A [[Fan Service]] trope, where [[Action Girl|Action Girls]] wear short, above-the-knees skirts.
Line 22:
== Anime and Manga ==
 
* Yuri Nakamura, Kanade Tachibana, Shiina and Yui from ''[[Angel Beats (Anime)|Angel Beats]]''
* ''[[Beet the Vandel Buster (Manga)|Beet the Vandel Buster]]'' has Milfa wears micro-miniskirts, Poala as well.
* This regularly shows up in ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]'':
** Tier Harribel, after she goes [[One-Winged Angel]], dons a more stripperific outfit which leads this.
** Loly Aivirrne qualifies by wearing a schoolgirl-themed skirt despite being an Arrancar.
Line 39:
** Nemu Kurotsuchi wears a miniskirt so far above her knees that it's a wonder why she hasn't received a [[Panty Shot]] yet, especially since it fully shows off her legs.
** Nozomi Kujo from the Invading Army filler arc.
* Lenalee of ''[[D .Gray Man-man]]'' wears one with [[Modesty Shorts]] underneath.
* Anri's skirt in ''[[Durarara]]'' is ridiculously short.
* ''[[FLCL (Anime)|FLCL]]''. Mamimi Samejima wears one of these, but she's ''not'' an [[Action Girl]].
* ''[[Fresh Precure]]'' has Cure Peach and Cure Berry.
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' has Louise Halevy, in the second season. She almost qualified as a [[Dark Action Girl]], though, what with her (admittedly justified) level-upping in jerkassity.
Line 50:
* Similarly, the female Ashford Academy uniforms in ''[[Code Geass]]''.
* Togame in ''[[Katanagatari]]'' has a very short ripped-up skirt.
* In the anime version of ''[[Love Hina (Manga)|Love Hina]]'', ''[[Lady of War|Motoko]]'' wore a school uniform with [[Girlish Pigtails]], slight [[Zettai Ryouiki]] and a [[Dangerously-Short Skirt]] while holding a book. However, she doesn't get to fight in it, and it's used ''against'' her by the resident [[Clingy Jealous Girl]], who seduced her while disguised as Naru as part of a [[Batman Gambit]].
* Running absolutely rampant in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima (Manga)|Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', where about 98% of the female characters wear them.
* Ino Yamanaka on ''[[Naruto]]'' has a short skirt, and while she's proved herself to be an Actiongirl, she wears bandages under it. Temari (who's more like a [[Lady of War]]) could qualify as this as well, with all but one of the outfits she's worn that's incorporated a short skirt.
* ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]'' has this as one of Nami's outfits. The next one is even more questionable.
** Robin also qualifies, particularly when she wore [[Thigh-High Boots]] and a [[Nice Hat]].
* ''[[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Pokémon]]'' anime has Dawn Hikari and her hip-length skirt, disturbing considering her age. She's ''not'' an [[Action Girl]], though, since she leaves most of her fighting to her Pokémon.
* ''[[QueensQueen's Blade]]'' has Captain Liliana.
* In ''[[Rosario to Vampire]]'', this is the source of much of the [[Fan Service]] in the anime. A Dangerously Short Skirt is apparently required by the dress code. At one point, the [[Moral Guardians]] attempt to require all female students wear much longer skirts (ankle length), which fails due to intense opposition from the students.
* In ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', the sailor scout superhero uniforms qualify.
* ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'' has the eponymous Shana.
* Zakuro, from ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]''.
* Dark Magician Girl from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''.
* ''[[Yumekui Merry]]''
** The eponymous Merry Nightmare wears such a skirt.
** Isana is another one, but she's ''far'' from an [[Action Girl]].
* In ''[[Dance in Thethe Vampire Bund]]'', Mina wears one.
* Agnese Sanctis from ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]'', which is strange considering that she's a nun and she gets really offended if someone looks up her skirt.
* In ''[[Soul Eater]]'', Maka's skirt doesn't leave much to the imagination.
Line 90:
== Video Games ==
 
* ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum]]'' has a subversion. Harley Quinn definitely has the short skirt down, but she's an [[Anticlimax Boss]].
* ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' has [[Gun Kata|Noel Vermillion]], who's often said to be [[Going Commando]].
** Trinity wore two, one with pantyhose as a member of the Six Heroes, and another as Platinum.
** [[Good Old Fisticuffs|Makoto]] [[Cute Monster Girl|Nanaya]]'s costumes only had straps keeping her skirt held in place.
* ''[[Disgaea]]'' has Etna.
* Terra of ''[[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VI]]'' is one of a long line of [[Dangerously-Short Skirt]]-wearers in the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series; particularly noticeable in ''[[Dissidia]]''. In her original game, it looks more like she's wearing a [[Leotard of Power]], but it's close enough to her official art that it may be the case that it's ''just that short''.
* ''[[Final Fantasy VII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VII]]'''s Tifa Lockhart wears a leather mini as animating a skirt that covered her legs was too technically complicated.
* Most of the gals in [[Skullgirls]].
* ''[[Final Fantasy VIII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VIII]]'' gives us Selphie, who does get the occasional [[Panty Shot]] when the camera zooms in.
* ''[[Final Fantasy X 2]]'''s Rikku provides the page image.
* Ashe of ''[[Final Fantasy XII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy XII]]'' rivals Rikku for skirt shortness.
* And in ''[[Final Fantasy XIII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy XIII]]'', Vanille's fur skirt-thing is like this in the front, but it's longer in the back.
* ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' has Valentine, but she leaves the fighting to her [[Buffy-Speak|gigantic skull-head thing]].
* Juliet Starling, zombie hunting cheerleader heroine of ''[[Lollipop Chainsaw]]''.
* ''[[Soul Calibur]]'' has Sophitia Alexandra, an Athenean maiden who habitually wears short skirts.
** Cassandra Alexandra, Sophita's sister, also qualifies, as of ''Soul Calibur 2''.
* Shiki from ''[[The World Ends With You (Video Game)|The World Ends With You]]''.
* ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines (Video Game)|Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines]]'' has Jeanette Voerman, but she never fights on-screen.
* ''[[La Pucelle]]'' has [[Naughty Nun|Prier]] wearing a dress so short, it's actually the apron in front that prevents her from flashing everyone. She's also a [[Kick Chick]].
* The Succubus boss in ''[[Vindictus]]''.
Line 116:
{{quote| A skirt that is at least 1 inch shorter than one's finger tips.}}
''Put your hands at your sides, if your finger tips can touch your thigh, you're in a mini.''
* Male version with [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] in [[Suburban Knights]]. When he walks up a hill, that thing is nearly at his hip. The [[Fan Service]] and the pain he was in from the cold has been lampshaded by nearly all the cast commentaries.
 
== Western Animation ==
 
* The third season of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' has the famous [[Beach Episode]] with Ty Lee and Azula. While both are [[Action Girl|Action Girls]], the only fighting they've done in those skirts, is by playing volleyball. [[Serious Business|Rather intense volleyball]], but still.
* Starfire in the animated ''[[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|Teen Titans]]'' show.
* Gender-flipped variant: Him of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|The Powerpuff Girls]]'' had this, combined with [[Zettai Ryouiki]], [[Thigh-High Boots]] and abundant [[Fan Disservice]]. The whole design of the guy ([[Ambiguous Gender|?]]) puts [[The Rocky Horror Picture Show|Doctor Frank-n-Furter]] to shame.
* Most of the female characters of the DCAU are [[Action Girl|Action Girls]]. But one that stands out the most is [[Bodyguard Babes|Mercy]] [[Battle Butler|Graves]]. Her dress is insanely short, and only kept down by virtue of being a [[Magic Skirt]].
