* Zig-zagged in ''Series/{{Farscape}}'': Moya is a SapientShip symbiotically bonded with a [[WetwareCPU Pilot]], who regulates most of Moya's functions and serves as the intermediary between the ship and her crew. So, while not a direct embodiment of the ship, Pilot still fills the role of Spaceship Guy in the story.

*** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E8LetsKillHitler Let's Kill Hitler]]", to keep himself focused when dying (exceedingly painfully) from poison, the Doctor has the TARDIS create a holographic interface, which is capable of looking like anyone. He finally settles on the child version of current companion Amy. However, she ''definitely'' doesn't act like Amy, speaking more like a standard ComputerVoice (but giving one moment of Amy-ness as moral support.) Interestingly, a comic book miniseries involves the TARDIS manifesting holograms of companions, but it's... different. Read above in that section if you dare.

Radchaai absolutely does have gender.


* ''Literature/ImperialRadch'': The main character of ''Ancillary Justice'', "Breq", is technically One Esk Nineteen, a MeatPuppet soldier carrying the last fragment of the consciousness of the starship ''Justice of Toren''. Note that Breq is not quite an example of this trope because she lives in a society that does not have gender, despite the novel using the female pronoun for everyone in that society.

* ''Literature/ImperialRadch'': The main character of ''Ancillary Justice'', "Breq", is technically One Esk Nineteen, a MeatPuppet soldier carrying the last fragment of the consciousness of the starship ''Justice of Toren''. Note (All or most starships, plus large constructs like orbital space stations, are run by AIs, and the net effect is very much like a GeniusLoci.) To what extent Breq is or considers herself to be human is a major theme of the trilogy. Of Radchaai's two genders ("it" for artificial intelligences and "she" for humans and presumably aliens, though there aren't any aliens in the Radch and very few in this universe overall) Breq consistently prefers "it"--but there are also clear signs that Breq is not quite an example of this trope because she lives in a society has grown far beyond what other AIs have been able to achieve, and that does not have gender, despite both Breq and the novel using the female pronoun for everyone in that society.other AIs are aware of this.

Though she's well-aware of her nature as the ship's mind and can get very hyper when it comes to supplementing the ship's weaponry (which she refers to as "accessorising"), she's also got a very human-like personality. She has a particular distaste for Millie because Millie is insistent upon being the ship's cook... ignoring that she blows up the kitchen ''every single time''.

Throughout history, many countries have observed the tradition of always referring to ships and other seafaring vessels as "she." This even applies to ships named after men (e.g., the USS ''Ronald Reagan''). These traditions continued with [[TheSkyIsAnOcean the development of aircraft]], and the metaphor (in fiction at least) has also been extended to space travel.

So, what happens when the personification is taken a step farther? You get a walking, talking female avatar of a SapientShip--a Spaceship Girl.

She may be a [[{{Hologram}} holographic projection]] by the ship's computer, or she may be a physical manifestation created by BlackBox technology, she may be a WetwareCPU running the ship, or she may simply turn into a human [[VoluntaryShapeShifting when she wants to]]; but she ''is'' the ship, and thus requires special handling. Spaceship girls range from the deadly serious to the outright wacky, but they are never just machines. Hint: don't make her angry when you're parsecs away from the nearest planet...[[ComingInHot Or even if you're close to a planet.]]

Compare with RobotGirl, SapientSteed, and LivingFigurehead. A subtrope of SapientShip and often a kind of GeniusLoci. Related to ICallItVera and LivingWeapon. Psychologically related to CompanionCube. Might become [[RoboShip a love interest]]. See also LivingShip.

* ''Wandering Star''. The female alien Elli has the ability to physically merge with the ''Wandering Star'''s systems and run the ship in a far more efficient manner than when operated manually. She spends the majority of the series this way, within the ship, and communicates with the rest of the crew through the intercom.
* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' comic miniseries "The Forgotten", in which the Doctor and Martha Jones find themselves in a museum devoted to the Doctor's past lives, Martha [[spoiler:turns out to be a mental projection of the TARDIS itself, who can take on the form and personality of anyone who has ever traveled in the TARDIS, to aid him in a fight against an invader. Most of the personalities it takes on are female (but then, so have been most of the Doctor's companions)]]. A similar idea would surface in the TV series later on.
** In the ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' strip "A Life of Matter and Death", the TARDIS manifests a mental projection of herself in the form of a veiled grey lady.
* ''ComicBook/BetaRayBill'' has his battleship the Skuttlebutt, built from the same technology that empowers him and programmed to assist him in any task. In his 2021 solo series, she gains the ability to reconfigure her parts at will and uses this to incarnate as a fembot to talk to him face to face.

