A female character added to a new season, spinoff, or sequel to balance out the sexes.
If she's the first woman in a previously all-male cast, this is just The Smurfette Principle at work and she's probably The Heart. But if she's added when there's already a (single) woman in the cast, to counter the Smurfette Principle by adding more gender balance, then she's an Affirmative Action Girl. When this trope was in its formative stages (when Affirmative Action was still working its way into action-oriented fiction), such characters were usually Straw Feminists to boot. For bonus points, she might be a racial minority as well.
Note that despite the Punny Name, she need not be an Action Girl, but usually is at least a Tomboy to distinguish her from a pre-existing feminine character.
If used well, she can genuinely enrich the story. But if she's just there and has no characterization or Character Development, expect the fandom to hate her for being shallow, badly written, too feminine, or not feminine enough, or a Creator's Pet.
Compare Affirmative-Action Legacy, Sixth Ranger, and Two Girls to a Team. See also More Diverse Sequel, which she can contribute to.

When Mexico's City's ban on luchadoras was lifted CMLL had one women's title belt for every level (local, national, world), but in 2011 a partnership with the Japanese "Joshi" federation REINA lead CMLL to create two more international title belts for women.

Kamen Rider Revice: Ikki and Daiji's little sister Sakura is a karate student that can hold her own against Mooks and human criminals, and that's before she gets her own Transformation Trinket and becomes Kamen Rider Jeanne. It's considered the first time that a female Rider was one of the main protagonists. She's also the first one to get a Super Mode.note Valkyrie technically got one before her, but A) it was in a spinoff and Jeanne's is in the actual show, and B) Valkyrie's was a Power-Up Letdown and she got badly beaten. Sakura's Friendly Enemy relationship with Aguilera also leads to Aguilera making a Heel–Face Turn and becoming a Rider herself, so the series gets two regular female Riders.

The Smurfs began with an all-male cast. After some books, a female Smurfette appeared, but she seldom appeared until she moved to the Smurf Village several books later and became the Trope Namer of The Smurfette Principle. Then, a few books later, she stopped being the sole female with the addition of the tomboyish kid Sassette.

Zoe's inclusion into Sluggy Freelance (she's the first female character with any dialogue) after Riff comments, "This strip needs women." It's a lesser example because she appeared when the strip was only a month old, and Pete Abrams claims he'd had her character planned from the beginning. The revelation that Aylee is female made her qualify.

PAW Patrol's first season had five male pups (Marshall, Chase, Rubble, Rocky, Zuma) and one girl (Skye). The second season added Everest, a second female pup, and Tracker, an ethnic-minority pup (he's Latino, inasmuch as that concept applies to dogs – he's bilingual in Spanish and his English is strongly accented).

Kamen Rider Wizard had Mayu Inamori, the Good Twin to the villainous Medusa, eventually become the first (and most prominent) Kamen Rider Mage and the first recurring female Rider, albeit one that used a mass-produced suit and arrived too late in the series to rack up many appearances.

Angel had Cordelia as the only woman in the main cast. Season 2 gave Darla and Lilah big roles, but they were still only recurring, not to mention villains. Fred (a girl) was added to the main titles for Season 3, making it Two Girls to a Team. By Season 5, Fred was the only woman in the main cast, but Harmony was added as Angel's secretary and promoted to the opening titles for the last few episodes.

Runaways had inverted this trope in part due to inverting Two Girls to a Team, with there being four girls and two guys. When one male member, Alex Wilder, was revealed to be The Mole and died at the end of the first arc, Victor Mancha was introduced in part to fill the void and has served as a longtime member since.

Diddy Kong Racing: In the original Nintendo 64 version, the only female character was Pipsy the mouse. In order to even the balance a bit (and fill the empty spots left by characters Nintendo no longer had permission to use, along with making the game less of an In Name Only addition to the Donkey Kong Country franchise), Diddy's girlfriend Dixie Kong and her younger sister Tiny Kong were added to the Nintendo DS version.

A variation in Miss Congeniality. While there is a large female cast in the first movie, the majority of them are the pageant contestants - and Gracie is the only female FBI agent. The sequel teams her up with another female agent Sam, though ironically features fewer female supporting characters (as the plot is about rescuing one pageant contestant).

Thomas & Friends:
The series had no (canonical) female steam engines until Season 7 introduced Emily, who eventually became part of the main cast. Then the Big World! Big Adventures! Retool added TWO new female members - Nia the Kenyan tank engine, and Rebecca the yellow streamlined tender engine. Their addition expands the number of female members in the core cast from only one (Emily) to a whopping three, combined with four existing males (Thomas, James, Percy and Gordon) to form a near Gender-Equal Ensemble. According to Word of God from Mattel executives, Nia and Rebecca's introduction, much like Emily's, was done in response to criticism over the show being sexist, and also due to a rise in interest for the series from female and minority audiences.
Prior to the show's transition from scale train models to CGI, Isobella was the only female member of the Sodor Construction Company. Although Isobella wasn't carried over from the transition, Season 23 introduced two new female members to the team: Brenda the Bulldozer and Darcy the Digger.

When DC Rebirth revived the idea of a Flash Family after they were Exiled from Continuity during New 52, new speedsters Avery Ho and Meena Dhawan were introduced, who were both also Twofer Token Minority examples too (Avery is mixed-Asian and Meena is Ambiguously Brown but assumed to be Indian in origin). At the end of Josh Williamson's run, he revived Jesse Quick (who he had wanted to bring back for some time anyway) and also saw Wally's daughter Irey return, so there were now four female Flashes active compared to seven male (and Godspeed).

Hawkgirl from Justice League was added because the network wanted one more female character besides Wonder Woman. It worked out though because, despite her relative lack of notoriety in the original comics, she ended up becoming one of the most significant (in both a good way and a bad way, according to the Broken Base) in the series, and even led to her being used more in the mainstream DC universe, which in turn was because Timm and Dini are just that good. They are in fact so good that The Movie is entirely centered around her origins and race, and even when she leaves the team she's still a huge deal later on. When the show is relaunched as Justice League Unlimited, it adds many new characters, both male and female, and will often give these new characters A Day in the Limelight to show them off without being overshadowed by the originals. It's notable though that the characters who get these the most are Black Canary, Huntress, Vixen, and Supergirl; while Green Arrow and Question also get a sizeable amount of focus too, Canary and Huntress end up with a budding Birds of Prey subplot growing, while Vixen gets major focus as Green Lantern's new Love Interest and Supergirl goes through a decently sized subplot.

