Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)

Relevant wicks for the wick check I performed on Two Girls to a Team.

Compare The Bechdel Test, Two Girls to a Team, and Two Guys and a Girl for similar critiques of female:male proportions in fiction.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Of the six main M&M's characters, only Green and Brown are female.

---

• The Smurfette Principle: Diamond Ryugu is the only female Dragozaur whereas Dino Ptera is the only female Dino Knight until the revival of Dino Icthyo. This applies to Icthyo herself in the Japanese version, as Ptera is male there. Ryugu is male in the latter version as well.

---

• The Smurfette Principle: Grendizer played this trope with Hikaru until the third season when Maria joined the team and the gender ratio became 2:2.
  • Two Girls to a Team: Since the last season.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Due to Miho being upgraded to a main character from her one-off status in the manga, she and Anzu are the main female characters.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Excluding Gideon, who is an A.I., there are two women in the team in Seasons 1 and 2. Averted from Season 3 onward, which features at least three women at any time.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: There are two distinct female members among the group.

---

• The Smurfette Principle: The only girl in Team Q4. Dropped when she joins the Cardfight Club, as the team also has Kourin, making it Two Girls to a Team. But later becomes this again in VD when Kourin was erased from everyone's memories after she lost her duty as a "Called Walker".

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Harley and Ivy are the only women on the team. However there's more focus on them than the rest of the crew.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Supergirl and Wonder Woman.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Her and Sam serve as this to the main six.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: She and Starla are this to Starfleet.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Lucia and Aina are the only female members of the Burning Rescue.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Inverted, while the Children could hardly be considered a team, there are five of them, and Shinji and Kaworu are the only boys. After Kaworu's death in the third movie, Shinji is now the only male among the Children.

---

• Amazon Brigade: Her team for most of the early parts of the run consists mostly of female Pokémon, with usually two exceptions at a time (in sort of an inversion of Two Girls to a Team). Whenever she caught another male Pokémon that the couch wants to use, one of the existing males would die so that the ratio stays constant, as was the case for Audie replacing Dudebird and then Melvin replacing Audie.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Along with Ariados on Nigel's Champion team.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Along with Cheza.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: With Sophia, initially, for the Brockton Bay Wards. She's not happy with this, and is predictably pleased when Madison joins the team.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: The No Names have Chel and Rei as their only women.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: At first with Emma Reimer and Stephanie Brouwer, but that ends once the Wasp joins MLI in Series IV.

---

• The Smurfette Principle: Entirely averted by changing the Green Ranger into a girl, making it so there are now Two Girls to a Team from the get-go.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: The titular Six include two women, one of them a doctor and the other a CIA spook.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Out of a cast of six, Norah and Emily are the only females. Norah comes across the body of a female colleague at the start but that's it.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Susan and Lucy.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Geralt's hanse after Angouleme joins them.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Gender-Inverted. The team consists of four females and two males. Later this gets bumped up to five females with the addition of Alice/Arisu Maresato (though there are three males if you count Zeke/Zero).

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Iris starts being integrated into Team Flash.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Tara and Rosita with Glenn, Abraham and Eugene.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: This becomes the case for both the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy as they add more members to their rosters in the sequels:
  • The Avengers gained Scarlet Witch as their second woman after Black Widow.
  • The Guardians briefly had three girls on their team during the final fight of Vol. 2, but Nebula left (albeit on good terms) after the battle on her own personal mission, leaving Gamora and Mantis as the two women for the group. As of Endgame, it's still two, but now it's Nebula and Mantis. Gamora's situation is complicated.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: The second Sentai team to have two girls at the same time. However, instead of the now-traditional Pink and Yellow duo, this one had Pink and White. In later teams, White was more often used for female rangers as a substitute for Pink. It wouldn't be until 30 years later that a Sentai team would have another Pink and White female duo with Momoninger and Shironinger in Shuriken Sentai Ninninger.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: The seventh Yellow and Pink duo and the third one in a row. This was the last Sentai team with two female rangers at the same time for the next six years before Dekaranger brought it back.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: T'Pol and Hoshi, the experienced and emotionless Vulcan officer and (initially) nervous rookie communications specialist. Interestingly, as T'Pol learns to embrace her emotions more as she spends more time around humans, Hoshi becomes much more adept at dealing with her own fears and doubts as the mission progresses.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Theresa Beck and Julie Young are the team's girls.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: UMA has Jean Echo and Kim Shaomin.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Supergirl and Bleez were the only female members of Guy Gardner's Red Lantern Corps. Bleez was actually glad that Supergirl joined because she wasn't the only girl anymore.

