** Angry variant: While Wario's main characteristic is his greed, Waluigi used to be defined primarily by his hatred of Luigi. Later games have given him an trickster and bitter cheater personality, but only once has he featured without Wario (''VideoGame/MarioTennis: Power Tour'') and is never not seen competing with Luigi. He has never appeared in his own (official) game. He was created for ''Mario Tennis'' and has since only appeared in the [[GoKartingWithBowser multi-player party and sports games]]. He's had a cameo in the Paper Mario and a loose reference in ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'', but that's about it. After a while, Waluigi became defined by his crazy and jerkish behaviour and self-pity.

* Mirin and Subaru from ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' pretty much exclusively exist to be Hayasaka's {{Gyaru|Girl}} friends. The closest they get to developing as characters beyond that is a single chapter in the spin-off implying that Mirin has an offscreen friendship with Erika.

*''Anime/{{Raideen}}'': Mari Sakurano was this at first. Her backstory and characterization centers initially around Akira, mainly that she manages his soccer team and drives a similar vehicle, as well as her terrible ClingyJealousGirl tendencies. However, she gets an arc of her own when she joins the Copelander Corps, averting SatelliteLoveInterest.

** [[TomboyPrincess Princess Daisy]] first started out as being mostly defined as being Peach's gal pal and a [[ImpliedLoveInterest possible love interest]] to Luigi. After a while, she did get a more energetic personality, her own flower motif, and a louder voice to go with during the UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube games, which is an improvement from her first few playable appearances, where there was little to really differentiate her from Peach. In later games such as ''VideoGame/MarioTennis: Ultra Smash'' and ''VideoGame/MarioStrikers Charged'', she doesn't even share the same gameplay type and statistics as Peach, and is fully playable without Peach's involvement, and the two don't even show up in the same events in the 3DS version of ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''.

* ''Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond'': As the show's original intro explained, unlike most other sitcoms at the time, the show is not about the kids. Ally and the twins are secondary characters with no real defined personalities or traits of their own aside from being Ray and Debra's occasionally troublesome children. Their main purpose in the series is [[SmallRoleBigImpact to provide situations for the adults in their family to react to without taking a prominent position in the plot themselves]].

It becomes noticeable when both times Chase is eliminated, Emma gets eliminated shortly afterward because she has no friends or allies to call back on, especially since nobody respects her after witnessing her RelationshipRevolvingDoor.

* Bulat in ''Manga/AkameGaKill'', despite his [[DefectorFromDecadence established backstory]], his Imperial Arm [[InstantArmor Incursio]], and his status as one of the strongest fighters in Night Raid; is pretty much defined entirely by his relationship and interactions with [[TheHero Tatsumi]] [[spoiler:before he dies early in the story, the second member of Night Raid to do so after Sheele's death established AnyoneCanDie]]. Aside from constantly hitting on Tatsumi to the point of RunningGag, he also acts as a BigBrotherMentor to him, and even [[spoiler:hands him Incursio before [[MentorOccupationalHazard succumbing to death via Liver's poison]]]]. In addition, Bulat is ''rarely'' ever shown interacting with other Night Raid members despite being a senior member, and only does so if Tatsumi is involved somehow. Finally, unlike Sheele, who has a HappyFlashback of her time with Night Raid [[spoiler:right before her death]], Bulat never experiences anything like that. [[spoiler:His final thoughts are only on Tatsumi, no one else.]] Take Tatsumi out of the equation, he's reduced to a background character who happens to be a really strong (gay) guy.
