Line 266:
* Mazzy Fentan of ''[[Baldur's Gate]] II'' is a halfling paladin in an [[Dungeons & Dragons|edition that doesn't let halflings be paladins]]. Statistically she's a fighter with some extra spells, but the [[Honor Before Reason|behavior]] is all there. Voiced by Jennifer Hale, she manages to be tiny and adorable yet classy and honorable at the same time. Oh, and more or less a living buzzsaw through the forces of evil.
* Alena, the [[Rebellious Princess]] from ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. While she's very limited in what weapons and armor she can use, Alena's physical strength and critical hit rate are so much higher than the other party members' that it doesn't really matter. Especially once you equip her with a female-exclusive weapon that lets her attack twice per round. She also largely makes up for her limited armor options by having the highest evade rate. Basically, [[My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours|her kung fu is stronger than yours]].
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"|KrilKrile/Cara/Kururu]] from ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' can fit this trope, especially if you give her physically -oriented jobs.
* While 10-year old Relm Arrowny may not be a great physical fighter, many believe she is the most powerful pure mage in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''. This, in stark contrast to her grandfather, thewho is a [[Power Copying|Blue Mage]], and the ''half-Esper Terra'' Terra, means that game balance might be [[Fridge Logic]] retardant.
* As a counterpart to the [[Stripperific|supposedly]] [[Lady of War|elegant, graceful and druidic]] Viera, ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics A2]]'' introduced the Gria, a race of dragon girls who focused on speed and raw power, wielding swords and [[BFS|greatswords]] as well as bows and hammers.
** The Moogle Knight class is a male example - sword-wielding brawlers of a [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|cute fuzzy race]] whose other classes tend towards the [[Fragile Speedster]] and [[Squishy Wizard]] archetypes.
* [[Final Fantasy Type-0|Cinque]] is a cute flower of a girl carrying a ''humongous'' mace around, and takes pleasure in swinging it all around without a care.
* In ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy|Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy]]'', [[Final Fantasy XI|Prishe]] is the [[Token Mini-Moe]], a young [[Bare-Fisted Monk]] with [[Frills of Justice]] and purple hair. Her punch combos, particularly One-Inch Punch and Howling Fist, are incredibly powerful, those two in particular can crush guards and deflecting attacks when charged up, and her ability to link two attacks together gives her impressive power. For example, her Dragon Kick to One Inch Punch link has a base power of 25-35 if both attacks are charged up, making it one of ''the'' most powerful combos in the game.
* Kaen from ''[[Kakurenbo Battle Monster Tactics]]'' is a confident female monster hunter whose element is fire.
Line 329 ⟶ 330:
* Milliarde of ''[[Baten Kaitos]] Origins'' is the sheltered daughter of an Alfard nobleman. She's seventeen years old, wears a cute dress, and has butterfly wings. In battle, she dual wields giant spiked clubs and sounds a little too ''happy'', as well as serving as the party's [[Mighty Glacier]].
* Cecille in ''[[Suikoden]] III''. Cute as a button teen girl who's shorter than even Thomas (and Thomas is a shrimp, by his own admission). She also patrols Budehuc Castle all day ''in full plate armor'', wielding a spear ''larger than she is'' and a buckler, and trains every morning by ''running two miles'' in said plate armor. Her exclusive War Horse rune is also one of the most damaging attacks in the game, although it has low accuracy.
