Please help me list the tropes that I have inadvertently used

Reading TV Tropes instead of doing homework has given me great inspiration in designing the characters for my Light Novel. The idea of one day having my own page is pretty exciting for me. But I need help finding all the tropes because I only know the really general pages. Can anyone help me out?

By the way, it's a silly comedy so if anything sounds like it was designed by a 13-year old on DA or FF.net then it was on purpose. Ahem.

Kouzuki, Homuha

Birthdate: March 24, 16XX

Height: 154cm (5’0”)

Hair: Black Long Straight

Likes: Blood, Fighting, Killing Humans

Background: The sole daughter of the feared Kouzuki family. She is quite immature and tempermental, quickly resorting to yelling, crying, and fatal violence to solve even the smallest conflicts. Perhaps this is because a life of being raised into the next heir has made her lonely. But it’s not like she wants to make friends or anything!

Tropes: Tsundere, Hair-Trigger Temper

Katsura

Birthdate: November 13, 15XX

Height: 165cm (5’5”)

Hair: Silver Medium-length Neatly Bound

Likes: Cooking, Cleaning, Serving Homuha

Background: The graceful head maid of the Kouzuki mansion and Homuha’s personal maid. She was raised since birth by the Kouzuki family to become a maid capable of grooming the next heir. She is always there for Homuha, whether to serve her, comfort her, or punish her. And maybe she’s clumsier than she looks?

Tropes: Meido, Ninja Maid, Eyes Always Shut, Beware the Nice Ones

Anatolyevna Popova, Anna

Birthdate: February 29, 16XX

Height: 157cm (5’2”)

Hair: Light Brown Long Drills

Likes: Rifles, Vodka, Winning

Background: The esteemed heir of the Popov family. She is talented, powerful, beautiful, and proud of it. She is also the most respected secret agent in the Russian underground, having traveled all over the world and never failing to take down her target. When not on missions, she can be found defeating Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin in bear wrestling and drinking contests.

Tropes: The Mafiya, Ojou

Hitora, Erika

Birthdate: April 20, 16XX

Height: 156cm (5’1”)

Hair: Dark Brown Short

Likes: Computers, The Internet, Nazis, Boy’s Love

Background: The bespectacled daughter of the Hitora family (close friends of the Kouzuki family), she refers to others as “untermensch”. In the past, she could be seen playing outside with Homuha and Katsura, but those days are long gone. Nowadays, she is always in her room browsing sites such as the “Neo-Nazi Boy’s Love Forum”.

Tropes: Hikikomori, Meganekko, Nazi Germany, Fujoshi

Nyao-chan

Birthdate: July 4, 15XX

Height: 170cm, 140cm in child form (5’7”, 4’7”)

Hair: Blonde Long Wavy (Blonde Short Pig-tails in child form)

Likes: Playing, Eating, Swimming

Background: A tanned, busty, blonde bombshell from Southeast Asia, and close friend of Katsura. Many years ago, she earned the name “Annihilator: Goddess of War and Death” on the battlefield, but the horrors of the Vietnam War reformed her ways. She now spends her time in child form, playing outside, drawing with crayons, and watching cartoons.

Tropes: Dark Skinned Blond, Token Loli, Dual Age Modes, Sleep-Mode Size

General Tropes: Our Vampires Are Different (They are all vampires, durr), Elegant Gothic Lolita (They are all dressed as such), Pink Bishojo Ghetto, Really 700 Years Old

Are you writing in Japanese? I don't understand how a Light Novel would be possible in English.

Why isn't it possible in English? My drafts are in the Light Novel style (short paragraphs and dialogue driven). If you want to get picky, just consider it original fiction .

If you have at least part of a draft for us to read, post that instead of a character list.

Forget the tropes until after you're done.

This, at the very least.

Tropes are fun to read about on this wiki, but troping should not affect your writing.

Seconded (thirded?).

&&He just thinks it'd be fun to see what tropes he's already used in his work. Nothing wrong with that.

(But as Lenardy said, just listing the characters doesn't help. One would need to actually read the story.)

Is your light novel a yuri one?

Homuha sounds like a Blood Knight, and maybe (depending on how evil a Blood Knight she is) a Dark Action Girl as well.

Since you mentioned "busty" in Nyao-chan's description, might as well add Buxom Is Better (or Gag Boobs, depending on the specific size you're going with) to her list of tropes. Also add War Is Hell, since she was obviously scarred by her time in 'Nam.

I'll think on the others, but not sure what else I can add right now... maybe I'll post some more later.
