Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak

She may be a pink princess and a Damsel in Distress, but that doesn't mean she can't play sports, go-kart and kick villain butt in her own peachy way.

This is a Girly Girl who has some tomboyish qualities or interests. She could have an interest in boys' sports, hate the color pink or love boyish colors, not mind getting messy, be a Big Eater, or hate dresses and wear baggy pants. Perhaps she was once a tomboy who had a Girliness Upgrade and never did quite do away with aspects of her old tomboyish personality (in which case Tomboy Angst doesn't apply). In other words, this character has a girly appearance, but her interests are a mixture of girly and tomboyish interests, and her personality can swing either way.

Sometimes, Depending on the Writer, she may be the more boisterous one when that's usually the tomboy's job in their Tomboy and Girly Girl dynamic and the tomboyish one becomes more softspoken, though it doesn't always stick. Note that being an Action Girl is not exactly tomboyish by default, as a Lady of War and a Girly Bruiser can attest. Girly Gamer Chick might count in the context of Most Gamers Are Male.

Inversion and normal foil is Tomboy with a Girly Streak. Distaff Counterpart of Real Men Wear Pink, a Manly Man with a Sensitive Guy streak. See Otaku Surrogate if her boyish interests are used for pandering to male demographic.

Examples:

Anime & Manga

• Albegas: Hotaru. She has a very feminine appearance but her hobbies (playing sports and tinkering around with robots, being 1/3rd of the main Super Robot trio) push her into tomboy territory.
• Ai no Wakakusa Monogatari: Amy is quite a bit more energetic and playful in this version due to being aged down, though still tries to be ladylike.
• Asobi Asobase: Despite being the most outwardly feminine of the Pastimers Club, Olivia has a passionate love of sumo wrestling and is distraught when she learns that only men can become sumo wrestlers.
• Ao from Asteroid in Love is introduced as a tomboy with Boyish Short Hair, to the point that Mira mistook her for a boy. In the present day, she's a soft-spoken, quiet girl with Girlish Pigtails. However, she still maintains a few masculine traits, such as poor housework skills and a preference towards black coffee, as well as being good in science, up to and including reading Science Fiction.
• Azumanga Daioh: Osaka dresses in elegant outfits and generally has a "southern belle" air to her, which contrasts humorously with her non sequiturs about hemorrhoids and sea slugs.
• Orihime Inoue from Bleach is a sensitive, nurturing, gentle girly girl with Barrier Warrior powers and long hair... and surprisingly boyish interests like sci-fi, robots, boys comics, karate, etc. She and Ichigo are implied to trade manga volumes at some point.

• Jeri Katou from Digimon Tamers always wears a dress and loves cute things, but her definition of "cute" includes Guilmon (whom she sticks a pink flower sticker on upon meeting him for the first time), and she's secretly very into the Digimon card game. Unlike most female characters in the franchise whose Digimon partners tend to be cute and/or feminine-looking Digimon, her partner is the very masculine Leomon.
• Doctor Slump: Midori Norimaki is a very neat and ladylike woman who is portrayed as a sweet teacher and later as a dedicated housewife. However in some episodes of the anime, she's shown to be very athletic, and she is scary when angry.
• Shizuka Minamoto from Doraemon is known for being a proper and ladylike sweet girl whose favorite hobbies are bathing, baking sweets, and playing piano and violin, and she usually wears pink dresses and cute skirts. "Tomboy" is probably the last word you'd use to describe her. However, all her best friends are boys, and while she's not as into reading comic books or playing video games as Nobita and the others, it's shown a few times that she doesn't mind doing those activities with them. She also expresses boyish interests at times like climbing trees, but was forbidden from doing so by her mother. Occasionally, she has shown interest in playing male roles for school plays, like at the end of Nobita and the Legend of the Sun King. And when she and Nobita swap bodies, she actually starts enjoying his rough, boyish lifestyle, to the point where she refuses to switch back despite Nobita being miserable in her body. She only changes her mind after realizing that Nobita will see her body naked when he takes a bath. The American dub even gives her a Tomboyness Upgrade, partially rewriting her personality to be more tomboyish and athletic.
• Dragon Ball:
  • Bulma is spoiled, vain, very flirty and boy-crazy (especially in the original series), likes bathing, dressing sexy and putting on lipstick, and is openly proud of her beauty. She's also a tech geek and is ready to go on adventure with Goku and other male friends.
  • Kale's soft-spoken voice and personality, along with her traditional feminine attire, contrasts with her mentor's tomboy equivalent. That said, once she gains a confidence boost, on top of accessing her Super Saiyan forms, Kale becomes eager to fight fast and ferociously.
• Mimi from Duel Masters, who is super-girly until it's time to throw down, which she does quite proficiently.
• Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics has Snow White as one. She's a very feminine-looking girl who is the Team Mom for the dwarves and has very long black hair with a red hair bow but is first seen happily getting up trees with her Canon Foreigner best friend Klaus to get her beloved apples and being scolded by her nanny for doing such "not-ladylike" things.
• In Kagerou Project we have Ayano Tateyama. She's definitely The Heart of the Dan and is a loving and gentle big sister to her siblings. However, she's loved superheroes ever since she was a kid, has always been assertive, daring, and leader-like, and loves shounen manga. Compare and contrast with her Tomboy with a Girly Streak adopted sister, Kido.
• Kill la Kill: Nui Harime speaks in a cutesy manner, wields a pink Parasol of Pain, and has the Wicked Heart Symbol on her pink earrings, the center of her pink bow, the collar of her frilly pink Minidress of Power, and the highlights in her knee-length twintails. In the original Japanese Dub, she also always calls herself boku, one of the masculine pronouns.
• Main heroine Sana Kurata from Kodocha is a cute and popular actress/model/idol who always wears skirts and Girlish Pigtails, but is also an outspoken Bully Hunter who is not afraid to stand up to boys, and her hyper personality and violent temper are not very ladylike.
• Akko Kagari from Little Witch Academia is largely feminine for the most part, but she has an incredibly fiery personality, is quite athletic and has no qualms about getting messy, even being proud of the scars she received over the years. She is also a bit unmannered and rude at times as well.
• Tsukasa Hiiragi from Lucky Star is generally girlier than her more tomboyish and outspoken twin sister Kagami, being soft-spoken and enjoying traditionally feminine activities like sewing and cooking. However, she has much shorter hair than Kagami does and often reads shonen manga in her spare time, with her favourite being Sgt. Frog (though it's likely that she just finds the frog characters cute).
• Both Nanoha Takamachi and Fate Testarossa from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha are Girly Girls but there is something about Fate which leads her to be referred as Nanoha's Prince^note  and shown in official artwork .
• Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Riko's often seen wearing skirts and she loves cute things. At the same time, she enjoys gym class and practices martial arts.
• My Dress-Up Darling: Marin Kitagawa is a Manic Pixie Dream Girl gyaru and a successful model who's also a big fan of otaku culture, including HGames. The series overall carries An Aesop that you shouldn't let your gender stop you from enjoying the things you like.
• My Hero Academia: Ochaco Uraraka is a girl with a very warm, lively, occasionally ditzy and overall Girl Next Door type of personality, her favorite food is mochi, she has a tendency to cling onto her friends when she's scared, and blushes up a storm whenever it comes to romance. Her hair is also kinda short and later styled in a ponytail and she is also shown to be quite entranced by 'manly' things much like Kirishima is, got insanely fired up about competing in the Sports Festival, and threw herself into learning martial arts to make up for her weaknesses.
• Naruto:
  • Ino Yamanaka is a very Girly Girl who loves flowers, fashion, and knows (and flaunts) her beauty and her sex appeal. However, she Used to Be a Tomboy, and still has some of her childhood tomboyish traits (such as a Hair-Trigger Temper not unlike Sakura's) and her really long hair is most often tied in a Tomboyish Ponytail.
  • Hinata Hyuga is a polite, shy, and soft-spoken Proper Lady, and heiress of the Hyuga clan, and in The Last she's shown knitting a scarf for Naruto. She's also a Girly Bruiser who doesn't mind getting messy, is a Big Eater, and prefers wearing baggy clothing. Although she has long hair in Part II and The Last, she has short hair more often, as shown in Part I, Naruto Gaiden, and the sequel Boruto.
  • In the sequel Boruto, Sarada Uchiha is a young Proper Lady who behaves polite, if a bit vain, is studious, enjoys watching romantic dramas and soap dramas plus wears dresses several times. She is also tomboyish, since she is serious, fiery, cynical, very confrontational and a very action-oriented Brainy Brunette who often chews out everyone and enjoys getting dirty and filthy just as much the boys do. Made more obvious visually, as she has short black hair and her ninja outfit has a qipao dress not unlike her mother's paired with shortpants and stockings.
• Neon Genesis Evangelion: Asuka Langley Soryu is a vain Alpha Bitch who in her off time, obsesses over boys (well, one older man to be precise; all other boys and men are just inadequate losers in her eyes), watches trashy romantic dramas, and her fashion sense (other than the mandatory plugsuit and school uniform) is rather cute and feminine, most notably with her iconic yellow sundress. But she's also a ferocious Hot-Blooded Action Girl who revels in her job as an Ace Pilot fighting alien Eldritch Abominations and has a rather aggressive fighting style, especially in End.
• Doremi Harukaze, leading protagonist of Ojamajo Doremi, is color-coded pink in her Magical Girl outfits and has a romantic obsession with boys. By the same token, she usually wears shorts when not in her witch outfits, can be aggressive when someone makes her angry, and is quite gluttonous for a girly girl; notably, her Trademark Favorite Food is steak.
• One Piece:
  • Hibari has a number of girly characteristics like hearts on her uniform, a small teddy bear on her backpack, and a blatant crush on Koby. She's also a trained sniper for a special unit in the military.
  • One Piece Film: Red features Uta, the Anti-Villain Childhood Friend of Monkey D. Luffy. While she was always a very pretty and feminine girl who loved music, eventually becoming an Idol Singer, flashbacks to their childhood show that her friendship with the very rowdy Luffy included a lot of challenges like arm-wrestling and eating contests which she would happily engage in (and win). She happily challenges him to the latter soon after they meet again.
  • Ghost Princess' interests are incredibly girly, but her speech patterns are incredibly masculine.
  • Though Hiyori grew into a refined princess, she keeps some of the tomboyish traits she had as a kid, like greeting her brother with a double-kick to the face, much to Momonosuke's dismay.
• Pokémon: The Series:
  • Dawn is about as girly as Misty is tomboyish. Dawn competes in the style-focused Contests, wears a lot of pink, has dressed as a cheerleader multiple times, and loves fashionable clothes. She also does not mind getting down and dirty with anything masculine, as she enjoys battle nearly just as much as Ash does and has no issue with participating in numerous sporty activities throughout the series.
  • Serena could also count as a milder version of this. While Serena participates in Pokémon Showcases, loves fashion, and is skilled at baking desserts and dancing (both formal and aerobatic), she also has a history of knowing how to ride on Rhyhorn, which leads to her knowing how to tame a Rhyhorn in one of the Showcases, as well as being able to ride on a Gogoat, and later on a Mamoswine. She also shows plenty of skill in battle despite it not being her main interest.
• Powerpuff Girls Z: Momoko Akatsutsumi/Hyper Blossom has a pink color motif, is very girly, and is a romantic, but is also a glutton who loves superheroes and comics.
• PuraOre! ~Pride of Orange~: This applies to all of Manaka's original circle of friends, who were part of the Embroidery Club but decide to take up ice hockey of all things.
• Revolutionary Girl Utena: Anthy deconstructs the Damsel in Distress role as she does have the potential to fight back (but her role as the Rose Bride doesn't allow her to) and is a demure Proper Lady. Turns out this is an act, as she sacrificed herself to save her brother as a child which led to eternal trauma that she suffers without complaint. And then she saves Utena and herself in the movie. She also has domestic skills like cleaning, likes snails and snakes, grows a spine as the series goes on, is more sexually aggressive towards Utena in the movie, wears armor, and rides on a horse in the opening scene versus her standard attire of dresses, and isn't that great of a cook. The only foods she can make safely are children's snacks like shaved ice. She also briefly disguised herself as Delicate and Sickly to get the drop on someone as part of an elaborate scheme between her and her brother. Her passive-aggressive nature ends up scaring a few people as well and can create a vaguely threatening atmosphere around her, not helped by the implication that she is slowly poisoning people she isn’t partial to.
• Marie Antoinette of The Rose of Versailles fits the girly girl role of the Tomboy and Girly Girl aspect due to being an elegant Princess Classic when compared with Bifauxnen Oscar, but she also feels confined by her royal status and wants to do things on her own like riding a horse. While she's occasionally referred to as "tomboyish" by other characters, this is largely by 18th century standards; her girly side is far more prominent, especially as she gets older.
• Sailor Moon:
  • While still looking very girly, fantasizing about boys, having/wanting an idol career, and having powers associated with love and beauty, Minako is also a Gamer Chick when few girls dared to even come near an arcade (and is once mistaken for a drag queen for this), talks in masculine slang and even swears, can't cook, scarfs down food people normally find in places where no girl would go alone, and one of the many skills she has from her Mysterious Past is a great martial arts prowess (Savate, apparently) and she's part of her school's volleyball team in both middle school and high school. In many ways, Makoto and Minako are exact opposites in their personalities: Makoto being outwardly tomboyish while inwardly feminine, and Minako being outwardly feminine while inwardly tomboyish.
  • Main protagonist Usagi is a Love Freak with very long Girlish Pigtails, is ditzy, romantic, emotional, cries a lot, and (unlike Minako above) she's terrible at sports. She just has a few traits, like being a Big Eater and liking comic books and video games (though, unlike Minako and Ami, Usagi isn't any good at said games)^note although liking comic books is by no means seen as a "boyish" trait in Japan, that make her less ladylike than her friend Naru early on in the series. Usagi's tomboy tendencies are to improve school performance which are unbearable at the beginning of the story.
  • Ami is always demure, shy, polite, soft-spoken, and ladylike girl, and even receives a Girliness Upgrade in the live-action. She also enjoys swimming, has Boyish Short Hair, is good at video games, and in one episode she can fix a car.
  • Chibiusa, mainly in the first anime. She's a Pink Heroine with pink Girlish Pigtails whose main power is the "Pink Sugar Heart Attack", which is all about sending tiny hearts to her opponents. This sounds as cutesy and girly as it can get, but Chibiusa is also a cheeky and hotheaded Little Miss Snarker who likes pranks.
  • Rei is spiritual and graceful, the most traditionally Japanese of the Inners, and other characters comment on her beauty regularly, but she's in the archery club at school, and the first anime adaptation gave her a fiery temper.
  • Yes, even Michiru, the most feminine of the Sailor Guardians, qualifies as this. An elegant and sophisticated lady, she takes pride in her beauty, her interests include painting and playing the violin, Usagi compares her to a fairy tale princess, and she eventually assumes the role of mother to Hotaru. However, she's also a great swimmer, and at one point, she beats a group of Germatoid clones with her bare hands.
  • Naru's mostly the girly girl to Usagi's tomboy, but also has some tomboyish traits like playing tennis and occasional Tsundere moments.
  • Yumiko doesn't seem to mind playing sports with her classmates at recess.
• Sally from Sally the Witch is described as tomboyish but seems more like a girly girl if anything. It's more understandable because her Rebellious Princess personality was considered tomboyish in the 1960s.
• Shikimori from Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie seems girly on the surface, and there are parts of her that are genuinely girly; she has long pink hair, loves cute things, and really desires to be seen as cute herself. However, as much as she tries to hide it, her more tomboyish self still comes out on a regular basis, usually through her incredible athletics, sense of danger, and general assertiveness compared to that of her meek boyfriend Izumi. She used to be a Bifauxnen with Boyish Short Hair in middle school before deciding to change her image for high school.
• Ran from Shugo Chara!. She's primarily associated with the color pink and she's more feminine than the tomboyish Miki, but she's associated with sports due to being born from Amu's desire to be more confident and athletic. This applies to Amu as well by extension since Guardian Characters like Ran are personifications of people's ideal traits.
• Succubus & Hitman: Downplayed with Gamou Riri, the protagonist's younger sister. She isn't super-girly but she's definitely not a tomboy. However, she has a soft spot for Sentai shows and collects their action figures, for which she was sometimes bullied when she was younger, triggering Old!Shouya's Big Brother Instinct. Our Shouya, a murdered boy whose soul was transplanted into Shouya's body via a mutual Deal with the Devil, gets in a fight with her in the first chapter over him not remembering this; he makes it up to her by bringing one of her action figures to her hospital room after saving her from a Serial Killer.
• Tokyo Mew Mew: Ichigo is a naive and romantic Pink Heroine (pink hair and pink dress in her Mew form) with love-based powers, but she's also a glutton, and the most Hot-Blooded and energetic in the initial trio, compared to wealthy ballerina Minto and Shrinking Violet Retasu.
• Twilight Star Sui and Neri: Shida has a longer hair and a feminine appearance, but she is more into things like engineering, as shown in Chapter 8 where her Goal in Life is to be in the career of space development. She's the mirror to the boyish but tomboyishly girly Sui.
• Narumi from Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku wears a lot of pink, likes cute things, and for the most part is pretty girly, but she tends to slip into harsher, more masculine speech when she's angry and is shown to be just as fond of shonen manga as she is of BL and otome games. This is best exemplified by her MMORPG character, who's an elf girl wearing frilly pink clothing; Kabakura assumes she must be a summoner, but she's actually an assassin since she wants her avatar to look cute but also likes having high attack and speed stats.
• In Voltes V, Megumi is a kunoichi who's specialty is throwing shurikens. However, she has a long Tomboyish Ponytail tied in a pink bow, and was also taught how to be a traditional Yamato Nadeshiko by her mother.
• Yotsuba&!: Ena is the Girly Girl to her friend Miura's Tomboy. While Ena dresses in a girly fashion and loves doing tea parties with her teddy bears, she is not afraid of frogs, bugs, or other icky animals and she doesn't hesitate to take the inner organs of a fish. All of these freak the more tomboyish Miura out.
• Your Lie in April: Mirroring Tsubaki's Tomboy with a Girly Streak. Kaori Miyazono's a fairly typical girl with typical girlish traits and interests, but is also so zealous about living life to her fullest that she doesn't mind getting wet or dirty, or playing games with local children, and is frequently just as aggressive and violent towards Kousei as Tsubaki.
• Zoobles:
  • Although she is typically girly both appearance and personality-wise, Coron isn’t afraid to do activities with Chevy and Panky that include practicing for a sport.
  • Peel is the only other female Zooble with some tomboyish traits besides Chevy, but even then, she's still girlier than her. In "Go for it, Panky," she becomes Panky's trainer to help him build his confidence.

