I gotta go through this thread and check out all the awesome ladies at some point eve
Being female myself, it's not surprising that I'd write female protagonists. Even though I've read a ton of "shounen manga" and have certain tropes I adore, for some reason my protags never end up like any of them.... Well, I do have male ones and actually there's a tendency for there to be deutergonists, esp female+male, probably because I love subverting the whole "MAN AND WOMAN THAT GET ALONG??? THEY MUST KISS AND HAVE BABIES". I do like romance though.
My current webcomic "Suck it!!" has a teenage girl as the lead with whom my intention is to kind of explore feminity-- well, not "explore"... Basically, she was created back when I was making sense of how I view gender so she ended up being a girl who remains one through and through despite what hobbies and interests she may have (both traditonally feminine and masculine). But anyway, the main focus is actually about her dealing with a male character who is kind of the other protag.
I have two action/adventure/fantasy type stories that have a female lead but I'm not ready to draw those stories yet. One of them is a princess and the other is a... well, she's a hyper-aggressive kid, haha;;
