Line 17:
* Satella from ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' fits this trope somewhat, although Azmaria is the only one that really looks up to her. (Rosette is generally more frustrated with her antics than anything, although there's moments where they share bits of advice with each other.)
** And of course, Rosette plays the role straight towards Azmaria, as the picture above shows.
* The [[Trope Pantheons|GODDESS]] of Cool Big Sisters: Kazumi Amano of ''[[Gun BusterGunbuster]]''.
* Milly Ashford, the [[Student Council President]] from ''[[Code Geass]]'', is actually referred to on the show's official website as a "reliable older sister" to her friends (when she isn't tormenting them with her playful antics and "magic spells"). She's one of the more popular side characters due to this, as well as her... um... [[Monty Python and The Holy Grail|huge tracts of land]] and [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant|eagerness to grope the female Student Council members]].
** Cornelia is one to her little sister Euphemia, who in turn was one to Nunnally.
* In ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]'', Nami and Robin tend to alternate between this and the [[Team Mom]] trope. Nami is definitely the [[Cool Big Sis]] type to both Vivi and Chopper, while to the rest of the crew, she is definitely the [[Team Mom]]. Robin is the [[Cool Big Sis]] to Nami, and is often referred to as "oneesama" by Nami.
** Nami also has Nojiko, her "sister" who was adopted with her by Bellemere.
* In ''[[Ranma ½ (Manga)|Ranma One Half]]'', though she [[Flanderization|ends up]] playing the [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] so straight she becomes a parody of it, Kasumi Tendô is a gentle, kindhearted woman who holds the Tendô household together, always tries to comfort her family, thinks the best of others and displays a subtle comic wit, often trying to pull off a one-woman [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]. [[Tomboy|Akane Tendô]], her [[Tsundere]] little sister [[Promotion to Parent|whom she helped raise]], ''adores'' her "Kasumi-neechan" and desperately wants to be like her, but without giving up her martial arts abilities.
* Misato Katsuragi in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. Or at least, she attempts to be one.
* Averted for both Lina and Amelia in ''[[Slayers]]''; Lina is terrified of her older sister, Luna, who [[Noodle Incident|allegedly put her through torment]] during her childhood ([[Subverted Trope|which Lina did deserve]]), and {{spoiler|while Amelia's older sister, Gracia/[[Goldfish Poop Gang|Naga]] taught her some magic per [[Word of God]], she ran out on Amelia and her father when they were young after their mother was killed; Amelia did not hear from her since, and in the novels she's quite saddened by it.}}
* Mai Kujaku/Valentine in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' to Shizuka/Serenity and, to a lesser extent, Tea/Anzu.
* Urd of ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]'', to both younger sister Skuld and Keiichi on occasion, though with mixed success. Skuld seems to regard Belldandy more as her [[Cool Big Sis]] than Urd.
* Nice Holystone and eventually {{spoiler|Ennis}} from ''[[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano]]''.
* Shigure Asa of ''[[Shuffle]]'', who is also a [[Genki Girl]] [[Bokukko]] to boot. {{spoiler|And she's the one who gets the guy.}}
* Reki in ''[[Haibane Renmei (Anime)|Haibane Renmei]]'' is this to all the younger characters.
* Seiji's big sister Rin in ''[[Midori no Hibi]]'' is a mild exaggeration and subversion. Seiji's already pretty damned cool himself, but his sister is over the top -- although she dresses like an [[Office Lady]], she leads a biker gang, and generally takes all the usual Cool Big Sis behaviors to an obnoxious extreme. She's the only human being (he describes her as a demon) that he fears. She does, however, sincerely care for her little brother and wants him to be happy. Which explains why she put him through [[Training From Hell]] as a child. Of course, she ''did'' seem to enjoy it...
* Haruka Urashima in ''[[Love Hina]]'' probably counts.
Line 35:
* Override in ''[[Transformers Cybertron]]'' fits the type even if she ''is'' a [[Humongous Mecha|Giant Robot]] (and is only a [[She's a Man In Japan|girl in the dub]]). She even refers to one of the humans as "little sis".
* Nobue in ''[[Ichigo Mashimaro]]''.
* ''[[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Pokémon]]''
** Kasumi (Misty) has not one, not two, but ''three'' Cool Big Sisters, actual sisters at that. She doesn't exactly idolize them, though, getting along only with the eldest of the trio.
** A more straight example is [[Lady of War]] Soledad (Saori) from ''Advanced Generation'', who acts like a cool big sis to [[Shipper Onon Deck|May and Drew]].
