Asskicking Leads To Leadership is the new name of the trope.


* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Discussed by Leena. Yes, the Amazons choose their combat leaders by skill in combat, but that's because the best warriors have to have the necessary skills to be an expert leader as well. They have to be able to read their adversaries, the field and the flow of battle, and they have to have the charisma to scare their opponents. So, goes the theory, a great warrior is also a great leader.

* LimitedWardrobe: All the sprites always wear the same thing. This is par for the course for most visual novels but it does get a bit odd for Breza; her ragged dress amd dirty face makes sense when she first encountered as a prisoner but when she still looks like that several days later one begins to wonder why no-one's offered the poor girl a bath and change of clothes.

* SexEqualsLove: Your love interests tend to assume this. If you sleep with more than one of them, they'll be very cross with you, even if there wasn't even an implied romance beforehand. You can reply that you were only having fun with them, which ends the romance.

** Sylrissa struggles with this in her romance. If you romance her and have sex with another partner, she says [[DefiedTrope she doesn't care who you have sex with as long as you only love her]] - but the PC gets the hint that they should probably not push their luck by taking her up on that.
