History Main / BrattyHalfpint

* UsefulNotes/{{The Modern Age|of Comic Books}} ComicBook/{{Superboy}} (Kon-El) often played this role early on.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
%%* Skuld of ''Manga/AhMyGoddess''.%% ZCE
%%* Renge from ''Manga/AirMaster''.%% ZCE
* Chiyu Tamade from ''Anime/BangDream''. One of the youngest girls in the cast at 14 years old, she's the closest thing the series has to an antagonist. Despite being intelligent and a skilled producer for Raise A Suilen, she's incredibly controlling and abrasive. From vowing to crush Poppin' Party and Roselia after perceived slights by Tae and Yukina respectively to demanding loyalty from her bandmates to the exclusion of all their other obligations, she certainly fits the bill.
* Isidro from ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''. Rude, ill-mannered, he is a master at the art of provoking and pissing people off.
* Alois Trancy of ''Anime/BlackButler'' is a [[LaughingMad very]], [[DepravedHomosexual very]] [[AxCrazy da]][[{{Yandere}} rk]] variation of this. Most definitely a [[KnightOfCerebus subversion]] of the usual kid-appeal qualities of this character.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Shinigami tend to be ReallySevenHundredYearsOld. However, the child characters are biologically children nevertheless.
** Hiyori is perpetually angry, violent and aggressive. She takes out her moods on Shinji mostly, but picks fights with everyone.
** ''Turn Back the Pendulum'' [[PlayedForLaughs reveals]] that ''[[TheStoic Byakuya]]'' was an obnoxious, hot-tempered brat when young. The manga has always hinted that BeneathTheMask Byakuya may be NotSoStoic. It turns out that he's become extremely good at hiding his HairTriggerTemper.
* ''Manga/BrokenBlade'': Not necesssarily a kid, but Girge deliberately admits this.
-->'''Rygart:''' You're basically just a bratty-kid!\\
'''Girge:''' That, I already knew.
* Meilin from ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''. When she isn't [[ClingyJealousGirl fawning over Syaoran]], she's constantly bragging about her abilities, real or imagined, and early on, whining whenever Sakura gets a card over Syaoran and just being a general nuisance. However, she is also very determined, caring, and always ready to take action, traits which [[CharacterDevelopment become more prominent]] late into her appearance in the series.
* Fuuko from ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}''. Despite being a teenager, she's the shortest of the main girls and is often rather prickly and temperamental towards other people, Tomoya in particular.
* Matt from ''Manga/ACruelGodReigns'', although one could argue that he has some valid reasons.
* In the fourth ''Anime/DirtyPair'' OVA a group of pre-teen boys who are the sons of wealthy aristocrats take over a military base, believing it to be a fun game. They also disrespect any authority figure who tries to talk sense into them, including Yuri and Kei, whom they call "old women" even though as Kei points out at 19 they're only a little bit older than the boys are.
* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
** Kid Trunks. What distinguishes him from Future Trunks, thanks to growing up in a time of peace (and having his father around).
** Goten can be like this at times too, especially when he's around his big brother. Or when Trunks ropes him into misbehaving with him.
** [[FusionDance Gotenks]] combines the cockiness of Kid Trunks with the naivete of Goten. He refuses to take his opponents seriously and is more concerned with looking cool than with actually winning the battle.
** Pan the TokenMiniMoe in ''Anime/DragonBallGT''.
* Mischa from ''Anime/{{Endride}}'' is a [[DefusingTheTykebomb barely diffused tykebomb]], who is tiny, arrogant, and only wants to listen or speak with Demetrio. She often gets into petty one-up-man-ship with Felix, who is her rival in [[TheQuietOne reticence]] and UndyingLoyalty to Demetrio.
* Mashiro from the {{yonkoma}} (and its anime adaptation) ''Manga/EngagedToTheUnidentified''. Self-important, and always trying to find a way to either take advantage of, or inconvenience her prospective sister-in-law Kobeni. Thankfully her bratty instances are curbed either by her own childish tendencies, or by Kobeni's older sister Benio, whose attentions Mashiro is ''terrified'' of.
* Mai and Mami from ''Anime/ExplorerWomanRay'', a couple of treasure-seeking teenage girls who steal an artifact from the title character left back in Japan, in the hope of meeting her and returning it.
* Bat in ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''.
* Hiro from ''Manga/FruitsBasket'', differing from the archetype in that he's ''especially'' bratty towards the heroine. In the manga, at least, he grows up a lot, though he never does come to like Tohru.
* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': Ed is easily the living embodiment of this trope in the male perspective. But don't let him catch you calling him "half pint" or you will get ''plenty'' of bratty.
* Taka from ''Manga/GakuenBabysitters''. Compared to the other toddlers, he's a [[NoIndoorVoice loudmouthed]] little troublemaker with a rather big ego.
