* Angua in the [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Ankh-Morpork City Watch]]. This is played with because only one of her minority statuses is evident. For example, she says "Is this because I'm a w--" and gets cut off before you know she's actually trying to say "[[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolf]]," not "woman." In fact ''all'' the known female watch officers seem to be twofers: Angua is a werewolf, Cheri Littlebottom and Lars Skulldrinker are dwarfs (although Lars isn't openly female), Sally von Humpeding is a vampire, and Precious Jolson is Black. There is also an unnamed gorgon mentioned in ''Literature/UnseenAcademicals''.

* ''Videogame/TheLastOfUs''
** Ellie is female, gay, and an atheist. Bill is also gay, and the only characters who are openly religious are Henry and David. But Ellie and Sam are the only characters to outright state disbelief in religion (though Ellie might actually be agnostic since she says "I go back and forth", but ultimately settles on "no"). The end of ''Videogame/TheLastOfUsPartII'' adds another notch when [[spoiler:her left ring finger and pinky are bitten off by Abby]].

** Not the first time a Nerd Corps show used this trope as, before Augura, there was Piper of the WesternAnimation/StormHawks -- who is also AmbiguouslyGay. (In both cases, one can argue for another character sharing one of their minority traits: the Storm Hawks also have the dark-skinned rhino-like Junko, while the Battle Force 5 get their intel from a female sentient, and another of the 5 guys is from Thailand.)
