* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' despite gems almost [[OneGenderRace universally using female pronouns]] (aside from [[TheOneGuy Steven]]) The three main Crystal Gems do follow this trope. For the most part.
** Pearl represents the feminine side with her ballerina-like outfits consisting of skirts, ribbons, and pastel colors.
** Amethyst is loud, boisterous, messy, and aggressive which represents a more masculine side.
** Garnet is a fusion between a masculine-presenting soldier Ruby and a more feminine-presenting and aristocratic Sapphire (although during their wedding, Ruby opts for a dress while Sapphire wears a suit). Garnet herself is very androgynous with their form neither being too feminine nor too masculine.
*** Also technically applies to the secondary Crystal gems as well. Lapis being feminine, Bismuth being Masculine, and Peridot being Androgynous.

The androgynous member may identify as a particular gender, fall outside the gender binary, [[NoBiologicalSex have no sex]], or [[{{Hermaphrodite}} be both at the same time]]. {{Nonhuman Sidekick}}s count as long as they are not particularly masculine or feminine in appearance. They may also be portrayed as a prepubescent child due to the lack of secondary sex characteristics, and can be part of the reason that main characters often have ABoyAGirlAndABabyFamily. The baby, no matter its gender, will be too young to be outwardly feminine or masculine. Likewise, the masculine member does not have to be male (they can be TheLadette or a ButchLesbian, for example) and the feminine member does not have to be female (they can be CampGay or InTouchWithHisFeminineSide).

Although this dynamic is most common in trios, an androgynous character can be used to round out [[Administrivia/TropesAreFlexible any odd-numbered group]] like five or seven.

Compare TownGirls (a similar all-female ensemble with one masculine member, one feminine member, and one who is neither masculine nor feminine) and GenderEqualEnsemble, a way to even out the gender ratio with an even number of characters.

It helps that the production team points out their resemblance to Team Rocket.

* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' has a seven-person variation in the Faith of the Seven, which is comprised of three masculine figures ([[TheThreeFacesOfAdam the Warrior, the Father, and the Smith]]), three feminine figures ([[TheHecateSisters the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone]]), and the Stranger, a mysterious figure who is neither male or female and sometimes depicted as nonhuman. This androgyny is because they represent death and the unknown.

Ra is unambiguously male and Mara is unambiguously female, but Lillith, though referred to as a female, is closer to Ra than Mara in terms of physical appearance.

* The 3 main characters of Manga/{{Berserk}} are [[TheProtagonist Guts]], a six-and-a-half-foot-tall muscular behemoth of a man with undying fury (Masculine); [[{{Deuteragonist}} Griffith]], an AmbiguouslyBi AgentPeacock with long flowing white hair (Androgyne); and [[{{Tritagonist}} Casca]], a short-haired AmbiguouslyBrown AmazonianBeauty (Feminine). This is a somewhat strange example since Griffith arguably looks more feminine than Casca, but Griffith usually receives a voice almost as deep as Guts' in adaptations. [[spoiler: Their partnership collapses when Griffith betrays the other two to ascend to godhood and rapes Casca in front of Guts, with the latter narrowly escaping the same fate.]]

* From ''Manga/ChocoMimi'', there's the pets of the main trio: Chiffon, Huckleberry and Picho, which is most pronounced in the "Pichokleffon" side stories, which literally humanizes them. Chiffon is a male dog who desperately wants to be seen as a noble samurai (and hates it when his owner Mimi dresses him up in cute frilly outfits). Huckleberry is a female cat who, when made to look human, is a cute girl in a fluffy dress. Picho is a small bird with the human form of an androgynous child who nobody can tell the gender of InUniverse, with Picho noting only bird experts can know for sure.
