The Lad-ette | comment |
She likes sports, beer, cars, swearing, fighting, and sex in a stereotypically masculine way. She is crude, rude, often hygienically challenged, and cheerfully ignorant and aggressive. If you are a guy, she'll probably challenge you to a fight or a drinking competition, win both and then take an aggressive lead in anything sexual that happens, before kicking you out the front door the following morning or teasing you mercilessly if she lets you stay some more. In short, she is a young woman with the personality of a Fratbro. She is the Lad-ette. Despite (or perhaps because of) their masculine personalities, Lad-ettes are generally heavily sexualised and are not likely to let any males in the company forget they are female. They usually disdain the hassle of highly elaborately feminine clothing/hair/makeup, but don't often dress in a truly cross-dressing way; Tank-Top Tomboy is a common Lad-ette style. They are also generally attractive in an Unkempt Beauty kind of way; a genuinely ugly Lad-ette is very unusual. She may occasionally invoke Blemished Beauty: a nose that has obviously been broken at least once or a well-placed scar may be part of her charms. Male characters may well be sexually interested in Lad-ettes for various reasons, whether it's an appreciation of their masculine personality and interests because they don't disapprove of laddish behaviour, because Lad-ettes have lower body modesty and a more practical attitude than more "ladylike" women and hence show more skin, or simply because of their assumed openness to the idea of casual sex. Or heck, some guys just like a girl who is going to take charge. In turn, a Lad-ette can be utterly shameless in exploiting male sexual interest for her own personal advantage. Sometimes, this woman's personality is explained by her having grown up with brothers or been raised as a boy. Sometimes many of her friends were boys, or are from rough, unhappy, flawed backgrounds. Feminine and masculine behavior are culturally defined, so another common reason for this trope is that the woman in question comes from a wildly different time or place. Note that this trope is not usually Truth in Television. Real people (yes, even frat boys) don't act like this all the time. In fact, usually, this sort of behavior is to some extent an affectation. People usually act aggressively because they feel they have something to protect: their ego, another person, a secret, etc. Lack of good hygiene can be a sign of depression or anxiety, or else a rebellion against an oppressive authority figure. Crudeness is a common trait of teenagers, since they have just discovered crude language and sexuality: so they are experimenting with it. Teenage girls just tend to do this experimentation when adults and boys aren't around, the Lad-ette is simply the girl who doesn't care. Someone who acts like this frequently may still have a softer side. Conversely, women who act more femininely most of the time may display this kind of behavior sometimes. As with many other tropes that are about women, this one is rather reductive. Also note that The Lad-ette in fiction not uncommonly winds up dropping her lifestyle in favour of something more conventional. Even if she doesn't, though, it's likely that she'll at least get a chance to fake being a regular, pretty Girly Girl — maybe on a dare, for a bet, or to attract a guy. If so, she may turn out to actually be surprisingly good with feminine things, or she may not. If the Lad-ette is attracted to women then she's a Butch Lesbian. Compare and contrast with other tropes about women who look or behave in a traditionally "masculine" way: Bifauxnen (where the girl can effectively pass as a male — though ironically while lacking most of the 'masculine' behaviour of the Ladette); her ancestor, the Pirate Girl; and her great-grandmother, who shares some of her mannerisms and points of view, but retains a more feminine image: The Flapper. If that hot girl is acting like a guy because she's not 100% girl, it's a case of Everybody Wants the Hermaphrodite. Sometimes, especially in anime and manga, one of these gets teamed up with a more-refined masculine-acting character. Also compare her female drinking mates, the Hard-Drinking Party Girl and the Lady Drunk. And, for the ideologies for and against her, see Real Women Don't Wear Dresses and Vasquez Always Dies. The Squadette may also be a Lad-ette, but it's not a job requirement. Compare and Contrast the Sweet Polly Oliver who may share some traits with this woman, or may even be this as well: but is actually trying to hide her gender. A Gender Bender plot (especially via a "Freaky Friday" Flip) can often result in a girl with a literal masculine personality who acts much like a Lad-ette. Contrast with Yamato Nadeshiko and Proper Lady; two ideals of feminine beauty (Eastern Asia and Western Europe, respectively.) Also contrast with the Iron Lady, a similarly masculine woman with a very different personality. Due to the "frat boy in a girl's body" nature of this trope, the Lad-ette is the most likely to be a female Gasshole. She's also likely to be One of the Boys. For rough ethnic counterparts to this trope, see The Whitest Black Guy and Pretty Fly for a White Guy. The Spear Counterparts to this trope would be In Touch with His Feminine Side, Camp Straight, and Camp Gay; if the Lad-ette befriends or teams up with one of those men, see Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy. |

Adventure Time: Marceline is portrayed this way, mostly due to her willingness to fight everyone and everything, as well as the sheer joy she experiences from doing so. Not to mention fitting the hygiene part too, as displayed in episodes (most notably in "Marceline's Closet") where she is seen not washing her hands after using the bathroom and remarking that her armpits stink. | |

This is in contrast with the other Tomboy of the series, Sayaka Miki, who has her moments of girlishness. | |

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony: Miu Iruma has a much more feminine outfit than Asahina and Owari, but her personality does speak for it. She's also an Ore Onna like Owari, but she takes it further with using "ore-sama". Iruma is overly confident, has a big ego, insults people a lot, and uses a lot of sex jokes. Although, her arrogance seems more like a mask than anything to compensate for her lack of confidence. She's a Gadgeteer Genius, which makes her talent less feminine than Asahina's and Owari's, but she's very proud of her beauty, notably her giant breasts (that even surpasses Owari's) that are second only to Oogami's. She also has a sexual fetish for being insulted and degraded (with Slut-Shaming clearly being her favorite form of insult to have thrown at her), so it's possible she only acts the way she does purely to provoke people into insulting her. | |

Samurai Shodown: Darli Dagger is a tall, muscular woman who chugs rum by the barrel (which she opens by punching with her bare fist), builds ships for a living, and uses a fighting style based on demolishing her foes with brute-force attacks in a series where most female characters a small and depend on agility and fast poking attacks or magic to fight. Though unlike most Ladette characters, she has a very stripperific outfit (the better to show off her rock-hard abs and biceps). | |

