Lita (born Amy Christine Dumas) is a professional wrestler that has worked in WWE and (for a small time) Extreme Championship Wrestling. She got her start managing the Hardy Boyz and eventually used that to branch into a singles career where she took female wrestling by storm with her high-flying wrestling. She also gave Edge the biggest push of his career by cheating on Matt Hardy with him.
Currently, Lita is one of the band members of The Luchagores.
Lita provides examples of the following tropes:
- Absolute Cleavage: When she turned heel, more and more of her outfits displayed this.
- Action Girlfriend/Dark Action Girl: Action Girlfriend as a valet, but she went solo she became a loner badass.
- Arch Enemy: Trish Stratus. Subverted as of Raw's 15th anniversary.
- Back-to-Back Badasses: When she and Trish teamed together in 2003.
- Battle Strip: She once ripped her shirt off before performing her Finishing Move.
- To make it even more humiliating for her opponents, it was a Bra and Panties match and she hadn't lost any clothing.
- Breakup Breakout: She was once a valet for Essa Rios.
- Cute Bruiser
- Distaff Counterpart: To Essa Rios, and after splitting from him, the Hardys.
- Evil Redhead/Fiery Redhead
- Face Heel Double Turn: In her feud with Trish she was the face and Trish the heel. They reignited it two years later with the roles reversed.
- Finishing Move: The Litasault and the Twist of Fate, latter of which was turned in for a leg-swinging snap DDT and Edge's Spear.
- Gimmick Matches: Was in the first (and to this day only) women's steel cage match in WWE. Has also been involved in street fights and TLC matches even if she wasn't a participant. And of course she's done a couple of Bra & Panties matches in her time.
- Girl Next Door: When she was with The Hardyz.
- Girl Show Ghetto: One of the examples that broke out of it. She became insanely popular during her rookie year and main evented Raw several times. Her match with Trish Stratus earned a 3.4 in the ratings, falling in line with the show average. She is now fondly remembered along with Trish as most male fans' favourite Divas. According to many other Divas she would receive so many presents from fans at shows she'd have to leave a few of them behind because she wasn't able to carry all of them.
- Girliness Upgrade: When she turned heel.
- Girls Need Role Models: One of the reasons she refused to pose for Playboy is because she was a role model for so many young girls.
- Heroes Want Redheads: Take a look at the amount of Kayfabe love interests she's had.
- I Have the High Ground
- The Ladette: When she was with Edge.
- Love Triangle: Matt Hardy-Lita-Jeff Hardy in late 2001, Matt Hardy-Lita-Kane in 2004, Kane-Lita-Edge in 2005.
- Real Life Writes the Plot: The Matt Hardy-Edge-Lita love triangle in 2005.
- Lovely Angels: With Trish Stratus in 2003 and early 2004.
- Nipple-and-Dimed: Showed some uncensored nipple during her Live Sex Celebration with Edge.
- Official Couple: Her and Matt Hardy. Then her and Edge.
- One of the Boys: Non-Kayfabe, the Two Man Power Trip gave her a beating no less brutal than one they'd deliver to a guy.
- Panty Shot: Her pants during the Attitude Era were rather low slung and displayed her thong.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: When she was going to marry Edge, with Absolute Cleavage to boot.
- She's Got Legs
- Signature Move: Aside from finishers above, the Litacanrana.
- Statuesque Stunner: One of the taller divas.
- "Take That!" Kiss: Trish called Lita the "Walking Kiss of Death" (because Lita appeared on Dark Angel right before it was cancelled), no point for guessing what happened next.
- Hilarious in Hindsight, since a romantic indiscretion is what killed her career.
- The Unfair Sex: Completely, totally, utterly inverted. Matt wasn't seen as impotent because Lita strayed, Edge wasn't condemned because he couldn't say no to a hot woman wanting him, instead she was treated as a Complete Monster, turned heel, and eventually had to retire because of the hatred from the fans.
- Tomboy
- Unkempt Beauty: Most of the time she wore pants and a tank top. Subverted occasionally.
- Wardrobe Malfunction: One of the most bizarre cases ever - she tried to strip her top off and failed.
- Who Wears Short Shorts?: When she returned in 2003 she started wearing these.
- You Go, Girl!: Competed occasionally in various intergender matches and very often got involved in others by performing either a moonsault or Litacanrana on men.
