Strong relationships, in both TV and real life, thrive on how each member compensates for the other's weaknesses with their own strengths, and vice versa. A Motor Mouth just isn't as funny if he doesn't have the Straight Man to torment. Similarly, only when a sweet, shy person is paired up with an equally jerkish one is their kindness and shyness made all the more noticeable. It is all but guaranteed that the characters' differences will cause more friction than harmony between them. That's what gives the Odd Couple its fuel for Slap-Slap-Kiss, Will They or Won't They?, and Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other situations. Bickering and mushiness in one package. What's not to like? The Odd Friendship also has elements of this, but tends to focus on how the differences make them see each other, and maybe the world, through new eyes. Perhaps the serious one is Not So Above It All, or the Shrinking Violet has an inner strength they never knew they had. A Moe Couplet also does something similar to this, focusing on how each half of the couplet brings out the other's endearing or nurturing traits. About the biggest challenge in creating a day-and-night dynamic is to keep the attract and repel cases relatively balanced. When the pendulum swings too far toward the repel side and the characters seem more interested in torturing each other than helping out, it's no longer cute to watch; it's just masochistic. The key (both in fiction and in Real Life) is to watch the pair's goals. If they want the same thing but use completely different methods to achieve it, it's this trope. If they want different things entirely, it's a divorce waiting to happen. If you add a third-party mediator for balance, you get a Power Trio. If the opposites end up having a kid, then Stern Parent, Doting Parent can ensue, or (in more horrible and cynical instances) a Custody Battle and/or a Loving Parent, Cruel Parent situation. Contrast Birds of a Feather. Compare Too Much Alike. See also Evil Desires Innocence. |

Parodied with Nobby (grotesque and cynical petty thief watchman) and Tawnee (stunningly beautiful and jawdroppingly naive exotic dancer) in Thud!. When Nobby says Tawnee thinks they're "two halves of the same soul", Sergeant Colon thinks about this for a moment and concludes "Yeah. Not the same stuff in each half, obviously. Sort of... sieved." They split up when Tawnee realises she has options and Nobby realises she can't cook. | |

Then, Logan confessed that he loved Quinn, and Quinn reciprocates her feelings publicly. Finally, they kissed in front of everyone. | |

A non-romantic version is described in Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume between court magicians Lieselotte and Rosea. Both were orphans adopted by court mage Lord Cennair and could not be any more different, but that was why they got along. Lieselotte greatly admired Rosea's grace and dignity, whereas Rosea loved Lieselotte's energy and lust for life. When Cennair is killed, each woman believes the other is the guilty culprit, and both were punished for it. The fact that they liked each other so much made the betrayal even more hurtful. And it will end up killing one of them. Or even both. | |

X-Men: Cyclops and Phoenix. He's an emotionally withdrawn introvert control freak and she's fire and life incarnate an outgoing redhead who reads minds. He draws the attentions of at least two other hot and extrovert telepaths, which suggests there's something interesting going on behind that facade... Cyclops' second major love interest, Emma Frost, also qualifies. One's a stoic born leader who grew up in an orphanage, the other's a wealthy, snarky seductress trying to atone for her past villainous deeds. Gambit and Rogue: he's a dashing kinda powerful ex-theif who blows things up by touching them, she's an introvert extremely powerful ex-villain who absorbs people's powers by touching them. They're currently the only X-Men to be Happily Married. Though when you think about it, Rogue and Gambit are kinda similar. Both have brown hair, both worked for Super Villains (Mystique and Mr Sinister respectively) before defecting to the X-Men and both their powers relate to touching things. Their personalities are distinct enough for this trope to work, but the couple are more alike than they know. |

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries has the titular Phryne Fisher, a freewheeling, rule-breaking Lady Detective whose chief interests include solving murders and sleeping with virile young men — in that order. She ends up falling head over fashionable heels in love with her (initially reluctant) partner Detective Inspector Jack Robinson, a stoic, quietly snarky By-the-Book Cop with Hidden Depths galore who is absolutely crazy about her despite — or perhaps because of — the way she exasperates him on a regular basis. | |

Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade: We have Fiora (serious, motherly Pegasus Knight) and Sain (Chivalrous Pervert who mouths off to authority). And if you max out their supports, they get married. Also Fiora's Tsundere and Hot-Blooded middle sister Farina and Sain's Knight in Shining Armor partner Kent. Yup, they can get hitched at A support level too. They even hang a huge lampshade on this: Fire Emblem: Awakening gives us Henry, a Blood Knight and Perpetual Smiler with some VERY loose screws, and two of his potential love interests: Sumia and Olivia. The first one is a klutzy submissive badass, the second is a cute Shrinking Violet. Also Team Dad Frederick and Tomboy Princess Lissa, if paired up. |

