* [[Ice Queen|Fatima]], the antagonist Witch of ''[[Luminous Arc 2]]'', adequately mirrors the [[Hot Blooded|cheerful]] [[Playing With Fire|Althea]]. Arguably the most powerful Witch, her ability to mercilessly wreak havoc with [[Evil Is Deathly Cold|Shadow]][[An Ice Person|Frost]] magic is only equalled by another [[Absolute Cleavage|spectacular]] [[Thong of Shielding|demonstration]] of her "power". |

* ''[[Dragon Age]]'' has Morrigan, a shapeshifter who is well-spoken and cutting--and evil. In the [[Dragon Age]] toolset, she's also listed as one of the few characters with "High" intelligence, and her biography notes that she favors a look of wild elegance. She's the most evil member of the party, and NPCs often comment she's very beautiful. |

* Jessica from ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. Although she's a little more [[Fiery Redhead|fiery]] than this trope typically is, she has a rich upbringing, possesses a sharp tongue backed by a British accent, and generally has an overall bearing that's more lady than [[Genki Girl|genki]]. Also her [[Ms. Fanservice|penchant for fanservice]] is an actual game mechanic. |

* ''[[Radiant Historia (Video Game)|Radiant Historia]]'' has Eruca, a reserved literal [[Rebellious Princess]] who packs some of the most powerful offensive magic in the game. Raynie is a partial example, having the grace in battle and offensive power of a Lady, but being slightly more rough around the edges than is typical for this trope. |
