Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy | comment |
Basically, a couple consisting of a very feminine-looking/acting boy and a very masculine-looking/acting girl. Often comes from pairing the Action Girl with the Non-Action Guy and with doses of Crossdresser, Bifauxnen, Ambiguous Gender, Attractive Bent-Gender, Unsettling Gender-Reveal, Viewer Gender Confusion, Dude Looks Like a Lady, Even the Guys Want Him and Even the Girls Want Her. Common in Gender Bender and "Freaky Friday" Flip series. Occasionally, House Husbands and their wives will fall under this trope. Compare to Understanding Boyfriend, Pitbull Dates Puppy, and Violently Protective Girlfriend. Sensitive Guy and Manly Man, Tomboy and Girly Girl, and Masculine–Feminine Gay Couple work on a similar principle, but with two characters of the same gender. The Useless Boyfriend trope can be the result of this, but not always. Most likely are Cultural Rebels. Subtrope of Stereotype Flip. Important Note: While this is usually a straightforward trope, examples can still get subjective in regards to whether or not the woman is masculine enough or if the man is feminine enough. Keep a few points in mind when editing: Physical fitness and combat abilities relative to each other is irrelevant; what matters here is their comparative enthusiasm for these things. If the boy is immature, it needs to be in a feminine way, and if the girl is mature, it needs to be in a masculine way. The girl does not have to be a tomboy, and the boy does not have to be a sensitive guy. A Dark Feminine female and/or Noble Male can also invoke this trope. Being ambiguously gay or ambiguously lesbian is not a requirement for the boy and the girl in question to fit this dynamic. If the only context is that the boy is a wimp while the girl is action-oriented, it is not enough. The girl and the boy in question do not have to be in a romantic or sexual relationship. All that is needed for them to qualify is that they know each other to some degree, and have personalities opposite to their respective genders' expectations. |

In The Grace of Kings, Gin Mazoti and her friend/lover Luan Zya fit this contrasting pairing. Gin disguised herself as a boy when younger and continues to shave her head and wear masculine dress as an adult. While she is very well-read on military strategy, she's characterized by being a very hands-on military leader with an emphasis on dirty tricks picked up from growing up on the streets. In contrast, Luan Zya was (briefly) disguised as a girl as a boy, and grew up pampered in an aristocratic family. Despite their being stripped of their holdings, Zya maintains the wide-ranging education he received as a boy as well as somewhat affected court manners, and as an adult, is a Non-Action Guy whose military contribution is in the form of gadgetry and war-room strategy. | |

Discworld: At first sight, King Verence II and Queen Magrat from (among other novels) Lords and Ladies are more Feminine Boy, Feminine Girl. But when push comes to shove Magrat has Hidden Depths and can transform into an Action Girl. Verence's "hidden depths" came when he was made King and actually took an interest in his subjects and how to improve their lives with the latest advances in agriculture. In Monstrous Regiment, The Squad is led by the nervous, book-smart Non-Action Guy Lieutenant Blouse, and Polly, the point of view character, is a Bifauxnen Action Girl pulling a successful Sweet Polly Oliver. The story actually contains several female characters who are more butch than Lieutenant Blouse. Conina in Sourcery in contrast to scrawny Non-Action Guy Rincewind, who actually began to develop a crush on her despite it not going anywhere. |

Astrid and Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon also a great example helped by the fact Astrid is One Head Taller and much more skilled in combat than Hiccup. Personality-wise, Hiccup is more introverted and creative while Astrid is stubborn and proud, so it’s satisfying when the dynamic is shifted and Astrid becomes more compassionate due to Hiccup and his Fluffy Tamer behavior. Unfortunately this trope doesn’t carry into the second movie since Hiccup is more masculine and Astrid is pushed into supportive girlfriend role. However, it is worth noting that the second movie focuses more on Hiccup and his relationship with his long-lost mother, and Astrid is shown to still be tough-as-nails in the tv shows. |

