The female zombie Angela Mason in " Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" is quite attractive, apart from the "homicidally jealous" part.

Xombie has Nephthys, a Seductive Mummy who is the resident Ms. Fanservice in the show. This is lampshaded in Chapter 5 of the original web series, when Zoe compares her to Dirge (who, while ripped, has a skull-like face). Shantae: Rottytops is drawn in the same cute anime girl style as the rest of the female cast, albeit with green skin and a stapled on arm and leg. The games establish that zombies are divided between the traditional mindless undead, and those who are able to hold on to decent chunk of their humanity thanks to the power of coffee, with Rottytops and her family falling into the latter category. While Rotty's older brothers are more monstrous, Abner is still a bit of a looker, and there are other zombie NPCs (such as a pair of siblings in Seven Sirens) who look completely normal aside from the green skin and stitches. Sally from The Demon Collector by Jon Mayhew is a quite attractive revenant girl; there is no romance between her and the protagonist, but they establish a friendship.

She seems to cherish her undead state (mainly because it keeps her from aging and losing her good looks) and repeatedly refuses the possibility of resurrection.

In the most general sense, "zombie" may apply to any living dead creature that is not incorporeal, does not drink blood, and is not wrapped in bandages. Series 9 of Doctor Who ends with companion Clara Oswald Killed Off for Real, but she receives a temporary delay in her death which renders her technically undead with no life functions, though with her personality and soul still intact. This has no impact on her attractiveness; in fact, it is stated that due to her new state, she will never age, therefore remaining as a beautiful woman in her late 20s effectively forever. She can also move her spirit into another body. She pushes the spirit of the other body out of it and inhabits the new body. She can transform that new body into her own body. She can fuse other body parts to her own body, such as new arms when her own were ripped off. Paraiso Street features Rosita, a ghost stitched into the corpse of her sister. According to Gallows Charlie, a sorcerer who creates such zombies for cash, the operation gives the dead control of all the corpse’s bodily functions, prevents rot, and only becomes noticeable when they don’t age. This also creates certain issues, in that a person may not be aware that their partner is dead, and that even the dead themselves might occasionally forget it.

Ayumu from Is This A Zombie? has at least five girls in love with him (only one of which doesn't know that he's a member of the undead). Moreover, while vampires represent the archetype of a corrupt aristocrat, zombies, with their tattered clothes, bare feet, wild desires, and freedom from social conventions, can be associated with hippies and similar "alternative lifestyle" subcultures. For this reason, such characters often have nonconformist and taboo-breaking (sometimes sexually nonconformist) overtones. Their attitude to their undead status may vary: some of them dream of becoming human or of resting in peace, while others are perfectly happy being the way they are, and find advantages in it (sometimes they would even refuse to become living humans again when given such a possibility).
