Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Difference between revisions

** Krillin's height actually changes constantly, sometimes he's as big as 5 year old Gohan, [[Dissimile|sometimes he's as big as 11 year old Gohan...]]

* Cibo and Killy of the manga series ''[[Blame]]'', with Cibo being a good deal taller than Killy. {{spoiler|At least, at first.}}

* The parrot in ''[[Time Bokan]]'' has a large domineering wife.

* In ''[[Super Dreadnought Girl 4946]]'', short guy Makoto Tokida ends up befriending and forming a relationship with the nearly fifty-meter tall Mana Eimiya. She insists her height is 49 metres 46 centimetres; it's important to her because ''shorter girls are cuter, right?'' There's also Kotou Akemi and [[Gender Blender Name|Isaac Montana]], who both tried to win him over Mana.

** {{spoiler|He's now befriended Shirahoshi, the biggest mermaid alive, whose size is comparable to their ship. It has yet to be seen whether she will develop romantic feelings for him, but it's safe to say that if she does, [[Chaste Hero|they won't be reciprocated]].}}

** {{spoiler|Miss Monday and Mr 9 became an [[Official Couple]] version of this trope during the time skip; they even have a baby to seal the deal.}}

** Millie and either Vash or Meryl is a platonic example.

*** Vash and Wolfwood are both rather average sized. But Wolfwood with Millie becomes this trope, while Vash becomes the [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl|Huge Guy with Meryl]].

* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'', we have Tea, who is somewhat tall, and Yugi, who is pretty much a midget. In the [[Pool Episode]], Joey realizes how odd a ship of them would be.

* Pietro's parents in ''Popolocrois''. Doubles as [[Interspecies Romance]], since his [[Hot Mom]] is a dragon.

* ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'': Sena's [[Not Love Interest]] Mamori is three inches taller then him.

** Sena [[Subverted Trope|considers Mamori]] [[Like Brother and Sister|as an older sister]], so it doesn't fit. Monta can be considered one, but it's one-sided.

* Makken and Leyte in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''.

* Yui and Kei from ''[[Houou Gakuen Misoragumi]]''.

* Koichi and Yukako from ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]''.

** Also with Scott Free's Manager Oberon and Fire.

** Post-''[[Zero Hour]]'' ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes]]'' had Monstress and Element Lad, which might also count as [[Beast and Beauty]] except for the fact that Monstress doesn't have a "Beast" personality.

*** They stay like this even in the animated version, where she's somewhat shorter and has normal hair.

** [[Sizeshifter|Sizeshifters]] Giganta and [[The Atom]] ([[Affirmative Action Legacy|Ryan Choi]]) used to be an item. Even with both at normal size, she has several inches on him.

* Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood of ''[[Matilda (novel)|Matilda]]'': Mr. Wormwood is illustrated as very thin while Mrs. Wormwood is at least twice his size (but the same height).

* ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'': Jaime's aunt Genna, who is huge in every way, and her husband Emmon Frey, a little wisp of a man.

* The children's book ''Tiny and Mister Bigman'', Tiny is the definition of [[Hot Amazon]], 6'5" strong as an ox Jamaican woman with a voice like a hurricane that [[No Guy Wants an Amazon|unintentionally frightens all the men on the island]] and Mister Bigman is a 5'4" scrawny almost deaf white man on vacation from somewhere. They fall in love almost the moment they meet.

* In John Crowley's ''Little, Big'', Smoky Barnable, height unspecified but described as short, marries Daily Alice Drinkwater (over 6 feet). Toward the end of the story, though, the size disparity becomes ... much larger.

== Live Action TV ==

* ''[[Survivor|Survivor: Gabon]]'': Ken is the shortest, skinniest guy on the show, while his chief ally, Crystal, stands 6'3" (191cm) tall.

* On ''[[The Addams Family]]'', Morticia is way taller than Gomez.

** In a [[What If]] episode, Eric's Guardian Angel(played by Wayne Knight) shows Eric what his future would be like if he had never dated Donna. In said future, he actually ends up marrying Big Rhonda whose gotten a lot bigger, more homely and quite abusive.

* ''[[Firefly]]'': Through the use of camera angles, Wash is portrayed as being a few inches shorter than his wife Zoe. On the DVD commentaries people actually express surpirse at how this comes out, since in real life Alan Tudyk (Wash) is a few inches ''taller'' than Gina Torres (Zoe), and there was never anything blatant like [[Scully Box|standing on a box]] to change the height for the screen.

 

== Video Games ==

** Peach is visibly (at least) a head taller than Mario, even with a Super Mushroom, mostly because Mario is shorter than average. Perhaps one of the most famous examples in all media aside from Boris and Natasha. But this is somewhat a played with trope in this case since in overall size, Mario is much bigger due to his stocky build and strong enough to throw heavy objects and enemies with ease, while Peach is slim, dainty, and feminine. However, it's still this trope at the core since anytime they're together, she puts her arm around him and when they kiss, she bends down to kiss her heroic plumber.

** Sometimes with his brother Luigi, he alternates between being her size or shorter.

** Sometimes they like to [http://gtsmoonworld.ta-host.com/where/embeds/super_mario_issunboshi.htm exaggerate their size difference].

