** [[TheDragon Princess Azula]] in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' gets much more screen time than her similarly-evil progenitor. She also serves as a foil to her brother, [[AntiVillain Zuko]], succeeding repeatedly where he fails [[spoiler:and eventually failing spectacularly, miserably, where he succeeds]].

** "Identity Crisis" featured the VictimOfTheWeek, a young woman in her early-twenties, the daughter of an infamous deceased ConMan who taught her everything he knew about grifting. What got her killed was her trying to the tell her boyfriend about a large score she could make from scamming two guys who themselves were trying to pull off a scam. She tells the boyfriend that the deal went wrong, and convinced him to empty his bank account, loan a large amount from his brother, and sell anything of value to pay them off. After months of not seeing her, he recognized her in the old man costume, and when she tried to fight him off, he killed her and fled the scene.
** "Cavaliino Rampante" dealt with two of a car thief's three daughters following him into the family business. He helps them focus on stealing Ferraris and gets killed for his trouble (along with one of the girls) when they snatch the car of an internationally wanted felon.

%%* Charmcaster has this sort of relationship with her uncle Hex in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}''.

* ''Literature/TheBookOfMormon'': Jared's [[TheEvilPrince attempt to overthrow]] his father the king has just failed. Jared's daughter suggests a plan for a successful overthrow: Jared's friend Akish would kill the king in exchange for her hand in marriage. The plan gets Jared the throne and Akish married to Jared's daughter. Later, Akish murders ''Jared'' and takes the kingdom for himself. (The account doesn't reveal how Jared's daughter feels about the events that made her queen.)

Viewers should neither expect her to be TheIngenue nor expect a HeelFaceTurn from her, even if [[VillainessesWantHeroes she falls for the hero]]. That would more be her just wanting him for herself than willingly joining his side; she'll want ''him'' to [[FaceHeelTurn willingly join]] ''her'' side (and his refusal is likely to inspire WomanScorned, however little reason she had to believe that he might accept).

* In Myth/ClassicalMythology, war god Ares has a literal AmazonBrigade of these--as in, he fathered [[TropeNamer the original Amazons themselves]], who due to ValuesDissonance were often depicted as a dangerous StrawFeminist BarbarianTribe (even if they ''[[AllAmazonsWantHercules could]]'' also be, er, friendlier once they got to know you). This makes the trope OlderThanFeudalism. Zigzagged in that, while Greek sources depict Ares as a petty, cowardly thug and as TheFriendNobodyLikes on Olympus, the ''Romans'' presented his counterpart Mars as [[AdaptationalHeroism much more honorable]].

* The animatronic known as Baby [[spoiler:or rather, Elizabeth Afton]] to her father [[spoiler:William Afton AKA [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3 Springtrap]]]] in ''[[VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator]]''. She is perfectly willing to kill you alongside her father and is fully capable of doing it.

%%* Mai Hem, Zhang Li's daughter in ''VideoGame/PerfectDark Zero''.

** In ''ComicBook/AllStarSuperman'', Lex Luthor has a niece, [[PerkyGoth Nastalthia]], who's eighteen, [[{{Omniglot}} speaks 30 languages]] and wants to conquer the world. She also appeared in UsefulNotes/{{the Bronze Age|OfComicBooks}} ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' comics and was nicknamed Nasty.

* In Myth/ClassicalMythology, Ares has a literal AmazonBrigade of these--as in, he fathered [[TropeNamer the original Amazons themselves]], who due to ValuesDissonance were often depicted as a dangerous StrawFeminist BarbarianTribe (even if they ''[[AllAmazonsWantHercules could]]'' also be, er, friendlier once they got to know you). This makes the trope OlderThanFeudalism.

* ''Series/TheRookie2018'': Oscar applauds his illegitimate daughter for her involvement in crime, and hopes his legacy will continue with her.

If she's above a certain age, [[EvilIsSexy she is going to be hot]], often [[EvilIsCool a cooler character than the female lead]], and [[SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains might wear less]]. If the bad guys are the YellowPeril or otherwise "Asian-themed", expect her to be a DragonLady.

* Subverted with [[spoiler:Eris Illmater]] in ''VisualNovel/TyrionCuthbertAttorneyOfTheArcane''. At first, she's revealed as the daughter of the Eyetaker, a notorious crime boss, and is just as involved in his day-to-day operations such as [[spoiler:pressing Ruby into making sure the heir to House Frega gets away with murder]]. Then it's revealed that [[spoiler:she's not his real daughter at all, and was merely disguising herself as the real Eris, whom she already disposed of]]. However, during the game's end credits, we see her having a conversation with her real father, where she's whining about [[spoiler:him "grounding" her from Wyverngarde]].

