Emberverse: Difference between revisions

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Ten-year-old Rudi Mackenzie is beautiful and charming. And he deals out almost as much damage to his would-be kidnappers as do his two adult bodyguards.

* [[Badass Creed]]: Clan MacKenzie's war chant:

We are the bolts that Hecate cast! }}

* [[Badass Damsel]]: Kidnap Mathilda (or try to), and you have an excellent chance of finding yourself facing the sharp pointy end of her sword.

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tiphaine d'Ath and Delia de Stafford. Tiphaine is the [[Butch Lesbian|toughest woman]] -- arguably the toughest ''person'' -- in the Protectorate, dresses in male garb (usually a big no-no in that realm), wears her hair in a pageboy and would wear it shorter if she could, and doesn't like children. Her lover Delia is [[Lipstick Lesbian|a complete creampuff]], an expert weaver and needlewoman who never dresses in anything less than the height of feminine fashion, wears her hair long and lush, and loves babies. Naturally, they're inseparable.

* [[Unholy Matrimony]]: Probably best exampled by a quote:

Sandra Arminger: Mine was a monster. But don't think for a second that I loved mine any less than you loved yours. }}

* [[Villainous Valour]]: Whether outnumbered and pursued by the Mackenzies, surrounded by Astrid and friends, or betrayed by a member of her own band, [[Dark Action Girl]] Tiphaine d'Ath earns her victories with remarkable skill, ingenuity, and courage. She's not a particularly likable person, and her objectives are often other than admirable, but her wit and her grit are outstanding.
