Sometimes you'll come across a girl, often cute and sweet-looking... but she'll be brandishing some sort of scary weapon at you in a murderous fashion! [[Screams Like a Little Girl|EEEEEK!]] Run for the hills!

Most commonly the weapons are [[Knife Nut|knives]], but other psycho weapons are also common (not only in anime, but increasingly in movies, too), such as [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaws]] or other instruments of pain and destruction.

She's usually also [[Yandere]], or, failing that, [[Cute and Psycho]].

Compare [[Grotesque Cute]], [[Small Girl Big Gun]], [[Glacier Waif]], and [[Ax Crazy]].

{{examples|Examples:}}

== Anime & Manga ==
* ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni]]'' is built off of this trope, to the point where some call it "the Killer-Loli anime". The series features the iconic, [[Ax Crazy]] Ryuugu Rena, a.k.a. "Cleaver Girl". (The weapon, [[Depending On the Writer|depending on who you ask]], is either a cleaver, a hooked machete, or a billhook/cleaver.) The machete is, mostly, used to find cute things. [[Beware the Nice Ones|Mostly]]. The Sonozaki family has an elaborate torture room that is put to good use, while Shion favors her taser. And even Rika wields a large butcher knife at one point. A syringe also makes a few appearances as a weapon, {{spoiler|although it's never actually used for ill -- it's always either an antidote for the show's slow-acting [[Hate Plague]] or a hallucination}} (except for {{spoiler|when one was used to kill Tomitake}}). Rika's weapon of choice, however, seems to be a '''mop''' {{spoiler|, as seen in the Atonement chapter}}. This is even her weapon in Daybreak, a ''fighting'' game. 
* Nina from ''[[Code Geass]]'' starts as the [[Shrinking Violet]] with a crush on Euphemia Li Britannia {{spoiler|and after [[Freak Out|she finds she died]], she puts the 'psycho' back in [[Psycho Lesbian]] by creating a nuclear weapon to kill Zero along with Tokyo}}. After the [[Time Skip]], Turns out  {{spoiler|she suceeds on the second part}}.
* In ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', {{spoiler|Asakura Ryouko wields a knife in a menacing fashion - despite [[Fridge Logic|the fact that she can]] [[Reality Warper|alter reality]] [[Just Hit Him|and could probably make Kyon's head]] [[Your Head Asplode|explode]] [[Just Hit Him|just by thinking about it.]]}}
**  {{spoiler|And she does all this while [[Stepford Smiler|smiling pleasantly]].}}
* In an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37mPoKQijj8 infamous scene] from a chapter of ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'', Osaka thought she'd wake up Yukari-sensei by banging on a frying pan, but since she was half-asleep herself at the time, she took a knife out of the cupboard instead, with the result that Yukari woke up to see a [[Nightmare Fuel Stationattendant|groggy-eyed, knife-wielding Osaka]] standing in the bedroom doorway.
{{quote| '''Yukari''': W-what?<br />
'''Osaka''': Oh, you're awake? I screwed up. }}
** Even funnier in the manga, where she just says "That's too bad." (Referring back to the fact that she's always wanted to try the frying-pan thing, but imagine being in Yukari's position and hearing that...)
*** It's amazing Yukari managed to get any sleep the next night. 
* ''[[The Wallflower|Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge]]'': Because Sunako [[Eerie Pale Skinned Brunette|resembles]] [[The Ring|Sadako]] so closely, it's not surprising how creepy Sunako looks with a knife in her hand. Most of the time it's only there to chop fish with... but it looks creepy nonetheless.
* Every angel (especially the main character) in ''[[Bludgeoning Angel Dokurochan (Light Novel)|Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan]]'' wields a dangerous weapon, usually with extremely violent and gory results.
** The title character Dokuro uses her giant spiked club Excalibolg on Sakura to [[Made of Plasticine|splatter him into tiny bits]]...[[Once an Episode|repeatedly]].
* [[Yandere|Kaede Fuyou]] of ''[[Shuffle]]'' is best known (although it was [[It Was His Sled|originally treated as a spoiler]]) for [[Murder the Hypotenuse|snapping on her love rival]], Asa Shigure, with a boxcutter. {{spoiler|She doesn't succeed}}. It is revealed that she's done this before,  {{spoiler|on the very [[Unlucky Everydude]] she's chasing after, when she thought he was to blame for her mother's death; a part of [[Extreme Doormat|her devotion to Rin]] comes from her guilt over this incident.}}
* Skuld in ''[[Ah My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]'' tends to build these to threaten Keiichi with, from the ubiquitous "Skuld-Bombs", to the home-built ''chainsaw'', "Texas Murder" (Murder-kun in the original). This being played for comedy, [[Amusing Injuries]] are the worst that can happen.
