Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~rarity_drama_513~~rarity drama 513.jpg\|link=My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic ~~(Animation)~~\|frame\|~~<small>~~Oh, ''why'' did you have to chose such ''horrid'' pictures of me? Everyone will just ''laugh at me'' now! My life is ''RUINED''!!!~~</small>~~ ]] I would just ''die of a shattered heart'' if you didn't [[Describe Topic Here\|Describe Drama Queen Here]]! Line 23 ⟶ 22: Contrast [[The Stoic]] (who genuinely avoids drama), [[Stepford Smiler]] (who has plenty of reason to be dramatic but isn't). ---- {{examples~~\|Examples~~ }} == Anime and Manga == * Team Rocket from ''[[Pokémon (~~Anime~~anime)\|Pokémon]]''. Jessie is the most prominent one, but they all can be ridiculously dramatic at times. It's mostly the reason why they're so loved despite being so ineffective.▼ * Tamaki of ''[[~~Ouran High School Host Club (Manga)\|~~Ouran High School Host Club]]'' will act extremely emotional if anything sets him off enough. This includes having to lie down on a comfy bed, when being told about how the Lobelia academy works.▼ == [[Film]] == Line 29 ⟶ 32: == [[Literature]] == * In ''[[Gone ~~With~~with the Wind]]'', Scarlet's Aunt "Pittypat" was prone to overreaction and fainting, to the point where people even snap at her to stop fainting. * The eponymous ''[[Anne of Green Gables]]''. * [[Jeeves and Wooster (~~Literature~~novel)\|Bertie Wooster]], frequently. On being forced to sing at a "clean, bright entertainment": {{quote\| "I have been subjected to a nervous strain unparalleled since the days of the early Martyrs. I have lost pounds in weight and permanently injured my entire system. I have gone through an ordeal, the recollection of which will make me wake up screaming in the night for months to come ..."}} * ''[[In Death]]'' series: ''Divided In Death'' has young Chloe McCoy, who is this trope, due to her lover Blair Bissel's death. {{spoiler\|She gets murdered by Blair Bissel later, and he staged it to look like suicide}}. Line 39 ⟶ 42: * In ''[[Frasier]]'', both Frasier and Niles often act like this Every situation that could make them look bad to Society is a reason to act like it's the end of the world. * Elliot is a self-confessed drama queen on ''[[Scrubs]]''. There's also an episode titled "My Drama Queen" dedicated to J.D.'s new girlfriend. {{quote\| '''Elliot''': She's a drama queen, J.D.! When her husband was in a coma, it was all, like, taboo and exciting; but now that it's okay for the two of you to be together, the relationship's got no snap... it's got no crackle. J.D... It's got no pop. I know! Because I'm a drama queen, too!}} * ''[[Noah's Arc]]'': This is a defining aspect of Alex's personality, generally [[Played for Laughs]]. Noah has shades of this at times too though. ~~== Manga And Anime ==~~ ▲* Team Rocket from ''[[Pokémon (Anime)\|Pokémon]]''. Jessie is the most prominent one, but they all can be ridiculously dramatic at times. It's mostly the reason why they're so loved despite being so ineffective. ▲* Tamaki of ''[[Ouran High School Host Club (Manga)\|Ouran High School Host Club]]'' will act extremely emotional if anything sets him off enough. This includes having to lie down on a comfy bed, when being told about how the Lobelia academy works. == Theater == * The acting script for ''[[Little Shop of Horrors]]'' notes that Audrey should be played in a melodramatic ~~way--not~~way—not because she's being subversive or trying to parody the genre, but because she sincerely feels the emotions she expresses and "sees [[World of Ham\|the world]] as her personal [[B-Movie~~\|B-movie~~]]". == [[Video Games]] == * Demon Lord Ghirahim from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword ~~(Video Game)~~\|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'' is ridiculously dramatic, but this also highlights his [[Ax Crazy]] persona as well. * Make that "Drama ''Prince''"! Alexander sure acts like one in ''[[King's Quest VI ~~Heir Today Gone Tomorrow (Video Game)~~\|King's Quest VI Heir Today Gone Tomorrow]]'' while he is feigning suicide in front of Shamir Shamazel and the Pawn Shop Owner. == [[Western Animation]] == * Bender from ''[[~~Futurama (Animation)\|~~Futurama]]'' actually admits to being a drama queen a lot of the time. When he thought he had a backup system, he therefore thought he was never in any real danger when the cast was in trouble. But he acted all terrified anyway. * [[Large Ham\|Rarity]] from ''[[My Little Pony: ~~Friendship Is Magic (Animation)\|My Little Pony~~ Friendship Is Magic]]'' (The Trope Images) loves to be dramatic, and even has her own couch just for fainting on<ref>She apparently carries it everywhere, as she was able to summon it from off-screen while on a picnic.</ref> One time Twilight Sparkle was overreacting due to [[Sanity Slippage]], and when Rarity [[Hypocritical Humor\|called her a drama queen]], the other ponies glared at her. [[Hypocrisy Nod\|Rarity quickly corrected with "Relatively speaking]]". ** At one point, she even manages to be a drama queen while writing a letter. * ''[[Total Drama Island ~~(Animation)~~\|Total Drama]]'' has three such characters. Courtney acts as one from the second half of ''Action'' on. An particularly egregious example of this behavior is when she [[Ship Sinking\|breaks up]] with Duncan {{spoiler\|for the last time}} in "The EX-Files", dumping a bowl of spaghetti on his head and throwing an outright tantrum in the Total Drama Plane's cafeteria. Blaineley tries to act like one; however, it comes off more as [[Large Ham]]. Line 63 ⟶ 62: == Other == * This is the basic premise of the [[Memetic Mutation]] videos from ''[[Downfall (~~Film~~film)\|Downfall]]'', by having Hitler fly off the handle over just about anything. {{reflist}} Line 70 ⟶ 69: [[Category:Character Flaw Index]] [[Category:Chewing the Scenery]] [[Category:~~Drama Queen~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Describe Topic Here]]
