8[[caption-width-right:250:[-The one on the right, if you couldn't tell by that prim and proper posture.-]]]
9Ojou (お嬢), pronounced ''o-joe'' or ''eau-jeau'' for French speakers (often ''Ojou-san'' or ''Ojou-sama'', [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics as they are the more formal honorifics]]), a formal Japanese word for literally "young lady", is typically used in anime when referring to wealthy, high-class female characters.[[note]]This term should not be confused with ''Oujo'', which means "princess" (literally "lord's daughter"). ''Ojou'' is written with distinctly different kanji and has the accent on the second syllable while ''oujo'' has it on the first. Regardless, this entry is in fact suitable for both, due to shared personality and mannerisms. Likewise, "ojou-''chan''" is closer to "little lady" - a friendly way for adults to address a young woman whose name they don't know, rather than implying anything about her background.[[/note]]
10
11The reason for that is that while she is often rich, and occasionally even an actual BlueBlood, the key point is that other people ''treat her'' like royalty, whether or not she actually is. Sometimes an Ojou can actually attain her status simply by personality alone (often in [[{{Joshikousei}} high school settings]] where she is probably a SchoolIdol), by being so heavily idolized that a fanclub springs around her, elevating her to a status far above that of those around her, while leveling violent reprisals against any who would treat her as a commoner. Oftentimes, a wealthy Ojou is found in a leading role in the AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil. In fact, her wealth is often the HandWave explanation for the absurd power: they ''make'' the rules because [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney they have money]].
12
13In [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseLanguage the original Japanese]], expect all types of ojou to use the more formal [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns first-person pronoun]] "''watakushi''" rather than the neutral "''watashi''" or the more casual (and [[UsefulNotes/GenderAndJapaneseLanguage feminine-only]]) "''atashi''," and to make heavy use of the "''wa''" feminine emphasis particle at the end of their sentences.
14
15Most Ojou characters can be boiled down to three main types: a ProperLady, an IceQueen, and RoyalBrat version. See the [[Analysis/{{Ojou}} Analysis For This Page]] to see how those three types tend to play out.
16
17A staple feature of these characters are to have OjouRinglets, RegalRinglets, or a HimeCut for a haircut and for the RoyalBrat a NoblewomansLaugh.
18
19A character saying "''oujo-sama to oyobi''" (roughly, "Call me queen") implies [[TheBaroness something else entirely]].
20
21The terms ''bocchan'' and ''bocchama''[[note]]Contraction of "bocchan-sama"[[/note]] are usually seen as [[SpearCounterpart male equivalents]] of ''ojou-san'' and ''ojou-sama'' respectively... but, as implied by the use of the affectionate diminutive ''-chan'', they have much stronger implications of a ShelteredAristocrat. See PrincelyYoungMan for a more direct counterpart to the "elegant" implications of this trope. BoysLove works occasionally features a male version of the Ojou. The YamatoNadeshiko is the adult version.

24!!Examples:
25
26[[foldercontrol]]
27
28[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
29* Ken Akamatsu's early manga ''Manga/AILoveYou'' has two: Kimika Aso is the haughty and mean-spirited type and an {{Expy}} of [[Manga/AhMyGoddess Sayoko Mishima]].
30* ''Manga/AiYoriAoshi'':
31** Mayu Miyuki is a type 2, and something of a RichBitch when she's not around Kaoru. She still gets a bit of sympathy due to ParentalAbandonment.
32** Aoi Sakuraba, only daughter of a wealthy family, is an almost perfect type 1, and very much the YamatoNadeshiko. Her bodyguard/tutor/foster-sister Miyabi, a NinjaMaid without the {{Meido}} uniform, calls her "Aoi-ojou-sama" from time to time, especially early in the manga.
33* Reika Ryuuzaki in ''Manga/AimForTheAce'', one of the founding members of the stylized genre, and the first to use many of the phrases that went on to define the speech of rich girls in anime. (Note that Kazumi Amano Anime/{{Gunbuster}} is a huge parody of Reika, and indeed ''Anime/{{Gunbuster}}'' is one giant parody of ''Manga/AimForTheAce'', though few fans are aware of it.
34* Midori from ''Manga/AttackNumberOne'' starts out as a queenly if not a bit snobbish rich girl on the volleyball team, but progresses into a better sort of ojou who's more on the "graceful and gracious" end.
35* Chiyo Mihama from ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' is from a rich family [[TokenRichStudent despite attending a middle-class high school]], though she defies pretty much all of the stereotypes other than "BigFancyHouse", "polite speech patterns" and "has her own power and influence". Unlike most examples, she's a CheerfulChild who's generally very nice, smart, and well-liked.
36* Kyoka Kanejo from ''Manga/BGataHKei'' belongs to the second variety, has this trope in spades, and throws in [[BrotherSisterIncest an unhealthy obsession]] for good measure. Oh, and a [[BigFancyHouse ludicrous mansion]]
37* ''Anime/BattleSkipper'': {{Exploited}}. While she does fit the ladylike behavior and being heiress to a rich family part, Reika Ayanokouji uses this reputation to craft the perfect cover for the Exters in the Etiquette Club. Would you suspect the proper, rich girl of starting anything other than a club to teach her unruly schoolmates some manners?
38%%* Jinguuji Kanade in ''Anime/BestStudentCouncil''.
39* Kunugi-tan from ''Anime/BinchouTan'', who is also somewhat of a LonelyRichKid, despite living in a mansion loaded with {{meido}}s.
40* Sayaka Saeki of ''Manga/BloomIntoYou'' plays with this. She comes off as fairly dignified, and apparently went to a "school for rich girls," but she doesn't follow the stereotype as much as some InUniverse might think. Despite being fairly polite overall, Sayaka isn't above being a bit snide with people who get on her nerves, and she says that even at her old school, she and her friends enjoyed fairly ordinary pleasures like eating at chain restaurants and doing karaoke.
41* Takami "Komo" Komoda from ''Manga/{{Bokurano}}'', the daughter of either a high-ranked military man (manga) or a congressman (anime), is a quiet and determined AloofDarkHairedGirl who embodies the ProperLady type. [[spoiler: Even as she dies, ''especially'' in the manga where her piano playing is vital to her battle.]]
42* Most of the female characters in ''Manga/BoysOverFlowers'' (excepting the [[PerpetualPoverty poor to the point of absurdity]] [[PluckyGirl main character]] and her best friend), notably Shizuka, Domyoji's sister Tsubaki, and Sakurako, although the latter is more typified by her less pleasant attributes.
43* Tomoyo Daidouji in ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' comes from an extremely wealthy family, and as such is very composed and polite. She's sometimes followed by a cadre of female bodyguards. One of her AlternateUniverse selves from ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' is even referred to as "Tomoyo-jou." Mei Ling from the anime is one too, being a member of the prestigious Li clan.
44* ''Manga/CaseClosed'':
45** The Suzuki sisters, Ayako (ProperLady) and Sonoko (mild SpoiledBrat).
46** Also, ''many'' ojous show up in the different cases -- like Akie and Natsue Hatamoto (SpoiledBrat and ProperLady, respectively), Reika Yotsui (''massive'' RichBitch [[spoiler: who dies for it]]), Asuka Shibazaki (top model, daughter of a politician and another RichBitch [[spoiler: who also pays with her life]]), Ema Anzai (oil painter, member of a ''keiretsu'' and also a RichBitch [[spoiler: [[RuleOfThree ... guess what happens to her]]?]]), Etsuko Torakura (ProperLady, married into a rich family [[spoiler: via a cruel ScarpiaUltimatum]]), Naoko Takei (mix of ProperLady and LonelyRichKid [[spoiler: who is kidnapped due to her father's horrible sins]]), etc.¨
47** The latest Ojou in the series is Momiji Oouka, who mixes the IceQueen and SpoiledBrat types (she's more of the first in the manga, and more of the second in the 21-th NonSerialMovie).
