Tomboy and Girly Girl | |
| Border, KS / int_2d364c81 | comment |
Tomboy and Girly Girl: Siobhan (Tomboy) and Antigone (Girly Girl) are minor versions of this. Siobhan still cares about lookign nice, but she's quite comfortable being out in jeans and boots (as long as they are black); Antigone takes more time to do make up and dress attractively in order to fit in. | |