Hailey Anne from Yo Kai Watch was added to balance out the cast and so that there could be a girl that could use the titular watch in the anime, as Katie was made a supporting character. She replaces Katie as the female protagonist in the third game. This didn't really work as intended, however, since it just resulted in Katie getting even less focus in favor of Hailey.

Supergirl's adopted sibling was a boy in the comics. For Supergirl (2015) the character becomes Kara's stepsister Alex. This adds a third female protagonist in addition to Kara and her boss Cat Grant. Additionally the show received complaints about having no women of color in the first season, so the second (where Cat is Put on a Bus) adds Maggie Sawyer and Miss Martian.

The Beano:
During Super School's first run there were originally four super kids three male one female and then Bananagirl was added to the cast balancing the sexes quite a bit.
In 2021 and 2022, several new girls were added to The Bash Street Kids, which had previously had Toots as the only girl. Many of them were transplants from other strips, and all of them were Twofer Token Minorities.

The Flash: Somewhat downplayed as the idea of the Flash Family is Older Than They Think; there had been multiple speedsters since the Golden Age who were loosely connected to the JSA, and by the Silver Age Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, and Wally West (then only Kid Flash) were an informal 'family'. When the Flash Family aspect got more focus and became a more solid unit in the 90s, Jesse Chambers/Jesse Quick, daughter of Golden Age speedster Johnny Quick, was introduced, and even briefly became Wally's chosen successor as the next Flash. The Smurfette Principle aspect was downplayed somewhat by how much Wally's girlfriend-late-wife, Linda Park, helped out, and sometimes also had Bart's cousin XS, a speedster who works with the Legion of Superheroes, as a slightly looser member.
When DC Rebirth revived the idea of a Flash Family after they were Exiled from Continuity during New 52, new speedsters Avery Ho and Meena Dhawan were introduced, who were both also Twofer Token Minority examples too (Avery is mixed-Asian and Meena is Ambiguously Brown but assumed to be Indian in origin).

A few people complained about Batman Begins and The Dark Knight not featuring any interesting female characters. The only prominent woman in the story was Rachel Dawes, the love interest who is killed in the second film. The Dark Knight Rises introduces both Selina Kyle and Miranda Tate, who both have prominent roles in the story.

Kamen Rider Zero-One is the first series in the entire franchise to start with a female Rider in the cast, Kamen Rider Valkyrie; and she was the first woman to take part in the franchise's Swiss-Army Hero gimmick by being able to switch between two forms. However, while one of the series' main characters on paper, she was eventually Demoted to Extra and left on the sidelines more often than not. If you're willing to stretch gender definitions, Naki also becomes a Rider late in the series (the character is androgynous and, as an android, has No Biological Sex; while the actress identifies as non-binary); but only transforms a few times.

Prior to the rise of the National Wrestling Alliance Cora Livingston's title was only one recognized World Championship belt. This was an Unbuilt Trope, better than the men, who couldn't agree on a World Heavyweight Championship belt until George Hackenschmidt, who forced the issue and still had to have two different World Heavyweight Championship belts for the Easter and Western Hemispheres, but over the decades various governing bodies introduced dozens of world championship belts for men of various weight divisions, and even tag teams, but with wasn't until the NWA that the women finally got World Tag Team and Junior Heavyweight belts of their own.

Harry Potter:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix adds Tonks to the team of good badass adults we're used to as well as Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood to the main group. Although Ginny was in the story before this book, she had only been either a background character or a Damsel in Distress (in the second one). Here she becomes a proper Action Girl and joins Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville in the fight at the Ministry. Luna as well then makes the main group have three girls and three boys. On the evil side, we originally had Bellatrix. Alecto Carrow then appears as another female Death Eater, but this trope fits Bellatrix's sister Narcissa better; she technically appeared earlier and she's only the wife of a villain, but her role gets greatly expanded in the final two books, culminating in a Heel–Face Turn that allows Harry to kill Voldemort.

For the first six years of its run, SMG4 had only Princess Peach as a major female character (Daisy and Toadette were never major). Then in July 2017, the series introduced Meggy Spletzer, an Inkling whose popularity quickly catapulted her to the main cast. She immediately distinguished herself as the tomboy to Peach's Girly Girl through her sporty Fiery Redhead personality. Meggy soon replaced Peach as the main girl of the series. However, unlike Peach, she would be joined in short order by three more major female characters (plus at least two minor ones), making the gender-balance of the series more even …which Mario lampshades at least once.

Rocko's Modern Life:
Dr. Hutchinson was created originally for this purpose – the writers were told they needed "a professional woman [...] with a good hook." They took that a bit more literally than intended. Though reluctant at first, they eventually grew fond of her and created a storyline where she dates and marries Filbert.
And in "Wacky Delly", a show-within-a-show from one particularly memorable episode, the three main characters each come up with their own characters for the show. Rocko's is introduced simply as "This here's Betty Bologna. She's a girl!". It is unlikely that he had any other plans for the character aside from being a token woman.

Not exactly striking a gender balance, Kamen Rider Shuki from Kamen Rider Hibiki was a lot more competent and stayed on the show longer than Larc and Femme. And by longer, we mean two episodes as opposed to just a tie-in movie. Meanwhile, Akira was another girl training to be a Kamen Rider as Ibuki's apprentice, but she only managed a half-transformation in an emergency and afterward decided not to pursue it any further.

Getting back to Power Rangers, the same She's a Man in Japan practice applied to Trini was applied in later seasons: Lost Galaxy had Maya (replacing Seijuu Sentai Gingaman 's Hikaru), Lightspeed Rescue had Kelsey Winslow (in the place of Daimon Tatsumi from Rescue Sentai GoGoFive), Time Force had Katie Walker (replacing Domon from Mirai Sentai Timeranger) Wild Force had Taylor Earhardt (replacing Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger 's Gaku Washio), and Dino Fury had Izzy Garcia (replacing Towa from Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger).

