== Deborah ==
{{quote|
* [[Action Girl]]: She got her job as judge/ruler by acting when the men would not.
* [[Animal Theme Naming]]: Her name means bee.
* [[Brains and Brawn]]: Deborah is the brains to Barak's Brawn; Without her at his side guiding him every step of the way, he wouldn't have gone to war.
* [[Iron Lady]]: She was nearly unstoppable in battle
Line 13 ⟶ 12:
== Yael ==
{{quote|
* [[Guile Hero
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Tent pegs!
* [[More Deadly Than the Male]]: Tricks Sisera into trusting her, lulls him to sleep with warm milk, and then brutally drives a tent stake through his temples.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
== Barak ==
{{quote|
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: His name means "lightning".
* [[Brains and Brawn]]
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
== Gideon ==
{{quote|
* [[Offered the Crown]]: After the big battle he won with only 300 men.
* [[Refusal of the Call]]: Initially was skeptical and wanted God to prove He is who He says he is by "putting out a fleece".
Line 44 ⟶ 43:
== Samson ==
{{quote|
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: His hair.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type V]]
* [[Badass]]
Line 69 ⟶ 68:
* [[MacGuffin]]: His hair. If his head is ever shaved, he loses his strength. This is perhaps a case of divine irony since not getting a haircut is the only Nazirite vow Samson has kept, the other two being not drinking and not touching a dead thing. [[Fridge Brilliance|He lost his strength not because he cut his hair but because he disobeyed God for the last time. He was also drunk when his hair was cut.]]
* [[Messianic Archetype]]: The subversion of the type. His birth is announced by an angel and raised a Nazirite (puritan Hebrew) yet broke its traditions simply because he was the [[Chosen One]], his battles are more like the antics of a super powered college prankster and his motivation to finally beat the Philistines was personal revenge.
* [[Nineties Anti-Hero]]: Well, he sure wasn't [[The Cape (trope)]].
* [[One-Man Army]]
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Kinda. He did smash the two pillars of the Philistine temple, killing over 3000.
