NOTE: A "distaff" is a spinning device, used with a spinning wheel and, even before that, with a spindle. (More here.) Since Textile Work Is Feminine, it's used to symbolize femininity. One common method used in creating a Spin-Off is taking the main character of the show, creating an equivalent that's mostly the same except for being the opposite sex, and then packing the new character off to her own series. This allows the station or network to fill up extra space on the schedule with a known quantity, while (in theory) stretching its demographic to female viewers. This method is very popular among action-adventure series, which mostly appeal to young males. While heroes are usually the ones to get this kind of treatment, it's been happening more and more to villains too. There's also the third kind of Spin-Off, with a long-lost sister showing up or a new girlfriend brought in, only to repeat whatever circumstances gave the main character his powers/duties/what-have-you. Just like how many female characters are defined by their relationship to the default or already established male character, many distaff counterparts are defined primarily by their relationship to the male counterpart. This can be shown through their visual properties, narrative connection, and occasionally promotional materials. They are often a wife or girlfriend, but can be a sister or friend to the male counterpart. Often, and especially if the characters in question are animals, the female character will have a bow on her head or other Tertiary Sexual Characteristics defining her as female and to set her apart from the "default" male characters. In other words, the male character or characters may have little or no stereotypical masculinizing gender specifiers, but his or their distaff counterpart or counterparts will have stereotypical feminizing gender specifiers to mark them as female. If the distaff counterpart is a girlfriend, she is usually the Love Interest to the male character. A male character who goes through the Gender Bender will find himself turned into his own Distaff Counterpart. The implications for the character, writers, and audience are left as an exercise for the reader. A male counterpart to an existing female character or Always Female trope is technically and traditionally a Spear Counterpart, named for the spearhead-shaped end of the symbol of Mars that represents males. You may also be thinking the "spear" means something else... and you'd be right. Usually tends to wear a Gendered Outfit. Compare Gender Flip, which reverses roles based on gender, rather than cloning them. If a normally gender-specific trope is played on its opposite gender anyway, that's a Gender-Inverted Trope (otherwise known as a rare male/female example). If they're fan-created, it's Rule 63. If this appeals to a fan fetish, it's a form of Fanservice. When you take this trope to its literal conclusion, you get an Opposite-Sex Clone. See also Contrasting Sequel Main Character. Contrast with I Just Want to Be Badass. The laws of probability and large numbers will in all likelihood turn this into Truth in Television eventually for most of us. |

Victoria was an odd one to Raven. While Raven was a Surfer Dude party boy who fell into a chronic depression and lashed out at the world, Victoria was a fun loving ho who liked to dance, but inexplicably became a violent psychopath. After the coming down with their mental illnesses, both gained the intense devotion of Stevie Richards. Richards in turn got a distaff counterpart in Francine, who followed him with the same devotion he followed Raven. | |

While both are genderless, the Mewtwo in the 16th Pokémon movie is more feminine than the more masculine one seen in the first one. It is also more of a pure hero, while the one in the Kanto movies was more of an Anti-Hero. | |

No Bella Twins have worked for the NWA as far as we know, however, Vendetta Pro and Ultra Championship Wrestling Zero have had matches featuring the Fella Twins. Though mostly subverted in that Tommy Puur and Chip are generally baby faces and thus don't switch. After their breakup "Boy Diva" Rick Cataldo and Eddy McQueen were quick to appropriate the gimmick in NWCY and WSU. | |

In the Caillou The Grownup episode "A Very Caillou Thanksgiving" we are introduced to Caillou's cousin Boue who's a female version of him, she wears a dress with his signature colors, is also bald but has a few thin strands tied with bows, and just as whiny, spoiled, and immature as he is. | |

GLOW could be argued to have many distaff counterparts to male wrestlers (Big Bad Mamma to Papa Shangonote who went on to much greater fame as The Godfather perhaps) but the standout example was Justice, who was a distaff counterpart to Shaft! | |

The 2005 LLF rookie of the year Tsunami was called "La Chica" Kane because it was obvious she was a big fan of USA style pro wrestling, she seemingly appeared out of nowhere to destroy people and she used a chokeslam. | |

Online web novel Pact has Rose , an alternate version of the protagonist Blake that exists only in mirrors and has power over them, and his closest ally. He and she speculate that she was created by their grandmother as a loophole in the mystical inheritance agreements that state that only a female grandchild will inherit the grandmother's manor, fortune, and impressive numbers of enemies. | |

