6	->'''Yugi:''' You're in love with me, right?\
7	'''Tea:''' Actually, I'm in love with your sexy alter ego.\
8	'''Yugi:''' Oh. ''[small beat]'' Well this is kind of awkward.

11	This trope is for characters of any gender that have an alternate form or identity that is much sexier than their normal mode. It's not necessarily because their "civilian" mode is ugly, but it is generally more mundane or otherwise less appealing than their "heroic" mode. Depending on the genre, the changes can be accomplished through either regular means such as acting and swapping wardrobes or though various [[MagicAndPowers magical]] or [[AppliedPhlebotinum phlebotinum-driven]] methods. This usually involves a change in a character's physical appearance, but sometimes it's purely a change in personality traits and behavior, suggesting that the character in question is deliberately [[ClarkKenting making themselves appear unattractive]] to hide their SecretIdentity.
12
13	Naturally, it often results in LovesMyAlterEgo.
14
15	Given that sexual attractiveness is subjective, the best examples are those when the sexier nature of the alternate form is shown from the perspective of another character reacting to them with subtle flirting and innuendo that otherwise wouldn't be present. That said, it's generally pretty clear when the creators of the story are trying to change someone from HollywoodHomely (or even downright ugly) into MsFanservice or a HeadTurningBeauty.
16
17	This often overlaps with SplitPersonality, {{Shapeshifting}}, OlderAlterEgo, and SuperpoweredAlterEgo.
18
19	Compare ADarkerMe. Compare also to ShapeshiftingSeducer where a shapeshifter capable of assuming many forms takes on several in an attempt to appeal to a specific person. SheCleansUpNicely should be used for when a character changes from their usually dull or unattractive wardrobe, hairstyle and such to be more attractive (particularly at a formal event) however this new appearance is not associated with an alter ego or alternate physical form. Also see SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains and SexyVillainsChasteHeroes.
20
21	See also BishounenLine for when a monstrous character gets sexier once they hit a certain power level, and WithGreatPowerComesGreatHotness when they get more attractive with power in general.

24	!!Examples:

26	[[foldercontrol]]
27
28	[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
29	* The main character of ''Literature/AccelWorld'', Haru, is [[OlderThanHeLooks a chubby looking teen]] with a tall and slender robotic avatar called "Silver Crow" which he uses exclusive in the titular virtual reality fighting game.
30	%%* ''Manga/AhiruNoOujisama'' has Reiichi and Omae. Reiichi can change back, Omae can't.
31	* Kinji, in ''Literature/AriaTheScarletAmmo'', normally tries to avoid anything even remotely romantic to avoid going into Hysteria mode. When he goes into it, he becomes a smooth ladies' man.
32	* ''Manga/DNAngel'': Daisuke changes into Dark, a [[TheCharmer suave]], TallDarkAndHandsome, older looking PhantomThief who is the heart throb of most of the ladies, except for Riku, who prefers Daisuke.
33	* In ''Manga/DGrayMan'', the [[BigBad Millennium Earl]] normally looks like a rotund, cartoony demon but occasionally takes on a ruggedly handsome human form.
34	* ''Kichiku Megane'' stars the adorable, shy, [[ExtremeDoormat door matty]] uke Saeki Katsuya, who turns into a [[FetishizedAbuser sadistic and sexy]] seme when he puts on his glasses.
35	* In ''Anime/KillLaKill'', Ryuko's scruffy old homeroom teacher, Aikuro Mikisugi, can reveal himself to be a ridiculously {{bishonen}} and [[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn chronically stripping]] member of LaResistance with little more than a HairFlip and GlassesPull.
36	* ''Manga/MeruPuri'': Aram is under a curse that causes him to age up to a teenager when exposed to the dark, likewise changing him from a cute boy to {{Bishonen}}. Of course, to the girls in the manga, this might be viewed as a CursedWithAwesome ability.
