well, and her whole schpeel about their drawbacks, too.. I mean.. she’s got a point. All that loose, flappy fabric, just begging to get caught on something, or grabbed, etc?
But a cape, properly weighted along the lower edged won’t flap and makes a handy entangling and/or flexible club that that can do a number on someone. Courtesy of Vlad Taltos.
Magic’s pretty common in the wapsiverse, maybe Cricket has some ideas to toughen it?
I’m surprised it isn’t magically badass just from proximity to the Guardian of the Forest.
On that note….
What happens when you’re the Guardian and you give ANOTHER Guardian AND part of the Forest a present?
I figure my dragon knows a few inscriptions that allow for her to transform without ruining her more favored garments. So.. yeah, wouldn’t be surprised.
Puts a very different spin I someone taking off their jacket before a fight. If she leaves the jacket on she’s gonna go easy on you (and her jacket). But if she takes off her jacket AND her boots….
A motorcycle is going to attract unwanted attention from dudebros, too, not that the stinkweed can’t put them in their place. But constantly having to deal with them, WITHOUT needing MIB to clean up your mess, would get very tiring very quickly.
Plus unwanted attention from the local mundane (not part of the para community) cops when they see someone riding a motorcycle who doesn’t appear to be old enough for a driver’s license……..
Wisdom!
Science!
Develop a leather-like material that can resist plasma streams.
Are dragons sapient in this universe? If not, maybe some dragon leather.
You need to find a maaage!
Wonder how many of the crew that gave Monica a lift (when she needed such things) still hang out at the biker bar.
Get it enchanted by Harry Dresden?
Lol, yeah, that, or visit Edna Mode
I’d go Edna, myself. Never wanted a cape anyway. There’re just too flashy.

You mean like this Akamr?

@Hawk – not to mention a strategic butt covering.
I think Bruce Wayne would likely have a few things to say to her about the merits of Batman‘s cape. 😏

If it’s cow leather, it’s not really a forest thing, so I would not be surprised if the Law of Contagion was weakened.
Now if Shelly was a Guardian of the Clover Pasture and Milking Shed, then yeah, Cow Leather of Power.
If not Cricket, Phix will at least know where to look for the spell/information.
She has access to The Library. Surely Phix knows of a spell or substance that will render the jacket Pickle-Proof.
That’s an interesting thought… it might explain a bit about Phix’s wardrobe options as well. Must be hell trying to find a shirt in Giant Cat XXL.

She needs a jacket made from Nemean lion hide.
Now THAT would be cool.
Timmy?
*SIGH* Alas, such is the life of a near-indestructible para…
Humming a few bars of “Born To Be Mild”…
Yeah, suck to be that awesome. There’s a trope for that…

TVTropes dive … resisted! VICTORY!

Also, motorcycles don’y attract disappointed looks from Tante Phix, or disapproving ones from the MIB.
And if she gets a motorcycle she’ll need a licence.

‘Hard Core Goober’ Own it…
Maybe she could be a stunt rider. She could do the most horrendous wrecks and walk away. Or scooch away.
Again, kind of hard to tell whether Atsali is being serious or sarcastic.
Atsali’s eyes in the bottom panel, when she talks about arm wrestling at biker bars. 😒
