and the minions of Destructo are beaten off by moving trees. Characters wonder if there's some intelligence behind this.
