* Jasmine from ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' is a supporting character, while the story naturally about the titular Aladdin. That didn't prevent her from being included in the Franchise/DisneyPrincess franchise, where she is the only princess in the lineup who isn't the main character from their debut film.

* Deedlit of ''Roleplay/RecordOfLodossWar'', the work's (early) token female, got her own spinoff manga ''Deedlit's Tale'' as well as starring in the 2021 {{Metroidvania}} ''Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth''.

*** Ultimately subverted with C. Viper of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' fame. It would seem Capcom believed she would become an EnsembleDarkhorse and thus included her in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3''[[note]]Though it is possible that her inclusion was only to [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute replace]] out-of-fashioned VideoGame/CaptainCommando with a more recent character [[WolverinePublicity promoting a current game]].[[/note]], only to abruptly bail on her when she turned out to not be as popular as they had hoped, to the point that she hasn't made a single playable appearance since. The game's second female newcomer, [[DarkActionGirl Juri Han]] from ''Super Street Fighter IV'', would end up being the one who actually played this straight, proving to be ''[=SFIV=]''[='=]s most popular newcomer altogether and making playable appearances in both crossover spin-off ''Street Fighter X Tekken'' and following mainline entries ''V'' and ''6''.

*** Chun-Li is often called "The First Lady of Fighting Games" and for very good reason. She is generally treated as ''the'' representative of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' [[note]]while making Ryu the representative of [[VideoGame/StreetFighterI the original game]][[/note]], she is one of the only returning characters in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' (and the only returning character in ''[[UpdatedRerelease 3rd Strike]]''), is the only character aside from Ryu to have appeared in every VideoGame/CapcomVs game, and even got [[Film/StreetFighterTheLegendOfChunLi her own movie]] (though [[VideoGameMoviesSuck people don't like to talk about it]]).
*** Cammy White is the only new character from the expanded editions of ''Street Fighter'' (besides [[FinalBoss Akuma]]) to appear in several spin-offs including ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken''. She is also the only character to have her own spin-off in ''VideoGame/CannonSpike''.[[note]]not counting ''VideoGame/StreetFighter2010'', whose association is ambiguous and largely attributed to a DubNameChange.[[/note]]
*** Weirdly [[ZigZaggingTrope zigzagged]] with the strange case of C. Viper of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV''. It seems that Capcom thought that she would become an EnsembleDarkhorse and thus included her in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', then realized that she was not actually that popular and bailed to the point that she wasn't even playable in ''Street Fighter X Tekken''.[[note]]It is possible that her inclusion in ''[=MvC3=]'' in the first place was only to [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute replace]] out-of-fashioned VideoGame/CaptainCommando with a more recent character [[WolverinePublicity promoting a current game]].[[/note]] The game's second female newcomer, [[DarkActionGirl Juri]], eventually proved to be ''[=SF4=]''[='=]s most popular newcomer.
*** In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'', Sakura Kasugano became a case of this. A female fan of Ryu with a similar play style, she became one of the most beloved characters of the spin-off series, to the point where she got her own manga spin-off. The only other ''Alpha'' character to prominently feature in other games is [[JokeCharacter Dan]].

* {{Wrestling/Naomi}} initially made it to TV as part of Wrestling/TheFunkadactyls managing Wrestling/BrodusClay. While part of the stable, she became a cast member of ''Series/TotalDivas'' and garnered more mainstream attention. While she suffered a few career setbacks from 2015-2016, she eventually struck gold when she became Smackdown Women's Champion and got over massively with the fans. Brodus was released two years previously after a failed heel turn. Her partner {{Wrestling/Cameron}} looked to be a straight example too, but her WWE career came to an abrupt end in 2016.

* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':

** Perhaps invoked with ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''. Despite Comicbook/WonderWoman (Creator/GalGadot) having a supporting role, a lot of press stemmed from the fact that she was making her live-action film debut. She got lots of praise, to the point of being the one thing ''universally'' loved about the film - and many expressed excitement for her upcoming long-awaited [[Film/WonderWoman2017 movie]]. Said movie ended up becoming the first critical success of the DCEU. The film has gone on to become the setting's most successful film at the domestic box office, and a [[Film/WonderWoman1984 sequel]] was fast-tracked while other movie projects that were discussed way before (some even since the days of ''Film/ManOfSteel'') remain in DevelopmentHell. She's front and center on the DVD covers of the Ultimate Edition of ''Batman v Superman'', and was featured front and center in the promotional campaigns of ''Film/{{Justice|League 2017}} [[Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague League]]''. Doubly ironic, considering Wonder Woman used to be considered as the least popular (or the least well-known) of DC's Big Three heroes.

* Gwen Stefani of Music/NoDoubt, though she was TheFaceOfTheBand to begin with. The video for "Don't Speak" shows her taking the spotlight and starring in all the publicity photos, while her three (male) bandmates languish in obscurity.

* ''[[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]]'': Meggy the [[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} Inkling]] was a OneShotCharacter who fans latched onto for her {{Badass}}ery and surprisingly wholesome friendship with [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] (a HeroicComedicSociopath in this series). This inspired the creators to include her as the first female character in the main cast lineup[[note]](not counting Princess Peach, whom the creators saw as more a story device than an actual character)[[/note]], but not with the intent of overshadowing the others. Still, as her popularity continued to grow, the creators took such a shine to her that they gave her a [[HumanityEnsues human redesign]] to expand the possibilities of what they could do with her. Cue Meggy getting [[WebAnimation/MeggysDestinyAnSMG4Movie her own movie]], professional [[SuddenlyVoiced voice actors]][[note]]first Creator/LizzieFreeman, later Creator/ElsieLovelock[[/note]], a [[WebAnimation/SunsetParadise fully animated spin-off]], and a hefty dose of CharacterDevelopment. Since then, she can easily be seen as a central protagonist alongside Mario and [[AuthorAvatar SMG4]] himself.

* Aqua from ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'' is the series' first female proper playable character[[note]]Larxene and Xion are playable in ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2 358/2 Days]]'''s multiplayer mode, but it has nothing to do with the story.[[/note]], is the only one to be female among that game's playable characters, and is the only female major character in that game. She is probably the most memorable character from ''[=BbS=]'', at least memorable enough that she got [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts02BirthBySleepAFragmentaryPassage a whole game]] dedicated to her, and is one of the three characters playable in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII''. Somewhat invoked as you're ''supposed'' to root for her from the beginning; since her campaign is the longest, and you'll always end the game as her (even if you start out as Terra or Ven), she is the overall protagonist of ''[=BbS=]''.

* ''[[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]]'': Meggy the [[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} Inkling]] was a OneShotCharacter who fans latched onto for her {{Badass}}ery and surprisingly wholesome friendship with [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] (a HeroicComedicSociopath in this series). This inspired the creators to include her in the main cast lineup as the first female character to go on regular adventures with Mario[[note]](not counting Princess Peach, whom the creators saw as more a story device than an actual character)[[/note]], but not with the intent of overshadowing his other friends. Still, as her popularity continued to grow, the creators took such a shine to her that they gave her a [[HumanityEnsues human redesign]] to expand the possibilities of what they could do with her. Cue Meggy getting [[WebAnimation/MeggysDestinyAnSMG4Movie her own movie]], professional [[SuddenlyVoiced voice actors]][[note]]first Creator/LizzieFreeman, later Creator/ElsieLovelock[[/note]], a [[WebAnimation/SunsetParadise fully animated spin-off]], and a hefty dose of CharacterDevelopment. Since then, she can easily be seen as a central protagonist alongside Mario and [[AuthorAvatar SMG4]] himself.

