Here, you give a trope, and the next troper makes up an example wholesale from a media work they made up on the spot.
Both prompts and responses should follow relevant wiki rules — exactly one trope per prompt/no tropeslashing, Playing With only applies to tropes (not Trivia or YMMV), and responses need to make sense without having seen the work (because the work doesn't exist), and so forth.
For example:
Tiny Tyrannical Girl
In LightNovel.The Huge Universe Ruled By A Tiny Girl, the Big Bad of the movie is Alice, a dwarf woman who can make everyone submit to her by threatening their life.
I'll give an example:
"The J9 Unit is one to 80's and 90's science fiction and Cyberpunk of the era."

Pokemon: Eternal Return practically revolves around this trope. In this universe, legendaries and mythicals except for Arceus can die, and when they die, their life forces return to Arceus, who then imparts that force onto their chosen humans to turn them into a replacement legendary/mythical.

i just want you for my own. more than you could ever know.The 80's horror film Light Leech features a monster called an Obscurake, a grotesque reptile that can eat light, darkening the area and allowing it to hide in the darkness. Luckily, the monster itself isn't harmful, but a local Serial Killer has been exploiting the creature's light-eating ability to murder people in the dark and pin them on it...

Eventually, though, she decides she still loves him, even while acknowledging his flaws.
Locked Room Mystery "Look inside yourself and to the stars; there, you will find your answers."
Parodied in Eulogy Of The Crumbling Man, where this happens to the unpopular Count Hardman, and the answer is that the room did it:
- Chancellor: We found him dead in his own room, which was locked. Any number of our men could've had his own reason and pulled one trick or other to off him, but we need you to figure out who.
Detective [with a chuckle]: Have you checked whether the room did it?
Chancellor: The room? Sir, there's no point to play a practical joke here. That's our finest room; used to be my own. It wouldn't hurt a fly.
Detective: Could very well be a case of jealousy.
Chancellor: That's impossible! I told it to be strong when I left it. I checked in on it every so often. It told me it was doing just fine.
Detective: Explain, if you might, why its wall has so much condensation running down it.
[The Chancellor turns to see the room is "crying". Its door suddenly opens, and it spits out recognizable regurgiated remains of Count Hardman. The detective turns to leave.]
Detective: I'll have a demolition crew come by tomorrow to take it in for arrest.

The Leader of the group, Selena Quinn/Miss Prism, has a black-and-white color motif while the rest of the team, each named Lady [Color], is based on the colors of the rainbow, sans Indigo. A Miss Pink does exist as a Sixth Ranger, but she's more of an assistant to Miss Prism than an actual leader.
Mystical White Hair Déjà vu, tell you what I'm gonna do, when they reminisce over you, my God
In Atai No Akihara Kun, the gang meets Aoki, who is a Iropire, which sucks colors out of literally anything. However, her hair is naturally white. In later episodes, Iropires need colour to live, as they have none of their own due to "the animators and colorists being too lazy to even colour them in".

Trying out Random Avatar Month (Main interest: Objectified)In Best Roomies Forever, Logan Watson starts out as one, starry-eyed and eager to please his teachers and fellow classmates. This is explained by him having been severely bullied in his youth and desperately wanting to fit in at college, hindered by his naturally awkward demeanor and tendency to embarrass himself (as well as coming from a less-than-well-off family). As the comic goes on, he sheds these tendencies, at the cost of becoming a chilly, bitter recluse.

"If actions speak louder than words then this silent deer never stops talking. His annoying actions will leave you speechless."Made in Abyss: Prelude to Spring: Yonah’s design was heavily inspired by sharks, as well as bears, wolves and dinosaurs, so she resembles a fluffy shark with four ursine legs and a reptilian tail. She even has two rows of teeth, like a real shark!

i just want you for my own. more than you could ever know.In Ashes Ashes, when Renee wakes up in an isolated forest with no memory of how she got there and no sign of any other human, she guesses this trope might be in play; this is seemingly confirmed when she meets Foster, who reveals...something came down from the sky and destroyed civilization. However, it soon becomes clear Foster is wrong at absolute best.
Inside a Computer System "Look inside yourself and to the stars; there, you will find your answers."
In VideoGame.Doom Zoom And Boom, the Hub Level NPC of World 3 (The Laboratory) is a blue rectangle named Vinny stuck inside a vintage computer. He strikes a bargain with Tristan: fetch him enough Security Holes (which look like big green donuts) to break him out of the computer, and he'll open the path to the next world by hacking a big door open. Vinny turns out to be a virus, and you fight a super-sized version of him as the World 3 boss. After defeating him, Tristan throws him back into the computer, where he right-clicks on him and threatens to press "delete" unless he opens the door to the next world. Vinny also appears in his computer form in the interactive Level Editor guide, forgiving Tristan for his rudeness... just barely.

Zom-bros: Corporal Calcius, the Big Bad and ruler of the Skeleton Militia, exaggerates this trope by having his entire base be in the shape of a skeleton. This is mercilessly lampshaded throughout the series.
- Calcius: (on the phone) "Y-yeah, I live in the giant skeleton-shaped house. It-it seemed like an awesome idea at the time, okay? And besides, I rule over the skeletons, so it makes sense, right?"

"If actions speak louder than words then this silent deer never stops talking. His annoying actions will leave you speechless."In the Final Fantasy VII fancomic sepHiRoTh, newly minted Sephiroth clone Zeph finds himself cornered on a rooftop by Shinra personnel, with a steep drop behind him. When Cloud, Fiver and Jack call out to him, telling him to jump off and fly away, Zeph flies... into a panic, as he's never used his wing before.

This trope is lampshaded in Red Sky Warning, the fourth book in the Moon Cat Mysteries series. Neptune is introduced as a star in the water and the best swimmer in Aurora Cove, but has a fairly skinny build that isn't well-suited for swimming, as similarly skinny Arcturus notes. Justified with it turns out it's not Neptune.

Walking Into Fire: The Gods Andromeda and Niste name all of their children after things in the sky (or related things), such as Cosmos, Luna, and Asterix.
No Body Left Behind
- SavationBringer: This is the assassin Stealth's modus operandi. First, they wait until their target is all by themselves in a secluded area. Then, they use their scorpion tail (or sometimes their fangs) to kill their victim almost instantly with venom. Then, they use frost breath and turn their body to ice, then burn the ice down into a puddle with fire, and finally evaporate the left-over puddle to make sure nothing of the dragon gets left behind as evidence, and then escape using invisibility. They've been doing this since they were young, not for money, but out of loyalty to their queen.

Now everyone pat me on the back and tell me how clever I am!- Boroni!!: Furratu, a Spectre-type Boroni, is a wolf-like creature with pitch-black fur that resembles the cloak worn by stock vampire characters. According to the Roni-Pedia, Furratus are squarely nocturnal creatures who travel in packs and feast on the blood of much bigger Buronis.

The Extraordinary Voyage Of The Alchemist Melis Moreau: Finian is the Cirque d’Elusion’s resident magician, though he’s less of a wizard and more of a warlock. He derives his powers from a demonic entity inside his favorite pocket watch, and when Sirocco breaks it during their battle in Chapter 15, the demon ends up painfully fusing with Finian’s body all so that he can keep his magic powers.
