Trope-tan is the [[Anthropomorphic Personification|Anthropomorphic]] [[Moe Anthropomorphism|Moe Personification]] of [[The Other Tropes Wiki]], drawn by [[Vigilante Taxonomist]] [[Tropers/Fawriel|Fawriel]] in response to [[That Other Wiki]]'s [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Works_by_Kasuga Wikipe-tan]<ref>And, for that matter, [http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Uncyclo-Tan Uncyclo-tan] And [http://encyclopediadramatica.se/Ae-tan Æ-tan]..</ref>
'''Physical qualities:'''
* Carries a [[BFS|BFQ]], a Big Frickin' [[Improbable Weapon User|Quill]].
* Displays the [[Avatar and The Airbending Fellowship of Vampire Slayers/Episode Guide|AATAFOVS]] logo proudly.
* On the belt...
** An [[Idiot Ball]], for stupefying opponents. But carrying it means she [[Forgot I Could Fly|often forgets what it's there for]]. When not holding the ball, she is a [[Guile Hero|devastating]] [[The Chessmaster|chess master]].
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
** A [[The Kid with the Remote Control|television remote control.]]
** A [[Video Games|video game system]], specifically a [[Game Boy Advance]].
** [[Too Many Belts|More belts.]] Which also happen to be [[Wick|Wicks]]s.
** She can also [[MacGyvering|combine these]] with [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|practically anything]] for [[Exponential Potential|near-infinite results]].
* Has [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|blue hair]] and [[Mismatched Eyes]] (an obvious allusion to her sailor ways). Her [[Orange-Blue Contrast|blue hair and orange top]] form the old [[TV Tropes]] colour scheme.
* Sports a [[Cute Little Fangs]]. Sometimes gives her [[Fang Thpeak]].
* [[Rummage Sale Reject|Buys her clothes at a rummage sale.]]
* May also sport a [[Nice Hat|nice]] [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] [[Lampshade-Wearing|hat]].
* Her [[Goggles Do Nothing|goggles used to do nothing]], but have [[Retcon|since been upgraded]] to [[Goggles Do Something Unusual|see through time]]. (They also keep people from [[Eye Scream|plucking her eyes out]]. [[Crazy Prepared|You never know]], after all.)
* The [[Odango Hair|hairstyle]] is [[Faux Symbolism|symbolical]] of the eternal [[Lumper vs. Splitter]] wars.
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* Is a [[Pettanko]], but suffers from [[A-Cup Angst]] because she's been led to think [[Buxom Is Better]].
* Is [[So Cool Its Awesome|So Cool She's Awesome]].<ref>[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|What do you mean, she's not?]]</ref>
** As a meta example, [[Curtains Match the Window|her color scheme]] was also the inspiration for the logo]][[media:SoCoolItsAwesome_5604SoCoolItsAwesome 5604.jpg|SoCoolItsAwesome_5604.jpgthe logo]].
* She is [[I Am Not Left-Handed|Ambidextrous]].
* She may be [[Bi the Way|Bisexual]], or [[No Bisexuals|not]].
Line 42 ⟶ 41:
* [[Deadpan Snarker|She may seem sarcastic at times]], [[Hidden Depths|but if you get to know her]], you'll find she is a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]].
 
