An Action Girl appears otherwise slender, svelte, or "waifish", with a near-total lack of visible musculature. Despite this, they are capable of holding their own or even overpowering warriors many times their size, while utilizing "Waif-Fu", a ballet-esque fighting style that goes out of its way to show off their curves and feminine assets.
This is a tiny bit Truth in Television as women, even ones with big looking muscle, usually can't match men for upper body strength and speed. However, women are often more flexible, so it makes some sense they might want to use that advantage. This still doesn't eliminate the lack of mass and power thus a woman's hits won't pack as much of a punch (the reason why weight categories exist in combat sports).
Related tropes: A subtrope of Pintsized Powerhouse. Often used by Little Miss Badass, Mama Bear, Weak, but Skilled, Cute Bruiser, and Lady of War. Contrast and compare with Amazonian Beauty, Brawn Hilda, Statuesque Stunner, Glacier Waif who uses a completely different style of combat and Vasquez Always Dies where the females who do look like they can wipe the floor with you ... don't. The female version of Charles Atlas Superpower and often associated with Muscles Are Meaningless and Awesomeness by Analysis. Normally used with a lot of She-Fu acrobatics and turns, implying mystic martial arts.
Not to be confused with waifu, although there definitely is plenty of overlap there.

X23. She's even shorter than her "dad," Wolverine, and is much more gracile, though still athletic. Partly justified: As with Logan, Laura's Healing Factor gives her denser muscle, bone, and connective tissue than a normal human being, granting her a degree of Super-Strength.

Jacky Faber of Bloody Jack fame often uses her skinny young waif act to get out of tight situations. Most of her adversaries who fall for this are fooled into thinking she's a Just A Girl, to their detriment since she's a former street rat/war veteran with a "shiv."

Female Elves and Dwarves in Dragon Age are both much smaller than Humans (either in build or height), but aren't to be reckoned with. The Warden in particular. Subverted in Dragon Age II - Merrill (who is very small/thin) is a mage, but she can be built to withstand a lot of punishment (making her a weirdly effective Stone Wall), especially compared to Anders, the fragile human male mage.

Technically, all female fighters in Ranma ½ save Cologne, as they're small, slender Japanese teenagers - and Akane and Ranma themselves are the tiniest of the bunch. Made explicitly obvious when they take on the humongous Dojo Destroyer and Pantyhose Taro.

In a late chapter of Bone, Thorn effortlessly lifts a Vedu warrior (easily twice her weight) over her head and throws him, presumably aided by her powers as the Awakened One. Then a squadron of 15 Vedu warriors appears and beats the tar out of her.

Bleach
Yachiru Kusajishi is able to carry her captain, Kenpachi Zaraki, without much trouble despite her being about 33 pounds (15kg) whereas he weighs in at a Tyson-esque 237 pounds (108kg).
Ururu, the little girl that helps out at Kisuke Urahara's shop, also deserves a mention here. When the arrancar first invade the real world, she snaps and starts kicking ass, much to everyone else's shock. She also showed off some of her skills back during Ichigo's Training from Hell.
Sui Feng is the captain of Squad 2. She's under 5-feet tall, fast as hell, and her zanpaktou is essentially a hornet's stinger. At least until she unleashes her bankai, which turns it into a giant missile that she hates because it's no good as a weapon for an assassin.
Yoruichi, who is known as the "Goddess of Flash" and laid Yammy Rialgo out with no help at all. She also gets points for drilling Aizen into the ground not once, but twice.
Hiyori Sarugaki. Despite, according to her bio, weighing 57lbs and standing a grand total of 4'4" tall, she is not only an Vizard but was the former 12th division lieutenant and she regularly smacked Ichigo around.
Rukia Kuchiki is pretty beefy in comparison - at 4'8½" and 73 pounds.

Vin in Mistborn is a tiny teenaged girl who, by the time the trilogy ends, has taken out just about everything nasty the Crapsack World can throw at her. She is one of the titular mistborn, and as such possesses powers including but not limited to superhuman strength, speed, senses, telekinetic control of metals, and a Jedi-like ability to see the immediate future. Vin has an advantage even over other mistborn, not just because her small form gives her greater agility and balance, but because her super-strength is more concentrated, giving her a proportionally stronger punch. She basically uses the Square-Cube Law to her advantage. Her small size is also useful for stealth since mistborn are typically assassins and spies. The only disadvantage is in the manipulation of metals, since if one is too heavy she will be moved instead. Though it should be noted that she is still weaker than a muscle-bound bruiser with the same powers as her, which bites her in the behind at least once when she gets pinned by such an opponent.

Fire Emblem:
Nearly every Myrmidon/Swordmaster from the series is a waif, as the class focuses on typically weak, fast and precise hits that are still capable of taking out fully grown men in full suits of armor in very few hits while avoiding any directed at them. A notable example would be Fir, a girl in her mid-teens who travels the world constantly fighting and typically beating veteran soldiers and mercenaries in an arena just to claim the title of her late mother.
In Fire Emblem Fates, Charlotte, despite being said to have enough strength to punch down a tree with her bare hands, has a very un-muscular build for someone so strong.

Comes up quite a bit in Chuck:
Although Sarah is played by 5'9" Yvonne Strahovski, who certainly has the build to make her Action Girl spy believable, she nonetheless relies mostly on this since she's frequently pitted against men who are significantly more massive (for example, Michael Clarke Duncan). With a handful of exceptions, all of her actual drag-out brawls on the show were with other women.
Anna Wu (played by 5'2" Julia Ling) once beat up a bully from the local sporting goods store (played by 6'5" Michael Strahan) relying on her speed, agility, and judicious use of a camera tripod. Her skills even impressed Casey.
The same often goes for many of the other lady spies that turn up, such as Carina (played by the slim tall drink of water Mini Andén) and the rest of the CAT Squad. They have no trouble taking on men much more massive than themselves by relying on She-Fu rather than raw power.
Ditto for the actually short (comparatively speaking) Morgan while he had the Intersect. Joshua Gomez's 5'8" height was often exaggerated for comedic effect, and much like Chuck relied on speed and the Intersect's extensive martial arts database to fight much larger opponents.