In the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, Miho was a minor character with sporadic appearances. She was made part of the main cast in the first Yu-Gi-Oh TV series to prevent Anzu from being the only girl. She was completely absent in the second series due to the introduction of other female characters such as Mai Valentine, Rebecca Hawkins, and Ishizu Ishtar.

Final Fantasy XII based the Espers on the signs of the Zodiac - of which only Virgo is represented by a female symbol (the rest are either male, animal, or inanimate objects). Indeed the Esper representing Virgo - Ultima - is female. Developers made another of the Espers female too - Shemhazai who was based on Sagittarius (a male centaur).

When the classic story of Space Battleship Yamato was redone as Space Battleship Yamato 2199, one of the first things that the producers did was expand the female cast by a significant degree (to the point where some previously male characters were turned into women too). This is made obvious by the crew of the Yamato itself — whereas in the classic series Yuki was the only woman on board, 2199 gives her a whole lot of company, with a third of the ship's crew made up of women.

The Big Bang Theory starts out with 4 different geeks and the one chick across the hall. After almost 3 years of seeing The Smurfette Principle in action (and 2 failed relationship attempts between some girl and the Dogged Nice Guy), two new main female characters are brought in that help balance the two more socially extreme geeks of the group and the gender ratio in general.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix adds Tonks to the team of good badass adults we're used to as well as Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood to the main group. Although Ginny was in the story before this book, she had only been either a background character or a Damsel in Distress (in the second one). Here she becomes a proper Action Girl and joins Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville in the fight at the Ministry. Luna as well then makes the main group have three girls and three boys. On the evil side, we originally had Bellatrix. Alecto Carrow then appears as another female Death Eater, but this trope fits Bellatrix's sister Narcissa better; she technically appeared earlier and she's only the wife of a villain, but her role gets greatly expanded in the final two books, culminating in a Heel–Face Turn that allows Harry to kill Voldemort.

Kamen Rider Drive has another non-Rider example in Kiriko Shijima, a policewoman and Shinnosuke's partner. In-story, she was a candidate for being Drive herself but lacked some unspecified factor, which rubbed some fans the wrong way given that she was otherwise generally more capable than Shinnosuke was.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid ended up giving both of its most prominent female characters Rider powers later in the series; on the one hand, they're both Lethal Joke Characters (Poppy has incredibly powerful Super Cute Superpowers while Nico uses a Mook suit but is skilled enough to kick butt with it), but on the other, they don't in get a whole lot of fights.

Kamen Rider Geats involves a Deadly Game that recruits both men and women as contestants, though most are just nameless Red Shirts that get eliminated or even killed offscreen. Of the Riders that actually get screentime, men still outnumber women at around four-to-one, but the cast is still large enough that the women include a main character (Na-Go), a few short-term Mauve Shirts (Letter, Lopo, and Hakubi), and even a major villainess (Beroba). Though some of those are downplayed since they aren't really Action Girls — Hakubi could defend herself decently, but was less experienced than everyone else at that point and eventually got overpowered; while Letter was a Red Shirt whose only purpose was to get killed off (but so are some of the male Riders, avoiding sexism on that front).

Kamen Rider Ghost had a Quirky Miniboss Squad using knockoffs of Kamen Rider Necrom's powers in the summer movie; and one of the team members was a woman. Necrom's sister also briefly used her own variant of his powers in one of the episodes tying into said movie. Years later, return appearances reveal that Kamen Rider Specter's own sister Kanon has also become a Kamen Rider herself.

The later instalments of Civilization have leaned much more heavily towards female civilization leaders and great people from history, even when it meant picking more obscure historical figures, or ones who don't quite fit where the game puts them. Case in point: Grace Hopper most certainly had the rank of Rear Admiral in the American navy, but her contributions were in computer science and programming, not leading ships, so her presence in Civilization VI as a Great Admiral rather than a Great Scientist or Great Engineer seems clearly directed to achieving greater gender balance in the Great Admiral list.

The Order of the Stick begins with just one woman, Haley (unless you count gender-indeterminate Vaarsuvius). In strip #43, they meet "The Linear Guild", their first set of antagonists, which includes two women, Sabine and Hilgya. Hilgya soon leaves, and Celia the air elemental law student is introduced. She goes on to become a much more important character, as does Sabine, who sticks around with her boyfriend Nale after the rest of the Linear Guild breaks up. Another female character is added in strip #200, the stuck-up paladin Miko. Xykon the lich's army starts out apparently all male but gets an infusion of estrogen in the form of Tsukiko right before Miko lets her paranoia get the best of her and dies. Later we meet the Ascended Extra Kazumi Kato, and her boyfriend and eventually husband Daigo. The female paladin Lien also plays a supporting role. Intrigue among the exiled paladins and their people also introduces Lord Kubota as a villain, his female ninja protege Therkla, and the male imp Qarr. And it goes on from there. OOTS goes from Smurfette Principle beginnings to a nearly equally balanced cast.

Metal Slug:
The original Metal Slug had two characters, the guys Marco and Tarma. Metal Slug 2 revealed their female counterparts, Fio and Eri. Fio and Eri have stuck around ever since... except for when Tarma and Eri were put on a different mission in Metal Slug 4 and replaced with Trevor and Nadia.
7/XX adds Leona, but you have to buy her first.
Metal Slug Attack ratchets things all the way in the other direction after exaggerating this trope during its launch. The game has added dozens of new characters for both the good guys and all the bad guy factions, pretty much all of them female. It wasn't until the game had been out for a year or so that they started to add a few males to the expanded cast.

AAA's Reina de Reina's title belt was the only one they created for women, and even that was intially just the Distaff Counterpart to the recurring Rey de Reyes event until Xóchitl Hamada's feud with the Moreno family proved so popular a belt was created to keep it going. In 2003 the Apache family as started gaining popularity, and since there was only one man at the time (Gran) and three women (Lady, Faby and Mary), a "Mixed" title belt where a man must team with a woman was also created.

