* In ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', Jazz defiantly takes after her mother. Even when she won't admit it ''and'' when Jack Fenton is more bumbling than mad.

When the MadScientist is a good guy, the Daughter is not nearly so cloistered, although she is still a prime candidate as a love interest. Sometimes she ends up TheHeart or {{The Smart G|uy}}irl in a FiveManBand when a team relies on the Scientist for their {{Phlebotinum}}. This latter version is more common nowadays.

* Saiko Waitazuki from ''Anime/SupercarGattiger'', though her father isn't mad, but serves as the team's lead scientist. She, of course, ends up as TheChick in their FiveManBand.

* For ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'': We have the cutest daughters, Margo, Edith, and Agnes.

* ''Film/Blade1998''. One of the vampire scions helps bring down her house.

* Though a departure from her portrayal in the comics, Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris is made into something of a Mad Scientist's beautiful daughter in ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009''. She, unlike her siblings, is intentionally kept innocent and naive of the reality of the society her father (Magneto) created on Genosha. And in one episode she falls for [[Characters/MarvelComicsGambit Gambit]] who, ''[[AntiHero while his status as a hero may be suspect]]'', is the enemy of her father (in that ''[[GentlemanThief he plans to steal from him]]''.)

** [[PlayingWithATrope Played straighter]] in later episodes, when she develops an interest in Major Monogram's son, (human) secret agent Monty Monogram. Not only does she never truly become evil, she joins the heroes and ultimately convinces her father to give up evil as well.
* Kitten from ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}'' may [[AmbiguouslyHuman not even truly have been human]], seeing as her father was Killer Moth, and her [[DaddysLittleVillain beauty was clearly only skin deep,]] but given the nature of Killer Moth's schemes, she technically qualifies.
* Subverted in the short-lived Creator/{{MTV}} cartoon ''WesternAnimation/SpyGroove'' with Sierra Nevada, the daughter of a mad robotics genius/casino owner. Turned out ''she'' was the mad genius; daddy was just a robot she built to draw attention away from her while she played this trope to the hilt to fool do-gooders.
* In ''[[Literature/InterviewingLeather Interviewing Trey]]'', the beautiful (to the point of actual paranormal charisma) Beguile is the daughter of the mad scientist Doctor Guile.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' [[spoiler:Asami Sato is a case where she didn't ''know'' she was the daughter of a mad scientist who hid behind the image of a successful business owner that secretly supplies weapons and MiniMecha to the [[MugglePower Equalists]]. Even if her father had a strong FreudianExcuse for doing so, she is not happy to discover this]].
** And [[spoiler: the leader of the Equalists, Amon/Noatak, was the TallDarkAndHandsome son of would-be mad dictator Yakone. Same goes to his younger brother, Tarrlok]].
* Farmer Brown from the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "Critters" can count as a Mad Scientist, seeing as he was using microbiology to create monstrous farm animals. And he did indeed have a beautiful daughter named Emmylou. She was also his enforcer, and was ''much'' stronger than her almost petite frame would appear, being more than a match for Batgirl. (She claimed it was due to beef steroids, clearly another of her dad's experiments.)

* Julie Kane in ''{{WesternAnimation/Motorcity}}.'' Abraham Kane's technically not a mad scientist, but she still fits the trope. She also kept it a secret, fearing her friends will think she's just like him.

* The ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'' series invokes this with Attea, daughter of Emperor Milleous. Her father has her carefully watched, but she [[spoiler:manages to betray him, fall for the hero (when he's the same species), and take over daddy's empire]] over the course of a [[TwoPartEpisode two-parter]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', Beth (the daughter of Rick and mother of Morty) is older than the typical example, but still qualifies. Much like Rick, she's smart, selfish, and an alcoholic, albeit to a lesser extent. She slips into the typical DaddysGirl, often giving Rick the benefit of the doubt and putting him ahead of other family members, but isn't above calling him out when his antics are particularly {{JustForFun/egregious}}.
* The TV movie ''WesternAnimation/GrooveSquad'' has the character, Star, who turns out to be the daughter to evil MadScientist, Dr. Nightingale. While he looks like a cartoony villain, Star is an attractive redhead who's more "high school evil" rather than "regular evil". Her mother is never seen, but Star probably got her looks from her.

* In the 1986 Ozploitation thriller ''The Big Hurt'', a woman enlists an IntrepidReporter to prove her research scientist father was murdered by a GovernmentConspiracy. [[spoiler:Turns out her father is very much alive and part of the conspiracy, to develop a MindControl drug, and she ends up killing him for real.]] Ironically the daughter has herself spent time in a mental institution, diagnosed as paranoid for insisting her father was murdered.

