Although the traditional melodramas portrayed most heroes as mustache-bearing males, the idea of noble, misguided or just plain confusing, female heroes has been around since time began - ranging from noble witches to amazons to society-protecting feminists, the Heroine is just as capable of bringing hope as her male counterpart. There are certain females with a slightly masculine side to them, and those are labeled as tomboys.

Please note that no matter what the universe the female hero is from says, robots or mechanically/artificially created entities with feminine programming do not count and are to be labeled as Genderless.
