History Main / GamerChick

* Wrestling/AJLee from NXT. As a double whammy, she loves X-Box and Playstation and put out her gamer tag in a promo. She also cosplayed as Kitana from ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'' during a Halloween battle royal.

* 5-Volt from ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' used to be one, before gaming took a back seat to raising her son 9-Volt, who has come to be just as obsessed with video games as she used to be. She still has the skills as well; at one point, she ended up playing her son's game after confiscating it and proceeded to absolutely ''demolish'' his high score. She would slowly gain a bigger role in the franchise and start hosting her own microgames that, like her son's, are based on retro Creator/{{Nintendo}} games.

* Marin Kitagawa of ''Manga/MyDressUpDarling'' is a GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak who's a big fan of {{otaku}} culture, including video games (as well as {{HGame}}s).

* ''Manga/WorldTrigger'': Yuu Kunichika keeps various consoles in Tachikawa Unit's Operation Room and even plays with her teammates from time to time, as seen in chapter 109/episode 67, where she and Tachikawa play an unknown game using controllers similar to those of the UsefulNotes/PlayStation family. In the anime, this is replaced with them playing a ''Videogame/StreetFighterII'' lookalike in Super Famicom-looking console.

* Wrestling/BethPhoenix said she grew up with the Commodore 64, leading her to upgrade to an NES, then to a Super Nintendo, then get a companion systems in the Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, Play Station 2, and Wii(skipping the Game Cube), saying she amassed a "ridiculous" number of video games.

* Jennifer Blake's a fan of ''Videogame/FireProWrestling'', though her favorite is ''Videogame/FinalFantasy''.
* Wrestling/AJLee from NXT. As a double whammy, she loves X-Box and Playstation and put out her gamer tag in a promo. She also cosplayed as Kitana from ''VideoGames/MortalKombat'' during a Halloween battle royal.

* In ''Videogame/Borderlands2'' DLC ''Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep'', Lilith and Tina are big fans of Tabletop [=RPGs=], particularly when compared to the guys. Lilith even claims that as a child, she was [[BullyingADragon bullied for being a Siren]] as well as her love of [[AlliterationAndAdventurers Bunkers & Badasses]]. The attitude towards gamer girls is parodied in the sidequest "Fake Gamer Guy" where [[TestosteronePoisoning Mister Torgue]] is accused of not being a true nerd since he's an overly masculine buff guy, to which he repeatedly points out how discriminatory this type of thinking is and how insecure Lilith must be to make such an accusation. On the other hand, an overly masculine buff guy would probably get accused of being a fake nerd in real life too, or at least stereotyped as somebody who only plays games for "normal people" such as ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' and ''VideoGame/MaddenNFL'' while still making fun of nerds for liking fantasy games, so this ends up being less of a parody than it was intended to be.

* [[Characters/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirlsPassionType Sana Miyoshi]] from ''VideoGame/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirls'' is the Idolmaster series' resident gamer chick. She's so enthusiastic about video games that she would actually like to wear [[Main/ChainmailBikini bikini armor]].

* Sofie Liv of ''WebVideo/MovieDorkness'' has always played games, (especially Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda and VideoGame/ProfessorLayton) seems to slowly be turning into a full-fledged gamer girl as evidenced by the inception of "The Positive Gamer Woman" and her review of ''VideoGame/NiNoKuni''.

* ''WebVideo/PurePwnage'' Anastasia is a ''VideoGame/WorldofWarcraft'' player who at the start of the series is a fairly casual gamer but becomes increasingly more and more of a [[strike:hardcore gamer]] hopeless social-networking-site-with-graphics addict as the show progresses.

* A notorious example of harassment in the ''Videogame/{{Quake}}'' community was [[http://www.salon.com/1998/06/08/feature_310/ Hellkitten]], who also happened to be a model in real life. Once she made her presence known by posting her own pictures on her website, attacks came in, ranging from defacing her website, spam emails, and being sent scare pictures, such as those of her face spliced to nude females, but the worst was a picture of a mutilated dog (which absolutely frightened her because she was an [[FriendToAllLivingThings animal lover]]).