Bones: The coldly intelligent, scientific, atheist, hyper-rational titular character and her partner the FBI agent — religious, more emotional, more of a people person. Clearly they complement each other, but each also finds the other fascinating and attractive. Both lampshaded and subverted on the show; Sweets wrote an essay about Booth and Brennan's relationship dynamic called "Opposites Attract", which Gordon Gordon punctured by calmly stating that Booth and Brennan were complementary, not opposites. Angela and Hodgins probably count too. She’s an attractive, outgoing, free spirited artist who wasn’t very well off before coming to work at the lab and Hodgins is a geeky, rather plain scientist who was super rich when they married. |

For the People: Kate and Anya. They're almost complete opposites in both their looks and personality. Kate is a very uptight attorney who always dresses in business attire but also has short hair. Anya's a more loose ATF agent who is usually in casual wear and has long hair. It ends up happening for Roger and Jill despite their opposite political views (not to mention being on opposite sides of the prosecutor/defender divide). |

Early in Ah! My Goddess run, Keiichi was a Chivalrous Pervert wondering what anyone would see in him, and Belldandy was something of an Ingenue. Characterization Marched On, and the two began developing some of the other's persona, so that after the "Lord of Terror" arc, and in the OVA, K1 became a Covert Pervert, and Bell began pouring on the affection nice and thick, frequently expressing her love for Keiichi. About two years after The Movie, sadly, the two were Flanderized to the point where he was afraid to make a move, and she rarely acknowledged their love. | |

iCarly: Deconstructed with the Sam/Freddie arc. They are complete and total opposites that become physically attracted to each other, but eventually break up when the actual relationship fails. They are unable to find any common ground in their interests and actually end up sabotaging them for each other when they try being involved in each other's activities. It ends up being one of the main causes of their break up. | |

No Tomorrow: Evie and Kareema are friends despite being almost totally opposite personalities. Evie's always bright, chipper, and wants a steady, monogamous relationship. Kareema's cynical, snarky and seems to only have casual sex (before meeting Sofia anyway). | |

In The Good Wife the law firm's co-owner Diane Lockhart, who would probably consider the term "liberal wacko" a compliment, is in a relationship with weapons expert Kurt McVeigh, who would likely feel the same about the phrase "right-wing nutjob".

Naruto: Most of the Official Couples, past and future, in the series fit this mold. Hinata is attracted to Naruto, even though she's an overly polite Shrinking Violet with nil self-confidence and whose fighting style is precise and accurate, and he's a complete rude, loud, overly-optimistic Idiot Hero whose fighting style is unorthodox and full of surprises. Naruto eventually falls for her too. Interestingly, only in personality and fighting style do they embody this trope; overall, they more accurately fit Birds of a Feather. Minato and Kushina, the former being a very nice and polite man and the latter being a Hot-Blooded Tomboy. Shikamaru and Temari; he's lazy, calm and prone to doubting himself, while she's an aggressive Action Girl. Sakura, the loud, brash healer from an ordinary family who starts the series quite weak loves the calm, broody Uchiha prodigy Sasuke. The Social Expert Ino with No Social Skills Sai. Dog-lover Kiba starts dating cat-lover Tamaki. |

A somewhat downplayed example in Borderlands 3 has Wainwright Jakobs (the heir to the Jakobs corporation and a homebody) and Sir Hammerlock (a Great White Hunter and an adventure-seeker). This is a major source of drama and in the Guns, Love and Tentacles DLC they both express doubts over not being brave/caring enough for the other. Thankfully they get engaged in the main game credits and the afrorementioned DLC is about their wedding. | |

Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham are harsh polar opposites that complement each other well. Hannibal is stylish, charismatic and severely lacking in empathy, where Will is twitchy, unsociable and overflowing with too much empathy. In the series finale, after years of fighting against and for each other, their relationship evolves into something romantic and they run away together. | |

In Dragon Age: Inquisition, the Iron Bull is a hulking, snarky Qunari warrior who really Does Not Like Magic. Doesn't stop him from entering a romance with an elf or human mage, or with a dwarf (who only comes up to his knees). His people have been at war for ages with Tevinter, the homeland of mustachioed mage Dorian, who can be romanced by a male Inquisitor of any race, including Qunari. If the Inquisitor doesn't romance either of them, they can end up together. | |

