4	->''"This is Max. She's got brown hair and she's got big boobs. And this is Caroline. She's got blonde hair and she's got small boobs. Even though they have their differences and they've got different-sized boobs and different colored hair, they manage to work out their differences and become best friends or something. It's a comedic premise that you've seen before. And it's '''funny'''. It '''works'''."''
5	-->-- '''[[https://youtu.be/rLz7pQMfVg0 Spoof ad]]''' for ''Series/TwoBrokeGirls''

7	An AlwaysFemale trope. Between two close female characters, one tends to be [[{{Tsundere}} borderline-violent]], and, while not necessarily flat, [[ACupAngst anxious about that aspect of her figure]]. The other, meanwhile, tends to be [[NiceGirl nicer, gentler, and more wholesome]], while at the same time being far more... [[BigBreastPride filled out and confident]].
8
9	This often occurs in JapaneseMedia (anime and manga, video games and light/visual novels) where the size of the chest influenced their personalities. Here, a TinyTyrannicalGirl who's a {{Tsundere}} is at play; when the more slender/petite girl acts abrasive[[note]]either because she feels she's made fun of because of her size (whether it's true or not) or because that's a way for her to be more "imposing" or "assertive" despite her size, or because her body isn't "grown up" enough that she's written as having an attitude of a child/preteen[[/note]], there's usually a more indulgent, and more 'feminine', character there to provide the beleaguered protagonist breathing room... [[MarshmallowHell though often at the expense of his ability to breathe]]. They usually have an image of either "caring big sister" or "doting young mother". The latter tends to fall victim to HopelessSuitor, CanNotSpitItOut, or some variety of LikeBrotherAndSister, from the male's perspective.
10
11	Of course, there're exceptions where the busty girl doesn't necessarily have a good attitude. She might have a case of BigBreastPride (making her arrogant) and/or dress in a {{Stripperiffic}} way to get more attention, for example. Likewise, the petite girl could be gentler, possibly a [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosted]] ReiAyanamiExpy, or a sensible {{Housewife}} type. There may be parallels with TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity, sometimes even SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains. But anyway, the contrast between the two girls and the obvious bust comparison is still there.
12
13	Related to RedOniBlueOni ([[{{Metaphorgotten}} but with boobs]]), BettyAndVeronica (when they have a common LoveInterest), and YuriGenre (where the main girls and OfficialCouple have this trope applied.) See also LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine, where the contrast is in the general outfit instead the cup; both ACupAngst and BuxomBeautyStandard (sometimes DCupDistress if the busty one is a ShrinkingViolet), the main reason why these girls contrast; ModelSheet, which can feature proportion charts where clear comparisons between cups are made; and HairContrastDuo, where the contrast depends of the hair color, sometimes overlapping this trope (where usually the slender girl has a light hair color and the busty one has a darker color). Contrast OnlyOneFemaleMold. May be represented by a FoodAndBodyComparison.

15	!!Examples:
16
17	[[foldercontrol]]
18
19	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
20	* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'' does this with quite a few of the girlfriends when enough of them appear to get paired off.
21	** The first two girlfriends, Karane Inda and Hakari Hanazono, are the most prominent coupling and fit naturally into this trope. Karane is of the smaller size and has a more aggressive and [[{{Tsundere}} emotionally dishonest]] personality, while Hakari is more sexually and romantically open and proud of her busty figure.
22	** Shizuka and Nano, the third and fourth girlfriends, also display this trope. Shizuka is all-around small and a timid person, while Nano is one of the taller and bustier girlfriends but is a coolheaded and logical beauty.
23	* Beelzebub from ''Manga/AsMissBeelzebubLikes'' is rather buxom as well as being fluffy, spacey, and borderline [[TheDitz ditz]], in sharp contrast with Sargatanas who is cold, sadistic, blunt, and [[ACupAngst flat as a board]].
24	* The main two characters of ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'' are Matsuri, [[GenderBender a boy turned into a well-endowed girl]], and Suzu, whose chest is far more modest. Inverting the usual personalities, Suzu is gentle and motherly, while Matsuri is antisocial and over-serious.
25	* ''Manga/BGataHKei'' is another instance of a busty UnluckyChildhoodFriend / GirlNextDoor, who cooks for and otherwise takes care of the male lead. The protagonist Yamada is light-haired, and, as the title states, B-Cupped and [[LovableSexManiac sex-minded]], but her embarrassment and inexperience lead to her acting in stereotypically {{Tsundere}} fashion.
