A girl's boyfriend or father just lavishes love, attention and gifts on her. Especially gifts. [[Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry|Jewelry]], dresses, [[Pretty in Mink|fur coats]], vacations, and it all seems to come from...

== Anime
* Kumiko of ''[[Gokusen]]'' hits between here and [[Daddy's Little Villain]]; she has full knowledge of her [[Yakuza]] background, is proud of it, but doesn't intend to live/work as one, instead choosing to be a teacher.
* Ren from ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', subverted in that her family is getting squeezed by the new gangs and so she doesn't have lots of money and material possessions appearing from nowhere. (At least in the anime.)
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
* Uo Hakuron from ''[[Haou Airen]]'' was raised in [[The Triads and the Tongs]], and by age 14 he became one of their top assassins. When he turns 18, he's one of their most powerful leaders already.
** Hakuron's arranged fiancée Reilan is this, too.

* So is Nichigumi Saiko, granddaughter of the ''sosai'' of the Minato-kai Yakuza group in ''[[Drunkard's Walk|Drunkard's Walk S]]''.
== Film ==
Line 75 ⟶ 76:
* Jade from ''[[Bulletproof Monk]]''. Her father is in jail, so even if she didn't know before, she knows now.
* A couple girls from Semyon's family - his granddaughters - get plenty of attention in ''[[Eastern Promises]]''. Not as extreme of an example as some of the others here, but the way they're treated is used for a stark contrast with {{spoiler|how Semyon and the ''rest'' of his [[The Mafiya|family]] treat women, even implicitly children who may be his granddaughters' ages.}}
* Penelope Ann-Miller's character Tina in ''[[The Freshman (1990 film)|The Freshman]]''.
* Trish from ''[[Romeo Must Die]]'' is the "[[Spoiled Sweet]] who wants nothing to do with the family business" variety.
* In Baz Luhrmann's
Line 131 ⟶ 132:

* Subverted by {{spoiler|Crossroad, a rogue superheroine}} in ''[[Antihero for Hire]]''. She knows exactly what her family's up to, and it ''pisses her off.''
* Cora May from Bomango, whom Hector asked out after being "[http://vanheist.deviantart.com/art/Spite-Actually-432682890 immunized]" to rejection by Gogo seems to be one. If having a
== Web Original ==
* Blake Belladona from ''[[RWBY]]''. At the end of the second volume of the series, she tells Sun Wukong she was "born to [the White Fang]" (a political movement turned terrorist organization), and through the "Black" Trailer we saw that she is the former partner and love interest of a mid-level leader of the White Fang. In V4E5 we learn that she is the daughter of the original leader/founder of the White Fang, who stepped down five years before the start of the show.
== Western Animation ==
* ''[[Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman]]'' features Kathleen Duquesne, daughter of crimelord Carlton Duquesne.
* Borderline [[Deconstruction]] in [[Distaff Counterpart|Dani]] of ''[[Danny Phantom]]'', whose "[[Not Blood Related|dad]]" [[Moral Event Horizon|led her on and treated her quite badly]].

** She [[Take That Me|joked about this]] when she hosted ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', by saying her new boyfriend is a [[419 Scam|Nigerian prince]].
* Francine Lucas, the daughter of real life [[American Gangster]] Frank Lucas. Although he was caught when she was still very young, she recalls wearing lots of furs coats and expensive toys, and daddy hiding money in her teddy bears because there was more than they had hiding places for. She thought that he was in "the candy business". Now ''that'' is a good euphemism!
* Shoko Tendo, mild-mannered Japanese author whose entire body is covered in
** In an interesting inversion she claims in her memoirs to having been teased as a result of her father.
* [[Al Capone]] lavished his [[Spear Counterpart|son]] with expensive birthday parties.
