* Tomoe Hotaru in the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' manga.
* Alvis in ''[[Last Exile]]''.
* Subverted by Zefie, in ''[[.hack//Sign|.hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet]]''. Her "mother" is the [[Creepy Child]]''/''
** And occasionally unhesitatingly violent.
* Mashiro Kazahana from ''[[Mai-HiME]]'', who spends almost the whole series confined to a wheelchair, and appears to be no older than Mai's kid brother Takumi. In addition to being the current headmaster of Fuuka Academy, {{spoiler|1=she was the previous HiME Festival's champion and master of Mai's CHILD Kagutsuchi, ''[[Vicious Cycle|three hundred years ago]]''. }}

The Seer [[Character Class]], whose two seen members are both female, has a more comprehensive prophet ability, being able to see the outcome of any possible course and thus discern the correct future path.
