Only beautiful slave girls that are [[BornIntoSlavery born slaves]] or enslaved before puberty should be listed as examples. Post-puberty examples can go into MadeASlave. Often overlaps with SexSlave.

* Lilia from ''Film/TheTenCommandments'' by virtue of being a Hebrew at the time her people were enslaved by the Egyptians and too beautiful for her own good. At first, she is a menial servant tasked with serving water, her beauty ends up attracting two {{AbhorrentAdmirer}}s at different times, who try to make her their own concubine.

* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', [[PlayerCharacter Hawke]] encounters an elven slave girl as part of the personal quest chain for party member Fenris, himself an escaped slave. After killing her mage master, you have the option to either let her go, take her as a slave yourself, or free her and offer her a job at your estate.

* [[http://vallejo.ural.net/1978/show.php?020 Haesal the Slave]] by Creator/BorisVallejo. (Warning, ''really'' NSFW.)

* In ''Film/SleepyHollow'' the Van Tassel's serving girl Sara is a pretty young woman who it turns out was caught having a tryst with the Reverend.

* In ''ComicBook/Superboy1994'' Kon-El stumbles into an entire harem of scantily-clad extraterrestrial slave girls while trying to find a way to free the slaves on Kossak's ship.

This trope has an obvious dark side. Many of these girls are SoBeautifulItsACurse, forced into wearing revealing clothing and often raped by their masters. Because of this, it's more likely to be the setup to a RescueRomance. There is also more likely to be emphasis on the girl's purity as well, and the idea that goodness and beauty can be found anywhere, not just in prosperity.

'''Peridot:''' Listen to you? ''[to Steven]'' Did you teach her to talk like this? ''[...]'' She's a ''Pearl''. She's a made-to-order servant just like the hundreds of other [[ServantRace Pearls]] being flaunted around back on Homeworld. ''[...]'' And she looks like a fancy one, too.

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Missandei is played by Creator/NathalieEmmanuel, who is ''very'' beautiful. In her first appearance, she serves as an interpreter for her master, Kraznys mo Nakloz, upon his first meeting with Daenerys. She later reveals that she speaks several languages and was primarily an interpreter, but it's implied that she may have served...''other'' duties as well during her years in servitude.

* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', [[PlayerCharacter Hawke]] encounters an elven slave girl as part of the personal question chain for party member Fenris, himself an escaped slave. After killing her mage master, you have the option to either let her go, take her as a slave yourself, or free her and offer her a job at your estate.

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Missandei is played by Creator/NathalieEmmanuel, who is ''very'' beautiful.

* In ''Literature/{{Masques}}'', the spy Aralorn changes place with a beautiful slave girl, (as a shapechanger, she can do that easily) to infiltrate a palace. It is strongly implied that the girl was spared a very horrible fate. [[spoiler:Aralorn, being the hero, escapes in time to avoid AFateWorseThanDeath.]]

* Haydee in ''Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo'', who was enslaved as a child.
* Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian has rescued his share of these:
** Olivia from ''Literature/IronShadowsInTheMoon'', for example, was an Ophirean princess sold by her parents for refusing to marry a prince of Koth, and eventually fell into the hands of the cruel Shah Amurath, who mistreated her horribly before she escaped the palace and was rescued by Conan after the Shah himself tracked her down.
** Octavia in ''Literature/TheDevilInIron'' was another slave girl that her masters forced her to seduce Conan and lead them to his doom, but she ends up being saved by him.
** Zenobia from ''Literature/TheHourOfTheDragon'' is probably the biggest example, was originally an Nemedian concubine (albeit one that was never touched due to the king having so many) that helped Conan flee from prison and he later marries her at the end of the book, making her his queen.
* Grumio, the slave cook from the ''Literature/CambridgeLatinCourse'', has quite an eye for the slave-girls who apparently "please him" very much.
* [[DependingOnTheWriter In many live adaptations]] (mostly modern ones), [[GuileHero Morgiana]] from ''Literature/AliBabaAndTheFortyThieves'' is depicted as such. She's a serving girl hired after Ali Baba comes into money, and Ali ends up marrying her after she saves him from the titular thieves. A few adaptations imply she's an in-universe AuthorAvatar for the storyteller in the FramingDevice Scheherezade. [[AuthorAppeal Make of that what you will]].
* The only thing more common than beautiful Princesses on Literature/{{Barsoom}} is beautiful slave girls. The most notable of these is Tavia in ''A Fighting Man of Mars'' who rescues herself from concubinage to the BigBad and spends the rest of the book rescuing and being rescued by the clueless hero.
* In ''Literature/TheRedTent'', Esau has a few of these, in addition to three wives. One of these slave girls is pregnant with his child, and if she gives birth to a boy, then she will go from being an ordinary slave to a "lesser wife" or concubine.

