Most common in romantic plays and musicals (and practically a requirement of any medieval romantic comedy) but the dynamic turns up in other mediums and genres too so they don't always have to be involved in a love story. If the characters sing, The Maid's MediaNotes/{{voice type|s}} is either Mezzo or Alto, while The Maiden is a Soprano (usually an InnocentSoprano). See also MatronChaperone.

** ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'': In perhaps the most straightforward example of all, Lady Kluck is the Maid to Maid Marian's Maiden. She explicitly describes herself as Marian's lady-in-waiting.

** ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'': In perhaps the most straightforward example of all, Lady Kluck is has it in her job description (as lady-in-waiting) to be the matronly Maid to Maid Marian's Maiden. She explicitly describes herself as Marian's lady-in-waiting.Maiden. Kluck is a gently supportive ShipperOnDeck for Marian and Robin, with occasional MamaBear moments. Marian almost never appears without her; the one time she's alone with someone else, it is Robin himself.