** [[DarkMagicalGirl Fate Testarossa]] is the daughter of [[MadScientist Precia]]/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Presea]], the first season's BigBad. While Fate did everything to make her mother happy, including trying to gather the [[MacGuffin 21 Jewel Seeds]], Precia just yelled at her and punished her with [[ATasteOfTheLash whip slaps]] or with ElectricTorture. The reason why Precia treats her like that was that [[spoiler:Fate was actually a failed clone and ReplacementGoldfish of her late and real daughter Alicia]]. For Precia, Fate was just a tool to accomplish her goal: [[spoiler:going to Al Hazard and finding a method to revive Alicia]].

* ''Anime/EurekaSeven'''s Anemone is very much this trope towards her commander [[BigBad Dewey Novak]], with a dash of {{Yandere}} thrown in for good measure. Unlike most, she [[spoiler: does make a HeelFaceTurn in the end, after she realizes just HOW depraved Dewey is, how he admitted to her that she's another expendable pawn in his grand scheme after going through the entire series treating her with extra special attention and "Love", and [[LoveRedeems Dominic's love for her changes her for the better]]]].

* Princess Lotora from ''[[http://fanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Hottie_3:_The_Best_Fan_Fic_in_the_World Hottie 3: The Best Fan Fic in the World]]''.
* ''Fanfic/JewelOfDarkness'': [[VillainProtagonist Raven/Midnight]] to Slade.

* Opal Koboi in ''Literature/ArtemisFowl''.

* Belinda Contague in Glen Cook's ''Literature/GarrettPI'' series.

* Angela Paco from ''Literature/TheVampireFiles''.

* Elenor Lamb in the bad ending of ''VideoGame/BioShock2''.

* Puchi Oguras #1 and #5 from ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendaryStarfy Densetsu No Stafy 2]]''.

* You'd think ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChroniclesMyLifeAsADarklord'' would feature this... but it doesn't, exactly. The current Darklord is all EvilOverlord, but according to the intro [[spoiler: and the previous game, ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChroniclesMyLifeAsAKing'']], her father was an AntiVillain who just wanted to protect monsters and provide them a place to live in peace.. but was more than willing to kill those who stood in the way of this goal. So... she doesn't take after her father in that she's ''more unambiguously evil and less sympathetic than him.'' [[spoiler:though by the end, it's flipped, in that she doesn't even qualify as an ''anti''-villain anymore, having realized that the ruthlessness of her father's methods actually failed to help anyone and trying to out-ruthless him isn't the way to succeed where he failed.]]
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'': Yunalesca being one of these to her father Yu Yevon is one of the reasons Spira is such a CrapsackWorld. [[spoiler:Apparently she ''could'' have designed the Final Aeon to be able to permanently destroy Sin and Yu Yevon, but she just couldn't bring herself to kill what was left of her father and Zanarkand. Cue 1000 years of suffering.]]

* Mai Hem, Zhang Li's daughter in ''VideoGame/PerfectDark Zero''.

* [[TheDragon Princess Azula]] in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' gets much more screen time than her similarly-evil progenitor. She also serves as a foil to her brother, [[AntiVillain Zuko]], succeeding repeatedly where he fails [[spoiler:and eventually failing spectacularly, miserably, where he succeeds]].
* In SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'':
** [[spoiler:[[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Asami Sato]]]] defies the trope. [[spoiler:When her father [[WeCanRuleTogether offered her]] a [[StaticStunGun shock glove]], she took it...and [[CombatPragmatist used it on him]].]]
** Played straighter with [[spoiler:Princess Eska]], and subverted with [[spoiler:her brother [[DudeLooksLikeALady Desna]], who is a sort of [[GenderInvertedTrope Rare Male Example]]]]. Eventually, though, their father [[spoiler:goes too far, past the point where they must draw the line]].

* Charmcaster has this sort of relationship with her uncle Hex in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}''.

* ''WesternAnimation/CodeNameKidsNextDoor'':

* From ''WesternAnimation/DaveTheBarbarian'', Princess Urmaplotz is a parody of the concept, as well as the PrincessClassic.

* Goldie, Goldfinger's daughter in ''WesternAnimation/JamesBondJr''.

* ''Film/ConanTheBarbarian2011'': Marique, witch daughter with WolverineClaws of Khalar Zym.

* Cerina in ''WesternAnimation/SkysurferStrikeForce''. She is a very a active participant in Cybercon's schemes, including stealing (back) a vial of an enlarging formula from Jack and sneaking into the hotel room Nate's mother is staying in to steal a magic figurine.

* Cerina in ''WesternAnimation/SkysurferStrikeForce''.
