▲She's the [[Daddy's Girl|daughter/niece/granddaughter/etc.]] of an [[Evil Overlord]], who shares her parent's [[Ambition Is Evil|ambition]], cunning, and/or cruelty. She could be anything from a simple [[Spoiled Brat]] to an Overlord in waiting. Also likely to be a [[Everything's Better With Princesses|Princess]] (but almost never [[Princesses Prefer Pink|wear pink, almost]]).
But she is a villain just like her guardian. Viewers should neither expect her to be [[The Ingenue]] nor expect a [[Heel Face Turn]] from her, even if [[Villainesses Want Heroes|she falls for the hero]]. That would more be her just wanting him for herself than willingly joining his side (and his refusal is likely to inspire [[Woman Scorned]], however little reason she had to believe that he might accept). She may be a [[Dark Action Girl]], or more rarely be a [[Dark Magical Girl]].

▲* ''[[Eureka Seven (Anime)|Eureka Seven]]'''s Anemone is very much this trope towards her commander [[Big Bad|Dewey Novak]], with a dash of [[Yandere]] thrown in for good measure.

But when Garimoth told her to kill her teammate Roll before taking her back, Pai rebelled and rejoined the group.}}

[[Evil Laugh|Really, really]] [[Complete Monster|well]].
▲* Mariemaia Barton from the ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (Anime)|Mobile Suit Gundam Wing]]'' OVA. She is (allegedly) the illegitimate daughter of Treize Kushrenada and a nurse. She tries to [[World Domination|take over the world]] [[Troubling Unchildlike Behavior|at the age of eight]], "the way her father would have wanted." {{spoiler|Some evidence, however, suggests that she is not Treize's daughter at all, but just a random girl found and groomed by [[Big Bad|Dekim]] to assume the role.}}
** Treize's daughter or not, the ultimate irony is that Kushrenada was more of a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] who ultimately believed in peace, while Mariemaia knowingly tried to start another war just after a rather devastating one had finally wrapped up.

Only {{spoiler|she's not as innocent as he thinks, as she's been sleeping with one of his lieutenants and eventually convinces him to betray her dad for her. Then it turns out she had been manipulating the guy all along, intentionally setting him up to be caught and executed just for her own amusement, and the whole thing was just a way of expressing her disturbing obsessive feelings toward her father.}}
** Even worse, {{spoiler|she poisoned her own mother and made it look like a suicide because she felt she was making Golgath soft.}}
* [[Shazam|Captain Marvel]] has a good example of the difference between this and [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter]]. Marvel's archenemy Sivana has four kids.

* In the Danish film ''[[Pusher]] 3'', Serb druglord Milo's daughter clearly wears the pants in the family, ordering her flustered father around to prepare for her 25th birthday party. After Milo discovers that her boyfriend is an independent drug dealer and forces him to buy his product for distribution, his daughter finds out and hardballs his price down. What a family!
* Though we don't get to see them in action, Mr. Han from ''[[Enter the Dragon]]'' trained his daughters to be his most loyal guard. As Roper says upon finding out how tough they can be, "No one's more loyal than Daddy's little girl."

* In [[William Shatner]]'s novel ''[[Ashes Of Eden]]'', the [[Big Bad]]'s daughter has been brainwashed by her father into doing everything she can to kill Kirk. Why? Because her mother was killed by Klingons shortly before Kirk helped sign the peace treaty, preventing her father from exacting revenge on them. She opts to die with her father rather than let Kirk [[Save the Villain|save her]].
* Vestara Khai from ''[[
** Indeed, in ''Vortex'', {{spoiler|she saves Luke and Ben from the Sith. ''Twice''.}} Also, this trope takes an interesting turn when {{spoiler|Vestara killed Lord Taalon, who was "too far above her station", thus making her own father (and lots of other Sith) want to kill her.}} Afterwards, she decides to stick around and help Luke and Ben.

** Petyr Baelish is trying to get Alayne Stone/ {{spoiler|Sansa Stark}} to play this role, although there is much speculation as to where this will lead.
** It seems likely that Cersei would have been this to Tywin Lannister when she was younger, except she never forgave him for failing to deliver on his promise to secure her marriage to Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. After years of being married to Robert Baratheon, their relationship has soured considerably.

