* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: In ''ComicBook/WhatIf'' v2 #16, a crossover with ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, Red Sonja is beaten by Wolverine and essentially gives up and waits for him to rape her, but he walks away, disgusted by the idea and saying "Sorry, darlin', that ain't my style." Sonja is both perplexed and slightly insulted, so she follows him. After their next meeting he warms up to her, and she eventually becomes his queen.
* BatheHerAndBringHerToMe: Her first solo comic has this as the plot. King Ghannif offered her his "greatest treasure" and then said it was his bed. Oh and she had best comply or be put to death.
* BestHerToBedHer: Introduced in this run and inspired by Roy Thomas being a fan of Greek mythology with things like the story of Atlantea.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Invoked -- when Roy Thomas decided to create a DistaffCounterpart for Conan, he wanted to make her a redhead, as the established warrior women in Conan lore were Valeria (blonde) and Belit (Brunette).
* BreakoutCharacter: Red Sonja rapidly rose to become one of the most popular characters in Marvel Comics in the Seventies, not just among ''Conan the Barbarian'' fans.
* TheCakeIsALie: Due to the fact she's a woman, Sonja's employers frequently believe they can cheat her.
* CanonForeigner: Red Sonja herself when she first entered the comics and now many individuals think that Robert E. Howard created her.
* ChainmailBikini: Subverted in the earliest stories actually as she initially wore a metal cuirass.
* CombatPragmatist: Sonja has no sense of honor in battle and uses whatever methods to win as she can from stealth to trickery.
* {{Crossover}}: Red Sonja would frequently have these with Conan the Barbarian in his own comic as well as made a couple of trips to the modern age where she hung with Spider-Man.
* DistaffCounterpart: Subverted actually. According to WordOfGod, Red Sonja was actually created as a counterpart to Belit and Valeria who were unusable for various continuity reasons.
* DolledUpInstallment: Sonja's first appearance was an adaptation of Howard's non-Conan story ''The Shadow of the Vulture''.
* DramaticIrony: Roy Thomas was the creator of Red Sonja's infamous oath but had a lot of fun with it even in the earliest issues. One of these facts is the fact that Red Sonja is certainly attracted to men and desires them but she's ''not'' attracted to big burly hulks like Conan. She actually prefers soft pretty boys that could never defeat her in combat.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** Sonja's second appearance has her dancing on a tavern table to get Conan's attenton.
** Sonja's first outfit was chainmail that covered her front and hot pants. Roy Thomas said he found it weirder than the ChainmailBikini.
* EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity: The "red goddess" Scathach (known as "The Lady" in some accounts) who grants Sonja her fighting skills in the Creator/MarvelComics version of her origin.
* FaunsAndSatyrs: Sonja slaughters a temple full of AlwaysChaoticEvil ones in her second solo story.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: The very first solo story has Red Sonja dealing with this and King Ghannif.
* MercyKill: Sonja gives one of these to a Priest of Mitra that had been tortured horrifically by a bunch of satyrs.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Trollus seems to have UndyingLoyalty to the late King Ghannif but it turns out he was only upset at losing his meal ticket.
* RoyalHarem: Many of the rulers of this time keep these. Sonja often ends up trying to rescue the women of them or dumped in one of herself.
* TheTease: Amusingly, Red Sonja is this to Conan and deliberately baits him every chance she gets.
* UndyingLoyalty: Trollus seems to possess this for Pasha Ghannif.
* WarElephants: In the 1970s Marvel run, Sonja allied herself with the young ruler of kingdom whose major military strength was its war mammoths.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Red Sonja's preferred type of man as seen with Dunkin, the only time she's actually oggling and regretting her oath.
