History Main / StudentCouncilPresident

* [[ActionGirl Shirayuki]] from ''LightNovel/AriaTheScarletAmmo''. She states this after having her skirt flipped by Riko, thinking that could hurt her image.
* ''LightNovel/TheAsteriskWar'': The Asterisk city's six schools each have a student council president, who have varying degrees of power depending on how they get elected. For example, at one school, the President is elected through a battle tournament, in which case her power over the students is very high. However, at Arlequint, a research institution, the President is typically chosen as a compromise between several powerful factions. However, the Presidents themselves are part of a pan-school council which has implausibly broad powers to direct school affairs, answering only to the [[MegaCorp Integrity Enterprises Foundation]] (which is essentially the world government).

* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'': Devil princess Sona Sitri holds this position at Kuoh Academy, along with her peerage who form the ranks of her AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil. It's actually a cover for her role as a guardian of TheMasquerade in the surrounding city.

* A few characters in the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' were this or ended up becoming this. Examples include Lechter Arundel in the ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky Sky]]'' series, Towa Herschel in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Cold Steel I and II]]'', and by ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsIntoReverie Reverie]]'', [[spoiler:Ash Carbide set a few months after ''Cold Steel IV'', and Renne Bright [[SequelHook at the future]] Calvard arc.]]
* This is Luna Platz's aim in ''VideoGame/MegamanStarForce 3''.

* Tenshouin Eichi in ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'' is the school's 'Emperor', the head of the AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil which at one point held total control over their fellow students' futures in the idol industry. However, while Eichi is a very talented heir who is highly regarded by the school's board (mainly due to his family's money) and he has both a massively inflated sense of self-importance and a manipulative streak, he's not especially strict about school rules and tends to leave most of the actual student council work to his right hand Keito. Rei was also the student council president briefly, despite being a rebellious student who was held back a grade, but he only did it on Keito's recommendation as part of a plot to sabotage him. After the current year ends, Mao becomes the new president, though he's really more of a [[TheReliableOne hard working behind the scenes type]] who feels ''very'' weird being referred to in any kind of flowery superior way like Eichi typically enjoyed.
* Nana Nakagawa in ''VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestivalAllStars''. Like the previous two series' (''Anime/LoveLive'' and ''Anime/LoveLiveSunshine'') Presidents, [[WholePlotReference The initial arc started by her rejecting protagonists' request forming school idol club]] unless they are able to find 10 members. When they got 9 members and starting tracking on famous school idol ''Setsuna Yuki'', [[spoiler: Nakagawa showed up in front of them, congulating on their resolve before revealing [[SecretIdentity herself is Setsuna they are finding for]], and joining them]].
** Twisted and subverted in later chapters - [[spoiler: Setsuna Yukis real identity was accidentally revealed by Mifune Shioriko. Believing that it is bad to school, Shioriko forced a immeient Student Council President re-election and Nakagawa lost]].[[spoiler: The following arc featured Shioriko trying to shut down the school idol club, but unsuccessful due to member's determination (and interventions by outsiders)]].

** [[BigBad Takahisa Kandori]] was St. Hermelin's eighteenth student council president during his time there. The unnamed current president considers him [[VillainWithGoodPublicity a great role model]].
** Yasuo Inoe from ''VideoGame/Persona2'' made a [[DealWithTheDevil Deal With Joker]] to become his school's student council president. In return, he spreads [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve reality-changing rumors]] and helps them mine [[MadeOfEvil Kegare]] from his classmates.

** ''VideoGame/Persona4'' has a brief cameo by Mitsuru's unlikely successor, [[spoiler:ex-ShrinkingViolet Chihiro Fushimi, who was Treasurer in the previous game]].
** And in ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'', [[spoiler:Labrys's mind creates a fantasy for her where she's this at Yasogami High School, in an attempt to fulfill a wish of the source of her personality, an ill girl whose condition prevented her from going to school]].

* Nana Nakagawa in ''VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestivalAllStars''. Like the previous two series' (''Anime/LoveLive'' and ''Anime/LoveLiveSunshine'') Presidents, [[WholePlotReference The initial arc started by [[Obstructive Bureaucrat she rejecting protagonists' request forming school idol club]] unless they are able to find 10 members. When they got 9 members and starting tracking on famous school idol ''Setsuna Yuki'', [[spoiler: Nakagawa showed up in front of them, congulating on their resolve before revealing [[SecretIdentity herself is Setsuna they are finding for]], and joining them]].

