Line 96:
* [[Hot Amazon]]: many, including actual Amazons.
* [[Hot Librarian]]: Kahn, librarian of the Library of Time.
* [[Hot Mom]]: Julia; {{spoiler|later Brittany}}
** When Julia {{spoiler|accidentally rejuvenated her body from 50 years old to 30}}, her husband noticed ''something'' was different, but had to use magic to tell ''how'' different it was, because she {{spoiler|hadn't looked all that much older at 50}}.
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Gina and Penny.
* [[Humanity Ensues]]: Fauntleroy is a dragon cursed to stay in human form. When he finally finds the [[MacGuffin]] he needs to return to dragon form, he decides to wait and [[Humans Are Special|see if there's more he can learn from being human]].
* [[I Call It Vera]]: One [[Word of God|author's note]] commented, "Yes, all of Brianna's weapons have first names... Got a prob' wit dat?"
* [[I Want Grandkids]]: The ghost of Britanny's birth-mother showed up in one issue. She passed on some useful information, but one of the first things she said was how suited Britanny's hips would be to producing '''lots and lots''' of children. Asking again ... twice ... for numerous grandchildren was the '''last''' thing she said, too.
* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: Grammy Brunhildagarde
* [[Infant Immortality]]: Dr. Diggers tried his best to disarm the werewolf leader, but in the end the only werecheetah left to save was baby Britanny.
Line 118 ⟶ 120:
** Array personifies this trope [[Me's a Crowd|all by herself]], [[I Have Many Names|and herself]], [[Mind Hive|and herself]], [[The Conspiracy|and herself]], [[Doppelganger Attack|and herself]], [[Living Weapon|and herself]]... but they're all on the same side - ''her side!''
* [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: Britanny (until her marriage), and Gina. Ironically, the latter used to be a [[Geek|Geeky]] [[Shrinking Violet]], until her [[The Ladette|more outgoing]] sister Britanny had enough of her reclusive attitude and, to make a long story short, broke her out of her box. The result? Gina became "boy-crazy" ''[[Up to Eleven|by "boy-crazy extraordinaire" Britanny's personal standards]]''. The latter doesn't know whether or not she should regret "helping" her sister.
{{quote|'''Britanny
'''Gina''': '''Eek!''' (
'''Britanny
'''Brianna''' (narrating):
** Brianna may have gained both of their sex drives combined, as [[Crowning Moment of Funny|she used to chain her panicked boyfriend to the bed to have her way with him]].
** [[Rule of Funny|Xane is the most extreme of all, as she regularly drools while taking concealed clothes-removing x-ray photographs of any attractive male within sight]]. She is getting some [[Laser-Guided Karma]] from [[Les Yay|Crush]], though<ref>After having accidentally planted her face in the other woman's crotch. Crush pretends to believe it was deliberate, and now calls Xane "Sweet lips."</ref>.
Line 163 ⟶ 165:
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Rather averted by, for starters, Gina's father Theodore, an arch-mage with a trim, hard body -- who's been shown looking only a bit irked when she [[I Just Shot Marvin in the Face|accidentally shot a '''10-inch-wide''' hole completely through his chest]]. He explains at one point that every molecule of his body is under his conscious control; a werewolf breaking his spine is annoyingly painful, but not incapacitating.
* [[Start of Darkness]]: Tirant, Dreadwing, the Lich King
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: One of Gina's students, Aljabra Gihom, has a tendency to '''take naps''' while kneeling, even in the middle of a room -- and when she does, she somehow projects "I'm a piece of furniture." So much so that when she wakes up, people abruptly realize they'd set their paperwork down atop a
{{quote|I guess when I'm all '''comfy''' in my '''nappin' pose''', somethin' about me just says to folks, "Oh, look! An end table! How convenient!"
* [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]]: Oracle, Azalea
* [[Super Mode]]: Britanny's "Tempest Mode".
Line 188 ⟶ 190:
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Ancient Gina's "Millenium Pimp Slap", one of a class of spells of legendary power, warps space and time to open a portal behind the target—to [[Megaton Punch|let the caster slap him upside the head]]. It requires such nigh-infinite power to execute that it causes EVERY MAGE IN THE SERIES to sense a disturbance in the Force!
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Frequently averted. For instance, Brianna, the lab accident composite clone trying to kill the Diggers sisters, now their gung-ho sister. Or Charlotte, the instant-grown harpy girl accidentally freed from the control of the time-travelling dog who fired her at our heroes, now co-headliner of a [[WAFF|WAFFy]] spinoff.
** Immediately after the dog's control was broken, Gina and company discovered that bubble of reality was about to collapse, so they ran for the way out ... taking Charlotte along, even though she was in a stupor and slowed them down. '''None''' of them were willing to just leave her behind.
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]
* [[The Worf Effect]]: Stripe. Just...Stripe. Despite a massive-power up halfway through the B&W series making him one of the two most powerful good guys, he is infamous for being hit by surprise, dropping his guard, and so on. Outside his first battles post-power up, it's rare he doesn't end up knocked out at least for a while during a fight. No wonder Agent M thought he needed training despite his skill and strength.
