No Badass to His Valet	comment	Archetypical tough guys and anti-heroes often give off an aura of authority and attitude around them, a countenance that gives even the most courageous individuals feelings of doubt and fear; a warning to all to treat the character with caution. As a result, these characters are apt to intimidate anyone they meet into doing what they want, whether it be doing their bidding or merely just leaving them alone. But for every intimidating loner, there's one person on whom their gruff exterior will have no effect. It could be because this person knows who they're dealing with personally, and, thus, doesn't really take their glares and threats seriously. It could also be because they're so innocent and upbeat that they don't even consider the loner's threatening exterior to be threatening. Whatever the case, they refuse (knowingly or otherwise) to be intimidated. Sister Trope to No Hero to His Valet. Compare Somebody Doesn't Love Raymond, and Familial Chiding.

No Badass to His Valet / int_1215a23d	comment	Genshin Impact: The Raiden Shogun is the Electro Archon and Inazuma's patron deity, worshipped, respected and sometimes feared alike by everyone in the island... except for the head priestess Yae Miko, who is perhaps the only person who will happily and openly disparage or tease the Shogun without fear of punishment. In fact, on one instance, Miko does this in front of the Tenryou Commission (which includes the Shogun's Number Two, Kujou Sara). Miko additionally criticizes the real Raiden Shogun, Ei herself, over her self-imposed exile and the damaging national policies she set forth before locking herself from the outside world. It helps that she is Ei's Only Friend.

He had absolutely no fear of him and it's heavily implied that it was because he had no fear he was able to reign in Mikoto from losing himself to his power. Needless to say, him dying really sucked for Mikoto and HOMRA. To the point that Mikoto only lived 12 days after Totsuka was killed before finally dying by Suicide by Cop after getting revenge by killing Totsuka's murderer.

Raven the Perpetual Frowner in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade actually shows up as an enemy unit. His supports often note his mean looks and terse demeanor... except for his sister Priscilla, who's required to get him to make a Heelâ€“Face Turn, and his childhood friend Lucius, who's a religious monk. Fire Emblem Fates has Elise, the cheerful youngest royal of Nohr who not only brings out the softer sides of her badass older siblings but manages to talk Ryoma into making cute flower crowns with her in their supports. In the Revelation route, she manages to persuade Benny and Charlotte to join the Avatar's side by telling them how much she admires their positive qualities.

No Badass to His Valet / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: Despite being a Muggle, Bulma is perfectly willing to push around anyone; even Vegeta, to the point of getting him into wearing a pink shirt. Naturally, they wind up married and having two children together. Bulma also becomes much more informal in her interactions to Beerus and Whis, the God of Destruction and his attendant, through the course of Dragon Ball Super. So much so that she can complain to them (usually for good reason) and treat them relatively rudely with impunity, despite Beerus having a notoriously short temper and Bulma having been afraid of him initially. Speaking of Whis, he has absolutely no trouble needling his boss and being brutally honest about his poor decisions. It helps that he's actually stronger than Beerus and part of his job is keeping Beerus in line. Goku may be the greatest fighter in the universe, but he's a Henpecked Husband to his wife Chi-Chi. Lampshaded by Master Roshi: Lampshaded again in Dragon Ball Super when Goten notes his mom must be the most powerful woman in the world to be able to make his dad get a job. Somewhat explained that both of these ladies have strong personalities on their own. Both Chichi and Bulma may not be strong fighters (well, Chichi compared to the Z-Fighters, but she is a martial artist), but they have such strong force of will, Goku and Vegeta pretty much listen to them always. Vegeta explains that Saiyans are naturally attracted to strong people. Piccolo's reaction to this revelation is This Explains So Much.

The people who know him, and his son in particular, know that while his skills are pretty much head and shoulders above anyone else, he is also moody, whimsical, ill-disciplined, prone to goofing off and has a bizarre fascination for food combinations that Man Was Not Meant To Know.