Redwall:
Mariel. She's a mouse, probably aged about twelve in the first book, and has been kept as a slave for quite a long time, yet she's able to beat up seabirds with nothing but a length of knotted rope.
A lot of the Dibbuns, most prominently Baby Dumble, who was fighting crows in diapers. (Though admittedly he wasn't actually very good at it.) Or Bragoon and Saro, who left home to kick ass when they were still Dibbuns and don't come back 'til they're old, after which they kick more ass before dying epically.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Seems to be a requirement for joining the agency. With only some exceptions most of the cast are under 6 feet, so both the women and the men fall into this, leading to the implication that being short gives some unique advantage in combatnote Reality Is Unrealistic; shorter stature can be a useful advantage with proper training - e.g. it may help in gaining leverage - and various martial arts employed by law enforcement agents are aimed at making use of this. Specific examples include:
From the start of the show, the 5'4 Agent Melinda May is presented as a legendary agent who explicitly refuses to go out on missions armed, preferring to disarm people and use their's when she needs one. Throughout the show she's presented as unquestionably one of the toughest unarmed fighters, the only competition being Bobbi Morse, who avoids being one herself by being a Statuesque Stunner (standing at 5'11, making her the third tallest character on the team).
Though not at first, the show's main character Daisy Johnson, who's only about an inch taller than May, grows into an Action Girl thanks to training from May, which is boosted once she's revealed as an Inhuman and develops superpowers. For the most part, this is justified; Daisy's fights are typically high on Combat Pragmatist tactics (using Gun Fu (and later, her powers mixed in with regular combat) and the environment, moving around the room and ducking under tables, generally avoiding hits), but she's also got some advantages from being an Inhuman, as she's shown to have a much higher pain threshold (continuing to fight even with a broken arm) and some level of Super-Toughness.
Phil Coulson himself, who after being Overshadowed by Awesome in the films, proves to be an effective male example of this. Standing at 5'8 he's rather short (when the above women wear heels they stand at the same height) and looks rather unassuming, but is shown to be quite a martial artist himself (though it is stated that when on missions, May typically carries the heavy lifting in their fights). Later, he gets a cybernetic arm that gives him some level of super strength and a hard light shield, giving him some justification.
Fitz and Simmons (respectively 5'8 and 5'4), the last of the original cast, actually started off explicitly as non-action characters, with harming them being seen as the ultimate Kick the Dog moment for a villain, but thanks to their experiences the two became capable fighters. They're still the weakest in combat on the team, but they've become pretty good at the Combat Pragmatist thing, using improvised weapons and the like.
Outside the team, Anti-Villain Agent 33 was a Dark Action Girl version of this. Standing the same height as the women, she was a pretty vicious fighter who could kick Daisy's ass prior to Daisy getting her powers and gave May one of her toughest fights in the show, one she just barely won. Agent 33 was actually once a loyal SHIELD agent before being brainwashed, so its evident that SHIELD trains its female fighters pretty damn well.

Nona from Death Parade is a slender, frail-looking girl with the appearance of a young teenager, but she's capable of knocking out a man twice her size and she can do some rather impressive flips and somersaults when trying to avoid being captured by another. However, given that she's ageless and not entirely human, it's justified in the show proper.

Cassandra Cain, aka Batgirl III. You could fit her in a backpack with a little folding, and yet she's been known to flip seven-foot-tall five-foot-wide monsters around by their teeth, punch through foot thick stone walls and be among the greatest martial artists on the planet (and even defeated some of them). Even when she is drawn as ripped enough to pass for Bruce Lee with (small) breasts she would have trouble making 120 pounds. Her successor as Batgirl, Stephanie Brown, is also an example, but to a lesser extent; she's about the same size as Cass, though while she's probably a better fighter than anyone in real life, she's Overshadowed by Awesome in the rest of Gotham, and during her days as Spoiler, she had to rely more on Combat Pragmatism and stayed out of direct fights with harder targets. However, her size isn't typically the reason given for her comparative lack of badassery, but rather her lack of training (which everyone refuses to give her, despite repeatedly demonstrating her natural potential).
Cass's mom is Lady Shiva. She's almost always drawn as either a slim Asian woman, or a slightly curvy Asian woman, and is often called the best martial artist on the planet. She's just that skilled.

Tales Series:
Tales of Symphonia:
Presea Combatir. That axe has got to weigh more than she does.
Colette. You don't see as much of it with her as you do with Presea, but if you can watch her pick up a huge, muscular man that probably weighs twice as much as her without ANY effort whatsoever, then say she isn't strong, you're insane. Granted, she has angel powers, but still, it's damn impressive.
Sophie from Tales of Graces, despite being only about 5 ft. tall and looks like a skinny little twig, can plow all her enemies into the ground with her gauntlets like there's no tomorrow.

Matty Roh of The Heritage of Shannara is quite tall, but her slender build and reliance on a rapier make her fit this trope. Her strategy relies on dancing around her opponents before going in for the kill. Makes things rather interesting when she teams up with the much more physically powerful Morgan Leah.

The titular heroine of the anime SoltyRei is a young, seemingly defenseless, robot girl with a Mysterious Past who "adopts" a bounty hunter who "saved her life" - who is able to take out a fifty-foot mecha piloted by two Mooks in the second episode. With one punch to its fist, which was in the process of trying to punch through her to her adopted protector. You don't want to mess with her. And don't forget her very next move, where she hurled it into the stratosphere.

In Blade of the Immortal the deadliest swordsman is not Manji, the immortal main character, or Anotsu, the Big Bad, but Makie, a skinny, waif-like former prostitute who killed sixty wolves in one night at the age of ten. The trope is ultimately averted when Manji comments on how Makie's muscles are weaker than his and that her true advantage is her speed combined with her skill that she uses to give her segregated spear more power through sheer momentum.

Prior to Gail Kim's original WWF debut, there were plans to bring her to compete against the guys using her waif-fu like high flying abilities. Unfortunately, there's a difference between hype music videos and actually performing in the ring, and while her moves may have been impressive, her unreliability at hitting them properly and consistently (read: she botched a lot) put an end to those plans.