26	* ''{{Anime/Bakugan}}'': Initially rivals for Dan's feelings and later best friends, Runo is a small-chested, spunky Type A {{Tsundere}} and Julie is a more developed (especially for her age) girl who is cheerful, optimistic, and genuinely nice.
27	* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
28	** The flat-chested Rukia Kuchiki (who, while generally nice, can be very strict and harsh sometimes) and the much more well-endowed Orihime Inoue, who's one of the nicest characters InUniverse.
29	** Another known example is given by Sui Feng (flat and mean) and Yoruichi Shihouin (has a bigger chest and is considerably nicer).
30	** Among the Soul Reaper lieutenants: Rangiku Matsumoto has an hourglass figure and an extroverted personality despite having a rough childhood, while Momo Hinamori is petite and timid despite coming from a more privileged background (namely, being born in one of the safer areas of the Rukon districts).
31	** There's also the Kotetsu sisters, with tomboyish Kiyone having smallish breasts while her ShrinkingViolet big sister Isane has ''huge'' breasts, though ironically it's ''Isane'' who seems to have a complex about her boobs and her height, while Kiyone tries to encourage her to be more confident.
32	** For the Arrancar, Loly has noticeable cleavage and a nasty disposition, while her partner Menoly has a boyish build and is generally more submissive.
33	** The Vandenreich has a bust-contrast quintet. The bustier they are, the more reliant they are on raw power, with Meninas [=McAllon=]'s signature ability being super-strength, while prepubescent Liltotto Lamperd and [[AmbiguousGender possibly transgender]] Giselle Gewelle relying on BodyHorror and necromancy.
34	* An InUniverse example in ''Manga/BootyRoyaleNeverGoDownWithoutAFight''. Misora's gravure modeling agency starts marketing her and two of her fellow models as a trio called "Japan KGB"--the "KGB" meaning their cup sizes: Misora is the K, her girlfriend Akira is the G, and professional loli Beruko is the B. On a side trip away from the TournamentArc, they start doing auditions for a new trio, "Japan KGB Second Generation", and end up with trans woman Miya Nekomiya as the B, sumo wrestler Nosaka Nagisa as the G, and their longtime model Utako as the K.
35	* ''Literature/TheDevilIsAPartTimer '': The hero Emilia is frequently noticing the endowment of her rival, Chiyo, against her own [[ACupAngst smaller chest]]. To rub salt in the wound, the anime gives us a scene in the PoolEpisode where Chiyho's breasts are compared to "Two Special one pound burgers" while Emilia's are compared to "Two small burgers, hot and fresh."
36	* ''Manga/GoodLuckGirl'': Ichiko has one of the biggest busts out of any girl in the series and her SitcomArchNemesis Momiji's chest is as flat as a washboard. Ichiko's huge rack is the main reason why Momiji hates Ichiko from the get-go, and they take potshots at each other over their busts during the whole series.
37	* ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'' has this vibe between female leads Nagi Sanzenin (a {{Tsundere}} with ACupAngst) and Maria (BrainyBrunette, CoolBigSis, and MsFanservice).
38	* Kaguya from ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' is on the petite side and is a hybrid of a DefrostingIceQueen and a {{Tsundere}}. Meanwhile, her "[[WithFriendsLikeThese best friend]]" Fujiwara has big boobs and is a [[GenkiGirl bubbly]] {{Cloudcuckoolander}}.
39	* ''Manga/KurokosBasketball'' sets a discreet contrast between Seirin's coach, the petite [[BrainyBrunette Riko Aida]], and Touou's manager and Kuroko's [[ChildhoodFriends middle school friend]], the busty [[RoseHairedSweetie Satsuki Momoi]]: both of them use AwesomenessByAnalysis to train their respective teams, even though Riko seems to leave more room to improvisation while Momoi can seem CrazyPrepared in comparison. Also, while both of them seem focused and collected, Riko has a temper even her trainees fear, while Momoi is always cool and collected. Funnily enough, both of them are [[LethalChef complete failures at cooking]].
40	* ''Manga/LoveHina'''s Mutsumi Otohime shows up halfway through the series as an [[TheBaxter alternative love interest]], a ditzy, Watermelon-themed, constantly-on-the-verge-of-death, all-around nice girl to contrast Naru Narusegawa, the violent, tsundere, female lead. Although Naru's chest is prominent, Mutsumi's boob size is considerably bigger, having the most prominent bust of all the females of the series.