** Zoey/Nozomi tries to act like this for Dawn/Hikari, but ends up looking like [[Butch Lesbian|something else.]]
** Dawn's Togekiss, who acts in this role towards Piplup. This is mainly seen by Togekiss deflecting wayward Draco Meteor attempts back at Ash and Gible to keep them from falling on Piplup, and scolding Gible for repeatedly hitting Piplup.
Line 47:
* Gascogne fills the role in ''[[Vandread]]''.
* Raquel Casull in ''[[Scrapped Princess]]''.
* Michelle Cheung, the eldest of the three Paper Sisters from ''[[Read or Die (Anime)|Read or Dream/R.O.D The TV]]''.
* The Outer Senshi in ''[[Sailor Moon]]'': Haruka Tenoh (Sailor Uranus), Michiru Kaioh (Sailor Neptune), and Setsuna Meioh (Sailor Pluto).
* Hevn in ''[[Get BackersGetBackers]]''.
* Kuwabara Shizuru in ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', actually Kuwabara Kazuma's older sister, who seems to consider it her job to keep the younger (acting?) girls safe and upbeat. Urameshi Atsuko kinda shifts between this and [[Hot Shounen Mom]] in the manga... she had Yuusuke when she was about ''fourteen'' (Yuusuke's same age), after all.
* Azusa Miura from ''[[The Idolmaster (Animeanime)|The Idolmaster]]''.
* Triela fills this role in ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]'', despite not being related to any of the other protagonists.
* Technically she's the ''cousin'' of [[Troubled but Cute|Ryoma Echizen]], but otherwise Nanako Meino fits the trope to a T in ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]''. And there's also Fuji's [[Hello, Nurse!|EXTREMELY hot sister]] Yumiko.
* Sakaki from ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'' is pretty much this, being quite protective of [[The Cutie|Chiyo]][[Cheerful Child|-chan]] and earning Chiyo's admiration in return. And then there's all her in-show [[Fan Girl|fangirls]].
* Yoko Littner from ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' becomes this after outgrowing her [[Tsundere]] stage early in the show, although she had hints of it from the beginning.
* ''[[Bitter Virgin]]'' has Izumi Suwa, elder sister of Daisuke, who is considered a [[Cool Big Sis]] by Daisuke's childhood friend Yuzu Yamamoto. She also becomes such to female lead Hinako when she encourages her to fight for Daisuke's affections and becomes {{spoiler|the only person who Hinako has knowingly divulged her secrets to}}. She also earns some points for casually dismissing the flak she catches for returning to her conservative home town ''very'' pregnant with no father in sight.
* Mai Tokiha from ''[[Mai-HiME (Anime)|Mai-HiME]]'' who, atypically for this trope, ''is'' a [[Shonen]] series lead. She jokes about Shiho's [[Big Brother Attraction]] toward Yuuichi when they all first meet, stating that she (Mai, not Shiho) and Takumi are blood-related.
* Yuki in ''[[Wandering Son]]'' is a Cool Big Sis, with [[Transsexual|a slightly modified definition of "Sis".]]
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]''
** Ginga Nakajima, Subaru's older sister.
** Nanoha often seems to fill the role as well to the Forwards.
** And Signum seem to be a Grumpy but Cool Big Sis to Nanoha, Fate and some minor characters like Vice or Alto, especially in [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikersStrikerS|StrikerS]] manga.
* ''[[Gundam]]''
** Christina Sierra from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Anime)|Gundam 00]]'' isn't the sister of either Feldt or the Gundam pilots, but treats them as if they were her siblings.
** She possibly caught that from Catherine "Cathy" Bloom, the cool big sister from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (Anime)|Gundam Wing]]''. {{spoiler|Who's confirmed by [[Word of God]] to be the long lost older sister of the Gundam Heavyarms's pilot, Trowa Barton}}.
** And let's not forget Toniya, the [[Dark-Skinned Blond]] from ''[[After War Gundam X (Anime)|After War Gundam X]]'', who plays this role towards Tiffa and Garrod ([[Shipper Onon Deck|and even ships them together]]).
* Claudia LaSalle (or Claudia Grant, if we go by ''[[Robotech]]'' names) from ''[[Macross]]''.
* ''[[Bleach]]''
Line 81:
* In ''[[Overman King Gainer]]'' after she switches sides, Adette eventually becomes this role, well after she stops sleeping. The Siberian Railroad even still calls her Big Sis while she's attacking them.