* In ''Film/TheKillerShrews'' well-intentioned scientist has created giant shrews on an island in an attempt to cure world hunger. The hero must rescue the scientist's beautiful daughter from the island.

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' has Penny Crygor, Mad Scientist's Beautiful ''Grand''daughter. Of course, she's just as crazy and intelligent as her grandfather, and given the [[{{Jerkass}} males]] of [[InterspeciesRomance the]] [[{{Nerd}} series]], is probably grateful for the lack of romance.

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'': [[spoiler:While downplayed in the "Mad Scientist" role, Season 10's Finale reveals that [[BigBad The Director]], Dr. Leonard Church: who had created the Freelancer Program purely to find a way to bring back his dead wife through fragmenting the "Smart"-Class AI known as Alpha[[note]]Which was created from his cloned brain.[[/note]] is actually the father of the Freelancer Programs' top agent: Carolina]].

** Change "scientist" to prosecutor, and "daughter" to "adopted son", and you get Miles Edgeworth, especially if you take into consideration the strong emotional bond between him and Phoenix.
** Franziska von Karma, Manfred von Karma's ''actual'' daughter, and while she holds to her father's perfectionist ways she's actually got some moral fiber to her. [[spoiler:In the third game she becomes an indispensable ally. Edgeworth needs to be a defense lawyer in Wright's place, but apparently he can't technically do that. After they make sure they get a judge who doesn't know Edgeworth, Franziska comes in to serve as prosecutor because she's the only one who won't rat him out.]]

** BackStory-only: Lucrezia Mongfish, daughter of evil MadScientist Lucifer Mongfish, and a MadScientist herself. She denounces her father's evil and marries TheHero MadScientist Bill Heterodyne. Since Bill, his brother Barry, and all of their TrueCompanions are immortalized in the "[[FamedInStory Heterodyne stories]]," she is regarded as a [[TropeCodifier Codifier for this trope]] in universe[[note]](Especially the part where the audience likes her more before the obligatory HighHeelFaceTurn.)[[/note]]. [[spoiler:She turns out to be more evil than her father, and is in fact the BigBad. [[EpilepticTrees Maybe]]]]. Her two sisters qualify for this as well. maybe.

* Though a departure from her portrayal in the comics, Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris is made into something of a Mad Scientist's beautiful daughter in ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009''. She, unlike her siblings, is intentionally kept innocent and naive of the reality of the society her father (Magneto) created on Genosha. And in one episode she falls for [[Characters/XMen90sMembers Gambit]] who, ''[[AntiHero while his status as a hero may be suspect]]'', is the enemy of her father (in that ''[[GentlemanThief he plans to steal from him]]''.)

* From Navajo tradition, there's the story of Deer Owner, a powerful [[EvilSorcerer sorcerer]] who hid away all the game animals so that none other than he could use them, and who had a beautiful daughter (who was also [[IncestIsRelative his wife]] and the source of his powers; Navajo sorcerers get [[{{Squick}} Squicky]]). The hero of the story eventually meets and befriends the young woman, and she helps him in overcoming her father, freeing the game animals for use by anyone.

* In the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/SpiderMan cancelled]] ''[[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Spider-Man 4]]'', Peter was going to end up in a DatingCatwoman relationship with [[Characters/BlackCatMarvel Felicia Hardy]], who in this continuity was also the daughter of the Vulture.

* Played with in ''Manga/MidoriDays'', where MadScientist Shiro Makinoha wants to capture Seiji and Midori so he can experiment on them, and his daughter Nao wants to stop Shiro since she is in love with ... [[SchoolgirlLesbians Midori]].

* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'' has Akira Mado, the stunning daughter of "Quinque Maniac" Kureo Mado. She shares her father's passion for Quinque, and works closely with the Research division in her spare time. She inherited her looks from her late mother, and becomes Amon's new partner and LoveInterest after her introduction.

** ComicBook/TaliaAlGhul, the daughter of ComicBook/RasAlGhul comics. Her loyalty to her father is... complicated. In the comics, it is usually unwavering. When she foils his [[spoiler: 'destroy the written word' scheme]], a lackey shoots her in the leg; the lackey is soon fed to the lions. In the video game, ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'', it's played darkly [[spoiler:[[InTheBack when he makes a move of threatening Batman with her life]] if he does not kill him]]. This results her in leaving him [[spoiler:after Batman saves her]].