48%%* Mikage Aya in ''Manga/CeresCelestialLegend'', a light-haired example.
49* ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'':
50** All of the girls attending Tokiwadai are called "ojou-sama" by pretty much everybody else.
51** Upon hearing that she's from Tokiwadai, Misaka is usually assumed by everyone to be a RichBitch... until it turns out that she's a [[{{Tsundere}} deredere]] NiceGirl with a heaping help of LittleMissBadass [[PersonOfMassDestruction for those who don't get it]].
52%%* Miki Hanakain in ''Manga/CheekyAngel''.
53%%* Yurika from ''Manga/ChocottoSister''.
54%%* Satella Harvenheit from ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'', who happens to be a redhead.
55* ''Anime/CodeGeass'':
56** There are mainly two, one on each side of the conflict (though neither one is directly involved in the fighting). Milly Ashford, the president of the school's AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil, whose family runs the academy everyone goes to. Kaguya Sumeragi was the head of a powerful house in Japan who, despite her young age, is treated much like a princess and has a high social status.
57** Also, three of Milly's friends are also Ojous to some degree. Nina Einstein mixed this with ShrinkingViolet and later PsychoLesbian, Shirley Fenette was this and the NaiveEverygirl, and Kallen Kouzuki mixed the Ojou and DelicateAndSickly images when she was in school to cover up her ActionGirl escapades.
58%%* Ai from ''Anime/CrayonShinChan''.
59* Reiko from ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'' is a pretty, yet ditzy RichBitch who believes Kyoshiro is in love with her, because she misunderstood a situation when he was teaching her French. She's so dumb she doesn't even notice that Kyoshiro is poor (a group she looks down upon).
60* ''Anime/{{Daltanious}}'' has the Princess of Proxia, Catine. She is wealthy and always wears exquisite dresses, but despite her cute appearance, she's a raging psychopath on the inside. [[spoiler: When she realizes that she won't get anything out of being a GoldDigger to Kento, she teams up with the forces of the BigBad to have him killed. It doesn't work and she's left pleading with him for mercy. Luckily, she's spared]].
61* Himemiya Chikane in ''Manga/DestinyOfTheShrineMaiden'' is an extremely lonely and rich young woman who fits in the IceQueen type, with a soft spot for Himeko.
62* ''Manga/FairyTail'':
63** Lucy Heartfilia grew up as one but she left because her father focused on his business instead of her to the point of neglect. That being said, no one in the Fairy Tail guild gives her preferential treatment and she prefers it that way.
64** Minerva carries that title as well and is even called this by her fellow guild mates.
65* ''Manga/FoodWars'':
66** Erina Nakiri is the daughter of a rich family. She's exceptionally beautiful and talented as a chef albeit too arrogant for her own good, at least until she undergoes some CharacterDevelopment. Her cousin Alice also counts, though she tends to be a lot more childish in her behavior and is a lot friendlier and more sociable.
67** Ikumi is a double subversion. While she is the heir to one of Japan's largest meat distributors and does get called ojou-sama by her father's subordinates, she is also a foul-mouthed [[TheLadette lad-ette]] with a penchant for wearing American-flag-patterned bikini tops. Young Ikumi was a far more traditional example of this trope, but her father raised her to be more laddish in order to have a chance of surviving as a woman in the frathouse-like atmosphere of the meatpacking industry.
68* Mint Blancmanche of ''[[Anime/GalaxyAngel Galaxy]]'' ''[[VideoGame/GalaxyAngel Angel]]''. For some reason, Mint seems to be a popular name for Ojous.
69* Mami Honda from ''Manga/{{Gals}}'' is ridiculously rich in the anime. Her wealth is not mentioned in the manga, though her style tends to be classier than Ran and friends.
70%%* Gowa Misuzu in ''Anime/{{Gasaraki}}''.
71* GeniusCripple Madoka Otowa from ''Manga/GetBackers'' (who also owns a [[MacGuffin Stradivarius]], oddly enough).
72* ''Manga/GiantOjouSama'' is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. It stars Oriko Fujido, the wealthy, [[RoyalBrat bratty]] heir to the Fujido vending machine conglomerate, and an amalgam of every stereotypical ojou trait ever played parodically straight. Her regal image clashes somewhat with how she must regularly grow to [[GiantWoman hundreds of meters high]] to fight off invading {{kaiju}}.
73* ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'':
74** The Nishizumi sisters live in a BigFancyHouse and are treated as ojous at home and by the Nishizumi-ryu students.
75** Hana Isuzu also lives in a BigFancyHouse, uses the ''watakushi'' first-person pronoun, and [[YamatoNadeshiko practices traditional flower arranging]] besides tank-do.
76* Ayumi Himekawa and Shiori Takamiya from ''Manga/GlassMask''. Ayumi is another ojou with lighter hair (downright blond in the old series), though Shiori is more of a traditional black-haired one. In Ayumi's specific case, it's actually {{deconstructed|Trope}} in the way this affects both her (lots of people think Ayumi is [[{{Nepotism}} using her parents' fame and wealth to further her career]], but she'll have nothing of it) and Maya (one of the reasons she thinks Ayumi is superior to her, which again doesn't amuse her).
77* Kumiko Yamaguchi in ''Manga/{{Gokusen}}'' is the granddaughter and heir presumptive of a {{yakuza}} boss and is called ''ojou'' when at home.
78* ''Manga/GoodDayToYouHowAboutAGame'': Ootori Academy naturally attracts ''ojou'', due to its prestige. The manga's Japanese title even uses "''gokigenyou''", an excessively-polite greeting stereotypically associated with [[ProperLady Proper Ladies]].
79* Wang Liu-Mei and Louise Halevy from ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]''. Liu-Mei is the IceQueen type, as the leader of a very important family and eventually one of the villains; on the other hand Louise began as a NiceGirl type with shades of SpoiledBrat [[spoiler: until she got hit with the MOTHER of all {{break the cutie}}s and became a mix of FallenPrincess, DarkActionGirl and BrokenBird.]]
80* Yurin L'Ciel from ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE Gundam AGE]]'', who's the ProperLady type. Unusually for the trope she wasn't ''born'' as one, but was adopted by the richest man in her colony after her parents died. [[spoiler: Too bad she met a ''really'' bad end.]]
81* Relena Darlian/Peacecraft from ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'' is both this and RebelliousPrincess. A more traditional Ojou is Sylvia Noventa.
82* Kihel Heim from ''Anime/TurnAGundam'' is a blonde, but fits in otherwise. Her little sister Sochie is more of a {{Tsundere}}.
83* ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'':
84** Nagi Sanzen, with a dash of {{Tsundere}} thrown in for extra [[{{Moe}} moe points]].
85** The [[NoSenseOfDirection perpetually lost]] Isumi Saginomiya fits the trope even better than Nagi; her profile in the manga even calls her the one most worthy of the title "Ojou-sama", and in the omake to Volume 5, chapter 52, Nagi and Sakuya actually discuss why she qualifies as the most ojou of the ojou-samas.
86** The newly introduced Athena also qualifies. Since [[spoiler:Nagi and Athena were originally the same character, it makes sense]]
87** Athena would fit perfectly, if she'd pull off the laugh.
88* In ''Anime/HellGirl'', Enma Ai's assistants always address her as "ojou", [[AvertedTrope but she isn't one]].
89* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'''s Integra Hellsing. Walter, her BattleButler, even [[LampshadeHanging calls her]] 'My Princess' at one point. You know, right after he [[spoiler:betrays her]].
90* ''Anime/HelloSandybell'' has the Countess of Wellington, who's the mother of the main male lead, Marc. Sadly she dies in a car accident, and Marc's father forces him to marry a woman he hates so that they can have access to her inheritance. Marc is disgusted at this and runs away from home. He mourns his mother dearly and her loss inspires him to create artwork that eventually [[TrueArtIsAngsty becomes world-famous]] and makes Marc FamedInStory.
91* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'':
92** The sweet-looking, wavy-haired [[MoeAnthropomorphism Belgium]] subverts this: the "Meeting of the World" strip and anime has her as The Ojou, some illustrations show her wearing very pretty dresses, and she already had quite a bit of money as a [[ChildProdigy pint-sized economic genius]] -- but characterization-wise, she's more of a tomboyish CoolBigSis.
93%%zce** Monaco is a straighter example, though.
94** Maria Theresa (yes ''that'' UsefulNotes/MariaTheresa) mixes this with TheHighQueen. So does Poland's old boss, Queen/King Jadwiga.
95%%zce** Austria's Nyotalia form is also this, though she loses the glasses.
96* ''Manga/HidamariSketch'': When Yuno and Miyako go to a shrine described as "wonderful" by their teacher, they encounter a Shinto priest who calls them "ojou-san". They soon discover that he calls even ''elderly women'' "ojou-san". The two speculate that he's the reason Yoshinoya called it wonderful.
97* Saya Takagi in ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead''. Her family is extremely wealthy, complete with a large estate and a BigFancyHouse.
98* ''Manga/{{Hyakunichikan}}'': Kanami is a kindergarten version with RegalRinglets to show her background, though the only one who really treats her like a princess is Tanaka, the caretaker her wealthy parents hired. Her classmates are too young to know to treat her any different.
99%%* ''Ichinensei Ni Nacchattara'': Miho, an elementary schooler.
100* Eriko Tamura from ''Anime/IdolDensetsuEriko'' is the daughter of the president of a large music company. Then, [[BreakTheCutie her parents get into a car accident, leaving her father dead, her mother in a coma]], and [[CorruptCorporateExecutive her evil uncle in control of the company]]. [[TraumaCongaLine Things get worse from there]].
101* Christine "Chris" Robbins from ''Manga/ItazuraNaKiss'' is the perfect example of a non-Japanese ojou. Her mother is a beautiful, famous actress from Hollywood, her father is the president of a major bank, and she has ties with nobility. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles,_Prince_of_Wales Charles]] was even invited to her wedding.
102* Kaguya from ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' is treated this way by her classmates, even by the standards of a school where over 99% of the student body comes from super-rich families. Her family owns one of Japan's largest companies, and she displays mastery over a variety of artistic and intellectual subjects. However, as hard as she tries to ''behave'' as one, she often displays lapses in behavior that are unbefitting of a proper one many times.
103* An overseas version of this is Layla Hamilton from ''Anime/KaleidoStar'', as a perfect IceQueen type.
104* Mika from ''Manga/{{Kanamemo}}'' is an odd case; she behaves very much like this, even calling Kana a "commoner", but why a rich girl would have to deliver newspapers is never addressed.
105* Akiko Hashou from ''Manga/KaseiYakyoku'', who leans to the IceQueen type.
106* ''Anime/KatriGirlOfTheMeadows'' has Lotte Kuusela. She is the wife of Carlo Kuusela, who died during UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne[[note]]the anime takes place in 1900s Finland, where the country was under Russian occupation, and he was conscripted against Germany[[/note]]. Lotte is SpoiledSweet and after his death, relinquishes the Kuusela mansion to her servant Viljemi and his wife Alina, and adopts Katri so she can send her to school.
107* Satsuki Kiryuin from ''Anime/KillLaKill'' is a regal, dignified tyrant who, as president of the AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil, rules over Honnōji Academy with an iron fist.
108* [[spoiler:Mirai Asuka]] from ''Manga/KingOfIdol'' revealed to be one in chapter 40
109* Kagami Kuro from ''Kodomo no Jikan'' is the second type but watch for the {{Tsundere}} streak.
110* Tsumugi Kotobuki (a.k.a. Mugi-chan) from ''Manga/KOn'' is a very sweet girl from a ''spectacularly'' rich family (her house is implied to be ''huge''), so she fits in the ProperLady sub-type.
111* ''Anime/LaSeineNoHoshi'' has Marie Antoinette and Madame Catherine. Marie Antoinette is a polite lady and her behaviours fit the trope, but Madame Catherine, on the [[{{Manchild}} other]] [[RichBitch hand]]...
112%%* Genevieve Van Heusen from ''Manga/LoveIsInTheBag'' is a Type 2.
113* ''Manga/LuckyStar'':
114** Miyuki Takara is the NiceGirl type; she lives in a [[BigFancyHouse mansion]], always at the top of the class, is extremely kind and polite to everyone despite her wealth and intellect, and her other friends go to an academy where they exchange greetings like those in ''Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs''.
115** Konata Izumi parodied this in an episode where she got addicted to ''Marimite'' and began acting like a ProperLady type, weirding out her friends.
116* ''Anime/LucyMayOfTheSouthernRainbow'' has Sylvia Princeton. She's the wife of wealthy developer Frank Princeton. Sylvia develops a mother-like bond with an amnesiac Lucy-May, but once Lucy-May recovers her memories and remembers her old family, Sylvia becomes a HystericalWoman and begs her to stay. Sylvia actually lost her own daughter, Emily, when she was two, hence her attachment to the titular character.
117* The ''Anime/{{Macross}}'' series possesses a few of these but plays with the trope some. Mylene Jenius in ''Anime/{{Macross 7}}'' fits much of the bill for wealth [[spoiler: and eventually quasi-mystical power]], but she has an aversion to the responsibility and expectations her social position (daughter of a pair of war heroes) places on her and, aside from her sweet ride, dislikes flaunting her money too much; Sheryl Nome in ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' is somewhat more traditional, although she usually conceals her identity in public to avoid being mobbed. Interestingly, both possess light hair, Mylene being cotton-candy pink and Sheryl being strawberry blonde.
118* Margaret Burton in ''Anime/{{Madlax}}'' is a NiceGirl type, before the plot reveals that it has many surprises for her...
119* ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'':
120** Fuu Hououji and her sister Kuu also fit the bill, and since they're both modest and ladylike they go for the ProperLady type.
121** At the beginning Umi was a SpoiledBrat type who went out of the way to make sure everyone knew it. She loosens up more or less soon and switches to a more ProperLady-like kind.
122* Victoria Dahlgrün from ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'', one of Vivio's rivals in the Inter-Middle tournament.
123** Nanoha's [[ThoseTwoGuys two friends Suzuka and Alisa]] are ridiculously rich. You wouldn't guess how Nanoha, whose family has only a restaurant and a dojo (well, [[VisualNovel/TriangleHeart3SweetSongsForever they are also mercenaries]]), got two rich girls with {{Big Fancy House}}s and too many pets, unless you know the backstory[[note]]Alisa bullied Suzuka, and Nanoha slapped Alisa in the face. Suzuka shouted they mustn't fight, and the three became friends[[/note]]. Well, both of them have pretty ordinary personalities.
124** Rinne from ''Anime/VividStrike'' is an adopted example.
125* Kurosaki Sayoko and Minazuki Mahiru in ''Manga/{{Mahoraba}}''. Kurosaki Asami's friend, known only as Sa-chan, tries to portray herself as an ojou as well, but whether she is or not is left an open question in the anime.
126** In the manga, the answer is revealed. [[spoiler: She isn't - she just has a small inheritance and plays up the image in order [[AttentionWhore to get attention]].]]
127* Asuna Kujo from ''Manga/MaisonIkkoku'' is a very timid young woman who is quite the NiceGirl, never ever getting angry ''even when she tries to''.
128* Meiko Akizuki in ''Manga/MarmaladeBoy'' fits the basic character type, though not the full stereotype: she has lighter hair and isn't a member of the Student Council (one of her love interests is the council president, though).
129* In ''Manga/{{Mellodia}}'', Momoe, at first, lived a rich life until her father's death. She later deconstructs the trope by learning to live by herself.
130* The dream-world version of Nagato Kaya in ''Manga/MugenDensetsuTakamagaharaDreamSaga''.
131* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'''s Momo Yaoyorozu is a polite, well-mannered, intelligent young lady who is also ''obscenely'' wealthy.
