Line #1 Awesome/SpiceAndWolf


1	* Each time Holo's true form makes an appearance, something awesome (and terrifying) is about to happen:
2	** Curbstomping the thugs during the Silver Devaluation arc.
3	** The showdown during the Bankruptcy arc.
4	*** Both times proceeded with some chilling actions as a harbinger for what's to come. The first time, Holo calmly interrupts Lawrence's last stand and drinks blood from his arm. The second time, Holo gives a speech showing that she takes the harm done to Lawrence ''very'' personally, and if he didn't forbid it she'd be eating very well soon. Both involve death glares and copious amounts of tranquil fury.
5	** In the "Rising Sun" arc, a mercenary company that Lawrence was trying to negotiate with betray the ceasefire, jam a knife into his leg, and try to take him prisoner. Unfortunately for the mercenaries, Holo was ready for this, and she is ''not'' happy. Yet rather than charge the soldiers head on, she starts pulling trees from the ground like weeds and chucks several tons of pine at the soldiers from half a mile away. She then uses all the powdered snow that was thrown into the air by her impromptu artillery barrage to close in on the scattered and panicking troops without being seen, showing astonishing stealth for something so big. The only thing worse than a massive wolf that can destroy you with ease is [[BrainsAndBrawn one that is smart about it]].
6	* When Holo spots a mercenary captain carrying a massive wolf's claw, she wastes no time in demanding where he got it from. The mercenary, taken aback, draws his sword and holds it to her throat in one swift movement. Holo doesn't even flinch, and makes it abundantly clear that she is not going to let the matter drop. Without revealing her true form, or giving any hint of her divine origins, she stares down a grizzled solder of fortune as a short petite maiden... and it's the man who eventually relents.
7	* Lawrence [[OutGambitted out-gambitting]] others also tends to be awesome, as does the occasional times he gets physical:
8	** Talking the Milone Trading Company into assisting with Holo's rescue.
9	*** Narrowly dodged a knife slash, punched out one guy after Holo bit said guy's arm, got stabbed by another, then turned around and [[GroinAttack knocked him out]] despite this wound, and threw in a BondOneLiner too. He may avoid violence whenever possible, but he's perfectly capable when it comes to that.
10	** Twisting the arm of a crooked merchant (who tried to cheat him) into a better deal.
11	** The conclusion of the bankruptcy arc where he succeeds in voiding his debt and then names the terms of a new deal with his former debtor. And before that, when their betrayer companion reveals everything, saying Lawrence would understand since he's a merchant, said man punches him in the face with the statement [[ShutUpHannibal "I am nothing like you!"]]
12	** In the Pyrite arc, Lawrence crashes a miniature economy to win back his girlfriend. More impressive is Holo managing both him and Amarti to achieve the outcome she wanted. Lawrence's self-doubt made it harder for her because he missed certain cues.
13	* Nora's reaction to seeing Holo's CanisMajor form is the same as any mundane wolf; point her staff and shout "Enek, go!"