Naruto:
Sakura learns it from Tsunade, who also breaks the ground with simple punches - Tsunade in her true form is actually a frail elderly woman with even less muscle size than Sakura. This Super-Strength is apparently achieved by perfect chakra control.
Hinata also falls into this category. Her clan's specialty is the "Gentle Fist" technique, which rather than using crippling damage delivers a short, intense burst of energy to block a chakra point, preventing the use of ninja techniques (and potentially the use of limbs, or organs). In the anime, she's also shown the ability to improve the "near perfect defense" technique to a "truly perfect defense", and turns the Gentle Fist into something that would make Kenshiro start to shed Manly Tears. For the longest time, she did this occasionally. She would have demonstrated her strength more often earlier on, had it not been for her crippling self-esteem issues, which were only sporadically overcome by following Naruto's example. By the Fourth Shinobi World War Arc, after she becomes assertive and has gained a lot more confidence, she starts actively showing off her strength, especially when she masters the Sixty-Four Palms and combines it with her Twin Lion Fists.

Izumi Curtis. She looks like a typical housewife but manages to set off her Hair-Trigger Temper (which isn't hard) and you're in for a pretty solid ass beating. Better pray you don't make her angry enough to use her alchemy.
And then there's May Chang, a young teenager approximately the size of a toddler. She kicked the ass of Edward Elric, an uncannily ripped (at least for his size) master of martial-arts and alchemy, as well as that of Ed's brother Al, who is a SUIT OF ARMOR.

RWBY: Neo is the smallest adult human and stands around 4'11" tall when including heels. She is also one of the most expressive, graceful and acrobatic of all fighters, dodging the blows of enemies with ease, using moves such as pirouettes, somersaults, kicks, and fencing or parrying with her parasol. She also appears to deflect attacks with her parasol or legs the rare few times they do appear to connect. She easily defeats the much taller, super-strong Yang, who can't even land a blow on her; she fights evenly with a villain as dangerous as Cinder in non-magical combat; and she can easily defeat multiple opponents. If she does ever end up in a corner, she can fall back on her Semblance... creating illusions that can fool multiple opponents at the same time.

Dragon Ball:
Chi-Chi (more in Dragon Ball) also qualifies when she held her own against Goku at the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament.
Zangya, a Space Pirate from Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound, also qualifies. She is very slender and attractive but makes easy work of Krillin and the other Z Fighters whenever she gets a chance to fight, and her moveset is also ballet-esque.
In Dragon Ball Super, we get the Universe 6 Saiyanesses, Caulifla and Kale, who both play this straight and subvert it. In their normal forms, they're some of the skinniest characters in the series and appear largely unassuming and young (perhaps even teenaged), but are stated to be extremely powerful regardless. When Caulifla transforms, she gains absolutely no extra musculature. Caulifla initially fails to achieve Super Saiyan 2 and instead transforms into the bulky and extremely muscular 'Super Saiyan Grade 3' state before achieving Super Saiyan 2, where she manages to match Super Saiyan 2 Goku for a short time. Kale, on the other hand, becomes a hulking muscular berserker before she too slenders down tremendously.

In episode 18 of the Tenchi Muyo! OVAs, Sasami—armed only with a staff she apparently kept in her hair—effortlessly defeated an armed and highly trained Galaxy Police operative, despite appearing to be no more than 12 years old and having shown no martial prowess whatsoever at any prior point in the series.
It's All There in the Manual. Sasami does possess martial arts prowess, it just wasn't mentioned in the OVAs before — after all, her mom is the head of Emperor's security and uncontested martial arts champion of the whole Jurai Empire. And it was mentioned in the supplements that Sasami DID train with Misaki, so she could take out a couple of GalPol mooks even without Tsunami's powers.

Attack on Titan features a large amount of this, as people who fight the Titans (which range in height from four to fifteen meters) have to make use of Le Parkour if they want to strike their weak points without getting eaten.
Annie Leonhart likes to claim that she's just a "weak maiden". Eren points out her tendency to curb stomp guys literally twice her size as evidence that this is a blatant lie.
Mikasa, who is still slender, is also shown to be very muscular under her clothes. Her washboard abs are something of a meme amongst the fandom.

Yuno Gasai of Future Diary is a fourteen-year-old girl, and she's capable of slicing full-grown men twice her size clean in half. She racks up the highest body count in the series by a mile, all while wearing her rather terrifying trademark cross between a stare and a Slasher Smile. Unsurprisingly, since she is a justified example due to using blades over her fists. She's the very definition of this trope, among others.

The Dresden Files:
Lieutenant Karrin Murphy is 5 feet tall and a hundred pounds soaking wet. She's also The Big Guy. This is because she's highly skilled in Aikido, which uses an enemy's weight and momentum against them, while also preserving their well-being. It goes Up to Eleven when she picks up one of the Swords of the Cross, especially in Changes.
Although, on some level, she also averts it. In the short story "Aftermath," which is told from her perspective, she mentions that she works with several different martial arts (, Wing Chun, Jujitsu, Kali, Savate, Krav Maga, Taekwando, Judo, Boxing, and Shaolin Kung Fu,) and also points how size and strength go a long way. She's mentioned that, despite her skills, she (like most people) always walks around with a slight nervousness in knowing that half of the population could easily overpower her.
There's also "Lydia", the mysterious client in Grave Peril - when possessed by a demon, she's easily able to throw Harry around, even though he's much bigger. Being Harry, he comments that this shouldn't work.

Penelo from Final Fantasy XII is very petite compared to the rest of the party, but she can be formidable in her own right, and you can even give her a BFS. Although, her stats do favour magick rather than combat, so it's up to the player's discretion. Fran is perhaps a straighter example: she is basically a playboy bunny species, and (in cutscenes and quickenings only, natch) shows dexterity and martially artistic moves.

