* In [[Joseph Jacobs]]'s "[https://web.archive.org/web/20131017031044/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/twelvedancing/stories/katiecrackernuts.html Katie Crackernuts]", the [[Wicked Stepmother]] has her stepdaughter Anne's head turned into a sheep's head because she is more beautiful than her own daughter. (Somewhat subverted; her own daughter Katie is in fact the heroine of the story, opposing her mother since she actually ''likes'' Anne.)
* In "[https://web.archive.org/web/20131207045438/http://surlalunefairytales.com/bearskin/index.html Bearskin]", when the hero, appalling shaggy, filthy and ragged, but rich, rescues a man from financial distress, the man promises that he may marry one of his daughters. Only [[Youngest Child Wins|the youngest]] is willing. However, his appearance stemmed from a [[Deal with the Devil]], and that being over, [[She Cleans Up Nicely|he cleans up nicely]], and the older sisters are reduced to envy and commit [[Driven to Suicide|suicide]] out of [[The Resenter|resentment]]. {{spoiler|[[Batman Gambit|The demon that made the deal then took their souls]].}}
