* The main character of ''Manga/GushingOverMagicalGirls'', Hiiragi Utena is a PlayedForLaughs example. She was recruited to be the Tres Magia magical girl team's greatest foe (by not telling her which side she would be fighting her), her mentor manipulating her into giving into her darker desires (leaving BDSM porn mags for her to find), and she's TrappedInVillainy (under threat of her various videos being released to twitter or her porn mags being left for her mother to find).

** ''AudioPlay/StrikersSoundStageX'' gives us another Dark Magical Girl, although her identity is a major spoiler: [[spoiler:Runessa Magnus, the former {{Child Soldier|s}} from a CrapsackWorld, who fell under the influence of an interdimensional terrorist, seeing him as her father figure and carrying out his agenda even after his death. To this end, she becomes Teana's partner, allowing her to manipulate the investigation of her own crimes, but is eventually discovered and apprehended by Tea. Notably, SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occurs in this case, and Runessa doesn't get a GetOutOfJailFreeCard like the other examples but keeps serving her time in later installments--although Teana regularly visits her in prison, presumably, in an attempt to rehabilitate her]].

* ''ComicBook/{{Tomboy}}'': A very unique example of the trope. The magical girl elements are a result of a combination of the main characters hallucinations and the fact that she's a fan of an in-universe, more traditional magical girl, Princess Cherry Cherry. The princess herself becomes a sort of dark magical girl as Addison sees hallucinations [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane (or maybe visions?)]] of Princess Cherry Cherry encouraging her to seek bloody vengeance for the murder of her boyfriend and his dad, and telling her to transform when enraged or in danger.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia's'' Shanoa is a rare example of the protagonist being this type of character, an EmotionlessGirl with little apparent life outside the titular Order of Ecclesia dedicated to destroying Dracula once and for all. Her story ends with her [[spoiler:having to kill her brother who was trying to stop her from inadvertently killing herself due to their master's manipulations, having said master sacrifice his life to release Dracula after a brutal battle where he cruelly taunts her the entire time. Though she eventually destroys Dracula in the end, she's left an empty shell with her family gone and no apparent purpose in life left.]] And her lack of social skills become quite apparent when talking to the villagers she rescues. To drive home the point, a late-game Glyph power-up gives her jet black wings whereas traditional magical girls like ''Anime/CardcaptorSakura'' would receive white angelic wings.

* ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'': Ursule Valois girl who can walk on air, and whose stated ideals run counter to the nature of the Sword Roses (counting SixthRanger Yuri Leik) as a collaborative group of equal friends, insisting that the only purpose for other living things is as a tool for one's own use--which Oliver and Nanao realize is just a thinly veiled attempt to rationalize away the abusive TrainingFromHell she suffered at the hands of her GruesomeGrandparent. [[spoiler:She ultimately is forced to stop rationalizing it and accept that people other than herself have merit, courtesy of all that abuse proving pointless in the face of Team Horn's fluid teamwork.]]