There are also have Gnome and Goblin females in World of Warcraft who are just the tiniest of the females out there in the Alliance and Horde respectively. But when played as a warrior they become tiny titans who can tank raids as well as any Draenei or Tauren male... the largest player characters possible on the same sides of the fence as the aforementioned females. And with the application of the proper talents, these mighty minis will wear full plate armor, and wield a gigantic two-handed weapon in each hand, all the while moving like a ballerina on the battlefield. Not to mention what they can do with straight-up DPS as rogues, death knights, or other melee combat classes. Forsaken females may also qualify for this trope as well when one considers that there is literally little left to them but skin and bone, looking as if they could fall apart with a good hit from a thick stick. Granted, the difference in size can be completely negligible compared to some bosses such as dragons, demons, elemental lords, and the occasional Humongous Mecha. Each of these looks like they could crush an entire raid group with one stomp, thus making this trope apply to just about everyone.

Introduced in Iron Man 2, Natasha Romanoff blows through a building with a combination of non-lethal weaponry and improbable martial arts — all in the time it takes Happy Hogan to take down one guard with conventional boxing technique. Subsequently, she goes on to fight small armies throughout the rest of the films using a wide array of styles, to the point that she's able to fight alongside the other Avengers. She's played by the 5'3" Scarlett Johansson.

Daizee Haze developed such a style after going through Mexican promotions such as LLF but gradually started phasing the moves out after leaving, especially after an infamous case in SHIMMER where she missed three dives at Nicole Matthews, causing her to immediately abandon that approach for the rest of the match and the next three volumes.

Jo Clayton's The Duel of Sorcery Trilogy: Serroi is maybe four and a half feet tall. Justified in that she does have extensive martial training, and relies more on speed and agility than strength.

Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: The Clone Wars first did this to Cad Bane, after he knocked her lightsaber out of her hands, and later when captured and disarmed by Trandoshan hunters, she defeated three of them this way (not all at once). Said Trandoshans are capable of fighting Wookies hand-to-hand if needed.

In Schlock Mercenary, most military personnel and mercenaries are equipped with soldier boosts, which boost strength and other attributes, and low-profile power armor, which looks like your standard space clothes but block bullets, allow flight and further increase strength. This means that most of the women in the comic can pull this off, with one example being 19-year-old Teen Genius Para Ventura taking out a small mob on her own.

Asuka of Neon Genesis Evangelion displayed this trope in the manga version. After bumping into a gang member in an arcade, she manages to easily kick him out the way and hold her own against several other big, burly men alone, with backflips and all. Admittedly she used the "Look over there!" trick first. She never displays these moves again in the series, apart from a brief moment near the end of the same book.

Codex Alera:
The Vord Queens look like slender, beautiful women due to the fact that the original was exposed to Kitai's blood and thus was altered in the first book. They are also incredibly fast and strong and are able to take hits from titanic crossbows that can punch through heavy armor or horses and keep going. Then again, they're not human, but the powerful, monstrous leaders of a species that has eaten entire worlds.
Also, Kitai, a young girl with the strength of a grown man and the ability to take almost anyone in a fistfight. This is justified by the fact that she's a Marat, not a human, and she's pretty well-muscled to boot.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid has Vivio, Einhalt, Rio, and Corona, who are all 10 to 11-year-old little girls that practice Strike Arts, the Mid-Childan Martial Art. For fun, they play "Who can displace the most water from a lake with a single punch above the water". Einhalt was able to make a five-meter tall waterspout with hers, temporarily making it rain in the area, complete with accompanying rainbow. In fact, before the series, Einhart spent her days picking fights with experienced fighters who are all bigger than her even when she's in her Adult Form, and all of whom proved no match.

Nearly every Myrmidon/Swordmaster from the series is a waif, as the class focuses on typically weak, fast and precise hits that are still capable of taking out fully grown men in full suits of armor in very few hits while avoiding any directed at them. A notable example would be Fir, a girl in her mid-teens who travels the world constantly fighting and typically beating veteran soldiers and mercenaries in an arena just to claim the title of her late mother.

Nessiah, from Yggdra Union, is one of the exceedingly rare male examples of this trope. Not only is he tiny—he's stuck in a set of heavy chains that should by all rights make any form of combat impossible. And yet he manages to thrash the player's entire army with ease. The fact that he's a mage isn't even an excuse, as most magic-users in Yggdra Union have very low attack stats to match their lack of physical strength.

The premise of Fantasy Heroine is that writer Caroline was casting for a "generic white girl fantasy heroine"—particularly a 16-year-old waif who adheres to this trope. Instead, she got Rosamund, a 36-year-old widowed mother of two, who can handle a sword… but only one that's proportionate to her size and musculature.

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Introduced in Iron Man 2, Natasha Romanoff blows through a building with a combination of non-lethal weaponry and improbable martial arts — all in the time it takes Happy Hogan to take down one guard with conventional boxing technique. Subsequently, she goes on to fight small armies throughout the rest of the films using a wide array of styles, to the point that she's able to fight alongside the other Avengers. She's played by the 5'3" Scarlett Johansson.
In Iron Man 3, Pepper Potts is suddenly able to do this, courtesy of experimental drugs that enhanced her strength.

Spenser novels: The detective encounters small-framed women who are highly trained in martial arts, and who because of their training assume they can defeat anyone they come across in a fight. Spenser instructs them otherwise when the women try to beat him down, managing to willpower his way through a Groin Attack to beat one of them. He even goes so far to tell one of the women after the fight that, all other things being equal, the bigger, stronger person will beat the smaller person every single time so she shouldn't be upset over not winning their fight.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge has none other than April O'Neil. The 1987 version of April is known for being built like a supermodel at 5'8" so she's not quite short, but she had little indication of any combat prowess. Here, she's more than able to keep up with the Turtles, Splinter and Casey Jones, as she's skilled enough to fight anyone, from Foot Soldiers, to mutants twice her size, to Triceratons (which are a challenge to the Turtles themselves), all the way to Shredder himself.

She has thrown men through the air with her kicks and is strong enough to leap off a rooftop and shove swords through a car roof. Apparently, she's one of the "gods" of Sin City. Being a deity might be the only way to explain her 90 foot vertical or surviving a grenade going off under her feet without a scratch.

Jade Chan of Jackie Chan Adventures through some yet-to-be-discovered law of physics is able to bring down people fairly easily at times. One time she brought down a strong government agent in one kick that her uncle was having trouble with. She brought the big sumo Tohru down in one kick as well, causing the house to shake. Despite all this, she still has to be contained by the villains and/or Jackie. This is probably due to her being the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama. Zig-zagged, since there are also running gags where she'll attempt this only to be caught and held harmlessly in the air where she can't get any leverage.