41	* PlayedForLaughs in ''Manga/LuckyStar'': HugeSchoolgirl Minami is flat as a frying pan and has a bad case of ACupAngst. Her best friend Yutaka is tiny and also flat-chested. However, Yutaka still has good chances of filling out a bit, which causes Minami no end of (well-hidden) pain. Yutaka, in turn, admires tall girls like Minami, hitting her pet peeve for all it's worth.
42	* ''Anime/MacrossDelta'' has Makina, who is high-pitched, extroverted, and has arguably the largest bust size out of any IdolSinger in the entire franchise, and Reina, who is soft-spoken, introverted, and is on the petite side in terms of both height and chest. The duo have a lot of LesYay moments between each other throughout the show and promotional media and oftentimes duet with each other in most of Walkure's songs as the backup singers.
43	* ''Manga/MySenpaiIsAnnoying'': Futaba still looks very childlike, not helped by her small stature, lack of a bust, and the fact that the other girls around her have visibly larger breasts. One shot unsubtly highlights the difference by showing a computer background between Futaba and her OfficeLady coworker representing [[https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/3096808 the Earth and the Sun.]]
44	* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': Multiple:
45	** Sakura and Hinata, post-TimeSkip. The former is [[ACupAngst highly sensitive about her lack of growth]], while the latter is [[DCupDistress embarrassed about her growth]].
46	** Likewise, there's Sakura and her mentor Tsunade, who's one of the few women with breasts that are larger than Hinata's.
47	** The Team Samui of Kumogakure includes the big-breasted leader Samui and the flat-chested {{Tsundere}} Karui.
48	* ''Manga/Overlord2012'': Albedo the succubus and Shalltear the vampire were each designed by people with very different fetishes in mind (HotAsHell for one, a lolicon necrophiliac for the other) both of them competing over Ainz' affections (nevermind that he's an animated skeleton).
49	** Their rivalry even extends to an omake where they're playing D&D: Shalltear (playing a MagicKnight) complains that Albedo (MagicallyIneptFighter) only depends on her big... stats, while Albedo snarks at Shalltear having to make up for her lack of stats [[FakeBoobs with tricks.]]
50	* ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'':
51	** First seen with the titular protagonists, the Anarchy sisters. Panty has an AllWomenAreLustful attitude and is very extroverted but has a perky chest. Her sister Stocking instead is more reserved and usually DoesNotLikeMen but has a bigger chest than her sister.
52	** Later seen with their PsychoRangers, Scanty and Kneesocks, having the same personalities between rivals but with inverted bodies: Scanty has a sexy attitude with a HairTriggerTemper and has a big bust, Kneesocks being more reserved than her sister but more slender than her (and even more flat-chested than Panty).
53	* The first two love interests ([[UnwantedHarem of many]]) in ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' are Moka Akashiya and Kurumu Kurono. FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Moka is, for the most part, sweet and wholesome, but has a SplitPersonality that borders on SuperpoweredEvilSide and is ''painfully'' Tsundere; the endlessly-lovestruck-succubus Kurumu has a [[BuxomBeautyStandard buxom figure that is emphasized often]]. Again, Moka has a good pair of boobs, but Kurumu's are certainly superior in size.
54	* In ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' we have Kaoru Kamiya, flat and bad-tempered, and Megumi Takani, who doesn't really have huge knockers, though looks older and more feminine but at the same time is sweeter towards Kenshin Himura.
55	* ''Manga/{{Saki}}'':
56	** The eponymous character is flat-chested, while her best friend Nodoka has fairly large breasts.
57	** On the Eisui team, Hatsumi, [[OlderThanTheyLook who looks like a child despite being a third-year in high school]], is flat-chested, while Kasumi, her long-time friend and yearmate, has breasts that are even larger than Nodoka's.
58	** In Himematsu, there's the Atago sisters- the flat-chested Hiroe and the well-endowed Kinue.