All Japan Pro Wrestling was basically the spear counterpart to All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling, the two even having similar developments. AJW was the last surviving member of a similarly named larger organization while AJPW was a breakaway from JWA. AJW became one of the top promotions in the world by having its wrestlers beat up evil foreigners from WWWA and AGWA, and taking the WWWA title belts as its own when WWWA closed down while AJPW used a lot of NWA and AWA evil foreigners and used the NWA International Heavyweight belt as one of the foundations for the Unified Triple Crown. Both also declined in the 2000s, though the spear counterpart was able to bounce back and ended up outlasting the older company. | |

Similarly, in the Mazinger Angels manga (a spoof of Charlie's Angels) the main characters are Sayaka, Jun, Hikaru and Maria, piloting Aphrodite A, Venus A, Diana A and Minerva X, respectively. It's like your usual Crossover blending Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and UFO Robo Grendizer, but Gender Flipped: the male pilots and their robots are nowhere to be seen, and the main characters are the female leads and robots. | |

Both are groovy alt-metal bands with hard-hitting yet radio friendly sounds, frequently subject to Narm Charm with how over-the-top their music is, and have received a very divisive reception by metalheads. Fittingly. they've toured together and frontwoman Maria Brink appeared in their song "Anywhere But Here". | |

As Josie Wahlford (AKA Minerva) was the first known "World Champion" recognized by any significant part of the pro wrestling industry, the wrestler to be recognized as a World Champion among male wrestlers, George Hackenschmidt, was her spear counterpart. However, while Wahlford was recognized as wrestling champion by the United States, her status as world champion was (and is) still highly disputed, despite traveling to other countries. Cora Livingston is more widely accepted as the first World Women's Champion, and her reign began five years after Hackenschmidt's. | |

Subverted in the Bravoman webcomic. Bravo Woman is seemingly a female version of the title character. However, their powers are completely different (Bravoman has the ability to stretch his arms and Bravo Woman is a Flying Brick) and she is arguably more competent and succesful than Bravoman, who spends most of his time playing video games and less time foiling evil plots and schemes. | |

All Mixed Up!: Downplayed with Mariana Mag, the story's Big Bad. She is similar to Odd Todd only in backstory (being former Odd Squad agents who made Face-Heel Turns and enacted revenge against Odd Squad and Precinct 13579 in particular) and in how she became evil (was denied a chance to do something that she wanted, and rebelled accordingly). However, she makes it very clear that she isn't a female counterpart to Odd Todd in any way besides that. | |

Fifth Harmony - One Direction, since they both have 5 members and they both started out on The X Factor (the former in the US version, the latter in the UK version). That's not all, they both consisted of five solo artists who were put into a group after getting rejected, they both finished third, became the most successful act from their respective country's show, and they have similar shorthand names (5H and 1D). | |

In WWE, Charlotte Flair is one to Ric Flair minus the party lifestyle. She's called the Nature Girl, her entrance theme includes the famous intro of his, and she has adopted several of his moves and mannerisms (Figure 4 [though she now uses a bridging version], knee drop, strut, WOOOO, etc.). This is not lost on people; in fact the sheer number of borrowed aspects from her father has been openly criticized both in-universe by her rivals and by a growing list of detractors amongst the fans. During her time in WWE NXT, Charlotte was also part of a power stable called the "Four Horsewomen" (with Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and Bayley) which served as this trope to her father being part of The Four Horsemen alongside Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson and Tully Blanchard. This goes double as the Four Horsemen already had a distaff counterpart in mixed martial arts, that involved at least two pro wrestling fans that eventually made their way to the same shows as the NXT group. In later years, Charlotte has been compared to Roman Reigns; both are considered creator's pets who have been heavily pushed from 2015 onward and come from a wrestling family. Like Roman, Charlotte was constantly pushed for title runs, overshadowing other wrestlers to the point the more popular Becky Lynch and Dean Ambrose are nothing more than their best friends. |

Spy X Family : Fiona Frost a.k.a "Nightfall" can be considered a female equivalent to both Loid Forger/Twilight and Yuri Briar. Like Loid, she is a highly competent agent who can do a very effective job and is also a capable strategist. On the other hand, she parallels Yuri in the sense that she is also a Stalker with a Crush who has a great obsession with Twilight and is capable of making serious damage to anyone who interferes between them, even if that means eliminating Loid's own "wife". | |

Mazinger Z — Aphrodite A, Diana A and Minerva X Great Mazinger — Venus A Similarly, in the Mazinger Angels manga (a spoof of Charlie's Angels) the main characters are Sayaka, Jun, Hikaru and Maria, piloting Aphrodite A, Venus A, Diana A and Minerva X, respectively. It's like your usual Crossover blending Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and UFO Robo Grendizer, but Gender Flipped: the male pilots and their robots are nowhere to be seen, and the main characters are the female leads and robots. |

