The Axe and Knife Girl meme features actress Mayah Sommers portraying a young Mary, Queen of Scots, confidently wielding weapons while walking toward the camera. The footage gained viral traction on TikTok and Instagram as users found the contrast between her youthful appearance and her menacing arsenal both humorous and relatable. It is commonly used to illustrate scenarios where someone reacts with disproportionate intensity or 'unhinged energy' to a situation. Whether it's defending a niche opinion or simply getting ready for a long day, the template captures the spirit of a person who is small but incredibly dangerous.
