History PlayingWith / FertileFeet

** Alice has to be [[TooImportantToWalk carried when around nature in most climates]] because of her FertileFeet. While the flowers are beautiful [[RealityEnsues they are a virulent invasive species which are poisonous to livestock and any human who eats them]]. Walking about outside on his own two feet would cause serious harm. There are some medicinal usages but they need to be done with great caution by experts.

* '''Subverted''': Alice wants to prove to Bob she's TheChosenOne by making flowers grow under her feet. She firmly steps into the ground... But nothing happens.

** Alice's mere presence [[WalkingWasteland causes life to wither and die horribly.]] This is a reflection of her evil heart and twisted mind.

** Alternatively, Alice has a pollen allergy, making the constant appearance of plant life beneath her feet [[BlessedWithSuck a nussiance.]].

* '''Averted''': Despite her pure and uncorrupted nature, Alice doesn't manifest this power at any point in story.

** "This power is amazing! The best thing about it's that now I can go anywhere with [[EarthyBarefootCharacter the sensation of soft grass under my feet.]]"

* '''Defied''': Knowing Alice's power is a reflection of her pure heart, the BigBad proceeds to [[BreakingSpeech emotionally and mentally]] destroy her; thus preventing her from ever [[GoodHurtsEvil using this ability against him]].
* '''Discussed''': "You know, Alice and Bob are pretty similar. The problem is that while she's followed by a stream of life and harmony, he's being chased by an [[DoomMagnet annoying trail of ROTTEN luck!]]"

%%* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': ???

* '''Straight''': Alice is the group's [[TheChosenOne professed heroine]] and [[TheMessiah overall nicest person around]]. This status is confirmed when she gains the power to make life grow under her feet.

** Alternatively: Wherever Alice goes, life follows... But not in a good way! She leaves behind a trail of weeds, mold, and fungus. Vermin and disease flourish in her wake. When she walks down the street, horrible, gnarled roots split the pavement asunder. And nothing pleases her more than seeing the disruptive effects her "pets" have on the civilization around her.

** Alternatively, Alice has a pollen allergy, making the constant appearance of plant life beneath her feet [[BlessedWithSuck not so great, actually.]].
** Or: Alice sneezes [[CuteKitten kittens.]]
* '''Zig Zagged''': Thanks to a series of {{contrived coincidence}}s, everyone thinks Alice has this power, but she eventually explains she doesn't. Until she's revealed to be TheChosenOne, which causes a genuine instance of this power, but only once... And later, Alice learns to intentionally invoke it.

* '''Invoked''': With the help of a fellow NatureHero with a GreenThumb, Alice manages to simulate this ability to gain the trust of those unaware of her good nature.

* '''Defied''': Knowing Alice's power is a reflection of her pure heart, the BigBad proceeds to [[BrokenBird emotionally]] and [[HannibalLecture mentally]] destroy her; thus preventing her from ever [[GoodHurtsEvil using this ability against him]].
* '''Discussed''': "You know, Alice and Bob are actually pretty similar. The problem is that while she's followed by a stream of life and harmony, he's being chased by an [[DoomMagnet annoying trail of ROTTEN luck!]]"

* '''Deconstructed''': Alice's power to "make life grow in her presence" turns out to be [[BlessedWithSuck an uncontrollable force]] that causes vegetable life to grow out of control. Because of this, she chooses to live away from civilization.

* '''Parodied''': Bob invites Alice to his place. He tells her to make herself at home while he goes to make a sandwich. When he returns, he's shocked to find out his living room has been turned into a little fairy-tale forest filled with cheery animals, magical spirits, classical music and Alice dancing to it. Then, a couple of squirrels take the chance to snatch his sandwich.

* '''Deconstructed''': Alice's power to "make life grow in her presence" turns out to be [[BlessedWithSuck an uncontrollable force]] that causes vegetal life to grow out of control, destroying everything in her path and killing innocent people. To make things worse, this ability works under an {{equivalent exchange}} principle, which means Alice is draining away all that life from other places, turning entire ecosystems into sterile desserts as she goes along, eventually killing the planet.
