The Smurfette Principle is in action when the cast is made up of a group of males and exactly one female. This can occur even in works with large casts, so long as each sub-Ensemble (of five or more) contains only one female character. Adding a second female to the ensemble creates a related trope. With the relatively few female-aimed works, contrasting the sheer volume of works that are aimed at males, it stands out that the demographics of fiction shows a ratio of female to male characters much lower than Real Life.
