Types of Girl Protagonists That Aren't Used Nearly Enough(A List)

We haven't done a list in a while! Let's do another, shall we? Seeing as how we seem to have the same three girl characters over and over again in stories anymore, let's look at some unique tropes that I don't see nearly enough. * Redheads, especially redheads that aren't Balls of Fire™ Girl characters who are tough but don't hate on children or girly things, it's just not their thing. They admire other girls who do such things, but it's just not for them. Ones who wear skirts?? Where are my girls who like wearing skirts? Girl heroes who wear glasses and find a way to work with the glasses in order to fight rather than just not wearing them(because bro you will be blind, plz save yourself) Girls who exist without any kind of trauma. I love angst, I really love angst, but it's nice sometimes just to see characters who are living life without trauma. The whole Broken Girl trope can be a little overdone. Girls who care, really care, about other people.