* Aisha Tyler(of ''24'' & ''CSI'') once grew so annoyed at people decrying gamer chicks that she posted a [[https://www.facebook.com/notes/aisha-tyler/dear-gamers/10151040991508993 lengthy rant on her Facebook page.]]

* In ''Videogame/Borderlands2'' DLC ''Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep'', Lilith and Tina are big fans of Tabletop [=RPGs=], particularly when compared to the guys. Lilith even claims that as a child, she was [[BullyingADragon bullied for being a Siren]] as well as her love of [[MagicAmpersand Bunkers & Badasses]]. The attitude towards gamer girls is parodied in the sidequest "Fake Gamer Guy" where [[TestosteronePoisoning Mister Torgue]] is accused of not being a true nerd since he's an overly masculine buff guy, to which he repeatedly points out how discriminatory this type of thinking is and how insecure Lilith must be to make such an accusation. On the other hand, an overly masculine buff guy would probably get accused of being a fake nerd in real life too, or at least stereotyped as somebody who only plays games for "normal people" such as ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' and ''VideoGame/MaddenNFL'' while still making fun of nerds for liking fantasy games, so this ends up being less of a parody than it was intended to be.

* The whole premise of ''Manga/HighScoreGirl'' revolving around the CuteMute Akira Oono being a superb gamer that slowly makes Haruo Yaguchi fall for her. Then there's the other gamer chick Koharu Hidaka, who only got into gaming through Haruo and demonstrated an innate talent at playing games.

* Team Siren was an all-female team for VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends which gained infamy due to their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Gz9um3wV1o promotional video]], introducing some [[MemeticMutation meme-worthy]] lines like "Losing is not an option", "I'm a siren", and "Baited and outsmarted", all ensuring that they would never be taken seriously as a team by the League community. Following poor performances, they eventually disbanded within the year.

* In ''VideoGame/CoffeeTalk'', Aqua is an aspiring indie game dev who lists video games as one of her favorite things on her [[FictionalSocialNetwork Tomodachill]] profile. In Episode 2, one of her status updates shows her playing ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Brawl Pals 2]]'' on the Switch.

** "[=GameGrl=]" is a magazine that ostensibly [[TheMagazineRule caters to the interests]] of exactly this type of character. The kids have a low opinion of it, and point out it is certainly a PinkProductPloy by the same idiots who write "[=GameBro=]".
** Latula Pyrope is another parody of the trope, a [[GenkiGirl high-energy fun-lover]] who is into all things "R4D1CAL." The only character who draws attention to her gender is [[SoapboxSadie Kankri]], ironically blind to his own sexism.

* Half of the Ring Warriors Bombshells Tag Team Champions, Wrestling/SoloDarling, sometimes wrestles in a shirt with an eight-bit rendition of "game over" on it. She also has a OneUp [[Videogame/SuperMarioBros mushroom]] belt buckle.

Also common is for this character to have high skill in games, or at least [[ShowingUpChauvinists higher than the misogynistic male characters]], so she can promptly destroy them. A form of FlawlessToken, it was probably originally meant as a subversion, but has become ''so'' common that it's now a subversion when the character ''doesn't'' have significantly better than average skill. This superiority depends on the assumption that a girl playing games is NotLikeOtherGirls, but so unusual and extraordinary that there must be something special about her. This idea does not hold up, especially as gaming becomes more mainstream. It is common enough for all sorts of girls to play all sorts of games, so this is an EvolvingTrope.

* If you thought female gamers were never thought as a serious marketing element in the game console department, be ready to get introduced to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_Loopy Casio Loopy,]] the yet only console to be [[PinkProductPloy marketed specifically for a female audience]]. The most ironic part is that most Gamer Chicks would pick up this console as one of their least favorites, if they even know about it.

* Kaho in ''Manga/BlendS'' is a compulsive gamer who is highly proficient in many types of console and in arcade games.

** The other two members of the Tabletop Games club are also female, and unlike Fujiwara they play video games as well. [[spoiler:In fact, the elder of the two goes on to become a professional e-sports player after graduation.]]

