* While most ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' characters avert this (Mami uses magically-created muskets, Kyoko uses a spear, Sayaka uses swords, and Homura uses real life weapons, including grenades and ''missiles'') Madoka plays this 100% straight, with arrows of pink light being her signature weapon. This is to illustrate her AllLovingHero status[[spoiler:, and later her MessianicArchetype status]].

* PlayedWith in the ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' series: at the start of [[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha the original season]], the eponymous protagonist is the TokenMiniMoe of her family and her powers manifest themselves in a pink-and-gold staff with a heart-shaped jewel that shoots pink beams. It then, however, turns out that little Nanoha is a stone-cold badass and her pink beams-o-friendship are weapons of mass destruction.

* Pink Raven from TeenTitansGo is ''made'' of this trope. Down to farting on garbage and turning it into unicorns!

* ''Manga/SailorMoon'': One MagicalGirl of particular note is the pink haired Sailor Chibi Moon's "Pink Sugar Heart Attack" that's every bit as feminine as it sounds.

* Rainbow Beams: often associated with AllYourColorsCombined. And they tend not to look [[TastesLikeDiabetes diabetes inducing]] in SuperSentai[=/=]PowerRangers.

Actually, it doesn't necessarily mean that the user is a girl. This is just about powers that have a certain sort of girlyness to them. I.e., a guy who beats people up by throwing flowers at them would be this.

Sometimes the super cute power is parodied in-universe by showing itself to be useless, leading the other characters to exclaim "WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway" However, if the cutesy power turns out to be surprisingly {{Badass}}, then it falls under HeartIsAnAwesomePower.

'''NOTE:''' Just about any MagicalGirl counts, so for those just list examples of powers so girly that sugar-coated rainbows come poring out of your ears.

* From ''Comicbook/XMen'':
** There is "Comicbook/{{Dazzler}}: [[FadSuper Disco Queen]]" whose mutant power is effectively to make shiny bright sparkling lights in time to music. In reality, her ability is turning sound into light and vice versa, which [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower has staggering implications]], but for the most part it's used for her disco image.
** Jubilee whose powers have been described as "sparkles" or "fireworks". When she gets good and pissed they can make explosions, making her an energy-blaster to rival Cyclops. They ''still'' look like cute fireworks.

* ''{{Pokemon}}'': The Fairy type, despite its name, tends to be not TheFairFolk, but rather a mix of [[{{Lunacy}} moon-based moves]], such as Moonlight and Moonblast, and cute moves that invoke this trope, such as Charm, Sweet Kiss, [[CareBearStare Baby-Doll Eyes]] and Disarming Voice.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': the Elements of Harmony are possibly a slight subversion. Even though the beam they unleash is rainbow-colored, it always manages to be awesome. In the Season 1 premiere it swirls around the villain like a tornado, and the Season 2 premiere has it [[http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/179/404/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-brony-hater-gonna-hate-but-bronies-never-feel-it.gif splitting in two]] as it unleashes a WorldHealingWave. Not to mention Twilight Sparkle's almost sinister [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing eyes]] as she uses them - it's the illustration of the show's [[Awesome/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Awesome Moments]] page for good reason.
** There's also the Sonic Rainboom, equally rainbowy and [[http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/187/790/1318688769860.gif equally awesome]].

* Koishi Komeiji of ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' uses a lot of hearts and [[SomethingAboutARose roses]] bullets in her attacks. However, because if her heavy [[AllPsychologyIsFreudian psychologocal theme]] and her own [[EmptyShell state of mind]], they can [[SubvertedTrope turn out to be more uncanny than cute]].

** There's also the Sonic Rainboom, equally rainbowy and equally awesome. Any semblance of girlyness goes completely out the window when [[FantasticNuke it's used as]] [[http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/187/790/1318688769860.gif a fricking nuclear weapon]].

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has the 'Rainbowdash special', aka the SONIC RAINBOOOOM!

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' [[spoiler:Orihime Inoue]]'s attacks with fairies made from her hairpins. Granted, her offensive fairy is a bit of a badass for a fairy and her potential abilities are among the greatest in the work, but on paper it's an exceedingly feminine ability.

Some powers are cool, some are awesome, some are lame, some are strange........and some powers are made of pink faeries and glitter! This is a trope for any power that can be described as very, very, girly. Such as:

* Rainbow Beams: often associated with AllYourColorsCombined. And they not to look [[TastesLikeDiabetes diabetes inducing]] in SuperSentai[=/=]PowerRangers.

* Rainbow Beams

* One ''WebComic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'' comic has a little girl guarding Fort Knox who has the ability to make puppies appear. Which she uses to [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower deadly effect]]. Because she never specified ''where'' the puppies will appear from. [[spoiler:Such as from ''inside'' the villain.]]

* Jason and the Argonauts needed to sail past the sirens, a kind of mermaids called naiads that could sing songs so entrancing that sailors would abandon their boats, plunge into the sea and drown. Jason had his crew plug their ears with beeswax to render them deaf, while Jason himself was lashed to the mainmast, able to hear the sirens' song, but unable to pursue it.
