Others are androgynous or ambiguously female in appearance, but could be either male or female (' Jain, Lightsworn Paladin').Ī few female cards have names that use masculine word forms, even where a feminine form is widely-known and used (' Fire Sorcerer' who is a sorceress, or ' Silent Magician' in which case the feminine form of 'magician' could be used in other languages).įemale cards, as a group, have occasionally had a role of some significance in the anime, manga and video games:
Some monsters only have an overtly feminine appearance (' Doriado', ' Mystical Elf'), are members of a female archetype or series (' Amazoness', ' Harpie') or are presumed female based on their voice or role in the anime or manga (' Ancient Fairy Dragon', ' Gravekeeper's Assailant'). Most monsters are visibly female due to having female secondary sex characteristics (' Mist Valley Shaman', ' Performance of Sword'), but some are only shown to be female in card text: they have female pronouns or feminine word forms in their names (' Archfiend Empress', ' Serpentine Princess'), have a feminine name (' Mariamne, the True Dracophoenix'), are referred to as female in lores (' Gyakutenno Megami', ' X-Saber Anu Piranha'). This is a list of female cards, including female monsters and cards that depict female monsters in their artworks.