Due to WWE's female roster expanding in 2008, they introduced a second female title - giving the Raw brand the Women's Championship and Smackdown the Divas' Championship. The Women's Championship was retired in 2010, but in 2016 when the brand split was brought back a second female championship was introduced again, and women's tag team championships were introduced in 2018.

Inverted on The Sarah Jane Adventures. In the original pilot, the gender ratio was three women (Sarah Jane, Kelsey, and Maria) to one man (Luke). When the series began, Kelsey had been replaced with Clyde to balance out the gender ratio (and because Kelsey's actress was rather difficult.) Kelsey went on to join Faction Paradox and became the president of Pluto, so things worked out for her in the end.

The cast of THQ's cancelled Avengers video game pretty much exclusively consisted of characters featured in the MCU (Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye and War Machine) with the lone exception of Ms. Marvel, who would have appeared as an unlockable character.

Samantha Carter was living large as the sole estrogen representative of Stargate SG-1. And then along comes Vala Mal Doran, who ironically was more of a chick than Carter ever was. Sam never really filled the role of The Heart, despite being initially the only girl. Instead, Daniel Jackson functioned as The Heart, while Sam was the resident Action Girl and Omnidisciplinary Scientist.

The second season of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Until then, Katara was the only woman in the main cast. Then Azula, Mai, Ty Lee and Toph all arrive in the first six episodes, and suddenly the gender ratio for main and recurring characters is four male, five female. Though she appeared as a minor character in season one, Suki may also count as seasons two and three increase her prominence. Incidentally, Toph and Azula were originally conceived as guys. The genders were swapped somewhere down the line, presumably to let this trope happen, and because swapping Toph's gender was hilarious.

Similar to Go-Onger, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger only had one girl in the main Five-Man Band (Amy Yuuzuki/Kyoryu Pink), but two of the auxiliary Rangers later passed their mantles to women (Dr. Ulshade/Kyoryu Violet to his granddaughter Yayoi, and Ramirez/Kyoryu Cyan to Yuko Fukui).

In S.W.A.T. (2003), a new character was added, Chris Sanchez, a woman who has repeatedly applied to join SWAT but was rejected for being a girl, with her number of police brutality accusations (Actually just perps who were embarrassed at being taken down by a girl) given as a reason for not allowing her to join. And then came Samuel L. Jackson...

The Geek in The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police. Put in as a compromise - the executives wanted a female main character and their original idea was to make Max female (which would never work as Sam and Max are Heterosexual Life-Partners with the occasional moment of Ho Yay). Luckily she hardly had any effect on the show. The silly thing is there are plenty of female characters in Sam and Max, but the network wanted one as a main character.

