* In one ''Webcomic/{{Nodwick}}'' comic, the adventurers find a young girl on her own in the woods. [[WrongGenreSavvy They assume that she's a shapeshifted monster or deity, and she agrees to let them live if they leave their valuables as an offering. Once they've fled, her parents arrive to collect the loot.]]

* ''Manga/OnePiece [[Anime/OnePieceFilmZ Film Z]]'': While Nami taking advantage of her cuteness to get what she wants isn't anything new, in this movie she also takes advantage of the fact that [[FountainOfYouth she was turned into a child]] to get information about Z from a bunch of Marines.

* ''FanFic/TheKarmaOfLies'' plays Lila Rossi as one. Her [[CelebrityLie celebrity lies]] are mostly character tests to see who's gullible enough to take them at face value (and is thus an easy mark), and who needs to be either [[KnowWhenToFoldThem avoided altogether]] or fed more specific and subtle lies. She's determined that most of her classmates are in the 'mark' category, Marinette is a 'don't bother' (except in trying to discredit her), and that Adrien won't be fooled by her standard deceptions, but can be persuaded to help her by exploiting his fear of rocking the boat and belief that everything will work itself out.

* The eponymous Markie, from Robert Aspirin's novel ''[[Literature/MythAdventures Little Myth Marker]]'', is a combination of this and TheMole. She looks like an 8-year-old girl, but [[spoiler:is the most dangerous "character assassin" in the trade. Also a subversion, since she's actually an adult woman from the dimension of [[IncrediblyLamePun Cupy]], where it's about average to grow to the size of a human child.]]
* Roxanne Thorburn from ''{{Literature/Pact}}'' is this: She's twelve, still cute as a button, for all her teenage years are swiftly approaching... and not above using {{Gaslighting}}, [[ConsummateLiar lying]], occasional theft and [[ManipulativeBastard general, all-purpose manipulation]] to get what she wants or to get others into trouble, the little sociopath. Her older half-sister, [[{{Delinquents}} Ellie]], might well have had a shot at this when she was younger, but Roxanne is outright better at covering her [[CreepyChild creepy]] up with the cute and getting away with it: not for her the lengthy juvie rap sheet of her hair-trigger sister. Well, she gets away with it unless you're family of the same generation as her, of course. Most with a brain cell working know. Even if not all the adults or those outside family have twigged.

* ''Literature/VeronicsMars: The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line'': [[spoiler:The second missing girl, Aurora, who's also Veronica's step-sister, turns out to be a ruthless example of one: having been her Dad's accomplice for most of her childhood, she's got no compunctions about faking her own copycat abduction, even though it considerably slows down the search for the first victim, who really is missing.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'':

* Liliruca Arde in ''LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon''. She joins adventure groups to steal equipment from her teammates, which she then sells off for money.

* A gender-inverted example. The first scene in ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'' shows the film's protagonist, Hiro, shyly walking into a (highly illegal) bot fight and asking if he can try to fight the undefeated robot, while holding out one of the saddest excuses of a robot possible along with a crumpled up ball of betting money. After getting absolutely crushed in the first round, he asks to try again, offering a tidy, folded wad of cash. He sits down, gets his bot ready to fight... and reveals that the bot is ''much'' more deadly than anticipated, ''demolishing'' his opponent's bot.
--> '''Hiro''': Megabot... *pulls open his remote, making it much more complex* ''destroy.''

* It looks like Hitgirl does this in the trailers for the ''Film/KickAss'' movie when she dresses up as a Catholic schoolgirl and stands outside the door of the baddies' place. In the film, it quickly becomes [[TykeBomb Little Miss Slaughter Everyone in the Room]].

* In ''Film/LogansRun'', to steal a bracelet, a street urchin distracts 20-something Jessica-6 by calling her "a nice old lady." This in a society wherected people "renew" at 30.

* ''Manga/OnePiece [[Anime/OnePieceFilmZ Film Z]]'': [[spoiler: While Nami taking advantage of her cuteness to get what she wants isn't anything new, in this movie she also takes advantage of the fact that [[FountainOfYouth she was turned into a child]] to get information about Z from a bunch of Marines.]]

* One episode of ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' has Dennis mentoring one of these in a water park, with the two successfully conning several people out of money and possessions. The girl eventually becomes a BastardUnderstudy who manages to con Dennis himself out of all of their loot.

* Angie is a pickpocket before Mikey discovers her in ''Film/LifeWithMickey''.

* Exaggerated by Little Noi from ''WesternAnimation/RayaAndTheLastDragon'', a literal "Con Baby" who uses her cuteness to run scrams, including on Raya herself.

[[folder: Fanfic]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Toph and Katara (12 and 14, respectively) attempt this, as part of Katara's plan to show that she's not as much a stick-in-the-mud as others view her. The plan backfires, however, and they get captured to serve [[spoiler:as bait to lure in Aang.]]

* ''VideoGame/Borderlands'':