37	* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'':
38	** Negi Springfield and Kotaro both use age-up pills to change from AdorablyPrecociousChild and BadassAdorable to {{Bishonen}} from time to time.
39	** VampireLolitaArchetype Evangeline A.K. [=McDowell=] is a similar case. She has the body of a 10-year-old girl, but uses magic to become older and very buxom.
40	** Chisame, a fairly normal looking, geeky girl, who combines cosplay, TheGlassesGottaGo and computer graphics editing to make herself into famous web idol Chiu. Eventually she gets an artifact that allows her to do much the same process magically.
41	* Makoto in ''Manga/{{Nicoichi}}'' is much more attractive (and popular) in his [[WholesomeCrossdresser female persona]] than his normal self.
42	* ''Manga/OnePiece'': Carrot is a GenkiGirl rabbit Mink that loves adventure. When the full moon is out, she can activate her Sulong form, making her taller, makes her hair longer (and go from blonde to white), and makes her voice much deeper.
43	* In ''Manga/PsychicSquad'', there's a HospitalHottie who also happens to be a powerful [[PsychicPowers Esper]] with powers of illusion. It's eventually revealed that her perky-and-pretty appearance is ALSO an illusion, which she maintains whenever anyone's around - underneath it, she's got a face straight out of a ''Film/HammerHorror'' movie - think 'Frankenstein' more than 'Dracula'.
44	* Moka from ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'', when she transforms from Outer Moka into Inner Moka. This is especially evident in the anime where a lot of the transformation sequence is just her, um, various assets almost doubling in size. Also, Inner Moka's voice is deeper and much more sultry than Outer's. Possibly a bit subverted later on because [[spoiler:Inner Moka is actually the real personality and Outer is the alter ego created to tone down her powerful vampire aura.]]
45	* ''Manga/StoryOfADumbPrefectAndHighSchoolGirlWithInappropriateSkirtLength'': StudentCouncilPresident [[MsFanservice Yamato Nadeshiko]] is introduced dressed in a short skirt, baring her midriff, and [[LettingHerHairDown with her hair down]]. At the end of the chapter, she unfolds her skirt, braids up her hair, and puts her glasses back on for her normal look (though she's quite good-looking like that too). Vice President Kogori Kaoru [[LovesMyAlterEgo is attracted to this "gal version"]] but can't seem to see through her PaperThinDisguise.
46	* When shy Aimi Komori applies her magic eye shadow, she becomes the sexy, superpowered cat burglar Manga/ShadowLady.
47	* ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'': Sugou Nobuyuki seems to be going for this with his Oberon avatar, given its long blond hair, fancy clothes, and [[TheGlassesGottaGo lack of glasses]]. However, his [[FacialDialogue facial expressions]] and body language ruin the effect.
48	* ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'': [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Really 20,000 Years Old]] Washu Hakubi normally looks like a young teenager, and she pulls a fast one on Tenchi by unexpectedly transforming into her adult form to seduce him which is, needless to say, much more well endowed. The "alter ego" is her true form, but she's spent most of life in the younger form because she long ago decided that adult society was just too screwed up for her to want any part of.
49	* ''Manga/TenjouTenge'' has Maya Natsume, who actually inverts this trope. Her real form is that of a voluptuous young woman, but she spends most of her time in the form of a young girl, making most people think it is her regular form.
50	-->"Bob? If that weird little girl suddenly turns into the kind of stacked voluptuous chick you’d see working in a sketchy nightclub, what should I do?"
51	* Natsuki from ''Anime/UtaNoPrincesama'' may count. He turns into [[ADarkerMe Satsuki]] when he takes off his glasses.
52	* Yugi in ''Anime/YuGiOh'' is a dorky cute boy, but the [[SuperPoweredAlterEgo spirit of the puzzle]] is a full out {{bishonen}}, who is far more successful at attracting [[LovesMyAlterEgo Tea's attention]] than Yugi. Lampshaded, of course, in ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' (see the current page quote, above).
