Her acting the part of a Proper Lady is more of a mask than anything.
She's a repressed lesbian during a time where any sort of deviation from the norm was social devastation, and Alice has become so self-loathing and so fearful of the idea of ruining her family's image that she has become suicidal. Alice Douglas from Goodbye, My Rose Garden is a pretty young English noblewoman in a story set at the beginning of the twentieth century.while driving around in a Churchill tank! She's a pale-skinned blonde with permed curls and a polite, dignified Proper Lady who loves her tea. She strives to present the look and behavior of an English Rose, despite being Japanese.
In Girls und Panzer, Darjeeling is an invoked example and represents England's national stereotype.For instance, there is demure, fair-haired beauty Eleanor Campbell (complete with I Want My Beloved to Be Happy storyline). Emma: A Victorian Romance, written by self-confessed Anglophile Kaoru Mori, contains some great examples.Real Life examples are unlikely because this trope requires knowledge about the woman's personal relationships with her family and acting for their benefit in society. English Roses from a Fantasy Counterpart Culture and sci-fi futuristic versions are allowed: England might not exist in the setting, but if said land and culture are based on real-life England, associated character tropes may be used as well. Englishness is defined by her origin and family background. If the trope is Played Straight, she must be English. Also compare The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask and the Princess Classic. However, it's rare to find actresses playing these characters in English-language media (foreign productions are obviously another story) from outside the Old Commonwealth (minus Canada).Ĭompare with its sister tropes, Yamato Nadeshiko from Japan, the "Bonne Belle" type of the Southern Belle from southern USA, and Circassian Beauty from the Caucasus. There is no requirement for actresses portraying her to actually be English or even British.
