4	According to female stereotypes, there are two known facts about tomboys and girly girls. Tomboys are mean, rude, aggressive, and violent, while girly girls are kind, polite, gentle, and passive. Right? Well, often the opposite is true. In some cases, tomboys are nice, while girly girls are mean.
5
6	The Tender Tomboyishness, Foul Femininity trope is about NiceGirl {{Tomboy}}s, and JerkAss {{Girly Girl}}s.
7
8	This trope is quite common in stories set in high school where the AlphaBitch is very feminine while the main heroine is very likely to be tomboyish to some degree. It also can be found in ActionGirl-centric media with female villains, where the heroine is a noble, tomboyish warrior, and the villain is a feminine [[TheBaroness baroness]].

12	!!Examples:
13	[[foldercontrol]]
14
15	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
16	* ''Anime/AshitaNoNadja'': Nadja is a outspoken PluckyGirl who [[OutdoorsyGal loves climbing trees]] and has a sweet and sensitive personality, while Rosemary is [[ShrinkingViolet shy]], [[VanityIsFeminine a bit vain]], always dreamt of becoming a princess and [[BitchInSheepsClothing hides a manipulative and ruthless mind beneath her meek personality]].
17	* ''Anime/CandyCandy'': Candy is a nice and compassionate tomboy, while Eliza is a mean and girly RichBitch. It's no wonder that almost every boy Eliza falls for ends up pining for Candy instead.
18	* ''Manga/CaseClosed'': Ran is a karate champion, and very patient and kind. Her friend Sonoko is a rich, boy-crazy ValleyGirl, and is far harsher and more shallow than Ran.
19	* ''Anime/Charlotte1977'': Charlotte is a tomboy and a kind FriendToAllLivingThings. Marie, on the other hand, is a girly RichBitch [[spoiler:who wishes to buy the Montburn farm, ''only to burn it'' all out of spite for Charlotte.]]
20	* ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'': Ushio is a young tomboy who plays baseball and with boy's toys and is also an [[CheerfulChild outgoing]] NiceGirl. Her best friend Fuko, who is [[IntergenerationalFriendship considerably older]], is more feminine, adores starfish, and is also [[BrattyHalfPint rather brash and immature]].
21	* ''Anime/HanaNoKoLunlun'': Main heroine [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold Lunlun]] is a spunky and adventurous tomboy with a heart of gold, while her rival Togenishia is a hot-tempered, lazy and arrogant VainSorceress.
22	* ''Manga/HimechansRibbon'': Deconstructed and zig-zagged in the series. The main heroine Himeko is the typical tomboy (sporty, feisty, BoyishShortHair) and clearly a good-hearted girl, while Hikaru Hibino is a vain AlphaBitch who insults Himeko for being too masculine. However, the other girly girls who serve as foils to Himeko (Himeko's magic counterpart [[PrincessClassic Erika]], or Himeko's sister [[YamatoNadeshiko Aiko]]) are sweet girls and positive characters, and especially Aiko is seen as a a role model by Himeko who would like to be more feminine like her. In fact, Hibino may be the only negative example of GirlyGirl in the story.
23	* ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'': Downplayed with Touko and Rika. They are both sporty girls, but Rika is generally more interested in feminine activities like cooking, fashion, and cute guys compared to Touko (despite ironically being a richer girl). Touko is more level-headed and tends to get along well with everyone on the team, although she's not above annoying Aki and Natsumi by intentionally getting close to Endou. While Rika is not a complete meanie, she has some selfish moments, such as tricking Ichinose into marrying her (which ultimately doesn't happen) or pulling a PushedAtTheMonster on Touko and Haruna.
24	* ''Anime/KillLaKill'': The heroine Ryuko Matoi is a tough {{Japanese Delinquent\|s}} with a soft spot for Mako, Senketsu, and Mako's family. Nui Harime, on the other hand, is by far the girliest character in the series, the more villainous of the true BigBad's CoDragons, and gleefully gloats about [[spoiler:killing Ryuko's father once she meets Ryuko for the first time.]]
25	* ''Manga/{{Lady}}'': Every AlphaBitch Lynn meets (Sophie, Mary, Vivian) is always hyperfeminine and place great importance on their appearance, desirability to men and popularity. Donwplayed with Lynn - while she is girly herself, she enjoys "boyish" actions such as riding horses and wild sports.
26	* ''Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia'': Among the main trio, the outgoing Akko is a tomboy in personality, and the bookish introvert Lotte can be considered a tomboy in looks. The former is an AllLovingHero, while the latter is [[NiceGirl a gentle soul]]. Their friend, Sucy, on the other hand, is pretty feminine in looks... and [[TheGadfly really, really loves]] [[CreepyChild her poisons]]. It's to the point of HeroicComedicSociopath antics, in the anime.
27	* ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'': Hikaru is a boisterous tomboy who has a soft spot for animals (She has a dog back home, and is most gentle to Mokona). Umi, however, is a ProperLady who is ill-tempered, not to mention abusive to Mokona. Downplayed in a sense that ''both'' are heroines, Umi just had problems with her own short temper despite being girly and sometimes Mokona really doesn't help things by being vague or just pushing her straight to ButtMonkey territory.
28	* ''Manga/MiracleGirls'':
29	** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with the protagonist twin sisters, Toni and Mika, being them both nice and heroic girls, although [[PassionateSportsGirl sporty]], [[BoyishShortHair short-haired]] Toni is more patient and laid-back than [[CuteBookworm bookish]], [[LongHairIsFeminine long-haired]], [[PinkMeansFeminine pink-wearing]] Mika, who tends to be quite snippy and temperamental. Toni has her BerserkButton too, but she is generally friendlier than Mika.
30	** Likewise, Emma is a short-haired athlete and a NiceGirl like Toni, while her EvilTwin Marie is a long-haired SpoiledBrat princess with a VillainousCrush on Chris.
31	* ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'': Miss Kobayashi is a tomboyish computer programmer who drinks, wears androgynous clothing, and is very friendly and nurturing. Tohru, her perky maid, is frequently unpredictable and temperamental.
32	* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': Misato is a slovenly, hedonistic, headstrong tomboy who is also very motherly, supportive, and outgoing. Ritsuko, her more elegant colleague, is rather pessimistic and unscrupulous.
33	* ''Manga/{{Nichijou}}'': Among the BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine cast, there is a main trio. In it, the tomboy Yuko rarely messes with anyone on purpose, being a by-and-by nice GenkiGirl who's left to react to a lot of madcap antics (seen in how sweetly she reacts to an alleged love confession by a female friend, despite not being ready to hear it). Her feminine-looking and quiet friend Mai, on the other hand, takes being a HeroicComedicSociopath to the next level, ''especially'' [[TheGadfly around her]]...and likewise, their feminine-looking friend Mio ''will'' occasionally go all out pulling wrestler moves on 6 people and a goat just to avoid having to explain her...[[BoysLove very sexy artwork based on no one she's into IRL]].
