| Exiern (Webcomic) | comment |
Exiern is a fantasy webcomic about a reluctantly female barbarian. The plot, which began as a riff off of an early storyline of The Wotch, is relatively simple: Evil wizard Faden, about to fall to the sword of hulking barbarian warrior Typhan-knee, tries to transform the hero into an animal and somehow transforms him into a woman instead. Since it can't be undone, the barbarian, now going by the name of Tiffany, goes on a variety of adventures.Originally written by Drowemos (despite the obvious connections to dark elves and whiny teenagers, it's actually "some word" spelled backwards) and illustrated initially by Drowemos (2005), then by Studio Boom (2005 - 2010) and Shipeng Lee of Drowtales (2010 - 2016), and currently (as of 2023) by Luis XIII. Later, the comic was sold to Dan Standing, as Drowemos got tired of working on it. The writing duties have since been handed off to Thomas Knapp, the writer for MegaTokyo's Endgames light novels. The writer duties then changed again to current owner Scott T. Hicken.Although it is one of a number of Webcomics with transgender themes, Exiern is infamous for both mocking and reveling in fanservice scenes; Drowemos in fact paid for his web hosting bills by selling access to the uncensored comics (as well as a number of other R and PG rated bonus comics) using a membership system. The membership site has since been spun off as something completely separate, and a Patreon page is now available for fundraising - although some bonus art does still include nudity it is no longer the dominant material available.Drowemos is also the author of the web manga Blade Bunny.Note that thanks to author swaps and ongoing site rebuilds, most of the links below are broken.Note : the new website appears to be up at https://exiern.thecomicseries.com/ However not all pages have been reposted yet. | |

Sure, Let's Go with That: Drowemos admits to it having happened at least twice, once in response to reader demand, once because of a divergence between the script and the art. | |

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Alien Biology: Dragons leave their young in the still smouldering embers of burnt out buildings, the baby dragons resemble normal human infants and grow up looking like (and thinking they are) humans until they reach their late teens when some sort of homing instinct draws them towards other dragons. They spend some time in a half-human/half-dragon state while they gradually lose their human identities, before growing into their final dragon form. Though this is partially Retcon'ed later, when revealed that the former happens as a result of the adult dragons being driven mad by an ancient power and trying to roast their own mates and offspring. Also squirrels "reproduce by magical cloning and there is but one all-squirrel connected through a collective psychic consciousness". | |

Tempting Fate: Niels finds out that saying your luck is getting better is just the cue for a more painful next encounter.

Lampshaded in the title of this strip. | |

Only the Chosen May Ride: Tiffany's unicorn. It will only allow Tiffany to ride it, whether this is due to her status as The Chosen One (although chosen for what, no one quite knows) — as revealed in The Wild North story-arc — or whether it is due to the traditional qualification for unicorns (something that would definitely disqualify Princess Peonie), we just do not know. Tiff and Peonie bring it up. | |

Asskicking Leads to Leadership | |
| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_1cc527d7 | comment |
Asskicking Leads to Leadership, mixed with Authority Grants Asskicking. King Urtica can lay a smack down just as well as his hulking 8-foot-tall bodyguards. Although he's certainly not the conquering warlord archetype, and he does have a great talent for subtlety and chessmastery, King Urtica expressly says that this sort of thing is why he stays on the throne: At one point he manages to punch out Tiffany in one shot, payback for her punching him in a rage earlier and trying to claim it was a gesture of respect among her people. He says he just wants her to know he respects her back. Peonie was shocked, but Tiffany thought it was Actually Pretty Funny, and tells her to lighten up. | |

Royals Who Actually Do Something: Urtica is a very busy working monarch who starts off as a playful tyrant, but it quickly becomes clear he is deeply burdened by the hard choices he has to make for his country and family. Peonie really wants to not be a working princess though, and is desperate to avoid the trap of duty and retain her freedom to have adventures. | |

Set Swords to "Stun": The King's Praetorian Guard actually can do this, their BFS are shown crackling with magic and the next comic has Tiff waking up in a cell with a headache. Turns out Tiffany's sword can be unknowingly non-lethal despite her attempts if that'd be better off for her. | |

Loss of Identity: The result of dragon adolescence, which is a bit of a Downer Ending for Denver. Whether Tiff is dealing with this, or she is simply learning to be more mature about things is up for debate. Given Tiffany's level of misogyny this could be seen as a Karmic Transformation. | |

Tiffany hates Teresa for several reasons: They are both under a Gender Bender spell but Teresa actually seems happy about it, the guy Tiffany tries to tell herself she's not in love with seems interested in Teresa, and both Tiffany & Teresa are equally bigoted against each other's culture.

