* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': the [[OnlySaneMan level-headed]] teenage TeamMom troll Kanaya carries lipstick that happens to be a {{chainsaw|Good}} MorphWeapon. She sometimes uses it for its MundaneUtility, sometimes for horrifying but well-intentioned uses like [[spoiler:[[BackAlleyDoctor sawing off]] Tavros' damaged legs in his sleep so he can get [[ArtificialLimbsAreStronger prosthetic upgrades]], and sometimes for BewareTheNiceOnes carnage like [[spoiler:[[[[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005434 bisecting Eridan]] in retribution for turning against them]].

* Kanaya (grimAuxiliatrix) from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' wields a chainsaw. [[spoiler: And is perfectly fine with using it to CUT OFF TAVROS' LEGS WHILE HE'S SLEEPING.]]
** Arguably a subversion, in that she's much more therapist than psycho, to the extent that she's the trolls' TeamMom if not the [[OnlySaneMan the most level-headed of them all]]. Which may not be saying much. [[AllTrollsAreDifferent Trolls sure are weird]]. [[spoiler: She did have [[BackAlleyDoctor a pretty good reason]] for cutting off Tavros's legs.]]
*** And then it's [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005434 played straight]]. (Her victim does have it coming.)
** Subverted also in that, in a MythologyGag reference to ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'', the chainsaw often turns into a tube of lipstick. [[spoiler: And then double subverted when she [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005441 coolly applies]] the lipstick, which is still covered in her chainsaw victim's blood.]]

* In an [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37mPoKQijj8 infamous scene]] from a chapter of ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'', Osaka thought she'd wake up Yukari-sensei by banging on a frying pan, but since she was half-asleep herself at the time, she took a knife out of the cupboard instead, with the result that Yukari woke up to see a [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant groggy-eyed, knife-wielding Osaka]] standing in the bedroom doorway.

* Krusche Elendia of ''VideoGame/ArTonelico'' isn't a psycho per se, but being a WrenchWench as she is, her weapon of choice is a chainsaw.

** The infamous "axe" ending of ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' has [[spoiler: Clover getting her hands on axe and murdering June, Santa, Seven and finally Junpei]]
** In one particular scene in ''VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma'' has Akane getting her hands on chainsaw.

* Yamasaki Asami, the psychotic serial killer from author Ryu Murakami's book ''Audition'', on which the Takashi Miike movie above is based, fits this trope to a T. Not only does she paralyze her victims using a syringe injected straight into the skin under the tongue, but she removes a man's foot with a wire saw and would have gotten the other foot too if she [[spoiler: hadn't been killed]].

* In ''Literature/{{Worm}}'', the supervillain Bonesaw looks like a young girl with carefully styled curly blond hair. She is actually a Tinker, an extremely talented mad scientist whose specialty is altering biological organisms. She takes pleasure in kidnapping people and using them in horrific experiments, remaking them into monsters. Imp might also fit this more directly, as she is described as a pretty teen girl who walks around with knives and fireaxes, and her PerceptionFilter superpower makes it easy for her to walk right up to people and stab them, which seems to amuse her greatly.

* Alfimi from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' is an adorable EmotionlessGirl who pilots [[strike:a HumongousMecha]] an EldritchAbomination styled after a Japanese demon wielding a katana. In her ultimate attack, she smiles cheerfully while impaling the enemy and wiggling the sword inside the wound, which is even more disturbing when she does it in ''[[EndlessFrontier Endless Frontier EXCEED]]'' without her mecha.

* The major part of the psycho weapon-wielding anime girls [[TropeCodifier are predated]] by [[spoiler: Mariko Shinobu]] from ''Manga/OniisamaE''. In the last part of the series, when the local AlphaBitch [[spoiler: Aya Misaki]] mocks her due to [[spoiler: her parents's extremely messy and public divorce]]... an already very unstable [[spoiler: Mariko]] [[FreakOut snaps so badly]] that she [[spoiler: ''slashes Aya's arms, clothes and back with a knife that she had somehow smuggled into her school things''.]] These events [[spoiler: get Mariko kicked out of the Sorority... and start the "rolling snow ball" that concludes with the dissolution of said Sorority.]]