Comic Books

• Due to the need of what heroics entail, really any superheroine who's a 'Girly Girl' falls into this by default. Supergirl and Mary Marvel are both very girly heroes, but are also Action Girl Flying Brick types.
• Helena Bertinelli, the Huntress, is ostensibly a very feminine woman. She's a teacher in her civilian life, who likes dresses, the colour purple, going to galas, art galleries, and a lot of female socialite activities. She's also a ruthless fighter and killer and is quite emotionally closed off, so if you met her in person it might be a shock to realise she's actually a girly girl. While her best friend Black Canary is a tomboy with a girly personality, Helena is a Girly Girl with a Tomboyish personality.
• Mary Jane Watson is a fashion model who typically embraces her very feminine appearance. She’s also a sports fanatic and isn’t afraid of taking out mooks who try and mess with her.
• During Terry Moore's run on Runaways, the very girly Klara took to wearing boys' clothes (because they were more modest.) By way of contrast, the very tomboyish Molly took to wearing girly clothes.
• Janet Van Dyne aka The Wasp alternates between a founding Action Girl Avenger and fashion-obsessed, romantic Team Mom. Overall, she's probably the most feminine of the Avengers' women and has an especially girly reason behind her Crimefighting with Cash nature, but that doesn't detract from the fact she's not afraid of a fight and can be One of the Boys when the needs arise.
• Lumberjanes: April looks like a cute doll and loves feminine hobbies like fashion, sewing, and throwing parties but has Super-Strength, is practically unbeatable at arm wrestling and quickly falls in love with roller derby.
• Mickey Mouse Comic Universe: Minnie Mouse is the quintessential girly-girl. And yet, as Mickey discovers in "Mickey Gets Stung" — take her to a particularly brutal boxing match because you're annoyed about her complaints of "unnecessary violence" and want to show her what real unnecessary violence looks like, and she'll proceed to be the loudest, most enthusiastic, and most foul-mouthed of the spectators, roaring for the boxers to beat the crap out of each other with such glee that even the other spectators start giving her weird looks. Her explanation for this apparent double standard after the match is over is that professional boxers are tough, they can take a little roughhousing.
• W.I.T.C.H.:
  • Cornelia is elegant, logical, comes from a wealthy family, is involved in a "fairy-tale"-like romance and dresses nicely, but she's also very argumentative, cynical, and doesn't mind getting her feet dirty when there's hard labor.
  • Hay Lin is creative, free-spirited, and loves both fashion and the arts, but she's also a huge nerd obsessed with comic books/anime, space and sci-fi stuff.

Comic Strips

• Peanuts: Lucy wears a frilly blue dress with a bow, is very vain about her appearance, and acts more flirty and romantic than all the other girls. Also, she plays baseball only because she has a crush on a boy in the team, and she's terrible at it. However, she's also known for being short-tempered and aggressive (sometimes even violent), and gets a Tomboyness Upgrade in later years of the strip, as she starts to wear pants more often and hang out only with guys, without losing her girly traits.
• Phoebe and Her Unicorn: Phoebe seems pretty close to half-and-half on this scale, but being best friends with a Unicorn tends to give her girly girl side more excuses to come out.
• In Stone Soup, Holly is definitely much more feminine than her younger sister Alix is, with her dislike of gross things and having a strong interest in jewelry, makeup, and other things typical of a girl her age. At the same time, she's an excellent basketball player and part of the middle school basketball team.