* Moira, the Second Officer aboard the ''FanFic/USSCrazyHorse'', is an ArtificialIntelligence who takes control of the ship's computer. Like other computers in ''Franchise/StarTrek'', she has a voice interface, but unlike them, she is also a woman, either in her organic simulacrum, or by projecting a hologram of herself.
* In the Buffyverse fanfic ''Ship of the Line: An Unquenchable Fire'', A cataclysmic version of the Halloween reality-shifting event creates a perfect, functional duplicate of the Executor, Darth Vader's enormous flagship from The Empire Strikes Back, hovering several thousand kilometers directly over Sunnydale. When Buffy (whose personality has been altered by her costume to be an amalgamation of herself and Vader) finds herself aboard the ship and entirely alone, she finds a way to load her dead sister's personality matrix into the ship's computers, allowing her to operate the titanic vessel and manifest herself as a holo-projection. This results in the full destructive power of an Imperial Super-Dreadnought resting in the hands of an eleven-year-old girl. Earth's military quickly regrets lobbing a pair of nuclear devices at the 'invading' starship.
* ''Fanfic/TheLastSon'': More like Space ''Battle Station'' Girl. The Kryptonian Defense Force built Battlestation Sentrius as their ultimate weapon, and it's outfitted with an A.I that makes it fully autonomous. Said A.I can project herself as a female holographic avatar to interact with her operators, and later builds herself a [[RobotGirl robotic body]] to do so on Earth.
* In ''Anime/TheMysteriousCitiesOfGold'' fanfic ''Fanfic/VoiceOfTheCondor'', after the Golden Condor gets shot down by [[BigBad Ambrosius']] men, Tao turns on a slew of new functions while fixing the Condor, one of which is a male Helper program that Esteban comes to call "Cibola". He acts to protect the Condor's crew from threats, and even helps Esteban improve at flying the Golden Condor. Late in the story, [[spoiler: with the help of Muran'Kel, Esteban's [[BrainUploading uploaded mother]], ]] Cibola gains his own holographic avatar, resembling an Inca warrior wearing orichalcum armor and a high-tech flight helmet.

The protagonist even assumes that [[RoboShip she and Mieli are lovers]], but Perhonen explains that they are just good friends.
* In the ''Literature/RealmOfTheElderlings'' series, there are sentient ships with [[LivingFigurehead animate figureheads]]. Some of them are males, though.

* ''Series/{{Andromeda}}'' and the titular starship, with her holographic and robotic avatars: Rommie, the ship's AI given an android body. The ship's AI also looks like Rommie, though the two became separate characters to a degree.

** In Andromeda's case, it lead to some name confusion, since there was also a tactical analysis version of Rommie, as well as the basic ship AI and the android. This occasionally led to disagreements between them.
** The only real difference between Rommie and the ship was that the android avatar experienced emotions. When Rommie is destroyed, Harper creates a new Android named Doyle from the leftover parts, who thus has the same access codes as Rommie.

The phrasing used when the subject was first raised indicated it is prohibited, though the implication was that the reason for that is not an aversion against robosexuality ''as such'' (being sapient the ships are part of their own crew, so the captain entering a relationship with the ship or an android avatar would be undue fraternization between a superior officer and someone under their command).

* ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'' ''VideoGame/AceOnline'' has the Lombax Akron First Fleet Flagship, which can be owned by the brigade of a certain nation after a war that takes place every 6 days. The main computer of the battleship manifests itself as a hologram of a seemingly female robotic head. The hologram itself doesn't interact with you apart from giving you management options for the base you own, though. Although one has to admit, according to the storyline, the Akron was built by Barkians, and Bark city was destroyed around 140 years prior to the player's timeline, [[FridgeLogic which means that the poor hologram girl has been trapped alone for 140 years]], maintaining an abandoned ship Aphelion.that gets some nasty wars between ANI and BCU every 6 days and then it has to cope with brigade members that are possibly not nice people ''over and over again''.

