Also, why DO you think it's so rare to see non-related female characters who aren't rivals, frenemies, or at least relatively passive/indifferent towards each other?

Well, to give a general answer, the patriarchy.

I mean, I think there's a lot of male writers who wouldn't even think to have women characters if it weren't for sex appeal - not that they'd make a conscious decision not to have them, but they just wouldn't even think of it. It's incredibly easy to center your own experiences, and patriarchal norms encourage that to an extraordinarily huge extent. And while of course it's not exclusively a problem of male creators, it is probably more pronounced for men and it does not help that creative power is hugely weighted towards men in most industries.

I dunno.