Fan Works

• After the Jungle Series: An inversion of how her mom was as a kid. While Megan does have some tomboyish traits, she's still way more of a Girly Girl than Helga ever was, being into stuff like dolls and tea parties (and liking a show called Miss Fluffy Happy Valley).
• Ben 10: Plumbers of Bellwood: Though still a girly girl, Gwen is also an experienced fighter, since she learned karate sometime before the beginning of Alien Force.
• Yoko Kamisaka is one of the more feminine characters in Butterfly Pretty Cure, down to her being a Supreme Chef and a surprisingly talented ballerina. However, despite her being girly, her wardrobe is anything but, plus she happens to be the ace pitcher for her school's baseball team.
• Cheating Death: Those That Lived: Peridot is described to be a proper lady who has immaculate hair and a fondness for candy. This doesn't stop her from appreciating comic books.
• Danny Phantom: Stranded: Star's a very feminine cheerleader who knows some martial arts, does bowling, and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty if needed.
• Chloe Cerise in Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail is a girl with long hair, wears a pretty white dress and she's good at cooking, loves reading and has a fondness for chocolate. However she's also capable of fighting with a steel piper (donut holer) like she's up to bat (because she is proficient at softball) has a love for macabre things, likes video games, and writes stories that involve demons. In the sequel story, Infinity Train: Voyage of Wisteria, her starter Pokémon is the cute and fluffy Eevee but she goes up against Team Rocket with nothing but a pipe and she wears overalls and long-sleeved shirts.
  • The alternate version fic Infinity Train: Seeker of Crocus keeps this trait and emphasizes that Chloe Cerise's also a romantic — she was happy to learn that Ryan and Min-Gi got married — along with showing more signs of her fashion leanings and proudly wears leggings, a top hat, and suit jacket.
• In the Luca fanfic The Story of Apollo, Daphne and Luca: An Italian Tragedy we have Rosa, a sweet, innocent girl with a strong love for romance who is at the same time not afraid to show a brasher, more authoritative side, like when she gave a push to Sofia when she started to make Luca uncomfortable with her swooning over Alberto or when she threatened Carlos to punch his face if he wouldn't stop to meddle in other people's affairs.

Rosa: Carlos I might be a lady but I'm not above punching your dumb face.

— The Story of Apollo, Daphne and Luca: An Italian Tragedy, Chapter 6

• Kingdom Hearts: Lelouch of Infinite Hearts: Despite being feminine in some of her appearance and speech patterns, Ingrid Brandl Galatea wishes to become a Knight more than some Noble Lady, making herself more of a Tomboy.
• Mary Jane Watson is this in Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light. She works as an actress and a model, has a massive shoe collection, loves the Twilight novels and the music of artists like Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber, enjoys attending high-class parties, is skilled at feminine pursuits like ballet, tap dancing and baking, is very good with kids and a very Proud Beauty who enjoys the admiration she gets from men and the jealousy she gets from other women. She's also a Fiery Redhead who's an expert martial artist and an Action Girl who's fought enough supervillains to form a Rogues Gallery as long as her arm.

Film — Animation

• Aladdin: Princess Jasmine has a very feminine side and isn't afraid to use her feminine wiles to help Aladdin and is always wearing fine jewels and clothes. In the TV series, she gushes over fashion. She is also strong-willed, a tough fighter, and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty.
• The Aristocats: Marie the female kitten is a self-proclaimed "lady", she acts prissy, loves romance, and tries to mimic the elegance of her mother. However, she still enjoys the occasional tumble with her brothers and claims that ladies may not start fights, but they can finish them.
  Duchess: Marie, you must stop that. This is really not ladylike.
• Beauty and the Beast: By modern standards, Belle fits neither the tomboy nor girly girl archetype, but has an overall graceful and feminine demeanor, and loves romantic fairytales. She's also a Spirited Young Lady who reads a lot of books, and makes attempts to get herself out of scrapes and create her own destiny as being something more than settling down and becoming a housewife. This makes her stand out among the villagers, especially given the traditional role of women during that time.
• Encanto: Isabella, which really comes to show once she realizes she doesn't have to be perfect all the time, as by the end of the film, she still dresses in a feminine manner, but her style has more of a punk vibe - her dress is now royal blue with wild splatters of other colors and she has dyed streaks of color into her hair. She also uses her gift to grow other plants besides the Flowers of Femininity she's typically associated with.
• The Jungle Book: Shanti, the sweet Village Fille Fatale and Girly Girl, becomes this in the sequel when she gets feisty, punches Baloo's nose, bangs on some gongs and starts loving the jungle more along with Mowgli.
• The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part: Finn's little sister Bianca uses a lot of traditionally girly themes in her builds, such as candy, cute things, princesses and such. However she also averts certain "girly" tropes like Princesses Rule, by having Susan relegated to the role of a servant in favor of a non-evil Queen. Since most scenes in the Systar System are from her point of view, she also seems fond of DC Comics, from multiple variants of Wonder Woman hanging out together, to the "Gotham City Guys" song heavily implying that she knows a LOT of Batman trivia. And she even seems to have a very unexpected fondness for Beetlejuice.
• Monsters, Inc.: Celia's very feminine, flirty and soft-spoken, but is implied to have an interest in monster trucks (if Mike's birthday date plans are any indication) and has no qualms about getting physical when she's angry with Mike.
• Peter Pan: Tinker Bell is a Fairy Sexy who has a cute, dainty, and delicate appearance, wears a minidress and elegant puffball shoes, likes to admire herself in a mirror, and is jealous of other girls interested in Peter. However, she's also adventurous, hangs out with guys, and likes fixing things. Later adaptations, like the 2009 animated movie Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure and the live-action film Peter and Wendy (2015) make her much more tomboyish.
• Shrek: Being born as a princess, Fiona acts like a Proper Lady, has a sweet personality, wears dresses, and likes fairy tale romances. It's revealed over the course of the movie that she is a martial arts expert and has gross manners that you wouldn't expect from a girl (she can burp even louder than Shrek), that's why she gets along with Shrek and loves her life as an ogre in Shrek's swamp.
• The Super Mario Bros. Movie: Princess Peach has a tougher and more goal-oriented attitude than the games generally present her, but her sparkly pink regalia and castle are lifted straight from them all the same.
• Tangled: Rapunzel has a very bubbly and sweet personality, normally wears very feminine dresses, and has hobbies such as cooking and sewing. But she also doesn't mind getting rough when in a fight and has an unwavering love for adventure.
• The Book of Life: Maria wears nice dresses and seems feminine in a lot of aspects, but her best friends are boys and she owns a pig as a pet. She also learned fencing and Kung-Fu while studying abroad.
• Toy Story:
  • Since the first movie, Mrs. Davis is a loving yet strict Almighty Mom and Housewife who also likes wearing feminine yet tomboyish clothes, joining her kids in playing and camping. She also has a Tomboyish Voice courtesy of Laurie Metcalf.
  • After spending the first two movies being a demure Proper Lady, Bo Peep stopped wearing her dress and starts moving around in her pants (though her pants are actually the undergarments she wore under her shepherdess dress), and also grew more tough and adventurous.
• Turning Red: Abby Park is pretty girly for the most part; she wears a pink sweater and purple overalls with flower decorations, heart-shaped earrings, a sparkly pink hair band in her long hair, and is the only one in Mei's group of friends who wears makeup. She's also the most prone to Cuteness Proximity out of her friends, and is crazy for boys and the Boy Band 4*Town just like them (probably even moreso). That said, she's still the loudest and most extroverted of her friends with more of a temper, and she is rather tough, strong, and can even be downright aggressive at times.
• Wolfwalkers: While Robyn is more feminine than the brash and boisterous tomboy Mebh, she still has a rebellious streak and doesn't always conform to her time period's gender roles. She wants to be a hunter like her father instead of doing housework in the scullery all day, and she wears trousers as well as dresses.
• Wreck-It Ralph: Vanellope's original character design (i.e. pink princess with a Pimped-Out Dress) and the very pink castle that used to be hers imply that she was originally a Girly Girl with a tomboyish passion for racing. Turbo dethroning her, locking up her memories, and making her adjust to living like a "homeless lady" where everyone hated her forced her to become abrasive, sarcastic and in-your-face confident. The end result was that she is purely tomboyish by the time she meets Ralph.

• The Eagle Huntress: Aisholpan is a 13-year-old girl who longs to be an eagle hunter, a traditionally male occupation in her Mongolian tribe. While Aisholpan loves eagle hunting, the film makes clear that in other ways she's a typical girly girl, who likes pink ribbons and painting her nails.

  • Avengers: Endgame: When we first see Morgan Stark, she's dressed in a pink swan cardigan, along with the mask that her father is creating for her mother's "Rescue" suit while imagining that she's a superhero in her tent (just like her father).

• Mean Girls:
  • For most of the movie Regina George is a fashionable queen bee obsessed with her appearance and social status. However at the end she joins the lacrosse team and turns out to be very good at it. It was her therapist's idea for her to start playing sports and let all of her anger out on the field.
  • The girl Jocks seem to have this vibe, outside their uniforms a few of them dress in a feminine manner (like the girl who threatens to kick Cady's ass if she mixes her up with a teacher) and are not above getting involved in the same petty things as the other girls in their school.
• Miss Meadows: Miss M is a very girlish woman, wearing a vintage dress and has quite proper, quaint manners. Yet she's also a gun-wielding vigilante who wages a one-woman war against crime, a traditionally masculine activity (with female vigilantes usually more straight tomboys when depicted).
• The blurb describes Annie James from The Parent Trap as a "fair rose from London" and she is the more proper of the twins, dressing in custom-made skirt-suits and well versed in etiquette, but she's also shown to enjoy fencing, swimming, horseback riding, poker, and camping in the California Wilderness.
• Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Caribbean becomes this during the original trilogy - she starts out as just a Proper Lady, and then she Took a Level in Badass, or actually several levels, going from Guile Heroine to Action Girl to Pirate KING. Even in the first movie, although a gentle girl, she had a hidden fascination for pirate lore.

  • Samantha is usually prim and proper and has a love for fashion, bows, and dolls, but has an action side for climbing trees.

She's also a big Quidditch lover - supporting the Tutshill Tornadoes since she was seven, and plays as Seeker for the Ravenclaw team.
• Ryoko Asakura from Haruhi Suzumiya is a seemingly stereotypical teenage girl who doesn't shy away from masculine interests. She actively participates in extracurriculars like the less feminine Haruhi does. Her true colors are a bloodthirsty psychopath seeking a reaction out of Haruhi by any physically violent means.

• InCryptid: It's hard to tell whether Verity is this or a Tomboy with a Girly Streak. She's a professional dancer and likes other traditionally feminine things like dresses, but she's also an Action Girl with short hair who loves climbing trees and buildings so much that her title is "The Arboreal Priestess". When compared to her sister, she's definitely the girlier one.
• Rarity and the Curious Case of Charity: Charity is into fashion, and many of the same things Rarity is into, but she's also excited when invited by Rainbow Dash to do some cannon balls at the pond and is interested in learning how to apple buck.