** Iino is more of a casual gamer compared to the others, playing mobile games with Osaragi and also mentions having several free UsefulNotes/RPGMaker games on her laptop. [[spoiler:She later starts playing ''VideoGame/ApexLegends'' in an attempt to make herself more appealing to Ishigami after [[MistakenForRomance mistaking his and Shiranui's friendship for something more intimate]].]]

* ''Manga/KoeDeOshigoto'': Kotori, Kanna's friend, is one of these, but doesn't play eroge so she didn't know that Kanna got into voice acting.
* Shuri's younger sister in ''Manga/KomorisanCantDecline'' is always playing video games. She even skips out on going to a festival so she can stay home and play. Their mother is also one, considering she bought a game which neither [[TheAce Shuri]] nor her sister could beat, and she beat it without breaking a sweat.

** Her best friend, Chacha, is an avid gamer herself. During the [=MangaCon=] in chapter 60, [[CosplayOtakuGirl they cosplayed]] as Alena and Manya from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV''. Chacha also chose not to participate in the aforementioned "Magical Quiz!" contest, citing that her main interests were {{Fighting Game}}s and first person shooters.

* Kurume from ''Manga/{{RaButa}}'' is shown to be highly skilled at playing arcade fighters (to the point that she was ''memorizing hitboxes'' after only a few rounds of a game she'd never played before). In fact, her cameo in ''Manga/ICantUnderstandWhatMyHusbandIsSaying'' states that she occasionally goes to the arcade with her husband and she's a championship level player in ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear''.
* Moriko from ''Manga/RecoveryOfAnMMOJunkie'' loves her [=MMORPGs=] so much that she quit her stressful office job in order to become a {{NEET}} and play them full-time. Her guildmates Lilac and Himerelda are also played by women (a college student and a housewife respectively).

** Minako Aino, to the point the Sailor V Game was originally created as a training simulator because initially Artemis couldn't get her to train more traditionally but [[TaughtByTelevision noticed she could easily learn from video games]].

* ''ComicBook/Robin1993'': While Callie Evans is more of a basketball obsessed PassionateSportsGirl most of her friends are really geeky guys whose interests don't overlap with hers much since she's not interested in things like {{Tabletop RPG}}s and likes sci-fi moves but not enough to argue over plot points (much) like they do. When video games come up though she's much more involved in the conversation.

* According to the author notes in ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'', Chloe Cerise is one of these. It's implied that she bought ''VideoGame/{{Limbo}}'' (a very, ''very'' dark video game) for her brother to play and she is into the ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series too. She also wants to get into ''Franchise/SilentHill'' but is having trouble "finding good quality copies". An author's notes reveals that she showed up two of her male classmates in ''VideoGame/{{CarnEvil}}'' by actually getting a higher score than them, even if she never made it to the final boss.

* ''Fanfic/RiseOfTheMinisukas'': Asuka is happy to unpack her "Segatendo Dreamcube" and show Shinji her games. As she and Shinji play a sim farm, Shiki eagerly picks one of her farming sims' instruction manual and starts reading.

* ''Film/PromWars'': It isn't shown or elaborated on, but Diana mentions that some of the most lusted after girls in her class can beat any boy at video games.

* ''Literature/RebuildWorld'': Akira's VirtualSidekick Alpha makes him an isometric sim game starring himself to let him practice his decision-making as a hunter when not in the field. Akira struggles to get very far in it. After Akira leaves his phone with Sheryl for a while, she tries it and is frustrated that it kills Akira (her LivingEmotionalCrutch) so easily, so she determinedly clears it. Akira is shocked when he learns this, and in a reverse of their usual dynamic, physically clings to Sheryl for a while (to watch her play). Akira also gives Sheryl the phone, which serves as a ChekhovsGun.

* Wrestling/{{Naomi}} Knight, which isn't too surprising considering her association with Wrestling/TheUsos, though she prefers old school platform games to the brothers' shooters.

* Nyla Rose, the giant blood vomiting team destroying gaijin muscle of PowerStable Mabutachi 2 Manjimanji, [[HiddenDepths has memorized]] the [[ClassicCheatCode Konami Code.]]