Dragon Age: In Dragon Age: Origins the female Warden of the Dwarf Noble and Human Noble origins tends to lean into this trope. If the Warden is a female Noble Human and classed as a fighter, her mother with express some chagrin that she spends so much time sparring, sweating like a mule. During their final confrontation, Arl Howe mocks the Female Human Noble Warden for her unladylike behaviour. Dragon Age II: Aveline can hold her own in a fight rather better than most, is stubborn to a fault, and is rather masculine in temperament; she's rather more mature and less comfortable with courtship than most examples of this trope but she certainly behaves a lot more like a male character in a fantasy game than a female one. She's also described, despite being rather calm and reserved, as being so physically strong she's terrifying. Isabela is a much better example: she enjoys her fights, drinks, gambling, big boats, and casual sex encounters, and she's not rude but loves to tease people with innuendo. A Female Hawke with the sarcastic personality definitely falls into this category, being a witty, irreverent Fight Magnet. At the end of the day she'd much prefer to head down to Lowtown and have a few drinks at The Hanged Man, instead of attending formal balls and banquets with the nobility. Likewise, their mother is exasperated that her hopes of finding a "proper" husband are scuppered because her chosen romantic partners are either an ex-Warden Apostate, a Dalish Blood-Mage, a Pirate or an Elven ex-slave. |

Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School: Aoi Asahina was already one in previous installments (see below), but she takes it further in this sequel where she has developed fighting skills, is pretty much a bodyguard for Naegi for the entire season and she ends up in a typical Short Tank outfit early on. She ditches her ruined suit top and her unstained tights and runs around in a sleeveless top and her trademark shorts she's wearing since the beginning while also carrying a guy on her back. And since the anime tends to make boobs look even bigger than they are, Asahina's already gigantic pair are much more prominent once she's wearing that top. | |

Ghost in the Shell: Major Kusanagi fits this trope perfectly when she's not working. She likes beer, drives very aggressively, likes girls, loves to scare the shit out of people, and is well known to the owners of some less reputable bars. She's also living with her boyfriend, who's also a cop. At one point, Batou even asks her if she'd ever consider switching to a male cybernetic body (which she winds up doing at the end of the original manga, even though it's a Dude Looks Like a Lady body). | |

The Simpsons: Although Marge is not an example, Homer once described being married to her as "Like having a best friend, and he lets me feel his boobs", summarizing this trope to a T. Her friend Ruth Powers would fit this more minus the frequent sex; she smokes, drinks, curses, fights with men, and likes guns. Also, when she comes back from prison in one episode, Ruth has become a bodybuilder. Mindy Simmons. She has Homer's personality in the body of an attractive woman. And she rides a motorcycle to work. |

Mebh from Wolfwalkers is a more G-rated example due to her young age; she's a fun-loving, brash, boisterous and rebellious tomboy who has no problems getting into fights when challenged. She also has questionable hygiene and even belches loudly after downing an entire bottle of milk by herself. | |

Stephanie Brown/Spoiler, later Batgirl, was a tomboy who often dressed in baggy army jackets and flannel shirts, was far more forward with romantic desires, and seemed to match all of Tim's interests. It's notable that the brief run where she got a Girliness Upgrade was considered an Audience-Alienating Era, particularly as it led to her (temporary) death. | |

X-Wing Rogue Squadron: Plourr Ilo is chaste but otherwise this to the hilt, a hard-drinking big woman with short hair and a muscular build who's more masculine than many male characters, loving a good fight. She can be soft-spoken, nice, and diplomatic — she just generally doesn't see the need. She also turns out to be a princess and manages to balance what she was raised to be with what she made herself into pretty well. | |

The minotaur Bossa Nova in Manehattan's Lone Guardian falls under this trope when she's not busy being a grouch. She considers arm wrestling to be serious business, hollers when she wins, and loudly encourages her fans to cheer for her opponent if they gave her a good match. She prefers having a job where she can use her strength, and while she's good at her clothing-related job, she only puts up with it for the sake of getting by financially. | |

The Night Unfurls has two examples without the "sexually active" part. Maia, Queen of Mercenaries, is the technical ruler of Ansur who used to be a fellow mercenary who fought alongside the Black Dogs, an all-male PMC group. She is outgoing, speaks in an informal, "dude-ish" way, and likes to hit the bar for an ale (to her, wine is a "prissy" drink). Later subverted as she develops into a melancholic Broken Bird over time, something that is Played for Drama. Sanakan may not be an adult, but she is crude, tactless, aggressive, quite vulgar, and eats with her mouth open. In combat, she charges towards the enemy while swinging a large hammer or BFS. |

Birds of Prey: Technically the whole team; Oracle just narrowly avoids it due to being a touch more feminine than the others. Dinah Laurel Lance a.k.a. Black Canary is a leather jacket-wearing, Hard-Drinking Party Girl Blood Knight and Ethical Slut who feels far more at home in a bar fight than she would playing house, and even in casual scenarios she tends to prefer wearing jeans and leather pants than skirts and dresses Depending on the Artist. As time has gone on, this has evolved to the point her costume has become Civvie Spandex, amounting to her dressing like a Shorttank with a jacket on top. Zinda Blake a.k.a. Lady Blackhawk, resident pilot. She knows how to order beer in 30 different languages, is a gifted driver and pilot, has a fondness for firearms, and pretty forward with her sexual desires. The only 'girly' thing about her is she's fond of wearing a skirt. Though Helena Bertinelli a.k.a. Huntress plays Girly Girl to Dinah's Tomboy, it's only really by default; she's just as willing to get into a fight, get a drink, and get laid as Dinah is, it's just that in casual dress she's more comfortable wearing feminine and fashionable clothes, and has interests in opera and similar tastes. From the 2011 relaunch, Starling a.k.a. Ev Crawford is a tattooed, gun-toting woman with an implied shady past. |

In Neon Genesis Evangelion, Misato Katsuragi owns a sports car she's quite fond of, is a Captain in a special military force, enjoys beer enough to have a fridge full, and is indisputably the alpha male — in this case female — of the entire show. She even nails the poor hygiene down, given the state of her apartment when Shinji first arrives. She is also a Cool Big Sis figure for Shinji and Asuka. As with Kitara (see Literature), it's strongly implied that this is just an expression of her inherently messed up psyche, caused by the mental scars she received on the day of Second Impact. | |

The Catherine Tate Show has Tate's best-known character, Lauren Cooper. She's extremely crass, rude, and disrespectful, openly insulting her teachers with stereotypes and refusing to listen to authority in any given situation. In a special sketch for Red Nose Day, she mocked then-Prime Minister Tony Blair, who turned her own catchphrase ("Am I bovvered?") back on her as he teased her. But Tate's performance as Lauren during the Royal Variety Performance topped it all. Who did she make fun of on that occasion? Queen Elizabeth II...while Her Majesty was sitting in the audience. Tate-as-Lauren even insulted her directly ("Is One bovvered? Who's watchin' the Corgis?"). Unsurprisingly (given her status as a Cool Old Lady), Queen Elizabeth laughed along with the rest of the crowd. | |

