Cool Big Sis: Difference between revisions

* Nathan from''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'' is built on this trope, right down to [[Stealth Pun|his name]] (or, as it's pronounced in Japanese, Nee-San). The fact that he's male does not diminish it in the least.

* Michiko from ''[[Michiko to Hatchin]]'' eventually becomes one to Hatchin.

 

== Comic Books ==

* ''[[Y: The 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 ==

* 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]]'' to Po, if you want to disregard the [[Ship Tease|hints that she may be falling in love with him]].

 

== Films -- Live-Action ==

* In the film adaptation of ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|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 ==

* Nellie from ''[[The 39 Clues]]''.

* A famous socialite to whom she gives the snarky pseudonym "Girdle Fitz-Snugglie" befriends and becomes this to the titular character of [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s young-adult novel ''[[Podkayne of Mars]]''.

 

== Live-Action TV ==

* In ''[[Jade Empire]]'', this is how Dawn Star sees the female [[Player Character]].

 

* Charlotte is a cool big sis for both Angie and Mary in ''[[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 (video game)|Galaxy Angel]].

 

== Web Comics ==

* Nique to Criminy in ''[[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]]'' 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]].

 

== Web Original ==

* ''[[Ilivais X]]'' has Mille, who's a more [[Hot-Blooded]] variant of this. Unfortunately, she has the impression that one-night stands are the epitome of romance, and to that end her reputation of sleeping around heavily is known more than being kind and compassionate. Her only real friends are people who she ended up having to see and interact often with regardless of what she did with them, and she eventually winds up in a relationship with the resident [[Broken Bird|broken]] [[Token Mini-Moe]] protagonist instead of the usual archetypes present.

* Sarah in ''[[Erikas New Perfume]]'', after [[Plot-Relevant Age-Up|certain events]].

 

== Western Animation ==

* 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 (animation)|Young Justice]].
