Os protagonistas do anime Shojo vêm em todas as formas e tamanhos, mas muitos seguem os mesmos tropos. A maioria são mulheres gentis e inocentes, fazendo tudo ao seu alcance para ajudar as pessoas ao seu redor. Eles podem fazer isso negligenciando sua própria saúde e, portanto, precisam de outros personagens para cuidar deles a longo prazo. Eles são otimistas e sempre fazem o possível para ver o que há de bom nos outros.
Não há nada de errado com esse tipo de protagonista, mas alguns dizem que a variedade é o tempero da vida. Às vezes, os fãs de shojo desejam algo um pouco diferente para fazer um novo anime parecer único. Alguns desses protagonistas alternativos são durões e teimosos. Outros se transformam no inesperado. Alguns protagonistas do shojo nem são meninas. Esses dez protagonistas do shojo são tudo menos as heroínas comuns que os fãs esperam.