* An extremely unusual instance of this trope occurs in ''[[Trigun]]''. Milly is generally a very large, quiet, cheerful woman. However, when danger looms, she pulls out a ''freaking enormous'' gun from underneath her voluminous cloak.
** Considered it's non-lethal, she can cut loose with unfettered blasting without it ever actually being psycho. But the appearance is there, and certainly cowed a saloon-full of leering thugs in her introduction. Her typically genial smile probably came across as [[Dissonant Serenity]] to them.
** Milly's gun only counts as nonlethal because its mode of damage dealing involves ''high velocity blunt force trauma'' powerful enough to leave targets on the floor in terrifying amounts of agony. Also powerful enough to flip a car.
* Hibana from ''[[Deadman Wonderland]]'' and <s>Renji's</s> her giant whip-sword, as well as all the female Deadman.
* Chachazero from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', a [[Perverse Puppet]] who seems to have been [[Frozen Face|built]] with a constant, innocent smile is somewhere over a foot in height and carries [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v06/c052/15.html a knife] over twice that size.
** Though calling ''that'' "a knife" seems like an understatement, considering the damn thing is longer than she is tall. (She ''does'' actually carry a knife too, one that ''isn't'' bigger than her head... or body.)
* Leena Toros from ''[[Zoids]]'' is the [[Humongous Mecha]] variant. She likes to act cute and sweet, but when her signature ([[The Worf Effect|and often only]])) attack is a [[Macross Missile Massacre]]...
* The [[Yandere]] Belarus from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' is sometimes seen with a knife in her hands...
** Hungary likes to wield a frying pan, but only when she's ''very'' pissed off. 
* {{media|[[Mirai Nikki]].jpg| Gasai Yuno}} from ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'', to go along with her [[Ax Crazy]] [[Yandere]] tendencies. People who get between her and her Yuki-kun have a tendency to ''disappear''. Well, not disappear exactly, more... Be replaced by a mangled corpse and a puddle of blood.
** Ironically, she has ''so many'' psycho weapons that she doesn't have an iconic one.
** She seems most comfortable with knives, but has also demonstrated extreme skill with axes, handguns, and even, on occasion, a grenade.
* [[The Mole|Due]] of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S (Anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S]]''. Weapon of choice? A clawed glove straight out of ''[[A Nightmare On Elm Street]]'' that she [[Finger Lickin Evil|loves to lick bodily fluids off from]].
* Kitsu Chiri from ''[[Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei]]''. Weapon of choice: The knife, switching to a shovel later on (her name is, amongst other things, a pun on the act of burying something).
** There's a couple of instances, like the [[Alternate Universe]] mystery episode and in one Zan episode (the one introducing Oora), in which nearly every girl in the class would qualify.
* Nekoko from ''[[Kannazuki no Miko]]'' attacks with a giant syringe the size of her body. 
* [[Yandere|Senjougahara Hitagi]] from ''[[Bakemonogatari (Light Novel)|Bakemonogatari]]''. Who knew a utility knife and mechanical pencil could be such useful weapons?
** They've got nothing on the stapler, though.
* ''[[Saitama Chainsaw Shoujo (Manga)|Saitama Chainsaw Shoujo]]'' -- Betcha can't guess the main character's [[Weapon of Choice]].
** Also Haruna from ''[[Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka]]''.
* Kokoa of ''[[Rosario to Vampire]] Season 2'' turns a small bat named Kyou into any weapon she feels like having. On the front of the second volume she is seen carrying some kind of saw-sword or [http://animeradius.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Rosario2-2-Cover-.jpg something ].
* Probably every girl in ''[[Kämpfer (Light Novel)|Kämpfer]]'' could quality, but Shizuku (chained daggers), and Akane (single gun) are the most notable.
* There's perhaps an unfortunate lack of female Meisters in ''[[Soul Eater]]'' to wield Psycho Weapons. But we do have Maka Albarn, with her [[Sinister Scythe|scythe]] Weapon Soul Eater. Kim's Weapon Jackie does not ''look'' too dangerous as a lantern. [[Kill It With Fire|Until she starts using her as a flamethrower]]. [[Stuff Blowing Up|Or an explosive at close range]]. The crazed smile on the lantern's side should have been a hint, one thinks. And then there's Patti wielding pistol Liz with potentially deadly enthusiasm.
