[[caption-width-right:350:The many pink protagonists of the ''Anime/PrettyCure'' franchise.]]

** ''Anime/GoPrincessPrecure'': Like Cure Heart, Cure Flora's hair turns blonde when she transforms - unlike Heart, however, she gains pink streaks in her hair. Her outfit is also pink.

* Karin of ''Anime/TondeBuurin'' transforms into a pink ''pig''.

** Both Chibi Moon's transformation and uniform are predominantly pink. Like Usagi, she also has her own guardians that protect her, which also makes her the "center" of her group. Her pink hair and red eyes are meant to evoke the image of an albino rabbit's ears and eyes, and possibly the idea that {{princesses prefer pink}}.

** All of Usagi's transformation sequences involve pink ribbons swirling around her. Her first, second, and fourth brooches are also heavily pink. Her standard uniform is actually equal parts [[PrimaryColorChampion red and royal blue.]] Her eternal form has big pink puffy sleeves. And in the first manga artbook, Usagi is associated with the color pink. Some of her early designs also show her with pink hair. This was {{subverted}} as the series went on, as Usagi came to be associated more with white/silver while her future daughter becomes heavily associated with the color pink.

* Yuuna from ''Anime/YuukiYuunaWaYuushaDeAru'' is a RedHeadedHero. Her magical girl appearance has pink hair and an equally pink attire.

** All of Usagi's transformation sequences involve pink ribbons swirling around her. Her first, second, and fourth brooches are also heavily pink. Her standard uniform is actually equal parts dark pink and royal blue. Her eternal form has big pink puffy sleeves. And in the first manga artbook, Usagi is associated with the color pink. Some of her early designs also show her with pink hair. This was {{subverted}} as the series went on, as Usagi came to be associated more with white/silver while her future daughter becomes heavily associated with the color pink.

* Utena of ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' has pink hair and turns into a pink car at the end of Adolescence of Utena.

** Steven's late mother, however, appeared to be the traditional pink heroine; her hair, gem, and even her name (Rose Quartz) are a light pink.

* Yuuna from ''Anime/YuukiYuunaWaYuushaDeAru'' is a Red-Headed Hero. Her magical girl appearance has pink hair and an equally pink attire.

Having been influenced by {{sentai}}, many {{magical girl}} shows are {{color coded for your convenience}}. And in these shows the star of the show and/or leader of the team is often the one in pink.

There's usually a good chance this character will have a {{Heart Beat Down}} or {{Petal Power}} attack.

This trope often crosses over with {{Rose Haired Girl}}.

** Steven's late mother, however, appeared to be the traditional pink heroine; her hair, gem, and even her name (Rose Quartz) are a light pink.

Having been influenced by {{sentai}}, many {{magical girl}} shows are {{color coded for your convenience}}. However, unlike their [[RedIsHeroic spear counterpart]], the star of the show and/or leader of the team is typically not the one in red, but the one in pink. This is likely due to the idea that {{pink is feminine}}, as well as it sometimes being viewed as a lighter, more girlish [[RedIsHeroic shade of red]]. The more cynical might consider this trope a form of {{pink product ploy}}.

A SubTrope of RedIsHeroic and PinkMeansFeminine. There's usually a good chance a {{Pink Heroine}} will have a {{Heart Beat Down}} or {{Petal Power}} attack.
