 Lady Sybil and a swamp dragon
From Guards, Guards by Terry Pratchett.

"Even shorn of her layers of protective clothing, Lady Sybil Ramkin was still toweringly big.  Vimes knew that the barbarian hublander folk had legends about great chain-mailed, armour-bra'd, carhorse-riding maidens who swooped down on battlefields and carried off dead warriors on their cropper to a glorious roistering afterlife, while singing in a pleasing mezzo-soprano. Lady Ramkin could have been one of them.  She could have led them.  She could have carried off a battalion. " 

From The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett

"Lady Sybil herself usually wore ballgowns of a light blue, a colour often chosen by ladies of a certain age and girth to combine the maximum of quiet style with the minimum of visibility.  But dwarf girls had heard about sequins.  They seemed to have decided in their bones that if they were going to overturn thousands of years of subterranean tradition they weren't going to go through all that for no damn twinset and pearls."
