* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'': GenderInverted for Hugh, making him more of a "Gentleman of War". He's dressed in the fancy Yharnam Hunter Set, he's an expert marksman with an elegantly designed flintlock, the weapons he uses (a cane that can transform into a whip, a katana with BloodMagic, and a curved sword that can transform into a bow) are associated with grace, and his fighting style leans towards speedy finesse or "delicate" moves (e.g., blurs and flourishes) rather than "hack-and-smash" brute force. Despite being a {{Pollyanna}} at heart, he is perfectly capable of fighting in a composed, dignified way.

--> Hermione walked off the bus and into the hotel. She still had roughly twenty-five minutes before the luncheon, even after the crisis during the trial, and the attempted assassinations, and the post-trial meetings. She needed to change into something appropriate for the formal luncheon.\\

* As per canon, Peggy Carter in ''FanFic/ChildOfTheStorm'' is [[PosthumousCharacter mentioned]] as having been this. [[spoiler: Her daughter]] Alison is very much the same, at one point employing the JackBauerInterrogationTechnique while [[TranquilFury speaking calmly]] and drinking a cup of tea.

Add Hermione Granger and the Swiss Tournament

Added DiffLines:

* ''[[https://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-33141/DianeCastle+Hermione+Granger+and+the+Swiss+Tournament.htm#storybody Hermione Granger and the Swiss Tournament]]'': "Community" training routinely includes the ability to move in high society, look like a million dollars, mingle and network, recognize champagne vintages, and kill squads of heavily armed guards.

She also needed to prep her engagement ring and reload her dart launcher. She planned to do both of those first.

Instant Awesome Just Add Dragons is now a disambig. I moved this to a trope I thought fit better.


* ''FanFic/BloodInTheWater'' has Naomi, who is the Pokemon Champion of the Champion League--meaning that [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Blue]], [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Lance]], [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Steven]], [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Cynthia]], and [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Alder]] all report to her. She's usually seen wearing an elegant olive green gown and her hair is always done up. [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons Also, she keeps her Dragonite with her at all times.]] Even when she is usurped by [[BigBad Josh]], she still retains her composure and the civilians of Konar look to her for guidance. She actually leads the charge against the Elite Four and personally defeats two of them, [[DarkActionGirl Aubree]] [[UnholyMatrimony and]] [[TheSociopath Daniel]].

* Buffy, from ''FanFic/HeroesAndVillains'' models herself on this trope fairly successfully. She greatly enjoys her various physical powers and abilities, but she is positively obsessive about her appearance at all times, and strives to project an air of elegance and cool superiority.

** Queen Frigga is less of a warrior maiden these days, but she mentions fighting alongside one of the [[ComicBook/BlackPanther Sons of Bastet]] a few thousand years ago. She's calmly composed at almost all times, even when unleashing divine vengeance against [[spoiler: the Red Room]] for kidnapping Harry.

Added DiffLines:

* Baroness Adagio Dazzle of ''FanFic/TheRainsverse'' falls under this trope. She is a member of the Heartlands' nobility, elegant, dignified, and surprisingly skilled with her RoyalRapier. And that's before she becomes one of the Knights of Harmony.

* The ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' retelling ''FanFic/ShadowAndRose'' has one of these in Elissa, the Warden, who hails from the Human Noble origin. She's a BadassPrincess [[spoiler:and later Queen]] who behaves like a lady at all times - and has no problem kicking darkspawn ass in the same breath.

The main page for Lady Of War was becoming too long. Certain sections, like Fan Works, were removed from the main page and split into subpages.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/BloodAndHonor'': Sanguis is the Imperial equivalent of nobility and carries herself as such, striving to be self-possessed, well-mannered and gracious. Her fighting style is characterized by agility and grace rather than brute strength.
* ''FanFic/BlooodInTheWater'' has Naomi, who is the Pokemon Champion of the Champion League--meaning that [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Blue]], [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Lance]], [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Steven]], [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Cynthia]], and [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Alder]] all report to her.