** Princess Daisy is more or less the same height as Peach. Rosalina on the other hand, is much taller (she is approximately the same height as Waluigi). Even more so with Rosalina, who was seen as a giant at the end of both ''Galaxy'' games, and the ''[[Mario Kart]]'' series games classes her as a heavyweight despite her slender [[Princess Classic]] type delicate build.

* [[The Napoleon|Shoma]] and [[Huge Schoolgirl|Natsu]] from ''[[Rival Schools]]'', though both have trouble [[Cannot Spit It Out|expressing those feelings]] and spend their time [[The Masochism Tango|arguing with each other]] [[Slap Slap Kiss|instead]].

* [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Damsel in Distress|Princess Elise]] from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)]]'', though any semblance of a romantic relationship [[Star Boarding|is primarily one-sided on Elise's part]].

** ''[[Fire Emblem Elibe|The Blazing Sword]]'': {{spoiler|Ninian}} and either {{spoiler|Hawkeye}} (platonic) or {{spoiler|Eliwood}} (romantic), as she's a ''[[Our Dragons Are Different|literal dragon]]'' (okay, [[Half-Human Hybrid|half-dragon]]). It only happens once, however, and involuntarily at that.

*** Also, {{spoiler|Ninian (and Nils)'s parents. The mom was Aenir, a dragon woman; the dad was... Nergal, then a normal shuman shaman, and later the [[Archnemesis Dad]].}}

* Ayla and Kino in ''[[Chrono Trigger]]''. Ayla is over six feet tall, ridiculously strong to the point of outperforming even advanced robots, and towers over basically everybody except Robo (who is a lot taller and larger than he looks in-game in official art). Kino is about the same height as Marle (second shortest character after Frog), not to mention a complete wimp.

* The [[Our Elves Are Better|wood elves]] in ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]''.

* The Harvest Goddess in ''[[Harvest Moon]]'' animal parade [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ESevObTPbU towers over the protagonist]. In Harvest Moon Island of Happiness, the extremly short chef Pierre is able to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qiv8ca03s4A be married by female players].

* From ''[[Ar Tonelico 3]]: Knell of Ar Ciel'', there's the diminutive scientist Katene and {{spoiler|Mute}}, who towers over him in terms of both height and muscularity... well, [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|most of the time]], anyway. They're embarassingly and hillariously lovey-dovey together.

* Flonne at 5'2" from the ''[[Disgaea]]'' series towers above the 4'3" Laharl, according to the supplementary artbook; Etna is also about five inches taller than him. This doesn't really come across in the game proper very well, because almost all the cutscene portraits and character sprites are the same size. [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/956928/absurdres-angel-blonde_hair-blue_hair-demon-disgae Some official art] does show this though.

* [[Fable]]. In the second game investing in Strength will give you muscles, while investing in Skill gives you height, meaning than a female character can potentially end up much taller and more burly than a husband. There is also a far bit of fan art with [[Brawn Hilda|Hammer]] and [[Squishy Wizard|Garth]] that strongly features this trope. In the third game, the Princess is taller than almost everyone else from the outset, possibly because of her Heroic bloodlines).

 

== Webcomics ==

{{quote|He better start carrying a footstool around.}}

** Also, we have [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=861 Lindsey] and [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=908 Bud].

* The eponymous [[Hot Amazon]] Of ''[[The Challenges of Zona]]'' makes her reasonably normal-sized boyfriend Mentl look like a freaky little midget by comparison.

* [[Ruby's World]] has Jiro ( 6'2" ) and Ruby ( 9'1" ).

* ''[[Animaniacs]]'':

** We occasionally see Dr. Scratchansniff with his girlfriend, who is much taller and at least three times his weight.

* [[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]: Boris and Natasha. One of the most famous examples in all media along with Mario and Princess Peach.

* The Scotsman and his wife from ''[[Samurai Jack]]''. It's not that the Scotsman is tiny - in fact he's big, ugly, and strong - it's just that his wife is bigger, uglier, and far stronger!

* [[The Napoleon|Lucius Heinous VII]] and [[Gold Digger|Jez]] from ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''.

* In ''[[The Angry Beavers]]'', the twist of episode 12 is that the legendary [[The Catfish|giant river fish]], Old Gramps, turns out be a shrivelled old fish who is maybe half the size of the beavers. The legends are actually due to his ''wife'', Old Grams, who ''is'' big enough to swallow the beavers' dam whole.

* [[Kids Next Door]], with Numbuh 3/Kuki Sanban and Numbuh 4/Wally Beatles, while Kuki is actually the youngest Operative in Sector V, Wally is the shortest, being around a head shorter than Kuki.

* Ernie Potts, the diminutive demolitions man from ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'', gets involved with his crush - a tall, full-figured (a.k.a. "Large and Lovely") model named Lola.

* ''[[American Dragon Jake Long]]'': Jake and Rose.

* Mr. and Mrs. Brinks from ''[[Angela Anaconda]]''

* [[Eek the Cat]]: Eek and Annabelle fit this trope to a tee. She's an obese pink southern belle of a cat who's as tall as a human (in fact, her owner is only heard once as [[The Voice]] welcoming her to her new home when she's let out of her cat carrier). In fact, a running gag is others telling him that his girlfriend is fat, but he doesn't see it; to him, she's a beautiful goddess.
