Line 25:
* 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]]'', 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 (although, to be fair, Urd is Belldandy and Skuld's ''half''-sister, so a bit of sibling rivalry sneaks in there).
* Nice Holystone and eventually {{spoiler|Ennis}} from ''[[Baccano!]]''.
* Shigure Asa of ''[[SHUFFLE!]]'', who is also a [[Genki Girl]] [[Bokukko]] to boot. {{spoiler|And she's the one who gets the guy.}}
Line 58:
* Mai Tokiha from ''[[My-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 [[Transgender|a slightly modified definition of "Sis".]]
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS]]''
** 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 [[Magicalthe Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|''StrikerS]]'' manga.
* ''[[Gundam]]''
** Christina Sierra from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Gundam 00]]'' isn't the sister of either Feldt or the Gundam pilots, but treats them as if they were her siblings.
Line 78:
* Cathy Taymor and Pamela (also a [[Hot Shounen Mom]]) from ''[[Kaleido Star]]''. Sarah Dupont is ''both'' this and the local [[Team Mom]].
* Natsumi Hayama from ''[[Kodomo no Omocha]]'', after her [[Character Development]].
* In ''[[Overman King Gainer]]'' after she switches sides, Adette eventually becomes this role, well, after she stops sleeping all the time. 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]]'' movie. They were all very sweet and well-intentioned ... and complete [[Kawaiiko]]s.
Line 91:
* Fasalina in ''[[Gun X Sword]]'' is amongst the antagonist's group, however she seems fond of newcomer Michael and if he's not being guided by The Claw, he goes to her and she teaches him. It doesn't excuse her position as a villain though, making her a rare villainous Cool Big Sis.
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has Negi's cousin Nekane filling this role whenever she's around. Kaede, Konoka, Akira, and Chizuru all fit the bill as well. On that note, most of the 3A girls can qualify at some point or another...
* Asagi in ''[[YotsubatoYotsuba&!]]'', who ''definitely'' knows [[Mind Screw|how to work people]].
* Tae Sekihara in ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'', who counsels her friend Kaoru and takes Tsubame under her wing.
* Kirino Chiba, ''[[Bamboo Blade]]''{{'}}s [[Kendo Team Captain]], is more ditzy than flirty, but is clearly remarked to be the Cool Big Sis for the kendo team, which helps to keep them united. This may also make her something of a [[Team Mom]].
* 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!|Strawberry Panic]]''.
* ''[[A Certain Magical 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 to go Touma!!}}
** Fukiyose Seiri is good at depicting this image. She's also hijacked the role of class representative on a number of occasions.
** In the spin-off series ''[[A Certain Scientific Railgun]]'', Judgment branch 117's manager Mii Konori becomes a Cool Big Sis to the other girls.
* Though only [[Berserk Button|one year older]] than the rest of the main cast of ''[[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.
