** Alice is a KnightTemplar.

** Alice is rapidly becoming just as brutal as, [[HeWhoFightsMonsters if not WORSE than]][[EvilVersusEvil her villains]], and when she's killed all of the real threats to society, she's still a dangerously unstable and violent individual.

** Alice kills criminals to make a world a better place, sounds good, right? Not when you realize the criminals she killed are no worse than a 2 bit {{con man}}, AND the fact that none of her victims killed anyone at all, [[DesignatedHero unlike her]]. Even worse, she both [[KarmaHoudini gets away scot-free]] and [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality gets portrayed in a sympathetic light despite her actions]]. This proves Alice is no better than the criminals she kills.

* '''Averted''': [[IdealHero All the heroes in the story actually act conventionally heroic.]]

** Alice is rapidly becoming just as brutal as, [[HeWhoFightsMonsters if not WORSE than]], [[EvilVersusEvil her villains]], and when she's killed all of the real threats to society, she's still a dangerously unstable and violent individual.

** [[GrumpyBear Alice]] tries to bring about her own brand of harsh justice, but she lives in a SugarBowl society where there's hardly ever even any conflict -- Alice spends most of her time {{angst}}ing that there's nothing to {{Angst}} about.

** Alice likes to think she's a heroic individual, [[DesignatedHero she's anything but]] and [[TheFriendNobodyLikes her fellow heroes and heroines aren't even convinced that she's good.]]
