* Frankie Stein from ''Toys/MonsterHigh'' (Prior to the reboot.) is a kind, compassionate, and sweet girl who loves to help others. She's also clumsy to the point where some of her body parts fall apart.

* Frankie Stein from ''Toys/MonsterHigh'' (Prior to the reboot.) is a kind, compassionate, and sweet girl who loves to help others.

* ''Manga/MizuiroJidai'': Yuko Kawai has most of the characteristics, except that she's not a GenkiGirl. But she's still a very cute NaiveEverygirl with a red bow in her hair, painfully shy and insecure, not very good at school, not very good at sports, bossed arround by her aggressive best friend, has a crush on the most popular boy, and is extremely ProneToTears even for the smallest things. Still, everyone in her class likes her, because she's creative, kindhearted, and a good friend.

* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' is heavily influenced by MagicalGirl shows, and this is reflected in its heroine. [[Characters/MiraculousLadybugMarinetteDupainCheng Marinette Dupain-Cheng]] is a feminine aspiring fashion designer who is sweet, klutzy, self-effacing, and tongue-tied around her crush. But overall, she's a downplayed example, as her {{superhero}} alter-ego Ladybug is far more proactive and assertive than the usual example of this trope.

* Himeko Nonohara from ''Manga/HimechansRibbon'' is a cheerful TomboyWithAGirlyStreak who is often mistaken for a boy, because of her BoyishShortHair, her energetic personality, and her interest in sports. This gets mildly alliviated when she starts wearing a magic bow that was gifted upon her from her magic world counterpart (who happens to be a princess). Outside of that, she's not good at studying, she can get emotional easily, she's shy when it comes to love, and she has a hard time expressing herself. She makes up for it by being compassionate and friendly to her friends and family, and eventually starts showing affection for her SecretKeeper, Daichi Kobayashi, the school's fun-loving troublemaker.

* Miki Koishikawa from ''Manga/MarmaladeBoy'' fits the bill. Tomboyish, energetic, and somewhat childish compared to her peers, she [[BroodingBoyGentleGirl meshes well]] with [[FlirtyStepsiblings her cerebral stepbrother Yuu Matsuura]].

* The titular ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' herself is the TropeCodifier, especially amongst MagicalGirl works. 14-year-old Usagi Tsukino has long blonde hair in an OdangoHair style and wears a SailorFuku even when she graduates to high school. She starts out as an [[GenkiGirl energetic]] and NaiveEverygirl who [[BookDumb struggles with her grades]] and is frequently LateForSchool, but she gradually becomes a more competent heroine and draws much of her strength from ThePowerOfFriendship. She's notorious for being a BigEater, especially of {{sweet|Tooth}}s, and has [[WeightWoe troubles with her weight]]. Usagi's eventual boyfriend Mamoru has blue (or black) colour scheme, is OneHeadTaller than her, and is also older than her (he's a 17-year-old second year high school student at the start of the [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]], but an 18-year-old first year college student at the start of the [[Anime/SailorMoon '90s anime]]).

The DistaffCounterpart to the StockShonenHero (another BookDumb AllLovingHero with ThePowerOfFriendship, but who is usually more HotBlooded). Contrast with the StockShonenRival and the StockLightNovelHero (who are more seriously-minded cool customers).

* Sana Kurata from ''Manga/{{Kodocha}}'' is another preteen version and even wears her red hair in GirlishPigtails. She's energetic, plucky, ditzy, and a bit of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, traits that the anime exaggerates to dizzying heights. She's not dumb, but she's quite impulsive and excitable. Nevertheless, she [[TheHeart enjoys helping others]]. Unlike most examples of this trope (the supposedly average insecure girl who just happens to be a DudeMagnet and a MagneticHero), Sana is a celebrity and the most popular girl in her school, so she's mostly confident, but it's later revealed that even she has a few fears and weaknesses of her own (her "relationship" with her manager, the fear of her adoptive mother abandoning her, her growing feelings towards her best friend). The aforementioned best friend and Sana's primary love interest, Akito Hayama, is a stoic and somewhat sarcastic boy who was a school delinquent until Sana single-handedly resolved his own underlying issues out of pure kindness.

* ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'': While the actual main protagonist Haruhi Fujioka is an aversion, her senpai, and love interest, Tamaki Suoh, is a RareMaleExample, being the sole reason why the host club even exists. While he's undeniably handsome and actually skilled with his schoolwork, his common sense is usually at a minimum compared to Haruhi and the other host club members. He's prone to acting childish, can be easily taken advantage of by outsiders, and is hopelessly in love with Haruhi, frequently referring to himself as her "daddy". That said, calling him a real sweetheart would be an understatement, being a light that helped brighten many of the host club memeber's darkened lives. He's known for being very excitable and energetic, and willing to help anyone in distress with no gain from it whatsoever.

%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* The number of ''VideoGame/{{Atelier}}'' protagonists that ''don't'' follow this trope to some degree could probably be counted on one hand.

* [[Characters/StevenUniverseStevenQuartzUniverse Steven Quartz Universe]] from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' is a RareMaleExample between this and a StockShonenHero. He's an [[{{keet}} excitable]] boy who is InTouchWithHisFeminineSide and is an AllLovingHero. He also has a pink color motif that he inherited from his deceased mother.

** Liko, the new lead protagonist of ''Anime/PokemonHorizonsTheSeries'', is a normal, shy schoolgirl who is thrusted into adventure due to carrying a magic pendant from her grandmother that the villains want. She narrates her own story rather than relying on a traditional narrator, and her character revolves around making new friends and becoming more social rather than a ToBeAMaster goal that originally defined Ash's journey.

* Yellow of ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' is a plucky, kind-hearted girl who has HealingHands and SpeaksFluentAnimal. She hates unnecessary violence, cries easily, and is motivated by the boy who saved her life when she was younger. Not entirely a straight example, as she also is (one of) the protag(s) of a kodomo series.
** Similarly, Dawn and Serena from the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime would not be out of place in a shoujo story despite the anime targeting a gender-neutral kodomo audience. Dawn is a PluckyGirl with a pink skirt whose catchphase, "No need to worry," is typical of shoujo heroines. She also participates in Pokemon Contests, which emphasize beauty and are reminiscent of the IdolSinger genre. Serena is even more so this trope, since her ShipTease with Ash is more blatant than any leading girl before her, she isn't focused on battles, and Pokemon Showcases are even more like IdolSinger contests since unlike Contests, which allowed any Trainer to participate, Showcases are exclusively female.
