Basic Trope: A healing specialist who is female and kind-hearted.

Straight: Melody is a kind-hearted priestess and healer who fights with a staff or bow and is contrasted with black wizard Marcy.
Exaggerated: Melody is a complete pacifist who has no attacks at all, only healing spells.
Justified: Personality Powers are a rule of the universe.
- Melody is too weak or unskilled to wield anything heavy and too frail to fight but still wants to help others. She does this by studying healing magic and encouraging her team.
Inverted: The White Magician Girl is an outspoken, Hot Blooded Tsundere who whacks the hero with her staff when she's angry.
- Black Magician Girl
- Melody has White Magician Girl powers, but she's Ax Crazy.
Subverted: Despite her gentle nature, Melody is a powerful Warrior Monk and kung-fu expert.
- Melody is a feminine healer who's the hero's Love Interest...but her gentle exterior hides a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing or even The Mole.
- Melody's gentle and sweet...until something horrible happens to her and she snaps. The emotional turbulence makes her magic dangerous.
Double Subverted: ...and she also happens to be the best healer anyway.
- She discovers that Good Feels Good and decides to make the gentle exterior her interior.
- She recovers from the Heroic BSOD with the Power of Love and friendship.
Gender Flipped: Melody, a Hot Chick With a Sword, is accompanied by Christopher, a Non Action Guy with Healing Hands who she allows to come because he can heal and she can't.
Parodied: The White Magician Girl is an obnoxious and petty person who constantly bludgeon people with her staff and then heal them just because they annoy her. And she's easily annoyed. But people fawn over her anyway, because she's an avatar of a goddess of healing. Who is also a jerk to other gods.
Deconstructed: To be a White Magician Girl, one need to endure a lot of both physical and mental training. It's not easy to act calm and heal people in the middle of battle. Few people endured this training, and those that do are almost always Stepford Smiler.
- Melody would much rather have taken a more physical role, but because of her society's limited roles for women White Magician Girl is the only way she's allowed to participate at all. She's bitter about this, and it interferes with the calm and compassion required for the job.
Reconstructed: But the White Magician Girl for your party is still an honestly gentle and caring person.
- Melody realize that her role is one of the (if not the) most important on the battlefield, and she changes society by using this fact to her advantage.
Zig Zagged: When Melody first appear, she's a to-the-trope White Magician Girl. And then after a story event, she become a Black Magician Girl who spams Meteor Shower. But wait! Her healing spells are still the best amongst the party members, and using it is more practical to win battles than Meteor Shower. And then after another story event, her magic goes away and she is forced to fight physically just like anyone else... but then, she is still one of the better healer, and a kind person.
Averted: The sole healer in the party is Albrecht the Paladin, who uses a sword and is noticeably male.
- Melody has healing powers... and is the main character who can be quite the rude and curse spewing Badass.
Enforced: "Without someone who is dedicated to heal him, The Hero of this story won't stand a chance against those heavy-hitting monsters. While we're at it let's make her his Love Interest for the Periphery Demographic. "
Lampshaded: "No, please, have mercy on m...wait, you're a female, and you're carrying a big stick? False alarm, guys, she's just a healer. She's not gonna kill us!"
Invoked: Bob the Hero romances Melody so that she will stay with him. Level Up At Intimacy 5 ensued.
Defied: Heal Thyself
Discussed: The Hero asks the White Magician Girl about her choice of weapon, leading her to explain the reasons for herself.
Conversed: "Ever notice how in these RPGs, there's usually that meek and gentle healer girl who ends up with The Hero?"
