Line 4:
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Alice has hardly any villainous traits and is a villain in name only.
** Alice lives in a [[Supervillain Lair]], practices her [[Evil Laugh]], and [[Card -Carrying Villain|declares that she's evil]] and will [[Take Over the World]], but rarely causes any real trouble. She just likes the [[Super Villain]] lifestyle.
** [[Designated Villain]]
** [[Hero Antagonist]]
* '''Justified''': Alice has a sympathetic [[Backstory]] and comes from a setting where the heroes are either [[Good Is Dumb|incompetent]], [[Knight Templar|Knight Templars]], or [[Dirty Cop|corrupt]]. Overlaps with [[Hero Antagonist]].
* '''Inverted''':
** [[Anti -Hero]]
** [[Complete Monster]]
* '''Subverted''':
** Alice is a heroic villain...Most of the time, at least, but from time to time, she flies off the handle and [[Jumps Off the Slippery Slope]], performing outright villainous acts.
** She is a [[Villain With Good Publicity|villain with such good publicity]] that even the viewer doesn't believe that she is really evil...until her true goals become apparent, which are far over the [[Moral Event Horizon]].
** As we see more and more of Alice, it's becomes clear that she's [[Anti -Hero|Not even a Villain]] in the first place.
* '''Double Subverted''': Alice realizes her mistakes and is trying to keep herself on the blurry line of [[Anti -Villain|Antivillainy]]
* '''Parodied''':
** Alice likes to think of herself as villainous, but in reality, she is a true hero whose fellow villains aren't even convinced of her evil.
Line 27:
* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice continues to cross the line between hero and villain, depending on the situation.
* '''Averted''': Alice is a traditional villain with all that entails, only having enough sympathetic traits to make her believable.
* '''Enforced''': "Hey, we need a counter-point to our [[Anti -Hero]]...Let's make Alice sympathetic!"
* '''Lampshaded''': "You sure are very heroic for a villain."
* '''Invoked''': Alice [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|intentionally]] acts as a morally ambiguous villain so as to capitalize on [[Protagonist -Centered Morality]].
* '''Defied''': Alice tries as hard as possible to deny her good side so that she doesn't have to be upset with herself.
* '''Discussed''': "Don't feel bad that we defeated her, she was evil!" "But she was trying to [[Well -Intentioned Extremist|save the world...just differently]]."
* '''Conversed''': "Why does Alice seem to be more [[Anti -Hero|heroic than the hero]] in this show?