The Kamen Rider franchise is notoriously bad when it comes to including female Riders. Women are usually on the supporting cast, but they don't often get involved with the actual combat. As a result, the franchise has repeatedly used this trope as it's taken gradual steps towards getting women on the battlefield alongside the men:
The trend began back in 1975's Kamen Rider Stronger, where the title character had a female sidekick named Tackle. She was a Faux Action Girl who died partway through the series and still isn't considered an official Kamen Rider to this day. (Though in fairness, Real Life Writes the Plot was working against her; the actress had asthma that got in the way of doing fight scenes, and there were plans to bring her back if the series hadn't been Cut Short.) Tackle was the only major female combatant in the original Showa era run of the show in the '70s and '80s.
When the franchise returned in the Heisei era after a hiatus, it would occasionally include a token female Rider:
Kamen Rider Ryuki introduced the first female Rider, Kamen Rider Femme, though she only appeared in a tie-in movie and died at the end.
Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, the second American adaptation of a Rider series, took Femme's counterpart Kamen Rider Siren and promoted her from a one-shot movie-exclusive character into a major recurring hero on par with the original show's Lancer.
Subverted in Kamen Rider 555. The show built up Kamen Rider Delta with multiple Offscreen Moments of Awesome before it revealed that Samus Is a Girl... and then killed her off just before we could see her fight for real. The Delta equipment and identity would be used by men for the rest of the series.
Kamen Rider Blade included a woman in its group of movie-exclusive Riders as Kamen Rider Larc. Like Femme, she doesn't survive the movie.
Not exactly striking a gender balance, Kamen Rider Shuki from Kamen Rider Hibiki was a lot more competent and stayed on the show longer than Larc and Femme. And by longer, we mean two episodes as opposed to just a tie-in movie. Meanwhile, Akira was another girl training to be a Kamen Rider as Ibuki's apprentice, but she only managed a half-transformation in an emergency and afterward decided not to pursue it any further.
Kamen Rider Kiva had Yuri and Megumi Aso, mother-daughter Vampire Hunters (Yuri in 1986, Megumi in the then-present day of 2008). They're not Riders themselves, and usually get in over their heads so a Rider has to save them, but the fact that they regularly stand their ground against the monsters is more proactive than most female supporting characters. They also each get the chance to borrow the Kamen Rider IXA powers from its regular male users once or twice.
Kamen Rider Decade gave its female lead Natsumi powers as Kamen Rider Kivala, but only in the finale movie so she doesn't get to do much with them. On the plus side, she's the first female Rider to not die. Decade also gives some other female Riders extra promotion; Akira from Hibiki is a fully-fledged Kamen Rider in this version, while a web short argues that Tackle from Stronger should be acknowledged as a proper Kamen Rider and she gets a badass fight scene in the finale movie.
Kamen Rider Fourze once again has a female Rider that only appears in tie-in movies (though two films this time instead of just one), Kamen Rider Nadeshiko.
Kamen Rider Wizard had Mayu Inamori, the Good Twin to the villainous Medusa, eventually become the first (and most prominent) Kamen Rider Mage and the first recurring female Rider, albeit one that used a mass-produced suit and arrived too late in the series to rack up many appearances.
Mayu was soon overshadowed by Kamen Rider Gaim's Yoko Minato, who was a badass spy even before she became Kamen Rider Marika (it helped that she was played by stuntwoman Minami Tsukui, who was the first Rider since the original to use No Stunt Double). She ended up the only woman in the Heisei era to have Rider powers for the majority of a show's run. Gaim also had a number of one-off villainous Riders in spin-offs, including two women, Idunn and Sylphi.
Kamen Rider Drive has another non-Rider example in Kiriko Shijima, a policewoman and Shinnosuke's partner. In-story, she was a candidate for being Drive herself but lacked some unspecified factor, which rubbed some fans the wrong way given that she was otherwise generally more capable than Shinnosuke was.
Kamen Rider Ghost had a Quirky Miniboss Squad using knockoffs of Kamen Rider Necrom's powers in the summer movie; and one of the team members was a woman. Necrom's sister also briefly used her own variant of his powers in one of the episodes tying into said movie. Years later, return appearances reveal that Kamen Rider Specter's own sister Kanon has also become a Kamen Rider herself.
Kamen Rider Ex-Aid ended up giving both of its most prominent female characters Rider powers later in the series; on the one hand, they're both Lethal Joke Characters (Poppy has incredibly powerful Super Cute Superpowers while Nico uses a Mook suit but is skilled enough to kick butt with it), but on the other, they don't in get a whole lot of fights.
Finally, Kamen Rider Zi-O mirrors Decade in several ways, including giving its female lead Tsukuyomi Rider powers in the series finale. But Zi-O, at least, has a few post-show projects where she can use them.
The Reiwa era looks to be taking more steps forward and making female Riders more common, as every series so far has had at least one in the regular cast:
Kamen Rider Zero-One is the first series in the entire franchise to start with a female Rider in the cast, Kamen Rider Valkyrie; and she was the first woman to take part in the franchise's Swiss-Army Hero gimmick by being able to switch between two forms. However, while one of the series' main characters on paper, she was eventually Demoted to Extra and left on the sidelines more often than not. If you're willing to stretch gender definitions, Naki also becomes a Rider late in the series (the character is androgynous and, as an android, has No Biological Sex; while the actress identifies as non-binary); but only transforms a few times.
After spending the first half of Kamen Rider Saber as a Manipulative Bitch, Reika reveals that she's also combat-capable as Kamen Rider Sabela.
Kamen Rider Revice: Ikki and Daiji's little sister Sakura is a karate student that can hold her own against Mooks and human criminals, and that's before she gets her own Transformation Trinket and becomes Kamen Rider Jeanne. It's considered the first time that a female Rider was one of the main protagonists. She's also the first one to get a Super Mode.note Valkyrie technically got one before her, but A) it was in a spinoff and Jeanne's is in the actual show, and B) Valkyrie's was a Power-Up Letdown and she got badly beaten. Sakura's Friendly Enemy relationship with Aguilera also leads to Aguilera making a Heel–Face Turn and becoming a Rider herself, so the series gets two regular female Riders.
Kamen Rider Geats involves a Deadly Game that recruits both men and women as contestants, though most are just nameless Red Shirts that get eliminated or even killed offscreen. Of the Riders that actually get screentime, men still outnumber women at around four-to-one, but the cast is still large enough that the women include a main character (Na-Go), a few short-term Mauve Shirts (Letter, Lopo, and Hakubi), and even a major villainess (Beroba). Though some of those are downplayed since they aren't really Action Girls — Hakubi could defend herself decently, but was less experienced than everyone else at that point and eventually got overpowered; while Letter was a Red Shirt whose only purpose was to get killed off (but so are some of the male Riders, avoiding sexism on that front).
In Kamen Rider Gotchard, Gotchard is aided by his friend and ally Rinne, who supports him in battle by casting "spells" (actually Alchemy) from the sidelines, Lady of Black Magic-style; and soon enough she becomes a Rider herself and takes a more direct role in fighting as Kamen Rider Majade. She's credited as the first time that the franchise's traditional Secondary Rider role was female (Jeanne and Na-Go were main characters, but each officially only ranked third in importance in their respective series).

Typically, the most recurring female character in the Super Mario Bros. series is Peach. In the spin-offs, they literally throw in as many female characters as they can find. While many of the additional characters in the Mario spin-offs (Daisy, Baby Peach, Rosalina, Birdo, and more recently, Pauline) could be accused of being this trope, only Toadette and Baby Daisy were created specifically for this purpose.

Angela from Gargoyles, added in Season 2. All the gargoyles were male except for Demona, who was a villain. Elisa was the existing female character, but she's not a gargoyle and therefore not quite as action-y, despite being a police officer and often participating in combat. In the original series pitch, there were apparently two female gargoyles in the main cast—Coco, who was forced by Executive Meddling to evolve into Broadway because they didn't like the idea of an overweight woman as a main character, and Dakota, the original leader of the clan, who was dropped for being very boring. It's worth noting that neither character was stuck in limbo permanently: Coco was brought back in the comic continuation as a member of the London Clan, while Dakota was retooled into Demona.

Metal Slug Attack ratchets things all the way in the other direction after exaggerating this trope during its launch. The game has added dozens of new characters for both the good guys and all the bad guy factions, pretty much all of them female. It wasn't until the game had been out for a year or so that they started to add a few males to the expanded cast.

Final Fantasy X-2 is an interesting case. The original game had three girls on the team but the protagonist was male. The sequel has two of the original girls now as the protagonist, with a third new one added - marking the first time in the series the player has an all-female party. What's more is that those three are the only party members and there are no Guest Star Party Members either.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader adds a second girl to the crew - Gael, a girl who stows away after her mother is kidnapped. This would have created a Plot Hole for when the Dufflepuds kidnap Lucy as in the book, they do so because only a girl can read the spell to free them. However, the film remedies it by having one of the Dufflepuds note that Gael is also a girl but that Lucy has a book next to her, indicating she knows how to read.

Saved by the Bell was envisioned as having only Two Girls to a Team - with Lisa and Kelly as only two girls versus a main cast of four males (five if you count Max, who was a recurring cast member at first). Elizabeth Berkley's audition (for Kelly) impressed producers and they created a third woman - Jessie Spano - to accommodate her.