* Phaidor, daughter of the Thern (White Martian) [[Priest King]] from the second and third ''[[John Carter of Mars]]'' novels. Her dad is the head of a planet-spanning [[Path of Inspiration]] which manipulates the other Martian races into being slaves and/or [[I'm a Humanitarian|food]] for their people, and she's not only completely cool with it, she finds the idea of any other way of life unthinkable, and while [[Villainesses Want Heroes|she's attracted to Carter]], it's mostly because he's [[Badass]] and she's [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good|utterly dumbfounded]] by why he does the things he does. {{spoiler|Then she gets a dose of [[Break the Haughty]] when she finds out that ''another'' Martian race, the Firs Born, are using the Therns the same way the Therns use everyone else, followed shortly by Carter exposing the whole thing and toppling it.

* In the ''[[Cthulhu Mythos]]'', the Great Cthulhu itself has a daughter; while Cthulhu and its mate Idh-Yaa are regarded as being ambiguous gender, their offspring Cthylla (aka The Kraken or The Secret One) is usually labeled female. Cults of Cthulhu (including [[Fish People|the Deep Ones]]) keep her existence a closely guarded secret, because she acts as an "emergency plan B" for the Great Old Ones. Should Cthulhu ever be killed, Cthylla could restore her father by giving birth to him - exactly how this would work is something best left unexplored.

▲== Live Action TV ==
▲* Despite not really being his daughter, Faith winds up very much playing this role to The Mayor on the third season of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' -- she's his loyal [[The Dragon|Dragon]], of whom he is clearly protective. Buffy sending her into a coma led to [[Affably Evil|his one swear word]] and Buffy taunting him about said loss led to his defeat. Many scenes between Faith and the Mayor involved him giving her gifts and general life advice alongside assassination missions.
** Nice little call back in the Season Eight comics, showing that Faith remembers him fondly despite her [[Heel Face Turn]].

* Similarly to the above, there is a Jewish folktale about a merchant's son who fell in love with the daughter of the Demon-king Ashmodeus and while she aided him against her father, found that her spouse had a roving eye, and likewise killed his entire human family.
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'':
** Two prominent examples, both archdevils from the Nine Hells of Baator.
*** Glasya is nothing less than the daughter of Asmodeus, Overlord of Hell. She went through a long rebellious phase, but then the two of them reached an accord and Glasya was given the sixth hell of Malbolge to rule over - her first act was to do some remodeling using the Hag Countess, the layer's previous ruler, as a building material. This act sent shockwaves through Hellish politics, reminding the other archdukes that Asmodeus could replace any of them at any time, particularly unnerving Levistus, the duke who murdered Glasya's mother, and Mammon, her on-again off-again paramour. As for Glasya herself, she's too busy these days to seduce paladins and other righteous mortals herself, but still enjoys promising a victim carnal delights beyond imagination only to instead rot the flesh from their bones with a horrible contagion.
*** Lady Fierna is the nominal ruler of Phlegethos, though for most of her reign her dear father Belial wielded most of the power while Fierna enjoyed herself (often with him). But she's recently become best friends with Glasya and is taking a much more active role in governing, even setting up her own cultist and intelligence networks "just in case" of her father's sudden demise. Belial is smart enough to be very, very worried.
** Related but minor example - any mercenary willing to do business in the court of Mephistopheles in Cania is well-advised to watch what he says around the half-fiend-half-elf bard Lady Antilia, the High Cantor. Few know she is Mephistopheles' daughter, and should anyone drop hints of betrayal or treachery that she hears, her father will hear it very soon. Another safety tip to keep in mind is, if Antilia doesn't like you, be wary; [[Yandere| if she ''does'' like you, be ''terrified''.]]
** On the other side of the Lower Planes, Graz'zt clearly has a lot of children, given his reputation as a lecherous rake, his most infamous being Iuz the Old, an example of [[Overlord, Jr.]]. But as far as this Trope goes, Thraxxia is the most notorious, her father's loyal and deadly assassin and spy.

