* How Dove is so intelligent, and commands such respect, that she is able to make all the Lurian nobles in the resistance, many of which are over twice her age and look down on her for her mixed race, listen to her and accept her as leader.

* Kel is a blazing idealist who ardently believes in a form of chivalry in which the strong don't just protect the weak but help to lift them up without condescension. The world she lives in is imperfect and she can't simply overcome systemic oppression, but her commitment to other people and her own code is so strong that it moves others to reconsider the status quo. Kel's speech in ''First Test'' ends with an ArmorPiercingQuestion about whether people who accepted cruel hazing as pages will really come to think that they should protect the weak and the small that persuades her friends to join her. Her support for Lalasa gives Lalasa strength and confidence that Lalasa carries forwards to teach to others. The Monarchs agree to change an unfair law. There's a real sense that MedievalStasis is not enforced here, and Kel's example and influence are shifting things for the better.

Lord Wyldon

* Angry Daine unleashing skeleton zombie dinosaurs = Crowning Moment to rule them all in these series.

** To add onto this? She keeps pushing herself until she can hit dead center every time, uses a willow ring (most rings are oak; the willow ring is much lighter and thus sways much more in the wind) to train with, and becomes the best in not only her class, but the ''entirety of the pages''. By ''Squire'', she only loses jousting matches when she wants to, to keep people from thinking she's enchanted. (Except when she jousts against Wyldon, but ''everyone'' loses to him.)

* Kel in general as unlike the other heroines in the series, she doesn't have any form of magic and until Squire, didn't exactly have any kind of divine assistance or mission from the divine. She is pretty much the Badass Normal heroine of the series.

** Not to be confused with another [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles rampaging wizard]] and his [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1248964599329.jpg epic mount Sue]]

* At the end of the second book, Alanna publicly accuses [[spoiler: Duke Roger]] of murder after uncovering (with the Chamber's help) evidence of his EvilPlan. She defeats him in single combat in front of the Court, in spite of the fact that she's only ''just'' been knighted and he is a veteran MagicKnight.

* Angry Daine [[spoiler: unleashing skeleton zombie dinosaurs]] = Crowning Moment to rule them all in these series.

** Also, her final showdown with Ozorne in "Realms of the Gods", where she spends the entire fight dodging every piece of magic [[spoiler: the Stormwing]] throws at her by constantly shape shifting, and when she has no magic left, [[spoiler:stabbing him in the chest with her badger claw.]]

* Kel's {{The Reason You Suck Speech}} to Idrius Valestone, including turning his sexist rhetoric around on him by mocking his baldness.
* Kel's mission to [[spoiler: rescue the refugees who were kidnapped from Haven]]. Throughout the whole thing she proves herself an excellent tactician once again, whittling down the enemy's far superior numbers using every trick she's learned over the course of four books, before the final showdown with Stenmun and Blayce.

* The female Balitangs all get some good hits in during the final chapter of ''Trickster's Choice'', with [[spoiler: Sarai turning on Bronau once and for all, Winnamine killing one of his henchmen with a candelabra, and Dove getting rid of the bastard for good with the arrows Nawat gave her.]] And then there's Nawat [[spoiler: pulling a BigDamnHeroes by convincing the other crows to take human form for a little while.]]

* Beka, Achoo (and to a lesser, extent Goodwin) managing to chase Pearl for ''hours'', until they're all weary and exhausted, but continue to fight, even when they're in a filthy sewer filling with water.

* Alanna's duel against Dain of Melor. She's only a squire at the time and beats the snot out of him after her breaks the rules and tries to kill her. [[IamNotLeftHanded All with her less dominant hand.]] Which is related to another CrowningMomentOfAwesome, namely learning to sword fight with her left hand and a too heavy sword after her right arm is broken.

--> I'd heard of a Growl, when Dogs took up a challenge. It meant ill for the Rats that made them voice it. But it was one thing to hear of it, another thing to sit in the Mantel and Pullet and hear that rumbling snarl come from dozens of throats.
