Line 25:
* Another male example would be Sosuke Sagara of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]''
* And a third would be [[Vision of Escaflowne|Van Fanel]]
* Moka in ''[[Rosario
* ''[[Burst Angel]]'' started out like this, but then the apparent "main character" was [[Put on a Bus]]...
* Shinku in ''[[Rozen Maiden]]'', although she's a doll.
Line 31:
* Oliva Soldana in ''Destiny's Hand''.
* Ennis in ''[[Baccano]]!''. Granted, Firo's life was [[The Mafia|pretty interesting]] before the life-changing encounter. but the addition of [[Immortality]] and alchemy is still pretty sweet.
* [[Mirai Nikki]] certainly has fun with this trope. Almost immediately after stumbling into {{spoiler|The Game}}, Yukiteru encounters Yuno Gasai, a beautiful girl in his class who makes it her top priority to protect him from harm ([[Action Girl|and does pretty damn well, to boot]]). The catch? She's [[Yandere (disambiguation)|batshit]] [[Stalker with a Crush|frickin']] ''[[Ax Crazy|insane]]'', and at even her most "sane" moments likes to break into his house or send him hundreds of emails over the course of an hour.
* Makina of ''[[Shikabane Hime]]'', though Ouri does [[Take a Level In Badass]] in series 2.
* Kagura in ''[[Ga-Rei]]''.
Line 79:
* ''[[Farscape]]''. Aeryn Sun, with John Crichton as the ordinary guy, at least until he [[Took a Level In Badass]]/Craziness.
* [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]], to whoever dates her, whether he's a sensitive poet, a super-tough soldier, or even a master vampire.
* ''[[Firefly]]'' has tough soldier Zoe married to sensitive pilot Wash.
* {{spoiler|The younger version of Mary Winchester}} from ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' would count as this trope, since it was revealed that {{spoiler|she used to be a hunter herself even before John had learned about the existence of monsters and demons.}}
* When Sura was being attacked and [[Spartacus]] shows up and starts killing her attackers, does she run and hide? Hell no! She picks up a sword and kills one herself!
Line 86:
== Video Games ==
* Tengaar from ''[[Suikoden I]]''. She and her boyfriend Hix live in a town with a very rich warrior culture. [[Non-Action Guy|He doesn't like fighting]], but she's more than determined to "make a man out of him".
* [[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice|Princess Sapphire]]. Although Almaz is certainly no slouch in combat ability, its clearly obvious that Sapphire is the stronger warrior. It should be noted however that Sapphire's primary affinity (based on stats and evilities) is towards ranged combat while Almaz is a close combat fighter.
* Elaine Marley is this to Guybrush Threepwood in [[Monkey Island]]. Still, Guybrush is pretty competent in [[You Fight Like a Cow|Insult-related duels]], but as an [[Adventure Game]] protagonist relies more on his wits.
* [[Akai Ito|Hatou]] [[Supernaturally Delicious and Nutritious|Kei's]] [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|girlfriend]] does all the fighting for her.
