Not to be confused with the movie [[Footloose]].
 
{{tropelist}}
{{examples|Examples}}
* [[Action Mom]]: Keti's mother, [[Retired Badass|Beansprout]], {{spoiler|who later on starts teaching the Indiscriminate Whacking classes.}}
* [[Action Survivor]]
Line 28:
* [[Blatant Lies]]
* [[Body Horror]]: "Prunusalvium."
* [[Bond One -Liner]]: "[[Talking Is a Free Action|Attacks are best kept concise.]]"
* [[Blessed With Suck]]: Keti suffers from "Primary Protagonist Syndrome", meaning she'll always be drawn into the story even if she's not ready for it.
** Jin's werewolf hearing allows her to hear all the mean things the magical girls say about her behind her back.
Line 61:
* [[Groin Attack]]: Referenced when Keti passes her first test and Jin excitedly says to Keti, "Prada-sensei said that kick would have castrated any normal man!" Daniel shudders.
* [[Grows On Trees]]: There are croissant trees in Faerie.
* [[Half -Human Hybrid|Half Human Hybrids]]: Loads and loads. Keti is half human, a quarter nymph and a quarter werewolf, while Liame is half human and half imp. Other Fey hybrids exist, but the risk of mental instability rises the more species are involved.
* [[Healing Factor]]: Werewolves and half-weres have this. Jin is at one point injured by a [[Humongous Mecha]], and is up the next day, though still covered with bruises.
* [[Henpecked Husband]]: Both Yakky (Keti's father) and J (Jin and Daniel's father) [http://www.footloosecomic.com/footloose/pages.php?page=23 fit] this description rather well:
Line 72:
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Each chapter of ''Cherry'' - not counting the prologue - is a reference to a song [[David Bowie]] has performed.
* [[Instant Runes]]
* [[If ItsIt's You ItsIt's Okay]]: {{spoiler|Keti regarding An, after she is revealed to be female.}} Although it could be argued that {{spoiler|Keti's}} sexuality hasn't been established either way - and indeed, at the end of the Emerald City arc, Iordan seems to have [http://footloosecomic.com/footloose/pages.php?page=440 the idea] that ''she's'' the rule and ''he's'' the exception - her anguish over liking {{spoiler|a now FEMALE An}} at least indicates that she is not comfortable with the idea of being attracted to another female. She seems to at one [http://www.footloosecomic.com/footloose/pages.php?page=328 point] reach a sense of acceptance, just in time to witness {{spoiler|the growing attraction between An and Daniel}}. Possibly related to [[Even the Girls Want Her]].
* [[Journey to The Center of The Mind]]: Keti's occasional conversations between her human, fae, and wolf aspects.
* [[Jumping the Gender Barrier]]: {{spoiler|An and Daniel}}.
* [[Kick Chick]]: "Kung Shoe" seems to be comprised mostly of thrown shoes and kicks to the head (or groin).
* [[Kick the Son of A Bitch]]: Captain Kitty is constantly tormenting Sparkle the [[Alpha Bitch]], despite having no idea who she is.
* [[Killed Mid -Sentence]]: An AI (a literal Plot Device) is shorted out {{spoiler|by Fey!Keti}} just before it's about to reveal the solution to their latest predicament.
* [[The Klutz]]: Keti, though she's slowly getting better.
* [[Lady Land]]: A very mild case, but it's repeatedly stressed that men do not [[Writer On Board|and should not]] have equal social standing in Faerie. Even the weakness of men's magic is artificially induced as social policy, not inherent.
* [[Lecture As Exposition]]: Fails nearly every time Flibbage tries it - non-fae tend to have [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]] when it comes to Genrerics, the physical laws of the Faerie Realm, comparable to how physics rule the human world.
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: Keti and Dan. Keti is [[Blatant Lies|blatantly lying]] when she [http://footloosecomic.com/footloose/pages.php?page=154 actually says so], but they really do interact like bickersome siblings, and quite sexlessly.
* [[Locked Into Strangeness]]: Keti, after her experience with the Sword of Slayskull, now possesses dark stripes in her blond hair.
Line 111:
* [[Pirates]]: Really more terrestrial fences and bootleggers (at least until {{spoiler|banished to a more piratical alternate universe}}), but they certainly ''act'' like pirates. Arr, Cap'n!
* [[Red Shirt]]: Jimmy is determined not to be the team red shirt even though Princess Flibbage practically states that's the major reason he's being sent on the quest.
* [[Relax -O -Vision]]
* [[Robot Buddy]]: Played with - all the [[Powered Armor]] AIs are a bit flaky, but M3H-13 takes every opportunity to rip his owner's self-esteem to shreds.
{{quote| '''M3H-13:''' {{smallcaps|ha ha, you're a [[Red Shirt]].}}}}
Line 126:
* [[Subtext]]: lampshaded by Iordan:
{{quote| '''Iordan:''' Oh great. Well while we're all talking in subtext, I hope Keti's OK because "''[[Just Friends|she's my friend]]''"}}
* [[Super -Powered Evil Side]]
* [[Sword of Plot Advancement]]: The Sword of Slayskull that Faerie Pirates steal and the heroes have to retrieve.
* [[Sword and Gun]]: [[Pirate Girl|Kitty]] fits this [[Pirate]] associated trope nicely, especially after stealing the Sword of Slayskull.
Line 133:
* [[Talk to The Fist]]: Subverted when {{spoiler|Fey!Keti}} begins talking, then attacks in the middle of {{spoiler|her ''own''}} speech.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: invoked on at least two occasions:
{{quote| '''Iordan:''' But now you guys are here too, [[What Could Possibly Go Wrong?|what could possibly go wr-]] ''(is promptly knocked down, bound, and gagged)''<br />
'''An:''' ARE YOU INSANE!? Don't say that kind of thing! }}