Femysade and Aqib in the novella A Taste of Honey. Femysade is taller and stronger than Aqib, has a no-nonsense attitude, and spends her time studying mathematics and physics, while Aqib is — and remains for all his life — a slight, rather weak boy who prefers to avoid conflict and work with animals. Femysade expressly chooses him as her husband because Weakness Turns Her On but later leaves Aqib and their daughter behind to pursue her scientific interests, while Aqib stays behind and takes care of Lucretia. Also, during prayer dances, everyone prefers his performance because it's more feminine — and submissive — than those of more skilled dancers. | |

Ivelisse Velez was the more masculine half of her Lucha Underground Tag Team with XO Lishus. Velez isn't the most masculine woman imaginable, especially not post FCW revival and NXT, where she was basically forced to look more conventionally feminine and retained some of that look even into The Temple, but she still wrestles in basic sports bras, tights or leotards with kick pads. XO Lishus wrestles more dolled up and in a woman's two piece cheerleading outfit. Velez does have a few acrobatic moves, but she's mostly grounded, methodical and a fairly vicious striker who favors Choke Holds while Lishus isn't just more of a highflier but dances, twerks and makes prominent use of his ass in his offense. This trope was downplayed, however, when the two became a Power Trio with the more masculine, if sleazy Joey Ryan out of mutual dislike of Jack Evans. | |

A case can be made for Elphaba and Fiyero in the stage version of Wicked. He's a Fun Personified, foppish slacker who previously existed primarily to be Glinda's arm candy, and she's a practicing witch, rebel, and active civil rights activist. | |

Homestuck: Tavros and Vriska. Tavros is a sweet, shy, kind boy with low self-esteem and a great love of animals and fairies. Vriska is an aggressive, dominating Munchkin and a Jerk with a Heart of Gold with emphasis on the 'jerk'. Karkat and Terezi fit this as well. Karkat's interests are heavily wrapped up in romance and feelings; he loves romance stories, is always eager to help others with relationship issues, and is somewhat passive and manipulative when it comes to getting things done. Terezi's interests fall more on mystery-solving and law enforcement, which is noted to be something of a violent pursuit in Troll society (given that the Trolls are an extremely violent race by nature, this is saying something), and is the more action-oriented and aggressive of the two. |

Peter Quill and Gamora (Guardians of the Galaxy), Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne (Ant-Man), and Peter Parker and Michelle Jones (Spider-Man: Homecoming Trilogy) from the Marvel Cinematic Universe all follow this dynamic to some extent. Quill, Scott, and Peter are not afraid to show emotions whereas Gamora, Hope, and Michelle are all more hardened to the point of being The Stoic. In all three pairings, the man is also less aggressive than the woman. | |

Things Fall Apart has shades of this with Nwoye and Ezinma, the two children of Okonkwo who get the most focus. Nwoye is the oldest of all his kids, but is too sensitive to live up to Okonkwo's expectations of a manly man; meanwhile, he outright says that Ezinma should have been a boy, as she's more assertive and prone to getting her way. | |

Rio has the two main macaws, Jewel and Blu, provide an example of this trope, especially during their early interactions. For a vast majority of the film, they are chained together, and whenever Jewel tries to get both of them into a risky situation, Blu keeps chickening out. The trope is downplayed in the sequel since Blu has now learned to fly and manned up a bit, and Jewel is a sweet wife who is accepting of his faults. | |

He's a girly, weepy psychopath who likes to be dominated. Also done in Suburban Knights with Lupa/Critic when she's out of character. She pulls Critic around by his tie, will teach him how to be ladylike whether he likes it or not, and eventually pulls out a gun against the enemies while he's learned his "bending like a girl" lesson. The Heavy Metal review gives us him and Diamanda Hagan. She's a Butch Lesbian, he goes for manicures and eyebrow waxing. The Nostalgia Critic's attraction to toppy women is so strong that there was one girl he dated that made even his parents worry, and if you know about his parents, that says a lot. |