* Tabitha/Larissa from ''[[Advance Wars]]: Days of Ruin'', who is
* Nina Cortex, the niece of Dr. Neo Cortex {{spoiler|(although it has been speculated that she may actually be his daughter)}} in the ''[[Crash Bandicoot]]'' series.
* Wendy O. Koopa from the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. She and the other Koopalings [https://www.mariowiki.com/Koopalings#Family_relationship were introduced as Bowser's children] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''; even after a [[Retcon]] that changed them to be Bowser's foremost [[Elite Mooks]], the Koopalings are still portrayed as siblings, and Wendy is framed as being the spoiled bratty "daughter" figure among them.

* You'd think ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life
* Elenor Lamb in the bad ending of ''[[
* ''[[Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin]]'' plays with this: while Stella and Loretta aim to take down the heroes, they do it independently of [[Overprotective Dad|Brauner]], who insists they stay out of harm's way. {{spoiler|They're also not actually his daughters, having been [[Brainwashed and Crazy|brainwashed]] to believe that Brauner is their father.}}
* The ''[[
* Puchi Oguras #1 and #5 from ''[[The Legendary Starfy|Densetsu No Stafy 2]]''.
* In ''[[Mystery Case Files]]: 13th Skull'', the actual villain of the story has a [[Creepy Child|disturbing little girl]] who is {{spoiler|fully aware of and ''involved in'' their plan to use and then kill the protagonist}}.
* ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'': Yunalesca being one of these to her father Yu Yevon is one of the reasons Spira is such a [[Crapsack World]]. {{spoiler|Apparently she ''could'' have designed the Final Aeon to be able to permanently destroy Sin and Yu Yevon, but she just couldn't bring herself to kill what was left of her father and Zanarkand. Cue 1000 years of suffering.}}
* Sage from ''[[Sonic Frontiers]]'' is an AI created by Dr. Eggman to assist in his evil plans. Despite initially viewing her as a tool like his other creations, he grows genuinely fond of her and comes to view her as a daughter, though he has trouble showing affection due to being a gruff narcissist prone to keeping his softer side close to the chest. Sage, on the other hand, embraces her role as his daughter figure and desperately wants him to show her proper affection. Their relationship is one of the game's biggest emotional elements, since it not only humanizes the otherwise sociopathic Eggman, but has Sage mellow out from being a stoic, rude [[Anti Villain]] and develop into a genuine hero thanks to Sonic's influence, {{spoiler|culminating in a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] that leaves Eggman heartbroken when he realizes what she has to do. Thankfully she gets better thanks to his technological wizardry, and the game ends after a tender moment of him showing her the fatherly affection she desperately craved}}.
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[The Adventures of Wiglaf and Mordred]]'' has a
* Lucrezia Mongfish from ''[[
▲* ''[[The Adventures of Wiglaf and Mordred]]'' has a [[Daddy's Little Villain]] so interested in following in her father's footsteps as a henchman that she gets her new [[Our Zombies Are Different|partner]] out of trouble with her dad by turning her dad on the [[Chronic Hero Syndrome|hero]]. Hagen explains in the face of her new [[Signed Up for The Dental|partner's]] incredulity with "[http://liliy.net/wam/archive/what-did-you-expect/ What did you expect? I'm a henchman too, ya know.]"
▲* Lucrezia Mongfish from ''[[Girl Genius (Webcomic)|Girl Genius]]'' is equal parts this and [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter]]. Whether she ever actually did a [[Heel Face Turn]] or not remains a matter of debate, even though she's sort of dead... and sort of not.
== [[Web Original]] ==
* Maybe half the girls in the Bad Seeds, the club at [[Super-Hero School|Whateley Academy]] in the ''[[Whateley Universe]]'' for children of supervillains. Jobe is the child of Gizmatic, and as such is now the heir apparent and princess of Karedonia.
* The [[Evil Overlord List]] recommends that if an evil overlord ends up having kids, make them get involved in the family business early and shower them with love. That way when the hero shows up you have a no win situation for the big hero: they either kill the evil overlord in front of his little girl, walk away, or convince said little girl to come with them (at which point she pulls out her little gun and shoots him in the kneecap).▼