The live-action Death Note movies have Sanami, who was created to add a woman to the Task Force. Similarly, the role of the Third Kira was given to an adapted version of (attractive twenty-something woman) Kiyomi Takada, originally merely a Kira-supporter and a go-between for Light and Teru Mikami (the fourth Kira), when character-wise, an adapted version of (unattractive older male) Kyosuke Higuchi would have worked just as well, although in Takada's defense, she had a role in the live-action story.

The fourth season of Law & Order had Dann Florek and Richard Brooks replaced by S. Epatha Merkerson and Jill Hennessy due to NBC's request that Dick Wolf add female cast members to the show. Considering that Merkerson was still on the show 15 years later and that Hennessy is widely considered to be the best of McCoy's assistants (sometimes tossed up against Angie Harmon), this is a rare case where Executive Meddling worked out for the best.

Red vs. Blue:
While Tex didn't balance out the sexes, throughout the whole show she has consistently been, by far, the best soldier in the series, at one point delivering a merciless smackdown against the Reds and Tucker at the same time without taking a hit. Red Vs Blue usually avoids the negative aspects of the trope: particularly with Season 9, more and more female characters have been added, and they, as well as Tex, have been a major impact on the plot and have become well-developed characters. However, Sister's inclusion in Season 5 smacks of the downsides: she's promiscuous, stupid, and female, and that's really all there is to her character. This may be why she hasn't been seen since the beginning of Season 6.
Sister reappeared as a major character in season 16, and she underwent some major offscreen Character Development, having matured and really become quite a bit smarter (though that really doesn’t mean much in this show). Her and Tucker pair up in the time travel shenanigans involved in this season, with Tucker once more making constant passes at her. Eventually it’s revealed that they had a falling out and when Tucker keeps pushing it, she hits him with a scathing "The Reason You Suck" Speech about how she’s grown up but he’s still the same old horn dog he was back in the Blood Gulch Chronicles, that leaves Tucker absolutely speechless.

For most of ReBoot's run in the first two seasons, the main cast had a ratio of about 4-1. (Megabyte, Bob, Enzo, and Phong to Dot.) Towards the end of the second season, likely to give Enzo somebody to talk to, AndrAIa the game sprite is introduced. Afterward, series guest stars Hexadecimal and Mouse are given larger roles and made into regulars.

Xenogears:
Despite the large cast, only a handful of the ones that are significant to the plot are female. The first fifty-odd hours will lead one to think that Elly is destined to be the game's playable Smurfette compared to the five guys Fei, Citan, Bart, Rico, and Billy, only being mitigated somewhat with Miang as the Dark Mistress to Ramsus's presumptive Big Bad, Margie as a non-playable Plucky Girl, and the all-female Quirky Miniboss Squad. Then, after completing the Shevat story arc near the end of the first disc, three female playable characters in a row are added: Maria, Chu-Chu, and Emeralda.
Also, there turns out to be more to Miang than what the player is told at first. She is not only manipulating Ramsus from behind the scenes but has been doing the same to the whole world for 10,000 years—she is one of the two Big Bads in the story and for all intents and purposes, the physical avatar of their world's god.

The end of the second season of Robin Hood saw the departure of Marian and Djaq. The writers unsuccessfully tried to compensate in the third series by introducing Isabella and Kate to take their place as Robin's Love Interest and the Token Girl respectively.

In the original Watership Down novel and animated film, Hyzenthlay was the only female with a big role. The TV series changes Blackberry to a female and expands the role of Primrose. It also adds in a female mouse character called Hannah who didn't exist in the books.

An interesting case that stretches between the Thunderbirds of the 1960s and the most recent 2015 remake Thunderbirds Are Go. In the original series a female character by the name of Tin Tin was added to the cast to address the imbalance between the male/female character ratio — only for the show to do nothing particularly interesting with her. The remake reconceives the character as Kayo, who is given a more delineated skill set and a backstory of her own — resulting in a much more interesting and important character.

The second book of A Song of Ice and Fire, A Clash of Kings, introduces many female warriors into the already large cast of characters, including Asha Greyjoy, Brienne of Tarth, Ygritte, Meera Reed, and fire priestess Melisandre. Martin explores how each fits into the male-dominated world of Westeros. The fourth book, A Feast for Crows, also introduces the Sand Snakes, a group of sisters who were brought up to be badasses by their father.

One Piece, Nami was the only female member of the Straw Hats for the entirety of the East Blue Saga. Once they get to the Grand line, they are quickly joined by Vivi, who serves as a Guest-Star Party Member for the Baroque Works Saga, and then Robin, who permanently joins the crew almost immediately after Vivi leaves. Of course, both Vivi and Robin are both well rounded and beloved characters who are vastly different from both each other and Nami.

Rugrats had Lil as the only girl in the core group of babies, with Angelica as the antagonist. Eventually Susie and later Kimi were added. The original lineup of Rugrats was three boys to one girl (or two if one counts Angelica, who isn't really part of the group) and by the end was a Gender-Equal Ensemble.

Most of the cast of the first Toy Story is, well, a collection of boy's toys. The only female character, Bo Peep, was fairly minor and only existed because the boy shared a room with his baby sister (and so Woody could have a Love Interest). In Toy Story 2, Mrs. Potato Head and Tour Guide Barbie were also fairly minor, but Jessie was one of the mains. Toy Story 3 gives Mrs. Potato Head a larger role and adds Great Shape Barbie as a new main character, but Bo Peep was cut entirely. (In the first film, Bo Peep was supposed to be a Barbie, but Mattel refused. It wasn't until they saw how the first movie caused sales of Mr. Potato Head toys to spike that they agreed to let her make an appearance.) Toy Story 4 not only brought back Bo Peep in a leading role but added several other female toys, in particular antagonist Gabby Gabby.

The Legend of Zelda (1989) added Spryte The Fairy to the cast of characters. While there are fairies in the Zelda series, there wasn't a main fairy character until Ocarina of Time in 1998, and Spryte was likely added for this reason. Strangely, Impa was not in the cartoon despite being an important female character present in the first game, but to be fair, she was only mentioned in the manual.

