Black Magician Girl/Playing With
Basic Trope: An Action Girl with a forceful personality who uses offensive magic.
- Straight: Marcy is a Tsundereish Hot Witch who fights with fire and is contrasted with healer Melody.
- Exaggerated: Marcy is a Dark Action Girl who fights by blowing things up with her mind. Cackling gleefully the whole time.
- Justified: Personality Powers are a rule of the universe.
- Inverted:
- The healer is the feisty one, while Marcy is sweet and shy.
- White Magician Girl
- Alex is a Hot-Blooded guy who fights with fire.
- Subverted: You'd think with Marcy's personality and looks she'd be the attack mage, but she's a Barrier Warrior instead.
- Double Subverted:
- ...until she gains experience and becomes the magic powerhouse.
- Marcy can crush enemies with her barriers.
- Parodied: Marcy attacks with her Magic Wand. By hitting people with it, that is.
- Deconstructed: Marcy can destroy towns with little effort, and she has an extremely short temper. She leaves a wake of ruin wherever she goes, and no one has the nuts to call her out. Then, after a particularly bad outburst, she's out of energy when the army of Emperor Evulz attacks.
- Reconstructed: Marcy is extremely destructive and short tempered, but her Nakama is always there to remind her to save her powers for the real bad guys.
- Zig Zagged:
- Averted: Magic is not used, or the only mage with offensive spells is a man.
- Enforced: "We need a nuker in the player's party and we need more female characters. How about a female mage?
- Lampshaded: "What, do I look like the healing type to you?"
- Invoked: Marcy exists in a world populated with Personality Powers and intentionally cultivates her forceful personality to gain access to her superior firepower
- Defied: Marcy is an Actual Pacifist and refuses to learn magic meant to hurt people.
- Discussed: "Ah -- she blew up the dragon. Don't get on her bad side, boys."
- Conversed:
