The Ladette: Difference between revisions

== [[Advertising]] ==

* The star of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-N9xocbtPw this] beer commercial.

 

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* Ayase Yuto's sister in [[Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu]] can outdrink anyone.

* Played straight in the anime that is [[Galaxy Angel (anime)|Galaxy Angel]] with Forte, what with being the obsessed [[Gun Nut]] that she is. Subverted with the game from which the anime was adapted (See the Video Games section entry).

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* Kate Spencer, the modern [[Manhunter (comics)|Manhunter]], smokes, drinks and works as a Federal prosecutor for her day job, and in her off hours she takes out [[Karma Houdini]] criminals and does ''not'' abide by the [[Thou Shall Not Kill]] rule most heroes follow.

* ''[[Red Sonja]]'' - everything but the sex.

 

== [[Film]] ==

* Kate, the female blacksmith from ''[[A Knight's Tale]]'' is a medieval version of this trope. The end of the film has her winning a flatulence contest with the other men.

* Atalanta in the Hallmark adaptation of ''[[Jason and the Argonauts]]''.

 

== [[Literature]] ==

* ''[[Agnes Grey]]'': Matilda Murray embodies this trope back in Victorian England, and needless to say this does not go over well at all.

** After centuries of [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|being indistinguishable from the men]], Dwarf women in Ankh-Morpork are experimenting with femininity and mostly hitting this point.

*** Namely, they started wearing leather or mail skirts with their armor and sometimes wear make-up, or slight heels on their iron-shod, hobnailed boots. Beards, armor, helmets, axes, drinking, singing about gold, etc.--stays the same. That being said, they don't drink ''beer'' so much anymore.

* ''[[Dragonlance]]'' has Kitiara Uth Matar, the love interest of Tanis Half-Elven and the Blue Dragonlord. Kit is has been shown to drink with her (mostly male) soldiers, happily engage in random battle and has no qualms about using her sexuality to further her goals or just to satisfy her boredom.

** Her showing these traits and her lack of inhibitions are what attracted Tanis (and indeed several other major players in the Dragonlance universe) in the first place.

* [[Anita Blake]], and how. Particularly pronounced as the series went on and all women except the titular character became characterized as weak, jealous, or otherwise not in contention for Anita's enormous reverse harem. Anita Blake is the distaff version of a male fantasy - where the titular character raises the dead, works for the police but also plays vigilante, and let's not forget the harem. Thirty or so men, with at least six regulars, and at least one new flavour per book. She's the biggest swinging dick in the series, and she [[The Immodest Orgasm|makes sure you know it]].

 

** The coed but macho military means that a number of other female characters have some elements of this, especially Kat.

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': Faith the sexual and violent slayer. She loves a good meal of burgers and fries, and can chug beer like a champion.

* Dee Reynolds in ''[[It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia]]'' can be sometimes as gross and sleazy as the male trio, yet still believe that her living style is on par with the ''[[Sex and the City]]'' crowd.

* ''[[Smallville]]'': Lois Lane is a tough fighter and a heavy drinker. (The latter being the reason she was expelled from Metropolis University).

 

== [[Music]] ==

* [[Ashlee Simpson]]: "Autobiography" and "Rule Breaker" helps her cause.

* [[Rihanna]], her actions after Good Girl Gone Bad indicate this, but Gangasta 4 Life proves it a fact.

 

== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==

** TNA <s> has</s> had another, less extreme, example in "The Hardcore Knockout" Roxxi. She's not constantly getting liquored up and cracking dirty jokes like ODB, but her punk look and [[Garbage Wrestler]] style definitely set her apart from the more feminine members of the roster.

* WWE has the [[Chick Busters]], AJ and Kaitlyn who like comic books, video games, action movies and playing practical jokes. The two of them can get girly at times though.

 

== [[Toys]] ==

* Kiina from ''[[Bionicle]]'', at least [[Character Development|initially]], if you read the [[All There in the Manual|novel and her backstory]]. Being a [[Gladiator Games|Glatorian]], stuck on a planet that she hated, she didn't have any reasons to act girly. If you only watch [[The Movie]] where she became something of a [[Genki Girl]], or read the story in which she is [[Promoted to Love Interest]], this trope may not seem so obvious.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

{{quote|Tact: "I thought you'd say something like 'The scent of gunpowder is my cologne!' or something."

Forte: "Evidently, [[You Watch Too Much X|you read too many novels]]." }}

 

== [[Web Comics]] ==

'''Mercutio:''' Arwen's cute and all, but she'd only be into ''elfy'' things, like gardening and embroidery. Whereas Eowyn is equally hot, but would also knock back a beer and play ''[[Quake]] Deathmatch'' with you. }}

 

 

== [[Western Animation]] ==