By our standards, this is the default in the world of A Brother's Price. Men being so rare they are kept protected and secluded, and internalize a set of gender roles that encourage softness, vulnerability, passivity, physical attractiveness, and affinity for the domestic sphere, while women run the world and are just about universally more assertive, daring, and calculating. A little girl in tears over a cut on her knee is even told that big girls don't cry. By his world's standards, Jerin is actually rather feminine, as he works to escape when captured and does know how to ride horses, pick locks, read, and use a gun - although he's quite stricken when he actually fires it. | |

A non-romantic example in Hetty Feather by Jacqueline Wilson. Heroine Hetty is tough, feisty, outspoken, opinionated, proactive, and sometimes physically aggressive; while her foster brother Gideon is shy, passive, sensitive, fearful, and cries easily. Lampshaded in one scene where they are told that upon leaving the Foundling Hospital, Hetty will be sent to work as a housemaid and Gideon sent to the Armed Forces. They both agree they would each rather go into the opposite profession. | |

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc: Makoto Naegi and Kyoko Kirigiri are a non-romantic (aside from a little Ship Tease) example. It's based on personality rather than appearance; Kirigiri is aloof, proactive and willing to take risks, while Naegi is friendly and understanding, but more passive. Kirigiri is also taller than Naegi (granted, he is the second shortest in his class, along with Aoi Asahina, And she saved his ass a bunch of times during the game. There's a reason the fandom considers Naegi the heroine and Kirigiri the true hero, after all. In the sequel to both this game and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Danganronpa 3: The same couple makes a reappearance, having survived the last game. Their relationship has clearly developed into something more romantic, but personality-wise, they're pretty much the same. Kirigiri is also Naegi's superior in the Future Foundation. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony: While averted in terms of appearance, Kaede Akamatsu is assertive, is quick to take a leadership role, and is paired with the shy and reserved Shuichi Saihara. |

Their typical roles in the narrative are reversed, too- Nalu is captured by the Big Bad's minions, and Nori must brave the ocean's dangers to save him. Barbie and the Three Musketeers has Corinne and Prince Louis; the former, while not afraid to show her feminine side, is an Action Girl and musketeer-in-training, while the latter is a sensitive scientist who ends up a Distressed Dude multiple times. |

Romeo and Juliet by their time's standards. Romeo is the one with emotional reactions for better or worse, whereas Juliet is more practical and stages their doomed escape. In fact, Romeo's Hot-Blooded nature puts both of them into HUGE trouble when he kills her cousin, Tybalt, to avenge the death of Mercutio, and Juliet is the one who, with the help of a local priest, tries to brew a plan to get both of them out of it. Romeo kills himself with poison, which is considered a feminine way to commit suicide, whereas Juliet uses Romeo's dagger, which was a weapon used typically by men. | |

Unfortunately this trope doesn’t carry into the second movie since Hiccup is more masculine and Astrid is pushed into supportive girlfriend role. However, it is worth noting that the second movie focuses more on Hiccup and his relationship with his long-lost mother, and Astrid is shown to still be tough-as-nails in the tv shows. | |

Played with in Macbeth, with Lady Macbeth being the more aggressive and ambitious of the two. In fact, as soon as she finds out about the witches' prophecy she immediately begins formulating how to kill Duncan. While Macbeth is torn with internal guilt about his feelings, she's the one that goads him into doing it by questioning his manhood and saying he has no courage. Of course, after the murder, they "switch back" with Macbeth turning into a kill-crazy tyrant and Lady Macbeth so wracked with guilt that she goes insane. | |

In Digger, due to the matriarchal nature of hyenas, gender roles are reversed and this arrangement is the norm rather than the exception. One character, a scrawny skin painter, has to compete with every other male in the tribe for the affection of their strongest warrior. This is based on real life, where hyenas are basically matriarchal and males tend to be pretty battered. | |