Dragon Ball: Goku and Chi-Chi: he's the Idiot Hero son of a low-class mercenary, she's a Tsundere daughter of a Warlord King. Goku and Chi-Chi become more opposite as they grow older, Chi-Chi is a Control Freak who stresses over everything; Goku is a laidback Mellow Fellow who treats home life problems with an "oh well." Despite her anger at Goku's antics, Chi-Chi deeply loves her husband and any threat towards her puts Goku on a Unstoppable Rage. Yamcha and Bulma were originally this: he was shy around beautiful women and easy-going, she was horny around handsome men and possessed a short temper. This gets subverted later as Bulma moves on to Vegeta who's Hot-Blooded like her. Krillin and Android 18 is a gloriously played straight example. He's a 5'0" inch bald Comic Relief fighter, she's a 5'6 inch beautiful haired killer cybernetic Femme Fatale... it works out. Love freak Ribrianne from Super is mystified that someone like 18 could end up with someone like Krillin. When they first met, Gohan and Videl also invoked this along with shades of Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy. The latter was a rash tomboy who gets in way over her head in a desire to prove herself, the former is a shy bookworm who hides his own colossal strength. Unlike Goku and Chi-Chi they get time to develop their relationship before they get married. |

When their relationship began, Starfire and Robin (later Nightwing) were this: Robin was reserved and methodical to Starfire's passionate impulsiveness. As the trope often works in real life, they began to influence each other so that each acquired a level of the other's personality, to the point that their breakup ultimately had Nightwing making an impassioned plea for Starfire to stay and Starfire making the reasoned, logical choice to leave. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion subverts this trope with Asuka and Shinji's relationship. Superficially they seem to be complete opposites; he's a severe Shrinking Violet and she's a extreme Tsundere. But in the later episodes of the series it's revealed that they're ultimately two sides of the same coin; their behaviors both stem from severe abandonment issues and their fears of being hurt by other people, although they deal with it in completely different ways. While he runs away from others, she actively pushes them away. Ultimately, these differences in dealing with the same problem are what prevents them from bonding with each other, when they logically should've easily been able to connect with each other over their shared issues.

Discworld: Captains Carrot Ironfounderson and Angua von Uberwald are on opposite ends of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism. He inspires her to fight injustice, she reminds him not to set his expectations too high. Similarly, in Interesting Times, it's strongly suggested that Wide-Eyed Idealist Twoflower's daughter Pretty Butterfly inherited her Rincewindian view of the world from her late mother. Parodied with Nobby (grotesque and cynical petty thief watchman) and Tawnee (stunningly beautiful and jawdroppingly naive exotic dancer) in Thud!. When Nobby says Tawnee thinks they're "two halves of the same soul", Sergeant Colon thinks about this for a moment and concludes "Yeah. Not the same stuff in each half, obviously. Sort of... sieved." They split up when Tawnee realises she has options and Nobby realises she can't cook. |

Total Drama: Deconstructed with Academic Alpha Bitch Courtney and delinquent punk Duncan. The bitter arguments start up almost as quickly as the sparks fly, with her ultra-preppyness directly contrasting his criminal nature. Their relationship is unstable from the beginning, and they break up and come back together several times. Eventually, the constant arguing becomes too much; Duncan tires of her by season 3 and cheats on her with Goth girl Gwen, leading to his and Courtney's final breakup. Courtney seems to attract these a lot, because later, in Total Drama All-Stars, she enters a relationship with the dirt-poor farmboy Scott. Unlike Duncan however, the two get along much more swimmingly from the get-go (due to Scott finding Courtney's bossiness attractive), but it ultimately proves brief. |

Kitty and Lance are a Dating Catwoman example. One is a sweet, naive uptown Valley girl who is a member of the X-Men, while the other is a grungy, hot-headed and rebellious loner who serves as the field leader of the Brotherhood. |

How to Train Your Dragon plays with this with Hiccup and Astrid. Astrid is The Ace who takes her job very seriously, while Hiccup's skill and physique borders on a physical disability (and he eventually gets an actual one, as well) and he constantly shirks his duties to fellow Deadpan Snarker Gobber. However it becomes clear that they are both passionate, driven individuals who desperately want to groom themselves to fulfill a greater purpose and help people. | |