The Discworld novel Monstrous Regiment explores this. Many of the characters have been keeping up the Sweet Polly Oliver act for so long that, at one point in the story, they have a hard time passing for female. After centuries of being indistinguishable from the men, Dwarf women in Ankh-Morpork are experimenting with femininity and mostly hitting this point. Namely, they started wearing leather or mail skirts with their armor and sometimes wear make-up, or slight heels on their iron-shod, hobnailed boots. Beards, armor, helmets, axes, drinking, singing about gold, etc.—stays the same. That being said, they don't drink beer so much anymore. |

Total Drama introduced Jo in the fourth season, an overly-competitive tomboy in the extreme who wears "men's prison sweats". She even taunts the male contestants over the fact that she's a girl who's just as (if not more) athletic and tough as the boys. The one time she had to put on make-up, she insisted "It's not make-up, it's war paint." Combined with her Tomboyish Name and Brawn Hilda appearance, it's enough to make fellow contestant Lightning think she actually is a boy, leading to an amusing Mistaken for Gay scenario when in a life-threatening situation she laments that she is going to die without ever having kissed a boy. MacArthur from the Spin-Off Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race is pretty much Jo's Spiritual Successor with the main difference being that while Jo is a Jerk Jock, MacArthur is a Jerk Jock with a Heart of Gold. |

Her idea of greeting someone is by "biting" them on the cheek, and she loves to fight. When she was human, she was also this. She liked to wear dark dresses as opposed to her sister, who is lady-like in every way. She also likes to sit down on and beat up her plushies. Lacie is also this too. She sneaks out of her tower at every opportunity, does whatever the heck she wants, and even runs away to PISS her brother off when he lets her win a match. |

Detective Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn Nine-Nine is very foul-tempered, sexually confident, and violent, loves motorcycles, and owns a ridiculous amount of weapons. Her idea of a perfect first date is, "Cheap dinner, watch basketball, bone down." | |

World of Warcraft: Female orcs have something of such a vibe if you listen to their jokes. Actually, the females of most of the less conventionally attractive races tend towards this. Troll girls get to the heart through the ribcage rather than the stomach, and dwarf ladies boast about bending steel with their thighs. And worgen, well... Face it, given the focus on liquor in the game, all female characters qualify. |

Becky Lynch in The Horsewomen Of Las Vegas. She curses like a drunken sailor, can drink almost anyone under the table, will kill you without a second thought and can do it easily, and delights in infuriating anyone around her. The only time she tries to "be girly" is when she and one of her Co-Dragons, Brooke Tessmacher, seduced two EMT's so they could steal an ambulance as part of a bigger plan. | |

Penny from The Big Bang Theory. At first glance she's a girly girl, wearing bright tops and loving Romantic Comedies; however, it's very quickly revealed she was in Junior Rodeo, knows how to use a gun, often lounges around in sweats, is pretty much a slob, a hard drinker, when she cares about a video game enough she's freakin' amazing at it and she's very much the the masculine girl to Leonard's feminine guy. Three guesses who the guys go to when they need a lesson on how to gut a fish or need someone to kill a spider in their apartment. | |

Robin (1993): While she wasn't old enough to drink yet, Callie Evans was very obviously shaping into one the last time she was seen, being slightly crude while wolfishly telling her guy friends what outfits look hot on guys, sitting in a stereotypically boyish stance with an arm slung across the back of the bench, loving basketball, chopping her bob-cut into a pixie and ditching her feminine sweaters and v-necks for t-shirts and leather jackets. Stephanie Brown/Spoiler, later Batgirl, was a tomboy who often dressed in baggy army jackets and flannel shirts, was far more forward with romantic desires, and seemed to match all of Tim's interests. It's notable that the brief run where she got a Girliness Upgrade was considered an Audience-Alienating Era, particularly as it led to her (temporary) death. |

Kamen Rider Agito's Sumiko Ozawa is exceedingly blunt, making it a point to slag off anyone she has a problem with to their face. She's also a heavy drinker; in one episode, she had no less than seven pints of beer in one sitting, and she didn't come off as even slightly drunk afterwards. Then you add the fact that she's got some aspects of Wrench Wench, with her being the creator of the G3 System and all. | |

Beatrice Löwenström in Överenskommelser is pretty much a 19th century version of this trope. She's a tomboyish (but also bookish) proto-feminist, who competes with men in ice-skating and horse-riding. But despite that, and even though she's described as not that good-looking, she can also attract men if she wants to. And even though she never has casual sex, because that would have been unacceptable for a girl from her social class in that era, she has an affair with Seth before getting married to him, and that's enough for her own uncle to call her a slut. | |

Before Chie, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment deconstructs Ulala Serizawa, Maya Amano's roommate. While she doesn't fully look or even act the part (she does all the cooking for herself and Maya, wears thick makeup and a lacy dress, and even handles all of Maya's wardrobe, as revealed in Innocent Sin), she is abrasive, foul-mouthed, loves alcohol, and is an avid boxer. As time passes, we learn that it's all a cover for her low self-esteem; despite having a lot of skills under her belt, she's stuck at a dead-end job and has been swindled by a number of past boyfriends, whereas Maya has a prolific editing job and is constantly fawned on by men. This jealousy and fear that her life has no meaning comes to a head when she drunk-dials JOKER, as calling him allows the caller to kill whomever they wish, and she nearly turns into a Joker herself. Character Development helps her out with this. | |

Red Dwarf: The female Deb Lister is exactly the same as her male counterpart—the different chromosome apparently only affected her anatomy—and even beats Dave at beer-drinking (by spitting it in his face). Helped by the fact she's from a parallel dimension where male and female roles are basically swapped around. In short, women act like men and men act like women — men are even the ones who fall pregnant. Doing things like belching Yankee Doodle Dandy is still gross and slobbish, but it just makes Deb Lister a disgusting woman, in her world, the way doing things like that makes Dave Lister a disgusting man in his — it's lowbrow and crude, but quite acceptable amongst the equally lowbrow and crude. |

She-Hulk: She-Hulk, a.k.a. Jennifer Walters, when she's hulked out and less emotionally inhibited. Red She-Hulk fits this trope even more, making Jen look like a girly girl in comparison. |