59	* In ''Manga/YuruYuri'' the BelligerentSexualTension StudentCouncil Duo [[UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}} Sakurako]] and Himawari are always together and while {{Tsundere}} toward each other and Sakurako is prone to fights they are actually [[LesYay more than]] great friends. (which is not lost on the rest of the cast)
60	* ''Anime/YuGiOhZexal'': Yuma's two of his three {{Love Interest}}s are portrayed in this manner. His first love interest Kotori is flat (she's 13 years old), but feminine, almost never duels, and if she does, she uses a deck themed after fairies and cheerleaders, and her main role is to cheer for Yuma rather than participating in the action. Yuma's third love interest Anna is very endowed for her age (also middle school age), but she's very much a {{Tomboy}}, is the series' most prominent ActionGirl, her deck is themed after trains and cannons, but she doesn't get to appear a lot unlike Kotori.
61	[[/folder]]
62
63	[[folder:Comic Books]]
64	* ''ComicBook/AstonishingXMen'': Kitty Pryde has a flat chest while Emma Frost outright admits to having had her breasts augmented. The two butt heads throughout the comic due to Kitty being more compassionate and ethical compared to the borderline sociopathic Emma.
65	* ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'' (a strongly manga-influenced US comic) has the friendship between Emp, who is very voluptuous in all parts and an AllLovingHero, and Ninjette, who is skinny and a DeadpanSnarker, alcoholic, near-villain.
66	* ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} is ([[DependingOnTheArtist usually]]) drawn with a rather modest chest and is often depicted as shy and sweet. Her AlternateSelf ComicBook/PowerGirl is (in)famous for her large bust and is confident and extroverted to the point of [[SmugSuper arrogance]].
67	[[/folder]]
68
69	[[folder:Comic Strips]]
70	* ''ComicStrip/BeetleBailey'' has General Halftrack's office staffed by Miss Blips and Miss Buxley. Blips came first and is a DeadpanSnarker and almost HypercompetentSidekick to the aged general. Blips has the body shape of a file cabinet with a head and is often treated as such. Miss Buxley appeared later on, as a civilian liaison, being a MsFanservice with DudeMagnet properties. Buxley has an ImpossibleHourglassFigure that used to rev the general's engine until his battleaxe wife shut him down. When paired with Blips, [[MutualEnvy these two women are envious of one another]]: Blips can't help but be jealous of Buxley's "boy magnets," while Buxley longs to be unencumbered by drooling wolves the way Blips is.
71	[[/folder]]
72
73	[[folder:Fan Works]]
74	* Although ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' canon has no stated breast sizes for any character, {{fanon}} has the following general patterns:
75	** [[NinjaMaid Sakuya]] and [[AnimeChineseGirl Meiling]]. Sakuya is usually portrayed as [[ACupAngst flat-chested and highly sensitive about it]], to the point that there's a RunningGag about her allegedly padding her bra. Her coworker Meiling, by contrast, almost always has big breasts.
76	** [[{{Shinigami}} Komachi]] and Eiki. Komachi is the one character who is consistently portrayed as having an equal or even larger bust than Meiling. Her boss is typically shown as not only flat-chested but also [[TheNapoleon very short]], which feeds into her general envy towards her subordinate.
77	** [[GreenEyedMonster Parsee]] and [[{{Oni}} Yuugi]]. Yuugi is ''always'' depicted as very muscular, with boobs that compare to Meiling and Komachi. While Parsee isn't usually as flat as Sakuya and Eiki, since envy and jealousy are her defining traits, being in the presence of Yuugi tends to bring this trope up.
78	** Yuyuko and Youmu. Yuyuko is a ghost stereotyped as doing nothing but eating and sleeping with the chest to match, while Youmu is a CuteGhostGirl (well, half-ghost) who serves as Yuyuko's bodyguard and gardener.
79	* ''VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpaAnother2'': The Otonokoji twins. In addition to being PolarOppositeTwins, Hibiki is less endowed than Kanade. Hibiki acts as the dominant half, bullying her sister regularly. Kanade is a submissive NiceGirl who loves her sister dearly. [[spoiler: In reality, while they still fit the trope, their personalities are completely different. Considering Kanade is an incestuous, psychopathic SerialKiller, Hibiki is a saint by comparison.]]
80	[[/folder]]
81
82	[[folder:Literature]]
83	* Minami Shimada and Mizuki Himeji from ''Literature/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts'', as the tsundere and nice girl respectively. Minami is often the butt of jokes about her chest size, to the point where Yoshii apparently thinks she's a guy at one point. As a result, she frequently beats the crap out of him. Mizuki, on the other hand, is very kind and gentle (well, usually) and has huge cleavage.