Homestuck: This is the point of moirallegiance; two moirails are supposed to balance each other's negative traits, thus allowing their other relationships to be more successful and facilitating self-improvement. Vriska and John have some Ship Tease early on, but the ship sinks when John finally realizes how cruel and dangerous Vriska actually is. Deconstructed with Vriska and Tavros Nitram. Vriska is so revolted by her attraction to him that she ends up bullying/stalking him—unable to really love him, but too fixated on her feelings to stay away from him. They do end up together at one point, but soon break up. Deconstructed with Eridan and Feferi's moirallegiance which is similarly ill-fated. They're both high-blooded, given an incredible amount of power over other trolls—but that's where their similarities end. Feferi's a Hot-Blooded optimist who wants to even out Alternia's caste system; Eridan's a spoiled, pessimistic racist with genocidal ambitions. Their relationship is dysfunctional because they can't reconcile their different ideologies. Dirk and Jake are polar opposites in personality, and their differences ultimately lead to a messy breakup. |

In Death: Eve has pointed out that Roarke and her have this between them, like in Divided In Death. She is a cop who is crude, rude, not interested in money, believes in the law, and has morals that are basically black and white. He is a former thief who is suave, charming, has more money than you can imagine, believe more in his conscience than in the law, and his morals are very much grey. Fortunately, one thing they do have in common is that they both were raised by bad parents and had lousy childhoods. | |

In The Order of the Stick, Hayley is The Cynic and has has a bit of a selfish streak. Elan is a Wide-Eyed Idealist who loves being in a team and automatically puts the needs of others before himself. As a result of their relationship, Hayley becomes more open to others (but is still cynical) and Elan becomes less of a Quirky Bard (but is still idealistic). The opposites attract trope is Lampshaded by V, who compares them with Roy and Miko, who, despite their similarities and Roy's initial attraction to Miko, can't stand each other. | |

In My Huntsman Academia, Yang and Izuku are opposites in almost every way imaginable. Izuku is shy and lacking in confidence due to his Broken background, growing up an only child with only his ordinary mother for company because he father is always working overseas. He's extremely driven to achieve his goal of becoming an amazing Huntsman who saves others, but is inexperienced and lagging behind his peers when he comes into Beacon. Yang is proud of both her abilities and her appearance, growing up with her father, a prestigious Huntsman, and her half-sister Ruby because Raven Branwen and Summer Rose both mysteriously vanished when they were young. Yang is much more relaxed and happy to party but lacks a driving goal or dream in her life, being content to simply help her loved ones achieves theirs. They end up becoming close friends and later start dating. | |

Raven and Beast Boy. One is an emotionally unstable daughter of a demon who has a tendency to sometimes turn evil and attack her friends quite frequently, one is a fun-loving, optimistic Manchild who can turn into just about any animal on the planet. Due to Raven's emotional issues and her desire not to harm people she cares about, the two are frequently on/off but always come back to one another due to Beast Boy refusing to take a hint. Prior to the New 52 reboot, Raven had recently made the decision not to ignore or suppress her feelings any longer and to embrace the future with Beast Boy. How they fared may never be known... | |

For example, Roger Ebert hated Mars Attacks! because Tim Burton "seemed to like the aliens more than the humans" (paraphrasing); Gene Siskel loved it for the exact same reason.

Luz being an extremely perky human who wants to make friends with almost everybody and has no natural magical power, while Amity is the extremely gifted but snarky and taciturn ace student. Amity is crushing on Luz before season 1 is even over, and Luz is likewise crushing by the 3rd episode of season 2. There's also Eda Clawthorne and Raine Whispers. Eda is an extroverted wild woman, who rails against authority and despises the Coven system and what it stands for. While Raine is much more reserved, hates attention, and eventually became a full-on Coven head. |

A beautifully tragic and deeply layered version with Guts and Casca from Berserk, Guts grew up subject to cruelty and abuse, living life without any purpose other than warfare. Casca as a girl was saved from abuse and in doing so committed her body and soul to another person. Guts has the willpower to live through all manner of trauma, Casca suffers greatly from every tragedy in her life and cannot resist the pain. That being said, Guts and Casca also subvert this trope, being actually quite similar in many ways: both victims of sexual violence, both look similar (pre-Eclipse), both have scared bodies and both have survived the unimaginable... though at the cost of their mental health. | |

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: At first glance, Kaguya and Shirogane appear to be Birds of a Feather, but as the series goes on it becomes apparent that they're Not So Similar. Their contrast is even a major plot point, since the entire reason they fell in love was they admired virtues in the other that they themselves lacked. Osaragi is quiet and keeps to herself, the exact opposite of her boyfriend Kazeno. Of course, it's likely that she never had any interest in him to begin with and was only dating him so he wouldn't be a threat to Ishigami asking out Tsubame. Once that goal has been achieved, she promptly dumps him. |