Valkyrie in Thor: Ragnarok is the Asgardian version of this. She's very fond of drinking and fighting, and can be very aggressive and forceful, especially when pushed. A Deleted Scene also showed a woman leaving her bedroom, implying she sleeps around (she's bisexual according to the director and actress). | |

Fallout 3: Sydney is a merc who modifies her own guns, and, at the end of the day, uses the money she's made to get stinking drunk. The game is full of these, actually, such as Riley and Brick of Riley's Rangers, Sarah Lyons, and female Raiders and Slavers. About the only conventionally feminine women in the game are Vault-dwellers, scientists, the women of Andale, and one crazy woman in Arefu who thinks it's pre-war time and you're there to deliver her catalogues. | |

Black Lagoon: Revy has elements of this, minus the sex — at least as far as we know. Eda is an even better example, while not as much as a hardass like Revy, she drinks more then Revy, sleeps around more (as in a little) than Revy, and still kicks copious amounts of ass. Revy's lad-ette nature is quite explicitly due to her, frankly, rather messed up psyche and a reaction to the vicious, soul-crushing life she's led. Eda, however, is just naturally that way. | |

Farscape: Chiana fled her oppressive culture specifically so that she could wander around stealing stuff, getting drunk, and having casual sex. On one memorable occasion she turned up to defend a friend in court while absolutely off her head on speed. Aeryn has a few of the characteristics but is too essentially stoical and gloomy to count. As a Peacekeeper this is expected, they mostly ignore gender except for breeding. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender has two, one major character and one minor. Toph Beifong is a larval/prepubescent version of this. She's introduced fighting in the Earthbending equivalent of a Professional Wrestling tournament, deliberately has bad matters in rebellion against her coddling wealthy parents, and is glad that she doesn't have to worry about her appearance because she's blind. In a play based on her group's adventures, she's cast as a very large, muscular man. She is ecstatic. June. She spends her days hunting people and roughing them up. At night she hangs out in bars drinking and arm wrestling (she usually wins). And in the Sequel Series, The Legend of Korra, Korra herself is also definitely a Lad-ette. It's probably best demonstrated when she goes out to dinner with Bolin and they engage in a Burping Contest that she wins. Also, age has only made Toph even crustier. |

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe: Idgie Threadgood (and Eva Bates to a lesser extent). Idgie overlaps with the Butch Lesbian and Eva with the Good Bad Girl. Interestingly enough, Eva does enjoy some aspects of femininity — the book mentions that she even wears lipstick and beads to go fishing — but her fondness for beer, sex, and ungenteel company is pretty Lad-ette-ish for the 1930s South. |

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc: Aoi Asahina has some cute girl qualities, but she's very tomboyish, eats a lot, is the only girl of the franchise who is known to wear shorts on a regular basis, is very athletic, and she can be very brash. And she has very big boobs, and due to her talent as a swimmer, official art often depicts her in swimsuits, and there's plenty of eye candy from her. There's also an alternate bad ending where at least two male students end up having kids with hernote It's not clear whether Byakuya Jr.'s mother is her or Toko. She also used to go out on her balcony completely naked and rub a towel over her body every morning, not seeing anything wrong with this. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Jadzia Dax belongs to the Trill species who can fuse with an intelligent worm-like symbiont. The symbiont is very long-lived and when the humanoid body dies it is implanted into a new body, carrying all the memories and identities of all previous hosts. This creates a new individual who has lived as both men and women several times over. Jadzia (The name of the Trill, Dax is the symbiont) is usually a disciplined, intelligent, and very-well mannered officer, but off-duty can get a little bit wild — sometimes meeting up with her old Klingon friends for a night of starting drunken bar fights. Sisko also calls her "Old Man", having been friends with Dax's previous host. | |

Still Standing had Judy Miller, who was just as willing to crack open a beer and watch a Chicago Bears game as her husband Bill. She often tried to claim that she was the more "intellectual" and cultured of the pair, but often ended up getting into just as much trouble as he did. One episode even lampshaded it: Tina, the family's youngest daughter, has a spider in her room, and runs to her mother to kill it, which upsets Bill and sends him on a quest to prove his status as the "man of the house." | |

Rumors of War Illyra likes to party and have fun — which can include Conversational Troping and trashing bozos. She thinks the rest of her adventuring party (including the devil-may-care Anti-Hero) need to lighten up. She gets the closest to vice she can in a setting that doesn't acknowledge drinking, swearing, or sex. Not a straight example, however, since she wears a dress and actually has a good deal of cunning. | |

In Cerebus the Aardvark, Mary Ernestway is (depending on how generously you interpret Dave Sim's intentions, given his... unusual thoughts on feminism) either a mean-spirited exaggeration or particularly vicious deconstruction. Sim generally hates this trope, and saw Mary Hemingwaynote Ernest Hemingway's fourth wife as a prime example based on her diaries of their African safari, which he used as notes for writing her and Ernest as Mary and Ham Ernestway in the comic's Form and Void arc. Thus, Mary is loud, unnecessarily profane, tends to put exaggerated emphasis on every third word, coughs up and spits loogies like it's a sport, and is all-in-all a boorish buffoon. She also seems to take pride in the fact that she has out-"manned" Ham, who is little more than a shell of his former self and has what little personality he has left crushed whenever he's around Mary. Mary's also a terrible shot, and leads the group around in circles on their travels, leaving Cerebus and Jaka stranded in the forest in the wake of a blizzard when they flee after Ham kills himself. | |

Mass Effect: The female Commander Shepard can definitely fall here. She has a rough contralto voice, doesn't wear makeup for the most part (granted, not much point when you spend more time blasting things than dating), is just as much of a badass as her male counterpart, and can definitely hold her liquor (especially after dying and being rebuilt in Mass Effect 2). Helped by the fact that the motion capture for both male and female Shepards is largely the same, leading to a few humorous moments where if in a dress Shepard sits in a very unladylike manner. This comes up in Citadel, the final DLC for Mass Effect 3, where she meets up with Miranda Lawson. After talking about how abnormal their lives are, they try to act more "normal" by attempting to converse about more feminine things. They can't even make a full sentence about any subject. It's also lampshaded by Kasumi when she decides to raid Shepard's drawers during the party. Ash is a bit of a Cultured Badass, who talks of going for walks on the beach with her Boomstick and enjoys reading Tennyson. She's a third-generation Space Marine. Jack from Mass Effect 2 is foul-mouthed, violent, and all that. Matriach Aethyta is also this, which she says is the result of her father being a Krogan. Also Mel, a Marine who can be heard in Purgatory in Mass Effect 3 who wants to get drunk and watch asari dancers. Leads to an intervention when her male squadmates are mostly weirded out by it. Except for the one who writes her love poetry. They're going to talk to him about that next. |

