History DarthWiki / MileySmall

* SerialRapist: Mike's whole schtick. Though it can be hard to tell, since most of his victims are experiencing StockholmSyndrome.

* StockholmSyndrome: Most of Mike's victims end up this way, which is completely intentional on his part. Even Miley sort of starts to slip into this.

* UnwantedRescue: Miley teeters on this while her friends try to get her away from Mike. While she was actively trying to tell them that something's wrong, she starts to have second thoughts when they actually help her. Partly because she's experiencing StockholmSyndrome, and beceause she feels like she [[HeroicSelfDeprecation deserves it]] due to her actions before her FaceHeelTurn. Leads to a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre moment.

* SweaterGirl: A rare male example with Mike.

* LoveYouAndEverybody: Miley does this pretty frequently, usually because she's pretty open about being [[UsefulNotes/RomanticOrientation aromantic]] and doesn't expect anyone to think she's talking about anything else.

* TheyWouldCutYouUp: Miley tells many non-human characters this so they don't follow her straight to the [[Wiki/SCPFoundation Foundation.]]

* RapunzelHair: Miley's hair starts out at neck length and grows longer as the story goes on, resulting in calf-length hair by the most recent installment. Results in CompressedHair occasionally, especially during the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' verse.

* BrainUploading: Happens pretty often. Miley makes lots of androids this way, [[MoralDissonance using the test subjects in cryostasis.]]

* AbsurdPhobia: For Miley: slugs, being eaten, and [[IronicFear dying.]] She gets over all of these except slugs.
** She later starts to develop {{Claustrophobia}} and a [[AfraidOfDoctors fear/intense hatred of doctors]]. Justified, since she's had traumatic experience with both, [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs sometimes at the same time.]]

** CoveredWithScars: Miley, due to frequently testing with turrets and lasers. (And of course, misadventures in video games.)
** PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars: Plenty for Miley. Particularly when she has some of her [[VideoGame/{{Outlast}} fingers are]] [[{{Fingore}} cut off]] and later, some toes.

* AlternateSelf: [[EvilTwin Mike]] and Miley are to each other.
** AlternateUniverse: Mike comes from an alternate version of Miley's universe, where everyone identifies as close to the opposite gender as possible (e. g., a genderless person identifies as pangender, a demiboy identifies as a demigirl, etc.) and Mike doesn't get [[TrappedInTVLand Trapped in Video Game Land]]. Since this was a huge factor in Miley's HeelFaceTurn, Mike continued to be amoral until he turned into an absolute Monster.

** HollywoodAutism: Also averted. Being written by a person with the same or similar disorders, it's pretty accurate in its portrayal.
* AnArmAndALeg: Miley loses her leg during ''[[VideoGame/MassEffect3 Mass Effect]]'', and she later [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome tears off]] [[RapeAndRevenge Mike's arm.]]

* {{Asexuality}}: Miley. Cáel is demisexual.

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: A lot of trouble with Mike could have been avoided if Miley had realized she could use the [[TurnBasedCombat battle system]] outside of the ''{{VideoGame/Undertale}}'' universe sooner.

** FakeMemories: All she knows is that she needs to report on whatever's going on inside the asylum.

** CreepyChild: Chara randomly appears in the background for a [[FreezeFrameBonus single shot]] sometimes, usually while or after Miley uses the battle system.

** ImmortalityHurts: Particularly during the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' series, where Miley is [[AndIMustScream shred to pieces]], [[MadnessMantra over, and over, and over,]] ''[[MadnessMantra and over.]]''

* {{Transgender}}: Many characters. Miley (and by extension, Mike,) Sinclair, Joker, Vic, Darren, Jack Polley, Lorne, Eliott, Jim, Vega...

The lab is eventually [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters purged of all the scientists by their own creations]] (which may or may not have had something to do with Miley) and is left with two test subjects, Miley and Will. [[{{Portal}} A certain series of events proceeds to takes place.]]

** PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars: Plenty for Miley. Particularly when she has some of her [[{{Outlast}} fingers are]] [[{{Fingore}} cut off]] and later, some toes.

* BackFromTheDead: This happens to Miley at least [[Bioshock2 two]] [[VideoGame/MassEffect2 times]] (not counting her ResurrectiveImmortality) and also Sinclair, by using the Vita-Chambers.

** The patients from ''{{Outlast}}'' call her Annie. Some of them do this even after she remembers her real name.
** In ''Bioshock2'', Miley is called [[YouAreNumberSix Subject Delta]].

** Like with Frisk, no one in the ''{{Undertale}}'' verse asks Miley for her name until the very end. Those who refer to her by a name call her Chara.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: There are a few things that the ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' cast notices when Miley visits with Mike.

* RapunzelHair: Miley's hair starts out at neck length and grows longer as the story goes on, resulting in calf-length hair by the most recent installment. Results in CompressedHair occasionally, especially during the ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' verse.

* SkewedPriorities: Joker being the ''only'' thing in the ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' verse Miley cares about leads to this.

* UndeadChild: Chara after the ''{{Undertale}}'' verse.

* YourTomcatIsPregnant: Miley finds out her [[PetMonstrosity deathclaw]], [[FluffyTheTerrible Bud]], is a matriarch. Not from it getting pregnant, however. It's actually thought to be sterile.

** AlternateUniverse: Mike comes from an alternate version of Miley's universe, where everyone identifies as close to the opposite gender as possible (e. g., a genderless person identifies as pangender, a demiboy identifies as a demigirl, etc.) and Mike doesn't get [[TrappedInTVLand Trapped in Video Game Land]]. Since this was a huge factor in Miley's HeelFaceTurn, Mike continued to be amoral until he turned into a CompleteMonster.

* GenderFlip: James Vega, to prevent Miley from [[AllMenAreRapists flipping out]] when Vega is assigned to be her guard.

** WindowsOfTheSoul: Miley (and by extension Mike's) eyes are described as soul-piercing, and she can make people feel as though she has killing intent if she [[DeathGlare stares enough.]]

** Everyone in the ''MassEffect'' verse calls her Shepard, because they believe it's her real name.

* BackFromTheDead: This happens to Miley at least [[Bioshock2 two]] [[MassEffect2 times]] (not counting her ResurrectiveImmortality) and also Sinclair, by using the Vita-Chambers.

* DevotedToYou: Miley to Joker. She actually states that he's the only thing in the entire ''MassEffect'' universe she actually cares about saving. [[CannotSpitItOut Although she's vague about it.]]

* AnArmAndALeg: Miley loses her leg during ''[[VideoGame/MassEffect3 Mass Effect]]'', and she later [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome tears off]] [[RapeAndRevenge Mike's arm.]]

* {{Transsexual}}: Many characters. Miley (and by extension, Mike,) Sinclair, Joker, Vic, Darren, Jack Polley, Lorne, Eliott, Jim, Vega...

* ScrewYourself: Mike and Miley. Not used as FetishFuel or PlayedForLaughs, at all, considering it's nonconsensual on Miley's end.

* TheyWouldCutYouUp: Miley tells many non-human characters this so they don't follow her straight to the [[ScpFoundation foundation.]]