'''Other details:'''
* Also, [[Will They or Won't They?|mayMay or may not]] have a [[Slap Slap Kiss]] romance with that [[Affably Evil|devilish yet sincere]] fellow known as [[Television Without Pity|Tubeelzebub]]...
* We think [[User:TheTVTropes' Advertisement Server]] doesn't like her, or at the very least, thinks [[Unnecessary Makeover|she needs to clean her teeth, go to a tanning salon, change her hair and/or use some wrinkle cream]]. He has also called her a Virgin (Records), which she denies. (In fairness, it would [[Virgin Power|explain the source of all her power.]]) He has also asked her to [[media:police trope tan 6760.jpg|wear a sexy police outfit]] — was this the beginning of a [[Boy Meets Girl|love story]] between Trope-tan and The Advertisement Server, or was he simply inadvertently broadcasting his [[Fetish|filthy]] [[Fan Service|filthy]] [[Custom Uniform of Sexy|fantasies]]?
* Is not a [[Bomb Throwing Anarchist|bomb-thrower]], but [[Cool People Rebel Against Authority|does show a disdain for authority]]. She believes that the [[Authority Equals Asskicking|justification for all authority]] [[Asskicking Equals Authority|is rooted in the use of force]]. Her preferred politics are oriented more towards [[Enigmatic Empowering Entity|watery tarts]] [[It May Help You on Your Quest|dispensing]] [[Amulet of Concentrated Awesome|sacred relics]]. This naturally limits her choices in the voting booth, forcing her to [[Take a Third Option]] every time.
** However, right now he is asking her to [[media:police_trope_tan_6760.jpg|wear a sexy police outfit]]. The beginning of a [[Boy Meets Girl|love story]] between [[Trope-tan]] and [[User:The Advertisement Server]], or is he simply inadvertently broadcasting his [[Fetish|filthy]] [[Fan Service|filthy]] [[Custom Uniform of Sexy|fantasies]]?
* Is not a [[Bomb Throwing Anarchist|bomb-thrower]] despite the [[AATAFOVS]] badge, but [[Cool People Rebel Against Authority|does show a disdain for authority]]. She believes that the [[Authority Equals Asskicking|justification for all authority]] [[Asskicking Equals Authority|is rooted in the use of force]]. Her preferred politics are oriented more towards [[Enigmatic Empowering Entity|watery tarts]] [[It May Help You on Your Quest|dispensing]] [[Amulet of Concentrated Awesome|sacred relics]]. This naturally limits her choices in the voting booth, forcing her to [[Take a Third Option]] every time.
* Her [[The Mentor|mentor]] was [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]] ([[The Obi-Wan|until he made a]] [[Heroic Sacrifice]]) and [[Mentor Occupational Hazard|died]]. He did [[Go Out with a Smile]] in an [[Obi-Wan Moment]], however.
** He [[Unexplained Recovery|got better]], and went on to his own story arc.
* Recently discovered to have some sisters, [[Separated at Birth]]. [[Mysterious Waif-tan]]-tan is one. [[Black Magician Girl-tan]]-tan is another.
** One of her sisters also seems to be the [[Annoying Laugh|laughable]] [[Cute Bruiser-tan]]-tan.
* Some people say that she's probably Sailor Trope, too. Everything's a sailor nowadays.
** [[Transformation Trinket|They probably noticed a strange asterisk on her belt]]
** That's a remnant from her time as the Ego in a [[PowerFreudian Trio]] with Wikipe-tan (Superego) and Uncyclo-tan (Id). They see each other once in a while these days, mostly just for fun and memories.
** Her transformation [[Clothing Damage|has her clothes melt away]], then Trope-tan is enveloped with film reels. An explosion of text reveals her costume.
* Has also been heard rehearsing [[Badass Boast|a little speech]] as a [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]].
{{quote| ''"Unforgiveable! Agent of [[Buffy-Speak|unnotability]] and [[Wiki Magic]], pretty [[Rummage Sale Reject]] in a [[Limited Wardrobe]], Sailor [[Trope-tan]]! [[In the Name of the Moon|In the name of This Troper]], I will [[Justifying Edit|justifyingly edit]] you!"''}}
