* In ''[[Berserk]]'', we meet a little girl named Rosine, a bright, imaginative child with a terrible [[Abusive Parents|home life.]] Her favorite fairy tale was about an a boy by the name of Pirkaf, who while loved by his parents never fit in amongst humans and eventually came believe he was a elf (due to being in similar appearance) and ran off to live with them.

Upon hearing this Pirkaf runs back home only to find mysterious forest had sprung up overnight, caused by the Elves' anger over no one mentioning how they saved the boy's life, and Pirkaf-- now completely alone-- wept and wept.}} |
