History Main / WrenchWench

%%* ''Manga/AirGear'' has a whole ''team'' of wrench wenches: the [[http://images.wikia.com/airgear/images/a/aa/AIR_GEAR_17_014-015.png Tool Toul To]].
* the Automotive Club from Girls Und Panzer. That is all.

* Ashley Hammond in the ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'' episode "The Turn of the Wretched Wrench". Conversely, this was the day job of her Japanese counterpart, Natsumi Shinohara from ''GekisouSentaiCarranger'': she's good enough to dismount a ''moving bike''.
** Super Sentai had another example in ''BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger'' with Ranru / [=AbareYellow=], who gave up a career as an IdolSinger to pursue her dream of becoming a mechanic.

* Tali'Zorah from ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' who's part of an alien race called the Quarians. Quarians are the whole race of incredibly skilled engineers. And even among the quarians, she is counted one of the best engineers and geth specialists.

* Keira from the ''JakAndDaxter'' trilogy. Tess is one as well, only her specialty is weaponry, not vehicles.

* Penelope from ''SlyCooper 3''; specialises in remote-controlled vehicles, so the gang try to hire her on.

* All the girls on''{{Mythbusters}}''. The most famous, Kari Byron, is actually a lighter example than the other two, being an artist by training. Scottie Chapman from the earlier seasons is a much straighter example.

* ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'' has Isara Gunther. She's also the one to first appear at a gun fight with her fathers [[TankGoodness customized heavy tank]]! Yes, a {{Moe}} tank opperator.

* Apparently TheMenThatWillNotBeBlamedForNothing love [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYZTvRgTupY a girl in goggles]]

* The ''ElfQuest'' title "Rebels" has Chandra. One example: she and Scorch take apart part of a top-secret space engine -and put it back together within twenty minutes.[[hottip:*:A military ramship is excellent motivation]]

* When Sunny Gurlukovich/[[spoiler:nee Emmerich]] first appeared in ''MetalGearSolid4'' she was a shy computer hacking expert with a NoSocialSkills and a [[SpeechImpediment slight stutter]], but by the time ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' rolls around, she's become a capable and confident engineer who helped develop the fastest suborbital thruster the world has ever seen[[hottip:*:Capable of reaching speeds in ''excess'' of '''Mach 23''']] and is actively working on a spacecraft able to make the journey to Jupiter within her guardian's lifetime.

* Dagny Taggart, the main heroine of ''AtlasShrugged'', can't live without her railroad, is not too keen on pointless parties that other rich girls go to and has a very masculine dress code.

The less objectifying version of HoodOrnamentHottie, where the woman may be dressed or posed as if she was the mechanic, but actually isn't. A subtrope of TheEngineer.

* [[StarWarsTheCloneWars Ahsoka]] has apparently taken a level of this over the course of the series' sporadic timeline; by the time of the [[PhysicalGod Mortis]] [[GodsHandsAreTied trilogy]] of episodes, she's capable of fixing a badly crashed shuttle by herself and modifying it as needed.

* Agatha Heterodyne, from ''[[Webcomic/GirlGenius Girl Genius]]'' is a perfect example of this trope, and she has only become more so as the series has progressed.

* Agatha Heterodyne, from ''[[Webcomic/GirlGenius]]'' is a perfect example of this trope, and she has only become more so as the series has progressed.

* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' gives us an unusual example, Ellie. Although she is one of the most obese characters in the game, speaking to other characters and listening to audiologs reveals that there are some poeple on Pandora who like it that way.

* Nae Aki in ''Medarot Spirits''; she never was anything near fanservicey, but, in another hand, had Ikki slightly fawning over her. Justified by the fact that she's the granddaughter of Dr. Aki, the modern Medarot inventor. Thing is, if you [[FanonDiscontinuity considers the series' existence at all]].

* Bulma from DragonBall is this. She's handy with gadgets, and, along with her father, is usually responsible for creating spaceships, as well as Trunks' time machine.

* Mary in ''TheMuppets'' is very good at working with cars and electricity.

* Although Alice has spent most of her life studying sorcery her real gift is with watches and mechanical things, including her creating [[TitleDrop The]] [[Literature/TheWitchWatch Witch Watch]].
* As both she and her father are highly ranked engineers, Laeshana from Literature/QuestOfTheUnaligned has traces of this.

* When the family starts fixing up a car for Matt in season 3 of SeventhHeaven, it's boy-crazy Lucy who is shown to be an idiot savant when it comes to cars.

* ''Borderlands 2'' gives us an unusual example, Ellie. Although she is one of the most obese characters in the game, speaking to other characters and listening to audiologs reveals that there are some poeple on Pandora who like it that way.

* Webcomic/EmergencyExit has one too, complete with WrenchWhack.

* Tex, actually, of Machinima/RedVsBlue. She's repaired Sheila at least twice, built a bomb out of spare parts (including some more ... personal items), and even upgraded her own armor ''while wearing it''. Apparently, this was part of her Freelancer training. It tends to be overshadowed by her [[BadAss repeatedly kicking everyones' asses]], though.
