Line 440:
* ''[[She-Ra|She-Ra and the Princesses of Power]]'' lives off this. First off, we have the heroine, a reluctant [[Chosen One]] with a bad [[Guilt Complex]]; then we have Glimmer, a [[Badass Princess]] [[Anti-Hero]] who's enthusiastic almost to a fault. And to complete the [[Power Trio]] we have nerdy master archer Bow, the [[Only Sane Man]], ''most'' of the time. Add to this trio some oddball recurring characters: Perfuma, a [[Granola Girl]] [[Friend to All Living Things]] with a magical [[Green Thumb]], [[Our Mermaids Are Different|Mermista]], a snarky [[Tomboy Princess]] who has trouble expressing ''any'' emotion, and [[Little Miss Badass|Frosta]], a child princess whose ice powers seem to completely contradict her fiery and energetic enthusiasm. Oh, and occasionally they have [[Battle Couple|Netossa and Spinnerella]].
** The bad guys could fall under this too, actually. [[Cat Girl| Catra]] is the heroine's [[Poisonous Friend]] (and possible candidate for [[Foe Yay]]) whose biggest motivation seems to be jealousy; Scorpia is an amazonian scorpion-woman and [[Gentle Giant]] (at least until a battle starts) who is constantly trying to win Catra's approval [[Les Yay| (and possibly affection)]]; Entrata is a ditzy [[Wrench Wench]] who ''literally'' knows know fear, and is willing to take insane risks to satisfy her curiosity, leading to an [[Odd Friendship]] with Hordak himself. You could likely even add Hordak to this list, as he's not the typical [[Evil Overlord]], being an [[Clone Degeneration|imperfect clone]] of Horde Prime, wanting to prove his worth to his sire [[Being Evil Sucks| while being unable to even prove it to himself]]. Not that this makes him any less dangerous, of course...
* Another series that is defined by this trope, ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks]]'', even more so than the rest of the franchise. Among the main cast you have [[The Hero| Ensign Mariner]] (unconventional and undisciplined maverick who could be a leader of Kirk or Picard's fame if she didn't make an effort to reject authority and refuse promotion), [[The Lancer| Ensign Boilmer]] (cynical [[Dogged Nice Guy]] who is desperately looking for a purpose in life, usually [[The Chew Toy]]), [[The Chick|Ensign Tendi]] (bright eyed and eager newbie who is determined to prove her worth while [[Dark and Troubled Past| suppressing a dark past]]), and [[The Smart Guy| Ensign Rutherford]] ([[Ditzy Genius]] and [[Workaholic]] who is [[Married to the Job]]). The fourth season adds T'lyn to the team, a Vulcan who was transferred as a punishment for using her instincts (rather than logic) to guide a critical decision, currently determined to prove her worth to her people.
** The high ranking officers may be a [[Deuteragonist]] team, but they fit too. We have Captain Freeman (Mariner's mother, also a maverick but of a more organized sort, a [[Guile Hero]] who has mastered the [[Batman Gambit]] as a means of solving a crisis), Ransom (Freeman's [[Number Two]], a [[Narcissist]] and [[Testosterone Poisoning|annoyingly "macho"]] [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]] who acts as Mariner's [[Big Brother Mentor]]) [[The Medic| Dr. T'Ana]] ([[Sir Swearsalot| foul-mouthed]], [[Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!| elderly]] [[Dr. Jerk]], occasionally a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]) , and Security Chief Lieutenant Shaxs ([[Boisterous Bruiser]], [[No Sense of Personal Space| overly friendly]], arrogant [[Large Ham]], but someone you'd gladly follow to Hell and back, a trip may have already taken once).
