%%*** To reinforce just how MamaBear Mrs Weasley can be, recall [[spoiler: fake Moody's speech to his Defence Against the Dark Arts class regarding Avada Kedavra. Specifically the part about how much rage is required to be able to cast it, and actually kill someone]].

** In ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows The Deathly Hallows]]'', shortly after [[spoiler: [[TearJerker the death of Mrs Weasley's son Fred]],]] [[TheDragon Bellatrix Lestrange]] [[TooDumbToLive makes the mistake]] of [[BerserkButton threatening Molly's daughter, Ginny.]] Cue one hell of a MamaBear CrowningMomentOfAwesome

** [[spoiler:She then proceeds to [[BeamSpam spam]] one spell: [[StunGun Stupefy.]] The kicker here? Stupefy's a spell meant only to stop, but Molly was ''so'' pissed off that when she eventually hit Bellatrix with one, it ''stunned her heart and killed her.'']]

** And [[BadassBookworm Hermione Granger.]] Nerds are scary when they're angry, particularly if they're witches. Her list including [[spoiler:punching [[TheBully Malfoy]] straight in the face, scaring the shit out of the [[BigBrotherBully Weasley twins,]] and putting Rita Skeeter under her thumb.]]
*** In ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix Order of the Phoenix]]'', she sets up Professor Umbridge to be abducted by the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest. Luckily the Potterverse centaurs behavior and culture as shown in previous appearances are very unlike their mythological counterparts, as if they were this would mean that [[spoiler: she was most likely ''raped'']], which would explain why she's in such a traumatised state afterwards. Since she's enough of a bookworm to know if this was indeed the case, one must ask... [[WhatTheHellHero What the hell, Hermione?]]

*** And when Harry finds out how horribly the Carrows treated their students, and witnesses one Carrow spit on Professor he cares about, he BatmanGrabsAGun and fires one [[AgonyBeam Cruciatus bullet]] at each offender.

---> '''Jack''': " Yah, they're dead before you're mildly annoyed"

*** In ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix Order of the Phoenix]]'', she sets up Professor Umbridge to be abducted by the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest. Assuming that Potterverse centaurs are similar to their mythological counterparts, this would mean that [[spoiler: she was most likely ''raped'']], which would explain why she's in such a traumatised state afterwards. Since she's enough of a bookworm to know if this was indeed the case, one must ask... [[WhatTheHellHero What the hell, Hermione?]]

*** The reason was that his sister Valentine couldn't pronounce Andrew.

** In the same book, Changeling Fix [[spoiler:beats the crap out of the Winter Knight Lloyd Slate with a wrench after he mortally wounds Meryl.]]

** Not only is he a [[GoodShepherd sincerely faithful]] [[SaintlyChurch man of God]], Michael is an incredibly sweet, even-tempered NiceGuy. That being said, he is also a KnightInShiningArmor who slings a badass [[CoolSword holy sword that that can rip through evil magic like it was tissue paper]]. Do not mess with Michael. ''Ever''. And ''especially'' don't [[PapaWolf threaten his family]]. This applies to all of the Knights, actually...
** On messing with Michael and his family: If they don't get you, Harry will. The line: "Fuego, Pyrofuego! ''Burn!''" comes to mind. As this was the line said by Harry as he blasted a beam of possibly soulfire enhanced flame (the fires of creation), without a focus (which is serious) through a human posessed and wielding the full power of a fallen angel. It counts even more when you realise the last part of the line was an echo of something Superman said, when he completely flipped out at Mongul and used his heat ray vision on him. This makes it even scarier.

** To put this in perspective, remember that the Aiel are a people who live by honor above all else, to the point where some kill themselves over an act of dishonor. And they view beggars as possibly THE least honorable thing to be. Perrin is basically threatening the guy with a FateWorseThanDeath. The Aiel and his companions, who are members of what's known to be the most stubborn tribe out of all the Aiel (which is REALLY saying something), cave almost immediately.

* The nicest character in the ''Literature/WheelOfTime'' is Perrin Aybara, a henpecked husband, that's basically his wife's bitch. In one memorable scene after [[spoiler:his wife has been kidnapped]] he chops off an Aiel's hand, orders an Aes Sedai to heal the stump, and then tells the Aiel that unless he talks Perrin will cut off his other hand and his feet, and then dump him into a town, so the Aiel can beg for a living. Then he walks away.

