Hartman in Tropes

It was combat. Dead men were the point of the exercise.

Following on, it's time Hartman got her own tropes entry. The list is far from exhaustive, and I'll keep adding to it as lunch breaks allow.

Band of Brothers: The real reason Hartman came back to military life. Specifically, she has this attitude towards Lewis and Sius - despite the fact that they are no longer attached to the same unit. That's not to say that she's not fiercely defensive of the rest of the navy as well.
Beserk Button: It's 'Captain Hartman' or 'Ma'am.' Not 'Miss' and most certainly not 'Jane.'
Boarding Party: Hartman used to serve as a rifleman in one.
The Captain: She is Captain Hartman, after all.
Due to the Dead: Where she can. Hartman went to tremendous trouble - risking both Lewis' life and her own - trying to ensure the bodies aboard Alabama made it home for no other reason than she thought they deserved to rest in friendly soil.
I Gave My Word: Whatever her other faults when Hartman makes a promise, she keeps it - occasionally to her own detriment, such as butting heads with the LPI over a favour owed to an Order operative.
Knight in Sour Armour: Hartman doesn't honestly believe that Liberty's that much better than any of the alternatives but she cares enough about the Navy and the people in it to keep fighting for it anyway.
She Who Fights Monsters: Depending on how much you agree with Hartman's views on what defines a monster. She originally returned to the Navy as an officer hoping to bridge the gap between the enlisted troops on the ground and the admirals in their offices, hating the fact that the ones ultimately giving her orders were often in another star system - so far from the sacrifices she and her regiment were expected to make. Now a full captain, guess who commands the 21st from her desk on Manhattan?
The Stoic: Reprimands, certainly. Orders, absolutely. Yelling and screaming? When the situation calls for it. But when it comes to actual, real emotion, Hartman falls surprisingly flat. She's been playing at the impartial, stony officer for so long that it's started to take.
Undying Loyalty: Hartman is fiercely loyal to the Liberty Navy, and the sailors and officers comprising it. The Republic itself? Less so.
War is Glorious: Zig-zagged. Hartman enlisted thinking along these lines. Then she lost her friends at Black Rock and aboard an unnamed pirate destroyer and took a shrapnel wound to the face, dropping her heavily in to War is Hell territory for a while. Now, she's signed up a second time and grown to accept and even embrace conflict once again. If only because she believes she has no purpose in a world without it.
With Us or Against Us: Hartman's world is divided in to two very simple teams. Those who support the Liberty Navy and those who do not.