** And then you have Crona, whose gender hasn't been decided on by the creator. His/Her weapon is quite literally psycho. It's fueled by madness (as it is made of Crona's black blood), and can [[Body Horror|rip out of Crona's back]] into either a muscular humanoid or draconic form. Both of which are anchored to Crona's spine. Yecht.
* The "Princess" in ''[[Princess Resurrection]]'' is seen using a different one of these [[Once an Episode|every single issue]].
* ''[[Black Lagoon]]'': Hansel {{spoiler|and/or Gretel}}, when {{spoiler|the current}} Hansel wields the axe {{spoiler|(Since they switch personas, if one of them is a girl, it'd be this - at the very least, it'd be Cute Boy With Psycho Weapon)}}. Also Sawyer the Cleaner, a cute-looking gothic woman whose weapon of choice is a ''[[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw]]''.
* Rin Kagamine from [[Vocaloid]] owns a giant roadroller that she likes to squish people with.
** And Kiku Juon's Signature items are 2 giant cleavers.
* Many, if not all, of the Otherworld characters in the ''[[Black Rock Shooter]]''-verse uses one of these as their [[Weapon of Choice]]. The list includes Black Gold Saw ([[BFS|King Saw]]), Dead Master ([[Sinister Scythe|Dead Scythe]]), Srength (mechanical gauntlets almost as big as she is)...Even the eponymous character has one in the form of the [[BFG|Rock Cannon]] (As an added bonus, she has a [[Katanas Are Just Better|Katana]] as well).
* Most Pandora in [[Freezing]] special mention goess to Satellizer's Nova Blood a giant razor and Chiffon's Anti-Nova Trial form a giant clawed gauntlet.
* Both Erika Furudo and Bernkastel wield a giant scythe in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|Umineko no Naku Koro Ni]]''. The only difference is that Erika's is blue while Bernkastel's is black, not to mention Beatrice and the 7 Stakes, and the Siestas' unhealthy obsession of [http://www.zerochan.net/335160 arrows] [http://www.zerochan.net/318385 that] [http://www.zerochan.net/78477 never] [http://www.zerochan.net/79414 miss].
* Two examples crop up in ''[[Highschool of the Dead]]'', one playing this fairly straight, one subverting the trope hardcore.
** Saeko Busujima is known to be a kendo expert and had practice later on in the afternoon that the outbreak occurred, so nobody's really surprised at the fact that she's wielding a [[Wooden Sword|bokan]] at the time. It's not until later we learn that she rather...enjoys being able to wield her full strength and skill without remorse or worry, and becomes [[Immodest Orgasm|very excited]] when the main hero gives her a proper sword and effectively tells her to have at it.
** Saya Takagi gets her first kill while cornered in a supply closet, and the only thing she can crab at is a [[This Is a Drill|power drill.]] The subversion is that, while she doesn't hesitate (since she, y'know, doesn't want to get eaten), she has a [[Heroic BSOD|complete breakdown]] over the situation, so the psycho part isn't so much [[Axe Crazy]] as it is post traumatic stress disorder.
* In ''[[Bitter Virgin]]'', Kazuki wields a pair of scissors and on several occasions has attempted to stab Hinako as she sees her stealing Daisuke from her. When Yuzu asks her about said scissors, Kazuki casually replies they are for "protection from perverts". 
* All of these psycho weapon-wielding girls are predated by  {{spoiler|Mariko Shinobu}} from ''[[Oniisama E]]''. When at her lowest for  {{spoiler|her parents's scandalous divorce}}, she finds a boxcutter in her room and almost slits her wrists with it. The next day,  {{spoiler|she takes it to school, and when the [[Alpha Bitch]] Aya mocks her due to her horrible family situation, Mariko [[Freak Out|snaps so badly]] that she ''slashes Aya's arms, clothes and back with the cutter''.}} These events  {{spoiler|get Mariko kicked out of the Sorority... and start the "rolling snow ball" that concludes with the dissolution of said Sorority.}}
* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Anime)|Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'': Kyouko's huge [[Blade On a Stick|spear]], Mami's Tiro Finale.
* [[Fairy Tail|Erza]] in her flashback wielding [[Dual Wield|two]] [[BFS|BFSES]].
* Tenten in ''[[Naruto]]'' with her temporary Jidanda: one oversized [[Spike Balls of Doom|Spiky Ball of Doom]].
* [[Blood Plus|Sa]][[Blood-C|ya]]'s Katana.
* [[Pokémon (Anime)|Pokémon]]: Jessie likes that bazooka of hers a little ''too'' much...
* ''[[Durarara]]'' gives us a literal example: {{spoiler|the mostly-stable Sonohara Anri wields Saika, a demonic sword which is itself quite insane}}.
* In ''[[Cube X Cursed X Curious]]'' the girls ARE the weapons and some are not particulary stable.


