Like the Old Master, the Cute Bruiser is a living, breathing, and frequently painful lesson in never judging a book by its cover. She appears to be a kid, but in battle she fights like a bruiser. Bruisers tend to melee combat focused on punches and blocks. Traditional bruisers are large husky men who win fights due to their size and strength allowing them to both absorb and put out heavy damage. This contrast between appearance and combat style is what makes the character surprising. The Cute Bruiser's Weapon Specialization will probably be Good Old Fisticuffs, a club, a hammer, or martial arts that focus on direct blows to your opponent instead of pressure points or judo throws. They'll only rarely be using a bladed weapon (unless it's a BFS of some variety) or depending on projectile weapons, with the exception of throwing heavy objects. When confronted with a locked door, her likely solution is to just smash it open. In short, she deals out the blunt trauma very well. The Cute Bruiser also has some tanking abilities. She is not a Glass Cannon who depends on dodging. (Dodging is acceptable behavior, but a Cute Bruiser can take a blow if needed, and so doesn't depend on it.) At the end of a fight, expect her to be covered in bruises and scratches, but still with a smile on her face (assuming the fight was won). She might even be Rock steady, hitting like a Mighty Glacier, and standing like a Stone Wall. Might have Super-Strength as justification. She is usually The Big Guy in a Five-Man Band, a common subversion of the usual traits associated with that character type. Personality-wise, she can vary quite a bit. She might be a Boisterous Bruiser, she could share some traits with a Little Miss Snarker, or she may just stick with the apparent contradiction of an innocent Cheerful Child who can mix it up in a bar fight. If she is affiliated with a powerful villain, expect to see just how someone with her appearance got to that position. Almost always a Pint-Sized Powerhouse. Possibly a Super-Strong Child, in which case she may be a Glacier Waif. When she works out enough, she can evolve into an Amazonian Beauty; a Cute Bruiser typically has toned muscles, but her muscles are always on the leaner side. If she retains her cute looks well into adulthood, even after she becomes a mother, she becomes an Action Mom. When past the age of cuteness she usually disappears as a character before re-emerging in old age as a case of Never Mess with Granny. If she deliberately plays up the "cute" aspect to get people to drop their guard, this can overlap with The Fake Cutie. Despite what this entry may suggest, this is not an Always Female trope; a young boy who can punch far above his weight would also qualify. Super-Trope to Girly Bruiser. Overlaps with Badass Adorable, Little Miss Badass, and Small Girl, Big Gun (when firearms are present). Compare Child Mage and Waif-Fu, which have a similar contrast between appearance and combat effectiveness, but using a different combat style. Contrast with the Lady of War, who is elegant in combat. Also compare Kicking Ass in All Her Finery when the Cute Bruiser is not only kicking ass, but doing so in her most opulent clothing. |

Luisa from Sho-shan y la Dama Oscura. She's described as a 15 years old girl, with curly blonde hair, dressed in a Lolita fashion and even that she knows how to defend herself. Add the fact than when she was 4 years old she managed to escape from an hospital with her sister, attacking a lot of doctors on the process. | |

In the Mistborn trilogy, Vin, who is barely over five feet tall is one of the most powerful of the titular Mistborn, including the use of pewter which gives her super stamina and strength. This is often used to her advantage, as her opponents are less likely to see her as a threat. Although, surprisingly, the drawbacks of being so petite are also commented on and even shown. Because Pewter scales with physical strength, Vin is nowhere near as strong as a person with comparable allomantic ability and a larger build. Also, her speed is negated if she is forced to grapple and her short stature also limits her reach. |

One of the sample Powers in Nobilis is Rook Catchfly, the Power of Eternity, who is stuck forever at ten years old. She's a cheerful type who loves showing people how beautiful the world is. She's also Aspect 4 in a system where peak human physical and mental capability is Aspect 2, and her Tarot card in third edition specifies that it's probably a good idea to be polite to all little girls you meet until you're certain they can't bludgeon the Marine Corps into unconsciousness with a bear while outsmarting Stephen Hawking. | |

The Gunslinger Hero: Flintlock: Ochako has started to turn into this, when during the USJ, she was given a shotgun with capture rounds that she used to great effect, even hitting someone with it as a literal bat. She really turns into one during the Sports Festival’s second event, Ochako takes an extreme liking to one of the opponents’ weapons, based on an Electrohammer from Star Wars. She uses the weapon to great effect after stealing it from that opponent. | |

RWBY: In a World of Action Girls, there were bound to be a couple of these. The main protagonist, Ruby Rose, is the youngest member of the main cast at 15. She's about half the size of her weapon, which is a scythe/sniper rifle combo she designed herself. She's also more passionate about weapons than people. Nora Valkyrie is this and Girly Bruiser. She's a Genki Girl with a heart motif who almost never stops grinning, even when told she's at risk of dying. Her weapon is as unsubtle as she is; a grenade launcher/hammer combo which, like Ruby's weapon, can propel her through the air. The grenades it fires also have hearts on them. The one character who fits the spirit of this trope most is actually Yang Xiao Long, Ruby's older half-sister. She's a Lightning Boisterous Bruiser who uses a boxing-like style augmented by wrist gauntlets with incendiary shotguns built into them. She's not the brightest or most graceful fighter in the world but her immense strength and ferocity in combat are usually more than enough to get the job done. That is not all: if her hair gets damaged in any way, her standard response is to activate a Super Mode where her eyes flash red and she becomes even stronger, faster and crazier in battle. She's also the Team Mom of RWBY and the resident Ms. Fanservice along with Pyrrha Nikos. |