Smallville:
Happened to Lana Lang in season 8, with the very brief and none-too convincing explanation that she had taken a self-defence course. She had had a waif-fu moment as early as Season 4, but she was possessed by Isobel Thoreaux, a Wicked Witch and Dark Action Girl, at the time, thus justifying it at that time.
Lois is also prone to this, although it's somewhat more believable thanks to her Military Brat status, although it is still stretching things a bit as she basically beats anyone without a gun, and would knock the gun out of the hands of whoever has one.
Tess a) is more of a bruiser, and b) just plain cheats, thus averting the trope.
In Season 10, Chloe Sullivan, after returning from working with Batman and Wonder Woman (albeit obliquely referred to) which neatly explains her well-honed fighting skills, allowing her to defeat multiple secret agents with guns without breaking a sweat.

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
Toph is a little, blind 12-year old. She routinely kicks everyone's tails. In fact, the only fight she's ever in where she loses is against the protagonist, and that's only because she had never fought an Airbender before. Hell, the only time she ever really gets injured is by Zuko, when she walks up to his camp and is caught by surprise by his fiery defense. It's true that she almost never makes direct contact with those she fights and uses Earthbending instead, but still. Hell, she's the most powerful and talented Earthbender in the entire Avatar universe. In the final episode, she metal bends the bridge door of a Fire Nation's zeppelin, wraps it around herself as a second layer of skin, and becomes Iron Kid.
Ty Lee has no Bending ability, she carries no weapons, she's a skinny, perky cutie ... and she can totally incapacitate you by hitting you in the pressure points while remaining impossible to hit.
Then there’s June. She’s a badass bounty-hunter, who can effortlessly beat a man twice her size in arm-wrestling.

Mukuro Ikusaba from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is 5'7"(169cm) tall, but only 97lbs (44kg). Despite this, her Ultimate title is Ultimate Soldier. While she doesn't get to display much in game, in other sources, she gets to show off her badassery. In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc IF, after being found out to be one of the people responsible for locking them in the school, she fights 6'4" (192cm) 218lb (99kg) Ultimate Martial Artist Sakura Ogami nearly equally for ten minutes, though she thinks that Sakura was holding back. Later, when Mukuro got "in the zone", she was explicitly stated to be able to fight equally with her and fought over 100 Monokumas at once, while also dodging bullets from the turrets near the school entrance.

Kira in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is only of average size and build for a woman and doesn't seem very threatening from her appearance alone (her behaviour is another thing, though).

Young Wizards:
Dairine Callahan from the series. At eleven she offers to take on her fourteen-year-old sister Nita's biggest adversary, Joanne, and beat her up (Joanne and her cronies had just beaten Nita up pretty badly)— and although she doesn't do it, it's made quite clear that she can, and even Nita admits it.
Nita and Kit are both also examples. The reason Nita doesn't fight back is that although she has the skills, she knows that she's outnumbered and fighting back will only make it worse. But when she gets a hold on wizardry she gains self-confidence— and a much, much bigger adversary than Joanne. And she kicks butt. Magic is just as cool as a physical skill because fighting with magic costs you just as much energy and strength as fighting physically. Magic is just more... dignified. Well, aWoM kind of subverts that in Nita's battle with Aurilelde, but still.
YW has so many examples of this, you can't name them all.

Tales of Symphonia:
Presea Combatir. That axe has got to weigh more than she does.
Colette. You don't see as much of it with her as you do with Presea, but if you can watch her pick up a huge, muscular man that probably weighs twice as much as her without ANY effort whatsoever, then say she isn't strong, you're insane. Granted, she has angel powers, but still, it's damn impressive.

In Gunnerkrigg Court, Jones is a small, slender woman who can casually go toe-to-toe with the massive Sir James Eglamore and easily defeat him in close-quarters combat. Of course, the fact that she's an indestructible entity who has been around since the geological formation of Earth helps quite a bit.

Kagura from Gintama fits this trope nicely. From the outside, she is the epitome of a cute and petite 14-year-old girl. However, we soon find out she belongs to a race of super-strong fighters and can take down villains many times her size with sheer strength alone.

Nellie of The Avenger. Weighs maybe a hundred pounds sopping wet, tosses men more than twice that weight easily, thanks to her extensive knowledge of jujitsu and other martial arts. Her job is made easier by the attitudes of the 1930s making it hard for male opponents to realize how effective a combatant she could be.

Subverted with Tetsuko, before her permanent transformation into a 6'3 hulking woman she looked very thin for someone who could bench press 250 pounds and beat up large burly men. However, it turns out that she was way more muscular than she appears and could double her bicep size by flexing.

Chocolate (2008). Zen, a small Thai autistic girl whose Disability Superpower is to absorb martial arts from movies and TV shows. The entire movie is her beating up hundreds of people larger than her with a variety of styles. At various points, she "mimics" Tony Jaa, Bruce Lee, and Jackie Chan, as well as fighting with capoeira, Muay Thai, and even dual katana sheaths. The actress, who works under the name Jee Ja Yanin, was a 3rd Dan in taekwondo before being discovered by Panna Rittikrai (who did the stunts for Ong Bak) during casting for his first film. She spent 2 years training with his stunt team before making her film debut. They often handled her smaller size well, she uses it to her advantage by taking the fight into narrow spaces where her opponents have trouble moving. But throughout she's not shown to be "super strong", she uses circumstances, agility, and blunt objects instead.

Effectively canon in BattleTech and more specifically the Role-Playing Game version Mechwarrior, where player characters can take significant risks to bring down Battlemechs on their own. The canonical example is Cassie Suthorn of the Camacho's Caballeros mercenary regiment, a petite woman described as unable to weigh a hundred pounds without wearing a soaking wet bathrobe first. She knows the agile and evasive Indonesian martial art pentjak silat, and the skills that come with knowing the art have proven handy in helping her hunt and kill the enemy 'Mechs more or less singlehandedly. She has a kill count of over a battalion of Battlemechs of varying weights without riding one of her own—it's noted that the vast majority of her 'Mech-piloting comrades, even the ones in Assault 'Mechs, don't have a kill record that high. She is also no slouch in hand to hand combat, regularly defeating the setting's equivalent of Secret Police Space Ninja.