The Legend of Vox Machina: Pike Trickfoot is crass, short-tempered, and loves alcohol. She once swiped three champagne flutes off a tray at a fancy dinner, drank one like a shot, and smashed the glass on the floor. When the team finds Brimscythe's hoard, she celebrates with Grog that they could be "drunk for weeks". This becomes Played for Drama as she believes it's unbecoming of a follower of the Everlight, it being revealed that her doubt is the main reason why her connection is severed. However, after receiving the Everlight's blessing and astral-projecting into Whitestone to help fight off the undead, she's back to being an enthusiastic bruiser. | |

Fallout: Fallout 3: Sydney is a merc who modifies her own guns, and, at the end of the day, uses the money she's made to get stinking drunk. The game is full of these, actually, such as Riley and Brick of Riley's Rangers, Sarah Lyons, and female Raiders and Slavers. About the only conventionally feminine women in the game are Vault-dwellers, scientists, the women of Andale, and one crazy woman in Arefu who thinks it's pre-war time and you're there to deliver her catalogues. In Fallout: New Vegas, Rose of Sharon Cassidy, a.k.a. Cass is a fairly pure embodiment of this trope: a hard-drinking, dick-joke cracking, unabashedly sexual woman. Fallout 4 has Cait, a self-serving hard-drinking hard-fighting chem-huffing Irish-born pit fighter. While she ditches the chems in her personal quest, she never loses her bloodlust. |

Charlie's Angels (2019): Sabina embodies this trope, with her boyish short hair, potty mouth, fairly masculine clothing while not on the job (undercover she dolls it up when required) and cheerful, frat boy-like personality. It's also implied she's lesbian or bisexual, as she flirts often with women and gets distracted when attractive ones are nearby. | |

Nearly every girl in Chainsaw Man, but most of all Power, who dresses sloppily, never showers, pays no mind to etiquette when speaking, and only cares about her appearance for using her attractiveness to get what she wants out of her male teammates. | |

Conan the Destroyer: Zula is a lean, muscular warrior woman who acts even fiercer than the male warriors, and her advice on how to get a man seems outright parodic of the uber-masculine stereotype, while she's a Screaming Warrior too and bares her teeth when she fights. | |

Superman: Lois Lane became this by the Turn of the Millennium. She was always a bold working woman willing to get into dangerous situations, but by the 2000s, while she still doesn't mind wearing an elegant dress to a formal occasion every now and then, both the comics and various adaptations have her longue around at home in tomboy-ish attire or sometimes in Clark Kent's old high school football jersey. And whether she's at home or out in Metropolis, Lois unabashedly loves a good pizza, a good beer, and keeping up with sports scores. Oh, and she knows how to brawl and can fight off most (non-superpowered) attackers, thanks to growing up in a military family. | |

Persona: Deconstructed with Chie Satonaka from Persona 4. She's a Tomboy who loves sports, beef, and fighting, and easily gets along with the guys, but secretly harbors a deep resentment towards her best friend Yukiko, who's both more feminine and more popular with the boys than she is. Her social link focuses on reconstructing the trope and in the epilogue of Persona 4 Golden, Chie sports a more feminine look, without compromising her tomboyish character. Before Chie, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment deconstructs Ulala Serizawa, Maya Amano's roommate. While she doesn't fully look or even act the part (she does all the cooking for herself and Maya, wears thick makeup and a lacy dress, and even handles all of Maya's wardrobe, as revealed in Innocent Sin), she is abrasive, foul-mouthed, loves alcohol, and is an avid boxer. As time passes, we learn that it's all a cover for her low self-esteem; despite having a lot of skills under her belt, she's stuck at a dead-end job and has been swindled by a number of past boyfriends, whereas Maya has a prolific editing job and is constantly fawned on by men. This jealousy and fear that her life has no meaning comes to a head when she drunk-dials JOKER, as calling him allows the caller to kill whomever they wish, and she nearly turns into a Joker herself. Character Development helps her out with this. |

Danganronpa: Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc: Aoi Asahina has some cute girl qualities, but she's very tomboyish, eats a lot, is the only girl of the franchise who is known to wear shorts on a regular basis, is very athletic, and she can be very brash. And she has very big boobs, and due to her talent as a swimmer, official art often depicts her in swimsuits, and there's plenty of eye candy from her. There's also an alternate bad ending where at least two male students end up having kids with hernote It's not clear whether Byakuya Jr.'s mother is her or Toko. She also used to go out on her balcony completely naked and rub a towel over her body every morning, not seeing anything wrong with this. Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair: Akane Owari is an Ore Onna and basically a Distaff Counterpart of Son Goku in terms of personality. She has barely any female traits when it comes to her character, but she's very sexualized, which includes sexual harassment in her backstory. Her boobs are even bigger than Asahina's, she'd rather swim naked than wear a School Swimsuit (finding it much too embarrassing to wear) and shows off more skin than most female characters. She is also simultaneously an Innocent Fanservice Girl and a Shameless Fanservice Girl at the same time. She doesn't understand why everyone else thinks her swimming naked would be bad, or that the aforementioned sexual harassment in her backstory was actually a lot worse than the mild annoyance she treats it as. Nor does she care. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony: Miu Iruma has a much more feminine outfit than Asahina and Owari, but her personality does speak for it. She's also an Ore Onna like Owari, but she takes it further with using "ore-sama". Iruma is overly confident, has a big ego, insults people a lot, and uses a lot of sex jokes. Although, her arrogance seems more like a mask than anything to compensate for her lack of confidence. She's a Gadgeteer Genius, which makes her talent less feminine than Asahina's and Owari's, but she's very proud of her beauty, notably her giant breasts (that even surpasses Owari's) that are second only to Oogami's. She also has a sexual fetish for being insulted and degraded (with Slut-Shaming clearly being her favorite form of insult to have thrown at her), so it's possible she only acts the way she does purely to provoke people into insulting her. |

The Loud House: Lana Loud, in contrast to her twin sister Lola, is as close as any girl under the age of 10 can get due to her affinity for playing in the dirt. Downplayed since she's also one of the nicer characters who rarely gets aggressive. Lynn is Lincoln's Passionate Sports Girl sister who often bullies him by giving him Dutch ovens and is very uncontrollable in general. She burps, picks her nose, takes pride in the fact that she can clog the toilet and mess up the bathroom, and loves to engage in all kinds of rough competitions. It's to the point that her alternate universe Gender Bender version is essentially the same person. Ronnie Anne is a bullish, skateboarding girl that Lincoln considers rude and gross, and she constantly pranks on him. She's also a Loving Bully and his on-off girlfriend. |

