It's common enough for a love triangle to be between two guys over one girl, instead of the other way around. These two fellows can be sorted into two general character types, one cold and aloof (the Ice), and the other one warm and passionate (the Fire). Almost always a Type 7 Love Triangle that progresses to a Type 4 when the heroine chooses who she loves.

He has an aloof demeanor, and is quiet, calculating, introverted, cultured, sensitive, and calm. He's almost always cast as The Stoic and can be antagonistic to the heroine at first, though he can become a defrosting ice king with the help of the heroine's love. He's often presented as that hot, mysterious bad boy your parents never wanted you to date, and the one you've always wanted to. However, in some cases he's deemed the 'safer' option over the Fire due to coming off as more controlled and level-headed. Subtropes of the Ice include Love Redeems, All Girls Want Bad Boys, Ladykiller in Love (in some cases), Defrosting Ice King, The Snark Knight, Sugar-and-Ice Personality, and Troubled, but Cute.

He's warm, passionate, reckless, and fun loving. He's often the childhood friend the heroine always thought of like a brother. But now... He is all grown up. He's usually the safer bet than the Ice and will offer a more stable life. However, it's not unheard of for the Fire to be cast as the less stable or appropriate choice due to his perceived wildness. Subtropes of the Fire include Just Friends, Dogged Nice Guy, Childhood Friend Romance, and Belligerent Sexual Tension. Note that examples involving two girls to a guy do exist, albeit rarer. Compare with Betty and Veronica and The Gentleman or the Scoundrel. If the two suitors are directly associated with fire and ice in the text, it may overlap with Elemental Motifs. Compare and contrast Fire/Water Juxtaposition (which tends to be more literal than figurative). Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Examples: |
