\\\" In a Tomboy and Girly Girl (and its Distaff Counterpart Sensitive Guy and Manly Man) and Light Feminine Dark Feminine (and its Distaff Counterpart Noble Male, Roguish Male) pairing, the Betty will be the Girly Girl (and its genderflipped variant Sensitive Guy) and Light Feminine (and its genderflipped variant Noble Male) while the Veronica will be the Tomboy (and its genderflipped variant Manly Man) and Dark Feminine (and its genderflipped counterpart Roguish Male). \\\"

I don\\\'t think Betty = Girly Girl and Veronica = Tomboy is necessarily the case. A \\\"sweet, reliable, everyday Girl Next Door type\\\" might be a sporty WrenchWench, while \\\"alluring, exotic, and edgy, but has more of a mischievous or icy personality\\\" could mean a RichBitch who has no interest in anything except being glamorous. In fact, isn\\\'t that the case with the TropeNamer?

Calling someone an \

Calling someone an \\\"antagonist\\\" implies they\\\'re in the wrong and/or provoked the conflict. It\\\'s not much better than calling someone evil IMO. And either way it would still be shoehorning a fictional role/term on real life people so I think making an argument based off that is just splitting hairs.

But in any case this trope sometimes involves true evil villains, and that makes the whole page NoRealLifeExamplesPlease by default.