Subverted when you learn that Desireé first fell for Ron when he protected her from a mugger. A Double Subversion occurs when you find out that he rescued her through high-pitched shrieking and wildly flailing about, and that it was Desireé that leaped into action first. | |

In general, Wonder Woman's relationships with non-super powered men like Steve Trevor or even Batman, scream this trope. Since Diana metaphorically "wears the pants" in each relationship, the best guys like them can do is hold her back and be a cautious moral guide when it comes to mankind, due to her belonging to a Proud Warrior Race. Though this only became apparent in later adaptations as the proud warrior aspect of her character is a relatively new and often controversial addition and she was more of a Girly Bruiser in previous continuities. | |

But when push comes to shove Magrat has Hidden Depths and can transform into an Action Girl. Verence's "hidden depths" came when he was made King and actually took an interest in his subjects and how to improve their lives with the latest advances in agriculture. | |

A non-romantic example in Little Women between Jo and Laurie — she's a no-nonsense, unmannered writer who feels uncomfortable in the presence of females, talks about her gender in a manner incredibly reminiscent of transgender people today, and finds sentimentality utterly repellent. He's an artist and a musician, is stated many times to have an acute sense for the beautiful, is initially (before his best friend stirs up his mischief and college gives him a gutter mind) described as always sweet and gentle, a hopeless romantic to the point of total despair when his heart is broken, and unfailingly sentimental. Just to clarify: Yes, Jo is the girl and Laurie is the boy, and those are both nicknames of their own choosing. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth, aesthetically at least. Jaime is said to be so handsome it spills over into "pretty" territory (although he's also widely regarded as the greatest living swordsman prior to losing his right hand, at least), while Brienne is known for her unattractiveness and her un-lady-like habits of wearing armor, wielding a sword, and beating the crap out of people who piss her off. They form something of an uneasy Battle Couple in A Storm of Swords. As people have observed, one of the fun things about them as a pairing is that they are very much a "beauty and the beast" couple... but which one is which changes depending on if you're talking about looks or about personality. Jon Snow and Ygritte also seem to share this dynamic, much to Ygritte's amusement. An additional example is a sibling pairing rather than a romantic one—Jojen and Meera Reed. Jojen is a frail, sensitive and psychic boy, and Meera a physically-inclined girl who protects him. Another sibling dynamic, Theon and Asha, also qualify. The Star-Crossed Lovers Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen, Jon Snow's possible real parents, also had this dynamic. Lyanna was a vivacious, brave tomboy who loved to ride and was almost certainly the mystery knight known as the Knight of the Laughing Tree at the Tourney at Harrenhal. Rhaegar, a bookish, melancholy Long Haired pretty boy, while a noted swordsman, was a musician first and foremost, who only became a warrior because he believed the prophecy of the Prince Who Was Promised applied to him (and wasn't as good as Robert Baratheon, as was demonstrated fatally at the Battle of the Trident). |

Siblings Maria and Rudy Strongwell from Rain (2010) are a slightly Downplayed example. Maria is a tough and feared tomboy while Rudy is an effeminate, flamboyant, and sassy kid. As the comic goes on, we learn that Maria has quite a lot of stereotypically feminine interests/hobbies and that while Rudy certainly plays into the Gay Best Friend stereotype a lot more, he is much more defined by his Cannot Keep a Secret tendancies and impulsive behavior than any stereotypical Camp Gay traits. | |

Peanuts: Initially, Patty and Violet's aggressiveness (both when they liked him and when they didn't) was meant as a foil for Charlie Brown's nature as a loser and a doormat. But then Shermy, who was also mean to Charlie Brown, was displaced by Linus and Schroeder, who are largely sensitive and introverted, while the girls' side gained the often ill-tempered and violence-prone Lucy and full-on Tomboy Peppermint Patty. Even Charlie Brown's own little sister Sally turned out to be an outspoken, in-your-face type. Of note is that of the four unrequited crushes in the strip, three are a girl pursuing a boy (with varying degrees of aggressiveness), and the fourth involves a character who's never even seen because frankly, that's the only level below being Charlie Brown. | |

