Drama summons at least a gentle gust to blow your hair around. Conversely, awkward situations temporarily still the surrounding atmosphere.
Even if you're fighting god himself, you can always get strong enough to defeat him through hellish training and/or sheer determination.
When sexually harassed, women temporarily become strong enough to send men into space. Screw you, NASA, we can just accidentally grope this woman and get punched to the moon.

Many girls suffer from a very sudden, extreme case of bipolar disorder (I.E. Tsundere). Conversely, some may be the opposite and show little emotion (Rei and Yuki are very good examples).
Heroes are innocent kids, brooding emos, or muscleheaded/very determined badasses. For some cases substitute "brooding" for "whiny" with emos (I.E. Shinji at times, though as far as I'm concerned some of that whining is justified and he gets too much hate).
