Line 1: {{work}} [[File:normal_misfileposter1.jpg\|frame\|The four main characters.]] {{quote\|''"In one little corner of the universe, there's nothing more irritating than a misfile…"''}} A [[Web Comics\|webcomic]] by Chris Hazelton, ''[~~http~~https://www.misfile.com/ Misfile]'' ([~~http~~https://www.misfile.com/~~hell-high~~misfile/~~2019~~2004-0802-2922 first page]) is the story of "a girl who was a boy, a Harvard-bound genius missing two years of her life, and the pot headed angel who did it to them" via a Celestial filing accident. In the small hillside town of Tempest, Massachusetts, Boy racer Ash was turned into a girl, studious Emily had the past two years of her life erased—including her admission to Harvard—and angelic loser Rumisiel was exiled to Earth for his incompetence. Fortunately, due to a side effect of the accident, only these three remember the universe-as-it-was. Lucky, because Rumisiel fears his superiors would likely 'correct' the misfile by making it permanent. Mixing street racing, girl-bonding, and car tuning sessions with angels, supernatural weirdness and the trials and tribulations—from getting hit on by guys to bras—of a boy suddenly transformed into a girl, ''Misfile'' defies simple categorization as the two heroines struggle to deal with the craziness that has taken over their lives while trying to get Rumisiel back into heaven so he can fix his mistake. Complications arise, of course, not the least of which is Rumisiel's [[Lazy Bum\|perpetual slacker]] nature. The comic is notable for dealing with a [[Gender Bender]] plot in a much less [[Fan Service]]-ey way, and with much more emotional depth and serious character consideration, than is the norm. Essentially, if you left out the supernatural and fantastical elements of the story, you'd still be left with a good tale about the challenges faced by a [[~~Transsexualism~~transgender]] boy dealing with life in a girl's body. Also unusual is the fact that the "old universe", where Ash is a boy with emotionally distant parents and Emily is a college-bound senior with a mean streak, has literally never been seen in the comic, although it's often alluded to. Has a [[Misfile/Characters\|character page]] that [[Needs More Love]]. {{tropelist}} Line 67 ⟶ 65: {{quote\|''"Under code 37 'B' of the Emergencies Act I authorize a complete lockdown of the filing depots until further notice."''}} * [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: {{spoiler\|The murder of several high ranking angels, including "two keyholders"}} has heralded in a steadily darkening plotline. However, for the most part the story remains dark only when the story focuses on the angels. One might say that the knights of God are in fact [[Knight of Cerebus\|Knights of Cerebus]]. * [[Chainmail Bikini]]: The Halloween costume Missi made for Ash, [http://www.misfile.com/?page=1565 who naturally] [[~~Lampshades~~lampshade]]s this. * [[Character Development]]: Nowadays, [http://www.misfile.com/?page=13 flipping someone off] would be considered [[Out of Character]] for Emily. ** Averted with Missi, which is one of the problems with her character. There was that one time in the shower where she mentioned her parents being neglectful and her feeling like an outsider with Ash and Emily, but that revelation seems to have mostly been ignored.