34	* ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi'':
35	** Aiko has a somewhat explosive temperament but is generally portrayed as a sports-loving tomboy and a good girl with nothing but good intentions for both her divorced parents and her friends. While Onpu is presented as a very recognized and elegant singing girl but is also a spoiled and selfish girl who uses magic for her own benefit regardless of whom it affects, especially in the first season. Downplayed after Onpu's HeelFaceTurn, but she can be a bit cocky and rude sometimes.
36	** Doremi herself is a graceless BigEater who gets in trouble at school, rarely wears feminine clothes, and is not ladylike at all, but still a very good-natured and friendly girl. Her rival Reika Tamaki is a haughty, well-dressed, and narcissistic AcademicAlphaBitch who brags about being prettier, richer, and smarter than everyone else.
37	* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': [[TomboyAngst Despite an unwanted reputation as a tomboy]], Akane is quite feminine in appearance, but also has a violent temper. Meanwhile, Ukyo mostly wears men's clothing (and is visibly more androgynous than Akane in the manga), but is more kind, affectionate, and even-tempered. She also has [[ChildhoodFriend a friendly relationship with Ranma]], which gets him to call Ukyo "cute", unlike Akane. However, as Akane is the primary love interest, she is still a sympathetic character overall, and [[TookALevelInJerkass Ukyo becomes much more violent and scheming]] later in the manga, throwing this dynamic entirely out the window.
38	* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'':
39	** Downplayed for Juri Arisugawa and Shiori Takatsuki. Juri comes off tomboyish, dedicating a lot of her time and energy into fencing to the point she's captain of the team, and overall having a "cool" vibe. While she has an ugly side to her that appears at least once around Anthy, compared to Shiori -and as seen in their relationship- she's much more passive and emotionally vulnerable, and among the entire cast, she's one of the few with more redeeming qualities. Shiori on the other hand is very delicate and feminine, emotionally vicious against apparent friends and foes alike, and never holds back in a fight.
40	** Played with and deconstructed for Utena Tenjou and Anthy Himemiya. Taken at face value, Utena and Anthy are stereotypes of "tomboy and girly girl" -- rather tomboyish Utena fights in a knight-like way wanting to become a "prince," and the "princess-like" Anthy supports her with her Rose Bride magic. Utena, however, is [[BigGood always affable]] and [[PluckyGirl overall sweet]] around the [[ExtremeDoormat emotionally isolated]] Anthy, which over the course of the series is what helps develop their friendship into something more genuine. [[spoiler:As the series goes on, it becomes very apparent that there's [[JadeColoredGlasses more going on with]] Anthy BeneathTheMask, and at the same time, that Utena has a lot of hypocrisy she's not confronting. By the time they do confront those sides of each other, Utena's [[ItsAllAboutMe shown herself]], and [[TheDragon the witch]], Anthy, has stabbed her in the back. But Utena doesn't give up hope, regardless.]]
41	* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': Doubles as a RedGreenContrast. We have Makoto Kino, who was painted as a delinquent due to her frightening nature. Turns out that she is a NiceGirl who would love to make friends and had a tragic past due to being expelled and dealing with the passing of her parents. She is even the most patient and motherly of the inner senshi. Rei Hino is (or was) rude, vain, snooty, and snarky towards Usagi, even poking insults at her. Nonetheless, she still has a golden heart inside of her and went on better terms with her, too.
42	* ''Manga/TakopisOriginalSin'': Zig-zagged with Shizuka and Marina. Shizuka is unkempt and wears plain t-shirts and shorts, and initially is the victim of bullying by haughty, stylish Marina, who torments her with her GirlPosse. However, the timeline where [[spoiler:Marina dies]] has Shizuka slowly becomes more manipulative and unhinged, while the timeline where [[spoiler:Shizuka lives to attend high school]] puts the spotlight on Marina's own crappy home life. Both are portrayed sympathetically in addition to showing what would drive them to do their deeds, [[spoiler:and the FlashSideways from other timelines help them to end the story as friends.]]
43	* ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'':
44	** Benten is a tough trigger happy tomboy who is a genuinely loyal friend to Lum, while Ran is TheFakeCutie who dresses and acts very girly, and is also a FalseFriend who secretly hates Lum.
45	** In one chapter, the RaisedAsTheOppositeGender Ryuunosuke hangs out with Ran in order to become more feminine like her. Ryuunosuke is brash and short-tempered, but she's usually portrayed as more sympathetic than Ran. Ryuunosuke is a butch girl who would like to be more feminine, while Ran hides her manipulative nature behind her cutesy, girly appearance.
46	* ''Anime/VoltesV'': The TokenGirl of the [[FiveManBand Voltes Team]], [[BadassAdorable Megumi Oka]], is a {{Tomboy}}ish {{Ninja}}, who wants to follow her dad into being a great ninja. However, the sole female member of the Boazanian's Earth Invasion Force, Katherine Rii, dresses in a FairytaleWeddingDress, dislikes engaging in combat, and is frequently called beautiful by other characters. Megumi also reacts to Ippei's crush on her with {{Troll}}ing or annoyance, but Katherine has an [[EveryoneCanSeeIt obvious]] crush on [[ConqueringAlienPrince Prince]] [[TheDragon Heinel]].
47	[[/folder]]
48
49	[[folder:Comic Books]]
50	* ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'': Betty and Veronica were originally both girly, but by the 60s, GirlNextDoor Betty gets a TomboynessUpgrade and starts showing masculine skills, while Veronica remains a girly RichBitch.
51	* ''ComicBook/EmmaFrost'': Emma's sisters Adrienne and Cordelia qualify. Adrienne is the most feminine of the Frost sisters with her interest in fashion and beauty, and a manipulative sociopath who is willing to throw her own siblings under the bus to get their father's approval. Cordelia is a {{Goth}} with piercings, tattoos, and short hair, and while she does initially appear abrasive, she is the only one in the family who shows concern when Emma is held for ransom.
52	[[/folder]]
53
54	[[folder:Comic Strips]]
55	* ''ComicStrip/DennisTheMenaceUS'' does this with Gina Gilotti and Margaret Wade. Gina wears sneakers and jeans and plays sports with the boys, getting along fairly well with them. Margaret, on the other hand, wears a flouncy skirt and pushes a doll in a baby carriage. She also frequently gets into arguments with Dennis and is bossy toward him and Joey.
56	* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'': Peppermint Patty is a tomboyish PassionateSportsGirl who almost never wears dresses and is rather laid-back and friendly for the most part. Lucy often wears a blue dress, is more openly flirty and romantic, and does not get along with others whatsoever.
57	[[/folder]]
58
59	[[folder:Fan Works]]
60	[[AC:Crossovers]]
61	* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'':
62	** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Chloe Cerise is a GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak who loves softball and horror stories. Her bully, Sara Diktalyis is into feminine and girly stuff and constantly berates the former out of envy and spite while hiding the fact that she ''also'' was into nightmarish things.