Skeeter in Muppet Babies (1984), as Miss Piggy was the only major recurring woman on its parent series, The Muppet Show.note  For the record, there weren't many minor recurring women on The Muppet Show, either. There was really just Janice, who was part of the rock band. On the other hand, Animal was part of the band too, and they used him regardless. And Camilla (the chicken, and Gonzo's love interest). Camilla also appeared in the cartoon as a stuffed doll that interacted with the other characters whenever they'd have their imagination sequences. Like when they did an episode on Greek mythology and needed a third woman for the goddesses' contest with Paris. She was Aphrodite, goddess of beauty, to the other girls' chagrin.

Sonic the Hedgehog: Rouge the Bat and Blaze the Cat. The former was the first additional major female character after Amy Rose (whom only started becoming an Action Girl herself recently at that point) and was an adversary for Knuckles. The latter debuted a few years later but is noticeable for being the only female character to match Sonic's skill in combat and is also the only woman to have a Super Mode of her own.

Young Justice (2010)
Artemis sort of counts: she did not join the cast until episode six, but was planned from the start (even appearing in commercials and the opening sequence).
Zatanna and Rocket join over the course of the first season. No other male characters joined the team until season two. The second season also added Batgirl, Wonder Girl, and Bumblebee to the team.
When considering new members to be added to the Justice League the three female members specifically say that another girl would be nice.

Speaking of original Japanese versions, Super Sentai started the practice with Choudenshi Bioman, but from then it swings back and forth between playing the trope straight and averting it (of the 28 seasons since then, 13 ran on The Smurfette Principle). Engine Sentai Go-onger played with this by starting off only with Saki Rouyama (Go-on Yellow), then introducing Miu Sutou (Go-on Silver), the first-ever female Ranger with Sixth Ranger status.

The trend began back in 1975's Kamen Rider Stronger, where the title character had a female sidekick named Tackle. She was a Faux Action Girl who died partway through the series and still isn't considered an official Kamen Rider to this day. (Though in fairness, Real Life Writes the Plot was working against her; the actress had asthma that got in the way of doing fight scenes, and there were plans to bring her back if the series hadn't been Cut Short.) Tackle was the only major female combatant in the original Showa era run of the show in the '70s and '80s.

Justice Society of America:
In post-Crisis continuity, the original Black Canary, Dinah Drake, was commonly made a founding member (or at least, a member who joined early into their tenure), and nowadays Liberty Belle (Libby Lawrence) has been increasingly featured as a founding member too (a carryover from her having lead the All-Star Squadron, which was basically the JSA merged with other teams active at the time). Retroactively, Hippolyta has been featured in place of her daughter.
Dinah Drake's daughter, the second Black Canary, Dinah Lance, has followed her mother's footsteps with the Justice League in Post-Crisis continuity. She was made a founding member of the team in the early 90s, in place of Wonder Woman, and later when this was retconned out, she was established still as being the eighth member recruited to join.
The Wonders of the World, the equivalent of the JSA in Earth 2, intitally only had one female member, Hawkgirl, before adding Power Girl and Huntress when they returned to Earth-2.

The Magnificent Seven (1960) had only one woman with a speaking part - Petra the Token Romance for Chico. The 2016 remake does not give one of the seven a Gender Flip, but gives the role of Seven Samurais Rikichi to Emma Cullen, a prominent character who assembles the seven, and the movie features a couple of supporting female characters.

Lola Bunny basically existed in Space Jam because of how few notable female Looney Tunes there were – having Granny play basketball would be pushing suspension of disbelief*  (which doesn't stop her from playing in the sequel), while Petunia Pig and especially Melissa Duck are seriously obscure. They found a gender-neutral niche for her in the comic books, and eventually turned her into a Cloud Cuckoolander and Stalker with a Crush for The Looney Tunes Show.

Mayu was soon overshadowed by Kamen Rider Gaim's Yoko Minato, who was a badass spy even before she became Kamen Rider Marika (it helped that she was played by stuntwoman Minami Tsukui, who was the first Rider since the original to use No Stunt Double). She ended up the only woman in the Heisei era to have Rider powers for the majority of a show's run. Gaim also had a number of one-off villainous Riders in spin-offs, including two women, Idunn and Sylphi.

Kamen Rider Kiva had Yuri and Megumi Aso, mother-daughter Vampire Hunters (Yuri in 1986, Megumi in the then-present day of 2008). They're not Riders themselves, and usually get in over their heads so a Rider has to save them, but the fact that they regularly stand their ground against the monsters is more proactive than most female supporting characters. They also each get the chance to borrow the Kamen Rider IXA powers from its regular male users once or twice.

League of Legends with its increasingly enormous playable roster has an already pretty-even gender ratio, though fan request and Riot's own interest for more diversity has led to female champions taking affirmative positions in originally uncommon roles. Examples include Fiora (designed out of demand for a female melee duelist), Leona (a female tank), and Illaoi (a female "juggernaut"). There have interestingly also been a few gender-inversions of this trope, such as Graves (made out of demand for a manly ranged marksman) and Braum (a manly support).

In South Park, Bebe has one day in the limelight episode, but besides that pretty much only exists for when they need a girl character other than Wendy (in particularly, playing her as Wendy's girlier Foil). Really, Wendy was the only important non-adult female early on, though as time goes on more of them are becoming Ascended Extras. Heidi was a main character as Cartman's girlfriend in Seasons 20 and 21 but returned to the background afterwards.

In Kamen Rider Gotchard, Gotchard is aided by his friend and ally Rinne, who supports him in battle by casting "spells" (actually Alchemy) from the sidelines, Lady of Black Magic-style; and soon enough she becomes a Rider herself and takes a more direct role in fighting as Kamen Rider Majade. She's credited as the first time that the franchise's traditional Secondary Rider role was female (Jeanne and Na-Go were main characters, but each officially only ranked third in importance in their respective series).

Featured in-universe in Empowered, where it's alluded to a few times that there is indeed an affirmative action program for superhero teams. Consequently, when the hideously unsuccessful Empowered is given a slot on a fairly prominent team (albeit only as an auxiliary member), the immediate musing in the crowd is "quota hire."