---

• Beyblade Burst again averts the trope only for the protagonist team, BC Sol in this case. However, it's a strong example of Two Girls to a Team, because of the ten members two are girls.

---

• Eyeshield 21 is about high school boys playing American Football. The only position a female student can have is the manager position. Unusually, as long as a team has a manager, that position is filled by a girl. Later on, the protagonist team is joined by a second girl; a prominent and active cheerleader. This moves the Devil Bats to a Two Girls to a Team example.

---

• Most guilds, especially the Dark Guilds and Quirky Miniboss Squads, have just one (to two) female members.

---

• Luffy's crew, the Straw Hats, begin at five members, including Nami, their navigator. After East Blue, they add four more members, including another female, Nico Robin.

---

• Ash's Snivy and Unfezant from the Best Wishes saga are the only two Pokémon Ash caught in Unova that are female. His Boldore is heavily implied to be male and the rest of his Unova Pokémon are confirmed as such. Ash regularly rotates his Unova team, but almost always has Snivy in his active party, while Unfezant is usually Out of Focus and rarely needs to be called on to search for Team Rocket like his other regional birds. In fact, Unfezant was Put on a Bus for the rest of the saga once Charizard returned, making Snivy the only female member of Ash's team.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: In the remake, Yaksha joins Kunoichi as the second female playable character.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Atiye and Lynn are the only two girls in the party.

---

• Shadow of War: The youngest member of the team and the only other female. Her identity is hidden by the large, dark, raggedy cloak she wears. She serves as the team's "eye in the sky" since her primary power is flight. Since she has no canon secret identity or defined unmasked appearance in the comics, she'll be given a proper name, backstory, and added relevancy to the plot. In her civilian identity, she'll go to school with the JSA members and try to tear the team apart through manipulation after she learns who they are.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Nostalgia Chick and MarzGurl. Chick turns her Manipulative Bitch side on full-blast, while Marz becomes a Drill Sergeant Nasty.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Abby and Bessie are the only female major characters in the series.

---

• The Family That Slays Together: Pepper and Dotty are sisters, and even though Dotty disobeys orders to stay at home base, Pepper still loves her. Also falls under the Two Girls to a Team arena.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Patty Putty and Terri Cloth are the only two members of the main group who are girls.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Chip and Sam.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Ursula and Chang.

---

• Two Girls to a Team: One of the few examples with an even split between the two genders. (With the addition of Woofster who is a boy puppy, the gender scale is tipped.)

---

• Two Girls to a Team: Jessie and Mrs. Potato Head among Andy's (and later Bonnie's) toys.

—-

• The Smurfette Principle: Subverted, Allura is set up to be this, until Pidge's Gender Reveal. Though this did make Pidge the sole female Paladin. At least until Season 3 when Allura becomes a pilot as well.

Growing up the second son of royalty, Carlyle knew he would never be the Dex Ducis, the monarch, of the Empire. His brother Hemad received all the attention befitting the heir of a vast interstellar state. And for the most part Caryle was fine with that. A bookish child, he immersed himself in reading about the past. The heroes and villains, the battles and court intrigue, the rise from a collapsed civilization to a beautiful empire. To think that Dex Ducis himself came from the darkness and built the Shining Palace that Carlyle now lived in hundreds of years later. The vastness and glory overwhelmed him. He may not ever be king, but Carlyle was determined to be the next building block in this history of greatness.