Fin from Stōked. She doesn't do "girly". In "Heartbreak Hotel", she easily out-machoes all of the guys during their "Manly Dude Weekend", to the point that the guys have gone way past the point of being emasculated and start being scared that she's going to get them all killed. Hilariously, to make her go away, they give her a taste of her own medicine. They know they can't be manlier than she is, but they can be girlier, so they start drinking tea, knitting, and gossiping. Given that she wanted to come on the Manly Dude Weekend specifically to get away from the girls and such behaviour, she gets fed up with them pretty quickly. | |

She's also set up as an obvious foil to her younger brother Kiel, who has traditionally feminine interests like romance novels and housework. However, she's actually very polite, and she has a few girly traits (such as a love of sweets) she keeps to herself. | |

In The Good Place, Eleanor is a hypersexual, alcoholic, foul-mouthed, strong-willed and uncouth woman, and in many ways is written like a stereotypical uncouth man. In fact, when she and Chidi shared a house together in episode 5, they acted like a stereotypical husband and wife but with the stereotypical gender role expectations reversed, where Chidi complains that he has to do all the chores while Eleanor is a slob. | |

One Piece: Nami skirts the edge of this trope. She's very feminine in her dress, cute in her mannerisms (when she wants something), and knows how to manipulate men (read: Sanji, not that that takes much) with her looks. On the other hand, she can out-drink Zoro, who is a bit of an alcoholic, drops the sweet talk when she isn't trying to scam you out of your money going for insults instead, and shows no fear playing hardball with men much stronger than her (even if she's just doing the negotiations, and intends to step back and let the stronger crew members do the actual beating). Of all the pirates, she probably comes the closest to "raping, pillaging and stealing." Zoro often comments that Sanji's attentions to her (and Robin, but whatever) are ridiculous taking into account that Nami is usually more of a man than the cook himself. Even if she does like to look pretty. Jewelry Bonney is a straighter example. She is a glutton on par with the main protagonist, uses rude and vulgar language (even Nami's manner of speech is still very feminine), and holds the view that pirates should be selfish and ruthless. |

Shinji was disturbed by it, so he took surreptitious steps to talk her into cutting down the booze and junk food. | |

In Sunset Overdrive, female player characters behave just like their male counterparts; only differing in their body shape and voice. Although they apparently aren't too happy about this, since switching genders sometimes causes them to complain about the writers being too lazy to give them different personalities. | |

Yakuza: Like a Dragon: Saeko is a downplayed example, in that she is is quite feminine in how she dresses and presents herself, but she still smokes like a chimney, snarks like a champion, is always up for a scrap, uses vocabulary that would make an old sailor blush and cheerfully drinks all the boys (including Adachi, who is a certified hard drinker and about twice her size) under the table. | |

2B from NieR: Automata. Don't let her looks fool you; stoic, calculated, cold, dutiful, and able to kick robot ass with the rest of the guys, she definitely has a masculine-leaning personality for these reasons and more, one of the many reasons fans admire her character. A2 as well, arguably even moreso due to possessing a foul-mouthed, bitter, angry, and aggressive attitude in contrast. |

Mega Man ZX Advent Ashe has some rather crude language and a habit of going skydiving without a parachute while carrying a customized Buster Gun which has more powerful shots than normal. She was raised by mercenaries and has a desire to make a name for herself, which explains her personality. Atlas is a Blood Knight Social Darwinist who treats everyone else gruffly and believes Misery Builds Character due to her past, which involves being an orphan and soldier of a country torn by war. To drive it home, she's the Chosen One of Model F, himself a Blood Knight who comes equipped with two giant Hand Cannons that can punch through metal obstacles. |

The Nostalgia Chick. When she's not reviewing, she'll be dressed in messy clothes with her hair down and no make-up on. In the beginning of Kickassia, she spends most of her time drinking beer and disinterestedly going along with the crowd — and it's quite clear, once the Critic becomes N. Bison, that her submissive little conservative woman persona is, aside from a dig at Sarah Palin, an act to get herself more power. She was also known by the username "The Dudette" when she joined That Guy With the Glasses. | |

ARIA: Akira is an interesting case; she definitely used to be this way in her childhood (to the point where Akatsuki briefly suspects she is actually a transvestite), but her public personality could hardly be more feminine. When not taking customers, however, aspects of this shine through. She's tough-as-nails as an instructor, and prone to competitiveness, but ironically she doesn't drink as much as Alicia (in the manga, anyways). The sex part is unconfirmable, though, due to No Hugging, No Kissing. | |

Questionable Content: Faye is like this, to a certain extent. Subverted in that she is recognized as being an alcoholic and, at times, a total bitch. Plus, you know, the daddy issues. A straighter example would be Natasha (a.k.a. Nat). No love for hygiene, rude, crude, and often inappropriate. And once passed out topless on the copying machine at her workplace. May is also a good example. She's crude, tomboyish, and wants to be a fighter jet. |

The Temeraire series. Captain Jane Roland might be an example of a Manette — which is to say, she has traits of The Lad-ette, but rather than acting like a stereotypical young man acts like an adult man, showing an easy emotional maturity most Lad-ettes don't. She smokes, drinks hard liquor, plays cards, speaks plainly, wears pants, sleeps with men she likes, and oh yeah, is in command of one of the deadliest dragons in the British Aerial Corps. All this in the early 19th century. She usually has or rather had, before being named a Peer and Admiral of the Air to fake ladylike appearance and dress outside of the coverts where the Aerial Corps spend most of their time, it is just that a certain strategically-critical breed of dragon will only accept female captains and so leeway must be granted resulting in a unique subculture. Her daughter Emily is showing every sign of taking after her, to no-one's surprise. |

Game of Thrones: Theon Greyjoy's sister, Yara Greyjoy hands down. Any woman seeking to rule over the Ironborn pretty much has to be one to stand a chance. Unlike most however it turns out she's a Butch Lesbian too. Maege Mormont wears mail and fights alongside men and leads men, which means that she is quite comfortable with the typical "masculine" banter of the soldiers and other bannermen, and has similar attitudes, laughing loudly at their jokes. |

Harley Quinn is like this in the more recent comics. When "off-duty", she likes full contact sports like roller derby and kickboxing, and, as an Anti-Hero, seems to relish melee combat, especially using blunt weapons. She also tends to eat a lot and have a pretty crude sense of humor. | |

