* A one-off comic by ''Pixie and Brutus'' creator Ben Hed has a normal-looking young woman approaching a MonstersAnonymous-type group, claiming to be a NonHumanHumanoidHybrid of a minotaur and a mermaid. The werewolf in charge of the support group [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore thinks she's mocking him]] and chews her out until she explains that she's just here to drop off her brother, [[HybridMonster a muscular mermaid-tailed bull man in a wheelchair]]. As she walks away, you can see she has a tail.

* In ''VideoGame/Yakuza4'', Lily is a fragile-looking [[RavenHairIvorySkin ideal Japanese beauty]], which is why it's a minor plot twist that she's the sister of [[spoiler:Taiga Saejima]], a hulking martial artist who looks every inch the ex-yakuza he is. Another twist is that, [[spoiler:due to various plot contrivances, [[FemmeFatale her]] kill count is ''much'' higher than his.]]

* Ann's brother Gary from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon64'' qualifies. He's not monstrous by any stretch of the word, but he's a "Social Disaster" as Ann puts it. Cold, silent, prone to bluntness when he does speak, and clearly doesn't like it when [[HelloInsertNameHere Pete]] takes an interest in Ann. That said, if you take the time to get to know him (which takes some work, believe us) it turns out that Gary is simply Quiet, not really mean.

* An animal example occurs in ''Webcomic/PixieAndBrutus'' in which the tiny sweet kitty Pixie meets the ex-military dog Brutus and recently adopted by Pixie's owner. Soon both developed a brother/sister relationship, being Brutus the Pixie's "big brother" and having [[BigBrotherInstinct all the instinct to protect the little kitty]].

** First with Hikigaya siblings, Hachiman and Komachi. The former isn't exactly ugly or feared by everyone else, but Komachi certainly is a cutie that has nothing to do with his brother, but Hachiman has a BigBrotherInstinct over her, also inherited to [[ReiAyanamiExpy Rumi Tsurumi]] and [[SenpaiKouhai Iroha Isshiki]].

* Billy Kane is a fearsome character from ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' and ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' series, a sadistic punk with a large cane who's TheDragon of [[SuperMobBoss Geese Howard]] and ArchEnemy of [[PowerTrio the "Hungry Wolves" team]] (the [[BandOfRelatives Bogard brothers Terry and Andy]], and Joe Higashi.) His little sister Lilly Kane, however, is a motherly-like younger sister who awaits for his brother when he's in fights ignorant ([[DependingOnTheWriter or not]]) of what's her brother is doing and always worried for him. She's also hinted in different appearances to be Joe's LoveInterest, which irritates Billy to no end.

* In ''Theatre/DearEvanHansen'', Connor is a mean, antisocial stoner. His younger sister Zoe, however, is attractive, popular, and kind-hearted.

* One ''ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}'' story begins when a woman asks a witch for help in conceiving a child. The witch gives her a healthy flower and a withered one, telling her to eat only the pretty one. The woman does so and gives birth to a beautiful girl, and of course eats the ugly one and gives birth to a troll-like girl. However, the two sisters love each other dearly, and when the human one gets her head replaced with a cow's, her sister goes out and beats the everloving crap out of the trolls with a wooden spoon.

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'': Harm and Secret, see above, show up in [[Recap/YoungJusticeS1E18Secrets Secrets]] the seventeenth episode of the first season which acts as a compressed version of there story.

* ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'': Billy and Greta Hayes, Harm and Secret, are an excellent example of this trope. Their story starts when he kills her only for her to BackFromTheDead as an amnesiac ghost who rapidly makes friends with the team. He makes himself a dangerous threat to them and others as he strives to be [[ToBeAMaster the greatest supervillain in the world.]] Their origin and story play out over years of comics.

* ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'' shows Ippo's afections for the cute Kumi, a nurse who also likes boxing and supports him in his fights. But one of his most difficult fights is against Ryou Mashiba, a dreadful and ugly boxer known for hurting severely his opponents. Things GoneHorriblyWrong for Ippo when he discovers Kumi is Ryou's little sister. After the fight, both boxers become {{friendly rival}}s, but Ryou likes to stalk and scare Ippo for dating his sister.

* Chumley and Tananda from ''Literature/MythAdventures'' form a RedOniBlueOni pair. Chumley is an urbane, thoughtful sasquatch-like monster. His sister is a short-tempered, impulsive drop-dead gorgeous woman who appears human except for her [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair green hair]] and a slight greenish tinge to her skin. It's eventually revealed that they are [[OurTrollsAreDifferent Trolls]] -- male Trolls are "Trolls" and female Trolls are "Trollops".

* ''Manga/SlamDunk'': Hanamichi Sakuragi is in love with Haruko, a lovely schoolgirl who likes basketball, which makes him enter to the basketball club of his school to get a chance on her. Sadly, the leader of the basketball team is her big brother: Takenori Akagi, who's feared even between his partners because of his big size and Patrick Ewing-like features (Sakuragi [[TheNickNamer calls him]] "[[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys Gori]]" for a reason).

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory's'' Sid and Hannah Phillips. The latter is a young GirlyGirl that likes to have tea parties with her dollies, while the former is an unstable child that likes to bully his little sister and is a toy's worst nightmare.

** Joffrey Baratheon and Myrcella Baratheon. He doesn't look monstrous, though his looks are about his only positive trait and [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon fools several people]], especially his betrothed Sansa. He starts out as a RoyalBrat who thinks his position means he's free from any consequences, and is later revealed to be a probable sociopath who swiftly becomes TheCaligula upon ascending the throne, enjoying physically and psychologically torturing people. Myrcella, on the other hand, is lovely inside and out [[spoiler:(although she later gets half her face disfigured, it doesn't seem to negatively alter her personality that much)]], and is sweet and gracious to everyone. Many people can’t believe how different the siblings are; it's telling that [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen their mother]] blatantly [[ParentalFavortism favors Joffrey]] while side-lining her other children.

