Line 12:
She has allocated her [[Weapon of Choice|STRIFE SPECIBUS]] with the [[The Gambler|DICEKIND]] [[Confusion Fu|ABSTRATUS]].
 
For a brief period of time later in the story she became [[Homestuck (Webcomic)/Sprites/Characters|Jane's sprite, along with Tavros]]. [[Came Back Wrong]] applies heavily here. See that character's section for tropes pertaining to it.

Line 37:
*** This now seems to be her new mission, with a reluctant Tavros in tow.
* [[Badass Boast]]: {{color|#004183| Save your 8reath, page. I 8n't dead just yet.}}
* [[Base Breaker]]: Done [[Invoked Trope|intentionally]] and with an [[Teasing Creator|incredible degree of success]]. The character has been portrayed [[Mary Sue|in several places on the Mary Sue spectrum]] both with and without irony, crossed the [[Moral Event Horizon|moral event horizon]] twice, is given [[Alas, Poor Villain|sympathetic]] [[Pet the Dog|moments]], and greater focus [[Fan Dumb|whenever the fighting starts to die down]].
** As of more recent updates, fandom has accepted her more as she's revealed she's not really all that evil to begin with, and was mostly overcompensating the entire time. It helps that several of the other characters like Eridan, Jack, and Gamzee have been unrepentant murderers solely in it for fun and revenge.
* [[Big Yes]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004096 Yeah!!!!!!!!]
Line 71:
* [[Dramatic Irony|Dramaaaaaaaatic Irony]]: After she dies and goes to the dreambubbles, she finally meets John and goes on a "not-d8", but it's the alternate-John that was killed by Terezi and he doesn't know who she is.
* [[Driven to Villainy]]: She had to become a mass murderer to keep her lusus from eating her.
* [[Duel to Thethe Death]]: She has one with Tavros. She wins. [[Curb Stomp Battle|Within seconds.]]
** She ''might, by a hair's breadth,'' have actually suceeded with Bec Noir, but she never got the chance because it would've meant the deaths of the surviving trolls and Terezi wouldn't allow it.
* [[Dying Alone]]: Although Terezi and Karkat are there, they leave her bleeding out on the floor.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003615 Lower right corner.] Why, hello there, Vriska!
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Spinning]]: Not Vriska herself, but [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005428 her glasses] after [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|receiving a punch]] from Undead Kanaya.
* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: She takes it in stride that people will want to do horrible things to her in return for her own machinations. But she haaaaaaaates when people try to be nice to her.
* [[Evil Hand]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004123 Equius reminds her who built her replacement arm.]
Line 98:
*** [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004280 And indeed it doesn't.]
* [[Fusion Dance]]: As a result of Gamzee chucking her and Tavros' dead bodies into Jane's unprototyped kernelsprite.
* [[The Gambling Addict]]: Can't get enough of games with high stakes, such as Flarp, so naturally she would play Sgrub, which has [[The End of the World Asas We Know It|really high stakes]].
** Not to mention the high stakes involved in trying to outwit an omnipotent godlike being using his own scrying tool.
*** Or manipulating an entire timeline so she can vanquish an unbeatable foe.
Line 117:
** She didn't collapse afterwards, if [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006667 Terezi's memory] is anything to go by- [[Jerkass|she went out of her way]] [[Kick the Dog|to do some gloating]].
** Also she mind-jacks Tavros to speak with him by [[Couldn't Find a Pen|writing messages with her blood]], telling him to take her to her Quest Bed.
* [[Hero Withwith an F In Good]]: Let's just say that Vriska's ability to judge the proper way to act out her good intentions is...shaky at best.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Includes complaining about manipulating people's body parts, fussing about Kanaya's meddling with her meddling, and best of all -
{{quote| {{color|#004183| AG: You were f8ed for a team of losers, full of 8lind girls and lame 8oys and cranky iiiiiiiim8eciles.}}}}
Line 133:
{{color|#004183| AG: oooooooohn!}} }}
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: Well most of her schemes seem to be failures and she is at least somewhat [[Base Breaker|sympathetic]]. Ends up being a subversion, in that she is not anywhere near ineffectual when it counts. She falls more into [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] rather than evil as well.
* [[In Love Withwith Your Carnage]]: After Vampire Kanaya kicks [[Monster Clown|Gamzee]] so hard in the balls that he flies off a cliff, decks ''Vriska'', and then messily chainsaws Eridan in half (in revenge for killing her), Vriska is just ''swooning''.
* [[Irony]]: Firmly believes in luck and its power to alter situations. She ''herself'' is extremely predictable.
** Also, the Scorpio troll is stabbed to death. A double whammy when you consider how she herself kills Tavros and John.
Line 139:
* [[Jerkass]]: Overconfident to a fault, and loves to play up her abilities, regard herself as the best, and generally taunt most of the other people she knows.
* [[Jerkass Facade]]: However, she is trying too hard, and it shows. Karkat calls it "pretender's hate" among [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004196 other things.]
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Jerk]]
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Subverted: Her use of her powers to put people to sleep at first seems like meaningless antagonism, but [[You Can't Fight Fate|she's preserving the nature of the alpha timeline.]]
** Although it doesn't stop her from being a jerk about it
Line 161:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Or at least she likes to think so. Without her VISION EIGHTFOLD or mind-control powers, she can't really do much more than annoy people. She ultimately turns out to be a much bigger example than anyone could have anticipated
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Serket is the goddess of healing stings and bites who originally was the deification of the scorpion.
** Vriska, or rather, Vṛścika(वृष्चिक) is the name of Scorpio in Sanskrit. [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|Also spelled]] Vrikchika and vr̥ṣcikaḥ.
* [[Melee a Trois]]: All set to happen with Eridan and Gamzee, and then promptly subverted when rainbow drinker Kanaya shows up.
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: Not in color, but in the number of ''pupils'' they have. (Vriska actually considers this to be 7 eyes rather than one eye with 7 pupils, which is how it appears.)
Line 216:
* [[Sink or Swim Mentor]]: For Tavros. Does something similar to John also.
* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]: She wants to do this with Tavros oh so much. He's too afraid of her to do anything about it.
* [[Slasher Smile]]: Tavros challenges her to a [[Duel to Thethe Death]] with the universal throat-cutting gesture. Vriska whips [[Crosses the Line Twice|out those severed legs]] [[Cerebus Retcon|from Alterniabound]] and does one of those across the waist, gleefully sporting one of these.
* [[Smug Snake]]: She talks herself up like the best troll there is, but she can't really manipulate anyone without resorting to mind control.
* [[Snow Means Death]]: [http://mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005785 Right here.]