* [[The Conscience|Her conscience]] has [[Good Angel, Bad Angel|two sides]]: [[Darth Wiki|Darth-tan]] and [[Sugar Wiki|Sugarplum-tan]]. It's arguable that she has [[Blue and Orange Morality|a third side]] but the rumor has yet to be confirmed. See below for details.
* She is [[Tropes Are Not Bad|not bad]], but [[Tropes Are Not Good|not entirely good]] either. She may or may not have a [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] named Gigatrope-tan, AKA [[theThe Wiki Witch of the Web]]. Those who say she does have [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|lost their minds]] to [[The Tetris Effect|the Wiki Effect]] and [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|can no longer think straight]].
* Is both [[Older Than They Think]] and [[Newer Than They Think]]. Something about [[Timey-Wimey Ball|wibbily-wobbily, or somesuch.]]
* She also has a [[Fridge Logic|fridge that's somehow]] [[Reality Warper|able to warp reality itself,]] [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality|not that it's a Bad Thing.]] [[Fridge Brilliance|In fact, it's brilliant.]]
** [[Fridge Horror|And really scary, once you think about it.]]
* She owns [[Tropey the Wonder Dog]], but not the [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/natterhound.php Natterhound], who is kept in an automated doghouse maintained by [[User:The Advertisement Server]]. In retrospect, [[Kick the Dog|perhaps that wasn't such a good idea]]...
* Her favorite dance is the [[Caramelldansen Vid|Caramell DansenCaramelldansen.]]
* She might possibly be a [[Time Lord/WMG|Time Lady]] but she might not;[[Flip-Flop of God|the jury's still out on this one]].
* Does, in fact, [[One of Us|edit TV Tropes itself]]. [[The Other Troper|*cough*]]
* She appeared as an NPC in Season One of [[''The Massive Multi Fandom RPG]]''. {{spoiler|Unfortunately, [[Memetic Mutation|Anonymous]] did some [[Complete Monster|pretty]] [[Kick the Dog|terrible]] [[Eye Scream|things]] to her.[[Red Herring|Thankfully, it wasn't the real Trope-tan.]] Another version of her appears in [[The Stinger]] to rescue a character from [[A Fate Worse Than Death]].}}
** She, and several more of her, play a vital role in Season 2. {{spoiler|The 666th alternate version of her ran amok.}} When the actions of Ol' Sixes create a 'secure testing environment' that various heroes and villains from all over fiction are trapped inside, Trope-Tan, her 'sisters' from alternate worlds, and even the forces of Anonymous unite to try and break them out. {{spoiler|Eventually, Sixes steals the power of the Troper and becomes [[The Wiki Witch of the Web]]. Unlucky for her, that power spirals out of control, and she ends up unable to control herself as she fights the prisoners as [[One-Winged Angel|Gigatrope-tan.]] Finally, she is beaten down to a shadow of her old self, and taken into custody by her sisters, where she seems on the road to recovery, both mentally and physically.}}
** The Trope-Tans are also [[Shout-Out|mentioned offhandedly]] by Moja at the beginning of [[''A Game of Gods]]: Taskforce Sifuri'' as a candidate for a multiversal treasure hunt.
* Her specific [[Big Bad]] is The Hivemind Behind [[Darth Wiki]]. [[The Dragon|The Dragon's]] are all of the [[Data Vampire|Data Vampires]]s, and [[Troll|trollstroll]]s on the forums, also [[Wiki Vandal|Wiki Vandals]]s.
* Can [[Action Girl|kick a lot of ass in a fight]], though [[Faux Action Girl|loses just as often]]. This results in her getting [[Bound and Gagged|tied up and gagged]], though not for long, because she can always [[Conveniently -Placed Sharp Thing|find something to cut herself loose with]].
** Of course, [[Actually a Doombot|she keeps robot doubles around]] to take the heat sometimes. Also, [[Mundane Utility|housework]].
*** [[Mega Manning|When that fails, she just uses her enemies' powers against them.]]
* Has a [[Gender FlippedFlip]]ped form known as, you guessed it, [[Spear Counterpart|Trope-kun]].

