* [[WebVideo/TroyHasACamera Troy Wagner, Joseph DeLange, and Tim Sutton]], the creators of ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets''. So much so fans began to call the three 'The Bro Trinity" or even [[FanNickname Trosephim]] due to how close the three are. Or at least ''were'', which makes it more saddening when [=DeLange=] and Sutton had a fall out with Wagner due to complicated reasons. Although Wagner has slowly attempted to build back his friendships with the two, with a degree of success, with the hopes that the Bro Trinity will return once again.

The Ventrue guide claims that ''other'' clans share bonding rituals and things that irretrievably link members of the coterie. This is not true, as any other clan guide would tell you.

* ''WebAnimation/CampCamp'' has the campers and councilors of Camp Campbell as a whole form an admittedly dysfunctional one over time, though particular note goes to the main trio of [[ComicTrio Max, Neil, and Nikki]]. This is solidified in the season three finale, where their camp is shut down by its owners, Camp Corp., but the kids are offered a chance to go to the camps they ''actually wanted'' to attend and the councilors offered better positions. But they realize they were happier together in that crappy camp and conspire to force the Camp Corp. owners into giving it back.

* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': This trope is not generally focused upon, but it's definitely there.



* Everyone in WebAnimation/{{Hololive}} is tightly knit with one another, but there are many individual examples of camraderie and sisterhood:
** In-character, GAMERS stars Korone and Okayu border on SickeningSweethearts. Out of character, the two were close friends even before joining hololive, and their friendship has endured over the years.
** The fourth generation's Kanata and Coco are roommates in real life, with the two supporting each other both financially and emotionally.
** Everyone in the English branch is close with one another, but Calliope and Kiara are standout examples. At the time they were introduced, Kiara -- in-character -- had a completely one-sided crush on Calli, with Calli refusing to reciprocate and being a harsh {{Tsundere}}. Over time, however, they became close friends, and that friendship bled over into their streams as, while Calli still will not return Kiara's overt affections, she became more warm and friendly to her. During Kiara's last stream in Japan before returning to her home country, Calli comforted her and assured her that she would still be around when she returned.
* ''WebAnimation/TheMisadventuresOfR2AndMiku'' is a strange case. While the titular pair are normally more of a BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine (with Miku and R2 respectively serving those roles), one episode shows their friendship breaking down near-completely, with R2 telling her off for her idiocy and carelessness towards him so badly that she's left genuinely depressed as a result. It ends with Miku apologizing sincerely for her actions and admitting that she ''needs'' him:
--> "That's why I'm always with you. Because you're kind and funny and smart. You always try to make me feel better when I'm sad. And it's in moments like this one when I'm glad I have such a good friend... I need you, R2. Your stupid friend needs you..."
* Parodied in a non-canon ''WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool'' video, "Love or a Dumpster?":
-->'''Bridget:''' ''Yeah'', yeah, yeah. I know the [[=MPGiS=]] app. I'm on it, its--like I finally have a family. A family that really loves gifs about fat kids.
-->'''Rachel:''' But Bridget, you ''already'' have a family. I-I'm your sister, and... and we have parents...
** In general canon, the Football Team's friendship easily the most loyal, closest, and happiest. [[EvilCounterpart The Cheer Squad's]] as well, albeit being much more afraid to admit it.



* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
** Team RWBY (Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang). [[TeethClenchedTeamwork Though it takes them a bit to get there.]] Weiss even says that [[FamilyOfChoice they're more family to her than her actual family ever was]].
** Team JNPR (Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren) bond together a bit faster, and quickly become team RWBY's closest allies. In fact, when team RWBY temporarily splits up, Ruby ends up joining team JNPR, and when her team reunites team JNPR stays with them.

Like any number of examples, they don't always get along, but once [[ChivalrousPervert Tedd]] and [[DefrostingIceQueen Susan]], of all people, became friends, becoming true companions was probably inevitable given what goes on in Moperville. Like ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' further down, they didn't start as true companions. The transition was a bit smoother, though, with the friend of friends having your back when the deadly stuff starts even if you were bickering only hours before.

* The cast of ''Film/It2017'' very quickly became a close knit group of friends, especially the actors who played the Losers. There is plenty of behind-the-scenes video that show them hanging out together and having fun. There have also been many instances where the cast have posted their support for each other's projects outside of the film series. They write that they are "best friends", and encourage their followers to watch/support their work. Even now about five years after filming they still seem close, as they consistently stay connected through social media.

The company generates Fellowship Points that can be traded for Hope points to help adventurers succeed at their tasks. Also, each adventurer chooses one comrade as a "fellowship focus" and can generate Hope points by protecting them in times of danger.

* Everyone in WebAnimation/{{Hololive}} is tightly knit with one another, but there are many individual examples of camraderie and sisterhood:
** In-character, GAMERS stars Korone and Okayu border on SickeningSweethearts. Out of character, the two were close friends even before joining hololive, and their friendship has endured over the years.
** The fourth generation's Kanata and Coco are roommates in real life, with the two supporting each other both financially and emotionally.
** Everyone in the English branch is close with one another, but Calliope and Kiara are standout examples. At the time they were introduced, Kiara -- in-character -- had a completely one-sided crush on Calli, with Calli refusing to reciprocate and being a harsh {{Tsundere}}. Over time, however, they became close friends, and that friendship bled over into their streams as, while Calli still will not return Kiara's overt affections, she became more warm and friendly to her. During Kiara's last stream in Japan before returning to her home country, Calli comforted her and assured her that she would still be around when she returned.

* The Wrestling/InnerCircle, Wrestling/ChrisJericho's heel PowerStable in Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling, is a surprisingly tight-knit group of villains. Jericho, Sammy Guevara, Wrestling/JakeHager and the team of Santana & Ortiz always have each other's backs and appear to genuinely like each other, Jericho is a BenevolentBoss and AFatherToHisMen who never [[YouHaveFailedMe punishes them for losing]], and there's none of the constant backstabbing and infighting you normally see in heel stables. The only time fractures ever appeared in the group was when Wrestling/{{MJF}} joined with his bodyguard Wardlow, antagonising Sammy until he left and trying to turn the other three against Jericho by convincing them he was past it, only for the group to hold strong with Sammy returning to reveal MJF's plot to Jericho and the other three briefly pretending to turn on their leader before turning back to stand beside him and stare MJF down. After they ejected MJF from the group (and unfortunately fell foul of MJF's ''new'' group, Wrestling/ThePinnacle), MJF admitted that he'd only ever joined the Inner Circle to try and destroy it from within- and had failed.

* The casts of a couple of different sitcoms eventually came to be this after a while. When former ''Series/FullHouse'' star Jodie Sweetin became addicted to meth, her fellow former cast members all helped intervene to get her into rehab. Meanwhile, the cast of ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'' became very close to each other as well, with Creator/EdONeill almost becoming a surrogate father to Christina Applegate, whose own parents were divorced.
