- Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: With Tobias, in a fashion. While Tobias is a predator as a red-tailed hawk, his own personality has always been gentle and a little dreamy. Rachel, on the other hand, is a Blood Knight who genuinely enjoys the fighting that comes with being an Animorph (which scares her). This might account for a great deal of the attraction between them: Rachel loves the human Tobias in a way he can hold on to, and Tobias keeps Rachel connected to gentleness, compassion, and mercy. In a way, they keep each other connected to their humanity.
I don't think you would call Tobias a feminine boy because his being 'gentle and a little dreamy' is being a star-gazing bully magnet.

I dunno, I feel like it fits as well as a majority of the examples in that trope (in some cases more).
I guess it depends on how you define feminine and masculine. Tobias is definitely the more gentle, passive one in the relationship.
Hi everyone, I was reading through the character page and noticed some IMO odd takes on Cassie. I would like to remove some tropes I think really don't apply to her and edit descriptions on others, but I'm new here so I wanted to discuss it with you guys first.