53	* In ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', Koenma (usually in the form of an infant with a pacifier) is able to take on an older, more {{Bishounen}} appearance. Admittedly, an older more bishounen appearance with a pacifier, but its the thought that counts.
54	[[/folder]]
55
56	[[folder:Comic Books]]
57	* Creator/DCComics character Looker was a frumpy librarian until she got her powers, and then she could turn into a redheaded hottie. Eventually, though, after she became a vampire, the sexy became her ShapeshifterModeLock.
58	* {{Inverted\|Trope}} with Big Bertha of the ComicBook/GreatLakesAvengers. Her superheroine form is immensely fat, while her regular form is the most popular swimsuit model in Wisconsin. ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} prefers her as Big Bertha... but then, he's Deadpool. As of the team's [[Comicbook/MarvelNow2016 2016 series]] either her civilian form is fat too or she gave up transforming on some level, as she's now [[BigBeautifulWoman a plus-sized model]].
59	* A RunningGag in the French comic ''{{ComicBook/Melusine}}'' is that her werewolf boyfriend always runs away before sunrise (interrupting the romantic moment and leaving her confused) because it turns out his human form is a textbook specimen of the GeekPhysique (and he's all too aware of it: every such strip ends with him scrawny and bespectacled saying "Can't let her see me like this").
60	* In ''ComicBook/{{Satanik}}'', the entire reason Marnie Bannister started delving into alchemy was to become beautiful and then throw away her old life.
61	* ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'':
62	** Billy Batson is an average child, but his alter-ego Captain Marvel is an attractive, muscular man. This is explained in comics set in the future that show that Captain Marvel is what he looks like as an adult. Utilized in the ''ComicBook/BillyBatsonAndTheMagicOfShazam'' continuity, where Billy is stuck in a LovesMyAlterEgo situation with a ComicBook/LoisLane {{Expy}}.
63	** Likewise with his twin sister Mary Batson, and her alter-ego Mary Marvel.
64	* Compare mousy Jennifer Walters to the AmazonianBeauty [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Green-Skinned Babe]] that is the ComicBook/SheHulk.
65	* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'':
66	** Villain Stunner was an overweight and lonely receptionist who gained super strength and great beauty through virtual reality technology.
67	** Black Cat considered Spider-Man himself to be this, as she tried very hard to get romantic with him, but was not remotely attracted to Peter Parker, and consequently the big moment where he unmasked himself to her as a sign of commitment ended with her asking him to put his mask back on. In the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel version she actually threw up, though this was just the {{Squick}} factor of realizing how young he was.
68	* ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' cohabits the DC universe with a version of herself from an AlternateUniverse called ''ComicBook/PowerGirl'', who is about ten or fifteen years older and wears a different costume. Technically, they're the same person (Kara Zor-El of Krypton), but the latter is ''much'' bustier and prone to being treated as MsFanservice than her younger counterpart.
69	* ComicBook/{{Superman}} sometimes falls into this, particularly in the earlier ages, with his Clark Kent persona wearing mild-mannered clothing, general weak posture, and self-effacing personality, contrasting Superman's tight clothing, powerful stance, and determined attitudes.
70	* The titular ''Comicbook/{{WITCH}}'' are fairly average (albeit skinny) teenagers in their normal form. When transformed however, they are changed to look much more... adult. Lampshaded on more than one occasion.
71	%%* Both Prime and Elven from ''ComicBook/TheUltraverse''.
72	[[/folder]]
73
74	[[folder:Fan Works]]
75	* Mare Do Well in ''Fanfic/TheGamesWePlayFriendshipIsMagic'' exploits this against Rainbow Dash, using the fact that the persona is essentially a blank template upon which she can project whatever personality she likes to entice Rainbow into an actual relationship. The trouble is, Rainbow has no idea ''whose'' alter ego it actually is, which leads to many complications.
