These examples are from the old trope, but I cannot tell if they fit the new supertrope. Someone please take a look:
Video Games
- Arc Rise Fantasia
Hero: L'ArcChildhood Friend: AdeleGirl From Nowhere: Ryfia
- Though they aren't the first two party members, Jade Empire with a male player
Hero: the playerChildhood Friend: Dawn StarGirl from Nowhere: Silk Fox
- Grandia takes a while to bring in the third character, but we eventually end up with
Hero: JustinChildhood Friend: SueGirl From Nowhere: Feena
- Grandia III has an interesting variation:
Hero: YukiHot Shounen Mom: MirandaGirl From Nowhere: Alfina - Baldurs Gate has the first NPC that can possibly join you being your "little sister" Imoen, while the first people you encounter are a pair of Ax-Crazy murderers, most people's first recruits will be Khalid and Jaheira, the later who qualifies as a "New Girl", at least in the second game.
- Done 'properly', Chrono Cross pulls this off too.
Hero: SergeChildhood Friend: Leena (Well, sort of)Girl From Nowhere: Kidd
- Golden Sun: The Lost Age
Hero: FelixChildhood Friend: JennaGirl From Nowhere: Sheba
- The first Golden Sun also fits this.
Hero: IsaacChildhood Friend: GaretGuy From Nowhere: Ivan
- Or:

- The first Golden Sun also fits this.

Hero: Alucard.Childhood Friend: Integra Hellsing. While Action Girl on her own right, she's the one who Alucard protects and actually sets his journey going.Girl From Nowhere: Seras Victoria, back then only known as 'Police Girl'. She becomes the Sidekick.
