** The [[HeroesWantRedheads redhead]] Kairi is the tomboy to [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Selphie's]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes girly-girl]] tendencies on Destiny Islands. Though Kairi could also be considered this to [[spoiler:Namine]] in [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII the second one]]. While Kairi's not as much of a tomboy as she was in [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI the original]] (as WordOfGod Nomura states it in the "KH Character Report" book), the duo of her and Selphie still seems to fit the trope simply because Selphie is so [[GenkiGirl gleefully]] girly that Kairi seems less so by comparison. The fact that Selphie has a pink-striped handbag with a Moogle charm while Kairi has a simple brown satchel also helps.

*** Also, the feminine-looking starter Pokemon Delphox and Primarina, which respectively resemble a witch and a mermaid. However, not only they can still be both genders, they're ''more likely to be male than female.''

* ''VideoGame/FZero X'' gives us [[ActionGirl Jody]] and [[IdolSinger Kate]]. In comparison, Mrs. Arrow, the [[BattleCouple wife]] of {{superhero}} Super Arrow, is a Tomboy to ''both''.

** On the Sliding Scale of Tomboyishness versus Girliness (which most certainly should be a trope): Princia < Kate < Lily < Jody < Mrs. Arrow; Even so, ''F-Zero'' ends up ultimately subverting this trope in spirit, as ''all'' the women are traditionally feminine at their core. Even Mrs. Arrow, ''by far'' the most [[Film/{{Aliens}} Vasquez]]-esque of the ladies in terms of personality and appearance (she's highly self-confident, more enamored with the F-Zero races than most of the cast, is one of the more seasoned and brutal racers on the track, and is a shown to be a [[AmazonianBeauty muscular--yet shapely]]--woman who takes up bodybuilding) is said to be a sweet, caring, kindhearted woman with a [[{{Socialite}} classy]], [[{{Omniglot}} elegant]] [[{{Ojou}} upbringing]].
