Cutting some more examples that are under suspicion of {{shoehorning}}:

* Bella of \'\'Literature/{{Twilight}}\'\' is described as an old soul because she\'s more responsible than her mom and she keeps to herself. When she found out she had conceived she was determined to carry the child despite the danger the pregnancy could bring her. Rosalie and Esme were the two women who were on her side on this because they understood Bella\'s desire to have children. Esme has always had strong maternal instincts that she shows through kindness to her surrogate children and the family\'s allies. Rosalie is described as always having been beautifully elegant and proud of it but she would trade her beauty for the chance to grow older and become a mother.
Reason: The example mentions three female characters, but it is not clear at all how the fit the \"maiden, mother, crone\" pattern and it\'s not even clear how the three form a distinct group.

* The [[GirlsLove yuri]] VisualNovel \'\'VisualNovel/AkaiIto\'\' mixes this with some other stuff. As seen from the viewpoint of the protagonist, Kei:
** Crone: [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Sakuya]] and [[ManipulativeBastard Nozomi]]
** Mother: [[BigDamnHeroes Yumei]] and [[AncientTradition Sakuya]]
** Soulmate: Uzuki and [[CoolBigSis Yumei]]([[OedipusComplex !]])
** Daughter: [[StoicWoobie Tsudura]] and [[SaveTheVillain Nozomi]]
** Also, Kei herself can fit into any of the above role, depending on the route:
*** Sakuya: Daughter [[spoiler:and at one of the ending where she\'s given EmergencyTransformation to save her life, she becomes the Crone.]]
*** Uzuki: Companion
*** Tsudura: Mother
*** Yumei: [[OedipusComplex Daughter and Companion]]
*** Nozomi: Mother
Reason: Multiple characters assigned to the same role, the same role assigned to multiple characters, introduces new roles (\"soulmate\", \"daughter\", \"companion\") which are not even mentioned in the trope description. Five characters assigned to every \"trio\".

* In the original \'\'WesternAnimation/{{My Little Pony|AndFriends}}\'\', the witch Hydia and her daughters inverted this trope. Reeka has aspects of all three types, Hydia is The Crone and the more manipulating aspects of The Mother, and Draggle is The Maiden.
Reason: So one character gets all three roles, another one two ... probably it just isn\'t this trope, \"inverted\" or not.
