Serena isn't actually skinny by the standards of the first season.


* ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'' seems to have paradoxically been getting ''more'' like this while its [[ArtEvolution art has improved]]. Attractive female characters tend towards having the same Barbie doll figure, but you wouldn't think of this trope at the beginning with variously skinnier examples like Rachel, Anaak Jahad, and Serena Linnen showing up prominently. But fast forward to "Hell Train: The Name Hunt Station", you've still got a couple of exceptions like Anaak and Sia Sia, but with all the women suddenly seemingly wearing more form-fitting clothing, as well as being better drawn, you can easily keep listing examples who all look the same shape: Endorsi, Ehwa, Lilial and Shilial, Alphine, Elaine, Hwaryun, Yuri, and that minor character with pointy red hair, just in this story.

* The majority of the characters in ''VideoGame/BanG Dream!'' look like generic anime girls. The only things that distinguish themselves from one another is the hair color, hair style, eye color, and sometimes eye shape.

In most animated works and comics featuring an ensemble cast the male characters will have a wide range of body types -- TheSmartGuy will often be [[GeekPhysiques small and slender]], TheBigGuy will be either huge and muscular or endearingly pudgy, and TheHero will typically be somewhere in between.

** Generally speaking, Oda's good at creating unique {{Gonk}} or otherwise average/cute female faces which are "allowed" to have odd little quirks, like [[PerkyGoth Perona's]] unique big black eyes and round head. But when he goes for conventionally attractive ladies, he tends to make Nami or Robin clones. Now they ''are'' distinguishable, but each one of them noticeably take something or the other from Nami or Robin, whether it's hair, eyes, head shape, etc. In Nami's camp, we have Nami herself, Vivi, Conis, Keimi, Bonney, Shirahoshi, Rebecca, Kaya, Scarlett. As for Robin, there's Robin herself, Alvida, Hancock, Baby 5, Viola, and even Tashigi has some Robin-esque features after the Timeskip. Although, all in all, what really makes them look alike is the fact they all have the same body shape too.

* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': Other than height, there's very little difference in build among ''any'' of the girls in the show, with the exception of [[FanNickname Usagi's fat friend]], who disappears halfway into the series and never even gets named on screen.
* In ''Manga/ChroniclesOfTheGoingHomeClub'' (Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku), all the girls have the same figure. Considering that there is also a OnlySixFaces, the characters' hairs and eyes are the only major differences between them (along with few differences in their school uniform).

* Creator/ArchieComics, from it's inception until around ''2013'', was absolutely infamous for this and OnlySixFaces. Aside from certain stereotypes (Dilton the nerd was usually drawn as short and gangly while Moose the jock was OneHeadTaller than everyone else and equally broad) and matronly characters, you really couldn't tell the main cast apart from the neck down. This was occasionally {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in certain strips, such as when Betty and Veronica decided to switch hairstyles and dyed their locks correspondingly and ''Archie couldn't tell the difference at first glance''.
* Mike Deodato's art on ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'' very noticeably has every female meant to be under 80 and/or attractive have the same build and height with hair, costume and skin tone all that can be used to try telling them apart. This really sticks out when characters like the normally stocky and short Etta or the usually square jawed and muscled Philippus show up and are entirely unrecognizable until they are addressed by other characters.

* An interesting example is in the background of ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''; Edna Mode's design studio has three body type mannequins to model her clothes on: huge buff dude, medium-sized buff dude, and woman. [[FridgeLogic Perhaps she refuses to make costumes for any other body types.]] The film itself is an aversion: besides the comically-short Edna Mode herself, female characters include Helen Parr (hourglass figure, prominent thighs, relatively small upper body), her daughter Violet (scaled down, more-petite version of Helen), and the comically, almost disturbingly-thin Mirage.

* This has been a consistent complaint over ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' character models; the alpha builds, while rough, often had the females look like counterparts to the males of their race, but when it came time for final builds (after receiving yea many complaints about being ugly) it was like the developers threw up their hands and said "screw it, let's make them all barbie dolls". The dwarf, gnome, and pandaren females actually avert this, however, with the first and last being rather thick and curvy, while the 2nd is appropriately proportioned for such a short race. To a lesser extent, so do the Tauren.

* This is generally true for almost all Creator/BioWare games, which tend to have only one male and one female models, used for all [=NPCs=] regardless of age or sometimes even species (for example, human body models are shared among other things by Twi'leks and Zabraks in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', and by asari and batarians in ''Franchise/MassEffect''). ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire'', however, averts this, as there are fat, short or skinny NPC men and women.

* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' got some flak for this. Both genders technically have four body types: short, medium, tall, and heavy. For the men, this results in a wiry short character, a broad shouldered tall character, and an obese fat character. The women, however, are all nearly identical. While the tall character is a good head taller than the others, her proportions are nearly identical. Short means one inch and a slightly smaller bust, while heavy means a slightly larger bust. You'd be hard pressed to distinguish between body types at even a short distance.

* Averted in ''VideoGame/LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII''. Most of the female [=NPCs=] have the same slender figure, but there are a few who are more solidly built, for example Slaughterhouse Zoe and one of the Chocobo Girls. It may or may not be significant that the fat Chocobo Girl is hidden in an alley and the slim ones are on the main street.
* In ''VideoGame/MarvelContestOfChampions'', while the male heroes have several different body types (including "Beast" like Hulk, Juggernaut and Abomination, "Heroic" like Captain America, Black Panther and Electro, and "Slim" like Spider-Man) all the females have the exact same body type and PaintedOnPants style clothing. Eventually averted by the addition of Comicbook/SpiderGwen and ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 whose frames are noticeably thinner and smaller than the other female characters', which makes sense as the two are teenagers and the rest are adult women.

** Series creator Itagaki stated in an interview once that the reason that most of the girls' faces are smooth and featureless is because the crew did research on what most (Japanese) people considered to be "beautiful". The result was that the more rounded, youthful and featureless a face appeared, the more attractive people found it. As such, aside from variation in eye shape and hairstyle, there's very little difference between the ladies.
** Even as late as 3, there were only two basic female models - the willowy adult (Helena, Christie, ect.) and the teenager (Kasumi, Ayame, ect.) - with hair, outfit, and fighting styles setting them apart. No longer the case as of 5, however; every character has their own model, and Last Round makes use of the new [[JigglePhysics Soft Engine]] to give every girl's body unique properties. How actually ''different'' these models are in practice, however, is subject to interpretation.

* ''VideoGame/{{Smite}}'' is pretty bad about this. Up until the release of Scylla (a little girl) all female characters had the same body shape, and even then it took another two years for another female with a unique body type to come along (Jing Wei, a teenager.) There were many females introduced in the two year gap, but they had the same body shape as most of the other females did.

* While every character in ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' does have their differing characteristics that this isn't as major of a problem, a majority of of the females do have very similar physical builds that differ by bust size and species. Some exceptions are the fat lady NPC in Half-Genie Hero, the Tan Line Island Princess in Pirate's Curse, and some of the enemies from the collective series.

* Very literal in ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'', which has only one model for female characters due to budget limitiations. Given these limitations, though, the dev has tried to avert this- female characters have different bust sizes, and more important characters have unique animations, eye shapes, and accessories.

* Parodied in ''Webcomic/{{Oglaf}}'', where it's revealed that the females of ''every'' species, [[SexyDimorphism no matter how diverse the males might be]], look like sexy human women with maybe a few CuteMonsterGirl traits added. This causes one group to conclude that humans are secretly abominations, because their males are the only ones to look relatively like their females, only "blobby chicks you wouldn't fuck."

** ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'' and ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'' used pretty much the same body and face types in nearly all the adult female chacters, particularly the [[ActionGirl Action Girls]], to the point where the best way to tell them apart was by their clothes and hair.

* Similarly, the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse's character designs come in two flavors, generally speaking: Male and Female. This was at its most pronounced throughout ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', particularly the ''JLU'' seasons. The only bodytype differences were made by making the body wider or skinnier (Superman was broader shouldered, but generally had the same proportions as the Flash, and similarly, Wonder Woman was simply a broader-shouldered version of Hawkgirl). Females mostly have the same ''face'', with different hairstyles keeping them distinct. There ''is'' one general exception, in the form of the "Block-shaped" male mold used for Gorillas, Grundy, and other stouter types, but that's about it.

* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' is pretty bad about this, as there are only two body models for human adults of both sexes: "normal" and "fat." Morrigan is a twentysomething whose good looks other characters comment on. Wynne is a mage in her sixties. Put them in the same type of armor, and they're identical from the neck down. Meanwhile, Alistair is a warrior in his early twenties also described as attractive and muscular, and has the same body model as the much older and ailing Arl Eamon, the elderly Bann Ceorlic, and sundry SquishyWizard mages of all ages. The "fat" model is used for Lloyd the innkeeper and several extras (the female one shows up only on extras and Arl Eamon's cook).

