There's Amewarashi, Zashikiwarashi, Mokona, Yuko, Himawari and Sakura.

Still, it's a little bit dubious whether it's really a pass.

Amewarashi and Zashikiwarashi mostly talk about Watanuki. There is a bit of their dialog that doesn't directly involve him, such as Amewarashi telling Zashikiwarashi to calm down or saying they must go. It's a technical pass.

Sakura only speaks to men, and so does Himawari.

Yuko and Mokona (Mokona is a female, even though she is often mistakenly called a "he") talk about "Sakura and Syaoran" as a couple. I believe it wouldn't be a pass, since Syaoran is mentioned, but then again, technically, the dialog is as much about Sakura than it is about him.

I'd consider it a technical pass, all things considered. Not the best in representation, when it comes to dialog, but it works.
