1'''Basic Trope''': The supreme ruler of the universe is a young girl.
2* '''Straight''': The creator of the world, Alice, is a 10-year-old little girl [[ComicBook/TheSandman to all mundane (and in some case, magical) scrutiny]].
3* '''Exaggerated''':
4** The creator of all planes of existence in all timelines, Alice, is a 10-year-old little girl to all mundane (and in some case, magical) scrutiny.
5** All the gods on the pantheon have the appearance of 10-year-old girls... [[GooGooGodlike at most.]]
6* '''Downplayed''': Alice is God and appears to be 16 years old.
7* '''Justified''':
8** [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith God(dess) appears as a little girl so as not to frighten the people]].
9** Alice, being a physical god, has to incarnate herself in a human body as part of her immortality cycle. While having [[RealityWarper powers that can reshape reality itself]], her body is still a regular human one, which goes through a normal human life cycle... which includes being 10 years old at some point.
10** Alice was not always a goddess, but found a way to [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence become]] [[AbstractApotheosis one]], however, when she did so, she got [[NotAllowedToGrowUp age-locked]].
11** Alice is embarrassed about [[TimeAbyss Her age]], and is more comfortable with looking young.
12* '''Inverted''':
13** [[SatanicArchetype The equivalent]] of {{Satan}} in the story [[EnfanteTerrible is a little girl.]]
14** Alice, a normal 10-year-old girl who just [[AbstractApotheosis recently became]] a [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence higher]] [[PhysicalGod deity]], [[YoungerThanTheyLook looks like she's an 80-year-old man]].
15** GrandpaGod
16* '''Subverted''':
17** Despite looking like a little girl, Alice doesn't behave like one...
18** Despite her reality warper powers, Alice is not considered a god, just a very powerful and young magician in a world where magic is common enough to be seen as normal.
19* '''Double Subverted''':
20** ...except when she's presented with things little girls normally like, i.e. overly cute dresses.
21** Until they notice a birth mark that coincides with the one described on the prophecy that marks her as the reincarnation of one of their main goddessess.
22* '''Parodied''':
23** God is a J-pop idol. One of her live performances on the beach involved parting the waves.
24** Alice [[PowerIncontinence can’t control her powers very well]], so when she gets too exited balloons appear out of nowhere and candies start to rain out from the sky.
25* '''Zig Zagged''': [[NegativeContinuity One day Alice has what can only be described as the power of God, the other day she's just a perfectly normal little girl.]]
26* '''Averted''': The universe doesn't have a supreme ruler, let alone one that is a little girl.
27* '''Enforced''': [[AuthorAvatar The author is a 10-year-old little girl herself,]] [[GodModeSue whose name is also Alice.]]
28* '''Lampshaded''':
29** "Shall we consecrate this theme park, making it your most hallowed ground?"
30** (After watching Alice smite some thugs [[DisproportionateRetribution with lightning bolts]]):
31-->'''Bob:''' Oh my God...\
32'''Alice:''' [[AnswersToTheNameOfGod Just "Alice" will do]].
33* '''Invoked''': The faithful now praise God in terms that would please a selfish little girl, instead of a megalomaniacal old man.
34* '''Exploited''': The Inquisition now wear pastel-toned uniforms and are armed with {{Holy Hand Grenade}}s that explode into deadly, flesh-ripping rainbow-colored blasts upon detonation, so they may keep their political power. [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Talk about unexpected...]]
35* '''Defied''': (After watching Alice smite some thugs [[DisproportionateRetribution with lightning bolts]]):
36-->'''Bob:''' Oh my God...\
37'''Alice:''' "God"? No, I'm not God. [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquer But I'm a close second]].
38* '''Discussed''': “So you’ve actually been a little girl this whole time? We’re gonna have to replace all those murals...”
39* '''Conversed''': “Is this show seriously expecting us to believe the supreme creator of the universe is a little girl?”
40* '''Deconstructed'''
41** BeingGodIsHard, especially when you’re a little girl. Alice simply cannot take the pressure of managing her own reality; one day she [[FaceHeelTurn stopped being a little girl]], and the world became [[WorldGoneMad infinitely more horrifying]].
42** Alice does not just look like a ten-year-old, [[ImmortalImmaturity she also has the mental maturity]] [[GooGooGodlike and self-control]] of one; her constant mood swings and attempts to [[ItAmusedMe entertain herself]] endanger mortals, her followers are always in fear that [[ApocalypseHow she could destroy the world]] [[PsychopathicManchild on a whim or a tantrum]], and since Alice [[SpoiledBrat always gets whatever she wants]], [[GodIsEvil she develops a rather egocentric and despotic view of the world as her playground.]]
43* '''Reconstructed''':
44** After some penance on her creations' part (which includes sacrificing copious amount of cakes and sweets, which had become rare), she decided to back to being a little girl again, problem solved.
45** It was just a phase, and after some time, Alice [[CharacterDevelopment grew up mentally]], gained control over her powers and [[HeelFaceTurn became]] a more [[GodIsGood benevolent]] deity... while still looking young and enjoying simple girlie things like sweets and dolls.
46* '''Implied''': While we never see one of her artifacts, Alice's golden [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya headband]] could only fit a young girl.
