** Ginny Weasley takes this to a bit of an extreme. Not only is she the only girl in a family of seven children, WordOfGod says she's also the first girl born to the Weasley family in several generations.
** Interestingly, it's not Ginny, but Ron who feels like TheUnFavorite. The last book reveals that one of his [[ClassicalAntiHero many]] insecurities is that, as the youngest boy, he's his parents' last ''failed'' attempt at having a girl.

** Ginny's mother, Molly, is also the only girl of three siblings. Sadly, she's the only one left, as her brothers, Fabian and Gideon, died during the First Wizarding War.


Added DiffLines:

** Myrcella Baratheon has an older brother, Joffrey, and a younger brother, Tommen.


Added DiffLines:

** Daenerys Targaryen is the youngest of the Mad King's three children who survived to adulthood (although she never met Rhaegar, who died before she was born), as well as the only girl. She is certainly [[YoungestChildWins the most successful]].


Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/{{Ramayana}}'': Shurpanakha, the Princess of Lanka, is the only girl of the four half-demonic children born to the sage Vishrava. Averting the CuteMonsterGirl trope, she is as every bit hideous as her brothers, although she can glamour herself into a beautiful woman.
