* It would be easier to find female characters in ''[[For Good]]'' that ''aren't'' this trope, because the main ones are either [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]], [[The Captain|captains]], [[Hypercompetent Sidekick|hyper-competent sidekicks]], and/or [[Good-Looking Privates]]. (Not to mention that a couple of them are actually [[The Chessmaster|Chessmasters]].)

* In the [[Mega Crossover]] ''[[The Secret Return of Alex Mack]]'', [[Hanna|Hanna Heller]] is explicitly codenamed "Action Girl" -- and ably demonstrates that she more than qualifies.
* An [[Extraordinarily Empowered Girl|empowered]] [[Bubblegum Crisis|Lisa Vanette]] -- using the [[Sobriquet]] "Sailor Loon" -- becomes one in ''[http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/deadbang.shtml Dead Bang]'' by Ian McLeod, the officially-recognized sequel to ''[[Drunkard's Walk|Drunkard's Walk II]]''.

* Hermione Granger in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fic ''[[The Arithmancer]]'' becomes one almost by accident -- but by the end of its second part, ''Lady Archimedes'', she is a full-bore [[Magic Knight]] -- [[Magitek]] armor, buckler and sword, magical rifle, innovator of terrifying spells, able to go toe-to-toe with Bellatrix LeStrange and win... yeah. After the Battle for Hogwarts is over, she's told that she's probably the most accomplished and deadly fighter in all of Magical Britain.
* Most every female character in the earlier works of the epic [[Mega Crossover]] ''[[Undocumented Features]]'', probably as part of initial [[Author Appeal]]. (The very first story in the project concerned bringing Kei and Yuri from ''[[Dirty Pair]]'' into the real world, after all.) It wasn't until the 2010s and the inclusion of ''[[K-On!]]'' into the crossover that the writing team began focusing on ''non''-Action Girls.
* Bella Swan becomes one in the nonsensical ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' fanfic ''[[Bella Swan: Pregnant and Furious]]''.
