Line 37:
* [[Last Girl Wins]]
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]: Interestingly, she more or less abandoned the culture of one [[Proud Warrior Race]] (the Jannisars, which Sten broke in half) to join up with another, the cheerful, hairy alien Bhor. (See Otho below).
** She did that for one of the most traditional Proud Warrior Race reasons possible -- the Bhor (led by Sten) had soundly defeated the Jannisars in war, so of course they're a more worthy culture to learn from.
* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]: As preparation for her initial seduction attempt on Sten, Cind spent six months' salary on an expensive ''haute couture'' dress and had herself extensively made up and perfumed... and then ditched the dress and scrubbed it all off in the shower, because she simply couldn't take herself seriously in that getup. When she makes her pass at Sten she's in her cadet uniform and her only cosmetic preparation was washing her hair. Sten being Sten, this comes far closer to working than anything else she could have tried.
** Then subverted during her second attempt on Sten, years later, where one of the things that catches his eye is that she's not only very comfortable wearing a cocktail dress but has deliberately spent time learning how to make that fashion ''work'' for her.