* ''Histoire d'une Grecque moderne'' by Abbé Prévost features an concubine of [[GorgeousGreek Greek/Byzantine background]] named Zara who belongs to an Ottoman pasha's harem and was brought up since she was child. She enchants the main protagonist, an French diplomat, into freeing her and she reclaims her heritage by [[MeaningfulName renaming]] herself Théophé.
* Brionwy in ''Literature/NightWorld'' short story "Brionwy's Lullaby" was a concubine in a [[VampireMonarch vampire overlord's]] harem during a BadFuture timeline. She is said to have been enslaved when she was 12 years-old and became very beautiful, though she hasn't caught her master's attention yet to her relief. [[spoiler:The story ends on a cliffhanger with her master choosing her as his new favorite]].

* The titular character of ''Theatre/{{Aida}}'', an Ethiopian slave brought to Egypt and forced to work for the princess. Unfortunately, the guy the princess likes falls for Aida instead.

* [[CircassianBeauty Circassian girls]] were a staple of Western {{Orientalism}} since they were considered extremely desirable and often found themselves sold to Turkish seraglios or Persian harems. The word "Circassian" itself was often synonymous with "concubine".

* Eliza in ''Literature/TheBaroqueCycle'' is an harem girl rescued by the heroes from being executed by Turkish soldiers. According to her backstory, she was less than 10-years old when enslaved by by pirates alongside her mother and was basically raised in the harem. Even though she is an free woman when accompanying the heroes, her past still weights heavily on her and [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil slavery is basically her Berserk Button]].
* Petra bint Miden in ''Literature/{{Caliphate}}'' was forced into slavery when she was a little girl to serve as a companion to a merchant's daughter... Then she gets sold to an brothel after being [[DefiledForever violated by her master's son]] and gets repeatedly abused in the establishment, but grows up into a beautiful young woman.

** Even more ironically, the whole idea of the females being marketed as slaves was originally the Twi'leks' idea, and the females were ''in favor'' of it. They thought that if they did it long enough, they could earn enough money to start earning it a more honest way. Sadly, after several centuries, the plan hasn't seemed to work; more than likely, it's given them a bad reputation. In fact, a lot of male Twi'leks turn out to be crooks who run the slave trade, Bib Fortuna being one of the most notorious examples. Despite this females sometimes manage to become either Jedi or Sith.

* Emperor Nero had a mistress one while he was married to Octavia; after divorcing her, Nero married the slave girl.

* ''Series/BabylonFive'': The first season introduces Adira Tyree, a Centauri dancer and LoveInterest to Londo who is actually a slave to a man named Trakis, who is using her to get close to Londo to get ahold of his [[{{Blackmail}} Purple Files]]. Despite this Londo is taken with her enough that she's murdered simply as a BatmanGambit to [[[[FalseFlagOperation manipulate Londo into turning against the man]] he wrongly believes killed her.

* ''Series/BabylonFive'': The first season introduces Adira Tyree, a Centauri dancer and LoveInterest to Londo who is actually a slave to a man named Trakis, who is using her to get close to Londo to get ahold of his [[{{Blackmail}} Purple Files]].

* ''Series/{{Rome}}''. Titus Pullo is instantly smitten with Germanic slave girl Eirene and ends up marrying her (albeit after some rough patches like [[CrazyJealousGuy murdering her fiance in front of her]]). While beautiful, unlike other examples of this trope she is not played for {{fanservice}}.