* Since ComicBook/{{Magneto}} is also a scientist, the ComicBook/ScarletWitch and her (on and off, currently on) half-sister ComicBook/{{Polaris}} qualify. Wanda looks [[UncannyFamilyResemblance almost exactly like her mother]].

* Dr. Zabo/Mr. Hyde doesn't have much in the looks department (and his inside matches is outside), which is probably why he frequented prostitutes. His daughter, ComicBook/DaisyJohnson/Quake is consistently described as gorgeous, and is one of SHIELD's real lookers, and can't seem to do anything in civilian mode without someone hitting on her.

* In ''[[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/authors/grimms/113twokingschildren.html The Two Kings' Children]]'', the daughter advises the prince how to carry out her father's ImpossibleTask.

* ''Film/{{Blade}}''. One of the vampire scions helps bring down her house.

* In the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/SpiderMan cancelled]] ''[[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Spider-Man 4]]'', Peter was going to end up in a DatingCatwoman relationship with [[ComicBook/BlackCat Felicia Hardy]], who in this continuity was also the daughter of the Vulture.

* In ''Series/TheTwilightZone'' season two episode "The Lateness of the Hour", Jana is the pretty daughter of inventor Dr. William Loren, who has created an entire menagerie of [[RobotMaid robot servants]] to assist him and his wife, so much so that Jana is worried her parents are becoming overly-dependent on the robots. She yearns to see the world outside, but her father is overprotective and [[GildedCage won't let her leave the house]]. Of course, in a true ''Twilight Zone''-style twist, [[spoiler: Jana finds out that she is merely another robot creation of her father's, albeit the most humanistic one he has ever made]].

* From Myth/ClassicalMythology: Medea of "Jason and the Golden Fleece" fame -- she is the daughter of King Aeëtes who sets seemingly impossible tasks for TheHero Jason before he can have the fleece. Although Medea herself is evil and out to serve only her own interests; she eventually betrays Jason, too, although not before killing her own brother ''and'' her own children. However, she only killed her children intentionally if you rely on the [[Theatre/{{Medea}} Euripides version]] of the myth. Earlier versions had it either being an accident, or murder by ''other people''. She also only killed her brother to save Jason from her father. In fact, the only people she ''didn't'' kill for Jason, according to the earlier myths, were the princess of Corinth, whom Jason abandoned her for, and the King of Corinth, who died trying to save his daughter.
*** Even the version presented by Euripides assigns most of the actual blame for how things worked out to Jason's heroic flaw of ambition, and presents her desire to destroy the legacy that she'd lost everything to create for him (the fact that she did most of the work in her section of the Argonauts story is lampshaded thoroughly) is treated less as the sinister kind of evil and more the righteous rage of a betrayed demigod whose strained patience at being slowly discarded finally snapped.

** ''Thracia 776'' has Sara, who is the adorable-looking granddaughter of [[spoiler: the mad priest Manfloy]].
** ''Blazing Blade'' has ''both'' the Handsome Son (though "younger" than most, in a sense) and the Beautiful Daughter. [[spoiler: Ninian and Nils are the children of the BigBad of the game, the Dark Druid Nergal. ]]
*** Not to mention another beautiful -- okay, ''[[{{Moe}} cute]]'' -- daughter in Sonia's (adopted) child, Nino. [[spoiler:Sonia is actually one of Nergal's morphs]].

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'': [[spoiler:While downplayed in the "Mad Scientist" role, Season 10's Finale reveals that [[BigBad The Director]], Dr. Leonard Church: who had created the Freelancer Program purely to find a way to bring back his dead wife through fragmenting the "Smart"-Class AI known as Alpha[[note]]Which was created from his cloned brain.[[/note]] is actually the father of the Freelancer Programs' top agent: Carolina.]]

* Tabitha in ''Webcomic/FarOutThere'' is not only a [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1794321/page-566-just-keep-doing-what-youre-doing looker]], but followed her Daddy's footsteps into being a MadScientist herself.

* Though a departure from her portrayal in the comics, Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris is made into something of a Mad Scientist's beautiful daughter in ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009''. She, unlike her siblings, is intentionally kept innocent and naive of the reality of the society her father (Magneto) created on Genosha. And in one episode she falls for ComicBook/{{Gambit}} who, ''[[AntiHero while his status as a hero may be suspect]]'', is the enemy of her father (in that ''[[GentlemanThief he plans to steal from him]]''.)

* Kitten from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' may [[AmbiguouslyHuman not even truly have been human]], seeing as her father was Killer Moth, and her [[DaddysLittleVillain beauty was clearly only skin deep,]] but given the nature of Killer Moth's schemes, she technically qualifies.

