Definition needs clarification: Femme Fatalons

Agreed. That's why I think Louis's suggestion makes a good redirect if we're going to lump "fingernails that are long and primarily or usually weapons" in with it.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

I think they might be better off as their own trope rather than lumped in with a separate weapon type.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick

Probably, but let's get them out of the Femme Fatalons list first. Then we can see if the line between "Weapons that look like claws and extend from the back of the hand or arm, not the fingers or fingertips" "Weapons that extend from the tips or backs of the fingers, not the back of the hand or the arm" is clear enough.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

Madrugada,

Yep, from what I remember she is definitely villainous and untrustworthy.

I am sympathetic to shimaspawn's idea of making Weaponized Fingernails into their own trope since Wolverine Claws bring to mind to me something like claw weapons instead of long fingernails. In any event, I imagine that it is probably a good idea to clarify Wolverine Claws's definition anyway since it does not seem completely clear.

Then the Bionicle example should be restored and make it clear that Roddaka counts because the nails are part of what indicates that she's villainous and untrustworthy.