* Iris Sagan of ''VideoGame/AITheSomniumFiles'', better known under her stage name "A-set", is a fairly popular IdolSinger who also hosts livestreams of video games, among them her favorite game, ''[[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} ShovelForge]]''.

** In Chapter 2, Queen expresses an interest in arcade games, challenging Kris to beat her at a ''VideoGame/PunchOut''-style boxing game early on and bringing up the possibility of a rematch-- purely for fun-- in a later scene; [[spoiler:her FinalBoss fight is even styled after the same boxing game]]. Berdly takes a liking to Queen for this reason, and is devastated when she claims that she only plays mobile games[[note]]which is only [[ExactWords technically true]] given that the teleporting arcade cabinets are "mobile" in a more literal sense[[/note]] to get him off her back.
* Ritz from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'' ''knows'' that people will stereotype her into being [[WomenAreWiser smarter.]] She outright states that she prefers games to books. (Obvious, considering the game is an escapist fantasy based on video games, specifically ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'').

* ''Webcomic/FurryFightChronicles'': The protagonist, Muko, attempted to learn how to fight via playing fighting video games. Her sister Saniko was also implied to be one as she called out Muko not only for her train of logic but also for playing with an RPG. Also, one of the requirements to be a Tendonchi Champion, or earn the right to challenge them, is for Combagals to be good at arcade games.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'': Maxine (Max) Gibson. She's featured in a lot of the video game-based eps and in one ep she gains a StalkerWithACrush when she beats him at an action/adventure game.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'': The episode, "The Boy Who Would Be Queen" revealed Trixie Tang's secretly a {{Tomboy}} who was both one of these and an OtakuSurrogate. This was a CompressedVice and never brought up again.

* A notorious example of harassment in the ''Videogame/{{Quake}}'' community was [[http://www.salon.com/1998/06/08/feature_310/ Hellkitten]], who also happened to be a model in real life. Once she made her presence known by posting her own pictures on her website, attacks came in, ranging from defacing her website, spam mails, and being sent scare pictures, such as those of her face spliced to nude females, but the worst was a picture of a mutilated dog (which absolutely frightened her because she was an [[FriendToAllLivingThings animal lover]]).

* The Frag Dolls, a FPS tournament team sponsored by Creator/{{Ubisoft}}. They are reportedly terrible gamers, but very pretty. Former member Ashley Jenkins went on to head up Creator/RoosterTeeth's The Know division and hosts her own gaming podcast, ''Glitch Please'', for the company. She still plays games regularly but prefers to keep it off-camera.

* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geguri Kim "Geguri" Se-yeon]], who may as well be a real-life edition of [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} D.Va]], picking up a ton of early attention in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' for her almost-inhuman precision with tanks, accused of using aimbots by several pro players who were so confident that she was a cheater [[TemptingFate that they announced they would quit the scene if she was exonerated]]. {{Creator/Blizzard|Entertainment}} themselves stepped in to provide her a monitored studio to prove that her seemingly impossible skill was 100% legitimate, making her detractors eat their words. [[EarnYourHappyEnding Her skills became so recognized that in 2018, she was picked up by the Shanghai Dragons of]] [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming the Overwatch League]], making her its first female player. It's telling that even when [[FailureHero the Dragons suffered one of the most infamous losing streaks in e-sports history]], she was never considered liable for it, and when nearly everyone in the roster was replaced for the next 2019 season, Geguri remained and continued to prove herself as a formidable tank [[TookALevelInBadass as the team flourished and became far more capable]].

* ''LightNovel/KagerouDaze'': [[{{Tsundere}} Takane Enomoto]] of the ''Yuukei Yesterday'' chapters in the manga. She has a fearsome reputation with an online community playing an FPS-style zombie survival game, to the point that when she and Haruka are made to set up a booth for the school festival, they design a game and offer a grand prize to anyone who can beat Takane, [[spoiler:codename Ene]].

