* Ashley A. from ''{{Recess}}'' usually has pink in all of her outfits
* Inverted and played straight with Charlotte in ''MakingFiends''. She's a stereotypical, over-the-top caricature of everything [[MoeMoe adorable]] and annoying about the archetypal American little girl, but has baby blue as her [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation color]] and motif. Still, she seems to love pink as much as expected, as almost all of her possessions are pink.

* [[SuperMarioBros Princess Peach]] is probably the TropeCodifier for this in games, but only in games after the first (or the second in Japan). In those, she wore [[WomanInWhite white]], though this has been {{retcon}}ned to pink in remakes. Princess [[SuperMarioLand Daisy]], whom {{fanon}} considers more {{tomboy}}ish, wears yellow, while the ReallySevenHundredYearsOld [[SuperMarioGalaxy Rosalina]] wears blue.

* Amy, the first playable female in the ''SonicTheHedgehog'' series, doesn't wear pink. She ''is'' pink.

* Hello? Princess Peach and Pauline? 30 years and running.

* Robert Mandell's best-known creations ''AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' and ''PrincessGwenevereAndTheJewelRiders'' were distinct contrasts on this trope. In the first, Niko was only shoved into a pink dress ''once'' (while she and Doc were heading to a BadGuyBar), protesting all the while. The latter cartoon was designed for a girl's toy line by Hasbro, and virtually ''everything'' was pastel, with the lead character rarely seen in any other color than pink.

* Amy from ''{{Futurama}}'' wears a pink, midriff-baring sweatsuit a lot. However, "Into the Wild Green Yonder" reveals that it's actually a boy's sweatsuit.
