* In [[The Grimnoir Chronicles]], Joe Vierra is a Portuguese farmer who spits at the [[The Great Depression|Okies]] that pass by his farm. But he still buys and adopts the daughter of one family when he notices that she has a potentially self-destructive power that needs training.

She's also an unrepentant female chauvinist -- though of course most men of the time were unrepentant male chauvinists.