They can still equip their rigging and guns and float on water, but otherwise they function as normal human beings with a few ship-related quirks off-duty (notably, there's still a building called a Canteen that serves oil, even though they can eat human food just fine). {{Mook}} enemy ships are just plain ships, but bosses tend to be other shipgirls who nonetheless carry boss-tier guns no matter what category (from destroyer to battleship) they actually are.

Enemy ships also qualify, with the exception of the smallest destroyers.
* Nova from ''VideoGame/{{Battleborn}}'' who's the titular group's ship. She typically uses a holographic blue skinned female avatar when talking to characters. Although simply a ship AI, in the pre-mission briefing of The Saboteur mission, she mentions wanting to being put in a robot suit.
* ''VideoGame/TheJourneymanProject 2'' has Arthur, a space''station guy'', created by Dr. Kenneth Farnstien while on board his space station, Amarax. His integration is such that he can feel the craft "like a body", although the station itself has its own feminine ComputerVoice, which Arthur at one point calls "Mom". When you arrive, Farnstien is dead and the station's been hit by a meteor shower [[spoiler: and another time traveler who got there earlier tampered with one of his sculptures]]. Then, after reading your Biochip files, discovering that he will die in the future, Arthur copies himself to a blank chip you're carrying and becomes your RobotBuddy for the rest of the game.
Aphelion.



* The ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'' series gives us Leela, one of three sentient [=AIs=] running the titular ship. The other two (Tycho and Durandal) identify as male, though. At various stages all three of them are piqued about a variety of things, including Durandal's claim that his major function was opening doors before he decided to ... er ... ''promote'' himself to Deity.
* In ''VideoGame/AzurLane'', the [[MoeAnthropomorphism shipgirls]] actually ''are'' the historic, UsefulNotes/WorldWarII-era ships (or [[AlternateSelf at least retain all their memories of this time]]), but manifested as human girls thanks to ImportedAlienPhlebotinum BlackBox Siren technology. They can still equip their rigging and guns and float on water, but otherwise they function as normal human beings with a few ship-related quirks off-duty (notably, there's still a building called a Canteen that serves oil, even though they can eat human food just fine). {{Mook}} enemy ships are just plain ships, but bosses tend to be other shipgirls who nonetheless carry boss-tier guns no matter what category (from destroyer to battleship) they actually are.

to:

* Titania from ''VideoGame/StarshipTitanic'', who's sorry about the parrot, really she is. Her creator, Leovinus, is also in love with her. She has angelic statues all over the ship that double as her sensors, and there are even ''table lamps'' modeled in her likeness.
* ''VideoGame/SystemShock'''s Shodan is a space''station'' girl.
The ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'' series sequel gives us Leela, one of three sentient [=AIs=] running Xerxes, a spaceship ''guy'' [[spoiler: who eventually gets hacked and sublimated by a resurrected Shodan, allowing her to ''finally'' be a spaceship girl at last]].

* ''Literature/SpaceAcademyDropouts'' by Creator/CTPhipps (set 600 years before ''Literature/LucifersStar''): Trish is the ship’s AI and a GenkiGirl that has control over all major functions. That doesn’t mean she can’t be hacked, though.

* ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'' has AVA, the AI that controls the [[CoolSpaceship Crimson Light]]. While she doesn't have an avatar, she has a feminine voice and name. She's contrasted to HUE, who was also a ship AI until said ship was destroyed, forcing him to use a garbage robot for a body. They initially are [[SitcomArchNemesis Sitcom Arch Nemeses]], but they grow to respect each other throughout Season 2.

Rapunzel Hair is now a disambiguation page


* ''Anime/LostUniverse'' has [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1142146262764.jpg Canal Volfied,]] {{Meido}}-outfitted hologram with greenish-blue RapunzelHair. Though she's well-aware of her nature as the ship's mind and can get very hyper when it comes to supplementing the ship's weaponry (which she refers to as "accessorising"), she's also got a very human-like personality. She has a particular distaste for Millie because Millie is insistent upon being the ship's cook... ignoring that she blows up the kitchen ''every single time''.
