Line 16:
* [[Badass Long Hair]]: In Season 1
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Comes riding to the rescue of {{spoiler|King's Landing with Tywin Lannister}} - wearing Renly's armour.
* [[Camp Gay]]: Borders on this, specially when compared to Renly's [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]].
* [[The Cavalry]]: {{spoiler|In "Blackwater".}}
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Clingy Jealous Boy]]: Has (understandably) not had the best response to Renly making Brienne a member of his Kingsguard.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: He rode a mare that was in heat, knowing [[The Dreaded|Gregor]] would be [[Testosterone Poisoning|riding a stallion]]. Characters grumble over whether it makes him this trope or [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty|a dirty cheat]].
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Crouching Fop, Hidden Badass]]: To the point that his lover believes he could train for years and never be half as good as Ser Loras.
* [[The Dandy]]: Shiny armor, immaculately groomed, loves his flowers.
* [[Dead Person Impersonation]] / [[El Cid Ploy]]: In {{spoiler|"Blackwater", as a result of wearing Renly's armor into battle as an homage to him.}}
Line 27:
** [[Knight in Sour Armour]]: Seems to have become this in Series 2. Even his once spotless suit of armour has become dirty and tarnished.
* [[Lady Macbeth]]: Without his lips whispering encouragement in Renly's ear (and doing... other things in other places), Renly probably still would have ''thought'' he'd make a good king, but he'd probably never have acted on those thoughts. Possibly a subversion, as other characters have implied Renly's legitimately is the best choice of all the people related to Robert, and only out of the running due to an accident of birth order.
* [[Machiavelli Was Wrong]]: He thinks Renly should be king because unlike those who came before him, he would be ''loved'' instead of hated or feared.
* [[Memetic Sex God]]: Even random Lannister soldiers think he's prettier than the Queen.
* [[The Mistress]]: Despite being there first, Loras is now Renly's with his sister being the official spouse. She's cool with it.
* [[Pretty Boy]]
* [[Revenge]]: His reason to {{spoiler|team with the Lannisters after Renly is killed.}}
Line 35:
** He also proceeds to do this with Margaery and the Tyrell armies after {{spoiler|Renly's sudden death.}}
* [[Agent Peacock|Ser Peacock]]
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Loras publically pretends that his family's alliance with Renly is motivated by politics and ambition to conceal the fact that he is actually being romantically involved with the aspiring King. See Margaery to contrast.
* [[Transparent Closet]]: He and Renly aren't fooling anyone. Except perhaps Brienne, who is implied to love Renly.
 
Line 55:
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: To Renly {{spoiler|and later Joffrey.}}
* [[Ascended Extra]]: She's pretty much a cypher in the books, while the show portrays her as being very politically savvy, and willing to endure a lot to get her family into power.
* [[The Beard]]: Only married to [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar|Renly]] to secure the armies of the Reach to his banner. [[Lampshaded Trope|Lampshaded]] by both her and Loras.
* [[Contractual Purity]]: In-universe, as it is expected of any noble woman before her marriage. Renly suspects that she is not as virginal as the "official" version promulgated by House Tyrell says - [[The Beard|and he is perfectly okay with that]].
* [[Genre Savvy]]
* [[Hot Consort]]: Renly's. Hell, her actress is the trope page's image.
* [[Incompatible Orientation]]: Utterly [[Averted]]. Unlike her brother, Margaery seems to love what Renly can do for House Tyrell rather than the man himself and doesn't care at all that he's gay, even offering to bring in Loras to get Renly started when they need to conceive an heir.
* [[Lady Macbeth]]: A [[Incredibly Lame Pun|straighter]] example, perhaps, than her brother. Though Loras is predominantly concerned with winning the Iron Throne for Renly, Margaery is focused in helping him ''keep'' it.
