Line 20:
Pretty much ''anyone'' [[Lady of Adventure|with the title "Lady" in an Action Adventure story]] will be this.
Compare [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]], [[Rebellious Princess]], [[Badass Princess]], [[Kicking Ass in All Her Finery]] and [[Officer and a Gentleman]]. Contrast [[Princess Classic]], [[Prince Charming]]. Compare/Contrast [[Modest Royalty]]. If she's based on Joan of Arc, she's a [[Jeanne D'Archetype]]. Compare [[Silk Hiding Steel]], for a woman who -- usually -- does her fighting in the court or parlor and with a fan and words instead of spear and shield.
Note, a '''Lady of War''' is ''not'' just any female character who can fight or participates in combat. That would be an [[Action Girl]], although nearly all '''Ladies of War''' are also [[Action Girl]]s. A '''Lady of War''' is further distinguished by her grace and dignity as well as her combat aptitude. Essentially, she's the [[Distaff Counterpart]] to an [[Officer and a Gentleman]]. A '''Lady of War''' who uses magic instead of a more corporeal weapon is a [[Lady of Black Magic]]. May be the female half of a [[Battle Couple]]. Like a male [[Cultured Warrior]], some incarnations have a chance of being developed into a [[Warrior Poet]].

== Anime
* Lind from ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' is who Heaven calls when they want something completely destroyed. She's actually a very considerate and friendly person, when she's not on the job.
** Subverted, the only reason she uses her axe/glaive is that she's holding back, she's actually deadlier and more brutal without it.