* Tamaki Kousaka from ''[[To Heart 2]]'' is the [[Cool Big Sis]] to Takaaki.
* Played for laughs with Li Syaoran's ''four'' older sisters in the first ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Cardcaptor Sakura]]'' movie. They were all very sweet and well-intentioned ... and complete [[Kawaiiko|Kawaiikos]].
* Both [[Hello, Nurse!|Dr. Yamaguchi]] and [[Hot Scoop|Mari Iizuka]] from ''[[Hajime no Ippo]]''.
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|Axis Powers Hetalia]]''
** Hungary, before she "graduates" into [[Team Mom]] and marries Austria.
** In Finland's notes, Belgium is hinted to be a [[Cool Big Sis]] too, but she has only had cameos so far. [http://pics.livejournal.com/melcratch/pic/00003xx2/ Confirmed in the published manga], so much that little!Romano gets a [[Precocious Crush]] on her.
Line 97:
* Anehara Misa in ''[[Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou]].''
* So far, Eva from ''[[Karneval]]'' is one to some extent, being reliable during a crisis, [[Les Yay|especially when Tsukumo-chan is concerned]], although the guys are pretty scared of her.
* Chikaru of ''[[Strawberry Panic (Light Novel)!|Strawberry Panic]]''.
* ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]''. Kamijou Touma has an [[Unwanted Harem]], even if he doesn't realise it. The [[Cool Big Sis]] was Kaori Kanzaki, {{spoiler|but of course she now is also part of his harem. Way ta go Touma!!}}
** Fukiyose Seiri is good at depicting this image. She's also hijacked the role of class representative on a number of occasions.
* Though only [[Berserk Button|one year older]] than the rest of the main cast of ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hayate the Combat Butler]]'', Maria seems to be the holder of this title.
** While Yukiji is better known as an irresponsible, [[Bottle Fairy]] and older than most, she has shown to have this side to her, mostly to her younger sister.
* Aki Izayoi (Akiza in the the dub) in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5 Ds5D's]]'' fits this, generally keeping track of [[Half-Identical Twins|Rua and Ruka]] after she outgrows her [[Dark Magical Girl]] leanings in the beginning of the show.
* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' has Mami Tomoe. {{spoiler|She doesn't last long.}} Also, like [[Genre Deconstruction|many other things on this show]], deconstructed {{spoiler|in one of the previous timelines, where upon confronted with the [[Awful Truth]], decides to ''kill'' her younger comrades (and implies that she plans to end her own life as well), reasoning that it's better that they die rather than grow into [[Eldritch Abomination|witches]]. While this fits with her protective, motherly personality, it's clear she's more "insane" than "cool" at this point.}}
* In ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]'', Kiki has a bout of insecurity and loneliness {{spoiler|when she loses her witch's powers}}. One of her friends, a young painter named Ursula, {{spoiler|invites her to stay in her forest cottage and helps her mental block.}}
Line 116:
== Comics ==
* ''[[The Sandman]]'' includes Death, who is the sweetest, gentlest girl anyone could ever meet. She loves everyone, and everyone, audience included, loves her. She is by far the sanest of the Endless, and is able to provide a pragmatic perspective to her younger brother, the anguished poet Dream. Most importantly, she is extremely badass when it is called for, and is the only one of the Endless who "is bound by no rules." The ironic contrast between the kind and beautiful Death and the typical Grim Reaper archetype is deliberate and effective.
* [[Y: theThe Last Man|Yorick]] always thought of his sister Hero this way... {{spoiler|until she joined the Daughters of the Amazon after the [[Gendercide]] and murdered someone in front of him. He had a tough time accepting her [[Heel Face Turn]] after that.}}
* [[Spider-Girl|Mayday Parker]] is well on her way to be this to her baby brother Benjamin.
 
 
== Films -- Animation ==
* Lin ([[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|Rin]]) in ''[[Spirited Away]]'' is not actually Chihiro's sister but, after a rocky start, she takes her under her wing.
* Margo in ''[[Despicable Me]]'' is this to the two younger girls, Edith and Agnes, though [[Word of God]] has stated that the three are not biologically related. {{spoiler|However, they legally become sisters after Gru adopts them.}}
* Tigress in ''[[Kung Fu Panda 2 (Animation)|Kung Fu Panda 2]]'' to Po, if you want to disregard the [[Ship Tease|hints that she may be falling in love with him]].
