She's usually also [[Yandere]], or, failing that, [[Cute and Psycho]].
 
Compare [[Grotesque Cute]], [[Small Girl, Big Gun]], [[Glacier Waif]], and [[Ax Crazy]].

Line 24:
* 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 StationattendantStation Attendant|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.
Line 46:
** 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.
Line 112:
 
== 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}}.
