Cassandra is a Tomboy with a Girly Streak, however, owing to her love of romantic literature and gestures.
KAILYN TEEN MODEL NUDE LOWRY SERIES
Skyhold Academy Yearbook: Bethany is The Fashionista, having a college degree in fashion design and manufacture, and many of her activities throughout the series fall in line with her love of pretty clothes.Kyoshi Rising: Mei eagerly dresses up for special occasions and acts like a proper lady, while her sister Kyoshi is an Earthbender who has a serious aversion to being dressed up and would much rather stay at home and work on the farm.When you post an example, be sure to explain how one is a tomboy and how the other is a girly girl, not necessarily which type of tomboy and/or which type of girly girl each girl is.Using #2 or #3 to justify deleting an example invokes the very same negative stereotypes mentioned above.The girly girl does not have to be a total priss with no masculine interests ( Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak).The tomboy does not have to be a total man-beast with no feminine interests ( Tomboy with a Girly Streak).The two girls do not have to be polar opposites of each other to fit this trope.Important Note: While this is usually a straightforward trope, examples can still get subjective in regards to whether or not one of the girls is tomboyish enough, the other is girly enough, or whether they're different enough.
When a third girl is part of the dynamic but does not fit in either category, then she's among the Town Girls (Butch, Femme and Neither). Contrast Silk Hiding Steel, Spirited Young Lady, Girly Bruiser, Lady of War, and often Pretty Princess Powerhouse all of which are a mixture of the two. Tender Tomboyishness, Foul Femininity is another subtrope where the tomboy is nice while the girly girl is mean.Ĭompare/contrast Bifauxnen and Lad-ette (the equivalent of this trope, only without the girly girl involved), Light Feminine and Dark Feminine (the other equivalent, usually without the tomboy: although if the tropes are used together then the Dark half is usually the tomboy and the Light half is the girl girl), and Masculine≯eminine Gay Couple (an equivalent involving a couple). If they are sisters of different ages, the older sister will almost always be the girly girl, and the younger sister will almost always be the tomboy.Ĭompare the mannish one and the sweet-naive one of the Four-Girl Ensemble.įeminine Mother, Tomboyish Daughter is a Sub-Trope that uses this contrast to explore changing gender norms. If they're female twins, chances of this trope are more than fair. When one is the mother of the other, the mother will almost always be the girly girl, and the daughter will almost always be the tomboy. If they're together for reasons outside their control (e.g., part of a team), they might initially dislike or confuse each other with their ways, until the inevitable Girls' Night Out Episode forces them to put aside their differences and forge a common bond (note: if there are more than two girls in the group, these two must have some kind of relationship over the others). Even when they aren't explicit lovers, this may lead to deliberate or accidental Homoerotic Subtext due to the overlap with the Masculine≯eminine Gay Couple stereotype. The two ladies will have some sort of relationship with each other, whether they're best friends, sisters, on the same team, or even explicit lovers.
Like their Spear Counterparts, Sensitive Guy and Manly Man, they are candidates for an Odd Couple and Odd Friendship brought together in the attempt to make hilarity ensue. She couldn't care less about her hair or makeup but is often an Unkempt Beauty anyway.
The " Tomboy", who is often The Big Girl, will be into sports, mechanics, house and/or building construction and/or renovation, or the like. The " Girly Girl" will highly care about her appearance, pursue "girly" interests, and is often (though not always) The Chick. When the main characters in a show are both females, or if there are only Two Girls to a Team, it almost always leads to a case of this trope.
