'''Basic Trope''': Character is captured, but will not cooperate with the captors, no matter what fate may befall this person.

* '''Played For Drama''': Alice has a bad relationship with her father [[GoodCounterpart Baron Von Strohiem]] in part because her impulsive behavior constantly endangers both her and her siblings. He frowned upon the idea of Alice joining the fight again Von Bloodlust. When Bloodlust realizes that Alice was Strohiems offspring, he sends a message to Strohiem describing her execution, [[BrutalHonesty how defiant she was]] and that [[BlatantLies he would have spared her had she not spit on his face]].

** Alice's defiance is actively detrimental to her own cause. Instead of manning up, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm accepting her defat, cutting her losses]], and regrouping to recover from her failure and plan for a better attempt next time, she throws away the lives of her supporters for [[DoomedMoralVictor a meaningless display of self-sacrifice that doesn't actually accomplish anything]].
