Token Lesbian

There's one woman (or girl) in the cast of characters who isn't like the others - she isn't interested in boys at all, but she isn't asexual, either. Since there's only one such character in the cast, she's the Token Lesbian.

This trope doesn't make any assumptions about the character's personality - she can be a Lipstick Lesbian, a Butch Lesbian, a Schoolgirl Lesbian, a Lesbian Jock, in a Transparent Closet, or she could be so well-developed as a character that it's impossible to pigeonhole her. The important part of the trope here is that she's a Token Minority, and the minority is "homosexual people".

Contrast with Everyone Is Gay and Hide Your Gays. Note that Token Yuri Girls is not a subtrope of this trope, because that trope discusses works with more than one lesbian character.

For the trope that used to be here about two lesbians being a couple in a work that's otherwise about gay males, see Token Lesbian Couple (which is also not a subtrope of this trope).
