How feminine/tomboy do you like female characters to be?

I like option 3 the most. By "look feminine" I mean you can take one look at them and know that they're female.

You can look at Revy, look at Yoruichi, etc. and know they're female. So they "look feminine."

There are characters who look "more" feminine than they do, or act less aggressive, but still boyish. So 3 has a big range.

My avatar fits number 3, too. She is slightly more feminine than the two named above.

Options three and four are the best, but I chose four. Sadly, I've found less than 5 manga like that. As for option three, literally one of my favorite characters fits this.

Edit: Out of curiosity, does anyone have examples for all types listed here? As for what I chose, Saotome Senshu, Maki from All Rounder Meguru, and I guess Tomo-chan fit it. For type three, the character I was talking about was Pariya Togonosh.

For me I like pretty girls who act like girls and also girls acting like girls but when there is a danger near them or some sort of situation that needs quick reaction they at once kick intruder's ass, like Mouri Ran from Detective Conan.

✅ Look and usually act "sweet" but be ready to kick ass if pushed around.
✅ Look feminine but act like "one of the boys."
✅ Look like a boy and act tough, but reveal feminine traits over time.
✅ BRICC. (can tell they are female, but they have big muscles)


I can absolutely go for all four of these types here. As for the "Look and act "sweet" always" type... she'd better have a DAMN good personality to match. I find it super boring and dry unless they're also a bit of a klutz or super funny, or have something to offset the total lack of character that type generally has.

I really like tomboys, but "normal" sweet girls are ok too.

about as Traditionally Feminine as can be, albeit with some unusually Geeky personal hobby preferences,
such as Video Games and Plastic Model Building...

Second option more-or-less fits the personalities of my 3 favourite characters, so I'll go with that. But most of all I like them to dress femininely (Skirts, Dresses, Tights, Thigh highs etc).

that's complicated, I like sweet feminine girls but they have to do something on their own, I mean I don't like them to be absolutely incapable of managing a situation. Also, I don't like them when they're super shy and scared of boys

Variety is always good, I'm on board as long as it isn't something too masculine, which is open to interpretation, of course.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

If we are talking about looks, then she just gotta be cute, IDC about anything else.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Don't really have much of a preference as long as it's not a violent tsundere or doesn't look like Sakura from Danganronpa


As for I like her or not depends on her overall personality and role in the story.

I'm fine with all of these, tbh.

But I really like my anime girls looking really cute, while being total badasses, so I'm going to go with the third option.

I don't mind the occasional tomboy character as long as we don't take it to extremes. this thread implies you want all characters to be tomboys which would be a bad thing and very boring.

tomboys are just women with great tits dressed casually for the most part
I may make you feel but I can't make you think.

Femme fatale applies to all of the poll except the first and last option.

This is interesting. This post is also mainly for future me to see what I thought/think.

I mean female characters are female characters, and I don't think I should determine how female characters "should" be. Many a time it is how a character is depicted/represented/undervalued that makes me unappreciate them as a character, and a character's actions will let me put my subjective view of whether I like them or not outside of their character. If I were instead saying which female characters I have enjoyed the most, it would be akin to the characters in general that I enjoy the most. One example of this could be characters that state the obvious when everything else is going crazy. Any of these poll options could have the potential to be a good character imo. Generally, though, I prefer characters that aren't extremely one-note, sexualized, or extremely stupid.

Options 3, 4 and 5 are the ones that I very much prefer. I do occasionally come across characters who fall under option 2: like Noi-san from Dorohedoro and Ameri-san from Iruma-kun- they still are my favourites.

Most of my favourite female characters tend to be between options 3- 5. I kinda also like them more if they are hella hilarious, cool, and passionate about something or sometimes cold-hearted like Ms Balalaika from Black Lagoon.

I honestly want FL just be themselves like I’m sick of the “damsel in distress” ones that just let the ML abuse them. I’m saying this with the Yaoi genre too..

I can go for anything really but my favourite type has to be the sadistic lolita behind a sweet and innocent facade.

I don't want a loli-sized girl that can beat people up. Tomboys should be average size at least.