76	* Same as in the source material, ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'', heroes wielding a Miraculous transform into the person they want most to be in "The Legend of Royal Blue and La Sylphide." Very little about Emilie changes as La Sylphide, aside from her hair growing longer and gaining a light purple ombré, but skinny, bespectacled and grouchy Gabriel becomes the handsome, well-built, and utterly suave Royal Blue. This is {{Deconstructed\|Trope}} later on, as comparing himself to Royal Blue further adds to Gabriel's crippling insecurity.
77	* Upon ''Fanfic/TheSecretReturnOfAlexMack'', Alex sets out to establish a proper secret identity, with a costume that puts as much distance as possible between "Alex Mack" and "Terawatt". As part of that, she wears a padded bra that takes her from a B cup to D, 5-inch heels that both conceal her height and basically force her to sashay in order to walk in a straight line, and much bolder lipstick and makeup. Her boyfriend is ''most'' impressed when he first sees her in it.
78	[[/folder]]
79
80	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
81	* ''Film/BatmanReturns'' puts this in play for Catwoman - instead of a confident and seductive professional thief, Selina Kyle is a mousy secretary for [[Creator/ChristopherWalken Max Schrek]], and only dons the black vinyl cowl for revenge after he pushes her out a window to her not-quite-death.
82	* Tyler Durden (Creator/BradPitt) in ''Film/FightClub'' is The Narrator's (Creator/EdwardNorton) more charismatic alter-ego. In his own words, he "look(s) like you want to look and fuck(s) like you want to fuck." Interestingly, since he only looks like Brad Pitt to the Narrator, the difference is entirely in his actions and attitude.
83	* Corrine in ''Film/TheInitiationOfSarah'' mostly appears as a beautiful blond young women in her 20s, while her true physical appearance is that of an wrinkled old hag with grey hair and black teeth.
84	* Stanley Ipkiss, from ''Film/TheMask'' film. Note that he's not more physically attractive (unless you're into that sort of thing), but more confident and impulsive (and gets {{reality warper}} powers), and consequently has more luck with his LoveInterest. As is often the {{Aesop}} with such tales, the Mask only highlights personality traits already present, and brings out the ones the wearer keeps inside. Stanley, by the end of the film, has ''become'' a more confident and assertive person, meaning he has no need for the Mask anymore to be attractive to his love interest.
85	* This was a main plot point in both versions of ''The Nutty Professor''. In both versions, the titular professor invents a way to change himself from a nerdy looking fellow in the [[Film/TheNuttyProfessor1963 original film]] (and a rather overweight guy in [[Film/TheNuttyProfessor1996 the remake]], as shown in the page image) into a smooth ladies man. The original even concluded with [[spoiler:the titular professor coming clean to a large group of people while he lets the formula wear off. There are no cuts, and both the professor and his alter ego were played by Jerry Lewis, so the transformation is almost entirely just Lewis ''changing his physical mannerisms'' and putting on a pair of glasses.]]
86	* Anne Bowman from ''Film/PsychoBeachParty'' (Chicklet's SplitPersonality) looks the exact same during her scenes but her confidence and behavior, using her body language, makes her seem sexier compared to Chicklet's shy and tomboyish nature.
87	* Probably inevitably, there have been at least two versions of ''Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde'' in which Jekyll changes [[GenderBender from man to]] [[AttractiveBentGender (gorgeous) woman]]. The older version, ''Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde'', was a Film/HammerHorror movie that dragged in Burke and Hare and UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper, to boot. The second was ''Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde'', which was more of a comedy, though Ms. Hyde was [[AlphaBitch still evil]].
88	** More conventionally, in The Two Faces of Doctor Jekyll, Jekyll is hirsute, unkempt, ill-mannered and shabbily dressed; Hyde is clean-shaven, dapper, debonair, and charming. But still a terrible person.
89	[[/folder]]
90
91	[[folder:Literature]]
92	* [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Black Hanekawa]] from ''Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}}''. Tsubasa Hanekawa is seen as an attractive girl, but "Black Hanekawa" flaunts about in delicate lingerie, shows off her fit, lithe body, has cat ears and speaks in "nyaa"s. She only appears when Tsubasa's stress peaks, the 'Cat' takes over and she rampage on the town to find relief.
