French Maid: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

While the French Maid costume has some basis in the black and white uniforms once worn by actual maids in the 19th century, the original costumes were almost never as [[Fan Service|fan servicy]] as those found in modern times. The attitude is also part of the package, inasmuch as she is essentially the ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soubrette soubrette]'' of the old French comedy: she will be extremely flirty, often with a feather duster. [[Tsundere|She also acts snippy, pert and cheeky to everyone who isn't her employer (and sometimes him)]] and superior to any of the other servants except the butler and maybe the cook. The French Maid will speak with an over-exaggerated French accent and use [[Gratuitous French]].