132* Fujino Shizuru in ''Anime/MyHime'', one of the rare ''ojou'' with lighter-colored hair.
133* Hyuga Hinata in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' is the ProperLady type. She's the heiress to the currently largest individual clan in Konoha, and has a BigFancyHouse.
134* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'':
135** Konoe Konoka and Yukihiro Ayaka (pictured above). Konoka [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konoe_family probably]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Yoshiko_(Shin-Seiwa-In) trumps]] Ayaka, but she still manages to be the least [[MosesInTheBulrushes royal person]] in her dorm room.
136*** Setsuna refers to Konoka as 'ojou-sama', as she is the daughter of the head of the Kansai Magic Association.
137** Also Evangeline, who lives in a gorgeous BigFancyHouse and is served by Chachamaru there. [[spoiler:She also was a more normal "Ojou", aka a high-ranked membress of a Scottish clan, before she became a vampire by the Lifemaker.]]
138** In a throwaway phrase [[spoiler: after she gets a Pactio from Negi]], Kotaro mentions that Chizuru Naba is this as well. The Nabas seem to be [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_industry into heavy industries,]] so they're are likely to be a part of a ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiretsu keiretsu]]'' (the successors of the [[UsefulNotes/ImperialJapan old-time]] ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaibatsu zaibatsu]]''). What does this mean? That her family is on par with ''Ayaka's'' in riches and prestige. No wonder they're close friends and share the same dorm.
139*** Confirmed after Ayaka [[spoiler: gets her pactio card and explains her business plans to help with Negi's Mars Terraforming project - the Naba's will be helping out financially (which indeed confirms Chizuru's ojou standing)]].
140* The image song of Tamaki Reika from ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi'' is actually called "Super Ojou-sama," and she refers to herself as the "world's prettiest Ojou-sama" in episode 14 of Motto Ojamajo Doremi. Reika herself is quite the example of the RichBitch type, though with sides of LovableAlphaBitch after she gets HiddenDepths.
141* Haru from ''Manga/{{Ojojojo}}''. It's right there in the title. She's the heiress of the Jigokumeguri Zaibatsu and is a deconstructed RichBitch (although she gets better as the story progresses). Her sister also applies.
142* ''Anime/OkkosInn'' has Matsuki, who runs a luxurious inn and acts like a bratty princess.
143* Sharon Rainsworth, her mother Shelly, and her grandmother Sheryl from ''Manga/PandoraHearts'' belong to one of the most powerful families in the series. Oz's younger sister Ada can be an example of this as well.
144* ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' has Scanty and Kneesocks, the {{Evil Counterpart}}s to the heroes. While the main characters are skanky and hedonistic angels who only care about satisfying their base desires, Scanty and Kneesocks are snobby and order-obsessed demons who take their evil duties quite seriously.
145* Isabella from ''Manga/ParadiseKiss'' is more or less an Ojou [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} trapped in a]] [[LonelyRichKid lonely rich boy's body]].
146* Ryoko Katsuragi in ''Manga/PenguinRevolution'' is Vice President of the Student Council and this in her school... except she's [[WholesomeCrossdresser actually a guy]]. Everyone at school [[AttractiveBentGender still thinks she's gorgeous]], though.
147* ''Manga/PleaseTellMeGalkoChan'' has a girl who just has "Ojou" as her nickname. While we don't know much about how much money she has, we know her lunches are always in tiered lacquerware bento boxes and made by the family chef, and the entire family has ''custom-made lingerie''.
148* Platinum Berlitz in ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' is a sophisticated, serious girl from a wealthy family.
149* ''Anime/{{Pollyanna}}'': Ruth is a 1920's American variant. She's from the Wetherby family and is always dressed lavishly.
150* Himeno's two step sisters Mawata and Mayune fit both types of Ojous in ''Manga/{{Pretear}}''. Mawata is the quiet yet spoiled girl and Mayune is the snarky overbearing type. Interestingly enough, due to her father's remarriage Himeno could easily be an ojou but refuses to let the legions of butlers and maids treat her like one. Or her classmates for that matter.
151* The ''Anime/PrettyCure'' multiverse seems to like them, with Honoka (Cure White) from ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'' and both Komachi (Cure Mint) and the aforementioned Karen (Cure Aqua) from ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5''. Then, there are Reika (Cure Beauty) from ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure'', and Alice (Cure Rosetta) from ''Anime/DokiDokiPrecure'', the latter being as rich as Karen. Both, Karen and Alice, are shown to have butlers.
152** Itsuki (Cure Sunshine) from ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'' -- when the term is used, it's a giveaway that [[{{Bifauxnen}} he is really a she.]] [[UnsettlingGenderReveal "O-OJOUSAMAAAAAA?!"]]
153** Hibiki (Cure Melody) from ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure'' subvert this. She's not as wealthy as the other examples, but she's obviously the wealthiest lead Pretty Cure, yet; her [[{{Tomboy}} tomboyish personality]] makes it a bit difficult to recognize this. Her parents are famous musicians and her house is fancier than her teammates'.
154*** Ako (Cure Muse), the princess of Major Land, was used to live in a castle, but now she prefers to live with her grandpa Otokichi, the former king, in a small house.
155%%* Hime and Sherwood from ''Manga/PrincessResurrection'' are both blonde examples.
156* ''Anime/PrincessDiana'' was born into an aristocratic British family and attended one of the country's most prestigous schools, Riddlesworth. She would later marry Prince Charles.
157* Rue in ''Anime/PrincessTutu'', however she fits also into DarkMagicalGirl. Though Rue is revered as much for being the best dancer as she is for her aristocratic manner. And like all RealLife prima ballerinas, she pays for that skill in pain and blood.
158* B-Ko Daitokuji from ''Anime/ProjectAKo''. Enough money and manufacturing capability to build multiple HumongousMecha ''overnight''.
159* Despite ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' being largely set in an upper-class neighbourhood, it's not until ''Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica'' and its title character show up that we got a true ojou. Though Hitomi and Mami come fairly close.
160** Incidentally, an official [[RadioDrama audio drama]] done by the voice actors contains the following exchange:
161--->'''Homura:''' A hostel? This is my first time.\
162'''Sayaka:''' Wow, you’re such an ojou.
163** Haruka from ''Manga/PuellaMagiSuzuneMagica'' was explicitly intended as a princess-type character.
164* Kodachi "The Black Rose" Kuno from ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' fits to a T in the RichBitch / SpoiledBrat kind. She and her brother Tatewaki even live in a traditional Japanese palace.
165** Also Mariko Konjou, the cheerleader who pursues Kuno. She's also a SpoiledBrat type.
166* Hirasaka Kayuki from ''Manga/TheRecordOfAFallenVampire'', complete with BigFancyHouse (with shishi-odoshi) and a ridiculously fancy kimono closet.
167* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'':
168** Nanami is one of the most over-the-top examples of the SpoiledBrat tyope, and ''holy crap'' does she flaunt it. [[TheChewToy And the plot bends over to punish her for it.]]
169** Juri is hinted to be even richer than Nanami and casually one-ups her at a ball. She's also an elegant, refined LadyOfWar
170* ''Anime/RemyNobodysGirl'': Mrs. Mulligan is the widow of the Mulligans, a prestigious British aristocratic family. She's always dressed lavishly, and her default outfit is GemEncrusted.
171* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'':
172** Michiru Kaioh (Sailor Neptune) is an interesting example of the IceQueen type, in that it is never stated that she is actually filthy rich, and we never have any idea who her parents are, but the fact that she owns a Stradivarius violin and a gigantic condo with its own aquarium (with Haruka) and is a world-famous violinist and painter in her own right (enough so to get double-billing with the world-famous pop sensation The Starlights in the ''Stars'' season of the [[Manga/SailorMoon 90s anime]]) still makes her part of this trope. In fact, Usagi, in a memorable episode, wherein she is feeling she is not classy enough or worthy enough of Mamoru, stumbles upon Haruka and Michiru in a theater in a park, where Michiru is up on stage playing her violin and looking classy, and then proceeds to bounce a lemon on her violin while playing it with her eyes closed; Usagi declares Michiru to be the "ideal Princess" and pitifully follows her around for the rest of the episode, hoping she'll get some of it by osmosis or something. Michiru also, notably, has a mirror that always shows her the truth and has the ability to sense when things are coming, and has wavy, aquamarine hair. It was clearly mentioned in the [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]] that both she and Haruka are rich, not as much as Hotaru's and Rei's fathers, but had loads of money. Specifically through a good number of patrons.