The titular character of Tsumugu Logic, an 18-year old teen who normally doesn't get aggressive and is generally a pleasant person to have around, is shown to be capable to overpower three trained guards all by himself. The one who sent them visibly shows surprise at that, and the visual novel style doesn't quite let us see what exactly goes down, but the description says enough. It should also be mentioned that his family has a vague relation to crime to begin with. | |

Karrin Murphy from The Dresden Files. Despite being five-nothing, blonde and adorable, she can chip a man's molar with one punch. There's nothing supernatural about her strength, though, as she's been studying aikido since she was eleven. The Denarian Tessa fits this trope — when she's not a disgusting half-mantis demon. Absolutely, Tessa. The Fey Ladies, the youngest of the Three Queens, are pretty, young women with the third largest punch of their court, Summer or Winter. YMMV on Maeve, though. Ivy, the Archive. Several members of the White Council are under the belief that she has the power equal to one of the Faerie Queens. It's heavily implied that they are severely underestimating her. Warden Commander Luccio, the senior-most combat wizard in existence, considers Harry this. She also counts as this, once she is trapped in the body of a cute twenty-something co-ed. |

Paul of With Strings Attached always was known as the Cute Beatle. He doesn't look particularly strong either, having lost some weight during his “depression era.� But given that he once lifted an estimated 90 tons of solid rock statue.... He's not much of a bruiser, since he won't actually hit anything that's alive. Though he came close once. |

Given the free form nature of character creation, it's easy to build such a character in Mutants & Masterminds.

Halflings and Gnomes might lack the above-mentioned feat in Dungeons & Dragons, but that still doesn't prevent their womenfolk from being cute or capable of smashing people in the face. Especially in 4th edition, where they lack the traditional Strength penalties that prevent them from being good at melee classes — halflings, with their Dexterity bonus, actually make pretty good Bare Fisted Monks. | |

In both Vampire: The Masquerade and Vampire: The Requiem, vampires don't age after being turned. So, in theory, if someone was Embraced four hundred years ago as an eleven-year-old girl, she could have all the awesome might of the most powerful vampire elders and look quite harmless. Similarly, it's noted in a few supplements that due to nutrition, most people were much shorter than modern average a long time ago, so that "short" vampires accorded respect by vampires you believe to be stronger than you should be afforded every courtesy... | |

The KanColle / Halo crossover For Earth And Her Colonies has its main character UNSC Harvest, despite the actual vessel being twice as long as an Iowa-class battleship and with an overall armor scheme thicker than the front face of Yamato's main battery turrets. However, because shipgirls themselves are spiritual constructs, and Harvest considers herself a frigate, the result is a girl no taller than a normal destroyer who can take on the Biggest Bads of the setting with ease. | |

Downplayed in Cassandra Kresnov. Sandy and other GIs are shorter than average, and Sandy explains that combat myomer doesn't handle well in large volumes - if she were a foot taller, she'd suffer chronic tension and be unable to control her own strength. | |

Nako, who appears in all but one Free RPG Day Starfinder adventure so far. Party tank, ship's gunner, obscenely high Strength score, totes a weapon bigger than she is, goes around geared up like a Space Marine? Yes to all of the above. She's also a three-foot-tall, candy-apple-red skittermander. | |

My Hero School Adventure Is All Wrong As Expected: Komachi's Quirk, Homomorphic Chimerization, allows her cells to copy any enhancements made to a person's body by their Quirk as long as it doesn't change her basic body shape. By the time the story has started, she's copied so many her bones are like titanium and her skin is as tough as Kevlar. To paraphrase Hachiman, she's a "T-Rex squeezed into the body of a little girl". However, she has no control over the process, so she suffered many cases of Sensory Overload throughout her childhood as her sight and hearing and even tastebuds suddenly changed from day to day. | |

Sally Kimball of the Encyclopedia Brown books, a 10-year-old known to be the prettiest girl and best athlete in her grade, who can beat up any guy, any size; hence, she's the bodyguard of the titular Non-Action Guy. A similar character named Mary Evans appears in Sobol's Secret Agents Four. |

Hanala Jarva of the Uplifted series certainly qualifies. She is small, pretty and inexperienced. Yet she will not hesitate to kill anything that harms her crew, or her later lover Joachim Hoch. It's telling when a disenchanted Waffen SS Officer is the least violent member of the couple. | |

Ohtori Chihaya, in Rewrite, looks like your average high-school girl (albeit quite adorable). She also can lift more than six times your average adult male's lift capacity, without breaking a sweat. And walk out of several falls that would cause anyone else serious injury. | |

Alexa Bliss' original Face gimmick is that of a Plucky Girl who loves glitter and sparkles. She proved very popular with younger fans and became a Token Wholesome, but pulls a Face–Heel Turn to become Hotter and Sexier. Once she returns to being a Face years later, Alexa is given a Closet Geek character. | |

This Bites! gives us Conis from Skypiea, who manages to acquire Super-Strength due to oxygen saturation (since she used to live at a much higher altitude). While she can duke it out in close combat when needed, she's actually a gunner, so she puts the strength to a different use: leisurely carrying enough guns to lay waste to an entire island. | |

Child of the Storm has Diana, who is a Pretty Princess Powerhouse - small enough at 12 (prior to a growth spurt) to be snuggled teddy-bear style by the admittedly very tall Carol, quite petite, and lady-like... and also a young Wonder Woman and adept practitioner of Pankration, who takes out one of the Mabdhara in one blow at the Battle of London. For context, it previously took an orbital strike from targeted space-junk, being rammed by the Tumbler at about 1/3 the speed of sound and then hit with its demolition charges, and finally, having the main Chicago power-line channelled into its innards by Harry Dresden to take one out, that's pretty impressive - especially since this one is implied to be more powerful. | |
