I'll start. qt girls in nice shiny plate. Not "had to grab the armor 'cause there's no men left to swing a sword" but nice, sweet, waifu-worthy girls in fancy armor.
Easy. The girls are the princess's royal guard/tutors. They protect her, even at formal affairs (where they need armor that's as spiffy and dressy as it is protective.) But they also tutor her in how to be a lady.
The lady-knights are true ladies *and* true knights. They know just as much about the correct way to set out a four-course meal, or how to properly address the thirty-third earl of whatever dutchy as they do about hacking and slashing.
You could even have a mix of ages. Teen-level ladyknights offer a peer-level friend who the princess could go do girl stuff with, but are already fully vetted for security, older onee-chan type figures who'll teach the girl how to be a woman, and a few older matronly woman who'll put the finishing touches and bring the wisdom of the ages.
cool... but you're supposed to post something of your own.
postan some more qt knights
Alternately, you could have them as some form of royal bodyguard for the *prince.* Tap into that maternal instinct and they'll fight twice as hard to protect their charge, and classical methods of seduction won't work on ladyknights. You also have some /ss/ action with the tender knight teaching the prince the ways of love.
I suddenly had the mental image of a handful of amazonian women in gleaming plate hiding behind a bush, fighting over the one spyglass as they observe the prince's date. Occasionally, he'll find a way to excuse himself from his lady, dart over to the Fully Armored Bush and ask for a bit of advice.
Alternately alternately, make them all lesbian? Or make them all lesbian, but don't tell anyone and put them as guards for people you don't entirely trust. You might be able to play a "she seduced me!" "Ha! I was gay the whole time!" ploy, but that would only work once.
can't really. ladyknights is my thing too, soooooooo~
These threads force me to accept that Veeky Forums will always have its population of cringe-inducing idiots with no sense of self-awareness.
They're counselors. After a particularly harrowing war with multiple PTSD cases, the army decided to commission a unit of therapists. They do medic work when there's nothing else to do, but their main job is to keep an eye on mental stability. They're women in armor to act as a sort of midway between hardened veteran and ignorant civilian, so the soldiers don't worry so much about accidentally harming the person they're talking to. They're also trained a little bit in actual combat to understand the soldiers better and because the last bunch of therapists got slaughtered in the war.
>really long hair in combat, whether male or female. The kind where even a ponytail is impractical.
Balkans: Sworn virgins allow the women to swear off womanhood and become men, which means they can be knights.
Israel: Women teach men how to fight before they go off into battle due to a tragic loss of knowledge in previous wars. Then you can say they keep the peace locally.
The women are sterile, so there's no reproductive reason to keep them safe at home.
Reality-warping: Women and men are not sexually dimorphic in terms of upper-body strength, so they are just as capable as fighting as men are.
I may have a fetish for Centaur, so they're almost always present in my campaigns, but never in a way that feels forced.
To expand on the above with my own fetishes, ladyknights. Lady knights who kick ass. While having one or more buns in the oven at all times.
My fetish is the rape and mind break of warrior women into willing harem girls/sex slaves.
Good fucking luck thinking up a justification for that, Veeky Forums
