Is there any work where a female warrior just rides off into the horizon towards endless adventure and battle and blood and guts?

AYRT

[(Anonymous)]

Well at the end of Pratchett's Monstrous Regiment Polly says fuck this shit, I'm going back to being a sergeant and saving my country, my brother and his new girlfriend can have the babies.

Re: AYRT

[hiyami]

*thumbs up* for Monstrous Regiment ending.

[(Anonymous)]

I can't think of one off the top of my head, but since the male warriors who ride off to endless adventure and battle and blood and guts make me gag, I may not have read it if it's out there.

[(Anonymous)]

Many Tamora Pierce heroines do! With or without marriage.

[silverau]

Charlotte Doyle? She's not technically a warrior though.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow. I haven't read this book in years. But, yeah, she did run away to have fun sea adventures and stuff. So go Charlotte!

[diet_poison]

I loved that book! read it over 10 years ago...

[(Anonymous)]

That's what I'm trying for in the story I'm working on. So...maybe there will be an actual published example of such a work some day? :)

[(Anonymous)]

I think OP wants an actual published work though, not self-published.

[darkmanifest]

The finale of Xena: Warrior Princess. All I got off the top of my head.

[(Anonymous)]

All I could think of was Mary Poppins, which is a bit of a stretch in terms of her being a warrior..

[(Anonymous)]

There's the Darkangel Trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce. The main character is a meek li'l slave at the beginning and... well shit, just by mentioning it I feel like I spoiled it. *lol*

[poisonarcana]

Oh my gosh, I loved those books. I felt really badly for Ariel and Irrylath, though.

[camwyn]

The Deed of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon ends with Paksenarrion Dorthansdotter, having become a legendary paladin, riding off to a distant land to continue doing legendary stuff. bonus points for the female warrior being asexual in a quasi-medieval society.

[(Anonymous)]

that's whar i've been trying to remmember. +1

[caerbannog]

As far as I recall, Elli in Tomorrow When the War Began and Tarma in Vows and Honour by Mercedes Lackey.

That's all I can think of...No wonder I dislike the epilogue.

[(Anonymous)]

Balsa in Seirei no Moribito leaves at the end despite her sort-of thing with Tanda, because she has other business to take care of, but I don't know what happens to her in the novel series after that point.

[(Anonymous)]

At the end of the movie "The Quick and the Dead," the Lady tosses the sheriff's badge to her almost-love-interest and gallops off into the sunset, clearly on to new adventures.

[insanenoodlyguy]

In the comic Daisy Kutter (scifi western) the protagonist, a female gunslinger, settles down, but does so as a sheriff of a town in somewhat less then safe territory. That work?

[diet_poison]

To be fair, Katniss wasn't really a warrior by profession. She was sort of forced into it.

[(Anonymous)]

na

i kinda of think warrior and fighter is different? she wasn't a warrior, but she was a fighter because she was in the situation and fought

rather than dying like most stories will do to a girl

[(Anonymous)]

The Quick and the Dead springs to mind.