• The Twilight Saga:
  • Rosalie Hale is the resident beauty queen with a keen interest in fashion and her own appearance, and fits her (original) early 20th Century upbringing by placing great value on marriage, family, and especially motherhood. She's also a competent physical fighter (despite her lack of extrasensorial talents compared to her siblings), and the family's most skilled mechanic, one of her biggest hobbies being enhancing cars and tinkering with tools.
  • To a lesser extent, Esme and Alice, too: the former's most defining trait is being the maternal figure of the family, the latter is a fashion-obsessed Genki Girl who enjoys massive shopping sprees both for herself and the rest of the family (including a chagrined Bella). Both share with the rest of their family (including Rosalie) a love for playing baseball and don't shy away from physical combat when push comes to shove. Alice also has Boyish Short Hair.

Live-Action TV

• Penny from The Big Bang Theory is about 75% feminine and girly with her interests in boys, fashion, shoes, nails, and pursuing a career in acting but the leftover 25% of her are tomboy qualities: she's a very tough Girly Bruiser who can be The Lad-ette and knows more about traditional manly interests like football, hunting, shooting guns and fishing. That only serves to highlight that she is still more masculine than most of the guys on the show, as they don't know much about any of those things as much as she does and prefer video games.
• Baby: Chiara is rich, wears fashionable clothes, attends fancy parties and formal events, and spends much of the show using her feminine appeal. But she is also a competitive athlete who does running races.
• Bridgerton: Eloise Bridgerton and Kate Sharma famously share their cynical views toward the patriarchal high society.
  • Eloise has aspirations to be more than just a housewife and proper lady, which was taboo at the time.
  • Kate is very feminine — it's mentioned that Edwina learned everything that helped her become the season's incomparable from Kate — but in addition to her spirited personality, Kate also loves hunting as she learned it from her late father. The young lords at Aubrey Hall are rather shocked when they learn this since it's not a ladylike hobby.
• Sweet goody-two-shoes Det. Amy Santiago from Brooklyn Nine-Nine is very feminine since she dresses in pink or blue blouses, decorates her apartment with doilies, is fond of sewing, and is the Girly Girl to Det. Rosa Diaz's Tomboy. However, she is also extremely competitive, very ambitious, with dreams of being captain one day, and she really enjoys the action of chasing perps on the job. She is a police officer, which is a traditionally male profession, so her having a tomboy streak isn't that unexpected.
• Teenage Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer who loved cheerleading and was boy crazy, but also fought and slayed too. She later grows out of her preppy girly girl stage and falls in between tomboy and girly girl.
• Phoebe Halliwell from Charmed is the most feminine of the sisters, with a very fashionable wardrobe, a bubbly personality, and a very strong focus on love and romance in her storylines; she's also the first sister to learn martial arts to make up for her lack of offensive powers.
• Friends: Rachel Green is a spoiled rich fashionista stereotype, but being Joey's roommate in later seasons brings out the The Lad-ette side of her. She starts having fun with him, by dropping food on the floor, throwing huge spitballs at the entertainment center, or sitting in the reclining chairs while drinking beer (the things Joey used to do with Chandler). In one episode, Phoebe gives Joey drums, hoping this would annoy Rachel, but it doesn't work because Joey and Rachel start playing drums together. The same episode also reveals Rachel loves tarantulas and used to have one as a kid.
• Full House: Donna Jo "D.J" Tanner is quite feminine, composed, and well-behaved, and she has the normal interests of a teenage girl, like dating boys, especially in later seasons. She also like some sports like soccer and karate. Also, her In-Series Nickname "D.J" isn't so feminine.
• In Glee, Santana is very much a girly girl with her affinity for shopping, hair styling, tight dresses, and cheerleading. However, she doesn't like the color pink and her mom says that she should have known she was a lesbian because of how she used to play in the mud and had a mullet.
• Gossip Girl (2021): Julien shares the interests of her Girly Girl friends and is perfectly willing to wear more feminine attire. However, she's got a buzzcut and usually wears a shirt with a tie, or other boyish attire.
• How I Met Your Mother:
  • Lily is a motherly kindergarten teacher, an artist, and loves fashion and shopping. However, her feminist mother didn't want her conforming to "traditional gender roles" - as such she's a bit of a Ladette, who has a higher sex drive than her husband, drinks, gets in hot dog-eating contests and was known as a delinquent in her neighborhood.
  • Katie Scherbatsky is more feminine than her older sister Robin was at her age, but it's implied she also received the same treatment from her father in "Rally". In "Vesuvius" she is also shown playing hockey in full gear with Robin and drinking scotch while watching "The Wedding Bride 2".
• LazyTown: Stephanie is adorned in pink and is easily one of the sweetest characters. That said, she also loves physical activity and is probably the bravest and most proactive cast member, with Sportacus as her only equal.
• Leverage: This becomes key to Sophie's Character Development. The Grifter, known primarily for her fashions, honey traps, and social capacities, becomes a formidable physical combatant. Compare "The Wedding Job" with "The Reunion Job," where she throws down with the female hired gun.
• Liv and Maddie: Liv is fashion obsessed and boy crazy, loves her stuffed animals, and she's overall girly and proud, in contrast to her twin sister. But despite being the more girly twin, Liv has a sporty side. In one episode, in order to play the lead role in a basketball movie, she learns to play basketball and, after some training, she becomes very good at it, possibly good enough to rival Maddie. Downplayed since, even after that, she's not interested in playing basketball with Maddie and still prefers shopping.
• The titular character of Lizzie McGuire is normally a sweet and shy Naïve Everygirl, who clearly likes fashion (in one episode she becomes a model and in another episode she wants to be voted "best dressed" in her school). In "One of the Guys", she finds out she enjoys football and is quite good at it as well, and the conflict comes from the other girls who mock her for being One of the Boys. Lizzie then learns An Aesop that it's possible to be a Girly Girl and enjoy roughing it up.
• MasterChef:
  • US Season 2 had Jennifer, a former Beauty Queen who described herself as a "Boy with boobs" because she used to be a tomboy in her childhood.
  • US Season 8's Cate referred to herself as a former tomboy because she grew up hunting, fishing and camping with her dad, which gave her experience with meats like deer and trout.
• Modern Family: Gloria's way girlier than Claire, but she likes guns and knows how to use one better than Claire does.
• Once Upon a Time is just in love with this trope. Prominent examples include:
  • Snow White, every bit the Princess Classic, but she'll shoot you with an arrow if you come for her family, and had no problems living as a forest bandit after the Evil Queen exiled her.
  • Regina, easily among the biggest Femme Fatales in the series, with her Pimped-Out Dress and extravagant makeup in the Enchanted Forest, or very feminine business attire in Storybrooke... and scary anger outbursts. She's mostly feared as a Lady of Black Magic, but she can also kill you in a non-magical sword fight, and was an avid horseback rider in her youth.
  • Cinderella, who runs the daycare in Storybrooke, has no problem wielding a shotgun if push comes to shove.
• Power Rangers S.P.D.: Syd is a Lovable Alpha Bitch type of girl who, even before becoming a Power Ranger, was a fencing champion for three years.
• Jenny Lewis of Primeval is a glamorous journalist who is frequently dressed to the nines. In the Season 2 finale, she shows surprising prowess with a gun.
  "My friends liked the pony club. I preferred the clay pigeons."
• Riverdale:
  • Betty Cooper is girly and feminine, as she likes to wear dresses and she has a fondness for the colour pink. Not only does she frequently wear pink clothes, but her room is pretty much all pink as well, but she also has a tomboyish streak as she is mechanical and has a love of fixing cars.
  • Cheryl Blossom loves to be as feminine as possible; she wears make-up, jewelry, accessories, shorts, high heels and very stylish clothing in general, much like Veronica Lodge. But unlike Veronica, Cheryl displays less feminine occupations, like archery and her Nightmare Fetishist tendencies.
• Rizzoli & Isles: Maura is the girly girl next to Jane, with her preferences for dresses over Jane's preference for slacks and being somewhat nitpicky about having healthy habits compared to Jane. She also likes to exercise, doesn't mind talking about the properties of dead bodies and their bodily functions for her job which grosses Jane out, and she has an interest in science and is a Badass Bookworm in general. There are also occasions where Jane would take the damsel in distress role and she would take part in saving Jane.
• Alexis Rose of Schitt's Creek wears flouncy fashions and high heels has an elaborate beauty routine and her interests are primarily feminine. However, she also has an F-Class driver's license for light trucks, plays a mean game of pool, and has no problem sleeping in the cab of trucks.
• Stranger Things: Although a cheerleader who is considered very conventionally attractive, Nancy Wheeler changes into more masculine clothes, is a good shot and wants into the male dominated world of journalism.
• In an episode of That '70s Show, Jackie, normally very feminine (especially in contrast to Donna), a cheerleader and high-maintenance rich girl who can be an Alpha Bitch, helps Red fix a car, after Eric proves inadequate.
• The Suite Life of Zack & Cody: London is a prissy Asian Airhead fashionista who is materialistic and obsessed with shopping, but she is very physically adept, being good at martial arts and working out regularly. The tomboy streak was phased out in the sequel series, however, with Flanderization making her suddenly so incompetent at physical activity that she needed Zack to help her get back into shape.
• The Vampire Diaries Universe: Despite her feminine "girl next door" looks and demeanour, Elena Gilbert frequently wears casual and sporty clothes, and only really wears dresses or traditionally girly clothing when attending events.
• Wednesday: With her girly style of clothes, love of pink, stuffed animals, cutesy K-pop songs, and other things, Enid Sinclair is the most stereotypically feminine character in the show, but it's mentioned in episode 4 that (thanks to her older brothers) she shares their interest of professional hockey and thinks Way of the Dragon is the best kung-fu movie ever.
• Young Sheldon: Despite her love of dolls and dressing up, Missy asks George to teach her how to play baseball. Initially, she only wanted to learn to impress a boy she likes, but she genuinely becomes interested in the game and even tries out for her school's baseball team successfully earning her spot.
• Zoey 101: Zoey is a pretty, fashionable Dude Magnet who enjoys designing clothes, and her favorite colour is pink. She's also very athletic. Being The Ace, she tends to be good at everything, including sports (especially basketball).

Music

• Missy Elliot described Aaliyah as someone who "always made sure her nails were done, her perfume was right, and her bag had lotion and lip gloss" - but she still had a very casual, tomboyish image.
• Atomic Kitten's Liz had an image as The Cutie but is an avid supporter of Everton FC.
• The subject of "Pretty Girl" by Maggie Lindemann.
• Radio Tapok's song "White Lily" refers to the Luftwaffe "smelling" her coming, in reference to the fact that the eponymous Ace Pilot Lydia Litvyak was a girly-girl who liked to fill her Yak-1's cockpit with flower bouquets and put Nose Art of a lily on her plane. Litvyak is credited with up to twelve aerial victories before she was shot down at the Battle of Kursk.
• Girlish Pigtails and inclination toward pastel motifs + trained martial artist = Spice Girls's Emma. (Emphasized in "Say You'll B There," which had her billed as "Kung Fu Candy.")