* In ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'', [[spoiler:Asakura Ryouko wields a knife in a menacing fashion - despite [[FridgeLogic the fact that she can]] [[RealityWarper alter reality]] [[JustHitHim and could probably make Kyon's head]] [[YourHeadASplode explode]] [[JustHitHim just by thinking about it.]]]]

* Every angel (especially the main character) in ''[[LightNovel/BludgeoningAngelDokurochan Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan]]'' wields a dangerous weapon, usually with extremely violent and gory results.
** The title character Dokuro uses her giant spiked club Excalibolg on Sakura to [[MadeOfPlasticine splatter him into tiny bits]]...[[OnceAnEpisode repeatedly]].
* [[{{Yandere}} Kaede Fuyou]] of ''VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}}'' is best known for doing this [[spoiler: on the very UnluckyEverydude she's chasing after, when she thought he was to blame for her mother's death; a part of [[ExtremeDoormat her devotion to Rin]] comes from her guilt over this incident.]]

* Rin Kagamine from Music/{{Vocaloid}} owns a giant roadroller that she likes to squish people with.
** And Kiku Juon's Signature items are 2 giant cleavers.

** Saya Takagi gets her first kill while cornered in a supply closet, and the only thing she can crab at is a [[ThisIsADrill power drill.]] The subversion is that, while she doesn't hesitate (since she, y'know, doesn't want to get eaten), she has a [[HeroicBSOD complete breakdown]] over the situation, so the psycho part isn't so much AxeCrazy as it is post traumatic stress disorder.

* Erza from ''Manga/FairyTail'' in her flashback wielding [[DualWield two]] {{BFS}}ES.

* Anime/{{Pokemon}}: Jessie likes that bazooka of hers a little ''too'' much...

* Several of the characters in Riser Phenex's Peerage from LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD use chainsaws and swords.

* Shallan Davar in ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive''. Cute, shy, DeadpanSnarker, and [[spoiler: carries a [[SoulCuttingBlade Shardblade]].]]

----

* [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MiraiNikki.jpg Gasai Yuno]] from ''Manga/FutureDiary'', to go along with her AxCrazy {{Yandere}} tendencies. People who get between her and her Yuki-kun have a tendency to ''disappear''. Well, not disappear exactly, more... Be replaced by a mangled corpse and a puddle of blood.
** Ironically, she has ''so many'' psycho weapons that she doesn't have an iconic one.
** She seems most comfortable with knives, but has also demonstrated extreme skill with axes, handguns, and even, on occasion, a grenade.

* [[{{Yandere}} Kaede Fuyou]] of ''{{Shuffle}}'' is best known for doing this [[spoiler: on the very UnluckyEverydude she's chasing after, when she thought he was to blame for her mother's death; a part of [[ExtremeDoormat her devotion to Rin]] comes from her guilt over this incident.]]

* In ''Theatre/{{Ruddigore}}'', when Robin, as Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd, has kidnapped Dame Hannah, she draws a small dagger to defend herself with, but what makes him cringe in terror is when seizes a much larger dagger from an armored figure and tosses the smaller one to him.

* Each Little Sister in the ''Franchise/BioShock'' games wields an ADAM-harvesting syringe as big as herself - but the real danger comes from the [[RobotBuddy Big Daddy]] that protects her.

* Nina from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' starts as the ShrinkingViolet with a crush on Euphemia Li Britannia [[spoiler:and after [[FreakOut she finds she died]], she puts the 'psycho' back in PsychoLesbian by creating a nuclear weapon to kill Zero along with Tokyo]]. After the TimeSkip, turns out [[spoiler: she sucdeeds on the second part]].

* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' is built off of this trope, to the point where some call it "the Killer-Loli anime". The series features the iconic, AxCrazy Ryuugu Rena, a.k.a. "Cleaver Girl". (The weapon, [[DependingOnTheWriter depending on who you ask]], is either a cleaver, a hooked machete, or a billhook/cleaver.) The machete is, mostly, used to find cute things. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Mostly]]. The Sonozaki family has an elaborate torture room that is put to good use, while Shion favors her taser. And even Rika wields a large butcher knife at one point. A syringe also makes a few appearances as a weapon, [[spoiler:although it's never actually used for ill -- it's always either an antidote for the show's slow-acting HatePlague or a hallucination]] (except for [[spoiler:when one was used to kill Tomitake]]). Rika's weapon of choice, however, seems to be a '''mop''' [[spoiler:, as seen in the Atonement chapter]]. This is even her weapon in Daybreak, a ''fighting'' game.

* Both Erika Furudo and Bernkastel wield a giant scythe in ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry''. The only difference is that Erika's is blue while Bernkastel's is black, not to mention Beatrice and the 7 Stakes, and the Siestas' unhealthy obsession of [[http://www.zerochan.net/335160 arrows]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/318385 that]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/78477 never]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/79414 miss]].

[[quoteright:246:[[Manga/SaitamaChainsawShoujo http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Chainsaw_Shoujo.jpg]]]]

%% Image kept on page per Image Pickin' thread: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1333915924095798900

Most commonly the weapons are [[KnifeNut knives]], but other psycho weapons are also common, such as [[ChainsawGood chainsaws]] or other instruments of pain and destruction.

* The major part of the psycho weapon-wielding anime girls [[TropeCodifier are predated]] by [[spoiler: Mariko Shinobu]] from ''OniisamaE''. In the last part of the series, when the local AlphaBitch [[spoiler: Aya Misaki]] mocks her due to [[spoiler: her parents's extremely messy and public divorce]]... an already very unstable [[spoiler: Mariko]] [[FreakOut snaps so badly]] that she [[spoiler: ''slashes Aya's arms, clothes and back with a knife that she had somehow smuggled into her school things''.]] These events [[spoiler: get Mariko kicked out of the Sorority... and start the "rolling snow ball" that concludes with the dissolution of said Sorority.]]

* ''Manga/SaitamaChainsawShoujo'' -- Betcha can't guess the main character's WeaponOfChoice.
** Her name is Fumio Kirisaki, and that's her up at the top of the page. It's not just some random weapon she grabbed, either: she comes from a family of highly-skilled chainsaw users, and has trained with one for most of her life. It's also heavily implied that her grandfather was the chainsaw-wielding sheriff from ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2''.
* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' is built off of this trope, to the point where some call it "the Killer-Loli anime". The series features the iconic, AxCrazy Ryuugu Rena, a.k.a. "Cleaver Girl". (The weapon, [[DependingOnTheWriter depending on who you ask]], is either a cleaver, a hooked machete, or a billhook/cleaver.) The machete is, mostly, used to find cute things. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Mostly]]. The Sonozaki family has an elaborate torture room that is put to good use, while Shion favors her taser. And even Rika wields a large butcher knife at one point. A syringe also makes a few appearances as a weapon, [[spoiler:although it's never actually used for ill -- it's always either an antidote for the show's slow-acting HatePlague or a hallucination]] (except for [[spoiler:when one was used to kill Tomitake]]). Rika's weapon of choice, however, seems to be a '''mop''' [[spoiler:, as seen in the Atonement chapter]]. This is even her weapon in Daybreak, a ''fighting'' game.
* Nina from ''Manga/CodeGeass'' starts as the ShrinkingViolet with a crush on Euphemia Li Britannia [[spoiler:and after [[FreakOut she finds she died]], she puts the 'psycho' back in PsychoLesbian by creating a nuclear weapon to kill Zero along with Tokyo]]. After the TimeSkip, turns out [[spoiler: she sucdeeds on the second part]].

* ''[[TheWallflower Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge]]'': Because Sunako [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette resembles]] [[TheRing Sadako]] so closely, it's not surprising how creepy Sunako looks with a knife in her hand. Most of the time it's only there to chop fish with... but it looks creepy nonetheless.

* An extremely unusual instance of this trope occurs in ''{{Trigun}}''. Milly is generally a very large, quiet, cheerful woman. However, when danger looms, she pulls out a ''freaking enormous'' gun from underneath her voluminous cloak.

