^ Thank-you, too. This is the first YKTTW I've really worked on, since I was never sure how to begin; I can build on a frame, but there has to be something around first. This one looked like a good trope worth the effort. If you want to take it over again, that's fine by me. :-) Anyway, a PlayingWith page. I'm really unsure of how accurate this is, so feedback would be greatly appreciated and very much needed. '''Basic Trope''': A character's hair color changes frequently. * '''Straight''': Alice's hair changes color often. * '''Exaggerated''': Alice's hair never stops changing color, going to something new every few seconds. ** Alice's hair changes between neon colors and patterns. * '''Downplayed''': Every few weeks or months, Alice's hair changes color. ** Alice's hair changes color regularly, but the difference is almost unnoticeable. * '''Justified''': Alice dyes her hair a new color every Saturday. * '''Inverted''': Everyone in Alice's world has ever-changing hair color, but Alice's remains constant. * Subverted: Alice isn't changing her actual hair color, she is swapping a collection of wigs around. ** Alice is actually changing which of her many bodies she is using; they are all identical, apart from hair color. * Double Subverted: Alice has undyed hair beneath the wigs, except there's only one wig after all, which she was dying; her scalp is too sensitive to use such chemicals. ** Alice frequently swaps which body she uses, but they do all have the same hair color; in each body, she has to dye her hair to a different hue to make it seem like her hair is changing colors when she switches body. * '''Parodied''': ??? * '''Deconstructed''': Alice's unpredictable hair color means she can't get a job because her employer thinks she's immature. ** Alice is only recognised by her hair, so when it changes nobody knows who she is. * '''Reconstructed''': Alice finds an employer who doesn't care about her quirky hair. ** People learn to tell who Alice is by other features that don't change. * '''Zig Zagged''': ??? * '''Averted''': Alice has lasting hair color. * '''Enforced''': The person illustrating the story keeps running out of paints and isn't good at getting the same hue twice, so Alice's hair changes color. * '''Lampshaded''': Alice notices her hair color changing a lot and wonders why it happens. * '''Invoked''': Bob sends Alice many shades of hair dye because he doesn't like her current brown hair. * '''Exploited''': Bob notices that Alice's hair changes color depending on her mood, and uses this to understand and talk to her better. * '''Defied''': Alice doesn't want her hair to change color, and gets a wig and permanent dye to prevent it. * '''Discussed''': Bob and Charlie talk about how Alice just got many shades of hair dye and will probably begin dying it a lot soon. * '''Conversed''': "In a cheap story like this, a way to make a character more interesting is to give them randomly changing hair colors." * '''Played For Laughs''': Alice's hair changes color at the most inappropriate times, with a loud bang. * '''Played For Drama''': Alice is desperate to find a way to stop her hair changing color because she feels it is ruining her life. * '''Plotted A Good Waste''': ???