The fact that, despite this dynamic, Shirou still insists on taking up a Stay in the Kitchen attitude (at least at first) which generates a lot of the sentiment among the fandom, which leads them to miss how Shirou's reasons behind that are... well, more complex. | |

In the Warhammer 40,000 Ravenor novels, Patience Kys and Carl Thonius are described this way. Hyper intelligent, scholarly dandy Thonius is frequently referred to as a pussy, frequently by Patience herself, a vicious battle telekine. This might be entirely fair, as the novel mentions that anything short of an Astartes in full battle plate is a pussy compared to Patience Kys. | |

Princess Winifred the Woebegone and Prince Dauntless the Drab from Once Upon a Mattress. Winifred is a plucky Tomboy Princess who likes to wrestle, crosses the castle moat by swimming through it, and is nicknamed "Fred". Dauntless, on the other hand, is an innocent, sensitive guy, is the more romantic of the two, and is so meek that the idea of him confronting his evil mother is seen as genuinely shocking. | |

Marcus and Caitlys in The Arts of Dark and Light would be a somewhat downplayed example. Caitlys is not exactly unfeminine, but she is a Magic Knight from the elves' secular culture, while Marcus is a kind-hearted and devout scholar type without combat experience (when they first meet). She saves him from villains several times, including once when he tried to Save the Villain and got backstabbed for it (whereas she wanted to just kill the guy all along). | |

In most variations Clark Kent aka Superman is a mild-mannered Momma's Boy from Kansas while Lois Lane is an outgoing, fiery determined city girl. Ironically Clark being more meek made his masculine alter ego Superman more attractive to Lois despite hanging out with Clark every day (or vice versa, depending on the continuity). They worked it out in the end though. | |

PJ and Beret Girl in An Extremely Goofy Movie have a lot of things in common, but they also have a few major differences in that Beret Girl is bold, aggressive, and flirtatious, while PJ is a timid, passive Insecure Love Interest. The couple inverts No Guy Wants to Be Chased, as Beret Girl takes the lead at every step in their relationship, and PJ enjoys this, contrast to how Beret Girl was annoyed by Bobby's attempts at flirting moments beforehand. Beret Girl also has a significantly deeper voice than PJ and is not much shorter, as well as going out of her way to protect him early on. | |

Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark in The Hunger Games trilogy are often called "The Star-Crossed Lovers from District 12" because of their romance while in the Hunger Games, where only one can survive. Katniss is a determined fighter and an excellent archer. Her strategy is to put on a brave face so as to not appear weak. Peeta is more expressive of his emotions as seen in his tear-stained face, artistic talent, and public confession of love for Katniss. | |

Little Busters! has Kurugaya and Riki. While Kurugaya is definitely feminine in appearance - via her Buxom Beauty Standard figure - she's a very competent, intelligent, intimidating Action Girl who loves to dote on her cute classmates as a Cool Big Sis. Riki, being a rather short, feminine-looking, shy guy, is very much included in her 'cute classmate' category. This causes him a bit of angst in her route as he feels like he should be acting cooler for her, but Kurugaya genuinely enjoys taking care of him, and by the end, he's happy with seeing her occasional cuter side. | |

In Warrior Cats, Ivypool and Fernsong. Ivypool is a she-cat and one of the toughest fighters in the Clan, who survived literal Training from Hell, while Fernsong is a gentler tom. Ivypool wasn't certain about having kits since she didn't want to spend a whole six moons in the nursery, but they decided that once the kits were weaned, Fernsong would move into the nursery to take over their care until they became apprentices. His name is also often considered feminine by fans since both halves of it have been used more often for female characters. | |