63	** In a weird case, Chloe Cerise and Grace Monroe also fit this dynamic. Chloe is still her girly girl self compared to the short-haired, pants-wearing Grace but again the softball-playing, demon-summoning Chloe is the heroine while Grace is a den-mother to a murderous cult.
64
65	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/{{Luca}}'']]
66	* ''Fanfic/TheStoryOfApolloDaphneAndLucaAnItalianTragedy'': ZigZagged with [[FieryRedhead Giulia Marcovaldo]] and [[ThinksLikeARomanceNovel Rosa]]. Giulia is a headstrong and adventurous tomboy who, while loyal and cheerful, can also be quite brash and stubborn while feminine and soft-spoken Rosa, in spite of being a bit snippy, moody and InnocentlyInsensitive (especially regarding [[CelibateHeroine Giulia's]] lack of interest in dating and romance), is a sweet, caring and helpful girl.
67	* ''Fanfic/TooMuchTooMuch'': [[FieryRedhead Giulia]] and [[AdventurerArchaeologist Vallea]] have tomboyish personalities and are caring, kind and friendly, while the feminine and elegant Serafina is a snooty and mean-spirited AlphaBitch.
68
69	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'']]
70	* ''Fanfic/TotalDramaLegacy'': Storm and Emilia. Tomboyish PassionateSportsGirl Storm is kind, friendly, and fights fair, while girly ProudBeauty Emilia is mean, spiteful, and a CombatPragmatist.
71	[[/folder]]
72
73	[[folder:Film -- Animated]]
74	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Antz}}'': Azteca works as a digger and is a nice friend to her co-worker Z. Z's LoveInterest Bala is a rude and snobby princess... [[DefrostingIceQueen at first]].
75	* ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' downplays this trope with Audrey and Helga, respectively. While both are technically tomboys, Helga is the more feminine of the two, with Audrey being a tomboyish [[WrenchWench mechanic]] who is among the various explorers who turn against [[spoiler: Rourke]] and side with Milo after they learn about [[spoiler: Rourke's]] evil plan to destroy Atlantis, while Helga is the feminine [[TheDragon liutenant]] who remains loyal to [[spoiler: Rourke]] and is perfecty willing to help Rourke destroy Atlantis, [[spoiler: or at least until [[TheDogBitesBack Rourke]] [[LastBreathBullet betrays her.]]]]
76	* ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance'': Danny's LoveInterest, Sawyer, is a sarcastic but compassionate working girl with a HiddenHeartOfGold. Meanwhile, the movie's antagonist Darla Dimple is a cutesy SpoiledBrat with [[HateSink no redeeming values]] and a hatred of animals who wears lots of pink.
77	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'': Between Mirabel's two sisters, the buff, athletic Luisa is much kinder to her than the prim, feminine Isabela, who is more of a BigSisterBully. [[spoiler:{{Subverted\|Trope}}; as it turns out, the weight of expectations is very hard on both of them, and Luisa wishes to be more feminine, while Isabela is only lashing out because of the pressure and wants to be more tomboyish. By the end of the movie, both of them have achieved their goals of expressing their true selves, and they have a better relationship with each other and with Mirabel.]]
78	* ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'': Lilo Pelekai has some interest that aren't particularly feminine, such as [[NightmareFetishist zombies]], [[CreepyChild voodoo]], and [[FriendToBugs collecting bug]], which earns her the scorn of [[AlphaBitch Mertle Edmonds]], who prefers having tea parties, playing with Barbie-like dolls, and generally dislikes anyone and anything that she considers [[CloudCuckoolander "weird"]]. Despite this, Lilo is a NiceGirl that ends up redeeming and befriending the destructive alien Experiment 626 (now known as Stitch), and in the [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries tv series]], all the other alien experiments.
79	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyANewGeneration'': Downplayed with sisters Zipp Storm and Pipp Petals. When first introduced, Zipp is nicer to Sunny and Izzy while Pipp is more dismissive. Though once she gets to know them, Pipp follows her sister's example and befriends them.
80	* ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'': Rita, of Fagin's Gang, is a kind and street-smart LovableRogue who acts as a protector and mentor of Oliver. Georgette, on the other hand, is a very vain and selfish show dog who instantly berates Oliver when he comes into her life.
81	* Inverted, but downplayed with Tinkerbell and Wendy from ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan''. Tinkerbell is portrayed as a tomboyish fairy who acts mean towards Wendy out of jealousy, but is in fact, a JerkWithaHeartofGold, while Wendy is a feminine human girl who is kind-hearted and acts as a TeamMom to the Lost Boys.
82	* ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'' provides a gender-flipped example in [[SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan King Richard and Prince John]]. King Richard is a [[BruiserWithASoftCenter warrior king]] (he fought in the Crusades) and a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, while his brother Prince John is [[LeanAndMean skinny]], [[PsychopathicManchild whiny]], [[SissyVillain effeminate]] and a RoyalBrat.
83	* ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'': Vanellope is a tomboyish PassionateSportsGirl who, despite her faults, is pretty easygoing as long as you get to know her. By contrast, her rival Taffyta is a snobby, fashion-obsessed AlphaBitch who makes it her mission to undermine Vanellope by doing everything it takes to prevent her from competing in the races. [[spoiler:When the game is reprogrammed, however, Taffyta not only makes a HeelFaceTurn but also sincerely apologizes to Vanellope for mistreating her and accepts her friendship.]]
84	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'': The hero Judy Hopps is a feisty but kindhearted police officer who dresses rather masculinely when not in uniform and joins the police force in a genuine effort to make the world a better place. In contrast, [[spoiler: Assistant Mayor Bellwether, the movie's villain, dresses very femininely, and behaves with many feminine mannerisms, and [[FantasticRacism wants to keep the predator population under the thumb of the prey population]].]]
85	[[/folder]]
86
87	[[folder:Film -- Live-Action]]
88	* ''Film/{{Bumblebee}}'': Charlie is a [[TheLadette tomboyish]] WrenchWench who wears [[TankTopTomboy sleeveless band shirts]] and short shorts. She is also quite friendly and welcoming, developing a close friendship with both Bumblebee and Memo. Tina, on the other hand, is a stuck-up, condescending AlphaBitch who [[TheFashionista loves fashion]].
89	* ''Film/ACinderellaStory'': Sam is a NiceGirl heroine who likes baseball and wears a TomboyishBaseballCap. Her rival Shelby is the typical AlphaBitch [[CruelCheerleader cheerleader]].
90	* ''Film/DiaryOfAWimpyKid'': Inverted. Holly Hills is sweet, caring, and Greg's love interest. Meanwhile, Patty Farrell is aggressive, rude, and Greg's biggest enemy.
91	* Downplayed in ''Film/FredTheMovie''. Fred's goth friend Bertha is a little rough around the edges but proves to be a loyal and supportive friend throughout the movie. His girly crush Judy, meanwhile, is very polite, but notably [[UninvitedToTheParty didn't invite Fred to her house party]] and didn't make much of a protest when he got bullied out of it by Kevin.