She actually leads the charge against the Elite Four and personally defeats two of them, [[DarkActionGirl Aubree]] [[UnholyMatrimony and]] [[TheSociopath Daniel]].
* In ''Fanfic/CoOpMode'', Taylor ends up choosing this as a theme for her cape name, as well as playing with MedievalEuropeanFantasy as Lady Bug. However, unlike most examples of this trope, Taylor doesn't wield the usual weapons, forgoing the usual [[RoyalRapier rapier]], [[NaginatasAreFeminine naginata]] or [[CombatHandFan steel fan]] for a steel [[BatterUp bat]]. This might change in time, but as of the current chapters Taylor has stated her newfound preference for metal bats.
* The canonical Lady Assassins of the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' have become this in the fics of Creator/AAPessimal. Assassins briefly referenced in the canon have been expanded on, and OC's have joined them. While Assassins are not there to fight as conventional infantry in wars - save as a sort of Special Forces - they inescapably get involved. In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7135641/1/Let-s-bungle-in-the-jungle Let's Bungle In The Jungle]]'', one Assassin finds herself organising a Rorke's Drift style defence, and leading an assorted crew in a real stand-up battle. The Lady Assassins with her fight conventionally. But effectively.
* ''Manga/{{Evangelion 303}}'': Rei. Unlike Asuka -[[FieryRedhead that oozes passion and fierceness]]- and Mari -that is nuts-, Rei is calm, tranquil and graceful when she is piloting and fighting.
* ''FanFic/FutariWaPrettyCureDragon'' has Susan Chan, who even as Cure Fortune tends to be graceful in her fighting style.
* Buffy, from ''FanFic/HeroesAndVillains'' models herself on this trope fairly successfully. She greatly enjoys her various physical powers and abilities, but she is positively obsessive about her appearance at all times, and strives to project an air of elegance and cool superiority.
* [[SparedByTheAdaptation Kin]] in ''Fanfic/TeenageJinchurikiShinobi'' is far more graceful in combat than her fellow ActionGirl peers Sakura and Himeko. Her movement with her knives are displayed as incredibly fluid.
* The ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' retelling ''FanFic/ShadowAndRose'' has one of these in Elissa, the Warden, who hails from the Human Noble origin. She's a BadassPrincess [[spoiler:and later Queen]] who behaves like a lady at all times - and has no problem kicking darkspawn ass in the same breath.
* Princess Luna Equestris, from FanFic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11772125/1/Metroid-Kamen-Rider-Generations-Full-Series Metroid: Kamen Rider Generations]]'': Just like in every ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' game she appears, Samus is this as a whole while in battle with or without her PoweredArmor. This trope is taken even more literal when Samus constructs and equips a [[AdaptiveArmor symbiotic suit]] in the form of the [[SuperMode Athena Suit]] (click [[http://imperialdramondrmode.deviantart.com/art/Athena-Suit-Final-design-620380759 here]]). Interestingly enough, [[MeaningfulName true to the suit's name]], Samus [[SmugSuper lives up to it]] to the point where [[LikeAGodToMe she is compared to the Greek goddess of wisdom]] of the same name. Samus's response?
-->[[spoiler:'''Samus:''' In fact, [[AGodIAmNot I'm not playing God]]. All this time... I've ''been'' playing human!]][[labelnote:note]]It also doubles as a ShoutOut to ''Superior Iron Man'' #3 and the ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' episode Iron Man vs. Lex Luthor.[[/labelnote]]
* Janine from ''The Sanctuary Telepath'' is a Victorian lady - even if her actions often counted as scandalous back then, her demeanor is one of her age. She's also a graceful fighter with her long (and short) knives and a ''very'' capable telepath.
* Cassandra Pentaghast (as in [[VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition canon]]) and Victoria Trevelyan are a pair of MightyGlacier Ladies of War in ''[[Fanfic/TwiceUponAnAge All This Sh*t is Twice as Weird]]''.