* Chun-Li of ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' and Mai Shiranui of ''VideoGame/FatalFury'', originally the only female characters in their series, are quite possibly even more popular than the two franchise's true leads, Ryu and Terry. Chun-Li is the only character aside from Ryu to have appeared in every VideoGame/CapcomVs game and even got [[Film/StreetFighterTheLegendOfChunLi her own movie]], though [[VideoGameMoviesSuck people don't like to talk about it.]]
** Related to Chun-Li, Cammy White is the only new character from the expanded editions of ''Street Fighter'' (besides [[FinalBoss Akuma]]) to appear in several spin-offs including ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken''.
** Weirdly [[ZigZaggingTrope zigzagged]] with the strange case of C. Viper of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV''. It seems that Capcom thought that she would become an EnsembleDarkhorse and thus included her in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', then realized that she was not actually that popular and bailed to the point that she wasn't even playable in ''Street Fighter X Tekken''.[[note]]It is possible that her inclusion in ''[=MvC3=]'' in the first place was only to [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute replace]] out-of-fashioned VideoGame/CaptainCommando with a more recent character [[WolverinePublicity promoting a current game]].[[/note]] The game's second female newcomer, [[DarkActionGirl Juri]], eventually proved to be ''[=SF4=]''[='=]s most popular newcomer.
** In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'', Sakura Kasugano became a case of this. A female fan of Ryu with a similar play style, she became one of the most beloved characters of the spin-off series, to the point where she got her own manga spin-off. The only other ''Alpha'' character to prominently feature in other games is [[JokeCharacter Dan]].
** If one wants to be technical, in the VideoGame/CapcomVs works, Chun-Li is ''the'' representative from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' [[note]]while making Ryu the representative from the [[VideoGame/StreetFighterI original game]][[/note]].
* Morrigan Aensland and Felicia (and to a lesser extent, B.B. Hood and Hsien-Ko) from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' are a particularly extreme example. They have completely overtaken the male lead, Demitri, almost 100%. Probably because he was a VillainProtagonist who was hard to render in 3D. In, particular, Felicia was advertised as just another monster at the start, and is now way more than that. And Morrigan has become to ''Darkstalkers'' what Chun-Li is to ''Street Fighter'', the consistent face of the franchise in crossover games, while Demitri Maximoff, the original protagonist of the series, is pretty much forgotten today.

** Lyndis, to a lesser extent, is also pretty popular. From ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Blazing Blade]]'', she is the only member of the PowerTrio to appear in other games[[note]]outside of its own canon, Hector and Eliwood both appeared in the chronological sequel ''The Binding Blade''[[/note]] as [[DownloadableContent DLC]] in ''Awakening'' and as Assist Trophy in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' games. This is partly due to the fact that she was [[FirstInstallmentWins the first Lord and first contact with the series for the Western audience]] outside of Marth and Roy. This extended to ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage'' where Lyn is the one from her game that can be summoned as the Emblem spirits to aid Alear.

* Dorky yet badass Lucina from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' became one of the most popular characters in the game and even the entire [[Franchise/FireEmblem franchise]] to the point that she is featured in numerous crossover games such as ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' and ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone''.

** Lyndis, to a lesser extent, is also pretty popular.

This is partly due to the fact that she was [[FirstInstallmentWins the first Lord and first contact with the series for the Western audience]] outside of Marth and Roy.

* Android 18 from ''Franchise/DragonBall''. She is without a doubt the most popular and well-known of the Androids (excluding Cell) and has been playable in almost every ''Dragon Ball'' fighting game on the market; aside from the Z Fighters and the main villains she is easily the character you can be most assured will be playable.

* Despite not being the protagonist and being introduced half an hour into the film, Mako Mori is often considered the most standout character of ''Film/PacificRim'', thanks to Creator/RinkoKikuchi's ([[AMinorKidroduction and Mana Ashida's]]) performance and Mako's arc driving much of the plot. It also helps that she's ''not'' a love interest; she and protagonist Raleigh stick to being just friends by the end of the movie. Her character ended up inspiring a new template for feminism in films, [[http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Mako_Mori_test the Mako Mori Test]], intended as a partner to UsefulNotes/TheBechdelTest.

* ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' franchise: Angel (Experiment 624), a pink [[Character/LiloAndStitchExperiments genetic experiment]] who looks like a DistaffCounterpart to Stitch, appeared in just ''two'' episodes of ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries''; [[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E30Angel her eponymous debut]] in the last third of season one, and "[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E25Snafu Snafu]]", which first aired nearly two-and-a-half-years later as the penultimate episode of the show and immediately before the premiere of finale film ''WesternAnimation/LeroyAndStitch''. But a Disney Channel online poll held during the break between the two seasons showed her and her episode to be the #1 fan favorite. As a result of her popularity, she became a recurring character in the subsequent anime spin-off series ''Anime/{{Stitch}}'', appears as a costumed character at the Ride/DisneyThemeParks (which even got a redesign to better match with Stitch's costume design), appears in a few Disney crossover video games including ''VideoGame/DisneyMagicKingdoms'' (she was even the first Creator/DisneyTelevisionAnimation character to appear in that game), and gets her own merchandise sold worldwide to this day, even in the United States where the polarizing anime had a ''very'' brief run before it was pulled from there. By comparison, nearly all the other experiments besides her and Stitch get very little to no representation in merch or marketing today.

* ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' franchise: Angel (Experiment 624), a pink experiment who looks like a DistaffCounterpart to Stitch, appeared in just ''two'' episodes of ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries''; [[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E30Angel her eponymous debut]] in the last third of season one, and "[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E25Snafu Snafu]]", which first aired nearly two-and-a-half-years later as the penultimate episode of the show and immediately before the premiere of finale film ''WesternAnimation/LeroyAndStitch''.

* ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'': Chip and Dale were already established Disney characters and the ostensible leads of the series.But Gadget was the one who became PopularWithFurries and the most memorable character due to her GeniusDitz nature. There's still a Gadget-themed roller coaster at Disneyland, twenty years after the series run.
** And from the original ''WesternAnimation/ChipAndDale'' theatrical shorts, there's Clarice from ''WesternAnimation/TwoChipsAndAMiss''. Despite being conceived as a OneShotCharacter, [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff she became very popular in Japan]], to the point that she appears regularly in media and merchandise involving the ''Franchise/MickeyMouse'' franchise released in that country.

* Cindy Bear, despite having only a handful of appearances in the original ''WesternAnimation/YogiBear'' cartoon, seemed to gain more prominent appearances in later revivals and crossover series, likely because she is the nearest to a recurring female character representing the early Creator/HannaBarbera works. She is among the few supporting characters to compete in ''WesternAnimation/LaffALympics'' and is a lead character in ''WesternAnimation/YoYogi''. In both cases she is the only female character in her team.
* Daria Morgendorffer, a minor reoccuring character in ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'', got her own tv show, ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', which can't be said for any otherwise more important cast members.

* After the end of ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'', Creator/MirandaCosgrove moved on to the lead role in ''{{Series/iCarly}}''. That show was a massive smash hit for {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} and propelled her to a level of stardom way beyond what any Nickelodeon actor had ever had before and likely won't see again for a long time...until Music/ArianaGrande came along. She eventually became the highest paid 'minor aged' actress on all of television for the last three seasons of the show.

** In ''Super Mario'' and its spin-offs, several female characters stood up enough to receive some kind of representation in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', which is usually a good barometer of popular characters in the Nintendo universes. First, ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''[='=]s Rosalina is the most notorious exemple as she became playable in the fourth game before more familiar [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter and grounded]] ''Mario'' characters like Daisy and Waluigi. ''VideoGame/WarioWare''[='=]s DarkMagicalGirl Ashley is also noteworthy, receiving two songs in ''Brawl'' then promoted to Assist Trophy in ''Smash for 3DS/Wii U''. Finally, Goombella from ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'' is probably one of the most popular companions from the ''Paper'' series, and as such is the only one of them to have its own trophy in ''Brawl'' and even in ''3DS/Wii U'', ten years after her first and last playable appearance.

