To me this is what a tomboy is tbh, though I know I'm in the minority there.
You aren't entirely incorrect tbh, but it isn't just about looks, boyish personality counts too. (I have watched Pokemon in over 20 years I do not know Rika's personality).
Sometimes I'm a bit unsure about the boundaries of the category. Like, the black haired one from Bocchi the Rock post #11049017 is more like your classic big titty goth onee-san, or Rika from wonder egg post #8512157 is closer to some 90's, early 00's soft rock/scene aesthetic, but they also give me some tomboy vibes for some reason.
Or, do characters who only sometimes dress more tomboyish, but are otherwise traditional feminine, count? Like Yozora from Haganai. post #1405095 post #6783904