* ''LightNovel/{{Oreimo}}'': Both Kirino and Kuroneko are hardcore gamers. While Kuroneko is very good at many types of games, Kirino only loves {{eroge}}.

* A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi4ffgYCMVs commercial]] for the Nintendo 3DS shows a trio of grown men getting soundly beaten in ''VideoGame/MarioKart7'''s online multiplayer mode. As they speculate on who these mystery guys are, we cut to a pair of Japanese schoolgirls, who briefly wonder if they should show mercy on their opponents for once before laughing and returning to their game.

* Unsurprisingly, the main cast of ''LightNovel/Gamers2015'' has plenty of these, from ChallengeSeeker Karen to freeware developer Chiaki to [[CovertPervert secret eroge enthusiast]] Konoha. The only non-gamer of the main characters is Aguri, who doesn't get why video games are such SeriousBusiness to everyone else and quickly points out the absurdities of the game industry when they try to explain it to her.

* Most of the girls in ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'' qualify; the most prominent example is Cuuko, who can almost always be seen with a handheld console and [[ItMakesSenseInContext had to destroy the next-gen system of her dreams]], which left her depressed for a couple of episodes. Mahiro's mother Yoriko is a retro gamer who collects old-school consoles and was chosen to playtest said next-gen console entirely because her reputation preceded her; she's Cuuko's most frequent gaming partner. Nyarko herself does play games, but she's more into anime and {{Toku}}.
* ''LightNovel/OnlySenseOnline'': Virtually all female characters are one since they are all avid players of the titular {{MMORPG}}. Special mention goes to Yun's sisters Myu and Sei, who are so good in the game that they are known by [[RedBaron their nicknames]].

Also common is for this character to have high skill in games, or at least [[ShowingUpChauvinists higher than the misogynistic male characters]], so she can promptly destroy them. A form of FlawlessToken, it was probably originally meant as a subversion, but has become ''so'' common that it's now a subversion when the character ''doesn't'' have significantly better than average skill.

Some versions of this trope depend on the assumption that a girl playing games like a boy is so unusual and extraordinary there must be [[RealWomenDontWearDresses something special]] about her, an idea which does not hold up. As gaming becomes more mainstream, it is common for all sorts of girls to play all sorts of games, so this is an EvolvingTrope.

To counter the assumption that MostGamersAreMale, stories involving games have a tendency to incorporate at least one female character that is into the same sort of games as the male characters. Going beyond just TokenMinority, this character type has her own genetics that tend to show up more often than not. She's usually very {{tomboy}}ish and even might be a StereotypicalNerd if not {{extraverted|nerd}}, but because she is brought in for fanservice, she usually looks exceptionally feminine and well-kempt, she's confrontational, and self-aware of her gender, with the need to mention it more often than she should.

** "[=GameGrl=]" is a magazine that ostensibly caters to the interests of exactly this type of character. Several characters point out that it is [[MostWritersAreMale probably written by]] the same idiots who publish "[=GameBro=]".

Almost guaranteed to show up in a TwoGamersOnACouch series. Compare OtakuSurrogate. Contrast DungeonmastersGirlfriend, NerdNanny.

** Roxy is also this in the RetroGaming sense. [[spoiler:In which said RetroGaming also includes games for the Wii, since she's from the future]].

* Annika Lundgren in ''Webcomic/Elwood2015'' is a paricularly ruthless example who gives absolutely no quarter to her opponents in multiplayer games, which is justified because she has ambitions to go pro someday.

* ''Webcomic/PvP'' Marcy is a pretty cookie-cutter example. The same webcomic averts this trope with Jade, who both acts like a normal woman and isn't portrayed as being any more skilled at {{MMORPG}}s (which, interestingly enough, actually is one of the most popular genres amongst women) than an average person.

* Arisaka of ''VisualNovel/AokanaFourRhythmAcrossTheBlue'' plays [[BlandNameProduct the PSQ, the 4DS,]] and even mobile phone games.

* ''Literature/TheCaseFilesOfJewelerRichard'': Octavia Manorland is a hardcore gamer girl in gothic lolita clothing and an aristocratic upbringing. She refuses to even entertain a conversation with someone who cannot beat a video game she's playing. The climax of her character arc in volume ten revolved around playing ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' with the others.