* People recall Wrestling/JillianHall's WWE run for her ridiculous gimmicks and {{jobber}} run but at least they recall. How much less is said of the rest of the Bomb Squad, the stable she used to be a member of? So the bomb squad [[NamesTheSame sharing their name]] with many other stables may also play a role but the same could be said of Jillian's OVW team, the Blonde Bombers, who became the Dicks on Smackdown. Who knows her personal referee Whipme Spearz or her former tag team partner Tiny Tim? The male teammates whose fame was not overshadowed by Jillian's were already well established (JBL, [[Wrestling/LondonAndKendrick London, Kendrick]]...maybe Orlando Jordan and the Basham Brothers)

** Toadette, the sole recurring female Toad, originated as a partner for the main Toad in ''VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash''. Since then, she's gone on to be a helper in two ''Paper Mario'' games, joined up with VideoGame/{{Captain Toad|TreasureTracker}} as a member of the Toad Brigade, serves as an extra player alongside Blue and Yellow Toad in the platformers, and rarely misses a spinoff. She even got her own exclusive power-up in ''[[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''.

* ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Super Mario]]''

* Princess Peach of ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Super Mario]]'' proved to be popular enough to receive her own spin-off game: ''VideoGame/SuperPrincessPeach''. The game was well received, though criticized for using the HystericalWoman trope as the main gameplay mechanic. In any case, she's never missed a single spin-off multiplayer game and proved to be quite the ActionGirl in some of them ([[https://youtu.be/zip4qJqhpzQ?t=11s especially]] in the ''VideoGame/MarioStrikers'' series). To say nothing of the occasions she becomes a party member in the [=RPGs=].

* ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'': Ashley Tisdale and Debby Ryan are the two biggest stars to come out of the franchise. Tisdale continued to make a name for herself in ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' and ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', whereas Ryan got her own show in ''Series/{{Jessie}}''. And, when ''Jessie'' ends, Creator/PeytonRList may go the same direction.

* The child actresses in the original ''Film/DiaryOfAWimpyKid'' trilogy, as Creator/ChloeGraceMoretz and, to a lesser extent, Creator/PeytonRList have been the most successful stars since the series ended[[note]]although the other main child actress, Laine MacNeill, has done little since[[/note]]. The actors have not done much otherwise, as Karan Brar only remained relevant by appearing on the [[Series/{{Jessie}} same]] [[Series/{{Bunkd}} shows]] as Creator/PeytonRList. Devon Bostick did OK since then thanks to his role on ''Series/The100'', but not by that much. Zachary Gordon, Robert Capron, Grayson Russell, and the Fielding twins (who played Manny) virtually vanished from the spotlight after the series ended.

* Wrestling/AlexaBliss became the manager to Blake and Murphy on NXT. Fans are usually indifferent to the two of them, but Alexa draws good reactions and has been pushed for the Women's Championship more than once. She became a high-profile star of her own when she parted ways with them, and soon became [[UpToEleven the first woman to hold both the Raw and Smackdown Women's Championship]]. As for the team she left behind: Buddy Murphy was briefly Cruiserweight Champion and Wrestling/SethRollins' lackey, whilst Wesley Blake had brief runs as part of the Forgotten Sons (torpedoed by stablemate Jaxson Ryker's anti-BLM comments) and as enforcer for Wrestling/BaronCorbin. Both men were released in 2021.

* Gender inverted with Ryo Akizuki from ''VideoGame/TheIdolmasterDearlyStars''. At the time of the game's release he was the only male idol in the franchise ([[DudeLooksLikeAlady though you sure couldn't tell]] [[DraggedIntoDrag by looking at him]]), and once his gender was revealed preorders of the game skyrocketed. Ryo was eventually made into a fully producable idol in the male idol spinoff ''VideoGame/TheIdolmasterSideM'', but his fellow ''Dearly Stars'' idols Ai and Eri have yet to be playable since, being relegated to occasional cameos.
