Tropedia

  • 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.

Basic Trope: Character's theme music plays during their most awesome moments.

  • Straight: Action Girl Melody has a distinctive theme that kicks into high gear whenever she scores a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
  • Exaggerated: Everyone in Melody's series has a Leitmotif of their own, which plays whenever they do anything at all.
  • Justified: Melody gets her power from a music box which gives Melody strength when it plays.
  • Inverted: Hymn's theme plays whenever she challenges Melody. She always loses.
  • Subverted: Melody's theme starts playing as she charges towards Hymn... but her rival calmly deflects her into the nearest wall.
  • Double Subverted: ...And then, as Hymn gloats over her victory, her own Leitmotif segues into a dramatic remix of Melody's theme as she pulls herself back up and launches another attack.
  • Parodied: Melody's theme plays whenever she does anything... even as simple as making a sandwich. In the most exaggerated fashion possible.

  • Played For Drama: ???
