{{examples}}

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* Subverted in ''[[Black Butler]]''. Doll, aside from not being the eldest (though that is justified due to her elder "siblings" being [[Genre Blind]]), gives Ciel help, covers for him, and fits this trope to a T {{spoiler|before Ciel goes into an episode and orders for her death.}}

* Akechi Kogoro had several as well, including Yoshio Kobayashi, [[Shotacon|who later became famous for something else entirely]].

* ''[[Solar Pons]]'' has the Praed Street Irregulars.

** Sometimes members of the Beggar's Guild, although largely adults and therefore on the very fringes of the trope, act as this for Lord Vetinari as one of many information-gathering channels (it's implied that someone who may in some small way be connected to him spreads rumors that he pays for information, so that they'll come volunteer it to him instead of him needing to send someone looking). It's implied Vimes occasionally gets information from them as well.

* Ostap Bender from Ilya Ilf and Eugene Petrov's ''[[The Twelve Chairs]]'' employed them to track one of the titular, possibly treasure-holding chairs.