93	* In ''God Stalk'', the first volume of P.C. Hodgell's ''Literature/ChroniclesOfTheKencyrath'', Jame's tavern dancer persona, the B'tyrr, is this. It's partly the rather revealing and sensual Senetha costume she wears, described as revealing "much skin in unexpected places", but also the dance, which is magically seductive. Since this is so not Jame's persona otherwise, people who've seen her as the dancer generally don't recognize her regular persona in public.
94	* Alex, in ''Literature/TheOtherKindOfRoommate'', comes off to Beth as only only slightly better than the serial killing, international crime lord she pictured. Her second impression of him is when [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Xander's in control]], who not only gets her flirting and giggle-snorting in the space of ten minutes, but has her noticeably disappointed when Alex comes back the next day.
95	* In ''Literature/SisterPelagia'' series by Boris Akunin, the eponymous protagonist often has to disguise herself as her own sister for the needs of her investigations, wearing alluring female clothing and even flirting with men.
96	[[/folder]]
97
98	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
99	* In the singing competition ''Series/AlterEgo2021'', many of the contestants take advantage of their customized avatars to make themselves more conventionally attractive than they look in real life. Particular mention goes to Wolfgang Champagne, a hunky werewolf who is actually a 60-year-old truck driver, and Safara, a sassy diva who's actually a shy, overweight young woman.
100	* The ''Series/AreYouAfraidOfTheDark'' episode "The Tale of the Dark Dragon" had two students taking a special serum that made them temporarily into their "true" selves (more good looking, confident etc). Their desperate repeat use of it to remain beautiful, however, gradually corrupts them [[EvilMakesYouUgly and the transformation]]. Once they were able to accept their deep psychological issues, the beautiful transformation became permanent.
101	* ''Series/FamilyMatters'': Supreme nerd Steve Urkel is in love with one of the other main characters, Laura, but his nerdiness and forwardness repulses her. He creates a machine utilizing a concoction he calls "Boss Sauce" to become Stefan Urquel, a sexier version of himself who was a smooth ladies' man and just as smart as Steve (though it was subtly implied Steve was just a little bit smarter). However, the first time usage also had Stefan be a world-class jerk. Later iterations had Steve perfect the formula so Stefan would retain Steve's positive qualities like his niceness and even attempted becoming Stefan permanently. Later Stefan became his own man when Steve cloned himself and Laura decided to use the clone to become Stefan. Stefan himself addresses Steve as "the man who created him." (Stefan is essentially Jaleel White, Urkel's actor, being himself)
102	* ''Series/Girls5eva'': Invoked and parodied. After Dawn feels rattled knowing her husband is in the audience, Summer urges her to come up with a fierce alter ego in the vein of [[Music/{{Beyonce}} Sasha Fierce]] and [[Music/NickiMinaj Roman Zolanski]]. Dawn comes up with "Fledge Mulholland", a confident and striking woman with a lurid backstory, and it largely works even if everyone agrees her name is ridiculous.
103	* Candice from ''{{Series/Heroes}}'' casts illusions of her appearance (similar to Shapeshifting, but her shape doesn't really shift it just looks like it). She usually appears as a hot chick, but her real appearance is a lumpy, acne covered mess named Betty.
104	* ''Series/{{Jekyll}}'': Most people seem to consider Tom Jackman's alter-ego Mr. Hyde to be considerably sexier than Jackman, with even two lesbian characters agreeing that he's hot. Katherine Reimer (Jackman and Hyde's assistant) is seemingly the only person who considers Jackman better looking than Hyde.
105	* In ''La Fea Mas Bella'', one of the many incarnations of ''Series/YoSoyBettyLaFea'' (''Series/UglyBetty'' in the US), it turns out that the protagonist's ugliness is completely fabricated. Her alter ego, Aurora, is a model for the very same magazine where she works.