92	* ''Film/It2017'': Beverly Marsh is a bold, adventurous girl with BoyishShortHair who is one of the main heroes. Her rival, Greta Keene, is a rude, snooty AlphaBitch.
93	* ''Film/JennifersBody'': The eponymous Jennifer Check is a shallow, vain, and sexually active {{Jerkass}} and becomes even worse after she is killed and resurrected as a demon. By contrast, her [[OddFriendship best friend]] Anita "[[MeaningfulName Needy]]" Lesnicki wears glasses and less feminine clothing, and is TheHero of the movie.
94	* ''Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle'': {{Subverted\|Trope}}. Nerdy, tomboyish Martha seems at first like the nicer, more approachable character compared to the girly, ditzy Bethany. During their time in the game, however, Martha's character flaws reveal her to be more judgmental and cynical, whereas Bethany turns out to be pretty nice and supportive. By the end, the girls wind up as best friends and help each other through their issues.
95	* ''Film/KickAss2'': {{Downplayed\|Trope}}. Though violent and trigger-happy, Mindy is [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold a decent person at heart]] and is one of the main heroes. Brooke, on the other hand, is a spiteful AlphaBitch with absolutely no redeeming qualities.
96	* ''Film/MeanGirls'': [[AlphaBitch Regina]] is the main antagonist of the movie and is defined by how obsessed she is with her looks. The two female characters who oppose her are Janice, who is a {{Goth}}, and Cady who starts out as comparatively less traditionally feminine than Regina. In fact, one of the signs that Cady is [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis becoming more like Regina]] is that she is dressing like Regina. In the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, it is stated that Regina joined the lacrosse team and has become a much better person as a result.
97	* ''Film/Scream4'': [[spoiler:The [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] {{ladette}} Kirby is a heroic character, while her more "traditionally" feminine best friend Jill is a serial killer.]]
98	* ''Film/SkyHigh2005'': Tomboyish GreenThumb Layla is one of the main heroes of the film, and is consistently nice throughout, even to Will's rival Warren. The AlphaBitch CruelCheerleader, however, bullies her and the other "Hero Support" students much like their other popular friends and even joins the villains at the end of the movie. [[spoiler:The film's BigBad, Gwen, spends most of the film being another popular girly girl, who puts on a BitchInSheepsClothing routine. She acts kind at first, but starts to show her true colors when she bullies Layla in a KickTheDog moment.]]
99	* ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'': Spoiled rich girl Veruca (who wears a dress) is the nastiest character in the film, while competitive gum chewer Violet (who wears pants) can be a rude BrattyHalfPint at times but she is not nearly as bad as [[TokenEvilTeammate Veruca]]. On the other hand, it's averted in the [[Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory 2005 adaptation]] where their TomboyAndGirlyGirl dynamic is even more evident, but the tomboyish Violet gets an AdaptationalJerkass and is just as malicious as Veruca, who is less openly aggressive than in the 1971 film.
100	[[/folder]]
101
102	[[folder:Literature]]
103	* Stan Kirby's children series, ''Captain Awesome'' has [[{{Tomboy}} Sally Williams]], a spunky second-grader who often wears shirts, jeans, and sneakers; is an avid fan of the [[WorkWithinAWork Super Dude franchise]]; and is very [[KindheartedCatLover affectionate to her pet cat]], Mr. Whiskersworth. Not to mention, she is very loyal to her best friends, [[MrImagination Eugene McGillicuddy]] and [[TokenMinority Charlie Thomas Jones]], and helps them fight "crime" as "superheroes". Meanwhile, the trio's [[SitcomArchNemesis main foe]], [[AlphaBitch Meredith Mooney]], is a typical GirlyGirl, who wears dresses, has her hair tied up with ribbons, and is ''obsessed'' with the color, [[PinkIsFeminine pink]]. However, Meredith is also the class [[TheBully bully]] who constantly name-calls her enemies and mocks them whenever she has the chance. She even ridiculed Sally for being a tomboy on her first day of school.
104	* ''Literature/DorkDiaries'': Nikki Maxwell is a tomboyish geek who tries to fit in, while [=MacKenzie=] Hollister is a mean RichBitch who always shuns her.
105	* ''Literature/HarryPotter'' has Professors Minerva [=McGonagall=] and Dolores Umbridge, respectively. The former is a SternTeacher who acts very strict towards her students but genuinely cares about them and is a kind person overall, while the latter acts very gentle and motherly [[BitchinSheepsClothing but is a cruel and remorseless woman]] who [[SadistTeacher personally hates her own students and constantly mistreats them in a very harsh manner.]]
106	* ''Literature/TheMcGurkOrganization'': Tomboyish, outdoorsy Organization member Wanda is contrasted with the more feminine Sandra Ennis, who regularly harasses the Organization and [[spoiler:tries on two occasions to humiliate them by perpetrating crimes, even trying to frame Wanda for stealing a valuable silver bowl at one point]].
107	* ''Literature/MrMen'': Little Miss Somersault and Little Miss Splendid are a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed example]] of this trope. Little Miss Somersault on the one hand is a fan of physical activity and is shown to be a kind and friendly person who uses her nimbleness to help out those in need while Little Miss Splendid, who is into fashion is a RichBitch and is prejudiced against "commoners" just like Mr. Snooty. The downplayed part comes in the fact that Little Miss Splendid is sometimes shown to have a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heart]].
108	* ''Literature/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'': Catarina is a single-person example. The original Catarina was a traditionally feminine aristocrat who mercilessly bullied her brother and Maria and was [[HateSink an all-around horrible person]]. Monkey Girl!Catarina on the other hand is the complete opposite, having the personality and memories of a rather dim tomboyish otaku and is so unfailingly kind to people that she is affectionately referred to as "Lady Saint" by her peers.
109	* ''Literature/PolissenaDelPorcello'': Girly Polissena grew up as a proper girl in a rich family and she fantasizes about being a princess. Her friend Lucrezia is far less ladylike: she grew up on the streets, loves adventures and spending time with her circus animals, and unlike Polissena, she despises royalty. Lucrezia is usually the mature and reasonable one whenever Polissena is being too bratty and selfish.
110	[[/folder]]

112	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
113	* ''Series/BrooklynNineNine:'' {{Downplayed}} with Rosa Diaz and Gina Linetti, respectively. Rosa, a tough BadassBiker and the resident badass of the squad, has a HairTriggerTemper and is hyperviolent, but her spiky exterior hides a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold big heart of gold,]] as she proves over and over again that she cares a lot about her friends and even frequently helps them out in her own way. Gina, the fashionable AlphaBitch who is obsessed with her looks, her phone, and dance, on the other hand, is constantly cruel to her coworkers, especially Amy and Boyle, and is self-obsessed to a narcissistic degree. She has the occasional kind moment, but they are few and far between.
