* While ''[[Mulan]]'' isn't quite a eequelsequel to any Disney films, the title character proves herself to be very much different from her predecessors. For starters, she doesn't act like a girl even thoughwhen she actsis likedoing afemale-related girlactivities. And whether previous Disney girls were more introverted, Mulan was an extrovert. In other words, she breaks pretty much every gender stereotype in the book.

Line 29:
* The ''[[Persona (video game)|Persona]]'' franchise, big time. The [[Persona (video game)|original]] main character was more or less an [[Heroic Mime]]; the [[Persona 2]] duology has, in order of release, a troubled pessimistic young delinquent and a very [[Genki Girl|genki]] and optimistic young woman; the protagonist of ''[[Persona 3]]'' is a depressive youth who tries to keep to himself; the protagonist of ''[[Persona 4]]'' is a way more social character who tries to uphold to justice, while the protagonist of ''[[Persona 5]]'' has a delinquent backgoroud and authority issues.
* The ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' franchise, each of the protagonist has a whole different personality than the one from the previous game (save the [[Assassin's Creed 2|Ezio]] trilogy). For example, [[Assassin's Creed (video game)|Altaïr]] is cold yet arrogant and silent, in contrast to Ezio who is the [[Memetic Sex God|complete]] opposite. Just to name a few.
* The ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]]'' series, both in the original line and the [[Tokimeki Memorial Girls Side|Girls Side]] of the franchise, has different approach over their "Main" romantic interest (Read: the bigger character(s) in the cover)
** The first game has Shiori Fujisaki, [[The Ace]] and infamously [[Nintendo Hard]]. The second game prompts us towards Hikari Hinomoto, a [[Genki Girl]] way more approachable than Shiori, and so [[Easier Than Easy|easy to get]] that the real difficulty of her game is to ''avoid'' her route. The third game presents us Yukiko Makihara, a girl with a personality so thin she became [[The Scrappy]] of the franchise. The forth game gave us Maki Hoshikawa, the [[Ridiculously Average Guy|Ridiculously Average Girl]], and Yuu Satsuki the Shiori [[Expy]] [[Up to Eleven]].
** In the Girl's Side: ''First Love'' stars Kei Hazuki, the extremely aloof (and sightly socially inept) ace of the school. ''Second Kiss'' introduces us to Teru Saeki, the apparently perfect school prince who under that surface is more of a [[Broken Ace]] and rather [[Tsundere]]. "Third Story'' bring us the Sakurai brothers, Ruka and Kouichi, who break the princely mold of the first two games by being [[Japanese Delinquents|more in the delinquent side]] (although it's implied that Ruka could be the school prince if he wished but deliberately avoids so)
 
== Western Animation ==
* The ''[[Legend of Korra]]'' series has Avatar Korra, who is [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Aang]]'s successor, and whose goals, personality, Team Avatar pals, and [[Bi the Way|love life]] are all entirely different. She's a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] Princess of the Water Tribe and always in for a good fight/challenge, until she received some character development, which contrast heavily with the [[Fun Personified]] Aang.
** If one considers the history of the Avatars, they're the walking version of this trope, beginning with Wan.