* Rava from ''[[Galtar and
*
* Shreeky from the ''[[Care Bears]]'' series is a different type. She is spoiled and bratty. And as a villain, she and Beastly act like a [[Terrible Trio]] (with No Heart being the leader).
* From ''[[Dave the Barbarian]]'', Princess Urmaplotz is pretty much a parody of the concept, as well as the [[Princess Classic]].
* Cerina in ''[[Skysurfer Strike Force]]''
* Goldie, Goldfinger's daughter in the animated series ''[[James Bond Jr.]].''
* Charmcaster has this sort of relationship with her uncle Hex in ''[[
* On the cartoon show ''[[Jimmy Neutron]]'', Beautiful Gorgeous, the [[Femme Fatale]] daughter of Professor Finbar Calamitous, constantly bickers with daddy when they scheme together. Their one mission together involved kidnapping Action Hero (real and TV star) Jet Fusion.
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]''{{'}}s resident [[Mad Scientist]], Dr. Doofenshmirtz, likes to ''think'' that [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter|his daughter]] Vanessa is this. While she was completely unreceptive to the idea at first, later episodes seem to hint that [[Character Development|she might be heading in that direction after all]], even if she still denies it.
* Played completely straight with Creeping Ivy, daughter of Thorn, in ''[[Herself The Elf]]''. She also shares her father's [[Harmless Villain|competency]] and [[For the Evulz|motivation]], to the delight of the protagonists. The extremes to which she takes after her father in personality are actually quite surprising when one considers that she is also [[
* [[Fiery Redhead|Numbuh 86]] from ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' is a subversion of this. She's [[Straw Feminist|extremely unpleasant]], is feared by just about everyone, and is the daughter of Mr. Boss...who happens to be the bad guys' leader. However, she herself is [[Action Girl|actually one of the good guys' leaders.]] Doesn't stop her from getting along with her Dad, though.
** [[Creepy Child|The female Delightful Children]] could count as an adopted variation of this trope.
* ''[[Super Mario Bros Super Show]]'' cartoon amps up this tendency in Bowser's daughter Wendy O. Koopa, as mentioned in the Video Games folder. Bowser (called Koopa in the cartoon) lets all of his kids wreak havoc in the episodes where they appear, but is particularly adoring of his only daughter.
* Downplayed with Princess Morebucks from ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''. While her billionaire father isn't known to do anything evil personally, he still funds his daughter's villainous schemes.
== [[Real Life]] ==▼
▲== Real Life ==
* According to histories, Julia Drusilla, the toddler daughter of [[Emperor Caligula|Caligula]] himself, was shaping up to be one of these. Upon being told that his daughter had attacked her playmates and tried to scratch their eyes out, he bragged that there was no dispute of who her father was. She was also stated to have attacked her mother's assassins during Caligula's fall. This might have [[Reality Is Unrealistic|all been true]], or simply a [[Unreliable Narrator|justification]] for the soldiers to have [[Squick|seized a two year-old girl by the ankles and swung her head against the wall]].
** Caligula's sister, Julia Agrippina the Younger, was the ultimate example. Because of her brother's [[Brother-Sister Incest|unnatural devotion]] to her, Julia held sway over the politics in Rome. She made an attempt to overthrow him after he went completely nuts, but was caught and exiled. After his assassination, she returned triumphantly to work her way back to the top and marry the new emperor, Claudius - her uncle. After living the high life again for a while, she convinced Claudius to name her own son his heir. She then killed him and put her young son on the throne as her puppet. That son would be Nero. She is perhaps best described in ''[[Badass of the Week|Badass]]'':

▲* Gulnora "Guli" Karimova, daughter of [[Useful Notes/Uzbekistan|Uzbek]] dictator Islam Karimov, is likely to inherit control of Uzbekistan from her father. As the Uzbek ambassador to the UN, she has tried to cover up her father's acts of tyranny and give the Karimov regime a pretty face. She has also launched a clothing line made from cotton picked by child labor, sent mercenaries to kidnap her ex-husband's family, taken control of the Uzbek tea industry, and filled Uzbek radio and TV stations with her pop songs, released under her diminutive name "Gugusha." As she is only 40, there is still plenty of time for Gulnora Karimova to step out of her father's shadow and develop her own form of depraved tyranny.
