The two main areas of a girl which differ in appearance from the male are the breasts and the genitalia. Since this was asked in the genitalia category we will stick to answering the question just about that portion.

The female external genitalia includes the mons pubis, the labia majora, the labia minora, the clitoris, the orifice of the vagina, and clitoris, the orifice of the vagina, and the urogenital cleft.

The mons pubis (mons veneris) is a cushion of fat and areolar tissue covered with skin and hair; it starts several inches below the belly button and extends to just above the vulva. The mons pubis divides at its lower part into the two labia majora.

The labia majora are the outer "lips" of the vulva. In prepubescent girls they are about all that is visible - appearing as nothing more than a cleft in the skin between the legs - not much different in appearance from the cleft between the buttocks in the back.

The labia minora are the inner lips. They vary considerably in appearance from woman to woman. In some women they are almost entirely hidden within the labia majora. In others they protrude well beyond the labia majora. they are range in color from pink to dark brown.

Within the labia minora is the cleft where the clitoris and the urogenital cleft. are located. The clitoris is located at the top where the labia start. It is a tiny nub that may or may not be visible most of the time. Further down is the urogenital cleft where the opening of the urethra and orifice of the vagina are located. The urethral opening is above the vaginal orifice and is where urine is expelled. Except when the lips are pulled apart, it is not visible. The vaginal orifice is below that and is the opening to the vagina (and from there up to the uterus). It too is not visible except when the lips are pulled apart. The entire urogenital cleft is usually some shade of pink - with an appearance much like the cheek inside the mouth.
