History Main / SameSexTriplets

Compare PowerTrio and RuleOfThree. Many TwinTropes also apply to triplets. If this trope is [[AvertedTrope averted]], they may be ThreeAmigos or TwoGuysAndAGirl.

* Although there are many triplicate goddesses in various European mythologies, such as Hecate or the Norns, the differentiation into the [[TheHecateSisters Maiden, Mother and Crone]] wasn't invented before the 19th century.

* Triplets played baby Katie on ''Series/DrQuinnMedicineWoman'', enabling her to be frequently seen on-screen without ever violating SAG rules or child-labor laws about the amount of hours a child can work. Most shows with babies use twins for this reason, but for Katie, ''triplets'' were needed.

* Averted in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' series; Shrek and Fiona's triplets consist of two boys (named Farkle and Fergus) and a girl (named Felicia). None of them are identical either, which is far more realistic as identical triplets are rare.

* Maggie's triplet nephews from ''WesternAnimation/MaggieAndTheFerociousBeast''.

* From Wiki/{{Killerbunnies}}, we have Fern, Tommie, and Flori Evans, who all have blue eyes, blond hair, color scheme and makeup.

* Tsubaki, Azusa and Natsume Asahina from ''LightNovel/BrothersConflict''.

* The Chiga triplets from ''Zaregoto''.

* The Ran triplets from ''LightNovel/TheStoryOfSaiunkoku'', all of whom are named Setsuna. They also have personal names, but almost nobody uses them: multiple births are considered unlucky in Saiunkoku, so the triplets were raised to be as identical as possible and only the wife of one of the triplets [[spoiler:and, eventually, Shuuei]] can tell them apart.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Barbie}}'''s direct-to-video films often do this with little girl characters corresponding to Kelly/Chelsea in the toyline. Very often, they're also a BlondeBrunetteRedhead trio.

* The Ran triplets from ''LightNovel/SaiunkokuMonogatari'', all of whom are named Setsuna. They also have personal names, but almost nobody uses them: multiple births are considered unlucky in Saiunkoku, so the triplets were raised to be as identical as possible and only the wife of one of the triplets [[spoiler:and, eventually, Shuuei]] can tell them apart.

* Also from Creator/MarvelComics, the ComicBook/StepfordCuckoos, for a time [[spoiler:when three of them were still alive, and before they discovered their innumerable clone siblings]].

* A set of same-sex triplets (Taichi, Tatsuji, and Yuzo Tomizawa) become murder suspects in ''Manga/DetectiveConan'', and it's up to Conan to figure out which of the three [[{{Patricide}} killed their father]]. [[spoiler:It was Taichi.]] In a subversion, however, The three men have pretty different looks (Taichi has a PornStache, Tatsuji slicks his hair back, Yuzo looks quite younger than the other two), and the only ''actual'' shared physical trait they have are their eyes, their brows and their noses. Which ''coincidentally'' are the only part of the culprit's face that the witnesses could see. Therefore in practice they don't look '''that''' alike, but there's still no easy way to see which triplet was to blame.

* The titular characters from ''Webcomic/TwiceTheTriplets'' are ''two sets'' of girl triplets. [[spoiler:Averted with Dacey's babies, who are two boys and one girl.]]

* The titular characters from ''Webcomic/TwiceTheTriplets'' are ''two sets'' of triplet girls. [[spoiler:Averted with Dacey's babies, who are two boys and one girl.]]

* Mallory from ''Literature/TheBabysittersClub'' has identical triplet brothers.

* Averted by the Scumthorpe triplets in ''Webcomic/TheScumthorpeFiles'', which consists of 2 girls (Lolita and Carrie) and 1 boy (Lester).

** ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheMagicOfPegasus'': Blush, Rose, and Lilac, the Cloud Queen's three daughters who paint the sky at sunrise and sunset. They're also the only exception to the BlondeBrunetteReadhead pattern: Blush and Lilac are both blonde and Rose has auburn hair.

* Ichigo, Ringo and Sango from ''Manga/HanaukyoMaidTeam''.

** The Quagmire triplets (Duncan, Quigley and Isadora) re an aversion, being two brothers and a sister.
