Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Fridge Horror: At first glance Lalah's cheerful appearance seems out of place, considering her past is similar to that of another young lady. But then it's revealed that the Flanagan Institute considered her their star student and she was subjected to testing out Newtype weaponry, and later in Chars Counterattack Char reveals he regrets using Lalah like a machine. Adding this together, it begins to sound very similar to a certain girl in Zeta Gundam who was a Newtype guinea pig for weapons and subjected to massive amounts of torture and Mind Rape, while displaying an identical cheerful disposition that seemed off. No wonder Lalah seemed happy after she died.
Let's not forget that, before being taken in by the Flanagan institute, Char found Lalah in the streets. Who knows what kind of life she left back then.
According to the manga adaptation Gundam: The Origin, Lalah was working for an abusive man who forced her to use her power to cheat at the roulette and similar things, and was beaten quite often.