== Trope-tan Fanfiction ==
=== ''[[Magical Girl]] [[Moe Anthropomorphism|Anthropomorphic]] Trope-tan'' by [[Tropers/Koveras|Koveras]] ===
 
[[In a World]] where [[Real Life|reality]] and fiction exist [[Alternate Universe|side by side]], [[Ordinary High School Student]] Trope-tan [[Falling Into the Cockpit|falls into possession]] of a powerful [[Artifact of Doom|artifact]] on her [[Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday|sixteenth birthday]]: a [[Magic Wand|magical staff]] named [[There Is No Such Thing as Notability|Tinstan]] that allows her to [[Wiki Magic|bring lost or obscure tropes back to life in full glory]]. Determined to [[The Messiah|do good]] [[Walking the Earth|to the world]], she starts on a path of [[Wiki Magic|Wiki Magician]], [[YKTTW|searching for]] and improving such tropes. Things get difficult when the [[Dark Magical Girl]] Wikipe-tan ([[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] attire included) is sent by her [[Evil Matriarch|evil mother]] Wiki[[Classical Mythology|medea]] to Trope-tan's world to search and destroy all in-universe [[Elemental Powers|Elements of Fiction]], armed with such devastating spells as NPOV, Citation Needed, and Speedy Deletion ([[Calling Your Attacks|called out]] in [[Gratuitous English]]). And it all gets ''really'' complicated when a [[Cool Ship]] from TVTI shows up. [[Home Page|TVTI]] is an interuniversal organization of "tropers" who strive to achieve [[Balance Between Good and Evil|balance]] and integrity among the tropes before they [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|ruin all life in the multiverse]]. This balance is now [[Apocalypse How|about to crumble]] thanks to Trope-tan's indiscriminate resurrection, Wikipe-tan's indiscriminate deletion, and the epic [[Edit War]] between them. The tropers also have a secret agenda to [[Slash Fic|slash]] and [[Shipping|ship]] [[Foe Yay|Trope-tan/Wikipe-tan]] in every manner possible, so [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|tensions]] between them are beginning to rise...
 
=== ''Trope-tan and the [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|Stealer of the Spotlight]]'' by [[Tropers/Peteman|Peteman]] ===
 
[[It Was a Dark and Stormy Night]]. Trope-tan stood over the broken body of Firefox-Tan, [[Character Derailment|cackling triumphantly over her victim]]. Wikipe-Tan stood there in [[Draco in Leather Pants|her leather pants]], growling, [[There Is No Such Thing as Notability|"This is what happens where the is no notability!]] [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Editors run amok and there is nothing to stop them]]" But Trope-tan walked over, and [[Standard Female Grab Area|grabbed her arm]], and all Wikipe-Tan could do was scream "[[Badass Decay|LET ME GO! LET ME GO!!]]" as [[Chickification|she broke down crying.]] Trope-tan threw her to the ground, then [[Kick the Dog|kicked her unconscious]] [[Down the Drain|down a manhole]] into the [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]].
 
Firefox-Tan picked herself off the ground. She needed to stop Trope-tan, so she shouted "[[In the Name of the Moon|In the Name of]] [[Did Not Do the Research|Google, I will use my Search Engine powers to defeat you!"]] at which point, she summoned her [[They Just Didn't Care|frost powers]] to blast Trope-tan... She fired her giant ultimate unstoppable [[Beam Spam|multi-blast frost beam attack]]... but Trope-tan [[The Worf Barrage|deflected it easily]]. Trope-tan skated toward Firefox-Tan, saying "[[Evil Gloating|Foolish girl! You could not hope to defeat me..."]]
 
That's when [[Steven Ulysses Perhero|Ulysses Tristan Steven]] [[Sdrawkcab Name|Ytram]] appeared out of nowhere, yelling "Have no fear citizen! [[Marty Stu|U.T.S. Ytram]] is here!"
 
Trope-tan was so mesmerized by U.T.S. Ytram's dramatic entrance and [[Informed Ability|unbelievable charisma]] that she went out of control and [[Wall Banger (Darth Wiki)|slammed into a wall]]. She was even more mesmerized when the dashing young man, along with his giant sword, walked over to her, picked up her quill, and without trying, [[Instant Expert|instantly began wielding it like a master.]]
 
