Literally, a formal Japanese word for "young lady", the term '''Ojou''' (often ''Ojou-san'' or ''Ojou-sama'', as they are the more formal honorifics) is typically used in anime when referring to wealthy, high-class female characters.

* All but one of the harem from ''[[Princess Lover]]'' also qualifies. Two of them are actual Ojous, and the remaining seems to be the head of a large fashion company.

* Touka from ''[[Saki (manga)|Saki]]'' is a classic version...[[Verbal Tic|desu wa]]!

** Upon hearing that she's from Tokiwadai, Misaka is usually assumed by everyone to be a [[Rich Bitch]]... until it turns out that she's a [[Tsundere|deredere]] [[Nice Girl]] with a heaping help of [[Little Miss Badass]] [[Person of Mass Destruction|for those who don't get it]].

* ''[[Ladies versus Butlers!]]'' is practically filled with this trope, most of the characters are high class [[Blue Blood]]. Sernia Flameheart is at the top of the heap though, with the hair, laugh and (for the first part of the story) attitude, but she lacks the respect of others, who only call her Ojou as a kind of mocking, usually prefering to refer to her as 'Drill' after her hairstyle.

* Trixie Tang on ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'' is the richest girl in town, and everyone bows to her when she enters the bus (after an introduction said by the bus driver, no less).

* Whitney Stane of ''[[Iron Man: Armored Adventures]]'' is one of these, as the daughter of a high-class CEO.

 

== Real Life ==

* Western example: [[wikipedia:Queen Silvia of Sweden|Silvia Renate Sommerlath]], daughter of a German businessman. She married Carl Gustav XVI from Sweden and is now his Queen.

* Similarly, Queen Noor of Jordan, born Lisa Hallaby.
