Sara from Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch does this with a white hood.The members of the Black Valley in Mai-Otome wear these once it's revealed they're not evil, it gets lampshaded when there's a little girl in the group, wearing a cloak and a hood and a pink bow over the hood.Androssi, Akryung and Rachel during their introduction in Tower of God.Zest and Lutecia of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha wear these occasionally, removing them when they go into battle.This can be a Justified Trope if in a Wretched Hive or Bad Guy Bar where this is a perfectly acceptable fashion accessory.Ĭontrast with the Cool Masks worn by superheroes, which disguise them by making them look more conspicuous. Video game designers of older days liked the trope because throwing an all concealing hood (or suitable replacement) over an unimportant or 'mysterious' character meant that they could skip on actually animating the character's speech. Even more besides, no one has peripheral vision anyway. Yes, wearing a hood during a fight isn't a good idea because it constricts your peripheral vision, but who cares as long as it looks cool? Besides, being mysterious is Badass. In modern times, a hoodie is a good substitute. In addition, the hood will never fall off accidentally, even if the wearer is fighting a Wind Mage in the middle of a typhoon. Its hood will cover their face in shadow, regardless of whether it's long enough to actually do so. Because nothing diverts attention away from oneself better than a big creepy black cloak that makes you look like The Grim Reaper. Their solution? Wear a Black Cloak with a really big hood. Somebody needs to disguise their identity and/or avoid attracting attention. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. 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. 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.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. 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.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed.
