Line #8 PlayingWith/EffortlessAmazonianLift


1	'''Basic Trope''': A female character shows off her physical prowess by lifting and/or carrying someone else, usually a male.
2	* '''Straight''': [[TheHero Allen]] tells [[AmazonianBeauty Irena]] that [[StayInTheKitchen it's too dangerous]] for her to follow him into the enemy castle. Her reply is to easily pick him up [[OverTheShoulderCarry over her shoulder]] and carry him in herself. Allen [[LuminescentBlush doesn't know]] [[IWasBeatenByAGirl what to make of this]].
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Irena picks up every male cast member at once, just as easily.
5	** [[SuperStrongChild Natalie]] lifts Allen [[HoistHeroOverHead over her head]] without breaking a sweat.
6	** Irena isn't some super-strong warrior or swordswoman, but a normal, slender peasant girl. As such, her ability to lift Allen is all the more surprising.
7	** Irena carries Allen over her head while Natalie is lifting her over her head.
8	** Irena is part of an infinite cycle of women lifting each other.
9	* '''Downplayed''':
10	** Irena manages to carry Allen, but is visibly strained and complains that he's too heavy. The lift isn't "effortless" at all.
11	** Irena carries [[HollywoodThin Alice]].
12	** Allen is a lightweight TagalongKid.
13	** Irena carries Allen without any trouble, but only with some help from Kathy.
14	* '''Justified''':
15	** Irena is very physically strong, and is able to lift Allen easily
16	** Irena has a crush on Allen, and enjoys seeing him flustered.
17	* '''Inverted''':
18	** Irena gets a BridalCarry from Allen.
19	** Alternatively, Irena is lifted by the weakest character in the cast, just to show how light she is.
20	** Alternatively, Irena has trouble lifting Tim who is the same size and as light as a paper-clip.
21	* '''Subverted''': Irena picks Allen up quickly and easily... only to drop him a second later.
22	* '''Double Subverted''':
23	** ...It seemed like Irena was about to drop him, but she quickly recovers. Turns out, she was just messing around.
24	** Irena dropped Allen on purpose, and makes no effort to hide it.
25	* '''Parodied''':
26	** Irena, a tiny, waifish LipstickLesbian, carries her girlfriend, who is the resident BigBeautifulWoman.
27	** Irene picks up Allen at ease and [[GrievousHarmWithABody clubs the villains with him]].
28	* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
29	* '''Averted''': While Irena may in fact be very strong, she never demonstrates her strength by lifting another person.
30	* '''Enforced''': "We need to show that Irena isn't a DamselInDistress, but she isn't mowing down orcs with her greatsword until the third act. Oh, wait! We could have her give Allen a fireman's carry."
31	* '''Lampshaded''': "All right, we get it, you're strong. Can you put me down now?"
32	* '''Invoked''': Irena spars Allen, giving him a hard whack on the ankle so he can't walk. This gives her justification to [[HumiliationConga carry him back to his tent for treatment, further proving her physical dominance in the process]].
33	* '''Exploited''': ???
34	* '''Defied''':
35	** "Yeah, I am really that strong. And no, I'm not going to pick you up."
36	** [[InsaneTrollLogic "I would get bulky if I lifted anything too heavy."]]
37	* '''Discussed''': ???
38	* '''Conversed''': ???
39	* '''Deconstructed''': While Irena is a rather physically strong woman, Allen is heavier than she is, and she is lifting him in a hurry with no spotter. She is able to perform the lift, but injures her back badly doing so.
40	* '''Reconstructed''': Not only is Irena able to easily carry Allen, he's also [[AmazonChaser totally into it]].
