* Ginny Weasley shows signs of this in ''[[Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix]]''. Everyone else has no idea how to deal with Harry's angry, angsty rampages. Ginny coolly and calmly defuses him.
* ''[[Discworld]]'': Reformed [[Gentleman Thief]] Moist Von Lipwig has his [[Love Interest]] Adora Bell "Spike" Dearhart. Part of the reason he was attracted to her in the first place was [[I Love You Because I Can't Control You|because she wasn't fooled by him]]. In his [[
** Having grown up as [[The Grim Reaper|Death]]'s adopted daughter, Ysabell was utterly unintimidated {{smallcaps|by his voice}}.

** There's an element of this with Gaius and Uther as well. He's one of the few who isn't afraid to call Uther out from time to time.
Line 72:
* Chizuru Kagura, the cool-headed [[Miko]] from [[The King of Fighters]], cannot make [[Anti-Hero|Iori]] [[Jerkass Woobie|Yagami]] completely bend to her will, but she ''can'' make him team-work with none other than his sworn enemy [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You|Kyo Kusanagi]].

* [[Handicapped Badass|Viktor]] and [[Genki Girl|Ivy]] have this relationship in ''[[Lackadaisy]]''.
