* Engaged in her life's work, [[Lampshade Hanging|pointing things out]].

* Is a [[Pettanko]], but suffers from [[A Cup Angst]] because she's been led to think [[Buxom Is Better]].

* Also, [[Will They or Won't They|may 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:The 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.]]

** 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]] is one. [[Black Magician Girl-tan]] is another.

Line 55:

** That's a remnant from her time as the Ego in a [[Power 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]].

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, [[~~Names~~ the Same|Tropey]]," she said absently, "How did it come to this?

She fingered the ring on the chain around her neck for a minute, [[Expospeak|before resuming her story]].

Line 166:

"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]]."