Sadly, the leader of the basketball team is her big brother: Takenori Akagi, who's feared even between his partners because of his big size and Patrick Ewing-like features (Sakuragi [[TheNickNamer calls him]] "[[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys Gori]]" for a reason).
* ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'' shows Ippo's afections for the cute Kumi, a nurse who also likes boxing and supports him in his fights. But one of his most difficult fights is against Ryou Mashiba, a dreadful and ugly boxer known for hurting severely his opponents. Things GoneHorriblyWrong for Ippo when he discovers Kumi is Ryou's little sister. After the fight, both boxers become {{friendly rival}}s, but Ryou likes to stalk and scare Ippo for dating his sister.
* In Ryoichi Ikegami's ''[[Manga/SpiderManManga Spider-Man]]'', [[TheProtagonist Yu Komori]] meets Rumiko, a cute schoolgirl. Sadly, at the end of the chapter Yu discovers Rumiko is the little sister of Electro, the first supervillain he fights as Spider-Man [[spoiler:and even ''more'' sadly, the discovery occurs few moments after Yu [[AccidentalMurder killed Electro in the process]].]]
* Inverted in ''Manga/TheElderSisterLikeOne'', where Yu's older sister (while appearing to be a beautiful young woman) is actually [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Shub-Niggurath]].

* ''LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'' has Souka and Gabiru. While they were initially introduced as lizard monsters, Souka transforms into a cute girl with wings after being named by Rimuru, while her brother remains lizard-like. Maybe justified in that Gabiru was already named by a much weaker being before encountering Rimuru, so he can't be re-named to receive a more humanoid appearance.

* Chumley and Tananda from ''Literature/MythAdventures'' form a RedOniBlueOni pair. Chumley is an urbane, thoughtful sasquatch-like monster. His sister is a short-tempered, impulsive drop-dead gorgeous woman who appears human except for her [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair green hair]] and a slight greenish tinge to her skin. It's eventually revealed that they are [[OurTrollsAreDifferent Trolls]] - male Trolls are "Trolls" and female Trolls are "Trollops".

* In ''Literature/{{Mistborn}}'', Quellion - also known as "the Citizen" - is a dictator in charge of Urteau who executes people for their lineage. His little sister Beldre is an innocent civilian and Spook's LoveInterest. [[spoiler: This is ultimately {{subverted|Trope}} when it is revealed Beldre is an [[FunctionalMagic allomancer]], instead of her brother as Spook assumed, and her hostage situation was [[CapturedOnPurpose a ploy]] to sabotage the rebels' plans. Subverted ''again'' when Quellion is revealed to have been subjected to MindControl by [[SentientCosmicForce Ruin]].]]

** Viserys Targaryen and Daenerys Targaryen. He's a cruel, arrogant bully who looks down his nose at everyone and has delusions of grandeur, with his little sister being his main punching bag. Although not ugly, Viserys has a gaunt, severe and occasionally unhinged look to him. Dany starts out as meek yet kindhearted; she later starts standing up for herself and doesn't shy from more ruthless decision-making, yet retains her compassion. She's also considered very beautiful and dainty-looking. [[spoiler:After Viserys' bullying goes too far and he threatens to kill a pregnant Dany, her husband kills him as she looks on]].

* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', there is Mercedes, a [[WhiteMagicianGirl friendly devout]] [[CombatMedic healer]] and an all-around NiceGirl. And then there's the bloodthirsty, murderous [[spoiler:[[BlackKnight Death Knight]], who turns out to be her long-lost half-brother Emile (currently under the identity of Jeritza), with the Death Knight being his SuperpoweredEvilSide that [[MurderMakesYouCrazy manifested]] when his father decided to [[ParentalIncest marry Mercedes]] solely to have [[SuperpowerfulGenetics Crest-bearing]] children with her.]] Normally [[CainAndAbel they fight for opposing sides]], but [[spoiler:in the Blue Lions route (the house Mercedes belongs to), upon completing the shared paralogue of Mercedes and Caspar you unlock an extra scene after the final defeat of the Death Knight where Mercedes comforts her dying brother and apologizes for being unable to save him in time. Meanwhile, on the Black Eagles route you can have the two reunited and fight together if you recruit Mercedes into your house, as her brother will be there after the time skip anyway.]] Notably, [[spoiler:Emile[=/=]Jeritza]] is the rare example of a younger Monster Brother; also notably, he is [[{{Bishonen}} a rather handsome fellow]] under all that scary armor.

* A one-off comic by ''Pixie and Brutus'' creator Ben Hed has a normal-looking young woman approaching a MonstersAnonymous-type group, claiming to be a NonHumanHumanoidHybrid of a minotaur and a mermaid. The werewolf in charge of the support group [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore thinks she's mocking him]] and chews her out until she explains that she's just here to drop off her brother, [[HybridMonster a muscular mermaid-tailed bull man in a wheelchair]].

SisterTrope of UglyGuyHotWife, which is the couple version of this (and probably the reason why they got children as this). Related to BeastAndBeauty and both MenAreTough and WomenAreDelicate. See also both BigBrotherInstinct and LittleSisterHeroine, and TheUglyGuysHotDaughter which applies to father and daughter instead of brother and sister.

There's an attractive girl who is generally nice, helpful and pleasant to be around. Her brother, however, is a whole other story: he's got the menacing aura around him. He may be a PerpetualFrowner, or easily irritable, or even have FaceOfAThug (or be actually ugly, up to {{Gonk}} levels). People would likely hesitate to talk to him, or to his sister when he's around.
