Later, when Speedy/Red Arrow left and Superboy joined them, he replaced Speedy as the Cynic and Miss Martian came in as the Conflicted. Robin is sort of an odd duck in that he fits the apathetic definition most of the time, but this is at least partly because he doesn't like to slow down long enough to actually consult with his team members much less debate philosophy. Whenever he actually '''does''' slow down to talk strategy with the rest of the team, it's usually because the situation has gotten so bad that Robin has taken over as de-facto commander -- at which point he doesn't debate; he just gives orders which the others meekly follow.

** The Optimist: Twilight Sparkle, and Pinkie Pie
** The Apathetic: Fluttershy
** The Realist: Applejack, and Rarity
*** Twilight Sparkle can also fit as The Realist, depending on the episode, while Rarity (and sometimes Pinkie Pie) tend to show shades of The Conflicted from time to time.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': Blossom (the Realist), Bubbles (the Optimist), Buttercup (the Cynic), Professor Utonium (the Apathetic)

* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'': Fred (the Optimist), Velma (the Realist), Daphne (the Apathetic), and Shaggy (the Conflicted). The role of the Cynic is filled by various secondary characters, most notably Sheriff Stone. Interesting to note is that while they fit this pattern both philosophically and functionally, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Fred]], [[DeadpanSnarker Velma]] and [[TheChick Daphne]] have personalities more closely associated with Apathetic, Cynic and Optimist, respectively.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Sidekick}}'' has the four main characters: Eric (Realist), Trevor (Apathetic), Vana (Cynic) and Kitty (Optimist).
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Homer and Bart (the Cynics), Marge (the Optimist), Lisa (the Realist), and Maggie (the Apathetic).

** Pearl (the Cynic), Garnet (the Realist), Amethyst (the Apathetic), Rose Quartz and Steven (both the Optimist).
** Yellow Diamond (the Cynic), Blue Diamond (the Realist), Pink Diamond (the Optimist), and White Diamond (the Apathetic)
* ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'': Leonardo is disciplined, balanced and the group leader (Optimist, yet the Realist); Donatello is intelligent, has special skills and always busy (Realist, yet the Apathetic); Raphael is hostile, skeptical and rude (the Cynic); Michaelangelo is foolish, determined and optimistic - (Apathetic).
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': Starfire and Beast Boy are the optimists, Cyborg is the realist, Raven is the cynic, and Robin is the conflicted.
* From ''WesternAnimation/{{VeggieTales}}'': Bob the Tomato (the Realist), Larry the Cucumber (the Optimist), Archibald Asparagus (the Cynic), and Jimmy and Jerry Gourd (both the Apathetic).
* ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'': The five protagonists - Will (Realist), Irma (Apathetic), Taranee (Conflicted), Cornelia (Cynic), Hay Lin (Optimist). However, Will and Cornelia frequently swap roles depending on the situation. Also the supporting characters, Caleb (Cynic - though with strong traits of Optimist), Matt (Realist), Blunk (Apathetic), Elyon (Conflicted - then later the Realist), Aldarn (Optimist).
* ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'': Omi (conflicted), Raimundo (cynic), Clay (realist), Kimiko (optimist) and Dojo (apathetic).
* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'': At the beginning when there were only 4 members, it was Speedy/Red Arrow (the Cynic), Kid Flash (the Optimist), Aqualad (the Realist), and Robin (Apathetic). Later, when Speedy/Red Arrow left and Superboy joined them, he replaced Speedy as the Cynic and Miss Martian came in as the Conflicted.
** Robin is sort of an odd duck in that he fits the apathetic definition most of the time, but this is at least partly because he doesn't like to slow down long enough to actually consult with his team members much less debate philosophy. Whenever he actually '''does''' slow down to talk strategy with the rest of the team, it's usually because the situation has gotten so bad that Robin has taken over as de-facto commander -- at which point he doesn't debate; he just gives orders which the others meekly follow.
* ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' (season 2 onward): Jackie (the Realist), Jade (the Optimist), Uncle (the Cynic), and Tohru (the Apathetic).
* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': Hank Hill (the Realist), Dale Gribble (the Cynic), Bill Dauterive (the Optimist), and Boomhauer (the Apathetic).
