In the Dragon Quest III remakes, tomboy is a female-only personality that improves strength and agility growth, but reduces resilience, wisdom, and luck growth.

The hero cannot become a tomboy at the start of the game.

Other female party members have a chance to be a tomboy when recruited as any class, depending on their stat bonuses.
