IN WHICH I KILL ALL PRODUCTIVITY FOR A NIGHT
So I had this idea in chat and---*thwap*---it's positively evil.
Your guide? TVTropes, the site that will soon ruin your life if it hasn't already done so several times over.Not that I've ever had twenty trope tabs open, no siree!
Your mission? List every trope that you know of that applies to your character!
If you're playing a canon character, you've got it relatively easy. Your canon probably has its own page and some tropes for your character listed for you already. If you're playing an OC from a canon, that canon's tropes should be helpful. And then there's the obvious ones like werewolf tropes or vampire tropes you can easily find with a search.
And if all that doesn't help you? HIT THE RANDOMIZER OVER AND OVER. Soon you'll find something that sorta fits, which leads to something that totally fits, that leads to more things that fit, until you're lost in a pothole maze of tropes. It's fun.
Go go go!

Are You My Mummy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AreYouMyMummy) - Lafiel is teased by her father about the identity of her mother, even going so far as to convince her (as a child) that she was descended from the family cat. Later, Lafiel proudly reveals to Jinto that Captain Lexshu is her other parent,as the scene switches back to her mother's death in battle.
Dissonant Serenity (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DissonantSerenity) (Lafiel when she kills Baron Febdash)
First Name Basis (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FirstNameBasis) (before podpopping only allowed Jinnto)
Mayfly December Romance (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MayflyDecemberRomance) - Abh live much longer than landers, meaning that Lafiel is painfully aware that she's going to outlive Jinto.
Our Elves Are Better (<a)-Abriels all have elfine ears. Combined with the general
Abh tendency towards slight builds and prettiness, they're basically high space elves.
Overly Long Name - Abriel Nei Dobrusc Paryunh Lafiel. Applies to all Abhs. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/overlylongname)
Rebellious Princess (<a) (well more desperate-to-prove-self princess)
The Stoic (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/thestoic)
Tsundere (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/tsundere) (Type A. And how!)
You Gotta Have Blue Hair (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/yougottahavebluehair) - The Abh take this very seriously: unnatural-looking hair in colors ranging from blue to purple or even green are a required genetic trait for newborn members of their race.
