History Main / NinjaMaid

* ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'' has two examples in the form of Schwarz and Kjera. Schwarz being the personal bodyguard and caretaker of Ceylon, and is also a highly competent sniper; Kjera is the head maid of the Saintess of Karlan, and wields the power to control ice.

* ''Fanfic/HarryAndTheShipgirls'' eventually introduces the Potter Maid Corps, a group of shipgirls who play this role at Potter Manor. The Head Maid, Ffion, especially plays this role to the hilt by being an {{Expy}} of [[VideoGame/EmbodimentOfScarletDevil Sakuya Izayoi]], [[TimeMaster powers and all]].

* [[spoiler:Mey-Rin]] from ''Manga/BlackButler'' seems pretty useless as a maid. On more than one occasion she has mixed up shoe polish for wood polish, among other things. [[BewareTheSillyOnes However, she's also an amazingly efficient sniper]]. She doesn't even use a sniping scope since she's apparently THAT far-sighted (one of the reasons she probably mixes up cleaning products). She keeps a few racks of rifles on the roof so she doesn't have to waste time reloading, and she's once seen using said rifles as pistols to take down baddies. [[{{Catchphrase}} But of course, it is only natural that a servant of Phantomhive would be able to do that.]]

* In the opening episode of ''LightNovel/PhantomOfInferno'', Ein runs around killing people in a French maid outfit.

* Hazuki Sakurazaka of ''LightNovel/HarukaNogizakasSecret'', who is capable of {{roofhopping}} and knocking men out, and if that's not enough, she still has her {{chainsaw|Good}} on her repertoire. Her fellow maid Nanami Nanashiro seems to be this way as well, as she is also pretty handy with her [[DropTheHammer hammer]].
%%* Burent from ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' is a literal example.
* Charlotte Dunois and Laura Bodewig in ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos''. In one episode, they get a job in a maid cafe, with Laura dressing up as a maid, while Charlotte gets a butler uniform, despite having a life desire to BE a maid for Ichika, the main protagonist. Oh, and Laura is a SuperSoldier from the German Army and Charlotte was also extensively trained in combat. Sucks to be the StupidCrooks that decided to break into that same cafe, on their very first day.

%%* Eneus in ''LightNovel/MagiciansAcademy''. More than that, she's a [[LittleBitBeastly dog girl]] ninja maid.

* The Pleiades from ''LightNovel/{{Overlord|2012}}'' are all [[HumanoidAbomination seemingly harmless maids]] who all have their own skills and abilities to kill their enemies in a variety of ways. They were Nazarick's last line of defense. And nobody ever went that far. That said, they only dress like maids, and only one of them can cook.

* ''VideoGame/DuskDiver'': Bette from Dusk Diver 2. She wears a regular french maid outfit, takes care of her master and uses a [[SinisterScythe big scyth]] to fight enemies. No ninja moves though.

** [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Misery and Rain]] are the two personal maids of True Demon Lord [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Guy Crimson]]. They're also the [[MonsterProgenitor Primordial Demons Green and Blue respectively]] who are each as strong as the average True Demon Lord (who can easily destroy countries and even ''continents'' on their lonesome) themselves. The reason they're maids in the first place is because Guy, the Primordial Red, [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking kicked their asses so thoroughly in the distant past they swore to serve him since]].

* Various mobile RPG games by Kemco have a habit of including the recurring character Maidame Curie as a BonusBoss and as a supporting character (Especially if you're going for the TrueEnding), and in most (but not all) appearances, she's the strongest one in the game, and if she isn't, her OneWingedAngel form(s) will be.

* Any and all Otome in ''Anime/MyOtome''. Want to know just how much? Originally the show was going to be called ''Mai-✩[=MAiD=]''.

* Sayoko Shinozaki from ''Anime/CodeGeass'', whose true badassitude is revealed mid-second season (as shown in the page image). According to the audio commentaries, there was an in-joke among the staff about Sayoko somehow secretly being "the strongest character" during production of the first season, and by the time of R2 the series creators [[AscendedFanon liked the idea enough to make it canon by turning her into a ninja maid.]] Technically denied by herself. When Rolo calls her a ninja, she corrects him and calls herself an SP - a reference to Japan's Police division dedicated to bodyguard duties, itself heavily based on the American Secret Service. She just happens to have weapons similar to those a ninja would use.

* With the right DLC, you can make one of these in the [[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soulcalibur IV]] and ''Soul Calibur V'' character creator.