--->'''Molly Weasley''': [[spoiler:NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU ''[[PrecisionFStrike BITCH!]]'' She then proceeds to [[BeamSpam spam]] one spell: [[StunGun Stupefy.]] The kicker here? Stupefy's a spell meant only to stop, but Molly was ''so'' pissed off that when she eventually hit Bellatrix with one, it ''stunned her heart and killed her.'']]

* In ''Literature/DragonBones'', there are several examples. Lampshaded with old nobleman Haverness, who has a reputation for being honourable to a fault, very traditional, and the only one at the decadent court who takes oaths really ''seriously''. He is known to be absolutely loyal to the king. [[spoiler: Until king Jakoven makes it clear that no, he will not provide help to defend Haverness' homeland Oranstone against bandit hordes. With which he breaks ''his'' side of the oath, and frees Haverness to start a revolution.]] Haverness is a good fighter and strategist, and so is his daughter.

* ''Literature/TheWayBack'': The main hero Anna has the heart of a fighter and she can successfully beat up two strong male rapists to save a girl. Friday is a domesticated cat but he is capable to fighting back against not only small wild cats but bigger enemies too.

* In RobertAHeinlein's ''Literature/HaveSpaceSuitWillTravel'', the Mother Thing is gentle, soft spoken and eternally pleasant, with a small, frail looking body and enormous lemur like eyes. She also is fully capable of building a pair of bombs to destroy an alien base under her captors' noses and kill all of its personnel to guarantee her, Kip and Peewee's escape.

* In the ''Literature/Cut and Run'' and ''Sidewinder'' series, Kelly Abbott is the smallest and sweetest member of Team Sidewinder and is basically the baby of the team. He is also the one that every other member of Sidewinder says you don't want to piss off.

* [[Leterature/CutAndRun Kelly Abbott]] is a sweetheart. He's a medic, he works with underprivileged kids, and Nick has flat out called him {{The Heart}} of Sidewinder. He's also the member of Sidewinder none of them have beaten in a brawl, despite being the smallest, held his ground against a trained hitman, and once suggested [[ItMakesSenseInContext raiding a dead body for its liver.]]

*** Loial's CrowningMomentofAwesome (so far) is probably when he defends a group of children during a Trolloc attack. People are simple DUMBFOUNDED by his actions. If an Ogier ever tells you that he is "putting a long handle" on his axe...run...run fast.

*** She also suggested [[SixthRangerTraitor David's]] FateWorseThanDeath, being [[ShapeshifterModeLock Mode Locked]] as a rat and stranded on a small island.

* ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'': Shallan Davar is a quiet CountryMouse who blushes at questions, prefers to sit out in the gardens sketching, and runs from confrontation. However, when cornered, she turns stone-cold and is willing to do ''anything'' to survive. By the end of [[Literature/WordsOfRadiance the second book]], she has personally killed three people ([[spoiler:her mother as a child, her father years later, and her conwoman mentor Tyn]]), and ordered the deaths of at least a few dozen more.

** She also suggested [[SixthRangerTraitor David's]] FateWorseThanDeath, being [[ShapeshifterModeLock Mode Locked]] as a rat and stranded on a small island.
*** Cassie is interesting, because you don't ''have'' to get her into an UnstoppableRage to get bad results. David's fate? That was cold rationalism; she was crying as he got stuck. For another example, the fate of Visser Four's host.

*** To reinforce just how MamaBear Mrs Weasley can be, recall [[spoiler: fake Moody's speech to his Defence Against the Dark Arts class regarding Avada Kedavera. Specifically the part about how much rage is required to be able to cast it, and actually kill someone]].

** Galen himself( the real main character) counts as well- he just wanted to be done with war, and is one of the nicest guys ever- even giving up his last bit of food to an old beggar. then Rose goes missing, and he's ready, armed with magic, a gun, and pure BadAss-ery.

** And then there's Grover. He's a clumsy, {{Adorkable}} satyr most of the time...but when he needs to be, he can be incredibly {{badass}}, especially after he gets the gift of [[HellIsThatNoise panic]].

** Special mention must be made of Sam, who is a slow, unassumingly loyal every-Hobbit who kills an EldritchAbomination GiantSpider when it threatens his master. (Technically, he only gravely wounded the GiantSpider, he didn't kill it. Still, he is pretty badass.)
** The [[WhenTreesAttack Ents]]. Pacifistic keepers of the forests. Once angered, you're in trouble.

* In the ''Cut and Run'' and ''Sidewinder'' series, Kelly Abbott is the smallest and sweetest member of Team Sidewinder with hints of being the Team Mom. He is also the one that every other member of Sidewinder says you don't want to piss off.