 
 
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* ''[[Bon Cop, Bad Cop]]'' had a Cool ''Younger'' Sis for the strait-laced, by-the-book Ontario cop. Naturally, the chain-smoking, rulebreaking, yet oddly charismatic Quebec cop was interested.
* In the film adaptation of ''[[The Lord of the Rings (Filmfilm)|The Lord of the Rings]]'', Eowyn very much took on this role for Merry.
* Sweet Pea from ''[[Sucker Punch]]'', who looks out for and protects her sister Rocket, as well as the rest of the group. "I'm only doing this because you'd all get killed without me."
 
 
== Literature ==
* Jacyl acts as one to [[The Hero]], Lyra, in ''[[Black Dogs (Literature)|Black Dogs]]''.
* The [[In Death]] series. Peabody thinks of Dallas this way, while Dallas is impressed by Mira's grace, style and poise, to the point of her mental descriptions reaching near girl-crush levels.
* In ''[[Harry Potter]]'', Tonks is this to Hermione and Ginny.
Line 142:
* In the reimagined ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'', Kara Thrace is said to have filled this role for Sharon Valerii.
* In the [[Korean Series]] ''[[Boys Before Flowers]]'', Joon Hee is the white Ferrari-driving older sister of Jun Pyo.
* On ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', Buffy originally filled this role for Dawn. However, after dying, coming back and basically abandoning her, it stopped applying for a bit. It was repaired in Season 7, only to be destroyed again and still be in pretty bad shape over a year later in Season 8.
* On ''[[Chuck]]'', Ellie is the ultimate [[Cool Big Sis]]. She practically raised her younger brother Chuck by herself after their parents left their lives, is willing to lend an understanding ear to his problems, and is just generally an awesome person.
* ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'' has urbane, sophisticated [[Hooker Withwith a Heart of Gold|Inara]] frequently playing the more experienced [[Cool Big Sis]] to [[Wrench Wench|Kaylee]] - complete with hair-brushing sessions and advice on boys.
* Eun Bi from the [[Koeran Drama]] ''[[Flower Boy Ramyun Shop (TV)|Flower Boy Ramyun Shop]]'' is this to Ba Wool, who admires her for being an ex-gang leader and for being the daughter of somebody he respects as well.
* Referenced almost by name in C-drama ''The Holy Pearl'' between [[Lady of War|Mu Lian]] and [[Rebellious Princess|Yu Die]].
* In ''[[Kamen Rider Double]]'', {{spoiler|Princess Wakana}} to Philip.
Line 162:
** Likewise, the [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]] [[Super Robot Wars Original Generation|Ouka Nagisa]] of The School Children is the eldest and addressed by Arado Balanga, Seolla Schweizer and Latooni Subota as their "sister".
* Nanami from ''[[Suikoden II]]''.
* Bleu/Deis from the ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' series is somewhat of a [[Cool Big Sis]] to the party, most notably in 3 and 4. She guides and gives hints to Ryu and his party, and is definitely the most... erm... endowed woman in the party. Interestingly enough, Ryu ''does'' express romantic interest in her (pretty much the most you'll ever see him express towards anyone, considering he's a [[Silent Protagonist]]) in 3, sort of culminating in a [[Precocious Crush|little kiddy crush]]. Probably has to do with how he saw her [[Big Bouncy Breasts|full front]], [[Naked Onon Arrival|completely naked and up close]].
* Teased with ''[[Grandia III (Video Game)|Grandia III]]''. Everything you've seen indicates Miranda is a [[Cool Big Sis]], until it's revealed she's a [[Hot Shounen Mom]] instead. Her personality, however, fits this trope.
* Letty Whiterock of ''[[Touhou|Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'' is one of these for the [[The Ditz|ditzy]] [[An Ice Person|ice fairy]] Cirno.
** And after the latest game, fanworks seem to also make out Byakuren Hijiri to be half this trope and half [[The Messiah]] in equal helpings -- with the sis-dom particularly pointed towards [[Battle Butler|Shou Toramaru]] and [[Eldritch Abomination|Nue Houjuu]]
* Tamara from ''[[Custom Robo (Video Game)|Custom Robo]] Arena''.
* Ellone from ''[[Final Fantasy VIII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VIII]]'' served this purpose for the rest of the orphans in the backstory.
* Inferno from ''[[Sanitarium (Videovideo Gamegame)|Sanitarium]]''.
* Raine Sage from ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]''.
* Grune from ''[[Tales of Legendia (Video Game)|Tales of Legendia]]''.
* To a slight degree, Lyn from ''[[Fire Emblem]]''.