No Badass to His Valet / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: Reformed Gentleman Thief Moist Von Lipwig has his Love Interest Adora Bell "Spike" Dearhart. Part of the reason he was attracted to her in the first place was because she wasn't fooled by him. In his second book, he's taken up needlessly dangerous pastimes to make up for the normality of his life, while she's away on an archaeological dig; Lord Veternari notes that it seems he doesn't need to do that when his fiancÃ©e is around. Having grown up as Death's adopted daughter, Ysabell was utterly unintimidated BY HIS VOICE. His granddaughter, Susan, acts much the same way, as does his actual valet Albert. Albert is a bit of an odd case, though, in that he is terrified of death; he just doesn't find the anthropomorphic personification of it all that worrisome. In fairness to Albert, he's been living on about three months of life for the past 2,000 years and is now downnote largely due to an incident involving having his 'lifetimer' actually on his person when an "accident" happened to about ten seconds. According to his own words, Albert isn't afraid of death itself but the fact that once he dies all the supernatural contracts he made in life will be due for payment, and he will suffer a nameless fate in the Dungeon Dimensions.

Everyone, even Ron and Hermione, has no idea how to deal with Harry when his temper gets the better of him (namely, due to reaching his limit at everything that's going on). Ginny though coolly and calmly defuses him. Certainly adds a good depth to when they end up together. Similarly, one of the reasons why Harry Potter keeps Luna Lovegood in such regard is that she treats him as Harry, the person, and not Harry, the hero, and always tells him the truth as she sees it.

When he tells Kincade, his family's gamekeeper, to get himself out of danger before The Siege, Kincade refuses and calls him a "jumped up little shit." Played With. While testing out the guns, he is visibly surprised at James' skill with the gun before asking "What did you say you did for a living again?"; while he does view James like he always has, he seems unaware that James has become one of the most valuable and dangerous agents of Britain. Also applies to Q from Skyfall onward. He has no problem chewing Bond out for not returning gadgets in one piece and doesn't think twice about snatching said weapons out of Bond's very deadly hands. Meanwhile, Professional Killer Bond doesn't give him more than a raised eyebrow and grin of mild amusement. This was often the case in the original series as well from Goldfinger onwards.

But not Rachel Wallace, an author he worked with at one point. Nor his constant companion Susan Silverman.

The latter is a Reality Warper (though she doesn't know it) and, as a result, incredibly self-centered and obnoxious. Hyper-advanced aliens and entire organizations of time-travellers/psychics are afraid to provoke her or not fulfill her every whim, lest she destroy the universe. Kyon, a stubborn but otherwise Ridiculously Average Guy, increasingly refuses to put up with Haruhi's bullshit...and it works. She actually listens to him and becomes much less of a danger to the universe thanks to his influence, partly because she has a crush on him.

He isn't intimidated by ghostly Barrow Wights, he isn't affected by the One Ring, and he seems completely unaware of Sauron's impending assault on Middle-Earth. Even Tolkien himself didn't quite know who or what Tom was. In The Silmarillion, Melkor is the most powerful being ever created; of all the Valar, however, Tulkas has absolutely no fear of him and is the only one of them who can defeat Melkor one-on-one.

No Badass to His Valet / int_8125b468	comment	Batman is The Dreaded to the Wretched Hive of Gotham City, but there are a couple people who can personally revoke this status. The Trope Codifier is Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne's faithful retainer, friend, and one-man support system. As the man who was given custody of Bruce Wayne after his parents were murdered, he is absolutely immune to Batman's intimidation, one of the few who can unflinchingly confront him to his face if need be, and is the first to deflate him when he gets too obsessive. Alfred is one of the few people Batman has complete faith in, and, in fact, he doesn't even try (or even desire to try) to control Alfred (beyond the whole butler/employer relationship they have, which is... complicated) the way he keeps absolute control over the rest of his world. Alfred Pennyworth is afraid of no one. Being a former SAS commando can do that to you. He is the only Batfamily member with the balls to confront Batman about his poor treatment of family members. His manipulation of Stephanie Brown, his abandonment of Cassandra Cain, his terrible fathering of Damian; three of the most badass heroes there are, who rarely even stand up for themselves to Bruce. Alfred does it regularly. Dick Grayson is unafraid of Batman and this is pointed out in a couple of issues but even he had to "go his own way" as Nightwing. Alfred sticks around. Oracle/Barbara Gordon does particularly regarding his poor treatment of Cassandra. See Dylan Horrocks' run on Batgirl, particularly #47-50, and the end/aftermath of War Games. Green Lantern Hal Jordan doesn't take any fear-mongering from Batman. While Batman wields fear as a weapon the Green Lanterns are all about defying it (the requirement for being selected as a Lantern is literally being "one without fear").