Komi Can't Communicate: Makoto Katai is basically the male counterpart of Komi. Both of them are high school students with serious communication disorders, which make them victims of some misunderstandings and Tadano is the Only Sane Man who is capable of understanding them. Katai even considers Komi his communication master, hilarious as it sounds. The real difference between them is that, while Komi is seen by the rest of her class as the big beauty of the school, Makoto, on the other hand, is treated like a creepy guy, sometimes even as a juvenile delinquent. This, of course, has unfortunate implications. On the other hand, Najimi was able to fool the self-proclaimed Elite Four delinquents in the school by telling them that Katai was Komi. In a rare cross-media example, Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible is what you'd get if you applied the Gender Flip trope to the premise of Komi Can't Communicate, with the female (Kubo) trying to befriend the shy, introverted male (Shiraishi). |

Daily Lives of High School Boys has an interesting In-Universe use. A series of stinger skits called High School Girls are Funky features Habara, Yanagi and Ikushima, three girls who look, act and talk remarkably like their male counterparts Tadakuni, Hidenori and Yoshitake, respectively. There's also Wasteful Days of High School Girls, a manga by Bino which has a similar tone and premise but with girls. | |

While not as exact as Jean Arbinkle in an episode of Garfield and Friends (see Western Animation subpage), one Garfield comic strip had Jon preparing for a date and being unable to decide which look to go for, so what he ends up wearing includes a farmer's hat, a suit jacket and he is carrying a basketball. His date, Gwen, turns up and while she doesn't look much like Jon physically, her outfit includes in a cowgirl hat and majorette jacket and she is carrying a tennis racket. Garfield remarks "God made two of them!" | |

Peter Pan syndrome is a metaphor to refer to an adult, typically a male, who refuses to grow up and prefers to be a permanent infant. The Wendy syndrome, the female equivalent, refers to an adult, usually female, having an obsessive need to satisfy others, mainly because of a fear of rejection and abandonment. | |

The Hunger Games Prequel Collection has a character called Circuit who's a male version of canon character Johanna Mason. Like her, he pretends to be weak and helpless so that the other tributes will overlook him, then reveals himself to be a deadly killer. However, while Johanna won her first Games and went on to be District 7's female tribute in the third Quarter Quell note which saw twenty-four past victors return to the arena, Circuit is killed by his district partner, Astrid, after they both make it to the final two. | |

Turns out the original Action Mask, Gotar� G�, is ready to retire after fighting crime for years, and chose a 19-year-old college girl and kickboxer, Misato Yashio, as his successor, which she initially declines but eventually gives in. Her debut even sees Action Mask and Action Musume going Back-to-Back Badasses on the villains. | |

Dragon Ball Super is very fond of this trope: Kale turns out to be one to Broly, a popular Non-Serial Movie villain. Ironically when Broly became a Canon Immigrant in Dragon Ball Super: Broly, the rebooted Broly technically became one to Kale since she was introduced into canon first. Some have called Caulifla a counterpart to Goku: she's a fighting prodigy who masters new techniques with extraordinary speed and can act rather silly and excitable when she isn't being serious. She loves the prospect of a good fight, but then all Saiyans share this trait. She's also rather uncouth and rude, but deeply caring towards her friends, much like Goku. Vados is one to Whis, though this is one at least justified by her being Whis's sister. |

Memphis Ladies Wrestling initially served as an obvious distaff counterpart to Jerry Lawler's Memphis Wrestling, with its first top stars being Lawler's then nemesis/girlfriend Su Yung (an accidental pun if there ever was one) and Tasha Simone, who opposed Yung similarly to how Simone opposed Miss Texas in Lawler's USWA. Initially. The company's gradual transition into the less regional "Magnificent Ladies of Wrestling" involved a Genre Shift, among other things. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Evil HERO Inferno Wing is a female Evil Counterpart to Elemental HERO Flame Wingman and both of them even share the exact same Fusion Materials. They share the same stats, but Inferno Wing's Monster Effects are improved versions of Flame Wingman's. Notably, since their Fusion Materials consist Featherman/Avian and Burstlady/Burstinatrix, it's not illogical how Inferno Wing ended up as a Distaff Counterpart. | |