* UsefulNotes/DateMasamune from ''Manga/Gate7'' is a precocious and mouthy BrattyHalfPint, luckly (or unluckly) for him and everybody else, Kujuurou is always close to him to [[DopeSlap scold him.]] Subverted, since he's the One-eyed dragon's {{Reincarnation}}, he's everything but a DistressedDude.
** The GenderFlipped rendition in ''Literature/TheAmbitionOfOdaNobuna'' isn't any better in this environment, except in this case she was more a LargeHam.
* ''Manga/GirlsBravo'': Tomoka. She is portrayed as super-irritating. In fact the only justification for her terribly annoying attitude and disposition is that she is a little girl.
* The main character of ''Manga/HakkendenEightDogsOfTheEast'', Inuzuka Shino, is this. Of course, he's OlderThanHeLooks due to possessing [[LivingWeapon Murasame]] as the price for being his vessel and wielding his power is to have one's time frozen. As in, he's actually '''18''' instead of ''13''. Him being a brat is semi-justified by WhoWantsToLiveForever and the issues that come from always being seen by others as a kid. And, unlike most Bratty Half Pints, he is actually probably one of the ''strongest'' characters.
* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers:''
** South Italy, also known as Italy Romano, was spoiled, lazy and entitled as a child, with a habit of insulting his caretaker [[NiceGuy Spain]] and rejecting all of the kind acts he attempted to do for him... and then grew into a very ''fierce'' mix of ''all'' {{Tsundere}} Type A varieties.
** Sealand transforms from a somewhat delusional and determined CheerfulChild into this when he's around his older brother England, whom he refers to as "jerk England," and goes out of his way to tell him that one day he's going to be a bigger empire than England ever was.
** More recently, [[FieryRedhead Ladonia]] is shaping up to be a prime example, mixed with him being a SpoiledBrat prone to throwing tantrums when things don't go his way. He ''demands'' to be made leader of the micronations in his introduction, no dissent tolerated.
** Czech Republic was this as a child; she was AlwaysSomeoneBetter to the young Slovakia, and enjoyed rubbing it into his face and teasing him.
** Prussia as a child (UsefulNotes/TheTeutonicKnights) was this as WordOfGod notes, being spoiled by the Pope and allowed to do whatever he wanted, as well as being a loud and tactless pint-sized BloodKnight.
* Shippo in ''Manga/InuYasha'' zigzags between this and MouthyKid. In his defense, there are times when he tries to help (even though he is too young) and his teasing of Inuyasha is often due to him upsetting Kagome (who Shippo sees as an adoptive mother).
* Marion from ''Anime/KaleidoStar'', in her first episode.
* Kurumi, Yusaku and Hikaru from ''Manga/KimagureOrangeRoad''.
* Rune from ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion''.
* The CanonForeigner Sanae Dekomori from ''Literature/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'', who irritates her upperclassmen Yuuta and Shinka to no end.
* Sara from ''Manga/LoveHina''. Particularly early on, when she deliberately sets out to get Keitaro fired from his job assisting Seta. Even afterwards, she'll pull pranks for sheer amusement.
* Yuri, Sayaka's [[DelicateAndSickly disabled]] cousin, from ''Anime/MazingerZ''.
* Yuuri of ''Anime/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'' is a brat who continually insists that she isn't a child and stomps off to go do her own thing, always failing miserably. After she leaves the cast (for the most part), Seira is introduced on the good side; she does mature, and was only selfish because she had yet to gather the facets of love (which was the original intent of the quest for her to be born; having her heart stolen complicated things).
* The three girls from ''Manga/MitsuboshiColors'' might be this at different levels, but Sat-chan is the absolute queen of troublemaking in her class.
* ''Manga/{{Mitsudomoe}}'': Mitsuba is an obnoxious, spiteful, petulant, histrionic brat with an inflated ego who constantly berates everybody around her and demands they call her Mitsuba-sama and agree to become her slaves the moment she has any leverage on them. She's also the show's resident Butt-Monkey, and on the rare occasions she ''does'' show concern for her sisters or anybody else it usually goes poorly. As in, "head slammed into the floor so hard blood bursts out of her face" poorly.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** Naruto Uzumaki -- [[PlayingWithATrope played with]] and [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]], if due to his main character status.
*** Naruto's prototype was even brattier and far more of a JerkAss. In order to take revenge on a boy who spread rumors about him, he trapped him in a hole, pretended to offer him a lift out, then [[UrineTrouble urinated on him]], leaving a stench that lasts 10 days.
** Konohamaru, the Third Hokage's grandson, is a more straightforward example. Although later on, we see him [[spoiler:[[TookALevelInBadass Take A Level In Badass]] and give a Pain body a Rasengan]].
* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'':