114	* Of ''Series/TheCryOfMann'''s three main female characters, two of them are Berry and Agent Martinez, both heroic characters who lack traditionally feminine traits. Berry being a business-running geek and Agent Martinez a serious government agent. The third is Courtney, who acts as one of the primary antagonists for a few episodes, and is known for [[IJustWantToBeBeautiful becoming obsessed with her beauty]], wearing fancy dresses, and relying on manipulation and control far more than anything. [[spoiler:It's a bit zig-zagged toward the end when it's revealed that Courtney isn't just a spoiled WickedStepmother, but rather a mechanically-minded genius who invented the battle machines and made Tank fall in love with her for being so fiery and tough.]]
115	* ''Series/DoctorWho'': In the era of the Tenth Doctor, there are companions Martha Jones and Donna Noble. Martha is the more soft-spoken of the two, but she is a moderately tomboyish woman who mostly dresses in jeans and leather jackets who became a hardened medical soldier, while the more [[FieryRedhead verbally aggressive and loud]] Donna was seen wearing fancy elegant dresses and girly clothing far more often and spent a lot of her time with the Doctor visiting outer space spas.
116	* ''Series/DowntonAbbey'': Out of the Crawley Sisters, Sybil is the rebellious political activist who prefers to hang out in the garage with the chauffeur rather than attending fancy parties like her sisters. While [[TheBeautifulElite Mary]] and [[LookingForLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces Edith]] have a spiteful rivalry with each other, Sybil is by far the kindest of the three (being also NiceToTheWaiter) and is adored by everyone in the family.
117	* ''Series/FateTheWinxSaga'': In this version, PassionateSportsGirl Aisha is the closest friend to the protagonist Bloom, while fashionista Stella is the most hostile towards her. This is due to AdaptationalJerkass since in the [[WesternAnimation/WinxClub cartoon version]], GirlyGirl Stella was actually Bloom's closest friend since the beginning.
118	* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': This is the dynamic of Jaime Lannister's two love interests. In the love triangle, unfeminine BrawnHilda Brienne is a heroic character and Jaime's MoralityPet, while elegant and refined Cersei is a villain and a bad influence on Jaime.
119	* ''Series/HannahMontana'': Lilly is a sporty tomboy and a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who is Miley's best friend. Amber and Ashley are bitchy school divas who hate Miley.
120	* ''Series/LifeWithDerek'': Downplayed with Casey and Lizzie. GirlyGirl Casey is not a bad person, but can often be [[ThePerfectionist controlling]], selfish, and an InsufferableGenius. Her sister Lizzie is a PassionateSportsGirl who has no interest in girlish things (unlike Casey) and is also more patient and level-headed.
121	* ''Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'': Moze is a tomboyish [[PassionateSportsGirl volleyball captain]] who loves wood-shop and hates wearing skirts and dresses, whereas Missy is a cheerleader captain who's always seen in stereotypically girly clothes. [[ZigzaggedTrope That said]], Moze is frequently [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]], competitive, stubborn, [[HairTriggerTemper short-tempered]] and even physically aggressive to those who piss her off on occasion. But despite her flaws, she's also an [[AcademicAthlete intelligent,]] [[GoGetterGirl driven,]] [[NiceGirl selfless and compassionate person]] and [[UndyingLoyalty a very good friend]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold under her tough-girl exterior]]. By contrast, Missy [[LazyBum gets other people to do her schoolwork for her,]] [[FauxAffablyEvil is superficially cheerful and peppy, but that only thinly masks her true less-than-savory colors]], [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk claims to be "helping" people by insulting them right to their faces]] and recruiting them into a club on how to be popular which entails them to be [[SycophanticServant yes-men and butt-kissers for the popular kids.]] Also, whereas Moze [[TookALevelInKindness scaled back her aggression and temper]] ([[FriendlyEnemy and even befriended her longtime rival Suzie Crabgrass]]) overtime, Missy never made amends for her [[TookALevelInJerkAss cattiness, jealousy, and self-centeredness, which only worsened as the series progressed]].
122	* ''Series/NeverHaveIEver'':
123	** Of Devi's two best friends, Eleanor is an aspiring actress who wears colorful dresses and jewelry, while Fabiola is a ButchLesbian who likes robotics and dresses like "the janitor's nephew". While both are well-meaning, Eleanor is occasionally irrational when she gets mad at other people, while Fabiola is the nicest in the man trio.
124	** Devi herself has this dynamic with Aneesa, another Indian girl. Devi is a bookish, [[AthleticallyChallenged unathletic]], boy-crazy girl who can play the harp, and is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who is often selfish and abrasive. Aneesa is a PassionateSportsGirl who has short hair, wears sporty clothes, and is a friendly and likable LovableJock. Because of this, Aneesa is much more popular than Devi, and while Devi is the one more obsessed with popularity of the two, she often tries too hard.
125	* Series/PunkyBrewster is a tomboy with a heart of gold (despite what mischief she commits) while Margaux Kramer is the girly-girl AlphaBitch, calling all the other kids "peasants."
126	* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': The two female interns introduced in season 8 are blunt, mannish {{Ladette}} Denise and cutesy, girly, and seemingly nice (but devious) Katie, who are even nicknamed [[Series/TheFactsOfLife "Jo and Blair"]] by JD, as a reference to another TomboyAndGirlyGirl duo. Over the season, Denise turns out to be a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who befriends the main cast, while Katie remains a two-faced ManipulativeBitch who is quickly PutOnABus.
127	* ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'':
128	** Physically adept AcademicAthlete Bailey is very friendly, while rich fashionista London acts like a SpoiledBrat.
129	** {{Downplayed}} with Bailey and Maddie, respectively. Both are generally nice girls, especially compared to their {{foil}} London, and Bailey isn't overtly masculine. But Bailey is more tomboyish than Maddie, while Maddie is a straight-up GirlyGirl, and Maddie is snarkier, bossy, and has a mean streak and a short temper while Bailey is more consistently sweet and even-tempered.
130	* ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'': Raven is TheFashionista who can be snarky, bratty, and selfish at times (but still a JerkWithAHeartOfGold). Her friend Chelsea is an OutdoorsyGal who likes camping and is generally a ditzy but caring FriendToAllLivingThings who is less materialistic than Raven.
131	* ''Series/That70sShow'': Tomboy Donna is laid back enough to be OneOfTheBoys and is close to Eric, while Jackie is a rich, self-absorbed ProudBeauty who looks down on both Donna and Eric.
132	* ''Series/TeenWolf'': Allison is a NiceGirl who has combat training and is skilled in gymnastics and archery, while Lydia is a vain and snobby AcademicAlphaBitch.
133	* ''Series/NCISLosAngeles'': As the series progresses, this ends up being the case for Kensi and Joelle. Kensi is a more laid back [[TheLadette ladette]] who has a more soft and kinder side and longs for normalcy with Deeks while Joelle, Callen's ex-girlfriend, is more of a [[NothingNiceAboutSugarAndSpice dark feminine]] who is manipulative and filled with bloodlust and vengeance against the villain, Katya.
134	* ''Series/WillAndGrace'':
135	** Grace is a slovenly, unladylike BigEater, in contrast to her assistant Karen, a stylish, gold-digging LadyDrunk socialite. While Grace is also a very flawed character, she's a more approachable person than Karen and cares about her interior design career. Most of her interactions have Karen refusing to work and insulting Grace's clothes and appearance.
