added Justice League example

Added DiffLines:

* [[{{JusticeLeague}} Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl]] are a partial subversion. While both come from ProudWarriorRaceGuy backgrounds, the former was literally a HotAmazon from LadyLand while the latter was more of a SergeantRock type from a society where men and women fought together. WonderWoman looked more feminine, superficially, but was often TheStoic who was often perplexed by "man's world" while Hawkgril was a far more vulnerable, if also far more grizzled, GoodBadGirl. WonderWoman had SuperStrength while Hawkgirl had [[{{WhatkindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway}} little more than a pair of large, cumbersome wings, a mace]] made of Unobtainium, and a BadassNormal attitude; both managed to be pretty intimidating in their own specific way.

* Takenouchi Sora and Tachikawa Mimi from ''DigimonAdventure''. Makino Ruki and Katou Juri from ''DigimonTamers''. ''DigimonAdventure02'' kinda-sorta subverts the trope: there's two girls (Hikari and Miyako), and, while the series doesn't focus on them much, they are something of an OddCouple; a better description of them would be [[TheChick a Chick]] and GenkiGirl.

** The first series gave us [[{{Tsundere}} Hayase]] [[BrokenBird Misa]], and [[SpoiledSweet Lynn]] [[IdolSinger Minmei]]. In addition, the [[FourGirlEnsemble four]] BridgeBunnies in the SDF-1 are also quite girly, but arguably Kim is the more tomboyish and Sammie is the girliest, with Claudia and Vanessa in the middle.

* Skeeter was [[AffirmativeActionGirl created]] for the ''MuppetBabies'' cast to be the tomboy to Piggy's girly girl. However, although Skeeter was the athlete and Piggy liked pink and lace and make-up and tea parties, Skeeter was actually rather nice, and Piggy was [[SuperStrength super strong]], super bossy, and super un-ladylike.

** ''PowerRangers Mystic Force'' is an interesting twist on its sentai counterpart, ''Magiranger'', in its rare-for-PR use of this trope. In ''Mystic Force'', The Blue Ranger, Madison, is the serious, down-to-Earth one, as is her sentai counterpart... but the ''Pink'' Rangers bear ''no'' similarities, ''Mystic Force'''s being a HotBlooded {{Bokukko}} and Magiranger's being a sweet {{Kawaiiko}}. In other words, Blue remains essentially the same person in both versions, personality-wise... but winds up being the tomboy figure in one and the girly girl figure in the other because of the ''very'' different Pinks.
*** ''Changeman'' had the short haired tomboy Mai contrasting the more graceful and feminine Sayaka. Interestingly though the roles would change depending on who was writing the ep. An early ep had Mai as the serious one who wanted to focus on Ranger work and the fight against the big bad while Sayaka wanted her to blow it off for awhile and do girly things. Then a later ep had the same thing only with Mai as the girly one and Sayaka as the serious one. Ohranger's girls had a similar dynamic with one being the compentent one and one being the Chick varying between the eps.
*** ''Liveman'' had the team member, Megumi, as the tomboy while the ally Colon (whom herself is a machine) is the girly-girl. Sometimes SuperSentai would have the lone female as a tomboy with a non-member counterpart as a girly-girl. Or vice versa, as in ''Hurricaneger'' where team member Nanami is the girly-girl and mentor Oboro is the tomboy.
*** ''Shinkenger'' once again inverts the usual trend. Kotoha/Shinken Yellow is much more soft spoken and feminime. While Mako/Shinken Pink... while not outright a tomboy, usually plays the part of a [[CoolBigSis cool, reliable big sister]]. [[LethalChef She's also a horrid cook]].

** The twice-royal sisters in the Trickster books could be interpreted this way, despite the fact that they both share characteristics from both sides. Sarai is more athletic, true, but she also enjoys getting dressed up more and has more fun messing with boys, while Dove is quieter and much more of an academic/scientist. Later, after Sarai leaves, we have Aly as the tomboy and Dove as the girly girl.