** Anya in occasionally falls into this, with many hints at [[{{Tsundere}} simply behaving that way with a hidden sentimentality]] (likely since she appears to have a crush on TheHero).
** [[TheRival Kotaro]] also counts, although he's capable of maturity when the situation calls for it.
* Pop Harukaze from ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi''. She retains some of this after her CharacterDevelopment, but she's much less bratty and more taking occasional potshots now and then.
%%* Maho from ''Anime/PleaseTeacher''.
%%* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''
%%** Dawn's [[CreatorsPet Piplup]].
%%** [[TagalongKid Max]] occasionally fell into this as well during ''Advanced Generation''.
%%** Iris hits nearly every aspect of this trope. She's usually [[ActionGirl able to get out of a pinch on her own though]].
%%** Emerald from ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' also counts.
* A running motif in ''Anime/OnePiece'' is how most characters embodied this trope as children but mellow out and mature with age. Even Luffy was much less cheerful and friendly when he was a kid, almost unrecognizable from his older self -- which is extra surprising, because if you just met [[ManChild Luffy]], you wouldn't believe he could be ''less'' mature.
* Mannen in ''Anime/{{Pretear}}'', the self-proclaimed leader of the younger half of the Leafe Knights. He tends to get the group in trouble by demanding to be treated as equals with the older knights, but he seems to genuinely mean well.
%%* Tomoka, Horio, and to some extent Ryoma in ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis''.
%%** Also, Akaya of Rikkai.
%%* Anita King of ''Anime/RODTheTV'', at least partially (especially prominent in the anime's early episodes).
* Yahiko from ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' is an interesting case. He's obviously the Bratty Half Pint, and is not only fully aware of it, but ''doesn't want to be.'' His character arc is his journey from Bratty Half Pint to full-fledged Shonen hero.
* Chibiusa of ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', at her worst. More in the anime, but the manga version wasn't above everything.
* In ''AudioPlay/SaintBeast'', Maya is the youngest and most immature character on the show. He tends to throw tantrums when things don't go his way, and is often a DistressedDude.
* Komachi from ''Anime/SamuraiSeven''; she ''does'' get along with most of the others, but dislikes Kyuzo. But then, no one gets along with him. It is notable that Komachi almost literally hangs off Kikuchiyo.
* ''Manga/SgtFrog'': Karara, Chiroro, Tororo, Taruru (to some extent) and Sumomo (in the manga).
** Through flashbacks and Kululu's age manipulation beam gun, we learn that Fuyuki [[OlderAndWiser used to be]] the brattiest of them all.
* Uesegi Hiou from ''Manga/SkipBeat'' threatened Moko with his family and to ditch an appearance and blame Moko. Then he [[CharacterDevelopment acknowledges his feelings and starts to behave.]]
* Miu from ''Manga/StrawberryMarshmallow''. Rare is the episode where she doesn't earn Nobue's wrath, usually in the form of being knocked face-first into the floor.
* Uriah from the second season of ''Anime/{{Superbook}}'' was this way to Chris at first.
* In the first OVA series, Sasami of ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' was this, her first appearance being spent playing a prank on Tenchi and insulting Ryoko. This held over into the first ''Anime/PrettySammy'' OVA, but once the second ''Tenchi Muyo!'' OVA series came out, she came out of this and became the more mature of the girls. The whole Tsunami thing probably helped with that.
* Taruto of ''Anime/TokyoMewMew''. He ends up in a DatingCatwoman relationship with the TokenMiniMoe.
* In ''Anime/UmiMonogatari'', Urin is childish and petulant at times, moreso to people on land than her mermaid sister Marin.
* Ten from ''Anime/UruseiYatsura''. One translation of his full name, Jariten, literally ''means'' "Bratty Ten". His insistence on "Ten" is for much the same reason Sakuramboo usually calls himself "Cherry"[[note]]Sakuramboo can mean "Cherry" (as in the fruit -- Sakura refers to CherryBlossoms), but also "Deranged Priest"[[/note]]. Ten is an annoying little JerkAss who is quick to insult, tease and torment others, especially if he feels he is being ignored... at least, if they're ''male''; being a KidAnova, he is almost always playing up his cuteness and innocence when interacting with girls. Unlike [[HandsomeLech Shutaro Mendo]], however, [[WouldHitAGirl he is perfectly willing to attack women if he gets angry enough]]. What makes him more dangerous than the average BrattyHalfPint is that he ''[[BreathWeapon breathes fire]]'', and is perfectly willing to exploit this ability on anyone who gets him mad. The only person who cn reign him in and make him behave is his mother, and that's one half fear of disappointing her, and one half ''utter terror'' of the punishment she may inflict if she discovers he abuses his firebreath, as [[BerserkButton people deliberately setting fires drives her mad with rage]].
