History PlayingWith / Determinator

* '''Reconstructed''': Alice's refusal to give up resonates with the people of Troperia, who start turning the tides against their oppressors, and the sight of her wound-covered body strikes fear into the hearts of their enemies; if these injuries can't stop Alice, what can?

** Alice keeps so much of her strength in reserve to make it look like she's fighting on pure spirit.

** Not giving up isn't a trait unique to Alice. In fact, a lot of people aren't likely to call it quits.

** Emperor Evulz finally kills Alice, she returns as a zombie. So Evulz destroys her body, her ghost continues to haunt him. Evulz uses his sorcery to contain her spirit in a small orb, but the orb would jump at his face whenever Evulz is nearby. He throws the orb Alice into ocean, ''but'' [[RuleOfFunny his teeth broke that evening when he accidentally bit a small orb in a cooked fish.]] Then the orb makes Evulz choke to death.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice gives up, but it turns out to be a trick to give the enemy a false sign of security. So they fight her again and this time, she really does seem to give up. But then it turns out to be part of another plan...

* '''Conversed''': "Wow, character Alice just never really seems to give up! I wish I was more like her".

** Alice's refusal to give up takes a heavy psychological toll on her troops, who eventually leave her to fight the enemy herself. The series ends with her [[DownerEnding facing thousands of soldiers by herself, when one pulls out a gun and shoots her in the forehead]], [[InstantDeathBullet killing her instantly]].
** Alice sustains heavy injury in battle, and refuses to retreat and regroup while there's still a fight to be won. Her weakened condition quickly proves detrimental, and leads to a swift defeat for her side.
** Alice realizes that this kind of attitude, over time, becomes really, really bad for your health. Some time after the battle, Alice is forced to deal with the personal consequences, with a [[DentedIron permanently and irrevocably crippled body]].

** Alice just naturally tries hard at things that she likes. Only things she likes. Other than that she has a hard time trying hard at anything else, so it's questionable if she's really this trope.

** Alice is a determinator not only in war, but in EVERY aspect of her life. She'd spend days not eating or sleeping just to, say, win a NintendoHard video game.
* '''Played For Drama''': Along with her soldiers, Alice charges Emperor Evulz his men, despite the enemy having overwhelming odds. She could've waited a little longer to gain more soldiers, but she didn't do so, being too determined to destroy the enemy. The men keep on fighting, until eventually, they all rout and Alice is the only one standing...
