Line 7:
[[British Stuffiness|Mr. Stuffy]] is in a rut: Life is boring because he plays by the rules. Along comes this [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl|wild and crazy woman to show him how to live life to its fullest]], and she just might [[An Aesop|learn a few things along the way]], too.
Though the most common form of this trope is from male creators who idealize femininity as a saving force, it could be [[Gender Flip|Gender Flipped]]. Mr. Stuffy could be [[Fragile Flower|Ms.]] [[Housewife|Stuffy]] and the [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|wild angel could be male]] and help the [[Shrinking Violet|little wallflower]] come out of her shell and [[Beautiful All Along|blossom gloriously into a beautiful rose!]] Also, compare [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]]
They could be [[Queer As Tropes|LGBT]], as well (e.g. a [[Deadpan Snarker]] [[Seme]] with a [[Keet]] [[Uke]], [[Gravitation|mentioning no names]]).
Line 29:
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' has [[Official Couple|Italy and Germany]]. Germany is a [[Germanic Depressives|strict, military-oriented]] neat freak who can fall into [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] at times. Italy is [[The Ditz|clueless]], [[Genki Guy|hyperactive]], and [[Lovable Coward|loves to surrender]]. The [[Ship Tease]] between them is overwhelming.
** One could argue that [[Fan-Preferred Couple|America and England]] fall under this too. Although England is not as uptight as you might expect, his usually staid demeanor contrasts with America's [[Large Ham|hamminess]] and [[Idiot Hero|lovable idiocy]].
* Ranma and Akane from ''[[Ranma ½]]''.
* ''[[FAKE]]'': Ryo towards Dee which he will deny.
Line 121:
* Gender-flipped in ''[[Skins]]'' with Chris and Jal. Like the ''Gossip Girl'' example, Jal inspires Chris to work hard to get and keep a job, and Chris inspires Jal to let her hair down a little.
* ''[http://www.sitcomsonline.com/photopost/data/1460/medium/Free_Spirit_2.jpg Free Spirit]'' is a standard sitcom from [[The Eighties]] in which T.J. is a wise and reserved lawyer and wears sweater vests. Winnie is goofy and wacky and an immortal, magic-using [[Bewitched|witch]] with [[Eighties Hair|awesome hair]]. He has some kids [[Full House|but his wife is dead]]. She's the live-in nanny / [[Mr. Belvedere|housekeeper]]. Together, they spend 14 episodes making the audience wonder [[Will They or Won't They?]] ...before it was rightfully canceled.
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Greyhawk]]'' deities Wee Jas "[[Ice Queen|the Stern Lady]]" and Norebo "[[Loveable Rogue|the Lord of Chance]]" remain lovers for the last thousand years or so.
