Line 62:
* [[The High Queen]]
* [[Smart People Play Chess]]: Apparently one of the most skilled players in the court.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Too many alternate spellings to mention here. Gwynyvere, Guenevere, etc. The most common modern version is ''Jennifer''.
* [[Tsundere]]
* [[World's Most Beautiful Woman]]
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: Her affair with Lancelot is usually kind of a "bad move" for the round table's morale.

Line 72 ⟶ 71:
=== Lancelot ===
* [[The Ace]]
* [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: The more recent the depiction, the more of a pretty boy Lancelot tends to be. But in his initial appearances he was a stout, heavily-muscled barrel of a man who was decidedly unattractive. (T.H. White acknowledges this by making him distinctly ''ugly'', to the point that he's compared to a gorilla.)
* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: After the Grail Quest, he forgets everything he learned about purity and all that and starts sleeping with Guinevere again.
* [[The Atoner]]: Most of his quest for the Holy Grail is him atoning for his sins.
Line 81:
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[The Lancer]]: [[Trope Codifier]].
* [[Sailor Earth]]: He wasn't introduced into the myths until the twelfth century, with [[Chrétien de Troyes|Chretien De Troyes]]'s ''Lancelot, Knight of the Cart''.
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: He doesn't show up at the Round Table until long after it's assembled.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"|Spell My Name With A U]]: Sometimes spelled "Launcelot".
