I'm not sure I buy Haley as an example of Evil Female Agency. Or even Saucy Female Agency. Yeah, there was that recent strip with the armor change and the "I think a little flaunting is in order" comment, but that sort of implies that the leather she's been wearing the rest of the comic hasn't been skimpy. I mean... I guess there's some evidence to support 'saucy', especially earlier on in the strip, but it's definitely not one of the first things I would think of when describing Haley's personality.

And I haven't read as much KODT, but wasn't Sarah the least "Evil" of the group?

They do both support the "One Girl" aspect, though, yeah (V's gender-ambiguitity aside). If you're looking for good counterexamples, I'd suggest Guilded Age (http://guildedage.net/), which has 3 females in the group of six main characters. It's more "Fantasy" then "RPG", but title aside, you really could say the same thing about YAFGC, so it's probably worth consideration if you're looking into that sort of thing.

I'm not using Haley as an example of evil female agency (although, she's a better example than I imagined, now that I think about it.) I'm saying that either there's one girl on the side, or the side is evil.

There's two bits, there.