* Johji of ''Manga/YuGiOh'' -- he is bratty and, of Yugi's party, the only one whom he gets along with is Tea... because he is a perverted baby who lusts after women.
* The Nishigori triplets from ''Anime/YuriOnIce'', though most of their bratty behaviour is aimed at their mother Yuko. They use their parents' social media accounts without permission (like how they used Yuko's account to upload the viral video of Yuri reenacting Victor Nikiforov's program, which she scolds them for afterwards), and they often stay up past their bedtime to watch figure skating competitions and post on social media, much to Yuko's frustration.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Stanley, Yummy Mummy's son from ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'', is a whiny little jerk who's constantly bothering people for fun.
* Cubbi Gummi from ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'' is a mild example. To Sunni most of the time.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}''
** [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling D.W.]] is a classic example of this trope, being whiny and self-centered most of the time.
** Her classmates, [[TricksterTwins Timmy and Tommy Tibble]], make her look like an angel in comparison.
* The titular character of ''WesternAnimation/AngryKid'' certainly qualifies.
* Daffy and Taz from ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes''.
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'': Ben fits this bill. If only there wasn't this damn AesopAmnesia! His cousin Gwen was like this before ''Alien Force'', where she got a lot less irritating.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'':
** Bluey and Bingo's young cousin, Muffin, acts like this from time to time. For example, in the episode "Charades," while playing the titular game, Muffin throws a tantrum and refuses to play by the rules unless she gets to be a ballerina.
** It's taken to the extreme in the episode "Faceytalk," where Muffin and Socks have a video chat with Bluey and Bingo, but Muffin refuses to let Socks have a turn with the drawing function on their tablet, even when Stripe tells her to get off. Then, after Stripe puts her in time out, Muffin steals her dad's phone, causing Stripe, and pretty soon Trixie, to chase her all around the house until Muffin accidentally drops the phone into the pool and is put in another time out.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' episode "Guess Hoe's Coming to Dinner" starts off with Robert at the grocery store and he sees an extremely bratty kid named Herbert breaking everything and yelling that he wants "candy marshmallows," while his poor mother is in tears, saying that she doesn't know how to get him to stop. Robert then suggests that she tries "beatin' his ass," and hands the mother his belt and shows her how to use it like a whip, which causes her to lunge at Herbert and whip him senseless.
%%* ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'': Though a robot instead of an actual child, XR gets into this territory.
* Gorgonzola from ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}''. Gorgonzola has a FreudianExcuse. Namely, he's stuck learning a job he hates (carrying a candle on his head and not allowing it to go out), while his peers all seem happy with the paths their lives have set before them. Not really a surprise, then, that he's so intent on making their lives as hard as possible. He's not so much 'bratty' as he is just a {{jerkass}}.
* WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts: [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} Figaro]]; the orphan mice; Huey, Dewey, and Louie; Goofy Jr. from "Fathers Are People" (41-year-early prototype of [[WesternAnimation/GoofTroop Max Goof]]), and Junior from "Bellboy Donald" (prototype of [[WesternAnimation/GoofTroop PJ]]) are ill-mannered children.
* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' contained two examples; Numbuh Two's little brother, Tommy, and Numbuh Three's little sister, Mushi, but it's not until the episode "Operation: C.L.U.E." that Mushi totally becomes a full-on emphasis of being an unpleasant brat when she was [[spoiler: revealed as the culprit who stabbed Numbuh Three's rainbow monkey in the back.]]
** Pretty much the entire KND ensemble is this to some degree, especially in early episodes, where the team were more a defiant bunch of rebels to adults than outright heroic.
* José from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cybersix}}'', one of the major villains.
* Amberley from ''WesternAnimation/TheDreamstone'' is a light example. By default she is a CheerfulChild and rather well adjusted, she often becomes rather [[PluckyGirl rambunctious and temperamental in the face of enemies]] however, something that sometimes gets her into trouble.
* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'':