• After all, someone had to do it. His father and brother worked hard, but it often seemed like every other noble preferred to waste their days in the capital partying, drinking, eating, fighting over social status for the sake of having it rather than contributing to the Empire in any meaningful sense. Clearly it was up to the royal family to bring about the next golden age. Working with his father and brother, Carlyle and like minded nobles
• After all, someone had to do it. His father and brother worked hard, but it often seemed like every other noble preferred to waste their days in the capital partying, drinking, eating, fighting over social status for the sake of having it rather than contributing to the Empire in any meaningful sense. Clearly it was up to the royal family to bring about the next golden age. Working with his father and brother, Carlyle and like minded nobles stretched the power of the monarchy in a bid to centralize control. Weirdly, it was the minor nobles and commoner officials who gave him the hardest time, objecting to how he and his staff forced them to adopt clearly superior means of running their departments. Annoyed, Carlyle urged his father and brother to force the former into meaningless positions and stop hiring the latter. That proved harder than anticipated, but they did manage to restrict the number of positions available to the low born. Some complained, but Carlyle paid them no heed. It was clear from his reading that the commoners were not better for anything other than rioting when things didn't go their way. Keeping them out of places where they could possibly do harm was for the best of the empire. It took strong great men with the right upbringing, right education, right blood to properly run the Empire.

"What a century this week has been." - Seung Min Kim

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

r Hemad fathered children late in life, but as the years went by his concern over the crown prince grew. What was all this talk of merit based bureaucrats and legislative petitions? Devolving power to the individual worlds? Letting the lowborn back into government positions? Did the prince want to go back to the Nightmare Years?

• That worry was short lived, however, after accidents led to the deaths of the crown prince and his sister, leaving Hemad's third child, Amelia, now the heir apparent. Carlyle didn't know his niece very well, but did not think the 18 year old was ready to rule. Neither did her father, despite his best effort to drill into his shy daughter the lessons of leadership before his own untimely passing. For indeed, Carlyle's brother was wasting away from disease and would soon leave the Empire in the hands of his untested child. And his passing couldn't have come at a worse time. Democracy agitators were calling more loudly than ever before for reforms that would drive the Empire into chaos. Carlyle blamed his late nephew for encouraging them and idiotic local nobility for not cracking down on them earlier. With his inexperienced niece now on the throne, Carlyle encourage her to take hard stand against these thugs, or better yet, let him deal with the matter.
• Suddenly, shows and music were being banned. Demonstration and protests were heavily policed. More than one leader of the democracy movement found themselves hauled off by the Archivists for indefinite periods of time. Surely a firm hand would bring these people back to their senses. Attending the annual music festival some time after the crackdowns, the duke could not help but notice an undercurrent of tension among the audiences of the shows he watched. Moreover, he also couldn't help but notice a number of the shows he watched were bordering on subversive with their lyrics and music styles that were discouraged by the crown. Any pretense that he was just being paranoid was erased at the festival's finale, when the closing band belted out a very blatant anti-monarchial song. A song that was obviously directed at him since his face was on the screen behind the band, being recorded live from his box seat. He could see himself turning red from rage, then ashen as the audience, now facing him, joined in the song's chorus: "Rise! Rise! Rise!"
• He stormed - or fled - away and ordered the band arrested. Predictably a riot broke out, and predictably it was broadcast for the entire Empire to see. He was furious. His niece was aghast. The next day she took him off the suppression efforts, which just made him even more mad. Who did this child think she was? But while he no longer had direct control, he still had his niece's ear if for no other reason than he was the only high member of the court she was familiar with. And thus, when a student demonstration turned into a siege at a small college on a frontier world, he urged her to use maximum force or look like a weak willed leader. His niece, already stung from many rumors that she was too afraid to deal with increasingly bold reformist, was swayed soon enough, and she approved the use of whatever it took to bring this little insurrection under control. Carlyle went to bed assured everything was under control.
• He woke up to discover a night long battle had occurred. The students had fought back hard, but ultimately been massacred to the last man. Again his niece was horrified, but he reassured her it was the right decision. Even when video of the deaths spread across the Empire Carlyle was convinced that it would serve as a deterrent to any rabble with dangerous revolutionary ideas.
• One can only imagine his shock when city after city on world and after world erupted into revolt in response the the massacre at the college. Carlyle's heavy hand had been met with fist, and now the Empire he had worked so hard to keep safe and secure was collapsing into civil war.
