Listopia > Damsel FMCs Who Turn Badass Over Time

Want a break from FMCs who are undefeatable warriors from the beginning? How about a damsel FMC who turns baddass over time (usually with some help with swoon-worthy MMCs)? She doesn't turn into the absolute best warrior in the world but she learns to master her magic, gains confidence in her wits, and maybe even picks up some combat skills.
