** Then there was the [[Wrench Wench|Enginseer]] [[Plucky Girl|Felicia Tayber]], who converted a power lifter into [[Power Armor]]. And proceeded to run circles around the orks that had originally kept her as a POW. Did I mention the [[Kill It with Fire|flame thrower]]?
* In ''[[Low Fantasy|Gerfalcon]]'' by Leslie Barringer, [[First Girl Wins|Reine de Quarenal]] is hinted at being this from her first appearance, when she says she'd rather ride about the countryside than sit watching a joust. Her status is confirmed when she's one of a group besieged by bandits in a church tower. While the men stand at the door to repel attempts to break in, Reine is on the upper floor shooting brigands -- and counting aloud when she gets good hits. She took down at least six of them....
** If "six" doesn't sound all that impressive, bear in mind she was shooting through an arrow slit which restricted her field of fire.
