Nowhere do they go so far, though, as when the ship ''is'' a girl. She may be a [[Hologram|holographic projection]] by the ship's computer, or she may be a physical manifestation created by [[Black Box]] technology, she may be a [[Wetware CPU]] running the ship, or she may simply [[MacGuffin Girl|turn into a human]] [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|when she wants to]]; but she ''is'' the ship, and thus requires special handling. Spaceship girls range from the deadly serious to the outright wacky, but they are never just machines. Hint: don't make her angry when you're parsecs away from the nearest planet...
Compare with [[Robot Girl]] and [[Sapient Steed]]. A subtrope of [[Sapient Ship]] and often a kind of [[Genius Loci]]. Related to [[I Call It "Vera"]] and [[Living Weapon]]. Psychologically related to [[Companion Cube]]. Might become [[Robo Ship|a love interest]].

* ''[[Narue no Sekai]]'': Bathyscaphe, Kanaka's ship and guardian, is a serious and matronly type...but she has her softer side.
** There's another one called Haruna who is actually a ''deserter from the army'' who is hiding on
*** In one instance Haruna gets overexcited and summons her ship form to welcome some visitors to the hotel she works at, much to the chagrin of everyone there.
* ''[[Outlaw Star]]'': Melfina, who seems at first to be a shy teenage girl, is soon revealed to be the living navigation system for a very advanced starship. The rest of the ship's functions, however, are controlled by Gilliam II, the ship's male computer system.