84	* The leading ladies in ''Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}}'' are the slender, willowy, and [[{{Yandere}} borderline-homicidal]] Senjougahara Hitagi, and Hanekawa Tsubasa, whom the protagonist notes as having the largest breasts in his class, and with whom he's on more generally friendly terms.
85	* ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'' has the rivalry of Mikoto Misaka and Misaki Shokuhou, two Level 5 espers who go to the same middle school. Mikoto is an {{action\|girl}} TomboyWithAGirlyStreak with [[ShockAndAwe electrical powers]] who [[ACupAngst laments about her lack of figure]], while the buxom unathletic Misaki outwardly acts girly but has a calculating mind to go with her {{telepathy}}. Towards Touma, the protagonist of ''Index'', Mikoto was a huge {{Tsundere}} towards him before recognizing her own feelings for him, while Misaki rarely interacts with Touma (mostly due to the fact Touma is unable to retain memories of her due to brain damage), but when they do come across each other Misaki won't hesitate to tease him.
86	* A very weird example in ''Literature/{{Durarara}}''. The Orihara twins, Mairu and Kururi, ''intentionally'' created contrasting personalities after [[BigBrotherBully Izaya]] told them one should just die if they were going to be exactly alike. Thus, in grade school they decided on their personalities- Mairu would be the outgoing one while Kururi would be the silent one. As they grew up, Mairu ended up flat-chested and Kururi became far more endowed.
87	* ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'':
88	** Lady Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere is the TinyTyrannicalGirl, a {{Tsundere}}, and the abusive of the pair while her maid, Siesta, is the nicer and more empathetic girl with more to show off.
89	** LovableAlphaBitch Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt Zerbst, who has a big bust, and her best friend, the ReiAyanamiExpy BadassBookworm Tabitha aka Charlotte Helene Orleans de Gallia, who's as flat as Louise.
90	** Later events introduce the cute (and ''bustier'') [[HalfHumanHybrid half-elf]] Tiffania Westwood Tudor de Albion that even makes Siesta seems slender as Louise, as well as becoming the ThirdOptionLoveInterest for Saito Hiraga.
91	* ''Literature/InAnotherWorldWithMySmartphone'': Downplayed between the Silhoueska twins. Elze is the less endowed of the two and is [[ACupAngst very insecure about it]], and while she's not exaggeratedly violent, she specializes in physical combat and is the more outspoken and impulsive of the two. Linze is bustier, more demure and feminine than her sister, specializes in elemental magic, and is the smartest of the two, and while she's usually shy and reserved, [[BewareTheNiceOnes she also has her moments of being genuinely scary when angered]].
92	* In ''[[Literature/MyYouthRomanticComedyIsWrongAsIExpected My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU]]'' can be seen twice between Yukino Yukinoshita, the IceQueen of the series (later [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosted]]) who has ACupAngst, and these two girls who has a bigger bust than her:
93	** First with her [[BigBrotherBully bullying big sister]] Haruno Yukinoshita, probably the main reason why Yukino has the ACupAngst in the first place, implied that she had being bothered with that issue for years.
94	** Later (and first seen in the series) with Yui Yuigahama who, apart from the chest size, also contrasts with Yukino in her nicer attitude, being a GenkiGirl and TheHeart of the Service Club. They became close friends during the series [[spoiler:but with the time they became [[BettyAndVeronica love rivals in secret]] for the affections of Hachiman Hikigaya.]]
95	* ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'':
96	** The series beginning presents us with [[FieryRedhead hot-headed]] female lead Lina Inverse and supporting female character, the dark-haired Sylphiel Nels Ladha, vis-a-vis the affections of male lead Gourry Gabriev. Again, the chest issue comes up in regards to the FieryRedhead, but most consider it an InformedAttribute.
97	** Later in the {{prequel}} series before Lina meets Gourry, her companion was Naga the Serpent, an arrogant and {{Stripperiffic}} sorcerer with a chest even bigger than Sylphiel (and she [[BigBreastPride doesn't doubt to show it to Lina]]) that usually antagonizes her, seeing Lina as TheRival, despite the fact both travel and work together.
98	* ''Literature/SoICantPlayH'': Lisara Restall, [[InformedAttribute who we are told is flat]], a scythe-wielding, redheaded, but relatively even-tempered tsundere, vs. Mina Okura, the protagonist's far-more-indulgent, raven-hired, F-Cupped GirlNextDoor.
