Line #13 PlayingWith/Tomboy


1	'''Basic Trope''': A girl with boyish traits.
2	* '''Straight''': Hannah prefers to be in the company of boys and plays "boyish" sports like football or do "boyish" things like watch sports TV, wrestling, body building, and boxing to cooking, tapestry, sewing, caring for her hair, and fashion.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Hannah has no feminine interests.
5	** TheLadette.
6	** ButchLesbian.
7	* '''Downplayed''':
8	** TomboyWithAGirlyStreak.
9	** GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak
10	* '''Justified''':
11	** Hannah likes "boyish" interests more than "girly interests".
12	** Hannah was raised by masculine people and/or in a masculine environment.
13	** Hannah's traditionally feminine mother was easily vulnerable and a burden to her loved ones, so she acts in the [[LikeMotherUnlikeDaughter exact opposite manner of her mother]] to avoid becoming those flaws herself.
14	* '''Inverted''': GirlyGirl.
15	* '''Gender Inverted''': InTouchWithHisFeminineSide.
16	* '''Subverted''': Hannah is a GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak.
17	* '''Double Subverted''': Hannah keeps the feminine side of her personality notoriously private, even from her boyfriend/girlfriend, and passes them off as the female equivalent to RealMenWearPink if anyone ever sees her doing them.
18	* '''Parodied''': Hannah is by far the most "manly" one of the cast - compared to her, the male characters are all complete wusses. Bonus points if she has PermaStubble.
19	* '''Zig Zagged''': Hannah's interests alternate between "boyish" and "girly".
20	* '''Averted''':
21	** Hannah has the same interests as any other girl.
22	** Alternatively, Hannah has a gender-neutral personality.
23	* '''Enforced''':
24	** The author doesn't want "stereotypical" girls.
25	** [[CrossCastRole Eric, Hannah's actor]], can't do girly girls, so she's written to have a personality compatible with his own.
26	* '''Lampshaded''': "Gentlemen, we now know what UsefulNotes/WiltChamberlain would have been like if he were born female. Apparently, absolutely nothing else would have been different".
27	* '''Invoked''': Hannah has a massive crush on Gabriel. When she hears that he's an AmazonChaser, she starts acting like a tomboy in order to get his attention.
28	* '''Exploited''': GirlyGirl Millie goes to Hannah whenever she needs someone to open the ImpossiblePickleJar.
29	* '''Defied''': Hannah refuses to have "boyish" interests.
30	* '''Discussed''': Hannah's male friends talk about what it's like having a tomboy around.
31	* '''Conversed''': Gabriel and Eddie debate the merits of the "tomboy chick" in the movie they just watched.
32	* '''Implied''': On the show, most girls wear frilly dresses all the time, but there's one unnamed girl who is usually seen in jeans and a baseball cap. However, she doesn't appear often enough for her personality to be established.
33	* '''Deconstructed''': Hannah's boyish interests cause people to view her as unfeminine. She dies alone and unloved.
34	* '''Reconstructed''':
35	** Hannah's boyish interests make other people admire her more.
36	** Hannah's boyish interests cause people to view her as unfeminine, and she's okay with that -- if they have a problem with that, she wouldn't want to be around them anyway.
37	* '''Played For Laughs''': It's a RunningGag that Hannah is far more masculine than all the male characters. Additionally, any attempt on her part to be more "girlish" always results in [[FemininityFailure hilarious failure]].
38	* '''Played For Drama''':
39	** Hannah struggles to be accepted as a tomboy while living in a setting with very strict gender roles.
40	** Alice finds herself ignored by her boyfriend and goes to her best friend Hannah for confort, but thanks to Hannah's masculine appearance, the very lonely Alice starts getting aroused and subconsciously becomes ''[[AttemptedRape way]]'' too handsy with her bestie and while Hannah stops her, their friendship takes a heavy blow.