[[caption-width-right:350:Don't mess with the [[FanNickname Sayocopter.]]]]

* ''Series/{{Lucifer|2016}}'': The bartender of Lucifer's club is Mazikeen, aka Maze, his most faithful demon and his chief torturer when they were still in Hell. She's technically his bodyguard even though he's NighInvulnerable, and whenever someone needs to be beaten up, Lucifer lets her handle it. [[OneManArmy Even if that means fighting off an entire street gang by herself]].

* In "Exposed", an episode of the British sci-fi series ''Series/{{UFO}}'', Paul Foster makes a threatening move towards Dr. Jackson and finds himself caught in a judo hold by his beautiful Oriental servant. Jackson then coolly remarks: "Yes Mr. Foster, things are not always what they seem."

** They're also in the ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow'' duology, and their vacuums are their soul power. And they can be used to catch the skirts of Student Witches or the Persephones themselves. But those are more of the Kung Fu Maids.

** From the Eleventh Doctor episodes [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E7AGoodManGoesToWar "A Good Man Goes to War"]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33CiNTheGreatDetective "The Great Detective"]], [[Recap/DoctorWho2012CSTheSnowmen "The Snowmen"]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E11TheCrimsonHorror "The Crimson Horror"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E13TheNameOfTheDoctor "The Name of the Doctor"]] we get Jenny Flint ([[NamesTheSame no]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E6TheDoctorsDaughter not that one]]), the lesbian [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana-wielding]] maid of her lover, the [[InterspeciesRomance Silurian]] Madame Vastra, [[BattleCouple who is also good with swords]].

* Sandman of ''Anime/{{Gravion}}'' has an enormous medieval castle [[MaidCorps filled with maids]]. [[TheyFightCrime Some of them pilot]] HumongousMecha for him. At least one is a ninja.

->''"A maid who works and lives in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She does a maid's duty perfectly: cooking, cleaning, washing, babysitting, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick knife throwing,]] etc."''

* Antonia's maids in ''LightNovel/CatPlanetCuties'' are more like a private army. They are versed in hand-to-hand combat, stealth, are very well armed, and even have military-trained snipers working in their ranks.

* ''The Melancholy of LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'':
** It's heavily implied that the agency member Mori Sonou from is one of these. Though technically she only pretends to be a maid as part of her cover. She demonstrates her true badass colors in ''Manga/HaruhiChan'' but considering the series' GagSeries status...

* Charlotte Dunois and Laura Bodewig in ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos''. In one episode, they get a job in a maid cafe, with Laura dressing up as a maid, while Charlotte gets a butler uniform, despite having a life desire to BE a maid for Ichika, the main protagonist. Oh, and Laura is a SuperSoldier from the German Army and Charlotte was also extensively trained in combat. Sucks to be the StupidCrooks that decided to break into that same cafe, on their very first day.

* ''LightNovel/ReZero'': Rem and Ram, the twin maids of Roswaal's mansion. They're dutiful if snarky maids while doing their day job, but when the gloves come off any unfortunate offenders are reminded that their secondary duty is to defend the mansion to their deaths, and they have the skills to back it up - Ram is a powerful [[BlowYouAway wind mage]], while Rem is quite deadly while wielding an EpicFlail that's bigger than her head. [[spoiler: It helps that they're both {{Oni}} with innate magic powers and skills, and Ram used to be even ''more'' powerful before her horn was cut off.]]

* Luciene and Marianne, Ryoko's maids directly imported from France in ''Literature/TheCaseFilesOfYakushijiRyoko''. The former is a genius hacker, while the latter is a weapons specialist. Both kick ''copious'' amounts of ass.

%%* Eneus in ''LightNovel/MagiciansAcademy''. More than that, she's a [[LittleBitBeastly dog girl]] ninja maid.

* Hazuki Sakurazaka of ''LightNovel/HarukaNogizakasSecret'', who is capable of {{roofhopping}} and knocking men out, and if that's not enough, she still has her {{chainsaw|Good}} on her repertoire. 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.

* Supreme ruler Petrarca's maids in ''LightNovel/OutbreakCompany'' are all [[OurElvesAreDifferent elven]] [[MagicKnight battle-mages]] that double as her [[BodyguardBabes bodyguards]]. Said bodyguards are capable of defeating even special forces.

