Yoko is a MamaBear who will do anything she can to protect her family and while she ''does'' fight off rich assholes, she takes it upon herself to extend a hand to those who need help and will not let grudges take over when there's more serious matters to attend to. The author, the same one who wrote ''Infinity Train: Blossoming Trial'', also made comments at how she wished Yoko had a bigger role and how the anime would drastically change if a mother took the helm.

* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'' has the focus on Chloe Cerise, who doesn't ''want'' to be the "female companion of Ash Ketchum who goes on a journey and finds her GoalInLife via Pokémon" but feels all the pressure when everyone ''else'' expects her to follow this role because of her father (the local Pokémon Professor) and sees that those creatures just take everyone's attention away from her, making her feel unloved and unwanted. When she finds herself on the Infinity Train, the first thing she does is get a change in wardrobe, swapping the school uniform with anchors with a dress for fish to symbolize her freedom, and decides that she's going to discover herself while on the train and not give a Fletchling about her family and friends worrying for her because she knows that going back home will mean everyone just forcing her to go along with their wishes and her going back to the status quo.
** The author, herself a woman, points out the ''numerous'' amounts of {{Double Standard}}s Chloe faces because of her gender whereas Ash and Goh are praised or have the freedom to follow their dreams because either they're into Pokémon or are boys or how she's bullied either because she's skilled in something that's mostly for boys (softball) or because she isn't into what everyone in society is into (demons, writing and macabre) in fact stating that the entire story was ''inspired'' by a DoubleStandard moment from the anime itself[[labelnote:Explanation]]When asked what she wanted to be in life, everyone talked over her; the previous student, a boy, gets away with "My life is a work in progress"[[/labelnote]] and finding it increasingly annoying how much Chloe is OutOfFocus over Goh[[labelnote:Explanation]]Chloe's first focus episode was Episode 11, the story was written before Episode 29 which would have been her ''second'' focus episode[[/labelnote]].

* Webcomic/TheWendybird reinvents the story of Literature/PeterPan this way. The story focuses on Wendy's thirst for adventure and becoming Neverland's savior. At least 75% of the cast is [[GenderFlip gender-bent]], and many of the females are given a heavy amount of {{Xenafication}}, including Captain Hook and Tiger Lily.

* ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonorUnderground'': A prominent CentralTheme of the game is Manon Batiste's femininity and her place as a young French spy living and fighting through the [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII deadliest conflict in human history]]. Even though Manon never speaks outside of the intro and post-mission films (and only pain grunts and death cries when she is shot during gameplay), the missions continually harken to her womanhood -- she is the sister of a LaResistance cell leader, stealth sequences have her posing as a female journalist to infiltrate German facilities, taking cheeky snaps of the German soldiers with the camera to get them to lower their guard and let her through checkpoints when the paperwork fails.

* While "VideoGame/EldenRing" doesn't really have a set MainCharacter, with the Tarnished being a blank slate, a look at the characters of the wider setting and the overall lore firmly puts it into this trope. For one, the resident TopGod of the setting is a woman, Queen Marika the Eternal, which itself is a massive departure from most mythologies, including the [[{{Myth/ClassicalMythology}} Classical]] and [[{{Myth/NorseMythology}} Norse]] ones that were among the main inspirations for the setting. Furthermore, she's shown to be a cunning, ruthlessly intelligent Chessmaster and warlord who had a big part in forging her empire into what it is now. On top of that, there's the fact that despite both her spouses being men, she's shown to be the one holding the reigns in their relationships. It's especially notable in the case of Godfrey, who despite being the archetypal ManlyMan, is shown to be perfectly fine with this, to the point of having no resentment against her for exiling him, as indicated by his cut dialogue. And going beyond Marika, quite a few of the big players in the setting are women. Queen Rennala is not only the ruler of Liurnia, she's also TheArchmage of the setting, being credited as the most powerful sorceress in the LandsBetween, along with holding the position of WorldsSmartestWoman. And perhaps most strikingly of all, we have Malenia, who's not only a contender for both WorldsStrongestMan and WorldsBestWarrior, she does all of this while being a [[HandicappedBadass blind, triple-amputee suffering from a terminal illness]], a reputation she more than lives up to as the game's premier {{Superboss}}.

Furthermore, of the five [[TheChosenOne Empyreans]] mentioned in game, four of them (Marika, Ranni, Malenia, and the Gloam-Eyed Queen) are women, with only one man among them (Miquella). And perhaps most strikingly speaking of all, the Empyreans, we have Malenia, who's not only a contender for both WorldsStrongestMan and WorldsBestWarrior, she does all of this while being a [[HandicappedBadass blind, triple-amputee suffering from a terminal illness]], a reputation she more than lives up to as the game's premier {{Superboss}}.

* The Nasuverse as a whole arguably falls into this. While some of the later entries definitely tend to be more heavy on [[Fanservice Fanservice]], there's no denying that it's filled with a high number of powerful, competent women. Of the entries, "Literature/TheGardenOfSinners" and "VisualNovel/WitchOnTheHolyNight" both follow female protagonists with little to no Fanservice, and in "VisualNovel/FateStayNight" and "VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}", the heroines tend to be just as, if not more, competent and powerful than the male protagonists, with Arcueid, the "main" heroine of the latter, being a contender for strongest character in the setting.