Echo, Sierra, and November from Dollhouse depending on what imprint they're loaded with. Although even in fights where Echo has the right imprint, she still gets her small size used against her, as in she gets picked up, carried and shoved or thrown against something. In one fight to the death, Sierra got into it was half luck that she escaped alive. November seems not to feel pain in assassin mode.

Rayla from The Dragon Prince is a very skinny elf. Nevertheless, she is at least initially the best fighter in her group (granted, since the other two members are a pair of ordinary human boys, this isn’t saying much). Justified in the context of the show, where elves almost always have a slender build and are born with a connection to Primal Magic, which enhances their speed and strength.

In Dragon Ball Super, we get the Universe 6 Saiyanesses, Caulifla and Kale, who both play this straight and subvert it. In their normal forms, they're some of the skinniest characters in the series and appear largely unassuming and young (perhaps even teenaged), but are stated to be extremely powerful regardless. When Caulifla transforms, she gains absolutely no extra musculature. Caulifla initially fails to achieve Super Saiyan 2 and instead transforms into the bulky and extremely muscular 'Super Saiyan Grade 3' state before achieving Super Saiyan 2, where she manages to match Super Saiyan 2 Goku for a short time. Kale, on the other hand, becomes a hulking muscular berserker before she too slenders down tremendously.

In The Elder Scrolls series, any melee light armor female build effectively becomes this. It's particularly noticeable in Skyrim, where you can choose the physical build of the Player Character for the first time in the series. Thus, you can make a female Player Character of an already waify race (Breton, Khajiit, Bosmer, etc.) even wispier, though still quite deadly. In addition, you can learn the Slow Time, Whirlwind Sprint, and Elemental Fury Thu'um Shouts to really bolster the effect. Conversely, a melee heavy armor female build heads into Glacier Waif territory and that same slider can allow you to make her a large (and busty) Amazonian Beauty or Beast Woman (depending on race).

Arya from A Song of Ice and Fire novels is a bit of a subversion. In the first book, she is specifically trained to fight in this kind of style but attempts to take on actual experienced and armed male combatants throughout the series usually end with her being disarmed readily. Fortunately, she is able to actually kill many of her targets using skill and surprise, mainly by exploiting the fact that no one tends to see her as a threat.

No one is saying The Boss from the Metal Gear Solid series is a waif, but compared to Volgin, she is lighter, a little shorter, and has 10 million fewer volts of electricity flowing through her. None of that stops her from throwing him to ground very easily. In fact, the only time Volgin is visibly scared is when he inadvertently insults The Boss. Also of mention is Paz in Peace Walker, if Snake is too...forward on their date, she sends him flying with a slap.

Final Fantasy:
Tifa from Final Fantasy VII. Hard to tell in the original game due to blocky polygons, but the upgraded graphics in Advent Children show she doesn't have any noticeably big muscles, despite being a martial arts master, and facing off against Loz.
Penelo from Final Fantasy XII is very petite compared to the rest of the party, but she can be formidable in her own right, and you can even give her a BFS. Although, her stats do favour magick rather than combat, so it's up to the player's discretion. Fran is perhaps a straighter example: she is basically a playboy bunny species, and (in cutscenes and quickenings only, natch) shows dexterity and martially artistic moves.

The teen/tween in the archive in Blade (1998) looks about 12 or 14, and even plays helpless, scared, and cute when Blade first sees her. She then kicks Blade so hard that he falls back through some Soft Glass.

Game of Thrones: Arya who is trained in a Braavosi fencing style well-suited to her size and can work a bow. However, she realistically knows her limitations and never fights grown men head-on, instead resorting to poisons and sneak attacks.

Spider-Man:
Mary Jane Watson is a skinny, feminine-looking actress. She also had self-defence training from Captain America and has no problem kicking the butt of any mook that tries to put her in the distressed damsel role, especially if the poor bastard took it upon themselves to kidnap and/or subdue her husband, Spider-Man. Assuming Peter doesn't escape by himself, she'll be there instead.
One story had his old girlfriend Betty Brant come back after a somewhat long absence knowing martial arts and packing heat, able to trade blows with the Foreigner's mercenaries, in an attempt to find out more about her husband Ned's murder. In the second part she was even dressing up in Rambo-style fatigues. Even Peter was shocked by how serious she was taking it.

Parker, having incredible strength for someone so small thanks to lots of time hanging from tower blocks by nothing but her fingertips, in Leverage: Normally avoids combat, but cracks open a case of waif fu to fight a Serbian gangster. As per the trope, when he gets a grip on her she's in serious trouble, but when she breaks free she's able to use her greater speed and agility to knock the crap out of him. Later in the series, she seems to primarily use stun guns whenever she needs to engage in combat - though she is able to deliver a beatdown to protect Hardison.

Saber from Fate/stay night. To her credit, when she isn't buffing herself with magic strength, she's actually a good deal weaker than either Shirou or Tohsaka. It'd be even harder to believe otherwise from her considering she's about five feet tall and weighs ninety pounds. Although she can be physically weakened that does not reduce her insane skill.

Hanna uses Le Parkour to confuse and separate her enemies, her agility to dodge their stronger blows and her Tyke Bomb Training from Hell to exploit any opening instinctively. She is also something of a Super-Soldier as well, somewhat justifying her abilities. This is deliberately contrasted with the style of her dad (who trained her), which takes advantage of his greater size, and strength.

As with her comics counterpart, Laura from Logan. In fact, it's exaggerated further because in this film she's an eleven-year-old girl happily taking on trained, heavily armed, cybernetically enhanced Reavers twice or more her size! When confronted with X-24, a clone of Logan himself, she immediately goes into attack mode, using her speed and small size to keep him completely off balance. If not for his Healing Factor, she would have torn him apart. However, when a mook or X-24 actually manages to land a hit, it tends to hurt, since she is still an eleven-year-old girl fighting grown men twice her size, but she can still carve through an army of Reavers with terrifying effectiveness.