== Film ==
* [[Quentin Tarantino]] wrote one of these girls (Gogo Yubari) into ''[[Kill Bill]]''. She used a wakizashi on a perverted salaryman with very gory results and battled the Bride with a saw-bladed meteor hammer.
* Fans of Takashi Miike's work may remember a little film named ''[[Audition]]''. Asami Yamazaki is gentle and soft-spoken - but what she does with razor wire and acupuncture needles in the last twenty minutes will make even the most hardened horror fan cringe. The appearance of a previous boyfriend in a dream sequence shortly before gives some idea of [[Yandere|what she will do to prevent her lovers from leaving her]].
* At the end of ''[[Serenity (Film)|Serenity]]'', {{spoiler|River uses a sword and axe taken from the Reavers to wipe out every Reaver in a hallway during the battle on Mr. Universe's moon}}.
* The Japanese revenge-porn movie ''[[The Machine Girl (Film)|The Machine Girl]]'' is built entirely on this trope; Ami, the title character, is an adorable Japanese schoolgirl with a comically oversized machine gun fitted over the stub of her severed left hand. Before the injury, she wielded a kama sickle.
* In ''[[High Tension]]'', when the protagonist Marie's best friend Alex is abducted by a depraved serial killer, Marie fights psycho with psycho by wielding a butcher knife, a club wrapped in barbed wire, and even a ''circular saw'' in her efforts to get her friend back. In fact the saw is an industrial concrete/steel saw, a tool that can be used to cut through reinforced walls. You could probably take on the [[Terminator]] with one of those things.
* The quiet female protagonist gets this way when she and her grandfather are terrorized in the movie ''[[Axe (Film)|Axe]]''.
* The entire point of ''Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers''.
* [[Ellen Page]] dons [[Wolverine Claws]] in ''[[Super (Film)|Super]]''.


