* Inverted by Jack O'Lantern in ''[[Ultimate Spider Woman (Fanfic)SpiderWoman|Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light]]''. Although he wears a public mask to be accepted by his fellow citizens, he also begins wearing a ghoulish pumpkin-headed costume and committing increasingly deadly crimes to reveal his ''true'' personality.

* Helga from ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' expressed her true feelings for Arnold when alone.
* Trixie Tang from ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'' is secretly a tomboy that likes comic books and disguises herself as a boy because she has fear of being judged and rejected due to the fact that she is a popular girl and the [[Alpha Bitch]] of her school.
