Basic Trope: A Light Novel female character who comes from a high-status family (often nobility), who is ostracized for harboring a highly-destructive power, seeks to prove her worth, and always fails at her efforts for some reason until she meets the Stock Light-Novel Hero.
- Straight: Alice Scarlet III is a redhead noble girl whose destructive fire powers, manifested into a sword, cause problems in her homeland, which added to her cold attitude and rare beauty, gets her ostracized for it. She enlists in Tropeland Magic Academy to prove herself, but her reckless attitude causes her to screw up and has a beef with a purple-haired girl named Violet, who is proficient in water magic. However, she meets a boy named Hiro, who turns out to be a key ally to her goals and desperately needs him.
- Exaggerated: Imperial Princess Alice Riess-Lambert Dahlia-Scarletflame IX is the World's Most Beautiful Woman and harbors extremely destructive fire magic to the point she can lay waste to entire cities in seconds. Thus she becomes Persona Non Grata in most towns and ends up banished from the Empire for it. However, her encounter with Hiro becomes a key part to her journey and desperately needs his help to return home and prove she can control her power.
- Downplayed: Alice Scarlet is a fairly formidable fire mage whose prowess only gets her ostracized by the local Girl Posse and other particularly vicious students. While Alice seeks to prove herself, she still has friends that accept her for who she is, and while she is Hiro's main love interest, she can fare well on her own at times.
- Justified: There were criminals with destructive powers equal to or worse than Alice Scarlet III's before she was born. Therefore, people won't take kindly to people with such power even if they're a noble or a royal. This drives Alice to master her powers and prove she's not a criminal. When she meets Hiro, she enlists his help because he was the only one who treated her kindly.
- Parodied:
- Alice Scarlet III's power is so destructive to the point her family's servants have to wheel her to Tropeland Magic Academy strapped to a hand truck, Hannibal Lecter-style, in her first day. Moreover, the school staff crafts a special, stringent set of rules applying to her, and ONLY to her, which causes Alice no end of trouble and bullying.
- Alice Scarlet III's presence in a town by herself is enough to trigger emergency alert bells/horns, alerting the townsfolk into running to their nearest shelters or flee the town as soon as possible, as if preparing for an impending explosion. Once positions are taken, the townsfolk will be advised to stay where they are until she leaves. Of course, this swiftly turns on its head as Alice Scarlet III's presence turns from a fearsome force of destruction to a complete laughingstock once news has broken out that she's in cahoots with Hiro.
- Invoked: Alice Scarlet III has destructive fire magic and has wiped the floor with many of her classmates at Tropeland since childhood. In response to a recent string of defeats, Violet, the resident ice mage and Alpha Bitch, bullies her into attacking or accidentally destroying school property as part of a smear campaign. Needless to say, Violet succeeds in her plan and causes Alice to become a pariah in high school, unable to shake off her bad reputation. Until Hiro comes over and takes her into his harem, that is.
- Inverted:
- Alice is a commoner girl with no special powers and average appearance, but her gentle demeanor and kind personality make her loved by the other characters, and therefore, only sees Hiro as a friend upon meeting him.
- Clay is a commoner boy who's only good with physical fighting (such as brawls or swordfights) and has practically 0 hope at practicing magic spells, bears the Face of a Thug, but his gentle demeanor and kind personality make him loved by the other characters (not to mention he's surprisingly quick at forgiving perverts, accidental or not), and while there's some Ho Yay here and there with Hiro, Clay ultimately sees Hiro as a friend upon meeting him. In fact, Clay might even become more competent while within Hiro's company; While Back-to-Back Badasses get common with Hiro and Clay, Clay tends to fend extremely well on his own, even up against other, scarier opponents.
- Exploited:
- Alice Scarlet III is a Master Swordswoman with destructive fire magic, but is also a Spoiled Brat who uses the latter to scare her weaker classmates into submission whenever she can. Moreover, she is also versed in manipulation, which she uses to sway the kindhearted Hiro into her side with sob stories and use him as her personal bodyguard, much to the dismay of his other haremettes.
- Knowing that Alice Scarlet III has a destructive power level, her father, King Bob Scarlet V, sends her away in disguise to a rival kingdom's Wizarding School with the hope she'll end up destroying that country instead. When Hiro and his harem come into the picture, the King offers them a handsome reward in exchange for helping Alice in her goals.
- Defied: Alice Scarlet III learns to open herself up to others who are willing to befriend her and even acknowledges her former goal as a lost cause. Afterward, she looks for a way to channel her destructive powers into something positive and then find another goal she can accomplish in her current state. She has completely gotten over it by the time she and Hiro meet.
- Averted: There's no Calamity Princess in the work.
- Deconstructed:
- Alice Scarlet III's destructive powers and aloof demeanor cause her to become a pariah, affecting her mental health as she keeps working herself to prove her worth and skill. This results in Alice neglecting her basic needs like eating or sleeping, resulting in her often falling ill. By the time Hiro enters the picture, she has been reduced to a sickly girl on the verge of collapsing from constant exertion and even worse control over her powers.
- Once she's accepted in Hiro's harem team, Alice Scarlet III messes things up for them at Tropeland with her bullheaded attitude and wish to prove herself at every opportunity. At first, Hiro shuts down his other haremettes' suggestions of "promoting" Alice to a made-up higher position where she can't do any more damage, be it Mission Control or similar, but ends up reconsidering it when Alice causes a serious accident that takes a significant body count.
- Alice Scarlet III is so determined to prove she can control her destructive magic that she can't contemplate learning a non-destructive type of magic or finding another approach to the one she already has. Even after joining Hiro's harem, he too starts getting tired of her passive-aggressive remarks and bullheaded attitude. Alice sees herself kicked out in a few weeks, now completely alone against the world as she lost the only one who could help her.
- Reconstructed: Having learned her plucky attitude has driven away the only man who could help her succeed in her goals, Alice Scarlet III calls it quits and embraces her role as a Calamity Princess, using her destructive magic to get back at the society who ostracized her. Therefore, Hiro and his harem must team up with the victimized kingdoms to either subdue or kill Alice before she could start her reign of terror.
- Played for Laughs: New student Alice Scarlet III was feared at first because of her destructive fire magic, but as she slowly becomes a laughingstock as her incompetence at handling her power causes it to blow up on her face in every match she fights. This also led to bullies challenging her to matches and standing idly by as things sort themselves out. Moreover, the moment she meets Hiro and joins his harem, all of them have to wear protective gear around her while Hiro helps her handle her magic, which makes her even more of a laughingstock than before. However, the progress she made with his help finally pays off.
- Played for Drama: Alice Scarlet III's desire to prove mastery of her destructive magic and therefore worthiness of better treatment leads her to make bad decisions, such as taking dangerous missions without minding the requirements or losing at tournaments for her recklessness, especially when her rival, Violet, is present. Not helping is that when she meets Hiro, she tries to burn him alive for accidentally walking in on her while changing clothes. As a result of this, Hiro takes Violet into his harem instead upon meeting her. Violet proves herself to be a much better addition due to her levelheaded and kind demeanor, as well as her superior skill despite not having destructive magic like Alice. However, Alice will still fight tooth-and-nail against Violet to regain Hiro's favor.
- Played for Horror: While Alice Scarlet III spends time honing her destructive magic, she meets a sketchy male student named Garou, who somehow knows Alice's plight and takes advantage of it, manipulating her into forming a contract with him. As a result, Garou enslaves Alice and uses her destructive powers to accomplish his goals instead, subjecting her to horrid abuse in the process until Hiro comes over to save her.
