Category:Tomboy with a Girly Streak

A tough-acting tomboy turns out to have an unexpected feminine side.

Most Tomboys in fiction tended to dislike "girly" things and being associated with them, but sometimes something sneaks through. She might like the color pink, have a thing for frilly and girly dresses despite her usual boy-ish wear, is easily enamored by cute things, or she's a surprisingly good cook and has neat domestic skills.

Reactions to this trait may vary. The tomboy in question might either be ashamed by her girly lapse and try to hide it, or she might actually be proud of it and be ready to give a hard smack to anybody who teases her about it. Usually her peers will be surprised, and those who tease will pay.