** Sarah, whose catchphrase is "I'm telling Mom!" regardless of the deed. Deconstructed in that she's not merely bratty, but downright [[KidsAreCruel cruel]] and at times, even violent.
** Eddy also counts too, with him being one of the shortest guys in the show and how he can be a SpoiledBrat.
** Despite being a NiceGuy, Jimmy can veer into this at times, particularly when he teams up with Sarah to antagonize the Eds.
* Stewie Griffin from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' {{exaggerate|dtrope}}s in the earlier seasons. However, this trope is very balanced for him in the later seasons.
* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'': Bloo. The problem with him is, that he's swinging around between this trope and the {{Jerkass}} trope. He's whiny, selfish, and complains when he doesn't get what he wants.
* Pistol on ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' is demanding and {{annoying|YoungerSibling}}, as well as seeming to enjoy getting her brother, PJ, in trouble with their parents, one of whom ''[[AbusiveParents abuses]]'' him (though to her credit she usually will try to tell the one who doesn't). She badgers people so they give her stuff and let her play with them, and becomes very upset when she doesn't get her way, while she thinks the rules don't apply to her. It's to the point where PJ (who is frequently forced into intense servitude) considers playing with Pistol to be the worst chore of all.
* Mandy from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', not unlike [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Gaz]] (see the picture above), combines this trope with CreepyChild and DisproportionateRetribution.
* Baby Shelby from ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' tries to get his watchers in trouble with his mom and has an AnnoyingLaugh to top it off.
* Gaz Membrane from ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' sadly becomes this trope in the [[ComicBook/InvaderZimOni comics]] and [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZimEnterTheFlorpus Enter the Florpus]], abandoning her usual CreepyChild and exaggerating her DisproportionateRetribution character trope.
** [[GirlScoutsAreEvil Moofy]], don't even try saying 'no' to her cookies or even try rescuing her from getting stuck in Zim's lawn when getting attention from the media.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': Cramoisie. She is [[VagueAge "under 6 years old"]] and a {{jerkass}} who spends all her time insulting other people or pushing around her sister, Violasse. Her horrible behavior is generally met with zero consequences, as Kaeloo forgives her due to her young age, [[CatsAreMean Mr. Cat]] is also a terrible person so he outright encourages her, and Stumpy thinks she just [[BrutalHonesty has no filter]].
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''. Cousin Shawn, later Artie Smarty.
* In ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness'', Po, Tigress, and Mantis have to escort a [[RoyalBrat bratty little princess]] to a rendezvous. She acts very bratty along the way, and when they get robbed, she blames it all on the servants, Tigress, and Mantis. Po gets ticked off when she insults his friends and gives her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, causing her to cry. He feels bad about it and talks with her calmly later on, and the princess subverts this trope.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', Korra's EstablishingCharacterMoment is when (at four-years-old) she demonstrates her ability to use three of the four elemental powers that she's not supposed to manifest until she's sixteen, busting through a wall in the process.
-->'''Korra:''' I'm the Avatar! You gotta deal with it!
%%* Wilbur, Honey's son in ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''.
* Brattus, the aptly-named younger cousin of ''WesternAnimation/MrBogus''.
%%* Piggy from ''WesternAnimation/{{Muppet Babies|1984}}'' qualifies as this.
* Bentley from ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'' has shades of this. He's a child genius but it doesn't stop him from being a bit of a pest at times.
* Enzo from ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' is one of the better depictions of this. Part of the reason is that while he frequently gets kidnapped and bites off more then he can chew, the awesomeness of TheHero Bob is seen through his eyes. And CharacterDevelopment has him rising up to the occasion to be a hero himself when [[WhamEpisode Bob is stranded in the web.]]
* Randall from ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}''. "Miss Finster! Miss Finster!"
* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'': Though a full-grown raccoon instead of an actual child, Rigby gets into this territory.
* The aptly named Precocia Holiday from ''WesternAnimation/TheRomanHolidays.'' Highly capable of being snarky when she wants to be.
* Angelica from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' is a three-year-old spoiled brat who will go to any lengths in order to get her way, or boss around the babies.
* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'':
** Scrappy-Doo. Although he never actually gets captured, the gang always has to grab him away before he is. (Although one has to wonder why they bother.)
** Flim-Flam from ''WesternAnimation/TheThirteenGhostsOfScoobyDoo''.
* Lisa Rental from ''WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity'' is a bratty little girl who gets vicious when she doesn't get her way.