173** Rei Hino (Sailor Mars) is also an ojou of the IceQueen type. She goes to a private Catholic school and her dad's a big politician. Much more in the manga and [[Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon live-action]], though: in the first anime, she's a lot more HotBlooded (making her a bit of a SpoiledBrat when at her worst), and in ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'' she's closer to her original self but has some shades of ShrinkingViolet.
174* Saori Kido in ''Manga/SaintSeiya'', who begins as the SpoiledBrat type and matures into the ProperLady kind. She's even called ''ojou-sama'' by her butler by Tatsumi. The Bronzies are more informal and call her "Saori-san" ("miss Saori").
175* Touka from ''Manga/{{Saki}}'' is a classic version... [[VerbalTic desu wa]]!
176* Tsukiko Okakura from ''Manga/SakuraNoIchiban'' is from a wealthy noble family, has a group of girls that follow her every step, and is a member of the school's Sakura Blossom Club, a club where girls from rich families go to have [[TeaIsClassy tea parties]]. She also possesses a HimeCut.
177* Eri Sawachika of ''Manga/SchoolRumble'' goes by Ojou to several characters (most frequently Harima). Also a notable {{Tsundere}}.
178* Chisa Taiami (first type) and Hibari Niigusa (third type) from the post-apocalyptic manga ''Manga/SevenSeeds''. Their wealthy families helped fund the Seven Seeds project and insisted that they be included in exchange for this help.
179* ''Manga/SgtFrog'': Momoka.
180* The anime-only character Lulu De Morcerf in ''Manga/ShugoChara''.
181* Rodoreamon from ''Anime/{{Simoun}}''; Neveril is the same archetype but not addressed as such.
182* A more {{Tsundere}} version is Eri Fujisawa, the assistant of the Ryoukufu team in the third ''Manga/SlamDunk'' OAV. She's nicknamed "ojousan" by [[ButNotTooForeign Michael Okita]] and even by her coach, goes to one really exclusive school for rich kids (lampshaded often in the dialogues) and sometimes is more of a boss than the coach himself..
183* ''Manga/StoryOfADumbPrefectAndHighSchoolGirlWithInappropriateSkirtLength'': StudentCouncilPresident [[MeaningfulName Yamato Nadeshiko]][[note]]Though this is partially an IronicName, as she's not demure at all[[/note]] is a type 2, who enjoys [[TheTease teasing]] her Vice President Kaoru Kogori, especially in her [[SheCleansUpNicely "gal form"]]. She's well-respected as the StudentCouncilPresident, and her family is friends with the Kogori family, who are rich enough to have a beach villa and a chauffeur, implying her family's prominence too.
184* Lottie and Sara in ''Anime/StrainStrategicArmoredInfantry'' both come from rich families, as, it is implied, do most to all Reasoners.
185* The all-girl Fujigaya high school from ''Manga/SweetBlueFlowers'' caters to students from wealthy families, which makes "normal" girl Akira feel out of place at times. Kyouko fits right in though and she also tends to act the part. Yasuko also comes from a wealthy background but attends the middle-class Matsuoka high school. She is also much more tomboyish.
186* Aeka and Sasami in ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' both count, though Aeka comes to mind first.
187%%* Cheryl Christina Melville from ''Tico of the Seven Seas''.
188* Minto Aizawa in ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'' with shades of RichBitch at the beginning.
189* Saki Tenjouin from ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' is a type two: stuck up and prideful, but [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold shows a kind side]] towards people in need.
190%%* Endorsi, Maschenny, and Yeon from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod''.
191* Tamao Kikunoi from ''Manga/TheWallflower'' is insanely rich and referred to as a princess many times in the series. Even her fiance calls her "Ojou-sama".
192* During the camping arc of ''Manga/{{Yotsuba}}'', Ena and Yotsuba occasionally play at being [[ProperLady Proper Young Ladies]].
193[[/folder]]
194
195[[folder:Comic Books]]
196* ''ComicBook/AlbedoErmaFelnaEDF'' had many of them of both genders, including the titular protagonist. This is quite justified because, while being an American comic, the storytelling is [[{{Animesque}} definitely not]]:
197** As mentioned previously, the titular Erma Felna is basically a military version of this trope. She is a descendant of a prestigious family of soldiers that dates back centuries, and her personality usually gives that vibe, not to mention that, in times of peace, she is usually a very educated and formal woman, albeit, when she was a child, she was a RoyalBrat, especially towards her younger brother. On the other hand, she could be a deconstruction of this, as she could be quite mercurial, vindictive at times, and prone to explosive outbursts, not to mention she doesn't receive any kind of special privileges for being one, not that she cares of this anyways. Heck, she is even addressed with the [[TranslationConvention in-universe term]] of ''ojou-sama'' by the resident MasterComputer, The Net.
198** Her mother Eda is a much more classical ojou than her own daughter, albeit this is very most justified, as she is an ActualPacifist with utter hatred for war. She even sits in [[SeizaSquirm seiza pose]] for drinking tea.
199** Teka Ardehad is also another classical example of an ojou. In this case, this is even more justified because she hails from a royal family and also because [[spoiler:she is a clone from Erma]].
200[[/folder]]
201
202[[folder:Fan Works]]
203* Anastasia Burns from ''Fanfic/TheSimpsonsTeamLASH'' is the haughty, princess-like, and [[AdorablyPrecociousChild adorably-precocious]] daughter of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Mr. Burns]]. She's even got giant drill-shaped pigtails and OjouRinglets.
204[[/folder]]
205
206[[folder:Literature]]
207* Claudia Enfield from ''Literature/TheAsteriskWar'' is the StudentCouncilPresident of the school the protagonists attend to and the daughter of a high-ranking official from a MegaCorp that [[OneNationUnderCopyright co-rules the world with five others]]. Ayato even remarks that, given the current political climate, Claudia has a better social standing than Julis, who is an actual princess of [[{{Ruritania}} a Central European constitutional monarchy]].
208* Annagramma Hawkin, Tiffany Aching's social nemesis in the young adult ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' books, embodies the second version of this trope. It is subverted in ''Wintersmith'', where it's revealed that [[spoiler: her family isn't rich at all]] and she actually starts to learn from experience.
209* ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'''s Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière is stuck in a school where ''everyone'' is an ojou (or their male counterparts) because it's a school for nobles. She still expects high-class treatment by everyone who's a plebian, [[EspeciallyZoidberg especially Saito]].
210* Houjou Reika of ''Literature/GoodLuckNinomiyaKun'' is an ojou and is called as such by her servants who call her "ojou-sama" and her juniors at high school who call her "ojou-senpai".
211* Tsuruya from ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'' is an aversion to any of the typical personalities. Technically she's an ojou because her family is ridiculously rich, and her BigFancyHouse is extremely impressive; however, she has absolutely none of the personality traits of one. She's laid-back, down to earth and is simply "one of the girls", not to mention a lot of fun. Probably why she gets along with Haruhi so well.
212* ''Literature/JourneyToChaos'':
213** Being Nolien's sister, Hailey is a Heleti blue blood. Her posh manners and StealthInsult training drive Tiza crazy [[spoiler: until they become best friends]].
214** While exploring Dengel's castle lair in Ceiha, Eric meets "Asuna", [[spoiler: the animated skull of one of his Dengel's students]]. He notes that she has the demeanor of a haughty lady and imagines what she would look and act like in the past; dressed in finery and ordering her father-figure's soul-bound slaves to perform tasks for her.
