== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Ironically, the animated adaptation of ''[[Archie's Weird Mysteries]]'' had the Veronica switch her role as this and the Betty with Scarlett Van Helsing, a new student who was asking for Archie's help in researching vampires. They find out that Scarlett is a vampire, part of a cult who wants to resurrect their vampire leader Medlock. Scarlett seduces Archie before planning to kill him; Veronica leads a rescue and uses an amulet to stop Scarlett and her [[Mook]]s. Later, Scarlett ends up pulling a [[Heel Face Turn]] after Medlock drains her youth and forces her to seek refuge with the Archie gang.
* In ''[[The Dragon Prince]]'', Prince Callum at the start of the show is in love with his bodyguard's sister Claudia, a sweet girl that is a [[Cool Big Sis]] towards him and his little brother Ezran. He meets Elf Assassin Rayla when the latter hunts him down in a bid to kill Ezran, and he spends most of season one not trusting her, for obvious reasons. Season two has Callum and Ezran learn that Rayla was right that Claudia and her brother Soren found them in the mountains not to help them, but to take them and baby dragon Zym hostage to serve their father Viren, who wishes to usurp the throne. As they fly away, Callum has a heartbroken, betrayed expression on his face. Rayla spends the rest of season two and three dedicated to protecting the brothers, as well as Zym.
* ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' used [[Character Development]] to incorporate this trope with Korra, her crush Mako and his girlfriend Asami. It's a rare case when the protagonist is the Veronica, owing to her being the Avatar and having [[No Social Skills]] while Asami is the Betty: a [[Spoiled Sweet]] [[Nice Girl]] that sacrifices her cushy life to protect her friends from her turncoat father. Yet when Asami finds out that Korra kissed Mako, she doesn't blame the former and rightly susses that Korra doesn't understand romantic boundaries, while calling out Mako for not telling her. After more back and forth in season two, the girls finally talk it out in the season three premiere after they both break up with Mako. {{spoiler|They then end up dating in the series finale. Go figure.}}
