History PlayingWith / NotInThisForYourRevolution

** Alice is not the only person in the revolution fighting only for {{Revenge}} or cold, hard coin (and [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves the freedom to spend it]]). She is just the one who is more vocal about it.

* '''Lampshaded''': "Alice doesn't care about saving us. Se just wants to avenge her deceased siblings."

* '''Exaggerated''': Alice's in it simply because Bob bribed her with [[IWasToldThereWouldBeCake a chocolate cupcake]].

* Alice was bribed with [[OnlyInItForTheMoney money]], {{food|AsBribe}}, or something else that she cares about.
* Alice wasn't even aware of the war at first, being from a distant country. She ended up with the rebels because of circumstances out of her control and doesn't have enough context to form a proper political stance.

* Emperor Evulz is ''evil'' for non-personal reasons.
* Alice is the TheOnlyBeliever in the group.

* Alice [[BlatantLies lied about her intentions]].
* Alice eventually starts to care about the cause as much as the other members.

* '''Defied''': Because Alice is OnlyInItForTheMoney, the FiveManBand sits her down and explains to her just why their mission is so important, and why she should care.
** They also explain that because she's fighting on their team, the BigBad will be looking for her too.

* '''Deconstructed''': Because of the selfish motivations behind her actions, Alice goes down in history as a self-centered AntiHero.

* '''Discussed''': "Alice doesn't care about helping out a nation in need. She's just in it for his own reasons."

* Alice doesn't care what people think about her as long as she avenges her siblings.
* Her motives may not be as selfless as her comrades', but they're still entirely understandable, and her actual contributions to the war effort are more than enough for people to look past her motives anyway.

* '''Reconstructed''': Alice doesn't care what people think about her as long as she avenges her siblings.

* '''Straight''': Bob leads the people of Tropistan into battle to defeat [[BigBad Emperor Evulz]] and his army. Alice joins--however, she does not care about being a hero, or even defeating Emperor Evulz; she wants to kill TheDragon, [[YouKilledMyFather who murdered her]] MassiveNumberedSiblings many years ago.

* '''Enforced''': "We want to complicate our plot a bit, right? Let's make it so Alice and the villain have history together."

* '''Played For Drama''': Alice is a psychotic BloodKnight who joined the resistance because she loves fighting. Her team mates don't trust her and feel she'll turn on them if they win and the fighting stops.

You'll have to ask [[NotInThisForYourRevolution the main page]] about it, because I'm NotInThisForYourRevolution.

* '''Zig Zagged''': [[WeAREStrugglingTogeather Alice worked for a different resistance cell with a different ideology.]] [EnemyMine She was sent to aid Bob's cell after the two groups joined forces, but still thinks they're crazy.]]

* '''Played For Laughs''': Alice is a Tsundere who regularly makes impassioned speeches about the revolutionary cause before immediately denying she cares about it.
