*** [[Characters/AvatarTheLastAirbenderPrincessAzula Princess Azula]] is this with both Ty Lee, and to a lesser extent, Mai.
*** Ty Lee is the most outwardly feminine of the trio, wearing lots of [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] and being a very [[CheerfulChild happy-go-lucky]] NiceGirl who favours a very [[SheFu acrobatic and graceful fighting style]] in comparison to Azula's brutal and aggressive one. In general, Ty Lee is genuinely a very gentle-minded and friendly person (when not pursuing the heroes, anyway) with a bubbly personality, while Azula is the exact opposite, being a relentless and psychotic warrior whose prim and regal front is only paper thin.
*** There's also Azula's tomboy to Mai's girly girl. While she puts on a stoic and brooding, snarky front, Mai actually has quite a lot of feminine qualities underneath. She can be quite romantic at times around Zuko and appears to have a fondness for fruit tarts with petals on them. She also hates getting dirty as shown when she refused to enter a slurry pipeline to chase her enemies. Meanwhile, despite indulging in her servants pampering her up during her leisure hours, Azula is otherwise anything but feminine. She is a cruel and ruthless militaristic young girl and warrior of the Fire Nation who as a child rejected dolls (aside from having them so she can display them with their heads cut off) and favoured knives. She is incredibly violent, competitive, and powerful. Even when she tries to be [[FemininityFailure more romantic and girly]] and get herself a boyfriend, she messes it up by rambling on crazily about world domination.

*** This dynamic was switched in the season 9 episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E13BetweenDarkAndDawn Between Dark and Dawn]]". Celestia planned to do all sorts of thrilling and adventurous activities, like going over an InevitableWaterfall in a barrel and riding a rollercoaster, while Luna wanted to do relaxing and usually more stereotypically feminine activities, like getting makeovers and going to the theater to see a pony version of Theater/Wicked.

I haven't seen the episode in a while but I do remember that on the vacation, LUNA was the more feminine one and CELESTIA more of a tomboy.


** The [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]], studious and unkempt Twilight (for example, Twilight claims the pink streak is not a fashion choice but a natural part of her hair, and she admitted in one episode to not caring how it looked) is also the tomboy compared to the [[VanityIsFeminine vain and narcassistic]], somewhat flamboyant Trixie's girl girl, especially considering how many times Trixie's been seen in the spa. The two are minor [[TheRival rivals]] of sorts in the show, and Trixie's overbearing boasting and image hyping often drives Twilight crazy.

Even the other tomboys, such as her sports buddy Margo or the similarly abrasive Ronnie Anne, are relatively 'girly' in comparison.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' has headstrong StrawFeminist Wendy Testaburger who - as episodes like "Breast Cancer Show Ever" shows - [[CuteBruiser is strong enough to beat up others]], in contrast to Bebe Stevens, who [[AllWomenLoveShoes loves shoes]], is a cheerleader and is seen wearing makeup in one episode.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' has headstrong StrawFeminist a downplayed example between Wendy Testaburger who - and Bebe. Wendy does have her own share of feminine character traits, but she is strong-willed, very aggressive and physically tough when the situation calls for it, has shown to be quite foul-mouthed at times, and is usually the girl least likely to blindly conform to a demeaning girly stereotype. In "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset" and "The Hobbit" for example, she rejects joining the other girls in being a bratty whore or in getting obsessed over amplifying her appearance via Photoshop. Bebe, on the other hand, is considered the girliest of the group, conforming to these trends the most as episodes like "Breast Cancer Show Ever" shows - [[CuteBruiser is strong enough to beat up others]], in contrast to Bebe Stevens, who well as having the greatest love for [[AllWomenLoveShoes loves shoes]], is a cheerleader and is seen wearing makeup in one episode.shoes]].

** Rose Quartz and Jasper. "The Return" introduces [[TomboyishName Jasper]], villainous foil with a [[ItsPersonal personal grudge]], a disdain for Earth, loyalty to TheEmpire, and [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinist]] attitudes. Because each is a quartz, Rose and Jasper have some physical traits in common: they both have the same size, a similar HeroicBuild, and equally-long hair. Their self-expression, though, could not be more different. Rose seems femininity incarnate: a FriendToAllLivingThings, graceful, beautiful, wears long white dress and huge [[RoseHairedSweetie pink]] RegalRinglets, and has a [[PinkMeansFeminine pink rose motif]] in all her weapons, powers and artifacts. Jasper is thoroughly TheBrute: [[RatedMForManly brawny, ruthless, aggressive]], and growling orders at anyone she considers subordinate.
