Asskicking Leads To Leadership is the new name of the trope.


* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: It's unknown if she became queen by marrying or defeating her mother. It is, however, the sole reason she's still in charge – nobody ever comes close to defeating her.

* {{Main/BFS}}: Her sword looks like a [[WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower Sword of Protection]] that would have been made to accomodate [[{{Manga/Berserk}} Gut's tastes]]. Or the other way around. Erika wields it with little effort but others, especially princes, have a much harder time.

* CordonBleugh: Subverted. She's presented as an "excellent cook" by the Mistress of Arms, but that's just a lie in order not to anger her. In reality, she's a LethalChef.

The court's weapons instructor and Erika's mentor. While undoubtebly a skilled fighter, she doesn't seem interested in taking the Queen's place, and rather spends most of her free time napping, drinking, or wooing pretty boys.

to:

* CockFight: GenderReversed, again. She'll pick on other girls in the street in order to impress the boys.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Not rape, fortunately, but her behaviour with Benoît easily falls within the realm of sexual aggression. Meant as a point of how it is always unacceptable.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: She drinks a lot, and prefers having her drinks served by several pretty boys at once.
* ReallyGetsAround: She accumulates one-time conquests without a care in the world.
* TheSlacker: When she isn't giving Erika some training, she's not doing a lot of work. Possibly justified in that she's part of the warrior elite class in a medieval-ish society. When there is no one to fight at the moment, she occupies her self with idle activities, or starting a fight.

[[folder:Queen]]

[[folder:Queen]][[folder:Queen Lagertha]]
The current ruler. She's frequently challenged by contenders who would like to take her title, but so far it's been unsucessful.
* AbusiveParents: [[DeliberateValuesDissonance Not for her country's values]], but she's frequently dismissive of her daughter, calls her unworthy, and mocks her aspirations.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: It's unknown if she became queen by marrying or defeating her mother. It is, however, the sole reason she's still in charge – nobody ever comes close to defeating her.
* PercussiveTherapy: She's got an habit of smashing everything around her when she's angry, especially her own throne.
* SitcomArchNemesis: The court's messenger pigeon, who frequently relieves itself on her.
* [[WouldHitAGirl Would Hit A Boy]]: Her husband is seen giving her a presumably weak slap. She punches, and hits much harder.

The protagonist. Normally heiress to the throne, tradition in the Kingdom of Brutes mandates that the Princess must marry in order to ascend to queendom. However, [[ReadTheFinePrint the fine print]] mentions that accomplishing quests may work too. Since many neighbouring kingdoms have [[DistressedDude princes in distress]] issues, she sets on a quest to save as many of them as possible and prove that she can rule alone.

* AmazonianBeauty: Book 2 in particular graphically reveals that she's very muscular. Which isn't out of the ordinary in that world, where muscles are a feminine beauty standard.
* BarbarianHero: She's loud, brash, strong, and fighting is usually her default approach to problem-solving.

* LethalChef: Not only does what she cooks taste repulsive, it's apparently really hard to digest as well.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Pita is short and appears rather scrawny. However, according to her function as a squire, she valiantly carries a huge backpack around for Erika and is able to lift and toss boulders around when she's angry.


Added DiffLines:

A horse appointed to Erika by her mentor. He has his quirks, such as refusing that people mount him without washing their hands first.
