Line 45:
** Don't threaten the existence of Susan Sto Helit's grandfather (Death), or ''any'' of the children she looks after. Time and space basically don't exist for her (she's canonically Death's successor), she has a magic poker, and she ''will'' show you why it's best not to mess with her reality.
** Tiffany Aching loves her sheep, her family, and her homeland. Don't mess with ''any'' of them.
*** A protective instinct for one's own land and its inhabitants is pretty much standard for Discworld witches - at least the good ones - and Tiffany is so good that {{Spoiler|Granny Weatherwax actually gave her her actual hat.}}
** Never mess with a wizard's [[Nice Hat|hat]]. Even the normally [[Lovable Coward|harmless, cowardly]] Rincewind will go ballistic on you if you touch his hat.
*** One of the few times Rincewind is ever genuinely angry comes in ''[[Interesting Times]]'', when the rebellion decides to play the [[Doomed Moral Victor]] card. To Rincewind, who lives by the rule that you only have one life and everything else is replaceable, this is utterly disgusting, and he lets them have it.
