A character of mine narrowly subverts this in that she has no regard for lives and is very quick to kill anyone in the party's way.

This Troper's OC, Ingenue}} Aki Chung Feng, is an example of one. For (almost) every single appearance she makes, she either wears a {{Quipao}} or a {{Quipao}} blouse, uses a halbred axe to fight on the rare occasion when she must fight, and she is very beautiful. But, she's also a {{Broken Bird}} {{Bishoujo}} who watched her mother die in front of her eyes, was revealed to be an illegitamite child, and almost saw the love of her life almost die after she confessed her feelings to him. Fortunately, Gets Better}} he gets better.

Girl in my class COMPLETELY embodies this {{trope}}. She is very... elegant i believe the word is, and i have seen her fight, damn it's sexy and terrifying and oddly fitting when she beats some guy/girl up especially when she's wearin a skirt.

One Christmas my Uncle gave me a card in which he wrote on the inside that I was a Warrior Princess. Of course it was during the time period where my older brother and I ended up having frequent wrestling matches (i always won).

I once did a story Free Trader Captain's Wife in {{Traveller}} whose husband was besieged by a party of local rebels. She went into the office of the local garrison commander and received nothing but a "proposition" from a commander hoping to take advantage of her desperation. In a rage she turned and asked the sentry, "How much are you paid?" and then, "How long since you were paid". Then she said, "I can promise you three months in cash and five more in credit if you will come with me to rescue my husband." At that of course all the soldiers started getting interested. The ungentlemanly commander complained,"You're inciting mutiny". Whereupon she said,"I'm a merchant. Your government won't keep it's contract to it's servants. So now I'm 'forecloseing'. They're MY army now."

This troper was an acquaintance to a young woman who was a black belt in his Tae Kwon Do class, and was very Rukia-esque in appearance. On one occasion, I saw her wearing a beautiful dress at a party. Needless to say, she looked mind-blowing. :)

In college, ThisTroper met an awesome young woman who was a TallDarkAndBishoujo {{Badass}} fencer as part of an informal sparring group. Sadly ThisTroper was forced out of school shortly thereafter so there wasn't much chance to make friends or anything. Still, at least from a cursory view she appeared to fit this trope exactly.

ThisTroper plays one in a {{Pokemon}} RP. She's a Gardevoir and a mercenary.

....Would this Gardie happen to be named Alice, perchance?

I, too, wish to aquire this information.

My character in White Wolf's {{Hunter: The Vigil}} embodies this {{trope}}. With dual wielding arm blades and guns akimbo status. She appreciates high class and etiquette and didn't blink twice in murdering her groom on the altar...but he had it coming. I find it interesting exploring a fashionista with expensive taste and design with a ruthless cool and collected attitude when called to battle.

This Troper is writing a story set in {{Warhammer40000}} where the FiveManBand's commander (an Imperial Inquisitor) is pretty clearly this. Oddly enough, she actually ''is'' paired off with the main character, unlike most Ladies of War, although that grew from a LesYay RelationshipWritingFumble and has now evolved to be a PetTheDog seeing as she's also the resident ice queen.

This troper's Pathfinder Bard was close to being this, being a young lady from an aristocratic family with an AC of 45, a ways above that of the main tank fighter. However her habit of cannibalising previous paramores hinders such a classification.

This troper's good friend is the local social butterfly, able to fit into any social gathering comfortably, has the perfect dress to go with any occasion, and is skilled in Tae Kwon Do and Akido. Mess with her or any of her {{Nakama}}, and she will beat you within an inch of your life.