136	** The show also has a gender-flipped example with Will and Jack. [[StraightGay Will]] is more stoic and masculine, while [[CampGay Jack]] is overemotional and flamboyant. Although Will mocks Jack for being InTouchWithHisFeminineSide, he's generally far more likable and reasonable than Jack, who is portrayed as a shallow, petty, and selfish {{Narcissist}}.
137	[[/folder]]
138
139	[[folder:Music]]
140	* Music/AvrilLavigne's "[=Sk8r Boi=]" touches upon it. The singer mentions that the "punk" male lead had a crush on a feminine and ballet-loving girl, but while she liked him would never admit it to herself and never gave him the time of day until he became a celebrity. Meanwhile, the singer is another girl who's into punk and band things, and her relationship with the boy is much more successful.
141	[[/folder]]
142
143	[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]

146	[[/folder]]
147
148	[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
149	* Franchise/TheMuppets have two major female characters: Janice and Miss Piggy. The latter is a hopeless romantic, and a hot-tempered diva who wears dresses and jewelry, and has no problem with harming people who piss her off. The former, meanwhile, is lead guitarist for the Electric Mayhem, a relaxed and friendly lady who also wears jewelry (though never as much as Piggy) and a [[TankTopTomboy tank top]], and doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
150	* ''Series/SesameStreet'': Muppeteer Fran Brill had two main characters, Zoe and Prairie Dawn. The latter is a small, pink Anything Muppet girl who can be rather bossy and very melodramatic, and is usually the [[OnlySaneWoman straight girl]] to characters like Cookie Monster or Grover. The former, on the other hand, is a young monster who is always laughing and playing and is more likely to join Cookie and Grover in silly antics.
151	[[/folder]]
152
153	[[folder:Video Games]]
154	* Downplayed in the ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' series. The {{Deuteragonist}}, Kazooie is a [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] [[TheLadette Ladette]] who has a poor view of others but is ultimately still one of the good guys. Meanwhile, the series' antagonist, Gruntilda, is a [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] [[ThePigpen Pigpen]] who longs to be beautiful by sucking [[InformedAttractiveness the beauty out of Banjo's sister, Tootie]].
155	* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'': Claire Redfield is a [[BadassBiker motorcycle-riding]] {{tomboy}} who generally dresses in shirts, jeans, and leather jackets. She also has a soft, maternal side that makes her extremely protective of children, and is overall a nice person until someone gives her a reason not to be. Ada Wong, meanwhile, is more girly in appearance, wearing dresses, high heels, and obvious makeup. She is also a FemmeFatale who is cold and standoffish to those around her, and has much more combat training than Claire.
156	* ''VideoGame/RiverCityGirls'': Misako and Kyoko are brash, fight-happy [[AntiHero Anti-Heroes]] out to rescue their boyfriends, and they've received a TomboynessUpgrade since their previous outing in ''VideoGame/RiverCityGirlsZero''. Their rivals are Hasebe and Mami, who [[AdaptationalJerkass in this universe]] are preppier, girlier, and bitchier than the two and served as their childhood bullies. [[spoiler:Subverted in the original ending, where Misako and Kyoko are [[PsychoExGirlfriend Psycho Ex-Girlfriends]] to Kunio and Riki, making both sets of rivals no better than each other.]]
157	* In the ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' series, Arle Nadja is an ActionGirl who is averse to acting like a proper lady but is willing to do anything to save the day. Her rival Rulue, while she does [[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak beat others up if she feels the need]], is an {{ojou}} who is hopelessly in love with [[{{Satan}} the Dark Prince]].
158	[[/folder]]
159
160	[[folder:Web Animation]]
161	* ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland'': Match and Pencil are best friends, but Match is shown to be a selfish ValleyGirl, and Pencil, while not without her mean moments, is more caring and thoughtful as TheLeader.
162	* ''WebAnimation/CampCamp'': Nikki and the Flower Scouts have this dynamic. Nikki is a nature-loving (read: practically feral) tomboy and the nicest member of the main trio, while the Flower Scouts are a troop of girls who aspire to be [[ProperLady proper ladies]], but also [[AlphaBitch ran Nikki out of the group for being]] too boyish. In one episode, the Flower Scouts became brutal drug kingpins who horrified the Mexican Drug Cartels.
163	[[/folder]]
164
165	[[folder:Web Comics]]
166	* ''Webcomic/JacksonsDiary'': Pamela Lopez is a tough and snarky goth girl with a kind heart and a strong sense of loyalty, while the three unnamed popular girls who used to be Brenda's friends are catty and mean-spirited [[AlphaBitch Alpha Bitches]] who are into fashion and beauty.

Hayley has a LimitedWardrobe of [[TankTopTomboy a black tank top]] and jeans and is rebellious and headstrong. Francine is a cheerful homemaker who dresses up. While Hayley often tries to do the right thing and is sympathetic, she can also be conceited, petty, and even violent at times. While Francine can be friendly and nurturing, she has also engaged in dubious behavior and exhibited signs of AxCrazy behavior.
174	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': Anne Boonchuy's friends who got teleported to Amphibia along with her. Marcy Wu is a kind-hearted GamerChick and is [[TheKlutz always getting into mishaps]]; Sasha Waybright, on the other hand, is an AlphaBitch [[ToxicFriendInfluence who's always controlling and wants everything done the way she wants]], and Sasha's [[spoiler:CharacterDevelopment into a better person is paralleled by becoming ''more'' of a tomboy in personality and outfit.]] Subverted when [[spoiler:it turns out Marcy manipulated them and is the reason they were all sent to Amphibia to begin with]].
175	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': Sue Ellen is a martial arts and world cultural NiceGirl to Muffy's occasional RichBitch attitude. The show also has an inversion with ShrinkingViolet Fern and occasional JerkJock Francine.
176	* ''WesternAnimation/AtomicBetty'': Betty is a NiceGirl and also an action-y LittleMissBadass who likes sports and comics. Penelope is a snobby SpoiledBrat who likes shopping and mocks Betty's tomboyish nature.
177	* ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'': Lola is a tomboy who likes basketball, and is usually friendly and mature, although with some NotSoAboveItAll moments. Melissa is into girly things like tea parties, and can be a BrattyHalfPint more often than Lola.
178	* ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'': {{Downplayed\|Trope}} and ZigZagged with Uniqua and Tasha. While they are both generally nice girls, Tasha, who usually plays the more feminine roles, is bit more bossier than [[GenkiGirl Uniqua]], who usually plays the gender-neutral roles. That said, [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak their]] [[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak roles]] [[DependingOnTheWriter do switch up every now and then]].
179	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'': Lydia is a {{Goth}} girl who is very friendly to others. This is in contrast to her rival, Claire, who is a ValleyGirl that likes to scold Lydia.