* Imp from ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'' is another good example from {{Creator/Filmation}}. While his age is never established, Imp has all the earmarks of this characterization, right down to throwing childish tantrums when he doesn't get his way.
* Eric Needles from ''WesternAnimation/{{Sidekick}}''. He wines a lot after being abused by [[BigBad Professor Pamplemoose]] and acts as a jerk to the only people who were nice to him.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** Bart. If you get his name as an anagram for "brat", he's quite the example.
** Interestingly, during the ''[[Series/TheTraceyUllmanShow Tracey Ullman]]'' shorts, Lisa was pretty much a female Bart. When ''The Simpsons'' became a series, the writers felt having two Bart-like kids was redundant, so they made Lisa the smarter, more mature one. In early seasons she's still a co-conspirator (for instance, egging Bart on in his [[RunningGag prank calls to Moe]]) but she was {{Flanderised}} into more of a goody-two-shoes later on.
** "Hurricane Neddy" revealed that Ned used to be a very severe version of this, as his beatnik parents refusing to discipline him in any way led to him violently lashing out at other kids.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** Most of the boys in earlier seasons, with Cartman being most obvious.
** Then there is Ike, who runs away to Somalia because he was already bored with life. He's about 4 years old.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': Sandy's young nieces from "Sandy's Nutty Nieces" complain a lot and physically harm [=SpongeBob=] multiple times.
* The ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}} Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show]]'' episode "Uncle Mxyzptlk" had exposure to red kryptonite turn Superman into a little kid, who is nicknamed "Superbrat" by Firestorm because of his unruly antics, which include insulting Gleek by calling him a dopey monkey and wrecking the Hall of Justice's computer systems by mistaking them for playthings. Things get worse for the Super Friends when Mr. Mxyzptlk appears and exploits Superbrat's immaturity to create havoc by claiming to be his uncle and encouraging the de-aged Superman to cause destruction with his powers.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperHeroSquadShow'' saw the team have to deal with a bratty little girl who manages to get her hands on a [[MacGuffin fractal-empowered]] tiara. She ends up nearly ending the world in a ''literal'' SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum.
* ''WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons'': In "One Ham's Family", after the Big Bad Wolf from ''The Three Little Pigs'' failed to catch the pig who lived in the brick house, he comes back one Christmas, disguised as Santa Claus, trying to get his revenge. Unfortunately for him, the pig's mischievous son proceeds to drive the Wolf crazy.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'': Gizmo, in addition to his technical skill, has a very big mouth. Insults are practically all that comes out of his mouth.
* Various smaller engines of ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'' are usually cheeky and mischievous to the point where most of them learn a lesson not to run into this trope. Thomas, Percy, Bill, and Ben are common examples.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'', Bumblebee, while basically good at heart, is also snarky, mischievous (one time he ruined a stunt involving Prowl jumping over his vehicle mode friends in motorcycle form by jumping out and scaring him), brash, impulsive and [[BerserkButton does not like being called "short"]].
* In the Creator/VanBeurenStudios cartoon "Day at the Park", Farmer Al Falfa deals with two pesky kids, and [[MisplacedWildlife a local monkey living in the park]], bitter at him over their last fight, uses the situation to call the police on Al.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Velma}}'': Even before her mother disappeared, Velma was an absolute brat to everyone, drove her parents crazy, and was a possessive friend to Daphne. In fact, during Christmas, she whined about finding her gifts early and asked her mother to give her more, which is partially what led to Diya going missing.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheWackyAdventuresOfRonaldMcdonald'': The video "Visitors from Outer Space" features an alien child named Org who really likes to play pranks and annoy his parents.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheXs'': Truman X, perhaps the most badass and ''least'' annoying example on this page. He's meant to be a combination of Bart Simpson and Dexter from ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', and frankly, [[BadassAdorable that combination]] [[LargeHam works]] ''[[LargeHam wonders.]]'' But even he is ''nothing'' compared to the girl who bullies him in the episode "From Crusha with Love".
[[/folder]]