* Hibana from ''DeadmanWonderland'' and [[strike:Renji's]] her giant whip-sword, as well as all the female Deadman.
* Chachazero from ''MahouSenseiNegima'', a PerversePuppet who seems to have been [[FrozenFace built]] with a constant, innocent smile is somewhere over a foot in height and carries [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v06/c052/15.html a knife]] over twice that size.

* Leena Toros from ''Franchise/{{Zoids}}'' is the HumongousMecha variant. She likes to act cute and sweet, but when her signature ([[TheWorfEffect and often only]])) attack is a MacrossMissileMassacre....

* [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MiraiNikki.jpg Gasai Yuno]] from ''MiraiNikki'', to go along with her AxCrazy {{Yandere}} tendencies. People who get between her and her Yuki-kun have a tendency to ''disappear''. Well, not disappear exactly, more... Be replaced by a mangled corpse and a puddle of blood.

* [[TheMole Due]] of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikerS''. Weapon of choice? A clawed glove straight out of ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' that she [[FingerLickinEvil loves to lick bodily fluids off from]].
* Kitsu Chiri from ''SayonaraZetsubouSensei''. Weapon of choice: The knife, switching to a shovel later on (her name is, amongst other things, a pun on the act of burying something).

* Nekoko from ''KannazukiNoMiko'' attacks with a giant syringe the size of her body.

* Haruna from ''KoreWaZombieDesuKa'' also wields a chainsaw.
* Kokoa of ''RosarioToVampire Season 2'' turns a small bat named Kyou into any weapon she feels like having. On the front of the second volume she is seen carrying some kind of saw-sword or [[http://animeradius.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Rosario2-2-Cover-.jpg something ]].

* There's perhaps an unfortunate lack of female Meisters in ''SoulEater'' to wield Psycho Weapons. But we do have Maka Albarn, with her [[SinisterScythe scythe]] Weapon Soul Eater. Kim's Weapon Jackie does not ''look'' too dangerous as a lantern. [[KillItWithFire Until she starts using her as a flamethrower]]. [[StuffBlowingUp Or an explosive at close range]]. The crazed smile on the lantern's side should have been a hint, one thinks. And then there's Patti wielding pistol Liz with potentially deadly enthusiasm.

* The "Princess" in ''PrincessResurrection'' is seen using a different one of these [[OnceAnEpisode every single issue]].
* ''Manga/BlackLagoon'': Hansel [[spoiler:and/or Gretel]], when [[spoiler:the current]] Hansel wields the axe [[spoiler:(Since they switch personas, if one of them is a girl, it'd be this - at the very least, it'd be Cute Boy With Psycho Weapon)]]. Also Sawyer the Cleaner, a cute-looking gothic woman whose weapon of choice is a ''[[ChainsawGood chainsaw]]''.
* Rin Kagamine from {{Vocaloid}} owns a giant roadroller that she likes to squish people with.

* Many, if not all, of the Otherworld characters in the ''Franchise/BlackRockShooter''-verse uses one of these as their WeaponOfChoice. The list includes Black★Gold Saw ([[{{BFS}} King Saw]]), Dead Master ([[SinisterScythe Dead Scythe]]), Strength (mechanical gauntlets almost as big as she is)...Even the eponymous character has one in the form of the [[{{BFG}} Rock Cannon]] (As an added bonus, she has a [[KatanasAreJustBetter Katana]] as well).

* Both Erika Furudo and Bernkastel wield a giant scythe in ''VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi''. The only difference is that Erika's is blue while Bernkastel's is black, not to mention Beatrice and the 7 Stakes, and the Siestas' unhealthy obsession of [[http://www.zerochan.net/335160 arrows]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/318385 that]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/78477 never]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/79414 miss]].
* Two examples crop up in ''HighSchoolOfTheDead'', one playing this fairly straight, one subverting the trope hardcore.

