Line 1:
{{trope}}
'''Basic Trope''': Someone wants to be amazing.
* '''Straight''': [[Bratty Half-Pint|Alice]] want to be a [[Everything's Better
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice wants to be a [[Everything's Better
* '''Downplayed''': Alice would like a little more excitement in her life, but not all that much and she won't go to extreme lengths for it.
* '''Justified''': Alice is [[The Woobie]], and constantly gets picked on for no reason. [[Family Guy|That sounds familiar...]]
Line 8:
** [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]
** Alice's friends have cool powers and she doesn't.
** Let's face it, [[Everything's Better
** This trope is common in [[Youngsters]], [[Adult Child|Adult Children]], and [[Unlucky Everydude|Unlucky Everydudes]].
* '''Inverted''': [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]
Line 14:
* '''Double Subverted''': ...promoted all the way up to supreme queen of the universe.
* '''Parodied''': Alice is a complete [[God Mode Sue]] in every way, having more powers and money than Superman and Scrooge Mcduck put together. She constantly complains that she wants to be special... by which she means she wants [[Cool Hat|a pretty, new hat.]]
* '''Deconstructed''': The real reason Alice wants to be special is because she's [[Green-Eyed Monster|envious]] of [[The Ace|Beth]], a [[The Beautiful Elite|pretty]], [[Hundred-Percent Adoration Rating|popular]], [[Mary Sue|perfect]] [[Everything's Better
** Alice has horrible self esteem issues. Even if she were to become special in some way, she would just want to become more special, or even kill anyone she thinks might become more special than her.
* '''Reconstructed''': Alice works on her self-esteem and realizes she's pretty cool too.