== Literature ==
* Yamasaki Asami, the psychotic serial killer from author Ryu Murakami's book ''Audition'', on which the Takashi Miike movie above is based, fits this trope to a T. Not only does she paralyze her victims using a syringe injected straight into the skin under the tongue, but she removes a man's foot with a wire saw and would have gotten the other foot too if she  {{spoiler|hadn't been killed}}.
* ''[[Rats Bats and Vats (Literature)|Rats Bats and Vats]]'' does this as part of {{spoiler|the [[Spoiled Brat]] [[Meaningful Name|Virginia "Ginny" Shaw's]]}} [[Incredibly Lame Pun|getting]] [[Chainsaw Good|better]].
* [[The Grim Reaper|Death]]'s adopted daughter in ''[[Discworld (Literature)/The Light Fantastic|The Light Fantastic]]'':
{{quote| Ysabell was standing in the archway, smiling faintly. She held a scythe in one hand, a scythe with a blade of proverbial sharpness. Rincewind tried not to look down at his blue lifeline; a girl holding a scythe shouldn't smile in that unpleasant, knowing and slightly deranged way.}}
** In later [[Discworld]] books, her daughter Susan has much the same effect, despite being [[Only Sane Man|decidedly un-deranged]]. She does still have a [[Sinister Scythe]], after all, and there's something ''more'' chilling about her variety of sanity.
** Of course, due to the level of [[Retcon]] in the early Discworld books, when we properly meet Ysabell in [[Discworld (Literature)/Mort|Mort]], just ''two books later'', she's a perfectly normal (normal enough, anyway) girl, albeit a bit spoiled.
* Mitsuko Souma in ''[[Battle Royale]]'' uses a ''kama'' (Japanese sickle) as her signature weapon in all three versions of the story. 
* In the story ''[[Dark Red Mind]]'', the [[No Fourth Wall|fourth wall]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|cutting]] Kaitlyn Wernher is a slight example of this trope. Upon first glance, she just seems like an exceptionally cheery twenty year old woman. But it's all a mask. Mentally, she's severely crazy, completely insane and totally fucking bonkers. As for her weapon, she doesn't need one. Her superhuman power is ''cutting. She can fucking split anything she looks at in half.''