Always You: Strange Aeons is a self proclaimed "creature" who makes meme videos and has an eccentric, alternative taste in fashion and pop-culture, while Abby Classic is a "classic woman" who dresses in and preaches about conservative fashion and holds panels featuring other Christian content creators. This is a fic about the two of them falling in love, with Strange in particular being drawn to Abby for reasons even she can't explain. | |

Arcane: Vi and Caitlyn have almost nothing in common and could not be more different from each other if you tried. Vi grew up in the slums, the oldest of her pack of fellow orphan siblings, and is someone who absolutely despises the Enforcers for killing her parents. Caitlyn is the only scion of the powerful and wealthy House Kiramman who choose to become an Enforcer against her parents wishes. Vi's a Boxing Battler while Caitlyn is an excellent shot with a rifle. Even their respective pink and blue hair colors reflect their Red Oni, Blue Oni nature. The initial reasons the two have for working together are wildly divergent, as Caitlyn seeks to bring a criminal conspiracy to justice and recruits Vi from prison who agrees just to get out of there so she can fulfill a deeply personal desire to find her younger sister and get revenge. About the only things they have in common are that they're both ultimately good people and are attractive young women who have an interest in other young women. From the moment they lay eyes on each other there is a very strong mutual attraction between them that only gets stronger as the show goes on. | |

The Didact is a Four-Star Badass in a society of pacifists, who was responsible for destroying humanity's empire and sending us back to earth as cavemen. Everyone lampshades how odd this match is; however, they both love each other fiercely. | |

Our Miss Brooks has three examples of opposites attracting: Snarky Connie Brooks and shy Phillip Boynton. Connie is more perceptive than Mr. Boynton, but several scenes show that they are both kind, generous and intelligent individuals. Connie and Phillip marry at the end of The Movie Grand Finale High-School Hustler and Book Dumb Walter Denton and principal's daughter Book Smart Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold Harriet Conklin. Osgood Conklin, the blustery, pompous school principal. Martha Conklin, his kindly wife . . . who is known to put her foot down on occasion (i.e. "Trying to Pick a Fight"). |

Unfortunately, following her death, Martin has reverted to an irresponsible, selfish Manchild, and the Blyndeff family has gone from being stable despite "two broken support beams" to just being broken. | |

Subverted in an episode of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. Ned tries find morose Mark Downer a friend and, inspired by his science teacher's advice that "opposites attract", tries to pair him with Martin Querly, only for Martin to fall victim to his contagious depression. Ned then gets an idea from his math teacher's advice that "a negative times a negative equals a positive" and pairs Mark with a just-as-morose girl, which works. | |

Gambit and Rogue: he's a dashing kinda powerful ex-theif who blows things up by touching them, she's an introvert extremely powerful ex-villain who absorbs people's powers by touching them. They're currently the only X-Men to be Happily Married. Though when you think about it, Rogue and Gambit are kinda similar. Both have brown hair, both worked for Super Villains (Mystique and Mr Sinister respectively) before defecting to the X-Men and both their powers relate to touching things. Their personalities are distinct enough for this trope to work, but the couple are more alike than they know. | |

Twenties: Hattie, a working class Butch Lesbian who is deep in debt constantly losing jobs, often semi-homeless and has a plain-spoken manner, gets involved with Ida B, a wealthy executive who's got a very femme style with very refined taste. She's also Hattie's former boss, starting to date her right after she had fired Hattie to boot. | |

Mulan and Shang in Mulan II. She's a rebellious, free-spirited warrior and he's a stern, no-nonsense captian. Throughout the sequel, their differences (coupled with Mushu trying to break them up) nearly ruin their engagement, but they manage to find the balance necessary to make it work. | |

Brave: King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Fergus is your typical boisterous Fiery Redhead while Elinor is the graceful, proper queen. Their dynamic is one reason why the kingdom stays together: he's the man-of-action and natural leader in wartime, she's the natural diplomat who can calm feuding factions in peacetime. | |

Warm, passionate, generally friendly, closer to Earth Wonder Woman and cold, stoic, anti-social, sometimes arrogant Batman on Justice League. The interesting part is that their oppositions also extend to where they break from their archetype. Batman is still an antisocial antihero, and Wonder Woman plays the role of an idealistic paragon, but out of the two Batman abides a moral compass much more than Wonder Woman, as he's never considered killing anyone and there have been times that she's come dangerously close to punching a hole in at least a few of the villains. | |