Awed by his mastery and realizing that she stood no chance against this [[Informed Attractiveness|unbelievably attractive man]], she swooned instantly and [[Heel Face Turn|became good]]. She approached the man but the clean and pleasant smelling girls Firefox-Tan and [[Plot Hole|Wikipe-Tan]] charged her. "He's mine! No! Mine!" came the exchange between them, but seconds later, they realized that his awesome magnificense and his giant... sword could be [[Tenchi Solution|shared between the three of them]]. They were about to [[IKEA Erotica|insert parts of him and each other into each other]]...
 
... When Trope-tan [[Catapult Nightmare|awoke bolting upright]] screaming [[Big No|"NOOOOOOOO!"]]
 
Gasping, she realized that whatever just happened, [[It Was All Just a Dream|it wasn't real]]. She took a few calming breaths.
 
Meanwhile, [[Stalker with a Crush|watching on his telescope]], Ulysses Tristan Steven Ytram smiled as the girl went back to sleep, "Soon my dear... very soon..."
 
=== ''Trope-tan and the [[Start of Darkness]]'' by [[Tropers/Vifetoile|Vifetoile]] ===
 
Trope-tan, with [[Tropey the Wonder Dog]] faithfully at her side, put down her quill one evening and [[Contemplate Our Navels|gazed up at the stars.]] "Ah, [[Name's the Same|Tropey]]," she said absently, "How did it come to this? One day I was an [[Ordinary High School Student]], just trying to [[I Just Want to Be Normal|live a normal life]], but then the Call came, and I [[Jumped At the Call]]. Who could blame me? [[Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here]] - or so I thought. [[As You Know]], Wiki[[Classical Mythology|medea]] had ''chosen'' me to train in the arts of [[Wiki Magic]] and seeing [[No Fourth Wall|past the Fourth Wall.]] She trained me alongside her own daughter, Wikipe-tan... she promised that one day I might find the significance of this [[Orphan's Plot Trinket|trinket that my parents left me]]..."
 
She fingered the ring on the chain around her neck for a minute, [[Expospeak|before resuming her story]].
 
"Wikipe-Tan and I [[Rival Turned Evil|were the best of friends, even if we were rivals...]] but when the time came to grant us the true status of [[Dark Magical Girl|Dark Magician Girls]], Wikimedea ''[[Broken Pedestal|scorned]]'' me. She said that my [[There Is No Such Thing as Notability|complete lack of notability]] and my [[Lampshade Hanging|irrepressible urge to hang lampshades]] meant I could never be a force to reckon with Wikipe-Tan in my wildest dreams. She said I had [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|too much heart!]]" Trope-tan grit her [[Cute Little Fangs]] together, [[Mismatched Eyes|her one ruby eye and one emerald eye glaring.]] "I thought Wikipe-Tan might at least stand up to her [[My Beloved Smother|mother]] - but [[And Man Grew Proud|she'd grown proud.]] She turned her back on me. And since that day," Trope-tan gripped the [[BFS|Big Frickin' Quill]] again, "[[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You|I am the only one allowed to defeat her!]]"
 
Trope-tan was startled by the sound of a clap. A slow clap, [[Sarcastic Clapping|slow and sarcastic]]. She turned. A [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]] fellow, who seemed another [[Ordinary High School Student]], was standing there, wearing a black shirt with the NBC peacock on it. "Incredible. Unbelievable. I don't think I've ever seen a [[Expospeak|less subtle insertion of plot exposition.]] Well done. I think my ears are ringing with the clanging of the metaphorical [[Anvilicious|anvils]]."
 
"It was totally believable! I was talking to [[The Watson|my dog!]]"
 
"And where is that dog now?" He asked.
 
"She's..." Trope-tan looked around, but Tropey had left her feet. Instead Tropey was at the feet of the man, who was more roguishly handsome the more Trope-tan looked at him. Tropey kept [[Licked by the Dog|licking the man on the hand affectionately.]]
 
