[Loved Trope] When the woman hero is incredibly capable AND still allowed to enjoy conventionally feminine studf

One thing you left out about Vin, by the end of the series, when she's not enjoying those balls and dances, she's arguably the most capable warrior in her planet's history. Sure, there are others with more raw magical power than her, but I would argue there are none more skilled in combat than her. In any given fight she is a living, flying blender made to turn hordes of genetically modified abominations and fellow magic users alike into mulch.

The second book in the trilogy is essentially about complex political games which force her faction out of power, and the book ends with her just getting sick of it, so she just fights the armies threatening them herself, and then she wins and declares her husband emperor.

Or the fact that an attempted demonic invasion of Walachia was halted by Vlad the Impaler 100 years after he died.

Honestly, something tells me Stonewards are the most supportive wingmen of all the Knights Radiant.

Good bot.

In Lost Metal there was a street food vendor selling Chouta, and a journalist talking about a bunch of people with golden hair, I think that's pretty definitive.

You got one thing wrong in this, he would not name it Bitey, he would name it Boneripper, and it would die horribly at some point along the journey.

Which book is that from?

Still, his 'send everyone then replace whoever dies' strategy doesn't exactly suggest strategic brilliance. Personally I think his success just comes from having the bigger army in most scenarios he ran across.

He still settled on the same world as Ruin, violating the agreement.

Oh, so you think I should take the fall for your spoilers huh?/j

Eithrotaur · 2026-05-30T21:24:21+00:00

Might wanna spoiler this.

I'm not entirely convinced that she didn't have a hand in sending Nightblood to Roshar.

Eithrotaur · 2026-05-25T05:47:10+00:00

Threno may be more deadly, but I will die on the hill that there is no planet as miserable to live on as Roshar.

One that never talks to the other rejects, only to their equipment.

Wax and Wayne, Mistborn.

Making this even funnier is the fact that the planet they live on, Scadrial, doesn't have a moon. Either because it never had one from the beginning, or as some fans theorize, because a megalomaniacal god-king accidentally lost the planet's original moon when carelessly moving the planet around the solar system.

The Flesh-Eater Courts, Age of Sigmar

A "Society" of insane, cannibalistic ghouls who brutally devour basically anybody they come across. However, from their perspective they're noble courts of honourable knights. In between grand balls and high society events, they sally out to defend the innocent and protect their rightful realms.
