'''Granny Weatherwax:''': Oh ''obvious.'', I'll grant you it's ''obvious.'' Trouble is, just because things are obvious doesn't mean they're true.\\
'''Magrat:''' Yes, but the point is-\\
'''Granny:''' The point is, that people are going to come looking. Serious people. Serious looking. Pull-down-the-walls and burn-off-the-thatch looking. And-\\

* The Queens in ''Theatre/SixTheMusical''. Jane Seymour and Catherine Parr are the Nice, with the former being a loving wife and mother, and admitting she lacks the fire of some of the other queens, while the latter is the first to point out how stupid and pointless their game of MiseryPoker is. Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard are the Mean, the former throwing plenty of insults Catherine of Aragon's way and admitting her temper and sharp tongue are part of the reason she lost her head, while the latter delivers some outright savage criticisms to the other queens before she sings her song. Catherine of Aragon and Anne of Cleeves are the In-Between, with Aragon firing right back at Anne Boleyn, but generally leaving the other queens be, while Anne of Cleeves merely watches the drama unfold, while bragging about how well her life went after divorcing Henry.

* ''ComicBook/TheMagicians2022'': The [[CruelElephant Big Magician]] is a {{Jerkass}} who forces a group of frogs into being pawns in his schemes, tricks the children of a village into giving him food in exchange for "toys" (actually the aforementioned frogs temporarily changed into toys), and is rather abrasive toward his fellow magicians. The [[ThievingMagpie Small Magician]] is an opportunistic thief and usually acts cowardly but is never actively malicious like the Big Magician. The Girl Magician is a CaringGardener who is only ever mean to a cranky old man who was already being really rude to her, tries her best to make sure the other two know how to exploit the Outside and practice their magic, is the only one of the trio willing to take in a DoorstopBaby, and [[spoiler:posthumously buries the hatchet with Aisha by restoring her youth and mind in exchange for carrying on the legacy of magic.]]

* In ''Literature/WiseChild'', Juniper, Euny, and Wise Child form this trio as female ''dorans''. Juniper is nice (a compassionate and selfless healer, as well as Wise Child's maternal figure), Euny is mean (a tough and ill-tempered elderly woman with little patience), and Wise Child is in-between (bratty and hotheaded at times, but a kind girl at heart).

* ''WebAnimation/AnnoyingOrange'': The main trio of Orange, Pear, and Little Apple. Little Apple (Nice) is usually a daredevil and friendly in spite of his [[HairTriggerTemper short temper]] (no pun intended) towards being called a midget. [[VillainProtagonist Orange]] (Mean) is a sadistic {{Jerkass}} who loves to annoy other foods and even his friends for no other reason than to get a little joke out of it. Pear (In-Between) is still quite nice like Little Apple and isn't an asshole like Orange, but he's usually the OnlySaneMan who constantly has to deal with Orange's antics and all the chaos going on in the kitchen, not to mention his DeadpanSnarker behavior towards him.

* ''Webcomic/DarkMoonTheBloodAltar'': Amongst the seven vampire brothers, Heli, Jino and Noa are the nice, being the more warm-hearted and openly friendly ones in the group, although Noa is [[ShrinkingViolet shy at first]] and [[TheStoic not very emotionally expressive]], Jaan and Solon are the mean, as while they aren't actually malicious, they are the brothers who are prone to being [[HairTriggerTemper easily-angered]] and are colder and more distant than everyone (Solon in particular outright detests the thought of newcomers in their group) but deep down are [[HiddenHeartOfGold still very caring]], [[BigBrotherInstinct especially of their brothers]]. Shion and Jakah are the in-between as the former is a friendly, sociable and welcoming guy yet at the same time is also [[BrutalHonesty very blunt]] to the point of being InnocentlyInsensitive and the latter may not be as cold or distant as Jaan and Solon are and is generally polite and well-mannered to others but like Solon he's also hesitant to forge friendships with others, suspicious of Sooha and is just as (if not more so) [[PragmaticHero pragmatic]].