In the Splatoon games, not only do the Inkling girls fight just as hard as the boys, Callie takes it a step further with "Bomb Rush Blush", a song about the joys of wreaking havoc with her favorite ink-dispensing weapon. | |

In Drowtales, the females of the drowolath species as a whole could be considered examples, since their sexual dimorphism is the opposite of humans and their drowussu cousins with females being the social, military and political leaders. While more conventionally feminine women certainly exist drow militaries especially seem to be full of this trope. Kiel exhibits many of the characteristics of this trope, but at 24 years old, she's still a minor for her long-lived race. Even more so after a 15-year timeskip. An adult example is Sil'lice's daughter Kadara (the one with blue facial tattoos) whose foul mouth and butch appearance caused quite a bit of Viewer Gender Confusion until Sil'lice called her "daughter" and settled the question. |

Beetle Bailey has Sergeant Louise Lugg, who's a female version of Sergeant Snorkel in most ways, which definitely puts her here, though it also means she's not terribly young or attractive. She certainly likes her beer, sports, and swearing, though, and, unlike Sarge, is sexually quite aggressive, much to the discomfort of the men at the camp. | |

Red Sonja — everything but the sex. And that's only because having sex will strip her of her divinely gifted prowess as a swordswoman.note This doesn't count as Virgin Power because she lost her virginity beforehand... by being raped. In fact, she accepted the power, and the resultant vow, to survive being raped and kill her rapists. The very first scene of Gail Simone's run on the book has Sonja being annoyed at being woken up with a severe hangover. Certain writers, such as Simone, have retconned away the notion that sex will strip her of her prowess — to the point when she hears of a swordsman with a similar vow, she thinks it insane. Post-retcon she adds sex to her list of vices. | |

Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair: Akane Owari is an Ore Onna and basically a Distaff Counterpart of Son Goku in terms of personality. She has barely any female traits when it comes to her character, but she's very sexualized, which includes sexual harassment in her backstory. Her boobs are even bigger than Asahina's, she'd rather swim naked than wear a School Swimsuit (finding it much too embarrassing to wear) and shows off more skin than most female characters. She is also simultaneously an Innocent Fanservice Girl and a Shameless Fanservice Girl at the same time. She doesn't understand why everyone else thinks her swimming naked would be bad, or that the aforementioned sexual harassment in her backstory was actually a lot worse than the mild annoyance she treats it as. Nor does she care. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Of the mane six characters, these two are the most athletic, are always ready to get dirty, and almost always prefer direct action over introspection during times of crisis. Rainbow Dash loudly boasts of her athletic feats and is prone to being socially insensitive, while Applejack tends to get down and dirty more. Also, both of them tend to cringe at anything feminine and cute, with Applejack even eating the cucumbers on her mud-mask, a particularly unfeminine thing to do. That said, Applejack doesn't fit the role as well as Rainbow Dash in that she's actually quite mature and sensible overall. Applejack's little sister, Apple Bloom, shows signs of this, particularly with her disgusting table manners in "Sisterhooves Social" that culminates in a burp gross enough that Applejack herself thinks is a perfect example of "uncouth" behaviour, though she doesn't seem to mind Apple Bloom doing it. Scootaloo tries to evoke this, since she idolizes and tries to emulate Rainbow Dash, but is actually a subversion: Her focus episodes show she is actually quite self-conscious and vulnerable. The accepted fanon personality of DJ Pon-3/Vinyl Scratch is the more adult version of this. The movie introduces Tempest Shadow, a hardened bounty hunter unicorn turned military commander. Upon her return to her old home, she despises Equestria's sugary and cute aesthetics, and in the comics expresses that she would rather replace the royal titles of princesses of love and friendship with princesses of hoof-to-hoof combat and explosions. Given her track record, she could fit either of those suggestions. |

Doctor Who: Dorothy Gale "Ace" McShane. Companion to the Seventh Doctor. A juvenile delinquent who whipped up improvised explosives in her spare time, favored Doc Marten boots and Victorian menswear, and took out two Daleks single-handedly — one with a rocket launcher and one with a enhanced baseball bat. It took an age-up and the novels for her to fully embrace the heavy drinking and casual hookups part, though the series guide says she did have a fling with space pirate Glitz while in her teens. | |

Child of the Storm has Carol, who's not very traditionally feminine; she's loud, brash, a junk food fiend, and favours her hair in a short cut. She's also sporty (being the captain of her school's football/soccer team) and generally athletic, beating her school's entire American Football team at arm-wrestling, aspires to be a military pilot like her uncle Jack O'Neill, or a SHIELD Agent like her cousin Sharon Carter and grandmother Alison Carter and great-grandparents, Peggy Carter and Steve Rogers. However, she also doesn't mind (and actually quite likes) fancy dresses every now and then, usually being her uncle Jack's plus one at parties after his divorce — what bothers her more is the behaviour that some, primarily her Stay in the Kitchen father (who wants her to be more of a Proper Lady), try to force on her. | |

Princess Winnifred the Woebegone in Once Upon a Mattress. Among other things, she gets to the prince's castle by swimming through the moat, wrestles, lifts weights, and performs all of her songs in a loud, raucous manner.

Hack/Slash: Cassie. Although she constantly looks like a stripper, she's tough, cold, and quite prone to delivering a Cluster F-Bomb. She really hates it when she drools in her sleep, though. Her diary is also bright pink (bloodstains aside...) and has a unicorn sticker on it, she even wears pink panties with hearts as seen when Bomb Queen pulled her skirt in the 1st crossover. The Resurrection series intensified this, as the now twentysomething Cassie has much fewer inhibitions about casual sex than when she was a teenager. |

TNA loudly flaunts that the TNA Knockouts (read: women wrestlers) are not the typical "divas", they went ahead and gave us the exact opposite of a diva just to prove the point, in the form of ODB, who fit this trope like a glove. Built like a brick shithouse, given to smoking, drinking, and violence, and unlikely to win a beauty contest, her name stands for "One Dirty Bitch". It was unsurprising when TNA then turned her and Jacqueline into a tag team. | |

Anita Blake, and how. Particularly pronounced as the series went on and all women except the titular character became characterized as weak, jealous, or otherwise not in contention for Anita's enormous reverse harem. Anita Blake is the distaff version of a male fantasy — where the titular character raises the dead, works for the police but also plays vigilante, and let's not forget the harem. Thirty or so men, with at least six regulars, and at least one new flavour per book. She's the biggest swinging dick in the series, and she makes sure you know it. | |

