The TV Tropes meme (again)
That's right, once again: Post your character's tropes! Then other people can reply with suggestions! Or don't even wait for the prompt! Go absolutely sligshit! What do I care! It's not like I have any control over the raging mass of stymied adolescent emotions I c-
I mean uh have fun with the meme.
I mean uh have fun with the meme.
Sheeana and the Bene Gesserit in general
Is this in relation to prescience, due to being a descendant of Siona.
Black and Grey Morality (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlackAndGrayMorality)
And how!
Charles Atlas Superpower (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CharlesAtlasSuperpower)
Bene Gesserit training doesn't make you any physically stronger than regular martial arts training. It does give you a level of control over your bodily functions that should be impossible though.
Dead Guy Junior (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeadGuyJunior)
Invoked with her name's resemblance to that of Siona Atreides' by a priest. Justified, in that she does turn out to be a descendant of hers.
Deus Sex Machina (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeusSexMachina)
Yeah. Not going into detail on this one.
Doomed Home Town (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoomedHomeTown)
Counting the Ohm destroying her home universe, this has happened to her three times, on increasingly larger scales.
Emotions Vs Stoicism (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EmotionsVsStoicism)
The BG in general distrust strong emotions. Her teacher was a "heretic" who believed in love for its own sake, so she's more emotional than most BG. Which isn't saying very much at all.
Flash Step (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FlashStep)
Part of the Weirding Way
Gender Restricted Ability (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GenderRestrictedAbility)
BG training is usually not given to men.
Genetic Memory (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GeneticMemory)
"Other Memory" is literally this.
Klatchian Coffee (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KlatchianCoffee)
Spice can do this
Living Lie Detector (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LivingLieDetector)
Truthsense
Nakama (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Nakama)
The Bene Gesserit spend a long time denying that they are this to each other. She seems to have come down on the "yes we are" side of the argument.
Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions)
Subverted so hard. It's fifteen thousand years in the future and Sheeana becoming a messiah figure is still very much a viable idea.
Parental Incest (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ParentalIncest)
Her only canonical crush is on a clone of her many times great grandfather
Parental Substitute (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ParentalSubstitute)
Darwi Odrade may have been this.
Ragtag Bunch of Misfits (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RagtagBunchOfMisfits)
Stacy's Bene Gesserit seem to be all the order's misfits. Their two new acolytes aren't exactly normal either.
Really Gets Around (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReallyGetsAround)
Not explaining this one either except to say it's part of her job. She doesn't exactly find it a chore though...
School of Sedution (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SchoolOfSeduction)
Part of BG training...
Stalker with a Test Tube (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StalkerWithATestTube)
...often to aid in this.
Sandworms (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SandWorm) (yes, they're their own trope)
Sand is Water (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SandIsWater)
She often thinks this way, due to her Fremen upbringing
The Messiah (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheMessiah)
Narrowly avoids having to be this
Xanatos Gambit (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/XanatosGambit)
She is the heir to a truly epic one, spanning thousands of years. Also to a lesser extent did this during the Holiday mission in the Middle East.
Re: Sheeana and the Bene Gesserit in general
A rare in-universe example, with her penchant for making disturbing sculptures.