-->'''Dodo:''' Mr DD! You're in the way!
-->'''Lulu:''' Please move, DD.
* ''WebVideo/RatsSMP'': Izan Icraga, the son of the family residing in the Mansion, takes delight in causing mayhem and angering the household staff, throws green beans across the room at meals, and is an annoying force of nature to the rats as well in his relentless pursuits. The Butler suspects this is the reason he was left behind for the family holiday at the start of the series.

* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo''

* Shippo in ''Manga/InuYasha'' zigzags between this and MouthyKid. In his defense, there are times when he tries to help (even though he is too young) and his teasing of Inuyasha is often due to him upsetting Kagome (who Shippo sees as a adoptive mother).

* Dodo from ''WebVideo/{{Kittisaurus}} when he was a kitten. He would frequently smack the older cats in the face and became notorious for his many, ''many'' food thefts. In ''Kittisaurus Villains'', he's shown to have a bratty streak by being rude to both Momo and DD in comparison to the ''only slightly'' more mature Lulu. Case in point; after being stuck in a cupboard and coming out to see DD obstructing their way...

** Taffyta and the other Sugar Rush Racers also qualify, due to their bullying towards Vanellope. But this is actually because [[spoiler: [[FakeMemories they were reprogrammed by Turbo to act cruel towards Vanellope.]]]]

See also TagalongKid, AnnoyingYoungerSibling, AffectionHatingKid, SpoiledBrat, AnnoyinglyRepetitiveChild, KidAppealCharacter. Might grow into a BrattyTeenageDaughter or DumbassTeenageSon. When {{downplayed|trope}}, see MouthyKid.

* Theo from ''VideoGame/PokemonUranium''. It doesn't help that he's the only rival ever to get the starter with the type disadvantage.

* In ''Literature/TheWonderfulAdventuresOfNils'', the main character acts like one in the beginning, despite being 14-years-old.

* ''LetsPlay/RatsSMP'': Izan Icraga, the son of the family residing in the Mansion, takes delight in causing mayhem and angering the household staff, throws green beans across the room at meals, and is an annoying force of nature to the rats as well in his relentless pursuits. The Butler suspects this is the reason he was left behind for the family holiday at the start of the series.

* Stanley, Yummy Mummy's son from ''WesternAnimation/6teen'', is a whiny little jerk who's constantly bothering people for fun.

* Stanley, Yummy Mummy's son from ''WesternAnimation/SixTeen, is a whiny little jerk who's constantly bothering people for fun.

* Shannon, Toni's niece, from ''ComicStrip/{{Luann}}''. Bad-tempered (drawn with a perpetual scowl on her face), disrespectful, greedy, and completely self-centered. Toni has recently admitted to Luann that she enjoys pawning Shannon off on her simply to enjoy being away from the little brat. (Though given that Shannon [[WhenYouComingHomeDad technically still has a father]], she isn't really Toni's responsibility in the first place...)

** Sarah, whose CatchPhrase is "I'm telling Mom!" regardless of the deed. Deconstructed in that she's not merely bratty, but downright [[KidsAreCruel cruel]] and at times, even violent.

** Interestingly, during the ''[[Series/TheTraceyUllmanShow Tracey Ullman]]'' shorts, Lisa was pretty much a female Bart. When ''The Simpsons'' became a series, the writers felt having two Bart-like kids was redundant, so they made Lisa the smarter, more mature one.

!!Examples

[[folder:Comic Strips]]
* Calvin from ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes''. He's an AttentionWhore, and his massive ego is often the cause of many of his problems (when he doesn't cause mayhem for the sake of causing mayhem, anyway).
* Barry from ''ComicStrip/{{Curtis}}'' could be the TropeCodifier. When he's bored, he provokes Curtis, then runs sobbing to his mother that mean ol' Curtis is trying to hit him for no good reason at all. Then, for his sins, he is given ice cream and the opportunity to gloat over all the extra chores Curtis gets. This happens with such frequency that when Curtis assesses that the family could, in fact, be qualified as "poor", one wonders if the source of their economic troubles isn't all this damn ice cream Diane's buying for Barry.
* Shannon, Toni's niece, from ''ComicStrip/{{Luann}}''. Bad-tempered (drawn with a perpetual scowl on her face), disrespectful, greedy, and completely self-centered. Toni has recently admitted to Luann that she enjoys pawning Shannon off on her simply to enjoy being away from the little brat. (Though given that Shannon [[WhenYouComingHomeDad technically still has a father]], she isn't really Toni's responsibility in the first place...)