99	* ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'': The first series gives us the low-grade tsundere primary love interest Asuna, who has a normal bust in general. Later in the series appears Sinon, a famous sniper who has no chest compared with Asuna, and has tsundere tendencies. And between the two's introductions, there's Leafa, a MasterSwordswoman LittleSisterHeroine whose breasts can eat Asuna's and Sinon's for breakfast.
100	* ''Literature/{{Toradora}}'' has some conflict between the petite, abrasive, flat-chested Taiga Aisaka and the nice, busty high-school model Ami Kawashima, though it's quickly revealed that Ami is [[BitchInSheepsClothing not as nice as she appears to be in public]]. Not only are they both [[LoveTriangle focused on main character Ryuuji Takasu]], but there's a grudge between them for most of the story.
101	[[/folder]]
102
103	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
104	* ''Series/TwoBrokeGirls'' has snarky, busty Max and chipper, slender Caroline. Lampshaded in the spoof ad as seen above.
105	* SexySweaterGirl and SexySecretary Joan Holloway (Busty) and the more HollywoodHomely and PluckyOfficeGirl Peggy Olson (more average in bustline) start off like this in ''Series/MadMen'' with Peggy starting off as very naive and shy while Joan is seductive and the AlphaBitch looking forward to quitting her job before marriage. They both undergo CharacterDevelopment where Peggy becomes savvier, more confident, and stronger while Joan really leans into her natural strength and demands to have her intellect and experience be taken seriously.
106	* ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'' has Marcy, the short-haired flat-chested feminist, and Peggy, whose figure and mannerisms are more traditionally feminine. The show being what it is though, both are portrayed with the absolute worst traits of their respective personalities: Marcy is a hateful man-eater and Peggy is a lazy mooch.
107	* This trope is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in an episode of ''Series/SamAndCat'' where Cat impersonates Sam and must stuff oranges down her bra to pull off the deception. The show inverts the stereotype, however. While Sam is bustier, she is the more abrasive and rude of the pair, whereas Cat is more sweet and naive. In her [[Series/{{Victorious}} original show]] Cat was shown to have an OddFriendship with [[AlphaBitch Jade]], who had several jokes made about her bust size.
108	* ''Series/StrangerThings'' has waifish go-getter Nancy and buxom everygirl Robin. Lampshaded in an episode when Nancy loans Robin one of her bras, which the latter described as "pinching my boobs".
109	* The two female employees at ''Series/WKRPInCincinnati'' are Jennifer Marlow and Bailey Quarters. Jennifer is a StatuesqueStunner that wears form-fitting outfits that accentuate her feminine curves. She's also the highest-paid employee on staff. Then there's Bailey, the mousy intern who can't compete with Jennifer, so she goes along as the {{Ladette}} and PluckyOfficeGirl.
110	[[/folder]]
111
112	[[folder:Video Games]]
113	* In the "[[CapcomSequelStagnation updates]]" of ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive5'', some of the new characters are the duo of Marie Rose and Honoka, both close [[FriendlyRival friends and rivals]]. Marie Rose is the shortest of the fighters in the game (and maybe the whole franchise) and uses her charms as a petite girl for her own advantage. Honoka instead is an InnocentFanserviceGirl who's very ditzy but with a great fighting potential. Marie Rose possesses the smallest bust out of all the female characters in the series, a direct contrast to Honoka who possesses the largest bust (even rivaling westerner characters such as Helena and Christie), which was even the subject of a pun in their Japanese tag team intro.
114	* ''VideoGame/{{Elsword}}'': The first two female playable characters are Aisha, the petite, abrasive magician, and Rena, the motherly busty elf. The former is always jealous of the latter's breasts.
115	* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'': Aerith Gainsborough and Tifa Lockhart are the two main LoveInterests of [[TheProtagonist Cloud Strife]], who also are kind-hearted and have good chests (with Tifa's being bigger than Aerith's). Tifa is shyer and more insecure, while Aerith is more outgoing and confident. In general, the comparison also can be done with any of these two girls compared with Yuffie Kisaragi, who has a flat chest and fits more in the "playful rogue" type that's common with young-looking characters.
116	* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', the older sisters of the two opposing families Nohr and Hoshido are the big-breasted, motherly Camilla and the flat-chested, tomboyish Hinoka.
117	* ''VideoGame/GarouMarkOfTheWolves'': The only two female fighters are the petite and cute Hotaru Futaba and MsFanservice Bonne Jenet. While Jenet is a more straightforward tease with mature charms, Hotaru is a more reserved MartialPacifist with small immature streaks (one of her post-match taunts is basically BlowingARaspberry).
