Ojou/Playing With

Basic Trope: An often wealthy female character who is admired and respected by everyone
 * Straight: Alice is surrounded by admirers who fawn over her constantly. She is given preferential treatment wherever she goes and commands a position of influence if not actual authority.
 * Exaggerated: Alice is treated as the queen of the world and people fall to their faces as she walks past.
 * Justified: Alice comes from a very wealthy family and is a charming, beautiful woman in her own right.
 * Inverted: Alice is a social outcast who people can barely stand to be around.
 * Subverted: Alice comes from a very wealthy and important family, but everyone looks down on her as an Upperclass Twit and no one takes her seriously...

 * Parodied: Bob and Charlie go to increasingly ridiculous lengths to show their respect to Alice.
 * Deconstructed: Alice is confused by her unearned admiration. When others praise her for things she has no control over, she can no longer tell when she's receiving justified praise and begins to develop deep insecurities.
 * Reconstructed: Alice learns not to surround herself with yes men, and also makes good use of her natural leadership abilities.
 * Zig Zagged: Bob practically worships Alice, but Charlie can't stand her, and Dave is ambivalent.

 * Exploited: Alice's father names her head of his company, knowing she will inspire confidence in the stockholders.
 * Defied: ???
