** {{Ojou}} Reina has a SiblingTeam of these as bodyguards, Shiori and Kanae, them being hunters with PoweredArmor underlays below their maid outfits. Shiori uses a gun and then switches to a Katana, while Kanae DoesNotLikeGuns and prefers the PowerFist. The two are RedOniBlueOni, with Shiroi a ConsummateProfessional and Kanae a GenkiGirl BloodKnight. How out of place their outfits are plays into a RunningGag in the series (it's an ancient tradition).

** Eventually a lot more employed by Reina's family are encountered under Reina's rival Chloe, serving as EliteMooks alongside her BattleButler servants. All of the above were RecruitedFromTheGutter to be trained and brainwashed to be fanatically loyal to their MegaCorp, which in that regard, Shiori and Kanae were judged fourth rate. Chloe employs a duo serving as EvilCounterpart to Shiori and Kanae, the (butler) Lattice, and Pamela.

* Real Ninja were by definition spies and often disguised themselves as peasants. Many ninja weapons are based on modified farm equipment. A Ninja with a job as a domestic servant is no big stretch, although the French maid outfit is pushing it -- ninja were never given the opportunity to operate in France. [[WildMassGuessing Or possibly the fact we think they weren't operating in France just shows how good they were]].
** But there is hope for literal ''Ninja Maids'', in that they could have worn the yukata-and-apron-combo like some classic Japanese maids did (such as Kohaku from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' does).
* While not as awesome as the ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed''[='=]s versions, [[TheHashshashin hashshashins]] (assassins), their real-life counterparts often disguised themselves as servants to deliver poisons or backstabs to their targets.
* Despite the trope name, the word ''Ninja'' refers exclusively to males in this line of work. Women who take up the same career path are properly called ''Kunoichi'' (pronounced ''ku-NOI-chi'') instead. However, the word Kunoichi has strong sexual connotations[[note]]translated literally it supposedly means "nine holes" referring to how women have, well, an extra hole compared to men[[/note]], so overall the older and gender-neutral word ''Shinobi'' is preferred when referring to all ninja.
* While not Ninja per se or as common as their male counterparts, in general if you were rich, you tended to attract enemies. Which meant that if you wanted to stay rich (or alive), it generally paid to have your house staff capable of doubling as home defense, including the women. The general societal obligation to defend one's employer also helped.

Her fellow maid Nanami Nanashiro seems to be this way as well, as she is also pretty handy with her [[DropTheHammer hammer]]. But she is mostly relegated to support actions, in the anime at least.

She doesn't just know kung fu -- she's ''[[ImplacableMan bloody invincible]]'', and carrying enough weaponry in her maid uniform to depopulate a small country. Considering that she used to be the infamous "Bloodhound of Florencia", the most dangerous assassin from the FARC, this adds up to a world of pain for anyone who dares mess with her master or his young son. There's also Fabiola Iglesias, Roberta's disciple and fellow maid, who may be younger and not ''as'' dark as her but [[BadassAdorable is still NOT to be trifled with]].