215* Katherine in ''Literature/KazeNoStigma'', from a "famous American fire mage family".
216* ''Literature/LadiesVersusButlers'' is practically filled with this trope, most of the characters are high-class BlueBlood. Sernia Flameheart is at the top of the heap though, with the hair, laugh and (for the first part of the story) attitude, but she lacks the respect of others, who only call her Ojou as a kind of mocking, usually preferring to refer to her as 'Drill' after her hairstyle.
217%%%%* Sara Crewe in ''Literature/ALittlePrincess'', before [[FallenPrincess she falls on hard times.]]
218* Kamishirou Rin (Japanese-type) and Kazetsubaki Kuriko (western-type) in ''Literature/{{Maburaho}}''.
219* ''Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs'':
220** A vast majority of characters in the series are this, with Yumi being a notable (and purposeful) exception - even if they don't act the part, all the girls' families are filthy rich. Sachiko is the most extreme example in personality, however.
221** Yumi is actually turning into the CloserToEarth version of the first type of Ojou. She's definitely got a set of fans that are rabid enough to give Touko hell once it's obvious that the latter is being favored by Yumi to be her soeur.
222** Touko herself counts as the second type. [[spoiler: Even if she's adopted.]] Actually, the Chinensis family seems to both attract and create Ojous.
223* Kanade in ''Literature/MayoChiki'' is a rather clear example, complete with her own [[BattleButler butler]] at school. Her [[TheTrickster true personality]] isn't [[ManipulativeBitch quite]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold standard]], though.
224%%%* Yao Mulan in ''Literature/MomentInPeking''.
225* Little Neese in ''Literature/RecordOfLodossWar''. Her mother is a very high-ranking priestess, her father a famous sorcerer, and her grandmother was one of the greatest heroes of Lodoss. As most kings of Lodoss were born commoners [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership and gained their position by becoming famous heroes]], this puts her in the very highest circles of society. Her personal bodyguard Aldo also always calls her Neese-sama aka Lady Neese.
226%%* Midori from ''Literature/TelepathyShoujoRan''.
227%%* Taiga Aisaka from ''Literature/{{Toradora}}'' appears to have the funds--at least enough to live in a huge apartment on her own, financed by her parents [[spoiler: (or better said, her mom and stepfather)]]. Of course, her small stature and [[{{Tsundere}} violent outbursts]] don't really make her give off the vibe.
228%%** Ami Kawashima is perhaps more indicative of this trope.
229[[/folder]]
230
231[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
232* Romana of ''Series/DoctorWho'', a Time Lady who, as she reminds him, did far better academically than the Doctor and who started off early on as an IceQueen, became a ProperLady, before regenerating. [[Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse Every iteration of the Expanded Universe]] has Romana's second or third regeneration become Lady President of the Time Lords.
233* Ahim de Famille from ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' is a Princess on a team of SpacePirates (due to TheEmpire they're fighting destroying her entire planet).
234* Lady Morgana in the first series of ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'' was the alpha female of the castle, what with being King Uther's beloved ward [[spoiler:and secret daughter]] and Prince Arthur's foster sister.
235* Tsuruhime from ''Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger'' was raised by a rather aristocratic family, while the boys were brought up on the streets.
236* Lana Lang from ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' started out being Smallville's sweetheart. She is kind to everyone, beautiful, and involved in everything so everyone in the whole school knows her and likes her. She also starts out as a cheerleader and the homecoming queen.
237[[/folder]]
238
239[[folder:Music]]
240* ''Music/{{Vocaloid}}'' Kagamine Rin in the "Story of Evil".
241[[/folder]]
242
243[[folder:Video Games]]
244* Petra Johanna Lagerkvist from ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart''. She's frigging rich alright...
245* ''VideoGame/Asuka120Percent'' has Tamaki Shindou, the principal's daughter.
246* Quinn Sakurazaki of ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvoltSeries'' is the daughter of a wealthy conglomerate.
247* Emma Cole from ''VideoGame/BalanWonderworld'' lives in a mansion staffed with maids.
248* Lady Riddel in ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'' is a somewhat meek and retiring ojou, though she has her moments of bravery.
249* Helena Douglas from ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' carries herself as one (and for all intents and purposes, fits the trope) but the soft exterior conceals a very troubled heart.
250* Rozalin of ''VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories'' is both a literal demon noble and accessory to WellExcuseMePrincess.
251* Sapphire of ''VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice'' is an AxCrazy example of this. Very nice to Almaz though except for one accidental attack and the time he needed to be punched to get him in line.
252* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
253** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'' has Lachesis, the prim and proper princess who ([[DefrostingIceQueen initially, at least]]) looks down on any man less elegant and knightly than her precious elder brother, Eldigan.
254** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade The Binding Blade]]'' gives us [[spoiler: Pent and Louise's daughter]], Clarine. She's a mounted WhiteMagicianGirl -> MagicWarrior who tends to act like a Type 2 but shows two or three Type 1 traits too (especially towards [[{{Tsundere}} Dorothy]]). There's also MagicalGirlWarrior Lilina.
255** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade The Blazing Blade]]'' has Lady Priscilla of Carleon, a ''redheaded'' and melancholic Ojou who's quiet and polite as well as a mounted WhiteMagicianGirl who can become a MagicWarrior through promotion, and Louise, a beautiful and elegant Archer married to Mage General Pent the most powerful magic user in Etruria. Both are NiceGirl types.
256** From ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'' we have the three princesses of the game: female lead Eirika, her friend Tana, and WhiteMage L'Arachel.
257** While many of the ''actual'' Princesses and royal women of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' are more down-to-earth (like [[spoiler:Lucina and any other girl fathered by Chrom]], Lissa, and Say'ri), the young noblewoman Maribelle breathes this trope. Implied in the case of Sumia, since she has the OjouRinglets hairstyle (even if not as big as Maribelle's) and her potential LoveInterest Gaius refers to her as "[[TheDitz that crazy]] noblewoman" in one of their supports.
258** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' has ''several'' Princesses (Camilla and Elise for Nohr, Hinoka and Sakura in Hoshido, a female Avatar and Azura [[ChildOfTwoWorlds for both sides]]) plus some noblewomen (Xander's retainer Peri, Hinoka's retainer Setsuna, and Ryoma's retainer Kagero). None of them tend to fit in the archetypical Type 2, however.
259* Gardenia from the ''Franchise/DotHack'' games both acts like a highly esteemed general and has her own devoted fan club (whom all members refer to her as Lady Gardenia). In fact, it's because of Gardenia's fan club that Kite was able to recruit her as they forced him to deliver her a letter. [[spoiler: And leading her to reveal she doesn't want anything to do with this fan club when she refuses to cooperate with Kite by taking the letter. At first.]]
260* The mainline ''[[VideoGame/TheIdolMaster IDOLM@STER]]'' series has Iori Minase, the Tsundere RoyalBrat, as well as Takane Shijou, the mysterious ProperLady.
261** The subseries games also have (at least) one ojou idol. Popular examples from the subseries include [[VideoGame/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirls Momoka Sakurai]] and [[VideoGame/TheIdolmasterMillionLive Chizuru Nikaido]]. One is a still-a-child idol who wants to be treated like a lady, and another is an adult idol who acts like a celebrity and often coughs when she [[NoblewomansLaugh laughs]]. Both of them fall into the ProperLady category.
262* [[ActionGirl Ashelin]] in ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' is the Baron's daughter, a high-ranking member of the Krimzon Guard, and takes over as Governor of Haven City after Praxis's death.
263* Chizuru Kagura, Hinako Shijou, Elisabeth Blanctorche, and Rose Berstein from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''. Chizuru and Hinako are the ProperLady kind, Elisabeth is the IceQueen type, and Rose is the RoyalBrat variety.