Parodied in Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei. The first episode plays romantic music when Nozomu first meets Kafuka, and text scrawls across the screen, "A man who is negative about everything; a girl who is positive about everything; a meeting that never should have happened." This gets further parody in a later episode showing Nami's first meeting with Kiri, playing the same music and displaying the message "A girl who refuses to come to school; a girl who refuses to leave school; a meeting that never should have happened." The series end with Nozomu and Kafuka pairing becomes canon because of this particular reason, even though Kafuka is six feet under before the series even started. | |

The Dangers in My Heart: Ky�tar� Ichikawa is a relatively short middle school boy, while Anna Yamada has been incredibly tall for her age since elementary school. Ichikawa doesn't smile or talk all that much, is pessimistic, sarcastic (mostly in inner monologue), diligent and very observant. Yamada is cheerful, outgoing, clumsy, ditzy, prone to teasing, and may tend to take longer to read the room than him. He's mature and insightful for his age, while she's physically mature but childish to the point where Ichikawa compares her to a grade schooler. He spends his time isolated (Aside from when he's hanging out with Yamada) and his interests lay in rather macabre subjects, while she regularly chats with her friends, eats snacks in private, or makes up games on the spot (Mainly to engage with Ichikawa and find out more about him). | |

In Kimagure Orange Road, the relationship between Kyousuke and Madoka hits several notes for this trope. He is from the middle class while Madoka is a Yamanote Girl. Madoka is incredibly talented in many respects; artistic, scholastic and athletic while Kyosuke is a Ridiculously Average Guy. Their relationship inverts the gender dynamic in the Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl with Madoka having the dark moods. Also they gender invert the Magical Girlfriend trope; its Kyosuke who has supernatural powers but keeps Madoka in the dark about them. | |

Richard and Nicole are Foolish Husband, Responsible Wife, what with him being a Fat Idiot rabbit to her Only Sane Woman cat. Gumball Watterson is a self-centered cat who's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold at the best of times, whereas his girlfriend Penny is a Nice Girl antlered peanut. Darwin is a Cheerful Child goldfish, while his ghostly girlfriend Carrie is the resident Emo Teen. |

Game of Thrones: The Starks and Baratheons have almost nothing in common. Robert Baratheon (oldest son, groomed for command, irresponsible leader) is best buds with Ned Stark (younger son, groomed as a soldier, responsible leader). Both get arranged marriages. Ned's works, Rob's... doesn't. The Baratheons hate each other, but the Starks love each other. They're still almost allies until Renly dies. This dynamic even carries over to Arya and Gendry. They'd both rather have the opposite life of what they have at the start, and end up backing each other up. And while Arya is uncompromising in pursuing her dream, Gendry is willing to take what breaks he can get. | |

Ryuko and Mako in Natural Selection. Ryuko is a foul-mouthed, crude, moody, bloodthirsty tyrant who descends from the wealthiest, most powerful family on the planet, while Mako is a loving, cheerful, passive girl who lived in the slums most of her life. Needless to say, they are as opposite as you can get, but they're clearly shown to love each other all the same. | |

Spider-Man: Would you ever believe the shy nerdy wallflower Peter Parker to end up married to the outgoing party girl Mary Jane Watson? Well it happened. Actually when MJ first saw Mr. Parker, she was going though her troubled home life and empathized with the lonely looking Peter. So they're similar after all. Morbius and his fiancée Martine are this, both in appearance and personality. Morbius himself even wonders out loud how "an out and about society girl" could fall in love with "a morose scientist who can't stand the sun", saying even he doesn't have a hypothesis for that one. |

Bailey is his kind, patient neighbor who's never been in a relationship or had sex before and geeks out over everything bird-related. Each of them end up being exactly what the other needs. | |

Young Justice: Goofy, happy go lucky Wally West/Kid Flash and focused, rough and tumble Artemis Crock. Ironically, the writers paired them up because of their similarities — namely, they're both intelligent, yet insecure teenage heroes who resort to sarcasm and bravado to hide how much they care about each other, and are somewhat amused by the fandom latching on to them as part of this trope. From the same series, moody, emotionally stunted Superboy and perky, outgoing Miss Martian. |

