This trope is a specific variant of Tomboy and Girly Girl applied to a mother/daughter pair. The mother generally ascribes to the feminine norms of the time (such as a Proper Lady in period works or a Housewife from the 20th century onwards) while the daughter is a Tomboy who generally dislikes more girly things. The mother then disdains her daughter's lack of femininity and may take steps to induce a Girliness Upgrade, often with mixed results. More realistically, she might also worry about her daughter's future, especially in settings that are very strict about gender roles. Meanwhile, the daughter might be tomboyish in part because she is rebelling against her mother's aspirations for her, especially if she has a girly sister or cousin to whom she is often negatively compared. In period works, the Tomboy Princess and Spirited Young Lady may clash with more traditionally feminine older relatives. This can be played in several ways. The mother might be a very strict Fantasy-Forbidding Mother who repeatedly brings up that she Wanted a Gender-Conforming Child, or an Open-Minded Parent who is accepting of her daughter from the get-go — bonus points if she Used to Be a Tomboy (or at least less girly) but settled into a more feminine role in adulthood. She and her daughter may be distant because of their differences or very close despite them. Similarly, the daughter may stand her ground or experience Tomboy Angst. The important thing is the generational contrast between the two female characters because this trope is often used to show changing gender norms. The mother is usually the embodiment of Acceptable Feminine Goals and Traits, and her treatment of her tomboyish daughter's personality and hobbies is emblematic of the changing times — society is increasingly accepting of women who take up traditionally 'masculine' pursuits, although old-fashioned characters may still be scandalized. For this reason, the daughter is usually the more sympathetic character, or at least the one the audience is expected to root for. Subtrope of Tomboy and Girly Girl and Like Father, Unlike Son. Compare Jock Dad, Nerd Son for a loose modern gender inversion. See also You Go, Girl! and Stay in the Kitchen for other plots about girls trying traditionally masculine activities. Related to Women Are Delicate — the mother may ascribe to this perception, but the daughter challenges it. |

The Princess: The princess, a tomboy who likes to fight and is well trained in doing so, has a demure Proper Lady mother in the queen. Unlike in many examples however, it was her mother who had her trained to fight, quietly supporting her daughter while her father the king is not happy at all when learning about her unfeminine activities. | |

Honor Harrington: Honor has shades of this with her mother Allison. Allison is a geneticist, small, beautiful, and from the planet Beowulf that has a very open attitude to sex. Honor is a naval officer, is 6 foot 2, and always felt plain and was content as one of the lads' after some unpleasant experiences at the Naval Academy. While not at each other's throats, Honor was always jealous of her mother's beauty and for her part, her mother was perturbed by Honor's lack of sex life. | |

In Umineko: When They Cry, Natsuhi and Jessica Ushiromiya have this dynamic. Natsuhi is refined and tries her hardest to be a Yamato Nadeshiko (despite being a bit too high-strung to play it straight), while Jessica is feisty and tomboyish. Natsuhi clearly Wanted a Gender-Conforming Child, as she often wishes Jessica would be more ladylike. | |

The relationship becomes more strained as Sally starts questioning her domineering and insecure mother's beliefs and toxic traits and the girl adopts a style as preppy as her Grace Kelly esque mother but favors jeans and sweaters rather than shirtwaist dresses. | |

Hazbin Hotel seems to play with this trope regarding the main character Charlie and her mother Lilith. While Charlie is certainly more feminine than her partner Vaggie, she still is more comfortable wearing tuxedos than wearing dresses and is no slouch in fighting. Lilith, in contrast, is always seen in pictures in dresses as a "proper" lady. | |

Ayakashi Triangle has a Gender Bender-induced example: Matoi is an opulently-dressed Lady of War. Her child Matsuri was originally male, then turned female, but continues to dress and act like a boy—which makes for a visual contrast because they otherwise look near-identical. Matoi has expressed a preference to Matsuri to remain a girl, and is seemingly trying to get him to become more feminine. | |

In PreTeena, harassed mother Tess Keene manages to look casually presentable and stylish in a well-dressed feminine manner. Older daughter Jeri is obsessed with appearance, style and makeup. Eleven-year old Teena, however, is a tomboy who prefers slopping around in jeans, or shorts, and t-shirt. She absolutely hates formal occassions where she has to wear dresses. Her idea of clothes-shopping is to spend no more than five minutes in locating a new pair of jeans and four or five t-shirts, and any time spent above this is time wasted. Her mother despairs. | |

Darby, her daughter, has a slightly tomboyish look in contrast. While she also has long hair, Darby eschews more feminine outfits (like her mother wants her to wear), for shirts and jeans. She's also more bold and unladylike in her attitude. | |

American Girls Collection: Felicity Merriman is the tomboyish protagonist — she would rather explore and ride horses than sit and do embroidery. Her mother Martha is a Proper Lady from a well-to-do family who expresses exasperation at Felicity's tomboyishness and wishes that her daughter matures into a genteel young woman. Throughout the series, Felicity matures but her mother accepts her less conventional hobbies and interests (even where Felicity would run her father's counter at their store when he is away). Kit Kittredge's mother (at least before The Great Depression wrecks the family's financial stability) is a housewife who loves hosting garden parties and wants to give her daughter a pink, princess-themed bedroom. Kit, however, is much more into baseball, writing her own newspaper, and idolizing real-life career women like Amelia Earhart. |