Professional Wrestling

• Amber O'Neal is a high-maintenance hip hop dancer and founding member of the Southern Belle-themed Girl Posse Team Blondage, but in spite of hating broken nails, she's also a motocross racer and occasionally incorporates it into her wrestling career. Rival and later Team Blondage member GeeStar spends so much time roughhousing with the guys it is at times easy to forget she's a part of a Girly Girl stable.
• The "Fabulous Fire Bird Phoenix", who was something of a Tomboy with a Girly Streak contrasted to Amber O'Neal, became "The Glamazon Beth Phoenix in Ohio Valley Wrestling and was this trope for the rest of her career. Phoenix was comfortably in the middle of the tomboys and girly girls of her OVW class, fawning over Aaron "The Idol" Stevens, getting into borderline catfights on his behalf, wearing a tiara and freaking out over the dirtier members of the roster but still being an amateur wrestling champion with huge biceps and huger cheekbones, completely avoiding further toning down and held out the longest of any woman who made it to cable TV against the inevitable enhancement surgery. She was more girly than Alexis Laree, Jennifer Thomas, Trinity, ODB, Melissa Coates, and Serena Deeb but no more than Melina Perez, Shelly Martinez or Passion, didn't become more girlish the way Katie Lea, Josie and Jillian Hall did and was much more of a tomboy than valets Roni Jona and Cherry, most^*Lenda Murray was the exception that proved the rule, as she was passed up on for being too much of an "Amazon" of the magazine finds like Alicia Fox and Kelly Kelly as well as all the diva search picks like Kristal Marshall, Maryse and Maria Kanellis.
• Almost everything that could be considered both "evil" and "girly" was at some point applied to The Beautiful People. Madison Rayne stood out from the other members (the other females anyway) right from her first match with them where she used no kicks, did no tumbles, nothing showy, little in the way of hair-pulling or sneakiness, just chanceries, takedowns and lots and lots of punches. As opposed to hair spray or "the ugly stick", her preferred cheats were a loaded glove(more punching), motorcycle equipment and, if possible, the motorcycle itself. Granted, Rayne was something of a tomboy before she signed with TNA and was inserted into the girliest act it had going. But since she did initially serve The Beautiful People as their mole, it makes sense they wouldn't choose someone too much like them, and it also explains why she usually didn't get along with the rest very well.
• Carmella is a Good Bad Girl who loves fashion and is preoccupied with looking fabulous. But she also has brothers and claims to be tougher than all of them - making her a Plucky Girl in the ring.
• Alexa Bliss is a former model and cheerleader, with a love of rhinestones and everything sparkly. She was also a bodybuilder and won several fitness competitions.
• Bella Twins: Brie Bella is the Girly Girl to her sister's Tomboy - favoring more feminine Waif-Fu offense in the ring and girlier ring attire. Outside of the ring she's a Granola Girl and is actually the harder drinker of the two. She's also more likely to be seen dressed casually as opposed to Nikki's love of high-fashion dresses.

Toys

• Barbie herself is quite feminine but has had numerous camper and sports sets. She doesn't mind getting down and dirty.
  • Her friend Summer Gordon in Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse loves jewelry, wears dresses, and adores fashion. As mentioned, she's a former model who really likes sports.
• Bratz: Cloe's a very girly-girl fashionista but she is also into a wide variety of sports, namely skateboarding, motorcycling, and her favorite of all, soccer.
• Ever After High: Briar Beauty is a fashionable princess who wears a lot of pink, but she loves her HeXtreme sports.
• Lalaloopsy:
  • Several episodes of the show have Trinket Sparkles wanting to do something messy or rough, which her big sister Jewel doesn't allow as it is "un-royal". Jewel would end up joining Trinket at the end of these episodes.
  • Marina Anchors dons a cute sailor uniform with big bows and loves to complete chores. She also loves sailing and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty when she has to.
• Monster High: Some of Draculaura's outfits have masculine influences, like her signature look and her collector doll.

Video Games

• Animal Crossing has the Peppy villagers who are very girly and also gained a bit of a geek streak in New Horizons, as they occasionally talk about comic books and even play video games. They also love heavy metal and love listening to it, though they admit that they themselves wouldn't fit in the metal scene very much.
  • Bella in particular is a normal Peppy villager, but her default shirt has a flaming skull on it and she plays K.K. Metal in her home if she has a stereo.
• Phoebe from Battleborn is a stock Girly Bruiser, with all the glossy parts, being explicitly sensitive and is capable of being flirty. She's a very feminine and proper lady benefiting a rich heiress, but she's also an inventor and adventurer, creating fantastical tech and spelunking in ancient ruins. She can sometimes be a bit too into battle when fighting and has a thing for flying death machines. Furthermore, for a character who would be perceived as very dainty, her Legendary Challenge Gear is a pair of sneakers.
• Final Fantasy:
  • Final Fantasy VII's Aerith Gainsborough is a White Magician Girl who wears a long pink dress and sells flowers - but she also has a spunky, aggressive personality and wears boots.
  • Final Fantasy VIII has Selphie - a Genki Girl who loves cute things and is The Pollyanna to everyone. She's also Cute and Psycho, as she's a trained military SeeD.
  • Final Fantasy IX Garnet, the Princess Classic, White Mage, and lover of classic literature, has also got a highly adventurous streak and also proves to be a Plucky Girl.
  • Final Fantasy X has Yuna, though this side comes out more in the sequel. She's a soft-spoken Girly Girl in the first game, but gets slightly pluckier and can be any number of 'boyish' jobs - such as Warrior, Samurai, Dark Knight, etc. Her default job is as a Gunner.
  • In Final Fantasy XV we have Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, princess and Oracle of Tenebrae and the main hero's fiance. Kind, classically educated, delicate, and the very definition of a Proper Lady, but come in the novel Dawn Of The Future, we learn a few interesting bits about her. For starters, she's Minored In Ass Kicking, more than capable of taking care of herself (and others) through her skilled use of polearms and spears - she simply never found a chance to make use of that training in the main game. She's also a surprisingly knowledgeable gearhead, easily knowing her way around a motorcycle and its parts well enough to help Sol repair hers.
• Clair from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia has all the poise and bearing of a noble lady but also finds herself most at home on the battlefield to her brother Clive and childhood friend Fernand's surprise.
• Kingdom Hearts: Kairi's a very giggly and social girl, makes her love for Sora obvious, wears pink and her outfits always include a skirt or mini dress, liked picking flowers as a child and her Keyblade has a very flowery and colorful design, and she has a penchant for making jewelry out of seashells. But, in Kingdom Hearts, she's also One of the Boys planning on sailing out the world on a raft with her friends, and sports Boyish Short Hair. Even after her Girliness Upgrade in II she still wears sneakers with her minidress rather than more girly shoes, and in III her hair is shorter again and she's upgraded to what look like combat boots.
• The King of Fighters: Mai Shiranui is arguably the most feminine girl in the series, but happens to find metal as her favorite music. Plus she's VERY straightforward and open about her likes and dislikes, which some people criticize as "not very ladylike".
• Alisa Reinford in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is one of the most feminine girls in Class VII, but her family runs the biggest engineering corporation in the Empire and she's very good at fixing machines.
• The Legend of Zelda:
  • The incarnation of Zelda from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is said to be a Tomboy Princess and is apparently one of the most tomboyish Zeldas out there. However, she doesn't seem particularly any more tomboyish than other Zeldas. Then again, Link spends little time around her, so it's possible that Zelda is a tomboy by her times' standards or that she seems conventionally feminine because of the constraints of living in a medieval-esque era. She is able to easily pass as a boy for most of the game though.
  • Zelda again in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. While she is not normally an Action Girl, she does have a strong interest in venturing across the wilderness to research the ancient Sheikah Magitek, and she also gets excited rather than grossed out when handling a frog.
• Lyrica: Shiue is a sweet and demure Proper Lady who wears Lolita Fashion and is often described as elegant and doll-like. She also serves as her band's drummer and is interested in the technical aspects of sound/music production.
• The titular character from Ms. Pac-Man predominantly serves a Housewife role while her husband takes up a majority of the adventures to save Pac-Land, but when need be, she's also an Action Mom who can accomplish just as much as Pac-Man does.
• Neptunia: Nepgear, Uni, and K-Sha are girly, but they don't have girlish interests. They are interested in firearms, Nepgear, in particular, is generally interested in machinery. Nepgear and Uni try at one point to act like normal girls, but they get bored soon when they try to go shopping.
• Persona:
  • From Persona 3 there's Yukari Takeba who loves the colour pink, fashion, flowers and can be seen painting her nails in one of her idle animations. She's also a member of her school's archery club and is one of the more aggressive members of the team when it comes to fighting shadows.
  • Persona 4
    • Nanako Dojima is an adorable little girly girl who happens to find grasshoppers cute.
    • Yukiko Amagi is a Yamato Nadeshiko who's fond of telling scary stories that freak out Chie and even Naoto.
  • Makoto Niijima of Persona 5 may be your typical squeaky-clean Student Council President but make no mistake; she's also a Genius Bruiser, has a Hair-Trigger Temper, loves anything manly (such as Shōnen manga or violent action films), and her Phantom Thief attire resembles a punk Badass Biker.
• Pokémon:
  • Pokémon Masters: Candice is the Girly Girl to Maylene's Tomboy, but she's an ironically Hot-Blooded Ice-Type Gym Leader who's also quite tomboyish herself.
  • Pokémon Gold and Silver: Lyra wears short overalls befitting a rural, outdoorsy girl, but also has a giant hat with a ribbon and a pink Pokégear.
• In Roots of Pacha, Acre and Croll's youngest daughter Ata is a feminine-looking little girl, but she likes playing with the boys and helping her mother Acre out in blacksmithing.
• Sonic the Hedgehog:
  • Amy Rose's default outfit is quite stylish and girly, her fur is entirely pink, she loves cute things, fashion, shopping, cooking and sweets, is very romantic and is in the roles of Team Mom and The Heart, but she's also a formidable fighter and is very able to use her hammer, plus Amy's a Tsundere with a Hair-Trigger Temper that's feared by all (even the normally fearless Sonic)
  • Rouge the Bat dresses and behaves in a very ladylike manner at the surface, but her way of thinking and some of her interests are masculine.
• Lumina from Story of Seasons for the first chapter of the game. She lives in the only mansion in Forgotten Valley and plays the piano, fulfilling the usual role of an Ojou character, but she wears comfortable jeans to walk around the valley. From the second chapter onward, Character Development sets in due to the Time Skip nature of the game and her growing out of her teen years, and she becomes more of a Proper Lady as her grandmother continues raising her.
• Ibuki the girly ninja girl from Street Fighter despite probably being the second most girly character behind Karin has traits of this. She has a pet Tanuki called "Don-Chan", Tanuki are a dangerous animal to keep due to their wild instincts. She also tends to carry around sharp objects randomly in her casual outfits. Ibuki is also notable for being one of the few female characters to wear pants (jeans in her case) in one of her outfits, a rarity even for the pure tomboys (including Makoto). Other characters that also wear pants such as Juri and C. Viper are somewhere in between in tomboy and girly scale as they are both meant to be foils as sorts to the tomboy Cammy and Girly Chun-Li. She also has a professional ninja run and can handle weapons well.
• Super Mario Bros.
  • Now providing the page image, Princess Peach. In contrast to Daisy being mostly tomboyish. Peach's femininity is always played up, but she has just as much interest in sports and parties as Daisy, or any of the guys, and doesn't hesitate to get rough and tumble with any of them.
  • Toadette is very giggly and girly but enjoys playing in the sports and kart races her friends participate in. She also plays a big role in Captain Toad when she and him rescue each other from an eagle, and in Mario Maker 2, when she is one of the constructors that build Princess Peach's castle.
• Similarly to Ibuki, Tekken's Lili who is probably behind only Anna Williams on the Girly Girl scale (due to Anna having no tomboy streaks) has an outfit with pants (also jeans) that was made to be high contrast to her girly default dress. It should be noted that while pretty much all Tekken girls have access to jeans or some trousers those are customization options and not real outfits, not even most other tomboys such as her own rival wears such wear. Also in Street Fighter X Tekken one of Lili's titles is "Tomboy". The only other Tekken female to have such clothes is Leo whose outfit covers more than Lili's and is the truest tomboy of Tekken.
• Riley Miller from Valkyria Chronicles 4. She's the most fashion-conscious of anyone fighting in Squad E, to the point her Non-Uniform Uniform includes Proper Tights with a Skirt. She's one of the more organized and refined women around the base camp, and she even has unique, much daintier animations in battle. Those animations are for deploying the man-portable mortar cannon she helped design, with her passion for mechanical engineering.

