* ''WebAnimation/AoharuMangaLibrary'': Based on the tendencies of the roles they play, the three heroines fall into this trope (though certain stories can subvert their roles):
** Noa is the Child, since she tends to be the more lively, innocent type who is of a younger age.
** Nagisa is the Wife, who usually plays the mentor-ish figure or a figure of authority to keep everyone calm and nice.
** Yui fills up as the Seductress, since she's usually middle-aged and mostly the closest of age to court Keiichi. Additionally, she tends to be the one to play extravagant roles like a TeenIdol, and she's so far the only heroine who ever played the GoldDigger dumper (though in a sympathetic spin).
** All these are encapsulated in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGLZORvSL3g this episode]], where Nagisa is Keiichi's dead big sister, Noa is Nagisa's pre-teen daughter whom Keiichi raised in Nagisa's stead, and Yui is Keiichi's co-worker who ends up being his girlfriend.

** The ''ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders2018'' series zig-zagged it a bit. Role of the child is this time taken by [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cassandra Cain]] due to her being the youngest and lacking in social expertise, though a lot of her innocence was lost already. but the other two roles seem split between Katana and ComicBook/LadyShiva. Katana has blatant UnresolvedSexualTension with ComicBook/BlackLightning but resists it out of feeling it could be a betrayal of her dead husband, meaning the motivation of Wife/Widow prevents her from stepping into the role of Seductress. Shiva acts the role of Seductress, albeit non-sexual, as she attempts to tempt pretty much everyone on the team in some way, from urging Jefferson to seek revenge to trying to convince her daughter to abandon Batman's ideals. However, she does it due to a feeling being in Batman's shadow stifles Cassandra's potential - meaning she only assumes the role of Seductress out of a motivation befitting Wife/Mother.

** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2'' has Emma, a DeadpanSnarker teen prodigy and Otacon's little sister; Rose, who is Raiden's girlfriend attempting to get him to take their relationship more seriously; and Olga, who is cunning, vengeful, and attempts to seduce Solid Snake to distract him during his holdup of her.
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'' has EVA, who is a clear Seductress, The Boss, who is motherly and described as Snake's other half, and Para-Medic, who is still in her twenties, goofy, and obsessed with cool movie monsters. It is worth observing that Para-Medic and Snake come across as being relative equals, something done deliberately to emphasise Snake's ManChild personality.

* TheHecateSisters, where the "maiden" combines the naiveté of the child with the sexuality of the seductress, the "mother" combines the liveliness of the child with the maturity of the wife, and the "crone" doesn't have a close counterpart.

** Amethyst is the Child, being the more fun-loving, tomboyish one who tends to be on the same emotional level as [[CheerfulChild Steven.]] However, she occasionally takes the role of the Seductress, [[BlitheSpirit often goading others into hedonistic fun,]] and being quite flirty at times.

However, she leans into the Seductress role on occasion, as she was in love with Rose Quartz, and while she generally is more mature than Amethyst she isn't above the occasional lapse in maturity and judgement, giving her some hints of the Child.