* The Pleiades from ''LightNovel/{{Overlord}}'' are all [[HumanoidAbomination seemingly harmless maids]] who all have their own skills and abilities to kill their enemies in a variety of ways. They were Nazarick's last line of defense. And nobody ever went that far. That said, they only dress like maids, and only one of them can cook.
** Special mention to Solution whose specialty includes "Assassin", "Master Assassin" and "Poison Maker" and whose highest stat is Agility. She is a literal ninja maid.

* Burent from ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' is a literal example.

* The Demon Queen's Head Maid in ''LightNovel/{{Maoyu}}'' is almost as well-versed in magic and combat as her mistress. To her, the Way of the Maid is considered a noble calling, on pair with chivalry. Though it's partly because she learned about it from reading books, possibly light novels.
* The Maid in ''LightNovel/SoImASpiderSoWhat'' is the most powerful combat goddess in existence and is almost impossible to even be aware of as she is able to ''kill'' her own presence. As for why she's dressed like a maid? It's just a hobby.
* ''LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'':
** [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Misery and Rain]] are the two personal maids of True Demon Lord [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Guy Crimson]]. They're also the [[MonsterProgenitor Primordial Demons Green and Blue respectively]] who are each as strong as the average True Demon Lord (who can easily destroy countries and even ''continents'' on their lonesome) themselves. The reason they're maids in the first place is because Guy, the Primordial Red, [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking kicked their asses so thoroughly in the distant past they swore to serve him since]].
** True Demon Lord [[spoiler:[[VampireMonarch Luminous Valentine]]]] likes to [[KingIncognito dress up and act the part of a maid]] on a whim. She's also several thousands of years old and a part of that "country-smashing and continent-wrecking" club.
* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'':
** {{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 high tech Katana, while Kanae DoesNotLikeGuns and prefers the PowerFist. The two are RedOniBlueOni, with Shiori 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.

** ''[[Roleplay/FireEmblemOnForumsWonderfulBlessing Wonderful Blessing]]'': Two examples; 42-1, a {{Homunculus}} who was created as a servant and wields one of the very few firearms in the entire setting, and Rena, a [[ReincarnateInAnotherWorld Revivian]] who was stuck in the form of [[LightNovel/ReZero Rem]], including her clothing and is equally capable of smashing things to bits with her EpicFlail or healing her allies.

* In ''LightNovel/ProblemChildrenAreComingFromAnotherWorldArentThey'', Leticia Draculea is a powerful vampire knight who got captured by the rival community Perseus and was saved by the titular problem children. They want her to become their maid which she gladly accepts - after all she was spared a FateWorseThanDeath as a SexSlave thanks to them. This has the added bonus that not many people would suspect her (being a maid) to actually BE Leticia but rather a look-alike and doubly gives the advantage of having a good reason to have her around at all times.

* Manga/AkameGaKill. ''Akame Ga Kill Zero'' has the the Oarburghs, an entire organisation of assassins dresssed like maids led by Merraid Oarburgh.

May or may not develop a BodyguardCrush on her master, be they male or [[HoYay female]]. If said master is [[JustAKid very young]] or [[IllGirl sickly]], she might tend to be their MamaBear as well.

* Normally the maid in the {{ecchi}} OVA ''Labyrinth of Flames'' is a [[CuteClumsyGirl klutzy]] IllGirl... but if you force the contents of her IV into her arm, she briefly turns into the ultimate ninja.

* Shae from ''Series/GameOfThrones''. In [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire the books]], camp follower Shae plays up her ingénue appearance, and while she works as a maid, she has little insight into what's really going on around her. However, the TV series [[AdaptationalBadass changes this significantly]]; she's still a handmaiden (and whore), but she's also very adept at lying, has a good eye for what makes people tick (and how to exploit it), and is a bit of a KnifeNut. She goes out of her way to protect Sansa Stark several times while she's in her care, chasing down and threatening another handmaiden at knife-point and even staring down Sandor Clegane and Ilyn Payne, both trained killers nearly twice her size.

* One of the characters in ''Film/RainingInTheMountain'' is a lay Buddist scholar with a retinue of attractive women who [[TooImportantToWalk carry his palanquin]], ostensibly to show he's immune to the pleasures of the flesh. The thief White Fox thinks he's just an old lecher with a harem, but these same women turn up at the climax of the movie to capture White Fox.

* Hayasaka from ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar''. She can- and ''has needed to''- flip over security lasers, maintain multiple alter egos, and find blackmail material.
