Bifauxnen: Difference between revisions

** Ukyou, but only around the time of her introduction. From the moment she puts aside her grudge with Ranma and Genma, she gets girlier as the series progresses.

** Likewise, Ryuunosuke from ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'', Ukyou and [[Gender Bender|Ranma]]'s [[Expy|authorical ancestor]].

* ''[[Simoun]]'': Paraietta, especially impressive given the [[Gender Bender|premise of the show]]. Though the outfit and her physique don't fit the trope. It's more the attitude and facial features.

* In the ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' [[The Movie|movie]], one of the major characters doesn't realize Utena is female until he's halfway into a fight scene with her due to her boys' school uniform and short hair (covered further by a hat). Nobody made that mistake in the original, where she had long hair and wore Daisy Dukes. Utena's status is made a bit more complex by her dislike of actually being identified as masculine. Rather, she assumes the qualities of a prince as a heroic, energetic, and proactive figure, and the rest is window dressing.

** Rei more so than Kaoru, who was actually [[Bifauxnen and Ladette|more of a]] [[Tomboy]]. Besides, {{spoiler|Kaoru got a [[Girliness Upgrade]] [[Bait and Switch Lesbians|after marrying Takehiko]] [[Babies Ever After|in the end]] while Rei remained a bifauxnen until [[Bring Out Your Gay Dead|the end.]] }}

* Kana, the [[Wrench Wench]] from ''[[Haibane Renmei]]''. She dresses in a boy's uniform and her voice is low enough in tone to be passable for either gender, and every so often someone asks about "him". These aspects of her, however, are only lightly touched upon in the anime.

* Hilling Care, [[Dark Action Girl]] and Ribbons' {{spoiler|[[Half-Identical Twins|twin sister]]}} from [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]].

* ''[[Baccano!]]'': Ennis is a partial case, being obviously female but prone to dressing and carrying herself like a man in a time period where that didn't often happen. The real Bifauxnen however is Ricard Russo, who's more often taken for a cute little boy than a teenage girl by characters ''and'' [[Viewer Gender Confusion|readers]].

** It gets better: ''Ten Desires'' have Mononobe no Futo, who wears ''male'' onmyouji attire, and Toyosatomimi no Miko, who's based on a real male historical figure, with a hefty dose of masculine arrogance.

** An obligatory PC-98 example, Meira from ''Story of Eastern Wonderland'', whose demands to fight Reimu for her powers were mistaken for a proposal by Reimu... [[Les Yay|and accepted]]. Meira clarifying her gender [[Mistaken for Gay|didn't help]].

* From ''[[Infinite Undiscovery]]'': {{spoiler|Vic's true gender soon becomes fairly obvious, with several hints shortly after Vic joins your party.}}

* Leo from ''[[Tekken]] 6''. Short hair, check. Masculine name, check. Masculine outfit, big check (includes a white masculine tuxedo).
