* Seiko from ''[[Used Books]]'' is a great example. She is constantly standing up for people tho others deem as villains. She holds fast that people are [http://www.drunkduck.com/Used_Books/index.php?p=437135 basically good]{{Dead link}}, even if they have done nothing but cause hardship. She also stops in the middle of a battle to [http://www.drunkduck.com/Used_Books/index.php?p=633715 bandage up]{{Dead link}} an enemy someone on her own team just injured.
* Lisa from ''[[Mechagical Girl Lisa A.N.T.]]'' is one of these... only thing is, not only she ''still'' firmly believes her life is a [[Magical Girl]] anime despite all she's been through, but she ''doesn't even cares'' about her robot outfit being actually a [[Humongous Mecha]] for ants.
* Franchesca "Kid" Martines from ''[[Angels 2200]]'' is a textbook example. Not surprisingly, she almost gets booted off the squad when she can't bring herself to fire on an enemy fighter knowing she'd be taking someone else's life.

He's a wildly idealistic kid playing a game that's already [[The End of the World as We Know It|destroyed the Earth and rendering it more or less uninhabitable]], and being constantly accosted by literal [[Troll]]s who continue to call out the fact that the kids fail to win the game and nothing they do will change that. This doesn't seem to deter John in the slightest.
* In ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', Grace is this in all things including [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|nudity]], and so was  {{spoiler|Susan}} before  {{spoiler|1=her [[Mercy Kill]] [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-05-31 of the aberration.] Literally so -- her eyes change into her current half-droopy state when she looks down at his corpse, and while she still [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2008-07-11 has] [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2009-01-22 wide] [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-06-23 eyes] [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2009-02-10 quite] [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-06-30 often], they do tend towards the "half-droopy". After the encounter of a weird kind with Jerry led to [[Freak-Out]], though, she now tends to having wide open eyes more often than not.}}
