* [[GadgeteerGenius Laura]] of the ''Literature/HIVESeries'' is slowly but surely becoming one of these. While she doesn't have to use it very often because she always has [[TheSquadette Shelby]] with her, she occasionally displays an ability to aim and fire a variety of weapons competently and quickly. In books seven and eight, she is a [[spoiler: student of the Glasshouse, where she trains in hand-to-hand combat. She isn't as good as some of the other students, but the fact that she even survived puts her well above average.]]

* Annabeth from ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' reads architecture books in Ancient Greek at the age of twelve. She is also a brilliant but brutal strategist and fights with a bronze knife. We guarantee that she can kick the butt of almost any mythological creature you care to name.
