Instead, somebody swapped the real thing for a fake. * Double Subverted: Instead of transforming back, she transforms into another form, which she get's stuck. * Parodied: Alice gets stuck as a Catgirl. She wangsts about this. * Deconstructed: This becomes a major blow to Alice's reputation. She never lives it down. * Reconstructed: Alternatively, She grows fond of her new form. * Zig Zagged: ??? * Averted: Alice is never locked into one form. * There are no shapeshifters portrayed. * Enforced: The writers decided that shapeshifting powers were too much of a Game Breaker, so decided to lock the shapeshifter in one form. * Lampshaded: "My mom told me my face would freeze like this." * Invoked: Alice creates a Power Limiter to keep her from shapeshifting out of control. * Exploited: ??? * Defied: ??? * Discussed: "Why can't you change back?" * Conversed: "That must be so inconvenient to be stuck in one form like that." * Played For Laughs: Alice is stuck in her werecat form, but she decides to continue living her normal life as a high school student. Unfortunately her appearance causes panic everywhere she goes and makes it difficult for her to accomplish mundane tasks. * Played For Drama: Alice is stuck in her werecat form. She goes into hiding, afraid that her friends won't accept her anymore. Back to Shapeshifter Mode Lock