Black Widow was the only female Avenger for the first film, but in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Scarlet Witch is added to the line-up. If one counts the supporting cast, Maria Hill was the only significant woman helping the Avengers out in the first movie.

Dissidia Final Fantasy: As the only real lead character in the series (from I to XII), Terra is designated as the sole female character you can play in the story mode. Cosmos is an NPC, Shantotto is a bonus character, and No Campaign for the Wicked (ergo excluding the female villains Cloud of Darkness and Ultimecia). The sequel, Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, adds a new female lead, Lightning, and supporting characters to the roster, with Tifa, Yuna, and Prishe, slightly evening out the sausage fest.

From the original release of Street Fighter II to Hyper Fighting, Chun-Li was the game's sole female playable character (she was also the earliest playable character in a fighting game ever, hence her nickname "First Lady of Fighting Games"). This changed when Cammy was added in Super, and subsequent installments of Street Fighter have made sure that at least two women are in the cast.

Occurs in Voltron: Legendary Defender in the form of a Gender Flip. Pidge, a male character from the original Voltron, is made a girl in the Continuity Reboot (though she originally presents as male) to balance out the gender ratio.

As Lucy Brown left Primeval during Season 3, that would have left Abby as the only woman working at the ARC - if Laila Rouass hadn't joined as Sarah Page at the start of the season. When she leaves at the end of the season, Ruth Kearney's Jess and Ruth Bradley's Emily are added in Season 4.

Allenby Beardsley from Mobile Fighter G Gundam. A fan-favorite Sixth Ranger Genki Girl and Bokukko who promptly managed to fall into a Love Triangle involving the only other major female character on the show, the local Team Mom. Also, a relief to the male fans that were getting uncomfortable with the all-male pilots wearing Latex Space Suits.
Rain herself becomes a secondary example later, when Allenby is Brainwashed and Crazy and she takes up the task of Defusing The Tykebomb. She already had hints of it in the beginning, though, being able to withstand the "painful" suiting up process and handling the Shining Gundam in Shinjuku despite lack of specific training.

Arwen's role in The Lord of the Rings is expanded considerably compared to the original trilogy. Glorfindel's ride to bring Frodo to Rivendell is given to Arwen and she was filmed fighting at Helm's Deep so that the main romantic interest wasn't left out of the story for too long, but according to the DVD extras, her being Affirmative Action Girl didn't feel right so they delved into the periphery material to show her feminine strength (supporting, encouraging, negotiating and persuading to aid the fellowship from afar) instead of the masculine strength of bashing stuff with a sword. And also according to the commentaries, to avoid introducing a new named character who will have two total minutes of screen time. Word of God also said that Tauriel from The Hobbit film trilogy is what Arwen could have been since she was added to include some feminine energy.

The Batman:
Ellen Yin was the sole major female character for the first couple of seasons. Unsurprisingly, she was written out of the show around the time Batgirl was introduced as a main character.
The show's version of the Terrible Trio had Vulture depicted as a woman so that the group wouldn't be entirely male.

Used in-universe in Artemis Fowl. Holly Short is the only female officer on the LEPRecon force (there is another one, but she's a complete bimbo and serves as a PR move due to distant ancestry with a fairy king), and feels greatly put upon by her boss for being a girl. He quickly reveals that this is indeed the case... but because he knows she can take it, being better than all the other male officers, and if she succeeds the LEP will finally allow more women to join.

Lupin III:
The very first episode of the 2015 Lupin III series introduces a brand new character; an Italian thief named Rebecca, who serves as an additional foil for Lupin. For pretty much the first time in the franchise's history, Fujiko is no longer the sole woman among the main characters.
Lupin III: Part 5 does the same thing, adding a young Playful Hacker named Ami to the core cast for much of the season.
Lupin III: Part 6 has Lily, the Kid Sidekick of Sherlock Holmes and Arianna, Zenigata's new partner.

Kamen Rider Decade gave its female lead Natsumi powers as Kamen Rider Kivala, but only in the finale movie so she doesn't get to do much with them. On the plus side, she's the first female Rider to not die. Decade also gives some other female Riders extra promotion; Akira from Hibiki is a fully-fledged Kamen Rider in this version, while a web short argues that Tackle from Stronger should be acknowledged as a proper Kamen Rider and she gets a badass fight scene in the finale movie.

The first Final Fight game had 3 playable characters, all of them men, and the most important female character in the plot was the Damsel in Distress. Both sequels in the original trilogy, on the other hand, had Maki and Lucia respectively as playable women.

Super Smash Bros.: Super Smash Bros. 64 has only one playable female character, Samus. Melee on GameCube added Peach, the Ice Climbers (one of whom is female) and Zelda (who can transform into Sheik), essentially adding four female characters. Brawl added Zero Suit Samus (a transformation for Samus similar to Zelda and Sheik), as well as Ivysaur (whose bud type actually confirms it as female, oddly enough), putting the total female playable character count (should you count Zelda/Sheik and Samus/Zero Suit as their own fighters) to 6 out of 39. Then came Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, which split Zelda and Sheik as well as Samus and Zero Suit Samus into separate characters, finally giving those characters their own roster space, while simultaneously removing the Ice Climbers and Ivysaur. This would balance things out if they didn't add in the Wii Fit Trainer (who has a male alt-skin, but the female is default), Rosalina, Palutena, Lucina, and (as DLC) Bayonetta, as well as multiple characters with female-alt skins such as Wendy (Bowser Jr.), Mii Fighter (two times over, technically, as only the Mii Gunner is female by default), Robin, the Villager, and Corrin, adding ten new female characters in one installment. It's for this reason that the fourth installment has received praise for being much more gender-accepting. Meanwhile, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate brought back the Ice Climbers and Ivysaur and giving a female skin to the Pokemon Trainer, while at the same time adding in Daisy, the Inklings (with the female Inkling as the default) and Isabelle, while DLC character Byleth comes with a female-alt skin, as well as Min Min, the Aegis and Alex as a skin for Steve.

Cold Case: For the first two seasons, main character Lilly Rush was the only female homicide detective in the PPD. The third season introduced Josie Sutton, and since the suits didn't like her, she was Put on a Bus and replaced with Kat Miller.
