Vorkosigan Saga/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 22:

** Cetagandan ''Kitten Trees.'' For the love of all that's holy, '''do not pick one before they're RIPE.'''

** The [[Body Horror|once-human things]] in Baron Ryoval's research/torture labs.

* [[What Measure Is a Non Badass]]: Ekaterin comes off as this compared to the rest of Miles's soldier/badass girlfriends, mostly because she's had a quieter, more domestic life. She has a brief [[Adrenaline Makeover]] at the end of ''Komarr'' that impresses the hell out of Miles, though, so maybe she just has that potential and never used it.

** Ekaterin acquits herself pretty well toward the end of ''Diplomatic Immunity'' while {{spoiler|Miles is incapacitated}}. It's also made clear in the series that there's more than one kind of badassery, and once out from under Tien and in Miles' orbit Ekaterin starts displaying hers, from proposing to Miles in front of the entire Council of Counts to fox Richars Vorrutyer in ''Civil Campaign'' to {{spoiler|working behind the scenes on both a personal and diplomatic level to make contacting the Cetagandans about the rogue ba easier}} in ''Diplomatic Immunity''. She's also super-classy towards Miles' various paramours and would-be paramours, even having his old flame Taura stand as second during her wedding.

* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Mark drifts into this territory several times.
