2008 graphic novel by Ross Campbell. ''[[Water Baby]]'' follows a few unusual days in the lives of surfer girls Brody and Louisa. When Brody's surfing days are cut short by a shark making a snack out of her left leg, things could only go uphill, right?
''Wrong.''
Now not only does she have to get used to the simple concept of walking again with a
{{tropelist}}
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Brody. We see both her parents, and they're both distinctly different, but their specific ethnicities are never brought up.
** Actually, her last name is Arakawa which is Japanese so thats probably her dad's race. And its a safe bet her mom is African American, so yeah.
* [[An Arm and
* [[Artificial Limbs]]: Brody's prosthetic leg.
* [[Bald Women]]: Brody shaves her head completely after being discharged from the hospital. May also count as [[Bald of Awesome]].
Line 18 ⟶ 17:
* [[Disabled Means Helpless]]: Mostly [[Averted Trope|averted]]. Brody's still pretty capable with just one leg, and frequently insists on getting around with minimal help, even just a few days after she's lost it.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Chrissie does not take [[Woman Scorned|being turned down]] well.
* [[
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Chrissie's default hairstyle.
* [[The Goggles Do Nothing]]: Chrissie again, with her huge Elton John sunglasses.
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
* [[Overdrawn At the Blood Bank]]: [[Averted Trope|Averted]]. Brody understandably loses a LOT of blood after her leg's been bitten off, but it's still within realism.
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Implied for both Chrissie and Jake.
* [[Shout
* [[Surfer Dude|Surfer Girls]]: Brody and Louisa, though not in the [[Averted Trope|usual way]]. They are literally just [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Instances between Brody and Louisa. Their arguments with each other often quickly degenerate into punching and name-calling.