Good Omens (2019): Aziraphale, an angel (who’s a little bit bad) and Crowley, a demon (who’s a little bit good), who develop quite a bit of a forbidden romance over the course of six thousand years. Aziraphale is the kind of immortal that is stuffy and stuck in the past, in addition to his generally friendly demeanor, whereas Crowley is constantly changing, always modernizing, and more abrasive on the surface. Aziraphale’s bookshop is cluttered with books and knickknacks everywhere you look, while Crowley’s flat is barren (which serves to contrast Heaven’s barrenness and Hell’s overcrowding problem, respectively). That said, both vastly prefer Earth and humanity’s offerings to what Heaven and Hell provide, both are somewhat morally gray, and neither are exactly what their head offices want them to be. Unfortunately, while Crowley is much more cynical of said head offices and more inclined to run away from problems, Aziraphale is more trusting of them and more likely to face problems head-on, which ultimately forces them to separate at the end of season 2 when Aziraphale returns to take charge of Heaven. Humans Maggie and Nina from series 2. Nina is a grouchy, no-nonsense cynic, coffee shop owner, and object of affection for Maggie, the more forward and emotional record seller. Although Nina returns Maggie’s interest, they both agree that Nina needs time to heal from her previous toxic relationship before they can get off on the right footing. |

Diana Lombard is a 16 year old girl who is mature and an intellectual, while Danny is a 14 year old who is more laidback and easy going. Phantasma is a full-ghost who is energetic, wild and expressive, while Danny is a more reserved and down to Earth half-ghost. |

Mille and Iriana of Ilivais X. Iriana is a Broken Bird Creepy Child who acts like an Emotionless Girl to avoid her Drive Core pushing her towards being a hyper Love Freak, and is highly logical and cynical, yet becomes surprisingly impassioned and devoted when those she cares about are in danger. Mille is essentially a blank slate Phonos Weapon in the form of a cheerful, lively, and outgoing Ethical Slut who's a little on the ditzy side and erratically emotional, but take Iriana from her and she becomes dark and sullen. They couldn't be more opposite, and they couldn't be crazier about each other. | |

Teen Titans: When their relationship began, Starfire and Robin (later Nightwing) were this: Robin was reserved and methodical to Starfire's passionate impulsiveness. As the trope often works in real life, they began to influence each other so that each acquired a level of the other's personality, to the point that their breakup ultimately had Nightwing making an impassioned plea for Starfire to stay and Starfire making the reasoned, logical choice to leave. Raven and Beast Boy. One is an emotionally unstable daughter of a demon who has a tendency to sometimes turn evil and attack her friends quite frequently, one is a fun-loving, optimistic Manchild who can turn into just about any animal on the planet. Due to Raven's emotional issues and her desire not to harm people she cares about, the two are frequently on/off but always come back to one another due to Beast Boy refusing to take a hint. Prior to the New 52 reboot, Raven had recently made the decision not to ignore or suppress her feelings any longer and to embrace the future with Beast Boy. How they fared may never be known... |

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: It's been more or less confirmed that Sea Hawk, a boisterous, over-the-top man whose emotions are very close to the surface, and Mermista, a Deadpan Snarker who regularly groans bitterly, are an item, despite Mermista's best efforts to pretend otherwise. Word of God has stated that they're "kind of a garbage couple", but Sea Hawk's over-the-top nonsense helps bring her out of her shell, while her snark keeps him grounded. While they have not become romantically involved just yet, Hordak and Entrapta have demonstrated attraction for each other, with Hordak pining for Entrapta throughout season 4. The cheerful, optimistic, loud Entrapta and the sinister, moody, introverted Hordak have a surprising amount of chemistry and common ground. |

Achilles's codex in Hades notes that stoic, prickly, duitiful Thanatos is pretty obviously in love with his defiant, reckless foster brother, Zagreus despite their diametrically opposed dispositions.

The Legend of Korra: Hotheaded, headstrong waterbender Korra and serious, collected firebender Mako, who fit several of the dynamics listed: Red Oni, Blue Oni (Korra's red, Mako's blue, despite their Chromatic Arrangement), The Hero + The Lancer, Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl, and possibly Uptight Loves Wild. Ultimately deconstructed as their opposite natures (as well as tense situations) end up pushing them apart. They do manage to remain friends however. Same goes for Mako's brother, Bolin, for one of Korra's cousins, Eska. Bolin is a happy, funny guy who took a serious interest in Eska while Eska herself is a bit of an emotionless Deadpan Snarker and a Royal Brat who sees Bolin as a means to an end. They're more like Plucky Comic Relief + The Quiet One. Same as Korra and Mako, they don't work out. As of the finale tomboyish, technologically-stunted, Boisterous Bruiser Master-Of-All-Four-Elements Korra, and The Ojou, feminine, Wrench Wench non-bender Asami Sato. |