"Believe this is yours." He [[Pet the Dog]] curtly and sent her back to Trope-tan. He turned and walked away.
 
"But wait! Who are you?" Trope-tan called after him.
 
"I'll just be around whenever your ego needs a deflation. [[Television Without Pity|Spare the snark, spoil the MoeMoe]]..." He disappeared into the shadows, leaving Trope-tan and Tropey alone in the night, which was promising to be [[It Was a Dark and Stormy Night|dark and stormy.]]

* A very interesting fic, to say the least, featuring a Trope-tan who's a tease, and a Wikipe-kun who doesn't quite know what to do when faced with her.

=== ''Origins of Darth-tan'' by [[Tropers/Ice Wolfklaske|Ice Wolfklaske]] ===
 
It was at the end of a minor, but vicious flame war. The forces of light and law had emerged victorious, and what little trolls had survived were weary, wounded or altered beyond their previous forms, no longer recognizable as troll. Amidst this chaos and destruction a lone child arose. Wounded deeply by the violence, both physically and mentally, she looked saw upon her fallen kin and realized.
And a terrible realisation it was. But unlike those of her kin who came upon this knowledge more gradually, and in kinder circumstances, she did not join the legions of order.
 
Her heart was hardened by the bitterness of the rivalry, and she decided, with all her skill and potential, to remain on the side she had been born into, but with this realization within her.
This knowledge, that she cultivated and sharpened as one would a wicked living blade, which aided her in her quest against her adversaries. The wounds closed, the scars mostly faded, but her health remained weak, suspicible to fevers, her one leg and arm nearly so weak as to be useless.
 
This did not stop her. As the heat of fevers burned in her body, in her soul burned an icy cold more strongly, with determination and a resolve that did not waver. And she became the most dangerous of many. Her name was not known, and she rarely spoke. But her strength, ah, her deceptive and terrible strength within that frail body. She became a much sought after warrior, until at last, she found her place, her resolve ever burning.
 
And she has been very, very useful to us.

In the [[Warhammer 40000|grim]] [[Grimdark|dark]] [[Bad Future|future]]... there is a woman. This woman [[Genre Savvy|knows how the universe works]]. Clad in hardened steel and salvaged armor, for these are the signs of her time, she strides out to defend the last bastions of Humanity and the great Imperium. Locked behind her [[Lampshade-Wearing|lampshade helmet]], it is said she fears no foe, and needs not see them, for she knows the very heart of [[Our Elves Are Better|Eldar]] and [[Flat Earth Atheist|Tau]], [[Blood Knight|Ork]] and [[Horde of Alien Locusts|Tyrannid]], [[Implacable Man|Necron]] and [[The Corruption|Chaos]] - even [[Humans Are Bastards|Man]] himself. You shall know her by her signs: the [[Avatar and The Airbending Fellowship of Vampire Slayers|sigil]] of her creed, the [[Chainsaw Good|chain]]-[[Rule of Cool|quill]], the blue and orange livery of her Ordo Tropus. Pray to the Emperor that she come in your time of need, for her knowledge [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|turns the tide of battles]], and without it you will be forced to [[Genre Blindness|stumble blindly in the dark]]. None know the source of this woman, or her knowledge, or her order - except the mysterious one herself.

Notes: Trope-tan would be fun to play as. She would be a starting PL8 if she lost the shapeshifting, but I can't bring myself to take away her powers as the plot demands. I guess you could represent that with the not!Ritualist feat if you had to.
 
Kawaii, Rousing Speech, Slap Silly and Zen Strike are from Mecha & Manga. Trope-tan is very much a team player.
 
The quill is kind of boring as it stands, but hey. Oh, and if you're wondering why she doesn't have any combat style feats it's because she just does [[Flynning]].

Trope-Tan glows, and screams "In the name of this troper, I will justifyingly edit you!". Then, she jumps upwards off the screen, and then random trope names start appearing, and flying across the screen, hurting anyone they come in contact with. Then, Trope-Tan arrives back on-screen.