* This one is debatable, as, at worst, Max Born - by his own admission - was more "amiably weird" than "Mad". But he could be very forgetful, and absolutely ''hated'' to work without a collaborator. He was also a fairly good looking, if a touch square jawed chap. But if I said that his ''granddaughter'' was Music/OliviaNewtonJohn, then you know why he's here. His two daughters, Irene (Olivia's mother) and Gritli were also said to be beautiful and talented.

* Since ComicBook/{{Magneto}} is also a scientist, the ComicBook/ScarletWitch and her (on and off, currently on) half-sister ComicBook/{{Polaris|MarvelComics}} qualify. Wanda looks [[UncannyFamilyResemblance almost exactly like her mother]].

* In the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/SpiderMan cancelled]] ''[[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Spider-Man 4]]'', Peter was going to end up in a DatingCatwoman relationship [[ComicBook/BlackCat Felicia Hardy]], who in this continuity was also the daughter of the Vulture.

* Theseus and Ariadne of Crete. Ariadne betrayed her father and her people for Theseus. Theseus and Ariadne fall in love, but Theseus comes up with an interesting way to break it off -- leaving Ariadne stranded on an island (Naxos) in the middle of nowhere because of a dream.\\
** Some myths explain that the dream was sent by a god (more exactly, Dionysius [[TheHedonist the god of wine, theater and fertility]]), and basically was a "Hands off my woman" message. It may have included a fairly detailed explanation of why one does not want to play the RomanticFalseLead ''to a god''. He picked her up after Theseus decided to wisely drop her off; one hopes he told her ''why'' instead of just shoving her overboard at the suggested drop site and fleeing.\\
** Also, Theseus soon gets some LaserGuidedKarma for abandoning Ariadne [[KickTheDog like he did.]] He had promised to use white sails on his ship to let his beloved father Aegeus know he was alive... he forgot to change his black sails, Aegeus saw that and was DrivenToSuicide. And not to mention what happened when he got involved with Ariadne's ''sister'' Phaedria, too...

* The ''Series/{{Angel}}'' episode "Guise Will Be Guise", plays this straight - [[RecycledInSpace with MAGIC]]! In order to save [[DamselInDistress Cordelia]], [[NonActionGuy Wesley]] is [[MostDefinitelyNotAnImpostor forced to impersonate]] Angel and ends up playing bodyguard to an evil Warlock's beautiful daughter. HilarityEnsues.

** If fanfiction is anything to go by, Voldemort has about a million MarySue daughters. It seems he mostly sends them to Hogwarts to kill Harry only for them to (of course) fall in love with Harry. Expect her to show up openly using "Riddle" as her surname with the author acting as though we won't see TheReveal coming a mile away. If it's explained who her mother is, it will probably be Bellatrix.

** Also, Theseus soon gets some LaserGuidedKarma for abandoning Ariadne [[KickTheDog like he did.]] He had promised to use white sails on his ship to let his beloved father Aegeus know he was alive... he forgot to change his black sails, Egeus saw that and was DrivenToSuicide. And not to mention what happened when he got involved with Ariadne's ''sister'' Phaedria, too...

** Colette, daughter of the Master of Paris, is so far the straightest yet iteration of this trope, being the beautiful daughter of a (take a shot) MadScientist, who helps out the heroes - but ''not'' in defiance of her father, because the Master of Paris is on the good guys' side, [[GoodIsNotNice just rather stern.]] [[spoiler: Colette ends up ascending to the role of Master of Paris upon her father's death, while finally breaking through to become a Mad Scientist in her own right.]]

** Zola, [[spoiler: Lucrezia's niece,]] is at least a mad scientist's beautiful granddaughter. Though unlike just about every other example in this work she doesn't show any sign of having inherited [[ScienceRelatedMemeticDisorder the Spark]].

* In the ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' series, the Andalite Estrid fits this outline fairly well, although she is only a protege of the Mad Scientist character, Arbat. (Ax speculates that Estrid may be Arbat's niece, but she is no relation at all.) Arbat is a kind of alien GeneralRipper who intends to deploy a biological weapon (which he designed with help from Estrid) that will destroy both the Yeerks that are invading planet Earth--and probably the human race along with them. When Estrid meets the Andalite main character Ax, they hit it off and she becomes Ax's GirlOfTheWeek. Estrid was initially a WellIntentionedExtremist who agreed with Arbat's goals, but she became convinced it was wrong and helped to defeat Arbat.

* Though Sloan from the ''Literature/InheritanceCycle'' is more JerkAss than BigBad ([[spoiler: though he does betray his village in Book 2]]), his daughter Katrina might count.