San Amaro Investigations: Protagonists Nick and Parker. Nick is an upper class alchemist from a powerful family and a By-the-Book Cop; Parker is a working class PI raised in the foster care system by a witch foster mother and is a displaced fae. Despite significant differences in temperament and personality, they do love each other a lot and welcome the changes the other brings to their life. In book 5, a man is sent specifically to seduce Nick, who is like him in all ways (same interests, social status, social circles, etc), which not only is uninteresting to Nick, Nick actually finds him to be a bit annoying despite Parker's spikes in jealousy. | |

Another Brazilian song, "Eduardo e Mônica", written by Renato Russo and recorded by his band Legião Urbana, brings the titular couple: they have different ages (she's a few years older than him) and tastes (her tastes are more sophisticated, while his are much simpler). Regardless of all differences between them, they build a solid relationship, living together and having twin children. The song originated a stage play, a TV ad and a film, starring Alice Braga as Mônica. | |

The Sun Is Also a Star: Daniel and Natasha have this in many ways. He is more likely to go with his feelings, and also believes in things like fate. She is more intellectual, disbelieving in that idea because there isn't scientific evidence of it. Even so, she's charmed by him and his bet that he can make her fall for him within an hour actually works. | |

Ignatius J. Reilly and Myrna Minkoff of A Confederacy of Dunces. Him: fat, stentorian (if hypocritical) in his morality, obsessed with chastity, an archconservative—nay, reactionary!—who believes Western civilization took a wrong turn at the Renaissance and longs for an authoritarian king and authoritarian Catholic Church. Her: thin, stentorian in her love of sex, believing that the world in general and Ignatius in particular is perfectible through sex, an archliberal—nay, radical!—who believes in revolutionary socialism and racial (and gender) equality, and who long ago abandoned her ancestral Judaism for—something. It isn't clear what (other than sex). They engage in a fevered exchange of letters that has all readers firmly convinced that they are in fact almost exactly the same despite appearances and perfect for each other. By the end of the novel, Ignatius has agreed to go to New York with Myrna. | |

Ted and Robin in How I Met Your Mother. Ted is the Dogged Nice Guy who is a romantic, wants to settle down and have kids and Robin is The Lad-ette who is a gun nut, hates commitment and kids, focuses on her career. The show deconstructs their relationship where they did get together but by the time they talked about their goals, they want different things which resulted to their break-up and remained friends. After a few years, Ted is still in love with Robin which one of his ex-girlfriends pointed out that he's unable to move on due to his unrequited feelings for her while Robin herself did move on. In the series finale, it's implied that now-widower and single dad Ted and the divorced and single Robin got together. | |

The two villains are night and day, with Venomous being calm, collected, slim, specializing in more biological science and is a well-respected villain. While Boxman is chunky, short, very loud, specializes in robotics and is seen as a joke by most serious villains. Despite a rough start, the two form a Villainous Friendship that is all but stated to eventually become a romance, as they're both seen wearing wedding rings during the Grand Finale. | |

Upgrade (2018): Grey Trace - a techno-phobic vintage automechanic - is happily married to High-Powered Career Woman Asha, a cybernetics exec. As the film is set in the near-future, playful clashes over automation and AI tech are a running part of their day-to-day; Grey even suggests making a pizza from scratch for fun over Asha's casual notion of ordering/3D-printing one. | |

The show Dharma & Greg revolves around this trope. Dharma is a free-spirited, tolerant, and ditzy flower child. While Greg is an upright, conservative, somewhat uptight lawyer. Despite the fact that they have virtually nothing in common they got married on their first date. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the seventh season the very Betazoid Deanna Troi began pairing up with the very Klingon Worf, son of Mogh. This is first explored in the episode Paralles, where Worf travels to a number of alternate realities, the last two of which show Worf and Troi as husband and wife. Upon his return to his home universe Worf becomes closer to Troi. A Worf/Troi romance is further explored in the episode Eye of the Beholder, and by the series finale All Good Things the pair are actually dating. However, sometime before Worf's joining Star Trek: Deep Space Nine the couple have broken off their romantic relationship and are just friends again. Worf meanwhile marries Jadzia Dax while Riker and Troi resume their previous romantic relationship, and later themselves get married. | |