* In ''BitterVirgin'', Kazuki wields a pair of scissors and on several occasions has attempted to stab Hinako as she sees her stealing Daisuke from her. When Yuzu asks her about said scissors, Kazuki casually replies they are for "protection from perverts".

* ''{{Durarara}}'' gives us a literal example: [[spoiler:the mostly-stable Sonohara Anri wields Saika, a demonic sword which is itself quite insane]].

* ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'': Nyarko is primarily a CrowbarCombatant, but at one point she pulls a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]] out of [[TrouserSpace Skirt Space]] and uses it to cleave through a horde of minion-level enemies.

* Fans of Takashi Miike's work may remember a little film named ''{{Audition}}''. Asami Yamazaki is gentle and soft-spoken - but what she does with razor wire and acupuncture needles in the last twenty minutes will make even the most hardened horror fan cringe. The appearance of a previous boyfriend in a dream sequence shortly before gives some idea of [[{{Yandere}} what she will do to prevent her lovers from leaving her]].

* In ''HighTension'', when the protagonist Marie's best friend Alex is abducted by a depraved serial killer, Marie fights psycho with psycho by wielding a butcher knife, a club wrapped in barbed wire, and even a ''circular saw'' in her efforts to get her friend back. In fact the saw is an industrial concrete/steel saw, a tool that can be used to cut through reinforced walls. You could probably take on the Franchise/{{Terminator}} with one of those things.
* The quiet female protagonist gets this way when she and her grandfather are terrorized in the movie ''Film/{{Axe}}''.

** The verse gives viewers Faith and that wicked looking knife. Buffy with an scythe doesn't count, that's saved for Willow when she goes round the bend when magic is gone from the world, takes the scythe to England, has it ready when she goes to visit Angel and he threatens her after a mass demon attack and not knowing who is at the door, and uses it to slice up his son.

* While women carrying big, scary looking weapons is fairly common in ''{{Exalted}}'', the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Maiden of the Mirthless Smile]] is probably the one with most of this.
* ''MutantChronicles'' gave us the Imperial Mourning Wolves, which are an AmazonBrigade of these. Picture a thousand {{Action Girl}}s with the [[DeathSeeker temperament]] of [[{{TabletopGame/Warhammer}} Troll Slayers]], wielding kusari and {{Wolverine}}-style claws. And then there's Valerie Duval, who thought building a single-shot 20mm autocannon into the handle of a tonfa with a 6-inch blade already on it was a good idea.

* In ''{{Ruddigore}}'', when Robin, as Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd, has kidnapped Dame Hannah, she draws a small dagger to defend herself with, but what makes him cringe in terror is when seizes a much larger dagger from an armored figure and tosses the smaller one to him.

* ''VideoGame/ChampionsOnline'' has the [[CreepyTwins Harajuku Twins]]: ElegantGothicLolita Rin wields a truely SinisterScythe with a bat-wing-shaped blade ''in one hand'' and GenkiGirl Shizuko carries a [[GatlingGood gatling]] [[SmallGirlBigGun gun]] with a teddy bear sitting on the barrel/s.
** Oh, and the two are good girls! They aid players in battle for one hour, after being summoned with a certain "henchman device". Buying that device also unlocks their weapons.

* The eponymous character from ''AmericanMcGeesAlice'' slices and dices everyone and everything with her wicked kitchen knife. Until she needs to kill faster and more efficiently, that is. This is a literal psycho example, since she's really [[CuckooNest locked up in an insane asylum]] and all this is [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind a battle for her sanity]].
* In ''HeavenlySword'', the supporting heroine, Kai, is an adorable girl who seems not all there in the head. She wields some sort of [[AutomaticCrossbows giant reloading crossbow]]. She also won't hesitate to threaten an enemy's '[[GroinAttack weak point]]' for 'massive damage'.

* In ''YumeNikki'', Madotsuki can use a kitchen knife, which causes some characters to move away from her if equipped, and is only effective against characters are harmless anyway (Uboa can't be stabbed, and the Toriningen take multiple hits, and will almost certainly get you first). She has 24 effects/items that she can use in total, but judging by the FanArt, the knife is easily the most remembered.
** Most player characters in YumeNikki fangames. Urotsuki from {{VideoGame/Yume2kki}} in particular uses a {{C|hainsawGood}}HAINSAW, and other one use [[VideoGame/DotFlow a pipe]] and another [[BiggerStick a club with nails in it]], [[{{VideoGame/LCDDEM}} another]] {{an axe|ToGrind}}, and more.