106	* The main heroine of the now defunct American soap opera ''Series/OneLifeToLive'', Victoria Lord, had DID, but her most recurring personality was Niki Smith, who was more sexual and less uptight in behavior and appearance, but DependingOnTheWriter was also self-destructive and sociopathic.
107	* Inverted with Dwayne Dibbley on ''Series/RedDwarf'', who is [[CoolCat The Cat]]'s ''dorkier'' alter ego: a clumsy, badly-dressed, bucktoothed nerd with a literal pudding bowl haircut. He first appeared in "Back to Reality" [[spoiler:as the man The Cat hallucinates being in "reality"]]; the writers worked him into the series a few more times, including as an impromptu disguise.
108	* In ''Series/SabaDoll'', middle-aged teacher Shijimi Usa uses makeup and cute clothes to transform herself into 17-year-old national IdolSinger Mayu Watanabe.
109	* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "Mudd's Women", Mudd has pills that he claims makes a woman more attractive. [[spoiler:It was eventually revealed that a placebo produced the same results, with the aesop being that attitude and confidence is what makes a woman attractive. Of course, given that they clearly showed women physically changing as a result of the pill rather than just acting differently, it was something of a BrokenAesop.]]
110	* ''[[Series/WonderWoman1975 Wonder Woman]]'': In the World War II era, Wonder Woman went to great lengths to make her SecretIdentity, Diana Prince as mousy and unglamorous as it is reasonably possible.
111	[[/folder]]
112
113	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
114	* ''TabletopGame/PrincessTheHopeful'': Since a Princess's Transformed self is explicitly an idealized version of herself, this is actually very common. Especially for Princesses of Mirrors, whose philosophy revolves around vanity and narcissism (and conveniently have the ability to remain Transformed indefinitely).
115	[[/folder]]
116
117	[[folder:Video Games]]
118	* ''VideoGame/ArTonelicoQogaKnellOfArCiel'':
119	** Playable Reyvateils have multiple personas, some of which are older and sexier than the main teenaged ones.
120	** A character named Mute is a [[AmazonianBeauty hyper-masculine woman]]. She has an alternate TokenMiniMoe form, where she suddenly becomes a lot less aggressive and arguably cuter.
121	* ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvoltSeries'':
122	** In ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt'', Joule's powers manifest into an EnergyBeing known as Lumen, the Muse (Cyber Diva in Japan). Joule is a 13-year-old girl, while Lumen is probably what she'd look like when she's 4 years older, mixing this with OlderAlterEgo. The two of them were actually compared to each other by Gunvolt and their friend Zeno (who's a fan of Lumen back when she was still a celebrity) and the latter explicitly states that he "likes the parts of [Lumen] that are all grown-up and bouncy."
123	** ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt2'' reveals that [[spoiler:[[MasterOfIllusion Zonda's]]]] true form is that of [[spoiler:a young girl probably no older than Joule. Her male and female forms that she uses in her boss battle and were originally presumed to be her true form, on the other hand, are MrFanservice and MsFanservice respectively as they look like they're in their late teens to early twenties and represent the sin of {{Lust}}]].
124	** ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt3'' brings another case: [[spoiler:One member of the antagonistic ATEMS knights, Layla, is an EvilCounterpart to the above-mentioned Joule: A young, unremarkable girl who can create a Muse-like DigitalAvatar names Luxia who is curvier and dressed in a revealing BedlahBabe attire.]]
125	* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
126	** Cloud's 'ex-SOLDIER' personality in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' is a cool, hypercompetent, swashbuckling NinetiesAntiHero [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys who is irresistible to women]] and [[EvenTheGuysWantHim men]] - even though he's also a total jerk. His original personality is that of the unpopular town dork, and quite hesitant and awkward.