First Law of Gender Bending | |
| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_352b9aba | comment |
First Law of Gender Bending: Not only is Tiffany unable to transform back to a male, but her condition is contagious, as a male water sprite, an itinerant young wizard, and a crew of priests attempting to reverse her condition find out. Played for Laughs when one of the priests, newly transformed back into a (younger and significantly more attractive) man sneezes... and reverts to female — implying, perhaps, that the "curse" can be suppressed but not dispelled. In fact, the condition is quite virulent — Tiffany accidentally converts a male water spirit, who uses his/her new femininity as a lure to capture travelers — including one powerful young spellsinger who is captured and transformed by the water spirit as a divine sacrifice note The exact situation is somewhat complex and rooted in the strip's backstory, but the water spirit is a follower of one of two sets of gods, neither of whom is believed to be around anymore., and after escaping, wonders what's going to become of her (foreshadowing the later matter of Sister Theresa). note And also carrying the now-dead water spirit's soul within her, which comes back into play much later. | |

Long Hair Is Feminine | |
| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_433396da | comment |
Long Hair Is Feminine: Because Tiffany's curse can further transform its victim based on their view of what femininity means, her extreme sexism causes her to temporarily become a thin, weak girl with extremely long hair. Though Character Development restores her fighting skills (and her physique), her hair remains hip-length from that point forward. | |

What a Piece of Junk | |
| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_437e70f5 | comment |
What a Piece of Junk: North Wind a legend among the northern barbarians, is a blade with the power to "never fail its wielder". In reality, it is an unassuming longsword with absolutely no ornamentation whatsoever that nevertheless is imbued with powerful magic. It's done things such as render its blows nonlethal despite Tiffany's lethal intent when killing would be an immensely bad idea for her (such as when she tried to take the sword to King Urtica). | |

Black Comedy Rape | |

Black Comedy Rape: The original version of the first storyline has Tiffany lamenting that she can no longer rape the women of defeated towns; Peonie briefly scolds her, the whole thing is Played for Laughs, and it's never brought up again. The author seems to have realized how awful this exchange was, since it's absent from the redrawn version. Though it turned out he never did anyway even though he tried to take interest in doing so. | |

Body Horror | |
| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: In addition to what happens when dragon offspring undergo puberty, (which, in universe, is considered rightfully horrific in its own right) the latest update has Coriander's followers in the Church of Rem cast shapeshifter spell-singer magic on Typh. Unsurprisingly, it rebounds. Surprisingly, it not only turns the very same clerics into young girl children, it magically seals their mouth shut permanently by growing skin over them. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Daniel, a soldier, accidentally rips off Peonie's and Isabel's clothes when passing right between them running with swords and bows. Isabel immediately tries to beat him up — and what does Peonie do? Get him naked, tie a pink ribbon around his "parts" and send him with the rest of his workmates like that. | |

Supernaturally-Validated Trans Person | |
| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_7b60cf | comment |
Supernaturally-Validated Trans Person: Zig-Zagged with Typhan-Knee/Tiffany, Depending on the Writer. Drowemos wrote her as quite literally a straight woman who merely remembers being a straight man. Dan Standing changed this to Typhan-Knee having been either a gay man or a trans woman, who was then transformed into a cis woman. Scott Hicken seems to have gone the other direction, treating him/her as a de facto trans man: still gay, but with a male gender identity. One (but just one) of the Gender Bent priests seems quite thrilled by the prospects of his newfound femininity. (The rest find his/her reaction to be extremely annoying.) | |

Heel Realization | |
| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_9591377d | comment |
Heel Realization: Tiffany hates Teresa for several reasons: They are both under a Gender Bender spell but Teresa actually seems happy about it, the guy Tiffany tries to tell herself she's not in love with seems interested in Teresa, and both Tiffany & Teresa are equally bigoted against each other's culture. After Denver gives her the appropriate What the Hell, Hero?, Tiffany finally realizes what a Jerk she has been to Teresa. Later Teresa gets one as well, after Typhan-Knee explains the root of his animosity he has for her. Specifically, that Teresa having been a transwoman even before the curse, he was hoping she'd be more supportive of his current situation (Him basically being a transman now), but he didn't get that from her. As seen here and here. Also continuing Typhan-Knee's own heel realization from above, she does admit that most of his anger towards Teresa were unfounded. | |

Faux Affably Evil | |
| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_95b7c400 | comment |
Faux Affably Evil: Faden. He's pretty much Exiern's version of The Joker, cracking jokes and being friendly even when he is trying to kill you. He's in the evil game as much for the lulz as he is the power. | |

Chainmail Bikini: Thoroughly averted for Tiffany, who is not at all comfortable with her female body, and whose ceremonial armor given her by King Urtica is feminine but covers fully. Until she tries to wear other outfits, and the curse gets "inspiration" to mess with Typh. | |

