* Arguably, the dub version of Sailor Mercury from ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' is given an accent that is at least slightly English. Luna also would fit in the dub since she's an intelligent [[Mentor Mascot]] who does a lot of strategy planning for the "Scouts" and is generally portrayed as more intelligent than Artemis.
* Ayeka from the various ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' continuities, alone of the non-Earthling characters, speaks with a British accent in the English-language dubs. However, this is a [[Woolseyism]], representing her exclusive use of [[Keigo|an antique and extremely formal form of Japanese]] in the original version.
