If your show is aimed at a younger audience, this young woman (usually in her mid to late teens, sometimes in her early 20's20s) will be older than the [[Shorttank]] and be the girl everyone thinks is hot (if they're nice) or a slut (if they're not). The Shorttank girls often admire them, even when they playfully flirt with the much younger male lead and steal everyone's attention. Also, the [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] or [[Shrinking Violet]] girls will admire and at the same time envy how more open their Big Sister figure is with her thoughts and feelings.
 
This young lady may or may not catch a [[Shonen]] series lead's eye; if he hasn't entered puberty yet, she's more likely to be paired up with either [[The Big Guy]], the [[Team Dad]] or the [[Big Brother Mentor]]. Or ''maybe'', if she's persistent enough, she'll end up in an [[Odd Couple]] with an [[Aloof Big Brother]] or a single [[Hot Dad]]. She may also evolve into a [[Team Mom]] thanks to [[Character Development]].
Line 111:
* 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.
* In ''[[Aria (manga)|Aria]]'', Athena flip-flops between being a Cool Big Sis figure and [[The Load]], as far as the apprentice Undines are concerned. Akari tends to think of her as a Cool Big Sis, while Alice tends to think of her as a load. Considering the lack of male characters in the story, her status as a possible romantic partner is left unresolved.