118	* ''VideoGame/NinjaMastersHaoNinpoCho'' has two playable female characters: the well-endowed and seductive MsFanservice Natsume, and the flat-chested and childish NinjaBrat Kasumi.
119	* ''VideoGame/Persona4'': [[KickChick Chie]] and [[YamatoNadeshiko Yukiko]] have this dynamic on top of their [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl usual one]]. Chie has a very boyish, androgynous frame that she's deeply insecure of, while Yukiko -- [[HiddenBuxom while the definition of conservative modesty in public]] -- has a very feminine frame overall that Chie can't help but be envious over. This is actually [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]], as Chie has such intense envy over Yukiko's femininity that she feels like she needs to have her rely on Chie to give her any sort of self-importance.
120	* The ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' series has [[Platform/Xbox360 Vert]] and [[Platform/NintendoWii Blanc]] share this dynamic, despite a lack of romantic interests. Vert has the biggest bust in the game.([[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory most of the time]]) and is [[BigBreastPride extremely proud of that fact]]. Blanc, on the other hand, is tiny in every respect and possesses both ACupAngst and a HairTriggerTemper. Vert is no saint and Blanc has her own redeeming features, but even the other characters know exactly how every discussion about breasts is going to go.
121	* ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'':
122	** There were only two women in the original game's roster: The speedy, small, and petite Ainu priestess Nakoruru and the tall, blonde French fencer Charlotte Christine Colde, who was revealed in later materials to be quite busty beneath her BreastPlate. Their personalities were also an unusual reversion of the trope as well, as Nakoruru stands as one of the most virtuous and kind characters in the franchise, and Charlotte is a more proud person (although she never goes overboard).
123	** In ''SS 64'' games, the same comparison can be made between Nakoruru and the newcomer Shiki, who has a bigger bust and also contrasts Nakoruru in being an AloofDarkHairedGirl.
124	** ''Warriors Rage'' [[Platform/PlayStation PS1]] game has Rinka Yoshino and Saya, both girls part of LaResistance, with Rinka being an ACupAngst {{Tsundere}} with a {{BFS}} and the {{Stripperiffic}} MsFanservice Saya having the biggest buxom playing as the game's McNinja.
125	* ''VideoGame/SenranKagura'': The twins Ryoubi and Ryouna has this dynamic. The former is one of the few small-chested girls in the cast (who can nonetheless [[BreastExpansion expand its size]] for her ninja transformation) and has a complex regarding her figure, as well as being a {{Sadist}}. The latter is one of the contenders of the girl with the largest bust among the cast and is flightier and more cheerful, as well as being TooKinkyToTorture.
126	* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' has Ibuki, whose breast size in her appearances has varied due to who she was associated with. Initially she had bigger breasts compared to her friends Makoto and Elena; later, due to being rivals with Sakura her breasts were also rather quite large and shapely; but in ''V'', due to being associated with R.Mika and Karin, Ibuki's breast size is arguably the smallest among the girls.

130	* ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'': The [[ACupAngst flat-chested]] and [[HairTriggerTemper impulsive]] [[{{Tsundere}} Natsuki]] is contrasted with the [[ShrinkingViolet shy]], thoughtful, and [[DCupDistress busty]] Yuri. They are presented as constantly clashing over [[TechnicianVersusPerformer their writing styles]] and interests, being the two most dominant and different personalities in the club.
131	* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': The two closest girls to Shirou in his school are Rin, the confident and {{Tsundere}} small-chested girl, and Sakura, his ''kouhai'', who (beyond her meekness and other issues) is a gentle and caring girl who's bustier than Rin. [[spoiler: They happen to be sisters.]]
132	* In ''VisualNovel/GoGoNippon'', of the two LoveInterests, the younger sister Akira Misaki is flat-chested and {{Tsundere}} while the older sister, Makoto Misaki, has a large bust and is much more [[YamatoNadeshiko gentle and motherly]].

136	* ''WebAnimation/NyanNekoSugarGirls'': Of the duo, the calm and restrained Koneko has smaller breasts to contrast the extremely busty Raku-chan, who is very loud and childish.