* [[VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice Sapphire and her chainsaw]]. Played for laughs in one of the funniest moments of the third game.
** She's also proficient with {{ax|Crazy}}es.
* Tira from SoulCalibur uses a weapon that's crazy in itself, being a bladed hula hoop sort of thing.

* Krusche Elendia of ArTonelico isn't a psycho per se, but being a WrenchWench as she is, her weapon of choice is a chainsaw.

* CuteWitch Evie from ''{{Vindictus}}'' gains the ability to wield an increasingly large, elaborate, and frightening-looking SinisterScythe (some versions of which are larger than she is).
* Lady in [[DevilMayCry Devil May Cry 3]] sports the "Kalina Ann," a modified [[{{BFG}} rocket launcher]] that is topped off with a bayonet.
* [[OlderThanTheyLook Presea]] [[EmotionlessGirl Combatir]] of VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia fame wields a [[AnAxetoGrind battleaxe]].

* Molly in VideoGame/TheWalkingDead fights with an ice axe she calls Hilda. And she's more badass with it than all the other characters combined.
* Both ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' and ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'' have this in spades. Female characters pack all sorts of psycho weapons like [[KnifeNut knives]], bladed hoop weapons, and in one particularly notable instance (Dynasty Warriors' Bao Sannang) what appears to be a [[KillerYoyo giant yoyo with blade attachments]].

* Mell Kelly of ''{{Narbonic}}'' has an ''alarming'' tendency to get her hands on such weapons, which, coupled with [[HeroicComedicSociopath her nature]], makes her one of the scarier ([[RuleOfFunny in a funny way]]) characters of the series.
* Oasis from ''SluggyFreelance'' is a very sweet girl until something comes between her and Torg or she spots a Hereti Corp employee. Then the knives come out.

* Lily from ''AfterLily'' wields her psycho weapon (a knife) as early as page [[http://www.drunkduck.com/After_Lily/index.php?p=421878 4]] with very... bloody results.

** Arguably a subversion, in that she's much more therapist than psycho, to the extent that she's the trolls' TeamMom if not the [[{{OnlySaneMan}}the most level-headed of them all]]. Which may not be saying much. [[AllTrollsAreDifferent Trolls sure are weird]]. [[spoiler: She did have [[BackAlleyDoctor a pretty good reason]] for cutting off Tavros's legs.]]

** Subverted also in that, in a MythologyGag reference to ProblemSleuth, the chainsaw often turns into a tube of lipstick. [[spoiler: And then double subverted when she [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005441 coolly applies]] the lipstick, which is still covered in her chainsaw victim's blood.]]

* Not just girls, but ''ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum'' Agents in general, tend to be unbalanced. They also tend to have a thing for [[{{BFS}} pointy objects]], {{BFG}}'s, [[KillItWithFire flamethrowers]], and [[DeathRay Death Rays]].
* Don't piss WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick off. Lord MacGuffin learned this when she pointed a gun at him, and Lupa nearly got stabbed in the chest because she had Todd's "[[StalkerWithACrush affections]]".
** Elisa strangles Paw with a scarf and pokes him in the crotch (twice!) with his own dart after it accidentally hit one of her stuffed Phantom dolls.
* Jade Sinclair (Generator) of the WhateleyUniverse ''loves'' this trope. There's her cabbit... that turns into a KillerRabbit and once slaughtered around a dozen badguys in one fight. There's her Hello Kitty compact, which flies... and knives pop out of the sides to become a sinning top of doom. There's 'Spinner', which is basically a lawnmower blade spinning at high speed without the lawnmower engine or housing getting in the way. There's the big athame that she turned into a spinning blade. The railroad spikes. The bear trap. There's a reason she's on the page for CrazyAwesome.