Valerie from Danny Phantom is a minor version being a girl but reasonably hefty. Aside from being stated to be a ninth degree level black belt (despite being only fourteen), she routinely kicks powerful ghosts' butts on a daily basis. At one point she engaged combat on her own battle suit, possessed by a ghost (and managed to hold herself in said battle pretty durn well).

Cameron in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Justified by the fact that she is a Terminator. Cameron is played by Summer Glau, the same actress who played the "90-pound girl" seen in Firefly. Interestingly enough, Cameron's small size, when compared with other Terminators, does actually play into the fight scenes; when she tackles another, larger robot in a straightforward slugging match she typically loses unless someone is helping her. It's only when she outmaneuvers or surprises a Terminator (for example, the "water delivery" Terminator, or Stark, or Cromartie the first time) that she wins without outside assistance.

Warhammer 40,000's Eldar, despite being thinner than the average human, are at least as strong as one. This is explained partly by different muscle configuration, and partly by their speed; since net force equals mass times acceleration, this means that they can actually hit fairly hard, even if their lifting capacity is not all that great.
While regular Eldar hit as hard as regular humans, they have several special rules, psyker powers, and weapons that increase their hitting strength. Without psychic powers (as they can be applied to anyone), we have the Howling Banshee Exarch, armed with what is essentially a naginata, striking at strength 5 note just as hard as getting hit by the single largest Ork in the galaxy and the Striking Scorpion Exarch with a powerfist hitting on strength 7. All of those hit at Eldar initiative, meaning that they strike faster than supersoldiers with genetically enhanced reflexes. Then there is Phoenix Lord Fuegan, who can hit at strength 10 (the highest possible strength value) while possessing the same physique as any other Eldar.
Dark Eldar have a tendency for this. Wyches, mostly female shock assault troops, can outmatch Space Marines in melee despite having the base strength of a regular human. They also fight wearing virtually no armor, being showy pit fighters. The Incubi are infamous for hitting harder than Space Marines in full Powered Armor, to the point of being able to reliably kill a Terminator before he can react. Lelith and Drazhar take it further, being the single most skilled Wych and Incubus, respectively. Both are capable of taking down entire squads of dedicated melee units or completely tear apart regular troops.
Tau Ethereals are physically very weak by the setting's standards but are excellent melee fighters thanks to their practice of fast, precision-focused ritual dueling. On the tabletop, while they are nowhere durable enough to take on dedicated melee units, they can definitely outmatch regular humans and are more than a match for even the Astartes.

Arrowverse:
Superpowered figures aside, the two best candidates for World's Best Warrior in-universe are Oliver Queen and Sara Lance, the latter of whom is played by Caity Lotz, who is billed at 5'5" but is visibly shorter than that, and is consistently the shortest character in most of her scenes. Justified somewhat, as Caity Lotz is actually an accomplished martial artist who has No Stunt Double because she actually can kick the amount of ass she does on TV. Also, unlike most examples, though she's lean and small she's visibly very well toned.
Thea Queen is a straighter example, who's tiny size is even lampshaded, but she's also more-or-less the heir to the League of Assassins, and in only a few months went from a Damsel in Distress club going teen to an Action Girl immune to pain. In-universe, the League of Assassins' training regime is apparently that good.

In the Doctor Who episode The Mind Robber, Zoe gets the super-powered Karkus to work for her by defeating him in hand-to-hand combat, despite being much shorter, having no powers, and showing little tendency towards physical combat before. One explanation is that they're in a dimension where Your Mind Makes It Real, and Zoe does have a very good mind.
Alternatively, she had seen the Karkus is comic book form and knew he didn't truly exist, so he had no power over her. The Doctor had never heard of him, so he wasn't able to fight the Karkus the same way, but he could confidently claim that the Karkus' "anti-molecular ray disintegrator" gun was complete rubbish and couldn't possibly work, at which point it ceased to exist.
The diminutive Jo Grant is a trainee UNIT agent, and puts her martial arts training to good use when she's up against rioting prisoners in The Mind of Evil.
The titular character in the episode The Doctor's Daughter displays this.
Anji from the Eighth Doctor Adventures has met thirteen-year-old girls who are taller than her, but in Timeless she basically functions as a bodyguard to a man whose friends, family, and acquaintances have started attacking him. And none of them stand a chance against Anji Kapoor, petite futures trader and surprise badass.

Ouran Highschool Host Club
The following presents a subversion. Haruhi, dressed as a boy, tries stopping two guys messing with some girls. Of course, she's quite short and rather thin, so five seconds later they chuck her into the ocean, and she can't swim either. The host club and Tamaki especially get really pissed at her for it.
Hunny is a good male example; looking like an elementary student, he's a fierce fighter who once took down six or seven armed and armored private police officers with no weapons, and they didn't even stand a chance.

In the case of Alita from Battle Angel Alita, one would argue that her being a Full Conversion Cyborg justifies this... except that the vast majority of her opponents are as well, and are almost invariably much bigger than she is (frequently by a factor of 10 or more) and often just as advanced or nearly so. However, as Alita herself states at one point, Panzer Kunst (her fighting style) was created to fight larger opponents, especially larger cyborgs.

Jacqueline as a baby face. As a heel in USWA she wore down men with Choke Holds but was somewhat reliant on the fact the male faces were reluctant to actually hit her. As a heel in WCW she beat men around with strikes and slams, but mostly after Kevin Sullivan (who himself was something of an example) had already softened them up. As a baby face, Jacqueline tended to use a lot of momentum throws and aerial maneuvers to keep men off balance, though she did still take some mean thrashing from guys before managing to lock in a pinning combination or land a "martial arts kick". Jacqueline was fairly muscular too, it was her lack of height that qualified her for this trope.

Ciel from Tsukihime usually just chucks swords. Okay, kinda believable. But then she lugs around a gun that weighs more than she does, and it doesn't seem to slow her down that badly? Uh, okay. At least Arcueid is a vampire and has magical super strength or something. Actually, Arcueid admits outright that most of her strength has nothing to do with muscle mass and only considers herself as 'athletic' without it, enough to dodge Shiki's knife if he were to try something.

