Friend to All Living Things/Playing With
Basic Trope: Animals like Alice a lot.
- Straight: Whenever Alice tries petting an animal, they accept it because they like her.
- Exaggerated:
- Alice is always, without exception, seen with a huge bunch of animals.
- Alice never gets sick, because even bacteria and viruses are fond of her.
- Justified:
- Alice controls some kind of magic that make animals like her immediately.
- Alternatively: Alice works with animals of various sorts constantly, and knows how to read their body language, as well as what postures are threatening and which aren't.
- Inverted:
- Enemy to All Living Things or Animals Hate Him
- Omnicidal Maniac
- Alternatively: Alice is a cold-hearted and intimidating woman, and tends to find kindred spirits in rather unnerving creatures. She can get a yellowjacket to perch on her fingers without much effort, snakes love to climb on her, and she's constantly followed by spiders.
- Subverted: Alice pets a cat... but it hits her immediately, seeming angry.
- Double Subverted: ... but it turned out the cat just wanted to play. Cats are funny like that.
- Parodied:
- A polar bear seems to be hundreds of miles from its natural habitat for the sole purpose of trying to get Alice to rub its tummy.
- Alternatively: Alice is a friend to all kinds of animals, and her definition of "cute" includes things that give some of her friends the crawlies. She's rather put-off that they had such a poor reaction to the tiny little snakes.
- Deconstructed:
- Because Alice has got such a good bond with animals, she has trouble making human friends.
- Alternatively: Alice attempts to befriends the predator species only makes her end up as their next meal.
- Reconstructed:
- However, she keeps on trying and eventually, she finds someone with the same problems.
- Alternatively, she stops trying and decides she is fine with it the way it is.
- Zig Zagged: Whenever animals are around Alice, they switch between being kind and being mean.
- Averted: Animals don't love Alice more than they would love someone else.
- Enforced: "Hey, we need a likeable character! Let's make her loved by animals!"
- Lampshaded:
- Alice: "Hey, animals surely seem to like me."
- "You must spend a fortune on pet food."
- Invoked: Alice always brings food with her so animals surround around her.
- Defied: Alice avoids the outside as much as possible out of fear that the animals will run to her.
- Discussed: "You know, animals really seem to feel comfortable around you."
- Conversed: "Don't you think that character is a bit too liked by animals to be normal?"
