Line 88:
* Yuna in [[Final Fantasy X-2]]. She goes from being a White Mage / Songstress / Summoner (All the stock 'female' jobs in that franchise) to being gun slinging [[Action Girl]] who thanks to the metagame Dressphere system, can be any of several 'boyish' jobs such as Warrior, Dark Knight and Berserker.
* Fitting with the Alice in Wonderland example in Film, Alice takes ''several'' levels in [[Badass]] in [[American McGee's Alice]]. Justified as it's a [[Battle in the Center of the Mind]].
** McGee tried to make a similar game called ''Ozombie'' which would have given Dorothy from ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]'' a similar makeover, but alas, the Kickstarter campaign for it came up
* Princess Zelda has progressively become more active in the games as the series went on. Originally just a classic [[Damsel in Distress]], in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'' she gained the badass ([[Sweet Polly Oliver|though male]]) alter-ego Sheik, who admittedly didn't do much against the actual [[Big Bad]]. But in the later games, starting with ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'', it became her schtick to fire Light Arrows at Ganon during the final battle, and in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks]]'' she even {{spoiler|helps Link push his sword into Malladus' head}}. ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]'' has her {{spoiler|spending most of the game entombed in crystal and serving as a [[Damsel in Distress]] again at the very end, but the first part has her getting all the way through one and a half major areas by herself before getting caught and needing Impa's help for bodyguard services, not to mention her backstory}}.
* ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': Princess Peach goes through this for every spinoff game. In the main series, she rarely does more than get kidnapped by a turtle, but in other games she tends to be a very strong and capable character. Most notably in [[Super Smash Bros.]], where she is a very powerful fighter for her weight class.
