This is mainly a [[Japanese Media Tropes]] but does occur occasionally in other media. Two [[Bifauxnen]] girls from the same anime have largely different personalities that lie on the traditional masculine spectrum.
 
This has a tendency to happen in an [[Improbably-Fundamentally Female Cast]] where varying male personalities are limited and in [[Yuri Genre]] to give the [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]] and the audience one more androgynous girl to [[Fan Service|drool over]]. This usually takes the form of one girl being a [[Ladette]] personality-wise and the other girl will be a more [[Cultured Badass|refined]] [[Prince Charming]] complete with a [[Bishie Sparkle]]. Other variations exist as well, such as the likelihood that one may be more [[Lesbian Jock|athletic]] while the other one is a [[Badass Bookworm]].
 
Expect a [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]] if it's a [[Yuri Genre]]. Expect an [[Odd Friendship]] regardless.
Line 10:
Sometimes the girls will not get along and there will be moments of rivalry or even [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] [[Slap Slap Kiss|between the two]].
 
Compare and Contrast [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]] -- as—as well as its polar opposite, [[Light Feminine and Dark Feminine]]. In a way, this is also a female version of [[Noble Male, Roguish Male]].

Line 21:
* In ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', Haruka Tenoh and her rival Seiya Kou plays the trope straight in the manga but only plays with it in the anime considering {{spoiler|her gender in human form was changed to male in the anime}}.
** Taiki and Yaten seem to be this to Seiya.
* In ''[[Strawberry Panic!|Strawberry Panic]]'' [[Prince Charming|Amane Ohtori]] plays this role opposite [[Psycho Lesbian|Kaname Kenjo]].
* Rei and Sei from ''[[Mariasama ga Miteru]]''. Even their names fit the trope!
* From ''[[Kure-nai]]'' we have Lin and Yayoi.
