He even \\\'\\\'apologizes for swearing\\\'\\\' after literally saying \\\"boo\\\" and can\\\'t bring himself to say anything harsher to Ralph than that he is \\\"so \\\'\\\'cross\\\'\\\'\\\" with him for endangering the entire arcade. He also doesn\\\'t hesitate to put himself in danger to protect others and feels duty-bound to help fix the damage Ralph has unintentionally caused by jumping games.

%% * Collins Tuohy from \'\'Film/TheBlindSide\'\'.
* Cher Horowitz from \'\'Film/{{Clueless}}\'\' is nearly the [[TropeNamers Trope Namer]]. She\'s wealthy, stylish, and rules the school with an iron fist, but it\'s an iron fist tempered with sweetness. She even attempts to play matchmaker to a couple of nerdy teachers. The film is an updated version of Creator/JaneAusten\'s \'\'Literature/{{Emma}}\'\', who was practically the [[TropeMakers Trope Maker]].
* Elle Woods from \'\'Film/LegallyBlonde\'\'. Shallow, rich, beautiful, and fashionable, yes. However, she\'s also very sweet, fiercely loyal to her friends, and smart enough to get into law school. When she goes to Harvard Law, she doesn\'t judge people who in turn judge her and presume she\'s a walking stereotype of dumb blonde. She later becomes friendly with several of them.
* Phyllis Nefler (played by Shelley Long) from \'\'Film/TroopBeverlyHills\'\' is a stereotypical spoiled Beverly Hills housewife who cares very much for the girls of the troop she leads. She is also genuinely heartbroken over the impending end of her marriage and her soon-to-be ex-husband\'s new girlfriend. When Velda, an enemy troop leader who has constantly put down and sabotaged Phyllis\'s troop, [[spoiler:is injured and abandoned by her own troop during the Wilderness Girl Jamboree race, Phyllis and her troop carry Velda to the finish line.]]