== Tabletop RPG ==
* In ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'', the Sisters of Battle ([[Amazon Brigade|an entire army]] of [[Church Militant|Nuns With Guns]]) feature large numbers of women carrying [[Kill It With Fire|gigantic flame-throwers]], [[BFG|fully automatic armour-piercing rocket-propelled-grenade launchers]], and [[Energy Weapon|guns which melt tanks]]...as a basic troops choice, but this being ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'', this is nothing to raise a brow at. The true psycho-weapon carriers are Sisters Repentia, entire squads of women wearing three strategically-placed scraps of parchment and carrying ''[[BFS|eight-foot-long]] [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw swords]]'', driven on by an armoured woman with a barbed cat-o-nine-tails in each hand.
* While women carrying big, scary looking weapons is fairly common in ''[[Exalted]]'', the [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Maiden of the Mirthless Smile]] is probably the one with most of this.


== Theatre ==
* In ''[[Ruddigore]]'', when Robin, as Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd, has kidnapped Dame Hannah, she draws a small dagger to defend herself with, but what makes him cringe in terror is when seizes a much larger dagger from an armored figure and tosses the smaller one to him.
{{quote| "Now then, it's one to one, and let the best man win!"}}


== Video Games ==
* ''[[Champions Online (Video Game)|Champions Online]]'' has the [[Creepy Twins|Harajuku Twins]]: [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] Rin wields a truely [[Sinister Scythe]] with a bat-wing-shaped blade ''in one hand'' and [[Genki Girl]] Shizuko carries a [[Gatling Good|gatling]] [[Small Girl Big Gun|gun]] with a teddy bear sitting on the barrel/s.
** Oh, and the two are good girls! They aid players in battle for one hour, after being summoned with a certain "henchman device". Buying that device also unlocks their weapons.
* "Conclusion of Blood," the bad ending from the [[Visual Novel]] ''[[School Days (Visual Novel)|School Days]]'' involves {{spoiler|[[Yandere|Kotonoha Katsura]] using a saw as a murder weapon}}, and so does {{spoiler|the anime ending}}.
* Aversion: [[Dragon Age (Video Game)|Dragon Age]] has [[Jeanne D Archetype|Leliana]], a heroic equivalent who first shows up trying to talk down the bad guys while dressed in the robes of a priestess (I may add that no priestess has been seen so far in the game with any sort of lethal weapon) and jumps in on your side with a long knife when things go south.
** Played almost straight in ''[[Dragon Age II (Video Game)|Dragon Age II]]'' with [[The Chick|Merrill]]. While only carrying a simple staff of any kind, she is a [[Blood Magic|Blood Mage]] who works together with demons, which in the world of Thedas is considered the second highest kind of evil abomination, only surpassed by mages that have become permanently possessed by demons.
** Female elven warrior Warden. [[BFS|Two-handed broadsword]]. [[Beware the Nice Ones|Run]].
* The eponymous character from ''[[American McGee's Alice]]'' slices and dices everyone and everything with her wicked kitchen knife. Until she needs to kill faster and more efficiently, that is. This is a literal psycho example, since she's really [[Cuckoo Nest|locked up in an insane asylum]] and all this is [[Journey to The Center of The Mind|a battle for her sanity]].
* In ''[[Heavenly Sword]]'', the supporting heroine, Kai, is an adorable girl who seems not all there in the head. She wields some sort of [[Automatic Crossbows|giant reloading crossbow]]. She also won't hesitate to threaten an enemy's '[[Groin Attack|weak point]]' for 'massive damage'.
* ''[[Touhou]]'' character [[Knife Nut|Sakuya]] [[Ninja Maid|Izayoi]] seems to be this, to an extent.
** [[Sinister Scythe|Elly and Komachi]] also fit the trope.
*** [[Ax Crazy|Flandre]] [[Japanese Vampire|Scarlet]] fits as well, because she is actually a [[Little Miss Badass|little girl]] wielding [[BFS|Laeva]][[Energy Weapon|tein]].
* In ''[[Yume Nikki]]'', Madotsuki can use a kitchen knife, which causes some characters to move away from her if equipped, and is only effective against characters are harmless anyway (Uboa can't be stabbed, and the Toriningen take multiple hits, and will almost certainly get you first). She has 24 effects/items that she can use in total, but judging by the [[Fan Art]], the knife is easily the most remembered.
** Most <s>protagonists</s> player characters in [[Yume Nikki]] fangames. Urotsuki from Yume 2kki in particular uses a [[Chainsaw Good|CHAINSAW]], and other ones use [[Bigger Stick|a pipe, a club with nails in it]], [[An Axe to Grind|an axe]], and more. 
* Baby Bonnie Hood from ''[[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Darkstalkers]]'', who is modeled after Red Riding Hood, has a whole arsenal of weapons in her basket (which she also uses as a weapon).
* [[Disgaea 3|Sapphire and her chainsaw]]. Played for laughs in one of the funniest moments of the third game.
** She's also proficient with [[Ax Crazy|axes]].
* Tira from [[Soul Calibur]] uses a weapon that's crazy in itself, being a bladed hula hoop sort of thing.
* Each Little Sister in the ''[[Bio Shock]]'' games wields an ADAM-harvesting syringe as big as herself - but the real danger comes from the [[Robot Buddy|Big Daddy]] that protects her.
* Krusche Elendia of [[Ar Tonelico]] isn't a psycho per se, but being a [[Wrench Wench]] as she is, her weapon of choice is a chainsaw.
* Alfimi from ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' is an adorable [[Emotionless Girl]] who pilots <s>a [[Humongous Mecha]]</s> an [[Eldritch Abomination]] styled after a Japanese demon wielding a katana. In her ultimate attack, she smiles cheerfully while impaling the enemy and wiggling the sword inside the wound, which is even more disturbing when she does it in ''[[Endless Frontier|Endless Frontier EXCEED]]'' without her mecha.
* The Bella Sisters in ''[[Resident Evil 4]]''. Imagine the earlier [[Chainsaw Good|Dr.]] [[That One Boss|Salvador]] fight, but with [[Distaff Counterpart|female]] Spanish [[Meido|maids]]. As in ''plural''. Something of a subversion as ''male'' Ganado aren't any ''less'' [[Ax Crazy]] than the females.
* [[Cute Witch]] Evie from ''[[Vindictus]]'' gains the ability to wield an increasingly large, elaborate, and frightening-looking [[Sinister Scythe]] (some versions of which are larger than she is).
* Lady in [[Devil May Cry|Devil May Cry 3]] sports the "Kalina Ann," a modified [[BFG|rocket launcher]] that is topped off with a bayonet.
* [[Older Than They Look|Presea]] [[Emotionless Girl|Combatir]] of [[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]] fame wields a [[An Axe to Grind|battleaxe]].
* ''[[Dark Souls (Video Game)|Dark Souls]]'' has [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Maneater Mildred]] who suddenly attacks the player with a giant meat cleaver.


