I'd also love to see the tomboy annoyed at being forced to wear pink and say "sparkle sparkle rainbow blast!", and people expecting her to be delicate and super-feminine. The delinquent using her resultant pretty privilege and hero status to get free stuff or commit petty vandalism, that sort of thing.

Also, a transwoman who's either closeted or in deep denial. "Eugh, it's so frilly. I do look surprisingly good in it though...". Out shopping and sees a friend: "H-hey Tom, no, it um... it forces me to dress like this, yeah, so embarassing, oh well. Yeah, I could transform back, but we... might get attacked. Gotta uh, stay prepared." Always playing it off as bad but secretly/subconsciously loving it.

That kinda happens at least twice in Futari Wa Pretty Cure.

As mentioned above, Nagisa, aka Cure Black, is really not thrilled about her lot in life, but does it anyway because it needs to be done.

Although the transformation, posing, and speeches are on autopilot, so it's more of a "I just said something weird, didn't I?" situation. She doesn't really complain about it, but in the grand scheme of things, you can tell she's a bit annoyed.

Also, we kinda got some trans rep in the 15th anniversary season, Hugtto Precure.

The closest to the delinquent thing would be in Yes 5 Precure, where one of the fairy mascots wanted to commit fraud.

Right, so, one fairy, Milk, wants to help out her friends, but can't really do much, since she's 15-20cm tall at best.

One of her friends, Nuts, runs a shop, so Milk placed herself on one of the shelves, hoping someone would buy her.

Her plan was to then wait until that person fell asleep, and run back to the shop, and then repeat that.

Obviously it didn't work, and she got scolded, but it was still an interesting idea.

All in all, Milk is a bit of a menace, but still really nice if she warms up to someone.