* ''Webcomic/LearningWithMangaFGO'' shows this discrepancy the few times male characters show up. The boys (both in-comic and in the ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder April Fools pranks) have been drawn as variously buff, skinny, cherubic, and plain, and have a wider variety of face shapes. The girls, on the other hand, tend to have the same stocky body and round face. [[AdaptedOut Like the guys in general]], the few girls that don't outright don't appear in the strips.

But fast forward to "Hell Train: The Name Hunt Station", you've still got a couple of exceptions like Anaak and Xiaxia, Sia Sia, but with all the women suddenly seemingly wearing more form-fitting clothing, as well as being better drawn, you can easily keep listing examples who all look the same shape: Androssi, Endorsi, Yihwa, Lilial and Shilial, Alphine, Elaine, Hwa Ryun, Yuri, and that minor character with pointy red hair, just in this story.

** Averted in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}}'', which has variable body types for both genders, ranging from thin to fat to muscular.
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' is pretty bad about this. Morrigan is a twentysomething whose good looks other characters comment on. Wynne is a mage in her sixties. Put them in the same type of armor, and they're identical from the neck down. The elf Zevran will frequently comment on this fact.
** Though it must be said the same is true for male bodies; there are only two body models for human adults of both sexes, "normal" and "fat." Alistair, a warrior in his early twenties also described as attractive and muscular, has the same body model as the much older and ailing Arl Eamon, the elderly Bann Ceorlic, and sundry SquishyWizard mages of all ages. The "fat" model is used for Lloyd the innkeeper and several extras (the female one shows up only on extras and Arl Eamon's cook).
** This is generally true for almost all Creator/BioWare games, which tend to have only one male and one female models, used for all [=NPCs=] regardless of age or sometimes even species (for example, human body models are shared among other things by Twi'leks and Zabraks in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', and by asari and batarians in ''Franchise/MassEffect''). ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire'', however, averts this, as there are fat, short or skinny NPC men and women.

* Mike Deodato's art on ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'' very noticeably has every female meant to be under 80 and/or attractive have the same build and height with hair, costume and skin tone all that can be used to try telling them apart. This really sticks out when characters like the normally stocky and short Etta or the usually square jawed and muscled Philippus show up and are entirely unrecognizable until they are addressed by other characters.

** While it has always had a brilliant record for differentiating male characters from one another (perhaps more so than any other manga out there, considering just how outlandish and distinctive each of those characters tends to be), the ''female'' characters have traditionally come from a far, far more limited palette, thus evoking the "female characters are more susceptible" aspect of this trope in spades. There was a time when it wouldn't have been a stretch to describe the vast majority of females as "Nami clones" (the few exceptions mostly being the women who [[{{Gonk}} barely look human at all]] like Miss Merry Christmas). Perhaps inevitably, considering just how large his cast has grown, Oda recently seems to have overcome this limitation, even to the point of coming up with an [[LadyLand island of nothing but female characters]], with a crapload of differentiation, in the largest part because he quit "holding back" and let the female characters have faces as wild and outlandish as any male character. Nami even has a bit more variation in her own face following the recent {{Art Evolution}}. Ironically, thanks to the same art evolution and character design change makes Boa Hancock and post timeskip-Robin look too much alike in the process, especially in the close-ups.

* {{Gender Inverted}} in ''Manga/MahouShoujoOre''. The girls come in various shapes and sizes, from short and cute, to tall, busty, and cool, to even getting in age and rail-thin. The magical boys, on the other hand, are the same height and build across the board (even Saki's mom, who's been out of the game for years before the story starts, retains this HeroicBuild when she transforms). The bad guys are just nude versions of the hero model, making it jarring when one character tells the heroes to stop the "macho" villains. The only exceptions to this rule are Kokoro and Mohiro, both of which don't have much panel time.

Upon realising this, Torg becomes GenreSavvy enough to be able to advice Riff, and after hearing his advice, Riff wonders why the hell [[FailedASpotCheck he didn't notice]] it sooner that while most slime blobs are just blobs, some of them have that blob for a head atop the same old bikini'd sexy female body.

* Similarly, the Franchise/{{DCAU}}'s character designs come in two flavors, generally speaking: Male and Female. This was at its most pronounced throughout ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', particularly the ''JLU'' seasons. The only bodytype differences were made by making the body wider or skinnier (Superman was broader shouldered, but generally had the same proportions as the Flash, and similarly, Wonder Woman was simply a broader-shouldered version of Hawkgirl). Females mostly have the same ''face'', with different hairstyles keeping them distinct. There ''is'' one general exception, in the form of the "Block-shaped" male mold used for Gorillas, Grundy, and other stouter types, but that's about it.
