Go To

Basic Trope: Alice is NOT a Hooker with a Heart of Gold.

  • Straight: Alice is a prostitute and often steals and robs from her clients.
  • Exaggerated:
    • Alice is a Jerkass who likes to mock her clients for their failed loved lives if annoyed, makes homophobic jokes to her female clients, refuses or charges exorbitantly for Platonic Prostitution, jokes about having STDs mid-coitus and threatens to scream rape if not paid.
    • Alice is a prolific Serial Killer.
    • Alice is a pedophilic rapist.
  • Downplayed:
    • Alice only screws over her client if they mistreat her.
    • Alice is an impatient and snarky Jerkass likes to harass kids and catcall men and women in the street, but doesn’t commit any crimes.
    • Alice is an Affably Evil thieving prostitute who only steals to support herself and her family.
  • Justified:
    • Being abused and cast aside by society made Alice snap.
    • Alice's work isn't enough to make herself enough to live, so she has to use underhanded methods.
  • Inverted: Hooker with a Heart of Gold
  • Subverted: Alice is a prostitute but knows better than to steal and rob from her clients.
  • Double Subverted: So she steals from her upperclassmen instead.
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Alice is not a prostitute.
  • Enforced: "You either have sex with these boys and abuse them or I will fire you!"
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: After getting screwed over by Alice in the past, Bob tracks her down and convinces her to participate in his scam.
  • Defied: Alice would rather choose not be a prostitute if it involves having to steal for profit.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
  • Deconstructed: One client has enough and beats her or kills her.
  • Reconstructed: Alice seeks therapy and learns to control her lust, allowing her to become a better prostitute... with a heart of gold.
  • Played For Laughs:
    • Alice is the karmic retribution to the sex-obsessed Stifler-type party animal of the cast seeking to score over building a relationship. For further comedy points, the party animal doesn't even cares about the prostitute walking away with all of his cash and dignity (in the short term) because the sex was that good (for him]).
    • Alice is an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain.
  • Played For Drama: Alice deliberately seeks out married men to break up their marriages.
  • Implied: Alice is a petty criminal who is implied to dabble in prostitution.