** Satsuki Kiryuin rules the school like a military dictator with the aid of Honnouji Academy's AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil, who are empowered by special school uniforms that make them nigh-invincible. Because her mother happens to be the chairman of the school's board of directors, her authority goes beyond even that of the [[AuthorityInNameOnly school principal]].

** At Aiichi the role of leader of the "Supreme Five Swords" (who serve as the student council equivalent) is appointed by their predecessor, or at least on their suggestion. During the series it's Onigawara Rin who has the job... Much to Hanasaka Warabi's chagrin, who, being a year older and having served in the Five Swords for longer, had been expecting to receive the job in her final year. This leads to Hanasaka's grudge against Onigawara, culminating in a sword duel and [[DefeatMeansFriendship Hanasaka gaining respect for Onigawara after losing]].

* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'': Devil princess Sona Sitri holds this position at Kuoh Academy, along with her peerage who form the ranks of her AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil. It's actually a cover for her role as a guardian of TheMasquerade in the surrounding city.

* In John Powers' book "Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?", the last thing any student wants is to be elected President of the Student Council. Only the most disliked students (the "fat and ugly kids") get nominated or voted into student offices; "winning" the presidential election means that student is THE most unpopular one in the school.

* The unnamed Student Council President from the ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' novels acts as the MagnificentBastard variety, primarily to fit with Haruhi's perception of the AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil and give her an "enemy". The President actually laughs about how ridiculous his role is. [[BecomingTheMask But soon, he starts taking it more seriously...]]

* ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'': Miyuki Shirogane, who is noted as being an extreme {{Workaholic}}. He's also a PennyAmongDiamonds.

* ''LightNovel/TheAsteriskWar'': The Asterisk city's six schools each have a student council president, who have varying degrees of power depending on how they get elected. For example, at one school, the President is elected through a battle tournament, in which case her power over the students is very high.

However, the Presidents themselves are part of a pan-school council which has implausibly broad powers to direct school affairs, answering only to the [[MegaCorp Integrity Enterprises Foundation]] (which is essentially the world government).

* ''LightNovel/StrawberryPanic'': Miyuki Rokojou, Shion Tomori, and Chikaru Minamoto representing Astraea Hill's three schools. Plus Shizuma Hanazono as the Etoile.
* ''LightNovel/StudentCouncilsDiscretion'': Kurimu Sakurano. She's a bit of an airhead compared to most of the examples on this page.

* ''LightNovel/UnlimitedFafnir'': Mitsuki, the younger sister of protagonist Yuu, is one.

** And in ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'', [[spoiler:Labrys's mind creates a fantasy for her where she's this at Yasogami High School, in an attempt to fulfill a wish of the source of her personality, an IllGirl whose condition prevented her from going to school]].

Depending on the series, he or she may be a SupportingLeader, the AlphaBitch, the BigBad, MessianicArchetype, TheOjou, ShelteredAristocrat, a MagnificentBastard or just another student. Note that some of these tropes can overlap.

* ''Manga/PenguinRevolution'': Ayaori is Student Council President, but his school persona is that of a vague and ineffectual nerd, leaving the Vice President - Ayaori's adoptive brother Ryo, cross-dressing as TheOjou "Ryoko" - to do most of the work.

* Ledah Rozwelli of ''Roleplay/DeptHeavenApocrypha'', inspired by the voiced drama for [[VideoGame/RivieraThePromisedLand his canon]] where he had the same role.

* ''Manga/StoryOfADumbPrefectAndHighSchoolGirlWithInappropriateSkirtLength'' has president [[MeaningfulName Yamato]] [[IronicName Nadeshiko]], an {{Ojou}} with a [[TheTease playful streak]], who sometimes wears a DangerouslyShortSkirt, [[BareYourMidriff bares her midriff]], and [[LettingHerHairDown lets her hair down]] for a seductive GyaruGirl persona. She mostly uses her "gal version" to toy with Vice President Kaoru Kogori.

* ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'': Anzu Kadotani. She's responsible for bringing back the tankery club, recruiting all the students (threatening Miho with expulsion if she doesn't join, although it's unclear how much she meant it and/or could carry it out), and [[spoiler: also was responsible for brokering a deal with the government to stop the school from being closed if they win the tankery tournament (as well as doing so again in the movie after the government goes back on the deal). She wasn't actually going to expell Miho, either. She was using ExactWords to make it sound like it, but in reality it was actually a [[RewatchBonus veiled hint about the school's imminent shutdown]]. ]]
