* ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'': Inga Bergstorm is an Danish teacher that has a fling with James Bond and spends her entire appearance [[ModestyBedsheet wrapped in a bedsheet]].

Scandinavians have long been stereotyped as being a strikingly beautiful group of people, particularly the women. In many works, Scandinavian female characters are portrayed as naive, beautiful, and all-around hot. Usually the hero [[ImAManICantHelpIt can't help becoming smitten]] when he meets one. Usually doesn't turn into a relationship since she's 'too' hot to be more than a MsFanservice type, though, but sometimes she does. She typically has the standard Scandinavian traits: tall, blue eyes, blonde hair, thick accent, and the demeanor of an InnocentFanserviceGirl, but sometimes she can be a FemmeFatale.

* ''Manga/ShokugekiNoSoma'': Alice Nakiri is [[ButNotTooForeign a half-Danish]] albino girl with a knockout figure that she proudly shows off while wearing a bikini at a public pool. She gets it from her mom, Leonora, who is pretty much an older version of her.

* German-born actress Elke Sommer often played this trope in her films.

* In ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' local [[{{Mafia}} mafia]] boss Gentleman Johnny Marcone hires Sigrun Gard as his supernatural consultant. She's a [[StatuesqueStunner statuesque Scandinavian blonde]], described by Dresden as 'a Nordic Angel' and not afraid to use her looks. She's also a bonafide [[Myth/NorseMythology valkyrie]] and ActionGirl.

* "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS15E1TreehouseOfHorrorXIV Treehouse of Horror XIV]]" of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Parodied in the "Frinkenstein" segment. The traffic warden in Stockholm is an attractive woman, slim and blonde, and completely naked. She has just a whistle and a police officer's cap. It's used as a gag to set up the scene for the Nobel Prize ceremony in Sweden.

* WesternAnimation/BugsBunny lampoons this trope in "What's Opera, Doc?" (and earlier, somewhat creepily, in "Herr Meets Hare").
* Similar to the DC comics, the sweet but naive Ice of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' was the cute one, dressed sexily and had a few guys into her.

* Male example: All the Nordic countries from ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia''.

* Ice, originally of the [[Creator/DCComics Global Guardians]], has the Icelandic-sounding civilian name "Tora Olafsdotter" but is actually Norwegian. Always TheCutie, she was also Guy Gardner's girlfriend.
** Her predecessor and fellow Norwegian Sigrid Nansen aka [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/b/b3/Icemaiden_003.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120413214735 Ice Maiden]] [[http://static5.comicvine.com/uploads/original/13/134753/4311171-icemaiden_001.jpg also]] [[http://static2.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/8842/445647-supermaid.jpg qualifies.]]

* Discussed in ''ComicBook/SupermanBatman'' #8 when ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} first landed on Earth and meeting some dock workers who believe her to be Swedish because of her blonde hair, blue eyes and her strange language, though she is actually speaking Kryptonian.
* Franchise/WonderWoman

* One episode of ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'' had Rose's cousin Sven come to visit and fall for Blanche. He wanted to call off his upcoming arranged marriage, but when the girl who was to be his bride showed up, she was a hot blonde like this. Sven is awed and runs off with her right away.

* Odin's messengers, the Valkyries, are known for their beauty as well as selecting the bravest of the slain warriors to be admitted into WarriorHeaven. Of course, in more authentic myths, Valkyries were anything but beautiful, what with their riding wolves and specifically engineering circumstances that would lead to the deaths of great warriors in order to people Odin's corpse hall. Nonetheless, some Valkyries were still sufficiently hot enough that Scandinavian saga heroes -- such as Helgi Hundingsbane -- took them as wives.

* Both Lagertha and Aslaug are portrayed this way in ''Series/{{Vikings}}'', Aslaug especially so, as she is supposedly the literal daughter of the legendary Sigurd and Brynhildr, and a princess (though against stereotype she has long wavy auburn hair). Lagertha is a drop-dead gorgeous blonde who is a shield-maiden and fights alongside the men, eventually becoming a leader of her own tribe. The hero is married to one, once married to the other, and smitten with both.
** Also Thorunn, Bjorn's wife, who appears in later seasons, has a straight up nordic supermodel looks.

* ''VideoGame/GuildWars'' has [[GentleGiant Jora]], who belongs to a race inspired by Scandinavian peoples known as [[MeaningfulName Norns]], with herself fitting the trope, being [[StatuesqueStunner tall]], [[MsFanservice beautiful]] and [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold blonde]].

* In ''Film/{{Cashback}}'' Ben reminisces about when he was a little kid and his family took in a spectacularly gorgeous Swedish woman with no nudity taboo as a boarder.

* Anthea Kallenberg from Anime/UnderTheDog

* ''Manga/ShokugekiNoSoma'': Alice Nakiri is [[ButNotTooForeign a half-Danish]] albino girl with a knockout figure that she proudly shows off while wearing a bikini at a public pool. She gets if from her mom Leonora, who is pretty much an older version of her.

* Horn Skuld of ''Manga/{{Seraph of the End}}'' is implied to be Scandivanian. She's a female vampire in her twenties with big boobs. Her last name "Skuld" means "dept" or "future" in Old Norse. She was one of the three Norns, or goddesses of destiny, in Norse-Germanic mythology. Skuld was also the Name of a Valkyrie.

* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'': Rias Gremory is said to be Scandinavian, though she’s actually a Devil from the Underworld. Of course, she's one of the most attractive girls in the series. Red-haired example. Later on, the story introduces the [[{{Valkyries}} Valkyrie]] Rosswiese, who fits this trope better.
* Stella Bremer from LightNovel/MuvLuvAlternativeTotalEclipse is a very traditional example, having the largest bust of all female cast.
* Julie Sigtuna from Anime/AbsoluteDuo is a very unusual example: she belongs to a {{fictional country}} named after a legendary location in Scandinavian mythology and she has the habit of speaking Scandinavian words such as "ja" and "nej" (yes and no, respectively). She's attractive enough, but more in the [[TokenMiniMoe Moe]] sense.
* Christine Waldegård from [[Anime/{{Shirobako}} "The Third Girls Aerial Squad."]]

* Male example: All the Nordic countries from Anime/AxisPowersHetalia.

* Sister Sweden of ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld'' is based on Danish stereotypes of Swedish women, and thus is this trope taken UpToEleven: She's a busty, beautiful, blond and blue-eyed MsFanservice, an EthicalSlut who'll do AnythingThatMoves.
** To hammer the point home, a bonus drawing by Humon reveals that her ''natural'' breasts are actually larger than Sister America's ''implants''.

* In ''Webcomic/SparklingGenerationValkyrieYuuki'', a boy who is fascinated with magical girl anime gets turned into a buxom blond valkyrie.
* ''WebComic/StandStillStaySilent'': Finnish WrenchWench Tuuri squees at the thought of meeting a Swede, since all Swedes are pretty and tall. The Swedish team member, Emil, is very pretty (complete with BishieSparkle and gorgeous hair), but Tuuri is very disappointed that he isn't much taller than her.

* While Velvet from ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'' is a reindeer, but she has enough elegance and [[{{Narcissist}} a high opinion of herself]] to qualify for this trope. She also speaks with a Scandinavian accent to add to her beauty.
