* Sarah Altman from ''[[Panic Room]]''.{{context}}
* In [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Disney's ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'']], despite Snow White's motherly and gentle nature, not having a mean bone in her body, she does possess a sense of sassiness and sarcasm, such as when she recognises Grumpy and announces it mockingly, "Oooh, you must be Grumpy" in a deep voice. Not buying the dwarfs' bluffs upon being asked whether they washed their hands for dinner, she sarcastically responds "Oh, recently". And after Grumpy bumps into a wall, Snow snarkily asks him, "Did you hurt yourself?"
** A [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7lk0B7HLNI deleted scene] of the dwarfs' bedroom argument scene has Snow intervene during a fight that ensues, later blackmailing the dwarfs into letting her stay much to Grumpy's chagrin.

* Bridgette DuBois from ''[[Medium]]''.{{context}}

* The little girl on ''[[Friends]]'' (played by Dakota Fanning) that lived in the house that Monica &and Chandler were going to buy.{{context}}
** There was a little girl, but she died 20 years ago. (spooky music)
* Raj's little sister Dee on ''[[What's Happening]]''.{{context}}
* ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' episode "Harmony", the eponymous heroine fulfills this trope because she is a [[Royal Brat]].

== [[Literature]] ==
* Elva from the ''[[Inheritance Cycle]]''.{{context}}
* Adah in ''[[The Poisonwood Bible]]''.{{context}}
* Jenny Wren in [[Charles Dickens|Dickens']] ''Our Mutual Friend''. She has a good reason for being so jaded, since her father's irresponsibility and severe alcholismalcoholism leave her, at the age of about thirteen, to be the responsible adult of the household.
* Elani from ''[[Broken Sky]]''.{{context}}
* Several child characters in [[Dean Koontz]]'s works would definitely qualify. Lelani Klonk from ''One Door Away From Heaven'' and Regina from ''Hideaway'', to name a couple.{{context}}
* Ginny Weasley from ''[[Harry Potter]]''.{{context}}
** Hermione also gets her moments.{{context}}
* Ivy (aka The Archive) from ''[[The Dresden Files]]'' makes an attempt at this on behalf of the incapacitated protagonist. He notes that she's not very good at it yet, but he gets choked up nonetheless.{{context}}
* While her childish curiosity or perceived psychological instability are the character traits usually played up in adaptations, Alice from ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]'' could be surprisingly sarcastic and was never one to suffer fools gladly. Her opinion of the Queen of Hearts is a prime example.
* ''[[Percy Jackson]]'': Artemis, Zoë Nightshade and Thalia. Also subverted, since Artemis and Zoë turned out to be [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]].{{context}}
* Rachel from the ''[[Sword of Truth]]'' series. Has no problem calling out [[Badass|Chase]] when he complains about the poultice he's forced to apply by telling him that if he'd just listened to her in the first place, he probably wouldn't have been hurt by the [[Eldritch Abomination]] he was surprised by and he wouldn't have to take the burning medicine.
* The Cadpig from "''[[The Hundred and One Dalmations"Dalmatians]]'' and "''The Starlight Barking"'' by Dodie Smith. Okay, so she's a [[Precious Puppies|puppy]], but that just adds to the cuteness.{{context}}
* ''[[Pippi Longstocking]]'' combines this with being a [[Genki Girl]] and [[Cloudcuckoolander]]. Her snarky moments are most frequent in the original books, but she has her moments in most of the adaptations as well.
* ''[[Young Wizards]]'': Dairine Callahan.{{context}}
 
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
* Heart Lamarr, the title character of ''[[Heart of the City]]''.{{context}}
* Susie Derkins, from ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]],'' provides the page image.

* Little Red in ''[[Into the Woods]]''.
{{quote|''"Ahahaha, you can talk to birds?!"''}}
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Vanilla H. of ''[[Galaxy Angel (video game)|Galaxy Angel]]'', though in the anime, she is a bit more nonsensical than most deadpan snarkers.{{context}}
* Etna from ''[[Disgaea]]''. She's almost never without a snarky comment about her traveling companions.
Line 157:
* Sheba from ''[[Golden Sun]]''.{{context}}
* Dinah from ''[[Summon Night]]: Swordcraft Story 2'' is both this and a [[Noble Demon]]. She makes a good foil to the sensitive and kinda ditzy [[Player Character]].{{context}}
* ''[[BlazBlue|Rachel]]'': Rachel is this in spades. And when she sees a spade, she simply calls it as such.
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* Rose from ''[[Homestuck]]'' has this as a major part of her personality.{{context}}
* Tycho's niece Anne from ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' has her moments.
{{quote|'''Galahad:''' You're breaking up with me?
'''Anne:''' I just have a lot going on right now. With school, and, you know, ''zombies''. }}
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
* Marie Swanson in ''[[ErikasErika's New Perfume]]'', post [[Fountain of Youth|regression]]. There's something to be said about the most snarky (and for that matter, arguably most clever) character in the series being three years old.{{context}}<!-- go ahead and say it -->
 
== [[Western Web Original Animation]] ==
* Marie Swanson in ''[[Erikas New Perfume]]'', post [[Fountain of Youth|regression]]. There's something to be said about the most snarky (and for that matter, arguably most clever) character in the series being three years old.{{context}}<!-- go ahead and say it -->

* Gosalyn from [[Darkwing Duck]]{{context}}
* Lisa ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|SimpsonThe Simpsons]].{{context}}'':
** Lisa Simpson.{{context}}

* Kimi Finster from ''[[Rugrats]]'' would eventually become this in [[All Grown Up!]], contradictory to her lovable self in the original series (with the exception of the newspaper comic strips), more less towards her brother, Chuckie Finster (and sometimes the other "Rats") on separate occasions.{{context}}
* Gwen Tennyson from the original ''[[Ben 10]]'', frequently.{{context}}
* Tanya Mousekewitz in the direct-to-video sequels of ''[[An American Tail]]''.{{context}}
