Line 115:
** Molly Weasley may be a ''bit'' too young to qualify, but her oldest son is nearly thirty when she takes down Bellatrix so she's probably pretty close.
{{quote|[[Memetic Mutation|"NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!"]]}}
*** She's a grandmother in less than a year after that event happens, so, close enough.
* In Daniel Pennac's novel ''La Fée Carabine'', a group of old ladies had been taught to use guns, which is somewhat unusual in Paris. And then there were the accidents....
* In the first of the ''[[Stephanie Plum]]'' books, Grandma's response to being kidnapped (and having her own and her granddaughter's life threatened) involves bullets. Quite a few bullets. She doesn't actually shoot anyone (her aim isn't the greatest), but starts a fire that burns down the funeral home (she apparently didn't know that the crates stacked along the walls contained ammunition, explosives, etc., or if she knew, she didn't care).
Line 180 ⟶ 181:
* Pearl Bright in Jane Lindskold's ''[[Breaking the Wall]]'' trilogy. When your first on-page action in one of the books is beheading an attacker who took you completely by surprise, you are this trope.
* In Maria Semyonova's book series ''[[The Wolfhound]]'', we learn that it was an [[Old Master|old lady]] known as Mother Kendarat who has taught the protagonist (big, [[Badass]] [[Noble Savage|barbarian warrior]]) his martial arts prowess. A few years later the hero regularly beats seven kinds of shit out of his numerous opponents, and still Mother Kendarat can wipe the floor with him. This series also has an old Norse lady, grandmother of another prominent character, who had spent 20 years on a cold barren desert of an island ''alone'', then, when 70 [[Badass]] [[Proud Warrior Race|Vikings]] came to her island, she took leadership over them and sailed away to the other side of the world to find her lost grandson.
