Cheer!: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

* Alexandra "Alex" King, the leader: prone to [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|long, dramatic speeches.]] Quite wealthy, but hides it (she's sort of a [[Non-Idle Rich]]).

* Samantha "Sam" Smith, an artistic homebody who creates the uniforms and choreography.

* Johanna "Jo" Star, a [[Cloudcuckoolander]], and the only one of the four who remembers life before being transformed.

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[Art Evolution]]

* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]] - Alex seems to have a mild case of ADD, noticeable only when she tries to go off on one of her long-winded speeches and gets derailed.

* [[Bavarian Fire Drill]]: After getting rid of the (male) principal, Agent 32 manages to convince a teacher and some students that she is the principal--no, not a new one, the same one as ever.

* [[Body Horror]] - Alex's minotaur transformation wasn't exactly the type of "poof" that transformations took on in [[The Wotch|the parent comic]].

** [[The Cuckoolander Was Right]] - Jo is frighteningly aware of a large number of things she shouldn't be aware of, and not just her past as "Colin." It borders on being some sort of psychic or oracle.

** "There won't be enough sandwich baggies in the world..."

* [[Embarrassing First Name]] - Lita

* [[Empty Piles of Clothing]] - Alex leaves these behind when she (apparently) turns into a small fairy or bug in the middle of an assembly. Naturally, when she pops up later, she's in desperate need of clothing.

* [[First Law of Gender Bending]]

* [[Gambit Pileup]]- The student assembly ends up being one of these, with a ''minimum'' of six different plans being set in motion (with some other people simply [[Indy Ploy|winging it]]).

* [[Gamer Chick]] - Lita, of the tabletop RPG variety

* [[Gender Bender]] - our four hero(ines), later Peter Hall.

* [[Go Seduce My Arch-Nemesis]]

* [[Half Identical Twin]] - Lita has two siblings who fit the bill. They even have the 'finishing each others' sentences' bit down pat.

* [[How Do I Shot Web?]] - Jo found an obviously magic wand as a toy in a happy meal. She still can't figure out how to use it.

* [[Involuntary Shapeshifting]] - Aside from the original [[Gender Bender]], 32 turns Alex into a minotaur for help during the invasion. Since then, she's prone to weird transformations during emotional duress, but she never recalls any of her episodes.

* [[Kudzu Plot]] - The first chapter sets up a large number of immediate issues, none of which actually get resolved any time soon.

* [[Large Ham]] - Alex

** Recently, Alex went into a WOW expy world and summoned a demon. Not only was the demon a attractive woman (specifically stated as impossible to create), but said demon then makes out with Alex for what is hinted as a long time. Bonus points? Alex says that if she was going to do that again, to give her a heads up.

*** Possibly has something to do with the fact that she used to be a guy and has a few lingering feelings from that time?

* [[Meaningful Name]] - Cher Lita Harper. Think about it.

* [[Motor Mouth]] (Alex. Unfortunately, she also has [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|Attention Deficit...Ooh, Shiny!]], which means her long-winded speeches can end up wildly off-track.)

** Her occasional [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]] doesn't help matters either.

* [[Noodle Implements]] - Apparently there's a lot you can do with two geese, a roll of duct tape, twenty-three toothpicks and some sodium benzoate.

** This is even parodied in a [[Guest Comic]], when the artist speculates exactly what those things are used for, but can only come to the conclusion that it causes vague panic in most people.

** And her ring-tone is the 1812 Overture. Y'know, the one that uses a ''cannon''.

* Orphaned Series: Hasn't updated since July 15, 2011.

* [[Parental Abandonment]] - Alex, who is shown spending Christmas Eve strumming her guitar alone (sniff) and even gets her allowance via direct deposit.

* [[Playing Cyrano]] - Max & Xander

** [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory|RetGone-Proof Memory]] - Jo still remembers being a boy. Subconsciously, Alex does, too, as evidenced by some of her dreams. Also, ''[[The Wotch]]'' established that the girls' parents know that they used to be boys.

*** That was more of an [[Author's Saving Throw]], as people were calling out Anne for forcibly changing people against their will, so by saying that, it would be ok (as Cheer does make it clear while they were [[Jerk Jocks]] for the most of it they were still the same people) plus it gets mentioned in [[The Wotch]].

* [[Second Law of Gender Bending]] - Jo only; the others don't appear to remember.

* [[Ship Tease]] - 29/32, Alex/Lita.

** She's also a fan of "[[Sailor Moon|Windjammer Luna]]".

** It seems the wand is a shout out machine...causing Jo to shout out things such as [[Slayers|Dragon Slave]], [[Megumi Hayashibara|Fira Baru]], and [[Final Fantasy|Meteor]].

** Even the author thinks they're cute.

* [[The Stoic]] - Agent 29.

* [[Third Law of Gender Bending]] - In a big, big way, made explicit in canon.

** In fact, it's established in ''[[The Wotch]]'' that ''all'' the families know, it's just that ''none'' of them ever said anything to the girls themselves, possibly due to Miranda's influence.

*** Or because Lita's mom at least is either ''really'' accepting of things or a ditz.
