Line 142:
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]
* [[Badass]]: Many of the heros and villains are one variety or another of [[Badass]], including the [[Magical Nanny]] and the [[Little Miss Badass|nine-year-old farm girl]].
** Not related to the trope in question there is also the home village of Eskarina Smith that was named after an ill-behaved donkey, which is also where [https://web.archive.org/web/20120525034119/http://wiki.lspace.org/wiki/Granny_Weatherwax one] of the most [[Badass]] [[Never Mess with Granny|characters]] happens to live.
* [[Badass Normal]]: Besides the non-normal, like the powerful wizards and witches, or the granddaughter of [[Death]], you have major threats like watchman Sam Vimes or living [[Xanatos Gambit]] Havelock Vetinari.
** So threatening are they that the crime rate actually ''drops'' when Vimes leaves the city, since the criminal underworld knows what he'll do if it rises while he's away. Vetinari, on the other hand, is only ever taken by surprise by a dragon and a sourcerer. ''Everything'' else is either a plan of his or the results of one of his plans. The city ''cannot'' function without him.