Brave: As a Rebellious Princess, Merida is a Fiery Redhead, wears her hair messy and wild, gets along well with her father, and has hobbies involving archery, horse archery, the sword, and rock climbing. On the other hand, Queen Elinor has brown hair and has been pressing weaving, manners, and other elegant pursuits on Merida to little avail. They really don't see eye-to-eye as the film starts, but when Merida has to be diplomatic with three angry clans of warriors and Elinor has to help her daughter fight off a supernatural threat, they start to understand their viewpoints. | |

Moana: The fearless and adventurous Moana and her tradition-following mother Sina. Moana would like to sail the ocean like her father did when he was younger, but both her parents don't approve of that because it's too dangerous, and Sina encourages Moana to follow her father's rules. | |

In Mulan, Fa Li is an accomplished Housewife and Proper Lady. Her daughter Mulan is fairly feminine, but questions her destiny of ending up in an Arranged Marriage, fails at all her attempts to be an acceptable bride-to-be, and flourishes as a warrior when she runs away to join the army in her father's place. Note that Mulan's masculine behavior is atrocious and she eventually finds success by striking a balance between "masculine" and "feminine" skills. | |

In Little Women, Jo is the most tomboyish of the sisters, being outspoken, rebellious, and thoroughly against romance and her sisters' more feminine goals and traits. In contrast, her mother Marmee is a strong and humble Proper Lady and Housewife who often imparts parental wisdom on her. Marmee once confesses to Jo that she once had a Hot-Blooded temper to rival Jo's but learned to control it; true to form, Jo matures into a more feminine Spirited Young Lady. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Catelyn is a tried and true Proper Lady, while her middle child and second daughter Arya is a wild and rambunctious tomboy. Although Catelyn's husband Ned indulged Arya's hobbies like sword fighting and horseback riding (in part because of her resemblance to his famously tomboyish deceased sister Lyanna), Catelyn expresses concern about Arya's future, was critical over her lack of feminine skills, and takes pride in the fact that Arya's feminine older sister Sansa was "a lady at three." | |

Joyce and Chloe Price, as seen in both Life Is Strange and its prequel Life Is Strange: Before the Storm. While no pushover, Joyce cooks, dresses in a typically feminine manner, and generally accepts her second husband David's conservative outlook on life. Chloe, on the other hand, dresses in a much more typically masculine style, has cut her hair short, and absolutely cannot stand David. Interestingly, neither party is presented as wholly in the right, and while they may sometimes not get along, both of them deeply love each other. | |

Trigonometry: Ray not only goes by this Tomboyish Name, compared to her mother her clothing style is more androgynous or masculine, though she'll wear dresses as well. Her mother though finds her usual outfits ugly, urges that she put on dresses to look beautiful, and dislikes that she also got a tattoo, having a far more feminine style herself. This causes some strain between them. | |

Stranger Things implies this to be the dynamic between Max and her mother Susan, which is confirmed and expanded on in the tie-in novel Runaway Max. Max (a Tomboyish Name for Maxine) is a tomboy who skateboards, drives, plays video games, and hangs out with a group of guys. Susan is dainty and frustrated with Max's tomboyishness. | |

This is a major sticking point between Katarina and her mother in My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!. The original Katarina was spoiled but still well-behaved (when she wasn't acting the Alpha Bitch) and active in her engagement to Prince Jerod but the Katarina after regaining her Past-Life Memories is the opposite. Her less than ladylike hobbies such as farming and tree-climbing, and her complete lack of proper decorum for the daughter of a duke (much less the fiancee of a prince) infuriate her mother to no end, leaving her as literally the only person in the story who can't be won over by her simpleminded charm or quirkiness. | |

Blodeuwedd and Kari from Dead In Vinland. Blodeuwedd is a housewife and excellent cook, who's always trying to convince Kari to cook, clean, sew, and other traditionally feminine tasks. Kari is rude, snarky, and impatient, has a Hair-Trigger Temper, wears trousers, and would much rather go hunting with her dad and explore the Island of Mystery they've ended up stranded on. Blodeuwedd even tells one of the male characters that she wishes she had a daughter like him. Complicated in that Blodeuwedd is also an axe-wielding Lady of War who's the best tank in the game. | |

Freaky Friday (1976) has feminine pink skirt wearing housewife Ellen, and her rambunctious skateboarding jeans-and-sneaker preferring teenage daughter Annabel who then swap bodies and learn about each other's lives. The later Freaky Friday (2003) looser adaptation of the same source book departs from this with career woman psychologist Tess and rocker-chic teenager Anna who both are more on a grey area of the Girly Girl to Tomboy ratio. |

House of the Dragon establishes this dynamic between Aemma and her daughter Rhaenyra from their very first scene together. Aemma, a demure Proper Lady, has to explain to her strongly-opinionated tomboy of a daughter that her role as a woman with royal blood is to provide heirs for the Realm. Rhaenyra dismisses her mother's words and tells her she would rather be a knight who rides to battle and glory. Guess who ends up having 5 children in the end. | |

In Child of the Storm, this is one of the many reasons that the Danvers family is so dysfunctional. Carol (the daughter) is a sporty, assertive, tomboy. Her mother, Marie, on the other hand, seems to be a typical housewife who puts up with her husband's emotionally abusive attitude with little complaint, never explaining to her daughter why. note The short version: she Refused the Call despite her mother's urging, seeing what it did to her mother and her little brother, and is terrified of Carol embracing it. Once this is explained, Marie's Hidden Depths are revealed (Harry picks up on them almost immediately), and she resolves to put aside her fears and be proud of her "scrappy little warrior maiden", and the two get on much better. She also effectively kicks her husband to the curb once she discovers how far he was really willing to go to make Carol more traditionally feminine (get Harry to Mind Rape her. Harry reacts badly to this suggestion). | |