Wyldstyle and Emmet from The LEGO Movie. Wyldstyle is a feisty, stern, and no-nonsense Action Girl who actually shows competence in master building, while Emmet is a clumsy, childlike Butt-Monkey who is overlooked by his comrades and is useless for a good chunk of the film. He does take a level in badass near the end, though, when he truly becomes a Master Builder. Wyldstyle is also the Masculine Girl to Benny's Feminine Boy, given that she's a tough as nails motorcyclist and Benny's an overenthusiastic astronaut. |

In Sticky Dilly Buns, Ruby and Andy grow into something like this pattern. Andy may be a well-muscled professional lifeguard, but people respond more to his looks than his personality in a way that would look classically sexist if he was a girl, and turns out to be borderline asexual, while Ruby, despite being something of an introvert, is more proactive (eventually being the one to initiate a sexual relationship), can look aggressive because of her insecurities and touchiness, and usually dresses in a relatively plain but smart style. In the end, although they have genuine mutual affection, she's using him for stress relief while he just wants her to be happy. | |

Possibly Redlance and Nightfall from ElfQuest, although the elves don't quite go for the same kind of gender stereotyping that humans do. More to the point, the siblings Suntop and Ember. When trying to get a studio to do an animated version of the comic, Executive Meddling said that you can't have a calm guy and a tomboyish girl, and this is one of the reasons the author quickly abandoned that studio. | |

In the Dragon Rider series by Cornelia Funke, Lola is a daredevil Action Girl. Twigleg, by contrast, is timid, sensitive, and much more at home with books and computers than with having hair-raising adventures. However, he and Lola often have to work together (as he is the only other person small enough to fit into Lola’s miniature aeroplane). By the second book, A Griffin’s Feather, they have become close friends, and Lola is highly protective of Twigleg. | |

A foster siblings variation with Raven and Charles in X-Men: Apocalypse. Both are mutant activists, but they use different methods when saving the world one mutant life at a time—the sister is more "active" and the brother is more "passive." Mystique is a forthright Action Girl who travels around the globe and regularly employs violence to free mutants who are in physical danger; she tells Caliban that she doesn't care what they do with their newfound liberty. Professor Xavier, on the other hand, is a sweet Non-Action Guy who remains at his home/school and coaches his mutant students on how to master their inherently hazardous abilities so that they're no longer a threat to themselves or to others, while at the same time nurturing them as individuals. In the final scene, Raven assumes a stern, no-nonsense approach when training the X-Men for combat, whereas Charles will continue to educate their minds and provide emotional support. | |

Mortal Engines: Tom and Hester fit this trope, especially in the first half or so of the first book of the series. Hester hides her emotions, doesn't talk much, is a badass Action Girl, and is used to dealing with the rough world beyond the cities without complaints. Tom, on the other hand, is sensitive, emotional, naive, and is constantly shocked by the rough-and-tumble world around him. As the series goes on Tom becomes tougher, while Hester sometimes shows quite a bit of her emotional side, so this trope isn't always in effect — though there are still parts in the later books where Tom very clearly fills the more traditionally "feminine" role in the story, with Hester acting "masculine." (For example, towards the end of Predator's Gold — for much of the book Tom seems to fit the "masculine" mold more so than Hester, but towards the end, Hester becomes very protective of Tom, keeps him out of harm's way, and plays the macho action-hero while Tom fills a more sensitive and support-oriented role). | |

In Phenomena one got the elven twins Alk and Ilke. Alk is gentle, mature, prefers reading compared to adventure, and doesn't really like fighting. Ilke on the other hand loves sparring, lies sometimes, is quick to action, hates admitting it when she's scared, loves adventure, and is all around a bundle of fun. This also makes some conflict between them as Alk fulfills the prophecy because he has to but prefers being with his girlfriend, while Ilke follows her heart and wants to save their people and others who are victims to slavery because she wants to. It's not a gender inverted Women Are Wiser either as Ilke does pick up things they have been taught even though she maybe daydreamed through the lesson. | |
