2 | * '''Straight''': Alice is a selfless girl who cares for others. She isn't treated nicely in return. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Alice has devoted her life to caring for others at her own expense, oftentimes to the point of near-starving herself due to spending everything on those in [[GreaterNeedThanMine Greater Need Than Her]]... yet all she gets from [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer fellow humans]] are laughs, sneering or ignorance. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': Most of the time Alice puts others first and doesn't do what she wants in order to help others but she spends the rest of the time on herself. |
5 | * '''Justified''': |
6 | ** [[ThePollyanna Alice]] strongly believes that selflessness is rewarding despite [[TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity never getting as much as a 'thank you']]. |
7 | ** Alternatively, Alice is a GoodSamaritan who couldn’t care less if the recipient appreciates her kindness or not. |
8 | ** Nobody likes nice, selfless people at all, for whatever reason. |
9 | * '''Inverted''': |
10 | ** Everyone treats Alice nicely, but [[UngratefulBastard she treats them badly in return]]. |
11 | ** Alice is a selfish girl who cares for only herself. She isn't treated nicely in return. |
12 | ** Alice is a [[AllLovingHero selfless girl]] who cares for others. [[LikeAGodToMe She is treated like an Idol in return.]] |
13 | * '''Subverted''': |
14 | ** Alice has [[SecretlySelfish a few selfish moments]]. |
15 | ** One of them did treat Alice nicely in return. |
16 | * '''Double Subverted''': |
17 | ** ...Which are making her loved ones happy. |

19 | * '''Parodied''': Alice cared for an ObviouslyEvil AlphaBitch. |
20 | * '''Zig Zagged''': ??? |
21 | * '''Averted''': Alice is a selfless girl who cares for others. She was treated the same in return had she not cared for others anyway. |
22 | * '''Enforced''': The writer (usually TheCynic, or at least a proud owner of a nice pair of JadeColoredGlasses) wants to point out that LifeIsntFair and [[BeingGoodSucks kindness]] [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished does not]] [[DudeWheresMyRespect get rewarded]] as the media usually portray. |
23 | * '''Lampshaded''': "[[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids Get real, Alice.]] No one respects a doormat who is kind and sweet and never strikes back. No one." |
24 | * '''Invoked''': Alice was raised by her family to be that kind of ProperLady. |
25 | * '''Exploited''': TheCorrupter tries to lure Alice into TheDarkSide through pushing her to a MistreatmentInducedBetrayal. |
26 | * '''Defied''': Anyone mistreating Alice will soon be facing her boyfriend Bob, who will scar the bastard (or [[WouldHitAGirl the bitch]]) into not bullying Alice again. |

28 | * '''Conversed''': ??? |
