Describe UnluckyNormalcyCLO here.

A newbie to the forums, but not the internet at large (has accounts on several forums and blogsites). She also lurked around on TVTropes for nearly three years before throwing her own user account into the fray. Fantasizes about working in the gaming industry, though whether she can manage to pull it off remains to be seen.

!!This troper provides examples of:
* {{Adult Child}}: Assumed to become this later in life.
* {{Berserk Button}}: A lot, although that's probably expected.
* {{Bookworm}}: [[LikeFatherLikeSon It's hereditary]]. This got to the point where she developed a reputation as a bookworm with people ''she had never even met'' at her school.
* {{Brilliant But Lazy}}: Sort of. She's not an idiot and she's certainly lazy, though her grades tend to fall toward average.
* CharacterDevelopment: When she was very young, she was something of a drama queen and had a [[{{SmallNameBigEgo}} big]] [[{{Jerkass}} ego]]. A year or two later, she realized this was getting her nowhere and wallowed in [[{{Wangst}} wangst]] and depression. ''[[FridgeLogic As a ten year-old.]]'' Fortunately, she's bounced back from both extremes and settled for something in the middle (thus the explanation for having many polarizing tropes on this page).
-->'''Friend C:''' Is it just me, or do you seem happier lately?
* ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike: Frequently. Some of her friends are irritated, some find it amusing.
* ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch: Views this with distaste and tries to avoid it as much as possible. [[CompletelyMissingThePoint When you complain, you should]] [[ShownTheirWork do your research]].
* ClusterFBomb: Has an unfortunate tendency to do this. Has managed to limit this to {{Precision F Strike}}s as of late.
* {{Deadpan Snarker}}
** {{Sarcasm Mode}}: But of course.
* [[EmbarrassingFirstName Embarrassing Real Name]]: She had no problem with the name until she realized it was also the name of a local Japanese steakhouse. Teasing ensued for years.
* ExtremeDoormat: Used to be this. [[{{Shipping}} Then]] [[{{Fanfic}} she]] [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife discovered]] [[RuleThirtyFour the]] [[RulesOfTheInternet internet...]]
* {{FanArt}}: Loves to look for it and makes some of her own.
* {{FanFic}}: Reads it, writes it, and reviews it.
* {{Gamer Chick}}: Big time. Most of her female friends are this, too.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: She thinks [[AltumVidetur Latin is a pretty language]]. Averted with Japanese, as she's bilingual and only uses it in context with another person who also speaks it fluently.
* {{Heavy Sleeper}}: Once slept through a tree crashing against the roof of her house, and did not find out about it until late the next morning.
* {{Jerkass}}: Used to be this. Has since gotten better, though she can still be this when she's careless or irritated.
* KindheartedCatLover: Views cats to be of a higher value than dogs and simply cannot understand the sentiment of CatsAreMean. Some of her closer friends like to joke that she will one day become a CrazyCatLady.
* {{Large Ham}}: When playing video games. Otherwise, she's either a {{Deadpan Snarker}} or {{The Stoic}}.
* NeverLiveItDown: [[NoodleIncident That locker incident...]]
* OfficialCouple: Generally seems to prefer these. She does appreciate some {{Fan Preferred Couple}}s, however, as well as [[ToyShip certain]] [[{{Twincest}} other]] [[HoYay ships]].
* {{Overprotective Dad}}: Averted despite being an only child, though for the most part her father has never had any boys to test his [[PapaWolf wolfiness]] on.
* PrimAndProperBun: Her usual hairstyle, when it's not in a {{Tomboyish Ponytail}}. Her father says it makes her look like an Irish woman.
* RunningGag: [[ItMakesSenseInContext "We got high on brownies."]]
* {{Self Deprecation}}: Her default persona. Sometimes overlaps with ValuesDissonance, since her mother's native country views this as politeness and her father's doesn't see the point. Resulted in a lot of confusion when she was younger.
* {{Shipper}}: In almost every fandom she participates in, which she shamelessly admits.
** ShippingGoggles: Has been accused of having these. She doesn't really mind.
** ShipToShipCombat: However, she ''does'' mind these, preferring to stay out of the major flame wars and ship characters JustForFun.
* SlasherSmile: When she spars at her kempo karate class. She really enjoys it and gets high on the adrenaline, but her partners have repeatedly told her that [[NightmareFuel it freaks them out]].
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Used to be a WideEyedIdealist, but has steadily progressed to cynicism with age. The earlier idealism still reappears now and then, though.
* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness: Has been told she [[TheComicallySerious lacks a sense of humor]] and appears to be [[TheStoic serious and quiet]], although...
** NotSoAboveItAll: She loves to dance and sing at festivals. The extra sugar-dosage might have something to do with it.
* [[StraightMan Straight Woman]]: With her mother and a few of her collegues.
* TheBigGuy: The tallest and most broad-shouldered of her group of friends.
** CoolBigSis: To her many younger cousins.
** TeamMom: To some of her friends, although she switches between this and CoolBigSis depending on the situation as well as who she's talking to. Also switches roles with another friend, who she verbally spars with.
-->'''Friend S:''' It's like you guys switch between being the mother and the daughter every other day.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Finds it amusing and likes to fool around with it.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The {{Tomboy}} to one friend and the {{The Chick}} to another.
* UnskilledButStrong: Has very high physical power, but isn't too good with techniques and has low endurance. She's trying to fix that.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Spiders]]!?
* YoungerThanTheyLook: She's been mistaken for her [[{{Squick}} father's wife]]. Twice. At the same event. Her friends and parents [[CrowningMomentofFunny find it hilarious]], while she developed something of a complex.