* ''LightNovel/{{Haganai}}'': Sena Kashiwazaki, the beautiful, drop-dead gorgeously sexy school idol, turns out to have a thing for games -- specifically, {{eroge}}s. She invokes VideoGameCaringPotential as her reason.
* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' has Yuki Nagato, who at first doesn't even know how to operate a computer mouse, but quickly defeats the Computer Club in an RTS game.

* Theiamillis Gre Fortorthe in ''LightNovel/InvadersOfTheRokujyouma'' Is a princess from an advanced galactic civilization. As part of her trials to become Empress, she wrote her thesis on the ancient video games of her culture. On Earth, She's thrilled to have a chance to play games with a similar level of technology and development.

* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': Akira’s VirtualSidekick Alpha makes him an isometric sim game starring himself to let him practice his decision-making as a hunter when not in the field. Akira struggles to get very far in it. After Akira leaves his phone with Sheryl for a while, she tries it and is frustrated that it kills Akira (her LivingEmotionalCrutch) so easily, so she determinedly clears it. Akira is shocked when he learns this, and in a reverse of their usual dynamic, physically clings to Sheryl for a while (to watch her play). Akira also gives Sheryl the phone, which serves as a ChekhovsGun.

* ''LightNovel/StudentCouncilsDiscretion'': Mafuyu. She writes game walkthroughs as if it were her mission in life.
* Most of the main cast of ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' is comprised of gamer chicks. Asuna, Lisbeth, and Silica were all among the players trapped in the VRMMORPG "Sword Art Online", and after their time there became passionate gamer fanatics, mainly playing "[=ALFheim Online=]". Later addition to the cast, Sinon plays a shooter game called "Gun Gale Online" and one of the rare female players there. While Yuuki played an assortment of games with her guild before debuting in the story when she tried out ALO.

* In ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'', as [[AmnesiacHero Carol]] gradually recovers her memories, she sees one of herself playing ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', and [[spoiler:[[AdaptationalHeroism a young Skrull refugee]]]] has developed an affinity for ''VideoGame/SpaceInvaders'' while in hiding, proudly showing off her high score when she's finally reunited with her father.

* ''Literature/NuklearAge'' Brian Clevinger's novel. Rachel, Atomic Lad's girlfriend, is also a notable example. Mildly subverts the normal gamer chick template in that she is portrayed as being very attractive and feminine, with a wide variety of creative interests and quirky mannerisms. In short, the perfect woman for about 90% of the book's target audience. [[spoiler:Which makes [[MoralEventHorizon what happens to her]] all the more [[PlayerPunch gut-wrenching to witness]].]]
* Played with by Kirsty in ''[[Literature/JohnnyMaxwellTrilogy Only You Can Save Mankind]]''; as the characters are pre-teens attractiveness doesn't enter into it, and while she's ''technically'' better at the game than Johnny, this results in a refusal to acknowledge that TheGameComeToLife isn't going the way it's supposed to.

* ''[[Series/WonderWoman1975 Wonder Woman]]'': Jamie in "Skateboard Wiz", who can easily beat anyone at everything from arcade games to blackjack as a result of her math-savant abilities.

** In the [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc original's]] UpdatedReRelease, Junko Enoshima will note that she's a fan of FPS games in School Mode (a rarity, given that FPS games are less prevalent in Japan). In fact, she's the only female character that Naegi will make comments about the (lack of) video games to. [[spoiler:In hindsight, "Junko Enoshima" being the Ultimate Soldier Mukuro Ikusaba helps explain her love of the genre.]]

* Deconstructed with Amy in ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework''. Amy prefers video games over books and movies because they are interactive, and therefore messier, giving the player the kind of agency that readers and watchers can never get.
* ''VisualNovel/KagetsuTohya'', the sequel fandisc to ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}''. In an optional scene, it is revealed that [[StepfordSmiler Kohaku]] is an avid gamer and capable of kicking Shiki's butt in every genre they play.

