An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Our heroine is a Tomboy -- rough and tumble, as interested in fashion as she is interested in watching paint dry. However, in the reboot or in the doll, she becomes a girly girl. Often complete with princess dress or at least a Pimped-Out Dress, tween fashion and long hair, often with hair decorations. Notice that the girl is often aged up -- from little girl to tween. (Ironically, tweens are often less feminine than little girls -- tweens are at the stage of life where the dresses and cuteness is ditched for a more mature style.) Examples of Girliness Upgrade include:

See also Chickification. Also unlike Chickification, this trope doesn't necessarily mean she becomes weaker. The trick is that the girl becomes more dainty-looking, but keeps at least a good part of her core personality underneath the skirts and make-up. If becoming girlier is portrayed as better or worse than being more tomboyish, then you've got some Unfortunate Implications on your hand. Examples of Girliness Upgrade include:
