To add to the above, I think it goes without saying that insisting in the PlayingWith section sites that if \\\"Alice\\\" turns out to be \\\"one {{badass}} {{tomboy}},\\\" it obviously carries some...well, [[UnfortunateImplications you get the picture]]. As in, \\\"if a character is cute and girly, then she\\\'s definitely TheChick, and if she wants to avoid being a [[RealWomenNeverWearDresses silly prissy]] NeutralFemale, then she \\\'\\\'must\\\'\\\' be an ass-kicking boyish type. Too bad [[VasquezAlwaysDies she\\\'ll probably die]]...\\\"

EDIT: Why is this trope treated like a strictly feminine thing anyway? Granted, the trope itself is pretty hard to define, but more or less seems to be \\\"the odd man out in a FiveManBand\\\". TheChick could be a tomboy, an ActionGirl, or even a NonActionGuy (heck, maybe a guy who\\\'s just RealMenWearPink), but you\\\'d never know that from the Playing With page. We\\\'ve already discussed that the page image should be changed, as Princess Leia\\\'s Character Sheet states her to be a subversion of this trope.