* To some extent most if not all of the girls who are part of WebAnimation/{{hololive}} play games as part of their various streams, but Botan Shishiro particularly stands out among them as her favorite games to play include first-person shooters, which is especially unusual due to the genre's long-time unpopularity in Japan. Her streams have demonstrated she is very skilled at games like ''VideoGame/RainbowSixSiege'' and the ''VideoGame/{{Battlefield}}'' series. In addition, she built her own PC with four monitors and tends to be the go-to expert among the group for hardware specs and advice.

%%* Some of the members of the ''LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}'', including LetsPlay/HannahRutherford, LetsPlay/KimRichards, and LetsPlay/ZoeyProasheck, are females.
* ''WebVideo/TheOnlineGamer'': Becca definitely counts. She got into an IRL FlameWar at dinner and used a mixture of horror and ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' terminology to insult her boyfriend. See it here at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioqxZitukVc&feature=channel]]
* ''WebVideo/PurePwnage'' Anastasia is a ''VideoGame/WorldofWarcraft'' player who at the start of the series is a fairly casual gamer but becomes increasingly more and more of a [[strike:hardcore gamer]] hopeless social-networking-site-with-graphics addict as the show progresses.
%%* [=TheGameStation=] (now Creator/{{Polaris}}) has surprisingly many female gamers, i.e. ''WebVideo/PressHeartToContinue''.

%%* In season 2 of ''WebVideo/BiteMe'', Shawna becomes one after Greg introduces her to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.

* ''WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay'': Best Friend Zaibatsu makes repeated references to someone called "Dork Girl" but she has yet to be really seen. Some girls also play with Matt and Pat in some of their videos but they don't talk much.

* All the members of ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'' are gamers of one stripe or another, having at least one genre that they thrive in (e.g. Suisei with Tetris, Subaru with fighting games, Gura with rhythm games, Aqua, Towa, Botan and Ame with first-person shooters, Marine and Kiara with [=JRPGs=], etc.) and aren't shy about dipping their toes into others. This is why ''hololive GAMERS'' became an artifact title (now just used to refer to the unnumbered generation between the second and third gens), along with the fact that none of them are slouches with the idol singer part of the business even if they don't put as much focus on it as Sora, [=AZKi=] and Suisei.

* Unexpectedly, in one ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' fic, ''[[ProperLady Liechtenstein]]'' is one of these: Some boys on Xbox Live mock her for being a girl, and she kicks their asses. ''Many'' times. You go, girl!
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13315535/1/Everyone-Loves-Mob Everyone Loves Mob]]'': Mob (gender-swapped) and Tome bond over games. She's not as big of a gamer as Tome but gaming is still one of the bedrocks of their relationship.

* ''Fanfic/UnbreakableRedSilkenThread'': Emma and Kitty are very successful gaming streamers going by the name Kit'Em.

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' Grace is this with [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2002-03-01 pc]], [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-03-24 console]] and [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-05-07 hand held]] games.
* ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt'' introduces Jigsaw's sister, Sudoku, by having her complain about her parents throwing her "off her rhythm" by pausing her game in the middle of a boss fight to watch the reality show. Granted, she doesn't know Jigsaw's on there (just Daisy), but it doesn't matter because nobody's going to die in the first episode ''anyway''...
%%* Main character Italy Ishida of ''Webcomic/TheLounge''.
* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' has Marigold Farmer. Unusually, it is ''not'' a gaming webcomic and part of Marigold's CharacterDevelopment is learning to come out of her shell. There ''is'' mention of girls who make a big deal out of being female ''World of Warcraft'' players, though.

* ''Webcomic/{{Tripp}}'': Sam loves to beat Tripp at Mario Kart. She even shows off her new Elder Scrolls tattoo in an early strip.
* ''Webcomic/LeftoverSoup'' gives us Ellen and her entire tabletop gaming group -- Max, Lily, Gina, and Nicole. Ellen herself is also an avid ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' player, one of the first things we learn about her.
* Ye Thuza from ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'' initially bonded with her husband by playing ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''. She even named her kids Cloud and Yuna.