127	** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2'', it's implied that [[spoiler:Chocolina]] is actually this to [[spoiler:Dajh's Chocobo chick]]. This is later [[spoiler:confirmed]] in Sazh's DLC story. [[spoiler:As it turns out, she got caught in the distortion just like he did, and wanted to help the others just like they always helped her, so Etro gave her the form of an attractive woman and the ability to be everywhere at once]].
128	* The ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngelII'' trilogy introduces Kahlua, a mage with straight blonde hair and an ability to transform into the more assertive purple-haired Tequila, who is notably more busty to the point Kahlua's jacket opens to accomodate the change in bust size.
129	* ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'': The Protagonist normally presents himself as a mild mannered high school student with dorky glasses, but becomes a suave GentlemanThief during his illicit activities to reform corrupt members of society.
130	[[/folder]]
131
132	[[folder:Visual Novels]]
133	* While the protagonist of ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework'' is sleeping in the sauna of a ski lodge, he dreams that Dennis is in charge of the place (the girls even call him "Master"). Dennis is much taller in the nightmare than in real life, not to mention more commanding.
134	[[/folder]]
135
136	[[folder:Web Comics]]
137	* In ''Webcomic/BusterWildeWeerwolf'', Bernard the human has only one known ex-wife while Buster, his werewolf alter ego, has plenty of people's phone numbers and is able to hook up with almost any man in just a night.
138	* Played with in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius''. Agatha [[GrandTheftMe unwillingly shares her brain]] with her mother, the BigBad of the series. Although they obviously share the same body and therefore don't change physical appearance, it's ''very'' obvious when it's Lucrezia in charge, and when it's Agatha. The first thing Lucrezia did was [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060208#.VvVr3-KLTIU strip down to her underwear]] and flirt with the son of one of her devoted followers, whereas when Agatha [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20051128#.VvVtI-KLTIU wakes up strapped to an operating table in her underwear]], the first thing she demands is her clothes. It's got to the point where her love interests can tell when Lucrezia is influencing Agatha's actions, which happens when she's tired or stressed, just because [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20101129#.VvVt9OKLTIU she flirts with them more]].
139	* In ''Webcomic/MobPsycho100'', Mob's [[SuperMode 100% Courage explosion]] apparently comes with a [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/mob-psycho-100/images/2/25/Courage.gif/ sparkly-eyed shoujo makeover]], much to Dimple's confusion.
140	[[/folder]]
141
142	[[folder:Western Animation]]
143	* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' Minerva Mink had a nerdy wolf AbhorrentAdmirer who [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent turned sexy under a full moon]].
144	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' had Hoagie gets turned into a cool teenager, whom he dubs "Hank", uses his new persona to date [[TeensAreMonsters Cree]].
145	* Bluster Kong in the CG ''WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry'' cartoon accidentally created a Nutty Professor type potion in one episode. It turned him from a sniveling, cowardly, balding ape into a smooth talking ladies' gorilla called Leo Luster. Candy Kong forgets about her date with DK and falls for him instantly. His coolness is so potent that he can use it to hypnotize King K. Rool and his goons into giving back the Crystal Coconut willingly. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSHX1BvmN_4 And he does it all through a catchy musical number!]]
146	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'': Jerrica Benton is an attractive young woman in her own right, however her alter ego Jem is a knockout who [[DudeMagnet draws men like bees to honey]]. Part of it is due to the clothes Jem wears compared to Jerrica while another part is how Jem acts more open and flamboyant than Jerrica. Jerrica's [[ChildhoodFriendRomance long-time crush]] Rio likes both [[TwoPersonLoveTriangle Jem and Jerrica]]. Season 3 introduced Riot, who [[LovesMyAlterEgo loves Jem]] but ignores Jerrica.
147	* ''WesternAnimation/TheMask'':
148	** The Mask, unlike Stanley, is confident, wears a nice suit and is very easy looking but also like Stanley he is a {{Nice Guy}} and is a genuine hero who cares about his friends and will protect the people who live in Edge City despite they can annoy him at times.