In The Maze Runner series, most of Group B (introduced in The Scorch Trials) are the Distaff Counterparts to most of Group A. Specific examples include: Harriet to Minho as of the point where the two groups meet up in the Scorch. It is not known if Group B had any leaders prior to Harriet, but Group A have been through two leaders by the time Minho assumes the role. Rachel to Thomas. However, since the former is a Posthumous Character, she doesn't appear directly until The Fever Code (the fifth book in the series in order of publication, but the second in order of chronology) apart from in one of Thomas's memory dreams. Beth to Gally. Both go missing in their groups' respective Mazes days before each group launches their escape attempt, only to turn up in the final chamber, at which point they are manipulated into killing one of the survivors. |

Christina Von Eerie, already a member of Las Gringas Locas (with Jennifer Blake and Sexy Star, a send up to Louie "Madonna's Boyfriend" Spicolli, Art Barr and Eddie Guerrero's Los Gringos Locos) in turn got a spear counterpart in brother James Von Eerie, who dresses in a similar manner to her and recycles some of her lesser used looks, such as Sunglasses at Night. | |

The 1987 film, like father, like son can be considered the male twin of the original Freaky Friday (1976) as both movies are about parents dealing with their rebellious children who suddenly switch bodies with them. Interestingly enough, the 2003 remake apparently inspires on like father, like son on the idea of the body change being the consequence of some magical intervention. In the original, the reason for the body change is never explained. | |

Shaun of the Dead: There is a recurring female character, a friend of Shaun's named Yvonne, that is a sort of parallel universe version of Shaun. A scene where the two, along with their respective survivors, meet in someone's backyard is one of the film's highlights. At the end of the movie she appears with the British Army and saves Shaun and Liz, who are alone and have been cornered by zombies; her party's fate is assumed to have been much happier than Shaun's. | |

Along with Aladdin, The Lion King is often seen as the Spear Counterparts of the entire Disney Princess franchise (though Aladdin is technically included in that franchise due to Jasmine), as they both follow male protagonists on quests to become royalty.

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Tengen Uzui’s three wives are curiously similar to the main male lead characters, Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke regarding their basic personality traits: Hinatsuru is the peace maker and heart of the trio, like Tanjiro is; Suma is the overly emotional roller-coaster, cries and screams in fear a bit too much, like Zenitsu does; then comes Makio as brash and gutsy who’s always bickering with Suma, just like Inosuke acts with Zenitsu. The similarities are so obvious that several fan works do not let these similarities pass by unnoticed. | |

Booksmart is usually seems like the female derivation of Superbad because both movies basically have the same plot: A group of losers wants to go to the big last high school party before graduation. Although it's fair to say Booksmart takes its character arcs in a more serious tone, the movie as a whole has a heavy dramatic feeling. In the other hand Superbad works better as a comedy with many memorable jokes. Also, Superbad ends in a Downer Ending , while Booksmart apparently would follow the same way, but the last seconds of the film makes it ends in a Surprisingly Happy Ending . | |

reDRagon are either spear counterparts to the ARSION Tag Team ReDragon or the first attempt by Shayna Baszler to create a group similar to The Four Horsewomen for pro wrestling. The CamelCase suggested a mixture of referencing the older tag team with an unhealthy fixation on Davey Richards, but then Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish insisted Baszler had been the mastermind the whole time when she appeared in Ring of Honor while Baszler would later state multiple times in SHIMMER that she had been trying to duplicate her mixed martial arts career through pro wrestling... | |

Devilman Lady was spawned from Devilman, although it evolved into its own strange series. Since that name kind of doesn't make much sense, the official English version of the anime is called The Devil Lady. This was at least partially the inspiration for Kinnikuman Lady - though in that case, it's an alternate universe where everyone is gender-flipped except Meat. Instead of being about the world's beefiest buffoon, it's about the world's ditziest bimbo. Joining the "stupid, inherently contradictory name" race is Kinnikuman Lady's bestest pal Terryman Girl. |

Eyeshield 21 has The Hero Sena and Action Girl Karin. Both were recruited initially against their will to join a football team. Both are considered the best in their specialty (running back and quarterback respectively) and both Apologises a Lot with low self-esteem and being the Nice Guy/Nice Girl. The only thing really different about them is their gender and appearance. | |

Osomatsu-san gives us the Girlymatsus, a group of petty and flighty girls who form a sisterhood rather than be sisters. The biggest difference between them and the Matsunos is that most of them managed to get jobs. On the other hand, Totoko ends up being a counterpart to their base personalities rather than certain character traits; She's just as jobless, attention-seeking, and broke as they are. | |

Mandrake the Magician has Master of Disguise The Clay Camel. His modus operandi (perfect disguises and a namesake Calling Card) was later co-opted by The Brass Monkey... who turned out to be his daughter. | |