Visual Novels

• Elcia from Area X looks very feminine, is a Supreme Chef and Guile Heroine, but she also a notable Blood Knight.
• CLANNAD:
  • Opposite of the Tomboy Tomoyo and her daughter Ushio, Nagisa is a Yamato Nadeshiko who handles her life in a roundabout way. She is a Big Eater when it comes to her favorite foods, open to learning about Tomoya's interests.
• Fate Series:
  • Luviagelita Edelfelt from Fate/stay night and Fate/hollow ataraxia has the looks and bearing of your typical Ojou, complete with ringlets, but she favors a fighting style that's essentially pro wrestling.
  • Saint Martha from Fate/Grand Order presents herself as a graceful, elegant woman of faith, and that is genuine for the most part...but she also has a more outspoken, Hot-Blooded side that she tries to keep under control. While she tries to be a Lady of War in her Rider form, her Summer form shows that she can also be a violent brawler who fights with nothing but Good Old Fisticuffs (and it's heavily implied that she actually tamed Tarasque by beating him into submission, rather than simply charming him with her elegant and ladylike ways like the stories say). She states that both sides of her personality are part of who she is, and official art of her depicts her in both masculine and feminine outfits.
• Higurashi: When They Cry:
  • Shion is very refined unlike her identical twin sister Mion (who is a Tomboy with a Girly Streak) but is just as spunky and is as much of a tease as her. She has some Hot-Blooded traits as well. Shion is a girly girl with some tomboy qualities because: Shion was actually born Mion, but was sent to a school that turns women into "proper ladies" when she was younger, because as a child she and the real Shion did a Twin Switch that accidentally turned permanent when one of them got a tattoo. She enjoys being a tease in general but when things get serious, she's not afraid of displaying her energetic determination.
  • Rika and Hanyuu may seem, at first, to qualify for this trope. They are seemingly girly at first, but they refer themselves as "boku". This is due to Rika picking it up from Hanyuu and Hanyuu coming from a time before boys and girls used separate pronouns. Rika switches to "watashi" when she begins acting her mental age and uses "boku" just to act cute. So Rika is a girly girl with a mature side and Hanyuu is only girly in child form, none having "tomboyish" streaks.
• The heroine of Kamigami no Asobi, Kusanagi Yui is a girly girl overall, being gentle, soft-spoken, and somewhat motherly girl with long hair. But she is also quite proficient in swordplay and is athletic as well. She also can be firm and very brave when she needs to be.
• Nayuki from Kanon is generally girly, having long hair and loving cute animals (especially cats). However, she's also athletic enough to be captain of the girls' track team at her school.
• Sasami Sasasegawa from Little Busters! is an Ojou who's generally very feminine, but she loves softball; she's the captain of the girl's softball team and the main reason she applied to the school is because of its softball program's good reputation. She's also not afraid to get physical when fighting Rin.
• Kotonoha Katsura from School Days may seem like an innocent Girly Girl on the outside, but she is into horror movies and practices iaido.

Web Animation

• Hazbin Hotel: Charlotte "Charlie" Morningstar has long hair and the sweet, naive personality of a typical Princess Classic, but she generally wears suits and prefers to go by the gender-neutral (but typically more masculine) name "Charlie" over her full name of Charlotte.
• The Most Popular Girls in School:
  • While obviously into traditionally girly things like fashion, the color pink, and men, Brittany Matthews also enjoys fights, cursing, utilizing weapons, and chooses to drink beer at a party in Episode 76.
  • Like the rest of the cheer squad, Trisha Cappelletti is girly but is into superhero stuff. She also knows quite a bit about tech and AV stuff, which is quite unusual for a cheerleader.

Webcomics

• Scarlet Lady: Sabrina and Lila like clothes and boys and such, but they also work off a lot of pent-up rage at the roller derby rink.
• Twentyfirst Century Fox At one point, we learn that Dr. Cavor has been this in the past. Dr. Cavor's musical tastes were "most unladylike".

Web Original

• Cracked: In "5 Lessons from 1970s Female Programmer" with Christina Hsu's mom, the titular female programmer^* (a very male-dominated profession in America). She tried to be a stay-at-home mom, but when she was, she didn't like it. But she was still very influenced by Chinese tradition and norms, including gender roles. She was very emotional, loved flowers, and would often force Christina into dresses as well as computer programming.
• Empires SMP Season 2: Princess Katherine of GlimmerGrove wears pink in her everyday outfit, likes building with a cute style and light/pastel shades, and is one of the nicest characters in the cast. She also has a muscular physique and moonlights as a Hunter of Monsters under the cover of darkness, and certainly has admirers (well, at least one) for this.
• Pirates SMP: El is a great artist, decorates her ship with a "girlypop" aesthetic, prefers treasure quests to ones that involve killing hostile creatures, and once even prioritizes a life-saving rescue mission for a visit to the hairdresser's. However, she would still be considered masculine by her misogynistic hometown's standards for cross-dressing and aspiring into a journalistic career typically only reserved for men there; she can sometimes be reckless, and is usually very outspoken.

Western Animation

• The Adventures of Puss in Boots: Although Dulcinea is usually very sweet and girly, she can be badass and tough when she wants to be, especially when the children are threatened.

