Random Saiyuki pondering

*no, I haven't read the new volume yet, don't spoil me*

Are there any female characters in this series who are all of the following:

1)  Alive.

2) Not evil.

3) Not a hermaphrodite.

4) Not fixated on Kougaiji (Lirin: bickeringly adoring younger sister with mutual but understandable complex, Yaone:  devoted apothecary, Pippi: fangirl.)

5)  Around for more than a chapter or two.

Yes, this randomly popped into my head a little while ago and won't go away. 

(And...ahm...kinda spamming, sorry.)

Hmm...I always took that as the wife and mistress kept apart. I should try to remember what manga that was, and exactly what she said. Maybe Lirin just woke up earlier? In all honesty, I mostly remember it because it made me wonder if she had plans for a Big Reveal about Lirin.

Course, the only authors notes things I remember is that, and a comment in I think the first volume where she said Gojyo was looking for the right person, but it might not be a girl.
