Little Miss Badass: Difference between revisions

Line 245:
* ''[[Castlevania]]: Rondo of Blood'' Maria Renard, the secret playable character, definitely counts. Though it might just be the contrast that makes her shine. The actual hero of the game, Richter Belmont, controls with all the grace of a mack truck with a few flat tires. Maria can ''run'', double jump, attack super fast with an army of owls, and do a forward slide. It's a wonder anybody ever uses Richter in that game.
* ''[[Chrono Cross]]'' Marcy. Leah's more a [[Cute Bruiser]] sort, but Marcy is more than happy to tell you her opinion of you as she's beating you down. Becomes playable later, too.
* ''[[Darkstalkers]]''
* The ''[[Darkstalkers]]'' series. Bulleta/Baby Bonnie Hood. She's a [[He Who Fights Monsters|monster-hunting]] [[Badass Normal]], being the only one who shows no supernatural or high-tech abilities, just heavy munitions. Yet, she takes down Darkstalkers who are far bigger and stronger than her regularly.
** Bulleta/Baby Bonnie Hood. She's a [[He Who Fights Monsters|monster-hunting]] [[Badass Normal]], being the only one who shows no supernatural or high-tech abilities, just heavy munitions. Yet, she takes down Darkstalkers who are far bigger and stronger than her regularly. For context, a low-level Dark Stalker can destroy an entire army and could scare the literal crap out of a hardened veteran marine. Bulleta makes ''Class-S'' Darkstalkers shit their pants (Class-S being the strongest level).
* ''[[Disgaea]]'': Etna who, at one point, reverses a [[Batman Gambit]] back onto her blackmailer and ends up kicking his ass from here to next Friday. Though she is [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|Really Fourteen Hundred Seventy Years Old]], she's around 13-14 by demon standards.
** In the second game there's Adell's nine-year-old sister Hanako.
** [[Badass Bookworm|Raspberyl]] in the third game.
Line 290:
* Every female playable character in ''[[Pokémon]]'', and a few NPCs.
* Arima Miyako from [[Melty Blood]]. She's just the younger cousin of the main character, and a completly normal human who relies only in fighting skills. However, anyone that can take on [[Physical God|Arcueid]], [[Nigh Invulnerability|Ciel]] or [[Eldritch Abomination|Nrvnqsr Chaos]] '''certainly counts'''.
* In ''[[Monster Girl Quest]]''., Granberia is, in fact, an adult, and when she tells Lucas that she mastered the Serene Mind technique 20 years ago, he assumes at first that she is [[Really 700 Years Old]]. She is not; - she learned it when she was only 5.
 
=== Visual Novels ===
* ''[[Fate/stay night]]''
* ''[[Fate/stay night]]'''s* Ilyasviel von Einzbern;. madeMade all the more apparent considering her servant is Berserker. Specifically of the [[Older Than They Look]] type, {{spoiler|what with being a (sort-of) [[Artificial Human|homunculus]] and all}}.
** Saber may also count since she is a very tiny girl with a physical age of around 15-16.
* [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|A bunch of paranoid kids who spend most of their time killing each other in a variety of horrific ways]] may seem like an odd choice for this trope, but several of the girls definitely have moments that define them as Little Miss Badasses, mostly in Kai when [[The Power of Friendship]] is at its' strongest. Rika, however, takes the cake for managing to endure {{spoiler|being caught in a Groundhog Day-style time loop--in which ''every single loop'' ends in her death--for over 100 years}} and ''not'' go screamingly insane long before the series proper even begins.