• Alvin and the Chipmunks: Eleanor is a girly girl in school uniform-like clothes but can be a soccer player.
• The Amazing World of Gumball: Gumball's little sister Anais loves Daisy the Donkey, a few episodes show her having tea parties with her dolls, she often wears dresses (such as a pink and frilly dress for Halloween), and judging by her asking a princess tiara and a prince for Christmas and once getting sent to hospital for kissing frogs so they'll turn into princes, she seems to be in a Princess Phase. She also inherited her mother's violent temper and impressive fighting skills, is very sarcastic for a 4 year old, and despite waiting all day to watch a movie called A Pony's Tail Anais ended up hating it.
• Amphibia:
  • Sasha Waybright is fairly traditionally feminine (especially when compared to her more tomboyish friends) as she likes fashion, has a pink color motif, once imagined herself as a princess, and was an Alpha Bitch type of cheerleader back home, but also willingly became Grime's soldier, and has proved to be quite feisty and combative with a physically brutal side to her, even gaining a Tomboyness Upgrade during her time in Amphibia. She also has the longest hair out of the three girls which until her new look in season 3B is styled in a ponytail, and as a little kid attempted to deal with bullies the violent way, the last one being the reason why she's the "brawn" in the Beauty, Brains, and Brawn trio.
  • Ivy Sundew is very elegant, feminine, and graceful, but she is also a competent fighter and is well-trained in martial arts.
• Angry Birds Toons: Matilda, starting from this series, has some pink accents on her body to look a bit more like a girly bird, is the Team Mom of the Flock, and enjoys gardening. However, she's also an avid ice hockey fan who can kick butt both on the rink and in a fight, and while she doesn't like her cooking being insulted, she's a Lethal Chef as far as the birds are concerned.
• As Told by Ginger:
  • Ginger is a sensitive, somewhat gingerly, introspective girl... and also a self-proclaimed "science geek," and something of an Outdoorsy Gal (especially when it comes to Camp Caprice).
  • Miranda's into fashion, hair, and nails as much as the next popular girl, but she has absolutely no qualms about getting down and dirty, as shown in "The Summer of Camp Caprice." She also has excellent survivalist skills and enjoys driving speedboats.
• Avatar franchise:
  • Avatar: The Last Airbender:
    • Motherly and feminine as she might be, Katara is not afraid to go beyond her feminine looks and way of being to achieve what she wanted. When she and Toph were denied entrance to a rowdy pub because the both of them were girls, they dressed up as boys. Katara, in particular, showed her masculine side when wanting to ride the pub's mechanized bull; being even willing to start an all-out brawl with some of the men there who mocked her ability to stay on the bull. The whole thing ended with Toph dragging Katara away before things came to a head. The two later went to a spa and reflected on how being a girl was not so bad at all.
    • Ty Lee is a cheerful Girly Girl who's well known for her mastery of chi blocking and takes well to working in the military (even if she would prefer the circus). She also doesn't hesitate to jump into a drainpipe filled with mud, which her friend Mai adamantly refuses to do.
  • The Legend of Korra: Asami Sato is first introduced as very girly compared to the tomboyish Korra and remains so for the rest of the series, being a Spirited Young Lady with long, wavy black hair, fine clothes, lavender eyeshadow, and red lipstick. She's also a Girly Bruiser and has a love for racing sports cars and is talented with machines in general.
• The Backyardigans: While Tasha is the most feminine of the main cast, she is willing to get dirty if a role requires it. For example, she was the head of the Do-Gooder biker gang in "Special Delivery".
• Big Hero 6: The Series: Though it might be how Obake programmed her, Trina wears a pink shirt, jeans with stars and has long hair, while being simultaneously into bot-fighting and has an overall "teen rebel" look and personality. By Season 2, she goes more into tomboy territory when she upgrades herself and cuts her hair.
• Blinky Bill: Daisy Dingo is very feminine and fashionable, usually seen doing her nails (claws?), and has dreams of becoming an actress/singer. Despite this, she puts in quite the effort during the charity race in "Blinky Bill's Fund Run", even though she ends up careening down a hill and crashing into other runners thanks to her waistband getting caught on a tree branch, flinging her backward.
  Nutsy: Er, I think you're supposed to run, Daisy, not fly.
• Bob's Burgers: Tina Belcher has more girly interests than her sister and mother, but she's not above performing gross feats with her siblings and doesn't have a problem at all with getting dirty.
• Chowder: Panini may be a pink rabbit with a very romantic personality and girly appearance, but she has shown to be very violent and aggressive from time to time.
• Codename: Kids Next Door:
  • Numbuh 3/Kuki Sanban is a somewhat ditzy, Rainbow Monkey-loving Genki Girl, who when on occasions where she doesn't wear he signature green sweater, the outfit is gonna be either pink or lavender, is a total ingenue and the girliest of Sector V but she has no trouble doing unpleasant things or getting dirty, loves skunks, and when angry she has a much more aggressive demeanor, and her default outfit is less traditionally feminine than Abby's.
  • Numbuh 86 loves Rainbow Monkeys (perhaps even more than Kuki), owns a make up kit, she regularly wears a skirt and shows a softer side sometimes. Yet, she hates boys and doesn't mind getting messy (unless it's toenail clippings).
• DC Super Hero Girls 2019: Karen Beecher/Bumblebee adores romcoms, Just Before Dawn, and boy bands, and is a huge romantic. However, she is also a skilled scientist who enjoys engineering and working with tech, even inventing her own gadgets and her suit.
• Dexter's Laboratory: Dee Dee wears pink, likes playing with dolls and ballet, and has a stereotypical girly attitude, but she also likes video games, sports, and rollerskating.
• Doc McStuffins: Doc wears pink, likes playing tea party and enjoys dancing with Lambie, but she also enjoys running around and playing soccer.
• Ed, Edd n Eddy:
  • Sarah loves doing tea parties and other girly things with Jimmy, her room is pink, she keeps a diary and her prized possessions are her 'dollies'. But she's also a violent and out-of-control little brat. Her older brother is terrified of her and she is able to beat up all the male characters.
  • Nazz is a variant of the trope. At first sight, she appears to be a tomboy due to her short hair and regular tomboyish clothes (black t-shirt, tank top, and jeans), has a sporty athletic side (at least, in early seasons), and talks like a Surfer Dude. But other than that, she is a flirty, giggling, sweet Girly Girl who's interested in hair care products, cute boys, fashion (wearing dresses for special occasions), cooking, babysitting, and cheerleading. Her room is also quite girly, as seen in "A Glass of Warm Ed". She's easily the girliest female character on the show, despite her tomboyish appearance and Totally Radical speech.
• Elena of Avalor: Elena doesn't show any discomfort in wearing dresses, heels, or jewelry at all times and is family-oriented and maternal. She is also feisty, determined, competitive, and actively participates in many sports.
• The Fairly OddParents!: The episode "The Boy Who Would Be Queen" reveals the girly, fashionable and popular Alpha Bitch Trixie has an interest in "boy things" such as comic books and video games, even dressing up as a boy to disguise herself when going to buy comic books, and she also thinks dead frogs are cool, all of which is something she tries to keep a secret from others.
• Fish Hooks: Despite "Sleepover Party" showcasing her as a stereotypical teenage girl, Bea still has some masculine interests like football and playing video games with Milo and Oscar.
• Futurama: Amy is a spoiled and rich party girl who often accuses Leela of not being girly enough to be a true woman. She also "works" as an engineering intern, has short hair, and always wears a tracksuit (except for formal events). When Fry points this out, she says it's because she's rebelling against her parents.
  Fry: Hey, tell me something: You've got all this money, how come you always dress like you're doing your laundry?
  Amy: I guess 'cause my parents keep telling me to be more ladylike.
• Gravity Falls:
  • Mabel Pines is extremely girly. She likes kittens, knitting, makeup, and bedazzling her face, and adores stuffed animals. But beneath that long-haired, pink-wearing, cuteness-obsessed exterior is a very rough-and-tumble Girly Bruiser who loves to fight and get dirty, opting for a Grappling-Hook Pistol instead of a doll as a gift (much to Stan and Dipper's surprise), can apparently burp the alphabet, and enjoys beating her brother at video games. She also has a pet pig named Waddles, and she gets down on the ground with him quite frequently.
  • Grenda as well. She loves cute boys, pop music, and unicorns as much as Mabel does, but she's an aggressive fighter with a temper, too.
  • There's also Pacifica Northwest. At first glance, she's a stereotypical Alpha Bitch and full-on Girly Girl; she loves ponies, beauty pageants, and is stated by Stan to wear a heavy amount of make-up. But she's also apparently a level 100 DeathSlayer in a fictional FPS game called ''Bloodcraft: Overdeath'', and is quite capable of being an Action Girl when necessary.
• Goof Troop: Pete's daughter Pistol mostly likes traditionally girly things like tea parties and dolls but was also very interested in becoming an Ace Pilot in "Hot Air".
• Hey Arnold!: Rhonda is a spoiled, rich Alpha Bitch, but the so-called fashionista isn't above playing sports with her friends, including extremely rough and dirty ones like football. She's also a pretty good bowler, as seen in "Coach Wittenberg", once she gets past the issue of breaking a nail. Her haircut is also the least stereotypically feminine of all the female characters on the show.
• Jem: Kimber may be extremely girly, but unlike Aja, and the other Holograms members, her stage clothing includes pants.
• Kaeloo: Pretty loves all things stereotypically "girly", like fashion, make-up, and ponies, but she also likes sports and wrestling.
• Kid vs. Kat: While Millie’s shown to have most of the same traits that Phoebe has, such as playing dress-up and tea parties, but she’s also shown to be quite violent, and also likes monster trucks as much as Coop does.
• Kim Possible: Monique is all about shopping and fashion, but she's also a huge fan of wrestling and extreme sports.
• Little Einsteins: June is definitely not a tomboy, but despite her girly appearance and her love of dancing, she can be very sporty in comparison to Annie.
• The Loud House and its spin-off The Casagrandes: Given the large cast of female characters, there are many girls who, to varying levels, could qualify as girly girls in the show. But even the most feminine of them still have identifiable masculine qualities, if sometimes few and far between:
  • Lola Loud is arguably the most feminine out of all ten of Lincoln's sisters. She loves the color pink and is obsessed with princesses, to the point where she regularly dresses like one! She also likes throwing tea parties, competes in beauty pageants, prefers keeping her appearance clean, plays with dolls, and has a lot of stuffed animals. However, she also finds Lincoln's class tarantula cute (though one could interpret this as her being so girly she'll find anything cute). Also, despite being so girly, Lola isn't interested in the Princess Pony series since even she has standards. She also once won a Burping Contest between all of the Loud siblings (and was quite proud of herself for it). Moreover, she can often be seen playing scrappily and rough with her extremely tomboyish twin sister Lana, as well as genuinely getting along best with her, despite having several more feminine sisters like Lori and Leni.
  • Leni is also one of the most feminine sisters, as she's an aspiring fashion designer who regularly makes her own clothing, wears dresses most of the time, and aside from fashion, make-up, jewelry, and shoes are amongst her favorite things. She also gleefully plays video games with Lincoln and Clyde in "Change of Heart" despite having expressed a previous disdain for video games.
  • Lori is this, too. She's a stereotypical Valley Girl who's into fashion, chatting on the phone, makeup, and painting her nails but also farts quite often when no one's around, is as good at video games as Lincoln, is a good golfer to the point where she won a golfing scholarship for college, and acts dominant and assertive on a frequent basis.
  • Lucy is a Girly Girl in her own right, albeit a dark and morose one. She loves romance to the point that she owns (and kisses) a bust of her crush, she regularly wears a dress, she writes poetry, and she's even an avid fan of the comic series Princess Pony (which is considered too girly even by the show's quintessential Girly Girl, Lola). But she's also expressed a disdain for the color pink—plus her stoicism, snarkiness, and interests in Horror, fake blood, bats, etc. could hardly be considered girly. She's also not above roughhousing or fighting physically with her siblings, as she's seen in "Garage Banned" being quite rough with Lynn for her chipping one of Edwin's fangs.
  • Their mother Rita wears salmon pink, has long, golden hair, enjoys pedicures, does shopping, and is a passionate writer, but she also has an aggressive side, is a bit of a craftsman, a dental assistant, and can really fly a plane.
  • Carlota Casagrande is very into fashion and make-up but as shown in the episode, "Long Shot", she is also very skilled in basketball (just as long as she is wearing the right outfit for it).
  • Sid's little sister Adelaide Chang loves unicorns and princesses, as well as karate and frogs.
  • As much as she likes wearing feminine clothing, shopping, and other typically "girly" things, Girl Jordan also is shown to have athletic, rough, competitive ways to an extent, as Lincoln's classmates often mention she is a very good and very ruthless dodgeball player.
• The Magic School Bus:
  • Phoebe Terese is easily the most feminine of the Frizz girls, being a Friend to All Living Things with a heart of gold, not to mention a bit of a flirt towards Arnold at times. However, she's the striker for Walkerville Elementary's football team, and one of the original books mentions she has karate after school.
  • Keesha Franklin is a ballet student who always wears purple, but she also plays defense for the same football team. Her girliness is more pronounced in the reboot where she's the most feminine dresser in the class... except that she's traded in her ballet flats for black hiking boots.
• Max and Ruby: While Louise is just as girly as her best friend Ruby, she is more outgoing and dressed up as a prince once.
• Miraculous Ladybug:
  • Marinette Dupain-Cheng's outfit includes mainly pink colors. She's open about her crush on Adrien (at least, only to those she can trust). Plus, she's an aspiring fashion designer. She's also an Action Girl, can be as aggressive as she needs to be, and is skilled at video games.