180	* ''WesternAnimation/BeverlyHillsTeens'': While a lot of girls are obviously filthy rich, many of the nicer ones like Larke, Blaze, Nikki, and Shanelle, happen to carry tons of possibly masculine qualities. Whereas Bianca is second only to [[SouthernBelle Tara]] in terms of being a ProperLady but second to nobody in terms of being a {{Jerkass}}.
181	* ''WesternAnimation/CampLakebottom'': Gretchen is the tomboyish perky goth to Suzi's bossy and girly personality.
182	* ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'': UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc is a DoggedNiceGirl DeadpanSnarker {{Goth}} who enjoys basketball, and doesn't have much interest in traditionally feminine things like makeovers, while UsefulNotes/{{Cleopatra\|VII}} is an {{alpha bitch}}y {{Jerkass}} with an ItsAllAboutMe attitude.
183	* ''WesternAnimation/TheCrampTwins'': Among the two prominent female characters, Mari Phelps, who isn't particularly girly and dislikes dresses, is one of the few nice characters and one of Lucien's only friends. By contrast, Wendy Winkle is an overly feminine RichBitch who is obsessed with plushies and the colour pink and has [[StalkerWithACrush stalkerish tendencies]] towards Wayne.
184	* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': Sam Manson is much nicer to Danny and Tucker than Valerie, Paulina, and Star despite the fact she's a tomboy.
185	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' has two {{Deuteragonist}}s who are prominent foils to the main character. Jane is an edgy {{Goth}} who is very close to Daria, while Quinn is a bratty fashionista who actively avoids Daria, despite being her sister.

187	* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': [[ZigzaggingTrope Zigzagged]] with Lois and Meg. Lois has a LimitedWardrobe of a green shirt and brown pants while her daughter, Meg, wears [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] and has a girly room. While Lois is the OnlySaneWoman of the family, she's also an AbusiveParent with a [[FieryRedhead fiery temper]]. Meg, despite being one of the nicer characters on the show, has also displayed rage issues and violent {{Yandere}} tendencies.
188	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Zig-zagged. Leela is quite the tomboy and is a compassionate AnimalLover and FriendToAllChildren, while girly Amy is more superficial and spoiled. On the other hand, Amy is friendly and naive most of the time (she can easily qualify as SpoiledSweet), while Leela loves violence and can be aggressive (it's even her FatalFlaw in one of the movies).
189	* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': {{Downplayed\|Trope}} with Mabel Pines and Wendy Corduroy. Mabel isn't so much mean as she is occasionally selfish and thoughtless. Still, she is a girly girl, and a distinct contrast to Wendy, the show's GoodBadGirl. Mabel also provides the Tender Tomboyishness to Pacifica Northwest's Foul Femininity.
190	* ''WesternAnimation/GrojBand'': Laney is the protagonist's tomboyish sidekick, while Trina is his feminine yet evil older sister.
191	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Grossology}}'': Abby is a heroic ActionGirl and lover of gross things, while her school rival Paige is a fashionable, pink-loving AlphaBitch.

193	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Horseland}}'' gives us the trio of rich girls Sarah Whitney and Zoey and Chloe Stilton. Unlike the latter two who are {{Lovable Alpha Bitch}}es, the former dresses more classic and tomboyish and prefers friends over money.
194	* ''WesternAnimation/IHeartArlo'': Alia is the tomboyish tiger girl who's tough with a soft side, while Furlecia is the feminine furball who's aloof and flamboyant.
195	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': Kaeloo is a happy-go-lucky NiceGirl who is a FriendToAllLivingThings and enjoys [[OutdoorsyGal being outdoors]], whereas her arch-nemesis, Pretty, is an AlphaBitch who cannot control herself.

Bonnie is an AlphaBitch who wears more feminine clothes and has no interest in sports other than cheerleading and dancing.
197	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'': Kiara is a tomboy and is generally pleasant, while her friends Zuri and Tifu are more girly and snobbish.
198	* ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'': Pepper Clark is a tomboyish skunk who's goofy and an aspiring comedian, while Zoe Trent is a vain dog who constantly steals the spotlight.
199	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'': Tomboy Tina is well-adjusted and very patient with her boyfriend, while girly Lola is an obnoxious CuteAndPsycho stalker. However, Lola means well despite her insanity and eventually stops being a stalker, becoming more of a LoonWithAHeartOfGold.
200	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'':
201	** Among the Loud sisters, Luna (the third eldest) is an aspiring rockstar NiceGirl, and Lana (the fourth-youngest) is a kindly WrenchWench who enjoys FilthyFun. Meanwhile, Lori (the eldest) is a bossy BrattyTeenageDaughter (although later grows out of it) who enjoys teen magazines and nail polish, and Lola (Lana's {{Polar Opposite Twin\|s}}) is an aspiring pageant queen and a BrattyHalfPint.
202	** The sisters also have an inversion with Leni and Lynn. Leni is a major fashionista and aspiring fashion designer who makes a lot of her own clothing, but she's also one of the kindest ''Loud House'' characters ([[KindHeartedSimpleton albeit slow on the uptake most of the time]]). Lynn, on the other hand, is a JerkJock whose moments of kindness tend to be few and far in between.
203	* ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus'': Dorothy Ann Hudson and Keesha Franklin. Dorothy Ann is a bookworm and closeted baseball lover who can be quite gregarious when she isn't being CaptainObvious. Keesha is of the more fashionable sort and attends an afterschool ballet class, and [[DeadpanSnarker she's got quite the sarcastic streak]].
204	* ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB'': The protagonist, Bessie is a dorky and somewhat masculine girl who's kind. In contrast, Portia and Gwen, the two bullies on the show are prettier and more feminine.
205	* ''WesternAnimation/MikeLuAndOg'': Mike is a nice girl with a TomboyishName and her main interest is a superhero known as Action Guy, while Lu is a SpoiledBrat who is all about being a princess.
206	* ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984'': Skeeter, Scooter's twin sister was created as a tomboy counterpart to a younger version of Miss Piggy. Although Skeeter is athletic and Piggy likes pink, lace, make-up, and tea parties, Skeeter is rather nice while Piggy is super strong, super bossy, and super un-ladylike.
207	* ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies2018'': The show sees a younger version of Miss Piggy and new character Summer Penguin. Piggy is a temperamental diva who wants to make everything "Fabulous", while Summer is a kind and caring artist who enjoys superheroes and detective stories.
208	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicApplejack Applejack]] is a hard-working farm girl who is always willing to help, while [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicRarity Rarity]] is vain and quite self-centered.
209	* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': [[Characters/TheOwlHouseLuzNoceda Luz Noceda]] is a tomboyish fantasy nerd with BoyishShortHair and is an AllLovingHeroine. [[Characters/TheOwlHouseAmityBlight Amity Blight]] is an AcademicAlphaBitch who picks on those who are less powerful than her. However, not only does Amity [[DefrostingIceQueen get better]], but [[RelationshipUpgrade they end up together]].
