Bifauxnen: Difference between revisions

* Kiri from ''Never Give Up!'' ended up with the looks of her father. Furthermore, to follow her love interest, she gets hired as a ''male'' model.

** Her masculine features are emphasized by her love interest, Tohya, being an ''effeminate-looking'' boy. This is often joked about by Kiri's friend, Natsu:

'''Natsu:''' Prince Kiri and Princess Tohya. You'd be best couple in the yearbook, for sure! }}

* In ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'', an escaping enemy once confused the athletic, short-haired [[Action Girl]] Ryoko for a guy when she tried to contact him via [[Holographic Terminal]]. She was not amused. Note this was a one-off occurrence, as this confusion would not be possible in person thanks to the magic of [[Latex Space Suit|Latex Space Suits]], and the character in question had a [[Stay in the Kitchen|particularly narrow view of "proper" mecha pilots]].

* Imogen Stubbs, as Viola/Cesario in the 1996 adaptation of ''[[Twelfth Night]]''. Olivia's infatuation is ''completely'' understandable...

* A short-haired Keira Knightley is mistaken for a boy (and to be making out with the female protagonist) in one scene in ''[[Bend It Like Beckham]]''. ([[Even the Girls Want Her|*happy sigh*]]) Although the character is traditionally feminine in some ways, her sportiness, preference for trousers at all times, and lack of interest in enhancing her cleavage create a boyish aura around her (contributing to her mother's suspicions that she's gay).

** In early drafts she was a lesbian, but the creators then decided that it would encourage the sexist belief that all sporty young women must be [[Lesbian Jock|Lesbian Jocks]].

* Yitzhak in ''[[Hedwig and The Angry Inch]]'' is played by a woman, has an obviously feminine voice, is a former [[Drag Queen]], and looks like a scruffy young man. And is very cute.

* Katt o' Nine Tails from ''[[Spinnerette]]''.

* In [http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?id=509 this] ''[[Drowtales]]'' [[Self-Parody]], it's [[Played for Laughs]]:

Zala: "Do not mock her so. It is not her fault if she looks like a man... a very pretty man." }}
