Basic Trope: A young woman who looks graceful and sophisticated speaks in an unsophisticated manner.
- Straight: Alice is a noblewoman who wears fancy clothes, tasteful jewelry, and has well-groomed hair. However, her speech is very casual, referring to people with nicknames, cursing a lot, and isn't ashamed to talk about inappropriate topics like sex in public.
- Exaggerated: A-she-ya is a Love Goddess who dresses very regally, is impossibly beautiful, and has a graceful appearance... but she speaks like a teenage delinquent, much to the shock of her worshippers.
- Downplayed: Alice normally speaks like the sophisticated lady she looks like, but speaks in a lower-class manner when she becomes emotional.
- Justified:
- Alice got her fashion sense from her family, while her manner of speaking came from her friends and schoolmates.
- Alice's parents are the same way, and she picked up on their habits.
- Alice's parents are an interclass couple, with her gaining her style of dress from her mom, who comes from an Old Money family, and her speech patterns from her lower-class father.
- Alice happens to prefer dressing in one way and speaking in another way.
- Inverted: Alice dresses like a hoodrat, wearing Impractically Skimpy Clothes, having tattoos, and Messy Hair. However, she speaks in Flowery Elizabethan English, never using contractions, referring to people by their proper names, and having an advanced vocabulary. She also thinks that talking about topics like sex is extremely inappropriate.
- Subverted: Alice is actually being impersonated by her Country Cousin Marianne, with the real Alice speaking in a much more sophisticated manner.
- Doubled-Subverted: ...compared to Marianne, who can barely go a sentence without cussing or using slang, Alice only cusses every other sentence and uses slang every third sentence.
- Averted: Alice speaks just as sophisticated as she looks.
- Zig-Zagged: Sophisticated as Hell
- Lampshaded:"Alice is a type of girl that has money instead of a brain, so nobody doubts she's graceful if mute."
- Invoked: Alice, the Token Rich Student and Class Princess, is both admired and feared by her classmates for her social status. Wanting to fit in, she sets aside her refined manners and begins interacting with them on their level.
- Defied: Alice's parents force her to speak properly under the threat of being disowned.
- Deconstructed: Alice has no friends because she's too vulgar and crass to fit in with the upper classes and dresses too fancy for the comfort of the lower classes.
- Reconstructed: Alice eventually finds friends who would rather have Alice be herself than expect her to act on way or another.
I humbly implore you... to get your ass back to Graceful Until She Speaks, bitch!