264* ''Franchise/MegaMan'':
265** Yai in ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'', a mini-Ojou of the Chiyo-chan sort. Her wealth and connections are often a plot point. They're also how she manages to stay afloat as a [=NetBattler=] without her friends' natural talent: she just buys outrageously expensive chips.
266** Her ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce'' {{Expy}}, Luna, is also a mini-Ojou, as well as her class' [[ClassRepresentative president]].
267* Nanami Ginja of ''VideoGame/OmegaLabyrinthLife'' is the heiress to the ''absurdly'' rich and powerful Ginja Conglomerate. Inside Belles Fleurs Academy, she acts much more like a princess than a class representative, dressing in much more elaborate and fancy wear than her peers, and taking great pains to be refined, genteel, and generous. One of her skills even references this: ''"Noblesse Oblige."''
268* Lady Bow of ''VideoGame/PaperMario64'' is a Boo version of this.
269* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
270** The first ''VideoGame/{{Persona|1}}'' has the elegant and beautiful Eriko Kirishima, who's from a wealthy family and is one of the more popular girls in her school.
271** Mitsuru Kirijo from ''VideoGame/Persona3'' is red-haired, the StudentCouncilPresident, and the daughter of the president of the Kirijo Zaibatsu. Her social link is even the Empress Arcana.
272** Yukiko Amagi from ''VideoGame/Persona4'', destined to inherit her parents' [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryokan_%28Japanese_inn%29 classic Japanese inn]] and widely desired by the boys in her school. Her Social Link is the Priestess Arcana, even.
273** Haru Okumura from ''VideoGame/Persona5'' is actually a bit of a subversion. She may be the beautiful and cultured daughter of the president of a major corporation, but she has trouble making friends due to her fear that everyone is simply trying to use her for her family's wealth, and her classmates regard her as a weirdo. That said, like Mitsuru, her Confidant arcana is Empress.
274* ''VideoGame/PrincessMaker2'':
275** The Daughter of the game subverts it: she and her father are, in practice, members of the nobility of the realm after the Father was the Hero who saved the Realm years ago, and she'd probably fit real well in the sweet type. However, despite her living with her dad and the family butler Cube in what's implied to be a BigFancyHouse, she has little ''actual'' spending money for herself, so she must take up part-time jobs after turning 10 to pay for her own expenses.
276** Out of the Daughter's rivals, Patricia Hearn is ''very'' much the SpoiledBrat type. She's the only Rival who doesn't hold any part-time jobs, is seen only taking up Art classes before she formally appears, and is super haughty and dismissive when she challenges the Daughter, NoblewomansLaugh included.
277* Yurika Kirishima from ''[[VideoGame/RivalSchools Project Justice]]'' is an odd amalgamation of qualities from both types of Ojou. Like the Proper Lady, she is unassuming and naive (although her desire for a normal life [[spoiler:is to escape her current life as a hired assassin and her brother's reluctant henchwoman]]), but lacks the vocal fanbase that worships her every move. She has the physical features of the Royal Brat (OjouRinglets and TsurimeEyes eyes), but lacks any of the personality traits of that type. She is still portrayed as high-class and implied to be rich, at least compared to her best friends BadassBiker Akira and JapaneseDelinquents Zaki.
278* Mii Koryuji from ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone''. Not only does she live in a BigFancyHouse but Kogoro often refers to Mii as "ojou".
279* Ridley from ''VideoGame/RadiataStories'' is type 2: A snobby BlueBlood knight, who is followed on her missions by other knights to make sure she doesn't get hurt. After a key event, she mellows into the first type; polite and sweet VIP among her new allies, with an IdiotHero declaring his life's mission is protecting her.
280* ''VideoGame/RuleOfRose'' has examples of both basic types: first Diana who is closer to the latter definition as the ''de facto'' leader of the Aristocrat Club, characterized by her strong-willed, mischievous personality and willingness to humiliate those who don't meet her standards, most notably the protagonist Jennifer. The second example is closer to the first definition: [[spoiler:the sickly, gentle-minded Wendy who in her role of Rose Princess outranks Diana and apparently is the founder and lawmaker of the Club. [[{{Yandere}} You also don't want to end up in her bad side.]] ]]
281* Sumire Kanzaki from ''VideoGame/SakuraWars'' fits the second category to a T. Beautiful, talented and rich, she has no problems reminding others of these facts.
282* Chiaki Tachibana from ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne''. [[spoiler: She evolves due to the horrific events of the [[EldritchLocation Vortex World]] into a full-blown monster]].
283* Karin Kanzuki from ''Franchise/StreetFighter''. Despite being wealthy to extremes (she uses her wealth to try to cheat Sakura out of a legitimate competition in the Sakura-focused UDON comic mini-series and can casually arrive to a fight via helicopter), she is talented enough to last in a real fight using her family's martial arts.
284* ''VideoGame/TearsToTiara2'' has Elissa, the daughter of head merchant and governor-general of Qart Hadast.
285* Emilie "Lili" de Rochefort from ''VideoGame/Tekken5: Dark Resurrection'' is the daughter of an absurdly rich oil magnate from Monaco that has [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney screw-the-rules money]] from his franchise (Though, by ''Tekken 6'' that rule seems to have no effect when he was on the verge of bankruptcy). She, however, spends most of her time with her butler and is quite graceful throughout.
286* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'':
287** Remilia Scarlet is the Ojou of the ''Scarlet Devil Mansion''. As for influence, well... she IS a powerful vampire... Somewhat subverted in that she's mostly only an Ojou [[RoyalBrat in her own head]], and the only ones who actually treat her like an Ojou are her NinjaMaid and, arguably, her MagicLibrarian.
288** Also, ghost princess Yuyuko Saigyouji is the Oujo of ''Hakugyokurou''.
289** And exiled moon princess Kaguya Houraisan is the Oujo of Eientei with Eirin and a horde of rabbits to keep her company.
290[[/folder]]
291
292[[folder:Visual Novels]]
293* Karen Ayanokouji from ''VisualNovel/AkaneIroNiSomaruSaka'' is this type of character. She has the curls, the laugh and tries very hard to please her classmates with her fortune, but ultimately ends up trying way too hard.
294%%* Mistaki in ''VisualNovel/Canvas2''.
295* Despite her [[NoSocialSkills complete lack of social skills]], Kotomi Ichinose from ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' comes from a rich family.
296* Sonia Nevermind in ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'', being titled as the "Super High-School Level Princess". It's implied that her home country is some sort of totalitarian police-state but it's all PlayedForLaughs.
297* Rin Tohsaka from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' has at least some characteristics of this: she's from a family of magi nobility (and she's not shy about it) and has a large fan club of boys at school who consider her untouchable.
298** Luviagelita Edelfelt is, at least in ''VideoGame/FateUnlimitedCodes'', a straight example of the second type.
299%%* Mutsu Emiho in ''VisualNovel/FinalApproach''.
300* Ouba Academy appears to mostly be a school for ojous in ''VisualNovel/KaraNoShoujo'' but ''the'' ojou is the local StudentCouncilPresident, Orihime Tsukishima. [[spoiler:Only she's stifling under the atmosphere of the school and expectations on her, so she set up a prostitution ring among those who are similarly repressed.]]
301* ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'':
302** Shizune Hakamichi comes from a ''very'' rich family, lives in a BigFancyHouse, and is the StudentCouncilPresident. [[spoiler: Later she's revealed to be a LonelyRichKid who has driven almost all of her friends away (save for Hisao and Misha) due to how competitive she is, and has very serious issues about it since, being deaf-mute, poor Shizune can't show and express her feelings and thoughts properly.]]
303** Lilly Satou comes from a rich family and has a BigFancyHouse (though she doesn't like it being referred to as a "mansion"). [[spoiler:She and Shizune also happen to be cousins]].
304* ''VisualNovel/MissingStars'':
305** Katja is of the ProperLady variant. She's a polite and well-mannered young woman who speaks in a formal manner. A [[https://somnovastudios.blogspot.com/2017/08/introducing-her-grace-duchess.html developmenter's blog post]] went into depth on how troublesome it was to make Katja fit this as the archetype is so overdone that even subverting it is becoming overdone.
