Glacier Waif/Playing With

Basic Trope: A character that looks fragile is actually a Mighty Glacier.

• Straight: Alice is a small, skinny girl carrying around a hammer fit for an ogre. She can use it just as effectively as any of the muscle-bound characters in the cast.
• Exaggerated: Alice looks absolutely emaciated, yet she can move around in extremely heavy armor while wielding two BFSes as if she was wearing nothing at all.
• Justified: Alice is granted a superhuman strength by magical forces... at the cost of her graceful agility.
• Inverted: Biggs looks like he is built like a truck... but is really a Fragile Speedster.
• Subverted: Rumor has it that Alice has extreme physical strength, but Alice is first actually seen in combat, she is a Fragile Speedster.
• Double Subverted: Alice was trying out a different fighting style. Her usual fighting style involves heavy armor and a huge battle axe.
• Parodied: She is faced against her opposite self (read: inverted).
• Zig Zagged: Alice is a mode-shifting Jack with a Tank mode among other things.
• Averted: Alice is no stronger than any other girl of her build.
• Enforced: "We need a Loli in this game, but let's make her interesting by giving her ridiculous strength, and slower than the other girls!"
• Lampshaded: "You think you're strong? Alice can go toe-to-toe with a linebacker and not budge an inch!"
• Invoked: ???
• Exploited: ???
• Defied: ???
• Discussed: ???
• Conversed: ???