* AlternateTimeline: Ideally, there would be BSideComics exploring different events and outcomes, the main ones being:
** Eva. Miley uses her EmotionSuppression for a particularly long time after a trauma experienced sometime during ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', which then develops into a SplitPersonality, creating Eva.
** The sibling AU with Mike and Miley. Not what it sounds like. Mike still does all the horrible things he does in the main timeline, but he doesn't do them to Miley. This is because when his mother died, she was pregnant with his sister, Miley Eva Small. Mike considers Miley to be his sister instead of [[AlternateSelf himself]], and is very fond of her. '''[[BrotherSisterIncest Very]]''' [[BrotherSisterIncest fond of her]].
[[folder: Tropes related to the Eva AU]]
* EmotionlessGirl: Eva.
* NervesOfSteel: That's pretty much the whole reason Eva exists ([[DoubleMeaning meaning both why she's needed]] [[EmotionSuppression and how she came to be.]])
* VagueAge: Alters don't have to be the same age as their host. Eva knows she's at least younger than Miley, maybe around 25.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Tropes related to the Small Siblings AU]]
* TheCorrupter: Mike, before the foundation incident, constantly tries to [[WeCanRuleTogether convince Miley to try out]] the [[SerialRapist awful things]] he's known for doing.
* IOweYouMyLife: Mike has this attitude towards Miley after she [[TheyWouldCutYouUp saves him from the foundation]].
* MoralityChain: Miley keeps Mike around to prevent him from hurting anyone. She's very careful not to let him out of her sight.
* NotBloodSiblings: May explain why Mike hits on Miley, although he pretty frequently states that he considers her his sister even if she's from another universe.
* ThinkTwins: Mike and Miley.

[[/folder]]

* BreedingSlave: Mike's version of Cáel is treated this way. This is presented to be as horrific as it really is.

* TheJailBaitWait: Miley does this with SCP-507. [[WhatHaveIDone She later acknowledges that entering a relationship with him at all was wrong.]]

* SurpriseParty: Joker throws Miley one of these, believing that her (misinterpreted as) suicidal behavior is at least partly due to feeling unappreciated. He uses her ChronicHeroSyndrome to keep her out of her house (accompanied by Kaidan, because you don't leave suicidal people alone.)

* {{Transsexual}}: Many characters. Sinclair, Joker, Vic, Darren, Jack Polley, Lorne, Eliott, Jim, Vega...

* BreedingSlave: Mike's version of Cáel is treated this way. This is presented to be as horrific as it really is.

** Played a little more straight forward after EDI's death. Miley feels like it would have been avoided if she had just left from the beginning like she wanted to. [[ManipulativeBastard Mike actually tries to use this against her]] to get her to stay, even though it's sort of a NoodleIncident to him.

* KillingIntent: While it's more like ''harming'' intent, Mike has this pretty much all the time. His version of Cáel describes it as feeling like you're trapped in a room with an apex predator.

* MayDecemberRomance: Sinclair is twice Miley and Cáel's age.

* NoodleIncident: Miley makes jokes about having traumatized Cáel by making pancakes, and never specifies why or how it was traumatic.

* KillingIntent: While it's more like ''harming'' intent, Mike has this pretty much all the time. His version of Cáel describes it as feeling like you're trapped in a room with an apex predator.

* ClusterBleepBomb: Something like this happens during the ''VideoGame/YumeNikki'' verse. Miley falls asleep in Masada's crashed ship with the cat effect equipped, and when she wakes up she finds that several martians have been drawn into the ship. She jumps up and starts hissing and growling, as it's the only speech the cat effect allows, but when she switches to the knife...

* PlatonicLifePartners: Miley and Cáel. Others later get dragged into the mix as well.

** That is, until Mike shows up. It still happens off-screen, but to say it's only implied would be pretty generous, considering how straightforward Mike is about what he wants and what he's going to do.

* SplitPersonality: Cáel has dissociative identity disorder, and has five alters; John, Miss Kathy/Grandma, James, Devon, and Lily.

* AnArmAndALeg: Miley loses her leg during ''[[VideoGame/MassEffect3 Mass Effect]]'', and she later [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome tears off]] [[RapeAndRevenge Mike's arm.]]

* PerpetualSmiler: Miley is this before the ''{{VideoGame/Outlast}}'' shift. Mike counts too.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Miley and Cáel. Others later get dragged into the mix as well.
* RaceFetish: Discussed. Miley begins to wonder if her fondness for robots counts as this, since synthetics are considered their own race in ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' and ''VideoGame/Fallout4''.