140	* Part and parcel of the contrast between the title character of ''[[Webcomic/Alfie2010 Alfie (2010)]]'' and her [[LadykillerInLove apparently first-step-past "Friends with Benefits"]] Ozge. The external differences (borderline plump with impressive hips vs near-androgynous beanpole, [[{{Hobbits}} not quite four foot tall]] vs pushing eight if not dragging it, would otherwise pass for human aside from the ears vs [[CuteMonsterGirl long-tailed blue goat-person]] [[HornedHumanoid with horns]]) are if anything exceeded by those between the respective personalities (Ozge is largely solitary & shyly taciturn where Alfie is gregarious & charming, a chaste romantic rather than deeply cynical about love, a bluntly honest sort that owns her [[DeliberateValuesDissonance outright deviancy]] as opposed to a longtime CovertPervert & habitual liar).
141	* The two most prominent characters in ''Webcomic/GirlsWithSlingshots'' are Hazel Tellington and Jamie [=McJack=]. Hazel is roughly a B-cup, and lives above a yuppie bar being all angsty and kvetchy. Jamie lugs DD-cups around, which means she never pays for drinks. This helps Jamie stay cheery and easygoing. These two young women are close friends, despite their glaring differences.
142	* In ''WebComic/GrrlPower'' this is Sydney to just about every female hero. People with powers are always idealized body types, which apparently includes massive breasts. Even the smallest of the powered heroes, Harem, is a respectable D cup. Most of the rest are in the F range. Peggy (also non-powered) jokes with Sydney about being the "A-Team".
143	* ''Webcomic/LivingWithHipstergirlAndGamergirl'' has the comparison of any of the two female protagonists ([[GodlikeGamer Erika]] and [[{{Hipster}} Sophie]]), who're extroverted and confident MsFanservice girls with big chests, with the petite and flat-chested Elly, who's shy and introverted as [[TheProtagonist Artur]].
144	* The two main female characters in ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' are Suzi "Zii" Nielsen and Desiree [="DiDi"=] Chastel, who share a midtown apartment. Zii is a TankTopTomboy bordering on TheLadette, and has a small bust slightly to her own annoyance (she doesn't like being mistaken for a dude), but is nonetheless headstrong and sexually forward. [=DiDi=] (as in D-cups) is a StatuesqueStunner with prominent breasts, an uninhibited HeadTurningBeauty with both naivety and scruples, who doesn’t have to be as forward as Zii because the men come to her.
145	* ''Webcomic/MierukoChan'': Miko is subdued and constantly stressed out from being a MagneticMedium, and there are several jokes about her ACupAngst compared to her bubbly, extroverted friend Hana.

149	* In ''WesternAnimation/BigMouth'', both Jessi and Missy are flat-chested but are accompanied by Hormone Montresses Connie and Mona, who are noticably curvy. As is standard for teens and their Hormone Monster companions, the teens are sensible yet impressionable, while the Hormone Monsters are wise yet hedonistic.
150	* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', though they don't socialise much, Daria and Jane are very noticeably flatter than Brittany and Quinn is bustier than her older sister.
151	* ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'': [[BadassBookworm Princess Sally]] and [[GirlyBruiser Bunnie Rabbot]] demonstrate a [[DownplayedTrope mild example]] of the trope. Sally is a bookish and serious DeadpanSnarker who tends to be [[InsufferableGenius fairly arrogant]]. Bunnie loves to have fun and is always [[SouthernBelle consummately friendly and polite]]. Between them, there is a [[http://archive.is/83scQ definite]] [[http://archive.is/syf5X contrast]] in bust size: Sally has a [[UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}} very small bust]], sometimes to the point that it's [[http://archive.is/QSEY4 practically]] [[http://archive.is/5SFrX invisible]], while Bunnie has a [[http://archive.is/r5GjK noticeably larger bust]] with defined cleavage. She's also the better fighter of the two.[[note]](The second season contains a few OffModel moments where Sally has [[http://archive.is/z08rx nearly as much bust as Bunnie does.]] In general, though, she's virtually flat-chested, and she [[AvertedTrope doesn't]] have any [[ACupAngst angst]] about this at all.)[[/note]]
152	* In the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "[[Recap/SouthParkS6E10BebesBoobsDestroySociety Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society]]", Bebe starts to grow breasts (she's nine, so they're little more than mosquito bites). The other girls who have yet to develop [[TookALevelInJerkass take a level in jerkass]], while Bebe herself becomes noticeably meeker (seriously, compare her lusting over Kyle in season 2 with how she acts after getting boobs).