** Also Syrene.
Line 176:
* [[The Hero|Rosalyn]] from ''[[Okage]]'': Shadow King is this to [[Supporting Protagonist|Ari]], his little sister Annie, and possibly [[The Ditz|Linda]]. If you're not one of these people, chances are if you're part of the rest of the group, she's going to be short-tempered with you.
* Lightning from ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'', most evident toward Hope.
* In ''[[Mass Effect (Video Game)|Mass Effect]]'' a female [[Player Character|Shepard]] can be this to [[Wrench Wench|Tali]] to the point where in the second game she seems to have something of a [[Even the Girls Want Her|crush]] on the Commander. She's also something like this to [[Cowboy Cop|Garrus]] during the first game. Shepard's role as the team's [[Living Emotional Crutch]] does seem to put him/her in this position a lot.
* Isabela acts like this towards Merrill and Bethany in ''[[Dragon Age II (Video Game)|Dragon Age II]]'', especially the former. Whenever Fenris / Anders would be ragging on Merrill for her use of [[Blood Magic]], Isabela just tries to comfort her and asks if it's what she really wants. Party banter between them involves offering to teach Merrill about body-shots and trying to get Bethany a night at the local brothel. If the PC romances Merrill, Isabela gives him / her the [[If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...]] speech, threatening a male PC with ''castration''.
* In ''[[Nie R]]'', [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|Kaine]] plays this role to [[The Woobie|Emil]], in that she can relate to the idea of having a part of their body that makes them hated (Emil has [[Evil Eye|Evil Eyes]] while Kaine is a [[Hermaphrodite]] possessed by a Shade) and tells him to never be ashamed of himself for what he is.
* Esperia seems to have this role among the spirits in ''[[Eien no Aselia]]''. Halion really tries, but she's a bit too slow and strange to pull it off.
* In the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' 'verse:
** The arcade version of ''Super [[Street Fighter IV (Video Game)|Street Fighter IV]]'' portrays [[Street Fighter II (Video Game)|Chun-Li]] in this light towards [[Street Fighter III (Video Game)|Yun and Yang Lee]]. It should be noted that given the connections between [[Street Fighter (Videovideo Gamegame)|Gen, Lee,]] Chun-Li's father, Chun-Li, and the Lee Bros. and the likening of a martial arts instructor/master to that of a father figure, Chun-Li is more or less their ''actual'' martial arts "big sister".
** [[Street Fighter II (Video Game)|Cammy]] can also be seen as this towards her fellow [[Street Fighter Alpha (Video Game)|Dolls]]. Particularly, ''SSFIV'' has Cammy attempting to go all [[Mama Bear|Sister Cub]] on newcomer Juri for savagely attacking and hospitalizing them, not to mention looking after a recovering Juni in her ending.
* Leslie from ''[[Arc Rise Fantasia]]''.
* In ''[[Jade Empire]]'', this is how Dawn Star sees the female [[Player Character]].
Line 188:
 
== [[Visual Novels]] ==
* Charlotte is a cool big sis for both Angie and Mary in ''[[Shikkoku no Sharnoth (Visual Novel)|Shikkoku no Sharnoth]]''. However, the short voice over at the beginning of every chapter reveals that when they were children, Mary actually played this role for Charlotte instead.
* Physically older? Check. More mature than everyone else, protagonist included? Check. An actual leader for [[The Squad]]? Check. [[Boobs of Steel|Huge tracts of land]]? Check. Meet Forte Stollen from [[Galaxy Angel (Videovideo Gamegame)|Galaxy Angel]].
 
 
Line 199:
* Rhea of ''[[Slightly Damned]]'' is this way to both Buwaro and Kieri.
* ''[[Misfile]]'': Once she lightens up after {{spoiler|Rumisiel exorcises her dead older sister's vengeful spirit}}, "Kamikaze" Kate becomes one of these, ''insisting'' on making Ash her "little sister".
* ''[[Ow My Sanity (Webcomic)|Ow, My Sanity]]'' [http://owmysanity.comicgenesis.com/d/20100809.html literally introduces this character] as the [[Cool Big Sis]].
* Amethyst Lashiec from ''[[Heartcore]]'' is like this, both to her actual younger sister Sukina, and to her sidekick Lutz.
* Nique to Criminy in ''[[Sinfest (Webcomic)|Sinfest]]'', though its more along the lines of Nique considering him to be like a [[Big Sister Instinct|little brother]]. She can be very protective of him, something Fuchsia found out early in her romance arc.
* ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]'' has Diane, [[Lovable Alpha Bitch|the Queen Bee of Moperville South]] who is somewhere between this and [[Onee-Sama]] (EGS had thick anime roots before these girls) for Rhoda -- unusual in that they are in the same class, but Diane is about a head taller and more mature, so she comes across [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2008-02-01 as senior] and [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-12-27 acts] very [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-11-24 protectively] toward "her puppy" who is tiny and [[Shrinking Violet|feels even smaller]].
 
 
Line 211:
 
== Western Animation ==
* Frankie in ''[[FostersFoster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]''.
* Jerrica Benton of ''[[Jem]]'' plays this role for the kids at her orphanage.
* ''[[Kim Possible]]'', actually the eponymous main character of her show.
Line 217:
* Flash from ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' considers Hawkgirl as one of these. In his words:
{{quote| "She loves me. She's like the big sister I never had. Only, y'know, short."}}
* Irma and Cornelia in ''[[WITCH (Animationanimation)|WITCH]]''.
* ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]''
** This rendition of Jean Grey, also a Type B [[Tsundere]].
** Tabitha Smith, aka Boom-Boom, ''really'' fits the bill after her [[Character Development]].
Line 225:
* Jazmine "Jazz" Fenton in ''[[Danny Phantom]]''.
* Jen on ''[[Sixteen]]'' has a mean older sister everyone loves that she's jealous of.
* Yumi Ishiyama from ''[[Code Lyoko (Animation)|Code Lyoko]]''. Johnny sure thinks that Hiroki has a Cool Big Sis.
* Subverted with Blackfire in the ''[[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|Teen Titans]]'' animated series. The other Titans think she's here to hang out with her little sis and maybe even join the team, but she's actually there {{spoiler|to frame Starfire for a robbery she committed to get the authorities off her back.}} Even Starfire was excited to see her at first and didn't expect such treachery. This moment marked a [[Moral Event Horizon]] for Blackfire as Starfire wasn't at all happy to see her again.
* Suzie Chan from ''[[The Amazing Chan and The Chan Clan]]''. Henry is her [[Spear Counterpart]].
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'': To some extent, Mai to Azula and Ty Lee. She's a year older than them and fits the aloof, snarky profile. Also, Katara to Toph, when they're not fighting or annoying each other.
* Korra from ''[[The Legend of Korra (Animation)|The Legend of Korra]]'' is adored by all of Tenzin's children, and Ikki and Meelo often imitate her to their father's dismay (though it's made all the more amusing since Korra is the reincarnation of their ''grandfather'').
* Twilight Sparkle to Spike in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''. At times, she comes off as a [[Parental Substitute|mother]] more than a sister though. Rainbow Dash sees her old friend, Gilda the Griffon as one. To her credit, Gilda ''does'' seem to care about her. The problem is that she doesn't care [[Jerkass|for anyone else]].
** [[Main/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Characters/The Princesses/Characters|Princess Celestia]] walks the line between this, [[Parental Substitute]] and [[Onee-Sama]], quite possibly for her entire nation, but at least for her "most faithful student" [[Main/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Characters/The Mane Cast/Characters|Twilight Sparkle]]. The rest of the [[Main/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Characters/The Mane Cast/Characters|Mane Six]] and {{spoiler|her sister, [[Main/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Characters/The Princesses/Characters|Princess Luna]]}} are in-between the two.
** Literal big sisters Applejack towards Applebloom, and [[An Aesop|(eventually)]] Rarity towards Sweetie Belle.
*** Berry Punch, Cloud Kicker, Golden Harvest, and Amethyst Star are this to Piña Colada, Alula, Noi, and Dinky Hooves, respectively.
Line 242:
** Not to mention that, despite having a good heart, poor Olga has ''terrible'' problems of her own. The fact that [[Stage Mom|the Pataki parents]] dote on her so much has caused Olga to become a [[Stepford Smiler]] [[Shrinking Violet]] who collapses in tears at the slightest evidence that something may go wrong; As a result, while she plays this role to Lila and others who are outside the family, she and Helga are pretty distant -- and sometimes Helga comes off as more mentally strong than Olga does.
* Arcee acts as this to Jack in ''[[Transformers Prime]]'' (though the occasional [[Relationship Writing Fumble]] can make their relationship seem a bit deeper than intended).
* Miss Martian becomes Beast Boy's adopted sister in season two of [[Young Justice (Animationanimation)|Young Justice]].
