This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread

'''SPOILERS FROM BOTH THE STORY AND THE SHOW ARE UNMARKED.'''
[[foldercontrol]]
!!Tropes:
[[folder:{{Adaptation Deviation}}s compared to the original]]
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Penny and Salem show up in the second chapter. Penny was introduced in Chapter 5 in the first fic, and Salem didn't show up until Chapter 9.
* AdaptationalJobChange:
** Torchwick was an organ trader in the original fic. Here, he is a {{human trafficker|s}}. As such, several others who are (or were) under his employ have different jobs.
*** Watts was working for Torchwick in his organ-harvesting operation. Here, he's Salem's resident tech expert.
*** Nia was working with Torchwick to get women to harvest organs from. Now, she is actually his [[TheDragon enforcer]].
*** Tyrian is now Salem's devoted enforcer rather than an organ harvester for Torchwick.
** Lil' Miss Malachite worked with the Branwens and was more of an informant. Now, she is a drug dealer primarily as well as being an informant.
** Emerald was simply Cinder's assistant in the original fic. Here, she's CoDragons with Mercury.
* AdaptationalVillainy:
** Sienna Khan was a heroic figure and political activist. With Robyn Hill presumably taking over that part considering her role in canon, Sienna went back to being a villain.
** Emerald seems much more ruthless compared to her meek self in the original fic.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Rather than being an EvilAlbino like in the original, Salem has her original canon appearance with blonde hair, blue eyes, and naturally pale skin.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Roman was in a sexual relationship with Nia in the original, but that does not seem to be the case here since he's having one with Lil' Miss instead.
* AscendedExtra:
** Weiss' parents were only used as a part of her ComingOutStory in the original fic. Jacques seems to have a much larger role by involving himself in politics.
** Salem seems to be more involved in the plot.
----
[[/folder]]
* AbledInTheAdaptation: Mercury had his legs cut off on the show, but there is no indication that he has lost them here.
* AbusiveParents: The way Salem acts around Cinder implies that she is sexually abusive and has been in the past. One of the tags seems to confirm this.
* AccompliceByInaction: The reason the Schnee Energy Corporation has such a bad reputation of being an associate with the White Fang is that they threatened to hurt his family if he didn't allow them to operate freely. As such, many people believe that he is actively working with them when he has little interaction with them other than staying out of their way.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Jacques Schnee in canon was an {{Abusive Parent|s}}, a CorruptCorporateExecutive, and willing to work with villains to get what he wants. Jacques Schnee here is an HonestCorporateExecutive, a genuinely {{Good Parent|s}}, and was forced into acquiescing to the White Fang's demands so they wouldn't hurt his family or business.
* AdaptationalMundanity: Like the original, this is set in [[LikeRealityUnlessNoted a real-world setting]]. Which means there are no {{Battle Aura}}s, no Semblances, no [[AnimalisticAbomination Grimm beasts]], no [[LittleBitBeastly Faunus]], and no [[AppliedPhlebotinum Dust]]. Because of the last one, the Schnee Dust Corporation becomes the Schnee Energy Corporation. In addition, the White Fang is a mob faction rather than a terrorist organization.
* AdaptationDyeJob:
** Nia has uniformly brown hair, and while she has heterochromia, she has a blue eye instead of a pink one.
** Salem brings up the fact that Cinder dyed her hair black when it was originally blonde.
* AdaptationNameChange:
** "Cinder" and "Salem" are implied to be aliases.
** Neopolitina changes to Nia Poletti.
** Vine Zeki becomes Vince Zeki. The author admits that they'd have a tougher time selling the fact that a man is named "Vine" in the real world.
* AntagonisticOffspring: Cinder makes no secret that she loathes Salem. Not that it deters Salem from being [[ParentalIncest affectionate with her]], possibly adding more resentment.
-->'''Salem:''' You really should have kept your hair blonde. I liked it better.\\
'''Cinder:''' I know you do. That's why I fucking dyed it.
* ChubbyChaser: Lil' Miss calls Roman out for being this when she mentions why he likes her, saying that there's "more to love."
* DisabledInTheAdaptation:
** Torchwick was an experienced fighter in canon. He requires the assistance of a cane to walk here.
** Whitley was mentioned to be wheelchair-bound thanks to the White Fang. He walks perfectly fine in canon.
* {{Expy}}: Salem took cues from [[Anime/KillLaKill Ragyo Kiryuin]] in the original fic, and this seems to be true here as well. She is an EvilMatriarch who gets incredibly touchy-feely with her daughter, and assists said daughter in her villainous exploits (even though she'd prefer her not to do so).
* {{Fat B|astard}}itch: Lil' Miss is a hefty gangster who is quite known for her weight.
* FunetikAksent: Lil' Miss' southern accent is written in this way.
* HappilyMarried: Ruby and Blake have a rather loving relationship.
* HartmanHips: Ruby lampshades this about Harriet when she mentions that Cardin keeps trying to grab her sss.
-->''"Well, there is a lot to grab."''
* HenpeckedHusband: She's not even married to him anymore, but Lil' Miss' dynamic with Junior still carries undertones of this. She likely was the one wearing the pants in the relationship when they were married.
* KingpinInHisGym: Cinder is seen sparring with Mercury in a gym during Chapter 2. It also doubles as WorkoutFanservice since [[MsFanservice Cinder]] is only in a sports bra and shorts while Mercury is {{shirtless|Scene}}.
* MissKitty: Yang happens to be the successful owner of her own brothel called the [[StealthPun Sun Dragons]]. Unlike most versions of the trope, she is much younger and still participating in the sex work herself.
* NightmareFetishist: Penny ([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer yes]], [[{{Adorkable}} that Penny]]) is introduced showing an almost child-like glee looking at the aftermath of Tyrian's attack on the White Fang safehouse. She mentions that she has a collection of gruesome crime-scene photos -- some of which she keeps on her phone.
* NeverMyFault: Cardin refuses to take responsibility for screwing up the drug bust he was working on.
* PragmaticVillainy: As much as Cinder [[{{Sadist}} would love to spill some blood]], she intends to work with the White Fang to reach a resolution. One reason why Tyrian's slaughter at their safehouse annoys her, making things difficult to start negotiations.
* TheQueenpin: Cinder and Sienna both run organized crime in their cities.
* RealityEnsues:
** Ruby acknowledges the crap-load of paperwork that comes with the job. And she can't just go out to investigate her own leads without having that filed.
** Now that sex work is a legal profession, that also comes with the paperwork necessary for running a legal business. Especially when you own an establishment for this exact purpose. And new employees have to fill out the proper forms to start working there.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: Compared to Yang, Pyrrha is less into her job as a sex worker.
* {{Sadist}}: Cinder takes pleasure in torturing others and seems to be an avid TortureTechnician.
* WouldHurtAChild: It is implied that the White Fang is not above this. Qrow implies that Whitley was harmed due to Jacques interfering with his business.