Distressed Damsel: Peonie has a tendency towards being kidnapped by various folks. When she was rescued from Faden's clutches she admitted "I was really scared this time" showing that it wasn't the first time (or last). She's later asked how many times she's been kidnapped, and she replies "Five." Then when asked whether that included being mind controlled and attacked by a spellsinger, she adds "Um... seven." | |

With Faden seemingly gone, Peonie has taken over as the strip's prime snarker. | |

Accidental Marriage: Tiffany managed to get herself engaged to Peonie's father the King, but no one told her. Part of the reward for rescuing Peonie was A Royal Hand in marriage and since she no longer qualifies for Peonie's and has insisted on the full reward...It's good to be the king. She beats the truth out of Peonie offscreen after the identity crisis arc and she and King Urtica agree to call it off. | |

Abomination Accusation Attack: Tiffany despises Teresa, among other things because Teresa is happy with having been magically turned into a woman. In one very public argument, with the population of Teresa's home city as audience, Tiffany talks as if it was a fact and common knowledge that Teresa is a Pedophile Priest child-molester. We later learn that Teresa is falsely accused. The actual villains framed her to keep her from exposing them. | |

Genius Bruiser: Niels, the easily eight-foot-tall knight who is a juggernaut in battle, is also a deeply philosophical man. While he doesn't like the northern tribes for making his sister a concubine and then getting her killed in The Purge (she turns out later to have joined them voluntarily and then fought to the death), he also believes there's no point in a Cycle of Revenge. He also lampshades the trope, reacting derisively to people thinking he was Dumb Muscle by pointing out that Manipulative Bastard King Urtica isn't the type to want Dumb Muscle. | |

Zig-Zagged with Typhan-Knee/Tiffany, Depending on the Writer. Drowemos wrote her as quite literally a straight woman who merely remembers being a straight man. Dan Standing changed this to Typhan-Knee having been either a gay man or a trans woman, who was then transformed into a cis woman. Scott Hicken seems to have gone the other direction, treating him/her as a de facto trans man: still gay, but with a male gender identity. | |

Our Dragons Are Different: Besides sharing a type of Hive Mind, they also start their lives looking like ordinary humans until they become a kind of hybrid in their adolescence before becoming part of the Dragon Collective when fully grown. They also seem to possess minor shapeshifting and size-shifting abilities. | |

Reset Button: One story arc had a big buildup about Tiffany changing personality and losing abilities due to Internalized Categorism. As this plotline progressed, the author got bored with his work and quit. The new author quickly inserted a quick Epiphany Therapy (delivered by a bitchslap to the head, no less) and then moved on to a completely different plotline. | |

The Good King | |
| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_db912a80 | comment |
The Good King: Urtica, surprisingly. He very briefly seems like a stereotypical fantasy king and displays a Stay in the Kitchen attitude towards Peonie, but it becomes rapidly evident that he's actually a Manipulative Bastard and is trying to instill the same skills of court intrigue in her. And he's firmly on the heroes' side. | |

Cue the Sun | |
| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_dc9b1fe9 | comment |
Cue the Sun: Tiffany's identity crisis arc starts during an evening dance, and follows the stages of night, with her slowly realising she is losing her grip on her identity, to a complete breakdown into a fragile little girl around midnight, and a massive set piece battle where she saves the day and acknowledges her new identity, just as dawn breaks over the battlements of the castle. | |

| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_e4c95972 | comment |
Innocent Bigot: Teresa. She doesn't seem to have realised that virtually all her "compliments" towards Tiff are nearly all racist in some way, which has the effect of making her something of a Jerkass. However she does genuinely admire Tiffany to the point of calling her "one of the country's greatest heroes" and seems to consider her a close friend. This only serves to wind Tiff up even more. | |

Accidental Truth | |
| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_e784bb8c | comment |
Accidental Truth At one point, when discussing the life cycle of dragons, Tiffany says that she never sees baby squirrels and she figured dragons were the same, Faden remarks, sarcastically, "that they reproduce by magical cloning and that there's really only one all powerful "all squirrel?" we see a squirrel on a nearby branch thinking "They know!" This is referenced a number of times later in the series, though it never directly impacts the plot....yet. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Exiern (Webcomic) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: When we learn that Tiffany is learning to read, the first thing she does is to hit Peony for lying about what her shirt said. In 2005, Tiffany notes that while her name in the southern tongue sounds feminine (that is, "Tiffany" verses "Typhan-knee"), in her native tongue it's masculine and means, "He who hunts by the light of the northern ice stars." Faden, being himself, comments that Tiffany means, "She who hunts diamond charm bracelets with her daddy's money." The joke doesn't come up again until ten years later, when someone shows up at King Urtica's gate demanding an audience with She Who Hunts Diamond Charm Bracelets With Her Daddy's Money. Another member of the "tiger person" race shows up in the "Northern Wind" arc, and is comedic, at first, but then the Mingalow shows up, and all the comedy disappears. | |