  • Rose Lavillant is a cheery pink-clad Wide-Eyed Idealist, who also has a very short haircut and is the lead singer of a rock band with a surprising knack for Harsh Vocals.
  • Chloé Bourgeois is mostly a spoiled rich girl who is very clingy around her crush Adrien. However, in early seasons, she wants to be a superhero like her idol Ladybug, secretly imitating Ladybug's moves when she's alone, and in the episode "Frightningale", she is shown to be a very skilled gymnast who's able to do acrobatics.
• Molly of Denali: On the outside, Vera looks more girly compared to Molly, as she wears a pink shirt with a purple flower on it and has long hair. However, she loves playing sports such as basketball, is a Friend to Bugs, and wants to study dinosaurs when she grows up.
• My Life as a Teenage Robot:
  • The main protagonist herself. Jenny has a love for clothing, pretty boys and shopping, and has an overall feminine demeanor, but she's also a proud Action Girl loaded with weapons whose friends are mostly male.
  • Brit possesses the standard haughty queen bee personality and most of her outfits are very feminine, but occasionally dresses in an androgynous style.
• My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
  • Rarity happily presents herself as 100% the girly-girl type in her daily life: she's beautiful, poised, elegant, well-mannered, and works as a fashion designer and seamstress. This puts her at odds with Applejack and, to a lesser extent, Rainbow Dash, as she doesn't really enjoy more rough-and-tumble activities that involve getting dirty or messy because she's averse to filth, but she's also a Girly Bruiser and displays no shame in this more rugged side of herself. Also, her first recourse in a fight is Good Old Fisticuffs, she's actually quite good at kicking flank (as seen in the battle against the changelings at the end of season 2), and in fact, she's often one of the first to suggest resorting to violence when threatened. At one point, she puts together a punk outfit and hair style when her mane gets seriously messed up all the while showing no issues with not looking so feminine, and seems to like heavy metal music as her chops are absolutely righteous when she shreds an amazing solo... on an acoustic guitar. Rarity's personality is a dead ringer and subtle Shout-Out to the G3 version of Rainbow Dash: who was an adventurous, rowdy, rough-and-tumble sort as well as a fashionista.
  • Sweetie Belle is a Girly Girl like her sister but doesn't mind filth much and is a Lethal Chef.
  • Pinkie Pie is a bubbly, giggly pink pony who loves singing and cooking (she works as a baker/candy maker) and is also a Nice Girl. However, she has a quirky and inappropriate side, being loud, boisterous, and a Big Eater. During season six, she partakes in buckball, which is a brand new sport that Applejack had invented, and that in the long run makes Pinkie Pie much more tomboyish.
  • Fluttershy is the most conventionally feminine of the Mane Six besides Rarity. She's kind, sweet, is very nurturing, motherly, beautiful, graceful, loves cute little animals and tea parties, usually averse to violence, knows how to sew, and she's even worked as a fashion model. But she doesn't mind getting dirty with her animal friends and she proves to be a very skilled goalie when playing Buckball.
  • Princess Celestia is an extremely regal and graceful princess, both in appearance and personality, and also a Big Eater (who is weak for cake) and is an excitable Thrill Seeker who is not above pranking and screwing with those who are close to her (as Luna, Sunset and Twilight can attest to).
  • Cozy Glow has artistic interests and continuously seeks to maintain a cute exterior, but is also obsessed with destruction and getting her hooves dirty.
• The Octonauts: Dashi is the definitely the fashionable girly female main character in comparison to the tomboyish mechanic, Tweak Bunny. However, Dashi can be very active when on a mission.
• The eponymous protagonist of Olivia is girly and loves dressing up and princesses, but is also very sporty and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty.
• The Owl House: As a contrast with Luz's Tomboy with a Girly Streak, Amity Blight is the far more traditionally feminine one between the two, having pink and purple as her main Color Motifs, wears nail polish and tends to dress in more girly and stylish outfits (typically of the Goth variety), most of them being dresses or skirts paired with tights. She often acts proper and ladylike and has a graceful and elegant air to her, even in battles, can turn as gooey as her Abominations when it comes to romance and especially when around her crush and later girlfriend Luz and is generally soft and sensitive to her close friends. She is also the most likely to think through her problems rather than charging in, but she was also the former captain of Hexside's grudgby team and is shown to have not lost her skill in the sport, prior to Character Development was highly competitive (to the point of being a Sore Loser) due to her ambitious Go-Getter Girl tendencies, and is more than capable of throwing hands if prompted—such as when she utterly brutalizes Hooty offscreen after he gets into her face. Further, her favored attack with her Abomination Magic is to make a gauntlet to punch her foes. Lastly, she has a Tomboyish Ponytail in the Distant Finale, fitting her new occupation as an Adventurer Archaeologist.
• PAW Patrol: Skye flies in a silver helicopter (with pink highlights).
• Phineas and Ferb:
  • Candace Flynn exhibits most if not all traits associated with a teenage Valley Girl, yet she can be surprisingly athletic and is a fan of Marvel superheroes.
  • Isabella Garcia-Shapiro is girly, romantic, loves unicorns and wears a pink dress. She's also expressed a fondness for gross things and her Fireside Girls' manual includes a lesson on car maintenance.
• Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain: Elmyra Duff always wears a skirt and a cute bow, has a soft spot for cute animals, likes to play with dolls and is a massive hopeless romantic. However, she can become quite violent and ill-tempered when sufficiently angered, has some gross manners (like showing food when she opens her mouth) and doesn't mind doing traditionally masculine play pretends like playing superheroes.
• PJ Masks: Amaya/Owlette loves sports, reading comics, throwing slumber parties, and hanging out with both her male friends, Connor and Greg, and her female friends, Jenny, Marie, Meg, and another unnamed girl.
• The Powerpuff Girls: Blossom isn't as girly as Bubbles, but she's into fashion, tends to be pretty vain, and has the most feminine appearance out of the girls: a pink dress, a big bow on the top of her head, and her red hair is longest out of all the girls, with Blossom being very proud of said hair. She's also a Girly Bruiser who kicks a lot of butt.
• The Proud Family: Penny Proud's outfit is predominantly pink, her main hairstyle are Girlish Pigtails, she's as boy-crazy as her friends, and loves to shop. She's also plays in and enjoys basketball, baseball, and football.
• Recess: Ashley Q. Like the other Ashleys, she usually tries to act like a stereotypically girly Alpha Bitch, but she also happens to be one of the best kickball players in school and continues to take part in games after she discovers this.
• Sabrina: The Animated Series: Sabrina is an average cute Naïve Everygirl who mostly wears pink outfits (including a pink skirt), has star-shaped and moon-shaped earrings, and usually competes with the Alpha Bitch in everything, especially popularity and winning Harvey's heart. But she's also quite sporty and adventurous, much more than she was in the live-action sitcom.
• Sanjay and Craig has Megan Sparkles, who is the epitome of this trope. She wears a pink dress with high heels, has a room with pink walls and tons of girly things, and lives for competing in beauty pageants. She's also an MMA expert who skateboards, does bike stunts, plays video games, and regularly hangs out with her best friends, whom are three boys that she doesn't hesitate to roughhouse and indulge in gross-out antics with. Not to mention that she attends a school for stuntmen/stuntwomen in training. This aspect of her personality is even lampshaded in the episode "Combo Attack":
  Chido: Little miss pink dress plays video games?
• She-Ra and the Princesses of Power:
  • Glimmer loves being a princess with all the decorum and social events that that entails, wears pink and purple, literally has pink sparkles as her powerset, and enjoys dressing up in pretty dresses as well as giving Adora a makeover for Princess Prom. However, she also loves fighting the free Etheria from the Horde and would do so single handedly if she could, and can also pack a heavy punch. Her introduction even shows her clashing with her mother because she so desperately wants to fight for the Rebellion more than her mother is willing to allow.
  • Perfuma is a gentle peace- and flower-loving pacifist... who also loves using her Green Thumb powers to fight the Horde and can be quite the Blood Knight.
• Sofia the First:
  • Sofia isn't quite as girly as her stepsister Amber, but she's definitely not a tomboy: she has long flowing hair, wears violet and pink dresses and tiaras, likes dancing, loves cute animals, has a lot of traditionally feminine interests such as tea parties, and is good at sewing. However, she also enjoys doing "princely things" and playing with boys sometimes, and is much more willing to take physical risks than a typical Princess Classic, without being a full-on Action Girl; and is also the only princess ever to try out for and earn a spot in Royal Prep's flying derby team.
  • Jade; while she has a love for girly decor and fancy clothing, she's still a Buttercup scout and even raced in Royal Prep's Flying Derby during School Swap Day.
• South Park:
  • Heidi Turner is one of the more girly girls, but she also partakes in activities, like playing Call of Duty: World at War in the computer lab, watching Terrence and Phillip Netflix premier with the boys, and judging science fairs, which aren't considered to be feminine.
  • Bebe loves rainbows, sparkles, boy bands, gossip, and above all shoes just as much as her female peers. She also enjoys throwing rocks at ongoing cars and playing Call of Duty: World at War in the computer lab, flipping Cartman off when she gets a kill shot at him, while "World Wide Privacy Tour" reveals that she is willing to beat up people when they insult her.
  • Red loves rainbows, sparkles, and boy bands as much as the other girls in her class. However, she is shown to also love video games and she can put up quite a fight when needed to.
• Like in the games, Amy Rose in Sonic Boom, as in the episode, "Fortress of Squalitude," Dr. Eggman hires her to redecorate his lair to get himself on the cover of a magazine.
• SpongeBob SquarePants:
  • Pearl's a fan of "Mecha Baleen" (the Bikini Bottom equivalent to Cyborg) and "The Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy" (though she obviously wouldn't want her friends to know that).
  • Squidina's an adorable, girly squid who likes comics and action figures.
• Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Star Butterfly loves anything cute, wears a plethora of different dresses, and tends to blast very cutesy (but dangerous) rays from her wand... but she also really enjoys fighting monsters and going on adventures.
• Steven Universe: Pearl is a Lipstick Lesbian who's more or less the Team Mom, hates getting messy, and is a skilled dancer... as well as a swordfighter (though a Lady of War at that), engineer, and veteran of a thousand-year war. And her most-worn piece of formalwear is a tuxedo.
• Team Umizoomi: Milli is overall pretty girly, with stuff like the default pink dress, Girlish Pigtails, and her love of flowers, but at the same time, she is also a Girly Bruiser who can do Kung-Fu, and does share some interests with her little brother, Geo, like video games and dinosaurs.
• Teen Titans (2003): Starfire is nice, cheery, and wears very girly attires. She is also well-versed in less girly things, like boxing, enjoys to compete with Cyborg for fun and shouts out swears in Tamaranean, and it's implied they are very dirty ones.
• Total Drama and it's spin-offs:
  • Bridgette has true blue feminine clothes, but is a Surfer Gal as well.
  • Courtney may be a cultured preppie, but she has shown that she can kick butt.
  • Kitty has Girlish Pigtails, wears a skirt, has a pink phone that she takes a LOT of selfies with and heeled boots but she has also mentioned to be a Gamer Chick and has a brown belt in "fusion kick-boxing yoga".
  • Sugar takes pride in being a pageant queen, wears a pink top and is occasionally seen doing things like filing her nails, looking in a mirror and talking about beauty, but she is also very rough and tumble and has no problem in getting dirty or physically aggressive.
  • Anna Maria is obsessed with her looks, particularly her hair; however, she will beat down those who would dare cross her.
  • Zoey is among the most feminine characters in the series, but she also shows great athletic prowess, especially during her commando phase.
  • Emma dresses quite preppy and is In Love with Love (Being a Shipper on Deck for Bowie and Raj as well as wanting to find romance herself). However, she's also a big fan of Nichelle and her action movies and was part of Chase's livestream where she does the same dangerous stunts and pranks as him.
• Voltron: Legendary Defender: Princess Allura demonstrates a significant number of stereotypical feminine qualities (especially compared to Pidge), such as wearing pink and baby blue, being a graceful Lady of War, and has a love of animals and sparkly things. However, she's also a very competent fighter and is later able to hold her own as a Paladin of Voltron, and had a hard time handling Coran when he de-ages in one episode because she isn't particularly fond of children.
• Wakfu has princess of the Sadida, Amalia Sheran Sharm, a known enthusiast of shopping, flowers, being pampered, and everything cute. She's also a relentless adventurer who has run away from the palace at least once (only accompanied by one Tomboy with a Girly Streak handmaiden-cum-bodyguard). As to whether she needs a bodyguard - the Sadida magic she wields is one of the most powerful in the setting. Amalia is also Hot-Blooded in combat and out, but at the same time big-hearted and friendly.
• Wonder Pets!: Ming-Ming is definitely the more girly one in comparison to Linny, due to her being into more fashion. However, Ming-Ming can be as active and adventurous as Linny, and she wears a pilot's cap.
• Xiaolin Showdown: Kimiko really straddles the line between this trope and Tomboy with a Girly Streak —she's really into things related to fashion and beauty, but is also really into martial arts and video games and is very tech-savvy.
• X-Men: Evolution: Jean Grey is a feminine, well-mannered Cool Big Sis, who is also an extreme jock and never afraid to throw down with all her power.
• Zig & Sharko: Although she's very feminine, liking things like fashion and fitness, Maria's also shown to be a skilled Wrench Wench. "Best Girlfriends" episode shows that she prefers working on her car project better than doing otherwise very girly things.
