Line 1:
{{trope}}
'''Basic Trope''': A cute young character who is much stronger than they look.
* '''Straight''': [[Token Mini-MoeLoli|Miki]] is a cheerful, [[Genki Girl|peppy youngster]] with [[Girlish Pigtails]], infectious laughter and a knack for [[Good Old Fisticuffs]].
* '''Exaggerated''': Miki is an absolutely ''adorable'' little kid who totes around [[Everything's Better Withwith Plushies|a plush]] bunny. She's also a [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]] capable of taking out literal ''giants'' while barely breaking a sweat.
* '''Justified''':
** Miki has [[Super Strength]], and has been learning how to use it ever since her family first recognized her talent.
Line 13:
** Miki's strength come from [[Applied Phlebotinum]].
* '''Double Subverted''': But without the [[Applied Phlebotinum|Phlebotinum]] she's still incredibly strong.
* '''Parodied''': Miki sees [[Godzilla]] and [[I'm Taking Him Home With Me|wants to take him home,]] ''[[I'm Taking Him Home With Me|by picking him up]]'' [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|and taking him home]].
* '''Deconstructed''':
** After seeing Miki's strength, [[Idiot Hero|Agata]] assumes she'll be able to handle [[Harmful to Minors|anything that gets thrown at her]] despite her youth and inexperience. [[The Lancer|Lemina]], on the other hand, isn't so sure, but chafes at having to look after [[Just a Kid|some dumb brat]]. And [[The Smart Guy|Cecil]] sees her fighting ability as [[Troubling Unchildlike Behavior]]...
Line 24:
* '''Zig Zagged''': Miki's fighting ability seems to differ from day to day. One day,she's as strong as most adult fighters,another she's able to take down giants,the next she's just a normal kid,and the day after that she's at adult strength again.
* '''Averted''': Miki is a completely normal kid.
* '''Enforced''': Since [[Token Mini-MoeLoli|Miki]] is very popular among fans, the author decide to give her more screentime. However the story is focus on battle and there is very little room for character without combat skill, so he made her a [[Little Miss Badass]] as well.
* '''Lampshaded''': "How the heck can a little kid punch that hard?! I can't even do that!"
* '''Invoked''': Miki's father groomed her as a fantastic fighter, but also encouraged her interest in 'normal', cutesy things, both to give her a relatively normal childhood and to ensure others might underestimate her.
