But wait!  Are we forgetting another kind of girl?  How about...

The Bully-type Girl.

She's strong, can beat the crap outta you, usually for money or
revenge.  But underneath she's just another girl longing for love
and
understanding.  And once your under her wing she can't be a force
to
trifle with.  Those that fall under that category are...

	This is more of a conditional than a category.  Girls from 
EVERY catagory can have power and an attitude.
	Priss can be qualified as an Idol because she represents 
someone known and admired for her singing.  Shinobu and Akane are both 
Girl Next Door types being islands of normailty among the cast.  Lum 
and Ryoko qualify as the Magical Girlfriend types because they simply 
enter the series and turn reality on it's ear.  Iffurita is an ideal 
manifestation of the Unattainable category, being a living weapon who 
isn't meant to have feelings.  The Go-Girl category in point of fact, 
has a conspicuous lack of women who wouldn't fit that definition.  Now 
the older woman category doesn't display nearly the number of 
representants since calmness is often a strong part of the Maturity 
going into the classification, but Misato Katsuragi certainly mixes 
older women sophistication with an intense attitude.  Naturally the 
Harem Girl classification is personafied by a lack of depth, but 
there've been a few female stormtrooper squadrons.

Akane (Ranma .5)	Hibiki (My Dear Marie)
Ifurita (Elhazard)	Ryoko (Tenchi Muyo)

Generally they're not hard to find if you look hard enough.

Priss could also be put in this catagory. It certainly suits her
better that the 'pop idol' classification.

Be well.