Every rider is a monster killing Person of Mass Destruction that can often be countered only by other riders or by throwing even more monsters on the battlefield. Sometimes secondary or tertiary riders are also given that sort of attention.

All three of them manage to successfully browbeat and intimidate scores of other characters. But none of them scare or intimidate their younger brother, Tyrion Lannister, who always seems to know just what to say to utterly gobstop his family and cause their intimidation techniques to look like childish tantrums. This trope also applies to the relationship between Stannis Baratheon and Davos Seaworth. While Stannis' other subjects kiss up to him and flatter, Davos speaks honestly to Stannis even if it means telling Stannis something he doesn't want to hear. Rather than punishing Davos, Stannis promotes him to higher positions in his court.

Yet there is one man not afraid of him. That man...is Buggy the Clown. Despite the huge gap between their abilities, it's just like old times when they were apprentice pirates together as far as he's concerned. Luffy's entire crew is this to him. The world sees Luffy as a dangerous pirate with massive amounts of potential and one of the frontrunners to become Pirate King. His crew sees him as their idiot captain who wouldn't last five minutes in the Grand Line, let alone the New World, without them because of his recklessness and outright stupidity. Zoro is of a similar standing. To the world: an insane Blood Knight with a dangerous amount of potential who is second to one of the most powerful pirates on the Grand Line. To his crew? A complete meathead who is capable of getting lost in a straight hallway and is only marginally smarter than their reckless idiot of a captain.

Her replacement, Deborah Fiderer is intimidated by him at first (she screws up her job interview so badly that the President thinks it must be a prank), but eventually becomes acclimated to the point where she's able to make rather biting jokes at his expense to his face. The president's "Body Man", Charlie Young, was also quite immune to the president when the Chief Executive tried to be intimidating... except when it came to Charlie's dating the president's daughter. Of course, during those occasions he wasn't dealing with the president per se; during those occasions, he was dealing with a father who didn't want his daughters to date until they were comfortably in their 30s. Various subordinates of the frequently bad-tempered Josh Lyman fill this role at one time or another. It's usually Donna, but communications director Lou is the one who yells at him and gets him to stand down when he's freaking out on Election Day, and Sam Seaborn marches into the lion's den to force him to back down when he's been berating his new assistant Otto. (The first two work for him, and Sam threatens Josh that he won't come work for him unless Josh chills out and takes a vacation.)

No Badass to His Valet / int_f5c28dbb	comment	In 1632, nearly everyone is careful of Emperor Gustav's well-known volatile temper (his valets carry around extra chairs when he's campaigning, because they know he likes to smash chairs when he's angry) and his touchy nature when it comes to insults. Julie Simms isn't intimidated at all and even once called him a fathead to his face. And got away with it, if only because of a Tactful Translation by Alex MacKay.

No Badass to His Valet / int_f8956ef3	comment	Also from YuYu Hakusho, Kurama is pretty much the only one who can make fun of Hiei with no fear of vengeance whatsoever. Both because he knows well what Kurama can do and because he is the closest thing Hiei has to a best friend.

No Badass to His Valet / int_fa85cc4f	comment	Mr. Gar in OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes is the subject of fearful respect around Lakewood Plaza Turbo. However, to Carol, he's still the same Nervous Wreck he was back when they were teens. In fact, throughout most of the first season, whenever he tried interacting with Carol, he always reverted back to that babbling wreck who can barely speak in front of his crush.