== Webcomics ==
* Little Red Riding Hood from ''[[Ever After (Webcomic)|Ever After]]'' uses a saw (the second little pig's, given to her by the surviving one) as her signature weapon.
** ''Another'' Red, this time from ''[[No Rest for The Wicked (Webcomic)|No Rest for The Wicked]]'', wields a psycho weapon - an Axe, and is one of the more psychologically unstable characters in the series.
* Mell Kelly of ''[[Narbonic]]'' has an ''alarming'' tendency to get her hands on such weapons, which, coupled with [[Heroic Sociopath|her nature]], makes her one of the scarier ([[Rule of Funny|in a funny way]]) characters of the series.
* Oasis from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' is a very sweet girl until something comes between her and Torg or she spots a Hereti Corp employee. Then the knives come out.
** At one point, however, {{spoiler|Torg makes her agree}} not to use violence anymore, so while she'll still attack Hereti-Corp employees when Override B-1 kicks in, she won't arm herself beforehand while she's lucid, resulting in the use of pencils (and notably a laser cannon she's been told is "the biggest Sharpie they make") as Psycho Weapons. It is AWESOME.
* Lily from ''[[After Lily]]'' wields her psycho weapon (a knife) as early as page [http://www.drunkduck.com/After_Lily/index.php?p=421878 4] with very... bloody results.
* Kanaya (grimAuxiliatrix) from ''[[Homestuck]]'' wields a chainsaw.  {{spoiler|And is perfecty fine with using it to CUT OFF TAVROS' LEGS WHILE HE'S SLEEPING.}}
** Arguably a subversion, in that she's much more therapist than psycho, to the extent that she's the trolls' [[Team Mom]] if not the [[Only Sane Manthe|most level-headed of them all]]. Which may not be saying much. [[All Trolls Are Different|Trolls sure are weird]].  {{spoiler|She did have [[Back Alley Doctor|a pretty good reason]] for cutting off Tavros's legs.}}
*** And then it's [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005434 played straight]. (Her victim does have it coming.)
** Subverted also in that, in a [[Mythology Gag]] reference to [[Problem Sleuth]], the chainsaw often turns into a tube of lipstick.  {{spoiler|1=And then double subverted when she [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005441 coolly applies] the lipstick, which is still covered in her chainsaw victim's blood.}} 


== Web Original ==
* Not just girls, but ''[[Protectors of the Plot Continuum]]'' Agents in general, tend to be unbalanced. They also tend to have a thing for [[BFS|pointy objects]], [[BFG|BFG's]], [[Kill It With Fire|flamethrowers]], and [[Death Ray|Death Rays]]. 
* Don't piss [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]] off. Lord [[MacGuffin]] learned this when she pointed a gun at him, and Lupa nearly got stabbed in the chest because she had Todd's "[[Stalker With a Crush|affections]]".
* Jade Sinclair (Generator) of the [[Whateley Universe]] ''loves'' this trope. There's her cabbit... that turns into a [[Killer Rabbit]] and once slaughtered around a dozen badguys in one fight. There's her Hello Kitty compact, which flies... and knives pop out of the sides to become a sinning top of doom. There's 'Spinner', which is basically a lawnmower blade spinning at high speed without the lawnmower engine or housing getting in the way. There's the big athame that she turned into a spinning blade. The railroad spikes. The bear trap. There's a reason she's on the page for [[Crazy Awesome]].
* [[OS-tan|Windows 98 SE-tan]] aka "Secchan" is usually depicted with a ''can opener'' which she uses to [[Does Not Like Men|castrate all men.]]


== Western Animation ==
* [[Creepy Child|Clare]] from [[Titan Maximum]] wields a serrated [[BFS]] made of aggregated diamond nanorods. <ref>Aggregated diamond nanorods are a real substance.</ref>
