Agent Peacock: Difference between revisions

* Lestat: From ''[[The Vampire Chronicles]]'' He's a clothes horse and a huge dandy... but also obviously quite terrifyingly badass.

* Both Silk and Takeshi in the novel ''[[Dark Designs]]'', they're both extremely pretty [[Yaoi Guys]]. Silk has [[Rapunzel Hair|knee length blonde hair]] and long painted nails, and Takeshi is a [[Visual Kei]] dandy. However Silk is a massive womanizer, and Takeshi is a hardcore biker.

* In [[George R. R. Martin]]'s ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', Ser Loras Tyrell, the "Knight of Flowers," is repeatedly described as beautiful and effeminate (he looks very similar to his sister Margaery, who is a paragon of female beauty) He is also one of the best knights in the realm.

* The [[Sharpe]] series gives us Lord Pumphrey.

* Sir Percival Blakeney, Baronet, aka [[The Scarlet Pimpernel (novel)|The Scarlet Pimpernel]]. Dresses to outshine the girls, appears late at balls because he lost his time trying to tie his cravat ''just right'', and generally dismissed as a fop. Has snagged the [[Fiery Redhead|hottest]] [[Heroes Want Redheads|redhead]] in Europe as his wife, and all the ladies fawn over him, his [[Camp]] posturing, and his slender white hands that are dainty enough to pass as a woman's. Also happens to be the ultra-badass secret vigilante who pulls off daring rescues of French aristocrats on a regular, if not daily, basis. Might even be the [[Ur Example]]; also a case of [[Author Appeal]], since he was created by a woman who [[Author Avatar|very obviously]] wanted to be his wife.

* In [[Julian May]]'s ''Saga of the Exiles,'' there's a member of the supporting cast known as Mr Betsy- a transvestite former engineer and Queen Elizabeth the First impersonator (with a goatee). He's also one of the enforcers the Lowlives have to ensure none of them get any ideas about stealing the aircraft they're repairing, quite capable of holding up someone a good ten kilograms heavier than him.

* Magnus Bane, the High Warlock of Brooklyn, from Cassandra Clare's [[Mortal Instruments]] series is this. He features glitter eye shadow, rainbow leather pants, and awsum ass-kicking.

* Lymond, from the [[Lymond Chronicles]] by Dorothy Dunnett has his Peacock moments, including being prettier than all the girls and fatally attractive to everyone he meets, and dressing like an arch-dandy, with exquisite gorgeousness times ten. Subverted in those moments when, in private, he reveals that his real tastes are simple and modest.

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* Cherry from ''[[Footloose (webcomic)|Footloose]]''.

* Tarvek of ''[[Girl Genius]]'' is looking more and more like one of these, particularly when his response to the possibility of Agatha's becoming an [[God Save Us From the Queen|Evil Queen]] is to speculate on how well she'd pull off [[Evil Costume Switch|the outfit]].

* Prince Tramennis from ''[[Erfworld]]'' is a diplomat with flippy hair and male [[Zettai Ryouiki]] (jump boots + plate armor skirt). His dandyish attitude embarrassed his father into trying to push him away from the kingdom for a while. Charlie's idea of [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]] for him has [[Ambiguously Gay|a strong rainbow theme]]. Tramennis is also the recently returned [[Ambadassador]] who ''forged'' the Jetstone Coalition, and a tactical genius able to keep up with [[The Evil Genius|Charlie]] and, perhaps even more impressively, with [[Summon Everyman Hero|Parson A.]] "[[Loophole Abuse|God]] [[Take a Third Option|Mode]]" [[Munchkin|Gotti]].