[[folder:Eastern European Animation]]
* Masha from ''Animation/MashaAndTheBear'' can be annoying at times and likes to talk a lot and easily becomes hyperactive.

* In ''Film/TheTenCommandments1956'', it is Rameses II's first-born son Prince Amun who clearly is not only rude and spoiled, he has the nerve to kick Moses' staff that he used to demonstrate God's power by turning into a cobra, thereby insulting both Moses and God. This is clearly so we don't mind too much what happens later to the princely brat when the Death Angel comes calling...
* Molly in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3''.

[[folder:Music]]
* In the song "Nuttin' for Christmas," the singer's character is a bratty half-pint singing about delighting in his wicked deeds. Creator/StanFreberg's cover of the song even ends with him gleefully letting a burglar into his family's house on Christmas evening for a cut of the fence.

[[folder:Roleplay]]
* Elicia from ''Roleplay/DawnOfANewAgeOldportBlues'' is a headstrong and prideful young girl who doesn't hesitate to let her opinion be known. Her aggravating attitude is due to being tumultuously raised in poverty.

[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* Makina in ''VisualNovel/TheFruitOfGrisaia'' is a weird, immature girl who tends to copy the people around her and mock Michiru as much as possible. There's more to her than that, but unfortunately by ''VisualNovel/TheEdenOfGrisaia'' flanderization has left her with little else.

[[folder:Webcomics]]
%%* ''Webcomic/ThirtyTwoKickUp'' Patricia-Marie is a main character version of this trope.
%%* ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'', Lucy's pet Yashy is a prime example of this trope.
* Poor Gabby from ''Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate'' has her throat torn out by the titular character for her fearless, whiny, and loud complaints about his behavior, which at the time consisted of drinking blood from a dog, and his wearing "lipstick" (actually blood). To his horror, she returns as a nigh immortal vampire with a severe case of sire attachment and no more maturity than she had in life.
* ''Webcomic/OffWhite'' has a BrattyHalfPint wolf pup that gives Jera a permanent scar and [[spoiler: [[SacrificialLamb dies with everyone he has known and loved.]]]]
* In ''Webcomic/{{Rascals}}'', while slightly obscure, Reiko's innocent child when Issy enters her demon mind as seen on this [[https://rascals.kemono.cafe/comic/rascals-pg-428/ page]].
%%* ''Webcomic/SquidRow'': [[http://squidrowcomics.com/?p=579 at facepainting]]
* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'':
** Forte Drums "thinks she can get away with anything just cause she's cute" and her classmate Swing Blitz shows similar mischievousness.
** Sally, especially when compared to Sylvia, can come off as this in some of her moments, especially during the fight when she says Tessa looks down upon them.
* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': Håkan, Sune and Anna Västerström have an on-panel record of patting the guest who HatesBeingTouched even after being told not to, calling another guest fat, taking advantage of a mage being in trance to cut his hair and dressing the family cat. As for their off-panel record, it's perfectly summed up by their babysitter quitting and calling them "those changelings" right after their introduction.
* ''Webcomic/WhiteDarkLife'': Damien and Priscilla are noted to be total pains in the neck at times, with Damien eating any food he can get his hands on and Priscilla always bringing the attention to herself. they are also [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]].

[[folder:Web Videos]]
* A video by Creator/BrianHoltzman under his Omeletto persona shows him calling out a little girl who loudly complains in a restaurant over wanting candy. The video can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5_E1p_jbIw here]]. She continues to cry and he continues to shut her up.
* ''LetsPlay/RatsSMP'': Izan Icraga, the son of the family residing in the Mansion, takes delight in causing mayhem and angering the household staff, throws green beans across the room at meals, and is an annoying force of nature to the rats as well in his relentless pursuits. The Butler suspects this is the reason he was left behind for the family holiday at the start of the series.

Sometimes a younger sibling, other times an older one. Talks a good game but [[TheLoad often falls into trouble]] and needs to be rescued when that isn't [[DamselInDistress the job]] of the hero's love interest. [[BerserkButton Hates]] being called a kid but lacks real maturity. Often a boy, but female examples aren't uncommon. Such a character seldom gets along with anyone, except TheHero. The getting along part always happens after TheHero [[DefeatMeansFriendship knocks them down a few pegs]].