210	* ''WesternAnimation/PinkyElmyraAndTheBrain'': Elmyra Duff is a loud and boisterous GenkiGirl with a sweet, bubbly and kind personality, while Vanity White is a snooty, self-centered and manipulative AlphaBitch.
211	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'': {{Downplayed\|Trope}} but present. Buttercup is the most tomboyish member of the cast, and while she can be selfish and impulsive, she is nonetheless [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold a protector of Townsville and her sisters]]. Princess Morbucks is one of the more feminine characters as well as a [[SpoiledBrat spoiled]], [[{{Greed}} greedy]] [[EnfantTerrible villain]] in Townsville with absolutely no redeeming qualities.
212	* ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'': Downplayed and zig-zagged. Dijonay Jones is a tomboyish and party-loving SassyBlackWoman, while [=LaCienega=] Boulevardez is a feminine RichBitch who often wants things done her way. However, Dijonay is often a thoughtless, bratty, and ill-tempered ToxicFriendInfluence for Penny, while [=LaCienega=] [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosts]] over time. DependingOnTheWriter, though, even after [=LaCienega=] defrosts, both can lead Penny into quite a mess or fly off when she needs them most, as her friend group exemplifies WithFriendsLikeThese quite well.
213	* ''WesternAnimation/PuppyDogPals'': Hissy is a purple cat who's Bingo and Rolly's housemate who's often ill-tempered but nevertheless on good terms with them, while Cupcake is a pink dog who's mean and snobbish, and frequently picks on them.
214	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'':
215	** Susie Carmichael and Angelica Pickles. Susie is very athletic and is nice to the babies, while Angelica loves playing with dolls and dressing up but is mean to the babies.
216	** Betty [=DeVille=] and Charlotte Pickles. Betty is a [[TheLadette Lad-ette]] who is very outgoing and motherly, while Charlotte is a ProperLady who can be rather snobbish and arrogant.
217	* ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'': Sofia is the kindhearted heroine who was originally a commoner before being inducted into royalty, while her stepsister Amber is royalty by birth but is vain and hot-headed.
218	* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' has [[StrawFeminist Wendy]] and [[LovableAlphaBitch Bebe]]. Wendy is a head-strong StrawFeminist who -- as episodes like "Breast Cancer Show Ever" demonstrate -- [[CuteBruiser is strong enough to beat up others]], and while she can be a bit temperamental at times, she's usually friendly, sympathetic towards others, and is often more than happy to help out Stan and his friends whenever they encounter a problem. By contrast, Bebe is a GirlyGirl who loves [[AllWomenLoveShoes shoes]], is a cheerleader, and is seen wearing make-up in one episode. While she isn't exactly mean, she is also shown to be the most shallow of the girls with episodes like "The List" and "Lice Capades" being good examples of her shallowness. Despite this though, several episodes show that [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold she will do the right thing and is not heartless]].
219	* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'': Sandy Cheeks is a karate-chopping techno whiz and one of the nicest characters in the show, and Pearl is a BrattyTeenageDaughter who enjoys shopping and slumber parties. Mrs. Puff is in the middle, being a kind-hearted teacher to everyone, but having a major disliking towards Spongebob to the point of trying to murder him at one point.
220	* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]] all over the place with the all-female race of Gems:
221	** Many villainous Gems, such as Yellow Diamond and Holly Blue Agate, present very feminine, while more sympathetic Gems like Topaz and Bismuth are more muscular and masculine.
222	** The Rubies are {{Mooks}} for Homeworld and are aggressive and tomboyish, but are more ChaoticStupid than outright malevolent.
223	** Peridot is more boyish than her friend Lapis Lazuli, who can be cold and aloof, but both are heroic characters.
224	** Among the main cast, Garnet and Amethyst are more masculine in their dress and behavior than Pearl, and have an easier time dealing with Earth while the feminine Pearl can be domineering. They all still get along though.
225	* Inverted in ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'' where the tomboy Cassandra [[spoiler: ultimately betrays the feminine Rapunzel and becomes the ArcVillain of Season 3]], while Rapunzel remains a protagonist throughout.
226	* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'': Downplayed with Mary Melody and Elmyra Duff. Mary wears sneakers and jeans, is into rollerblading and skateboarding, and is kind to the other toons. Elmyra wears a dress and is into dolls, tea parties, and cute things like animals, and while she generally means no harm to the animals she chases, she is viewed as TheDreaded by them, as her treatment of any animal she catches [[AndCallHimGeorge seriously harms them]], and in some cases [[ChronicPetKiller even kills them]].
227	* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'':
228	** In the first season, we have PerkyGoth Gwen, and AcademicAlphaBitch, [[Characters/TotalDramaCourtney Courtney]]. Gwen, though a snarky loner, at the start, [[TookALevelInKindness becomes a very nice and considerate person by the end of the first season]]. Meanwhile, Courtney was a prissy overachiever who started out haughty and overly competitive, [[TookALevelInJerkass and became outright vindictive and mean as the series went on]]. Also from the first season, Gwen's rival, Heather, loves makeovers and tanning and is a complete AlphaBitch.
229	** Inverted in the fourth season. Jo is a tomboyish DrillSergeantNasty who takes pleasure in demeaning and mocking the other competitors, especially Brick, Cameron, and Lightning. Anne Maria, despite being feminine, obsessed with her looks, and snarky, tends to be much nicer and is able to compliment Cameron.
230	** From the sixth season, both Jasmine and Sky are athletically inclined, with Jasmine being an Outback Survivalist and Sky being an aspiring gymnast, and are both some of the nicest contestants of their season. By contrast, main villain Sugar is a pageant queen and is also rude, a complete slob, and willing to win by any means necessary and CruelCheerleader Amy spends all of her time abusively bullying her twin sister Samey.
231	** From the first season of the reboot, we have Axel and Scary Girl. Axel is a survivalist who is not above roasting animals to survive, but she does want to protect people from zombies and she does take a level in kindness in the second season. Scary Girl, on the other hand, is a creepy goth who wants to see people get injured or killed and reveals in the second season that she's been stalking everybody without them knowing.
232	* ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'': Of the three main characters, Alex is the most athletic/tomboyish and the nicest, while Clover is the girliest and the most selfish (though still a LovableAlphaBitch).
233	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Trollz}}'': Out of the BFFL, Sapphire is the tomboyish bookworm who has a big heart, while Ruby is the feminine leader of the girls who's always bossy and hot-headed. However, their TomboyAndGirlyGirl roles are zig-zagged, as Sapphire is a ShyBlueHairedGirl who wears a pink skirt, a pink hair bow, and pink shoes with blue flowers on top, while Ruby is a feisty {{Tsundere}} who has SpikyHair, wears jeans and sneakers, and her favorite color is [[RedIsViolent red]].
234	* ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'': Irma and Cornelia are on opposite ends of the Tomboy-Feminine spectrum. Irma is tomboyish and is the most friendly to Will when they first meet her while Cornelia is the most hostile, even going as far as blaming Will when Caleb gets captured by [[TheDragon Cedric]]. That said Cornelia is at worst, a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