Dragon Age II: Aveline can hold her own in a fight rather better than most, is stubborn to a fault, and is rather masculine in temperament; she's rather more mature and less comfortable with courtship than most examples of this trope but she certainly behaves a lot more like a male character in a fantasy game than a female one. She's also described, despite being rather calm and reserved, as being so physically strong she's terrifying. Isabela is a much better example: she enjoys her fights, drinks, gambling, big boats, and casual sex encounters, and she's not rude but loves to tease people with innuendo. A Female Hawke with the sarcastic personality definitely falls into this category, being a witty, irreverent Fight Magnet. At the end of the day she'd much prefer to head down to Lowtown and have a few drinks at The Hanged Man, instead of attending formal balls and banquets with the nobility. Likewise, their mother is exasperated that her hopes of finding a "proper" husband are scuppered because her chosen romantic partners are either an ex-Warden Apostate, a Dalish Blood-Mage, a Pirate or an Elven ex-slave. |

Gone Girl deconstructs this by highlighting the elements of male wish-fulfillment behind it, portraying this character type (referred to as the "Cool Girl") as popular among men because she flatters their interests and biases instead of calling out their boorishness or pressuring them to get their acts together like an often-scorned Wet Blanket Wife would. The pressure to live up to the idea of the Cool Girl is partially what caused Amy to snap, fake her death, and frame her husband Nick for her murder. The full passage can be read on the Quotes page. Within the book, there's a specific example in the character of Margot "Go" Dunne, Nick's sister/Amy's sister-in-law. She's the opposite of Amy in many ways, enjoys "masculine" things such as hard liquor and dirty jokes while disliking traditionally feminine things, and is the brutally honest Only Sane Woman. However, she's also a deconstruction — it's heavily implied that growing up with an abusive and rabidly misogynistic father made Go reluctant to be seen as stereotypically feminine out of fear of being insulted and belittled by her father like her mother was. |

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: At first glance, Panty appears fairly feminine given her occasional choice of clothing and accessories, but is depicted as a promiscuous and dominating sex partner who at one point set the ambitious goal of having sex with a thousand men before returning to Heaven. Panty is also a pottymouth with a rude demeanor, and is a slob at home, a trait which Stocking points out to contrast her more orderly lifestyle. | |

Urusei Yatsura plays the trope straight with Benten and zigzags it with Ryuunosuke Fujinami. Benten is an aggressive, blunt-spoken alien girl whose biggest hobbies are fighting and riding her spacefaring anti-gravity bike. Although she's based on the "biker babe" archetype, she's as much a Boisterous Bruiser as she is sexy, and she displays no interest in guys, preferring instead to focus on picking fights and tinkering with her space-bike. Her macho antics, combined with her strong loyalty to Lum and her friendship with Ryuunosuke, have lead to fans speculating about her sexual preferences. Ryuunozuke is a hard-as-nails, foul-mouthed and highly scrappy fighter who doesn't hesitate to brutally beat down people who get her angry and once tried to rip off Shinobu's clothes so she could steal the other girl's bra for herself. However, the zigzagging comes in two forms. Firstly, Ryuunosuke is normally a very polite and well-mannered individual — still "boyish", but not in the crude sense of the traditional lad-ete. Secondly, Ryuunosuke resents her masculine attributes, which are the result of being Raised as the Opposite Gender by her psychotic father, and actively wants to become more conventionally feminine. Unfortunately, between her father's campaign to sabotage her efforts and the meddling of Ataru Moroboshi and Shutaro Mendou, who hope to exploit this drive for their own perverse ends, her efforts are doomed to failure. |

How I Met Your Mother: Robin, her dad having actually raised her as his son. Her full legal name is Robin Charles Scherbatsky Junior. Her being Canadian often comes up in relation to this, usually for laughs. Her doppelganger is also a Butch Lesbian. Lily also has some elements of The Lad-ette, participating in farting contests and speed-eating hot dogs, but is generally more girly than Robin. She also has a very strong sex drive that isn't just used to sexualize her — it's part of her personality and the source of several gender-flipped versions of jokes invoking the All Men Are Perverts trope. This is also in part justified because her mom was a hardcore feminist who didn't want Lily to conform to any traditional feminine roles, but she is still at heart a girly girl. Quite appropriate, since Ted and Marshall are In Touch with Their Feminine Sides, and Barney gets a manicure once a week. |

Dragonlance has Kitiara Uth Matar, the love interest of Tanis Half-Elven and the Blue Dragonlord. Kit is has been shown to drink with her (mostly male) soldiers, happily engage in random battle, and has no qualms about using her sexuality to further her goals or just to satisfy her boredom. Her showing these traits and her lack of inhibitions are what attracted Tanis (and indeed several other major players in the Dragonlance universe) in the first place. This may be deconstructed in that it's implied such actions have to do with her author-stated Evil alignment and below-average Wisdom; they're how she expresses the Majere self-destructive tendencies (Like Caramon's alcoholism and codepencies, Raistlin's all-consuming ambition, and their mother's detachment from the physical world). |

The movie introduces Tempest Shadow, a hardened bounty hunter unicorn turned military commander. Upon her return to her old home, she despises Equestria's sugary and cute aesthetics, and in the comics expresses that she would rather replace the royal titles of princesses of love and friendship with princesses of hoof-to-hoof combat and explosions. Given her track record, she could fit either of those suggestions. | |

Since it's a family film in the 1960s, it was pretty tame but the indications were all there. She's a smoker, likes breaking rules for the sake of it, doesn't seem to care about being punished, and the school's Mother Superior describes her as having "a will of iron". | |

She is a Sergeant Major in Mithril, drinks way too much beer, smokes a lot, is a Big Eater, and says very crude, foul language. Her hygiene is also pretty poor, as it's once shown that she left a bunch of cigarettes and at least 20 cans of beer on Tessa's coffee table. She even ran away from an arranged marriage to join the Marines (while still wearing her wedding dress). As for the sex part, she's very open about talking about it (as seen when she ruthlessly teases Sousuke and gets exasperated that he doesn't know what condoms are for). She also apparently likes it a lot, as is revealed when she finally enters into a relationship with Kurz (they engage in sex multiple times a day). | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Tasha Yar falls into this trope as well, though she wasn't on the show long enough to fully explore her character. What we see of her definitely counts, though. She wears her hair short in a quasi-military organization where it's not required, seems more than eager to jump into a fight if needed, speaks with a strong contralto voice, and when she was intoxicated by polywater, she was more than willing to take the aggressive lead in her sexual encounters with other crew members. | |