306** Subverted with Natalya. Upon meeting, Erik mistakes her for one of these... then she starts talking. As it turns out, Natalya has none of the personality. She's a goofy joker.
307* Since ''VisualNovel/OtobokuMaidensAreFallingForMe'' is set at a private all-girls school, many characters fit this, most notably Takako.
308* Except for [[PennyAmongDiamonds Chiho]], all of the main female cast in ''VisualNovel/PrincessEvangile'' come from upper-class families, with the end result being that most of them live sheltered lives, having never seen a boy their age outside of their own brothers.
309* All but one of the harem from ''VisualNovel/PrincessLover'' also qualifies. Two of them are actual nobility/royalty, and the remaining seems to be the head of a large fashion company.
310* Miku in ''VisualNovel/AProfile'', though at first she attempts to deny it and pretend she doesn't fit the trope.
311* Kotonoha Katsura from ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays'' starts as the ProperLady kind. She's very pretty, kinda naive, lives in a BigFancyHouse, is thought of as "unreachable" by boys, envied ''badly'' by girls [[spoiler: and prone to snap ''horribly'' in some routes and endings.]]
312* All the girls in ''VisualNovel/ShikkokuNoSharnoth'' who attend the royal academy. They're not quite aristocrat level, but pretty close.
313* [[spoiler: Rei Ijyuin]] from the first ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial'' game. [[spoiler: She's actually a WholesomeCrossdresser who acts like a [[AloofBigBrother tough and aloof guy]], but has [[HugeSchoolgirl a hidden gentle and girly side]] which comes afloat if you get her as your girlfriend.]]
314** The more straight-up Ojou is actually Yukari Koshiki, daughter of a rich family and very courteous, naive, and sweet. [[spoiler: And she knows Rei's real gender, as they're childhood friends.]]
315** Megumi Mikihara, Shiori's best friend, also is a bit of this and of ShrinkingViolet. Yuko Asahina is this and a GenkiGirl.
316** And ''Girl's Side 1'' gives us Mizuki, of the RoyalBrat type.
317* ''VisualNovel/TrueLoveJunaiMonogatari'' has Remi Himekawa, who is the sweet LonelyRichKid type. [[MeaningfulName Her last name even translates to "Princess River".]]
318* Arcueid Brunestud from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}''. Very wealthy despite literally having no source of income, presumably based on a fortune that was amassed 800+ years ago. Check. Big house? Castle Brunestud, plus some vaguely alluded to mansions. Check. 'Real' Princess, check. Bit of a lonely rich [[ManChild grown up kid]] but other than that mostly just a [[CloudcuckooLander strangely friendly]] demeanor, check. Oh, and supernatural powers tied to her being a princess in the first place. She's also called the White Princess, if that helps.
319** Tohno Akiha is a better example, though. She actually does behave like a noble.
320* Mio Shimazu from ''VisualNovel/YuNo'' is a {{Tsundere}} variant, complete with OjouRinglets. She's the daughter of the town mayor.

323[[folder:Web Original]]
324* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
325** Weiss Schnee is an example of the ice queen subtype. While not technically royalty or even nobility, the Schnee family is enormously wealthy and powerful.
326--->'''Ruby:''' ''(to Weiss)'' Hey, I said I was sorry, princess!\
327'''Blake:''' It's heiress, actually.
328** Blake never talks about her family, only occasionally opening up about how she was on the run in the wilderness before she came to Beacon. She's therefore a bit embarrassed when she and Sun return to Blake's home in Menagerie, and Blake has to admit she's the daughter of the island's leader, and she lives in a BigFancyHouse with guards and servants.
329* Black-haired Ayla Goodkind in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse''. After being disinherited, she's still worth a third of a billion dollars, which is peanuts by her family's standards. She was disinherited from a mutant-hating family because she manifested as a mutant. She was the blond ShelteredAristocrat before she manifested.
330** Solange and Traduce are both definitely examples of the second type. Solange is also the AlphaBitch.
331[[/folder]]
332
333[[folder:Western Animation]]
334* ''Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
335** Mai of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', and Toph being a [[RebelliousPrincess rebellious]] [[TomboyPrincess tomboy]] version.
336** [[Characters/TheLegendOfKorraAsamiSato Asami Sato]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' is the daughter of Hiroshi Sato, the wealthiest man in Republic City and herself a genial, generous fan of [[FictionalSport pro-bending]] who talks her father into sponsoring her poor boyfriend's team.
337* Shriek from ''WesternAnimation/{{CatDog}}'' is the [[RebelliousPrincess rebellious]] type, having run away from her pampered life with a rich family to become part of the Greasers.
338* Trixie Tang on ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' is the richest girl in town, and everyone bows to her when she enters the bus (after an introduction said by the bus driver, no less).
339* Whitney Stane of ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'' is one of these, as the daughter of a high-class CEO. At least until her father lost his job as punishment for associating with a criminal and spent his money developing the Iron Monger armor.

342[[folder:Real Life]]
343* There once was a young Japanese arts student named Michiko Shouda, the daughter of a rich businessman who was the president and later honorary chairman of the Nisshin Flour Milling Company. She fell in love with Crown Prince Akihito of Japan, managed to marry her PrinceCharming [[UptownGirl after more than one hardship (because of her commoner status, and also the fact she was from a Roman Catholic family in Shinto-dominated Japan)]], and ultimately she became [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_Michiko_of_Japan Empress Michiko of Japan]].
344** Quite interestingly, she had previously been introduced as a potential suitor to a certain Kimitake Hiraoka (Creator/YukioMishima's pen name), a rising star in the Japanese literary scene as well as the royalist-nationalist Right. However, he was, alas, [[ManlyGay gay]], and a [[TheBeard Beard]] was not in the cards. So much the better for her; in TheSeventies, the poor fellow tried to stage a coup ''against her father-in-law'' and ended up committing seppuku.
345** For obvious reasons, pretty much every female in the Japanese Imperial Family qualifies as this. Crown Princess Masako (now Empress Masako) was an atypical case, though, as she had her own career as a lawyer before getting married to Crown Prince Naruhito ''and'', like the Empress, was a commoner.
346* Western example: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Silvia_of_Sweden Silvia Renate Sommerlath]], daughter of a German businessman. She married Carl Gustav XVI from Sweden and is now his Queen.
347* Another Western example: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, who was previously just Kate Middleton.
348** Also Sophie Rhys-Jones, Princess Edward, Countess of Wessex.
349** And another: Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, ''née'' Creator/MeghanMarkle.
350** And yet another: Diana, Princess of Wales, formerly Lady Diana Spencer.
351%%* Music/YokoOno was this before... well, shit happened.
352%%* Paul [=McCartney=]'s first girlfriend, Jane Asher, was one too. So was his first wife Linda Eastman, but in other ways.
353* Music/{{Beyonce}}. Even before she was rich due to her music, she came from an upper-middle-class family. She's very feminine and graceful and the people around her definitely treat her like royalty. Some even give her the punny nickname "Queen Bey".
354* Creator/GraceKelly: she was born into a wealthy family, became a film star famous for playing classy characters, and later married Prince Rainer of Monaco.
355* Jackie Kennedy. Her first husband was President John F. Kennedy and her second husband was Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis. She was known for her style, charm, dignity, and love of high culture.
356* Eva Peron. While born into a poor family, she grew up to be the First Lady of Argentina. Both during her life and after her death, she was famed for her charisma, political and charity work, and fashionable style.
357* Subverted with Anna Sorokin, aka Anna Delvey. She tried to pass herself off as an example of this by creating the impression of being rich. In reality, she came from a working-class Russian family and scammed wealthy business acquaintances and several hotels in New York City of over $275,000. ''Podcast/{{Swindled}}'' has further analysis of Delvey's schemes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuvlaUKEEkc here]]