In Kick-Ass, the heroine Hit Girl takes this to Matrix-like levels of combat skill. She is by far the best fighter in the film, much more skilled than the protagonist. This does come to bite her in her confrontation with Frank D'Amico however, as she makes the mistake of engaging him in a confined space and he uses his much greater size and strength to quickly overpower her.

MegaTokyo has several examples:
Ping, who is a robot girl.
Miho. In addition to various improbable acrobatic feats such as dodging an electric ray, disabling it, instantly vacating the scene in a matter of seconds, and walking quite calmly on telephone lines, she also grabbed a car by the hood and crushed it by flipping it over with one hand.
Yuki as well. Although she has not displayed excessive strength or combat skills she also can walk normally on telephone wires (until she realized where she was and promptly fell). She also apparently possesses the power of teleportation which she used to steal, among other things, a whole rent-a-zilla...twice. She also defeated a small horde of Zombie Rangers by throwing appliances at them. Including a washing machine. A remarkable feat, considering most conventional weapons would most likely have been unequal to the task. It has been directly stated that Yuki is indeed a Magical Girl, as always suspected. Very likely Miho is one as well.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Buffy and some of the rest of the Slayers. Justified, as the slayers are supernaturally powered female warriors, so their physical build is far less important.

Anita of the R.O.D the TV is very strong, capable of stunning a "vampire" by throwing a book into his face breaking his nose from five meters away without using her paper powers, and she can knock out grown men 3 times her size. Her fighting style was developed by animators via "observing monkeys and the Chinese Royal Acrobats." This is likely due to her being created in a lab by the British Library.
Anita was actually the only paper sister in that episode who could use her paper powers because they are simplistic and do not require the paper to take shape and are therefore immune to the subtle sound vibrations that permeated the castle grounds. Didn't she kill that "vampire" by the way?
Anita does this trope again and is also shown to be a walking "Got Milk?" advertisement when she plays sports at school and throws a scorching fastball across two fields into the catcher's mitt. In the dub at least, this was further emphasized by the catcher himself, as he said, "Dear God," in a very stunned voice.

In the Firefly movie Serenity, River's Super-Soldier programming forcibly implanted by The Government manifests when she receives her activation signal (a "Fruity Oaty Bars" commercial) at the Maidenhead bar. She proceeds to wipe the floor with everyone in the bar, including resident Big Guy Jayne, who takes a shot at restraining her but gets a painful Groin Attack and a serving tray to the head that knocks him flat for his trouble. She is only deactivated when her brother Simon speaks a code-phrase that serves to knock her out. Her impressive capabilities come from a combination of Psychic Powers, extreme intelligence, and intense conditioning, which drove her insane. That's not even mentioning what she does to the Reavers at the end of the movie.

In Urusei Yatsura, Shinobu displays low-level super-strength when sufficiently provoked. This developed from what was originally comic relief slapping and hitting.

Lisbeth Salander in the Millennium Series is 4 feet 11 inches tall and looks like a child. She's no ninja but happens to be very good at avoiding getting hit, sneaking up on people, and incapacitating her opponents, whether it's with stones, golf clubs or nail guns.

Phoebe from Charmed does this occasionally but it's justified since she'd been shown practicing martial arts. In a few season 3 episodes Prue gained this for no apparent reason, even with Piper trying to keep up. Unfortunately, these scenes are made rather unconvincingly.

Played realistically in the Belisarius Series: Shakuntala is extremely fast and nimble, the prize pupil of India's most lethal martial artist and phenomenally strong for her size. However, she is tiny (about 90 pounds soaking wet) and that bites her on the arse a number of times.

Fiona from Burn Notice is a petite woman and no stranger to combat, but this trope is averted as she is a Combat Pragmatist. On one occasion she was supposed to take down a large man to interrogate him later. She tried using a stun gun but he disarmed her in the attempt. She managed to get it back while he was trying to wrestle her down. After the narration explained that stun guns will shock you if your target is holding onto you, Fiona proceeded to stun the guy anyway, knowing her backup was nearby. Leaving him having to deal with two unconscious bodies in a public parking lot.

In the first episode of Pokémon: The Original Series, Misty pulls Ash out of the water with a fishing rod, throwing him over her head in the process. A massive case of Fridge Logic.

City of Heroes allows you to make any class any size, but since they can all kick ass it's not impossible to meet up with tiny female front-row fighters.

Sailor Moon:
Makoto Kino isn't that huge a Huge Schoolgirl, but can take out grown men when provoked. She's explicitly shown studying martial arts (Judo in the manga and Crystal, Jeet Kune Do in the first anime).
Also, the petite Minako Aino. She doesn't show it as often as Makoto and is actually weaker (Makoto having actual Super-Strength), but Minako is just as devastating, in the anime. And in the manga, she actually knocked out Makoto herself (who was Brainwashed and Crazy at the time), with a single kick. It's hinted she learned Savate and has far more experience with it than Makoto.
In the anime, Michiru Kaioh. While tall as Makoto and only a few months older she's much slimmer... And then, when confronted by a horde of Germatoid clones, she proceeded to maul them with her bare hands before being overwhelmed by sheer numbers. The only foreshadowing we had were the many times she has been swimming (thus developing muscles) and her instinctively assuming a Pankration stance when she sees their numbers.

Played with in Noir, adding credibility to a show with an implausible body count in most of its fight scenes. The whisper-thin ur-waif Kirika is one of the two most lethal human beings on Earth. However, the writers never have her indulge in the sort of waif-fu that involves tossing grown men around like ragdolls without using their own weight and momentum to do so. She always uses weapons to make her kills—including, in one case, a plastic high school ID card, never her hands or feet, and rarely shows more physical strength plausible for her body frame. Her weapon of choice is a Beretta M 1934, which fires .380 ACP, a fairly small round, typically used for backup guns only. The only common rounds weaker are .32 ACP and .22 Long. Much less recoil than a .45, or even a 9mm, usually.

Ami from Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardians series is five foot one...and yet she took down dozens of vampires in one fight. It helps that she's been trained by people who literally have centuries of experience in fighting. And her enhanced healing abilities and other perks of being an alien from the planet Lasara don't hurt either.
