Line 6:
On the first arrival at the city, may be dazzled by the luxury of city life. [[Welcome to the Big City]] or discovering the shallowness of the [[Life of the Party]] will soon cure her; in a single story, she will wisely head back to the countryside, or tragically die, trapped by disease, pregnancy, or despair, but in a continuing one, she will mature into the level-headed version.
The female '''Country Mouse''' often becomes the target of the [[Rich Bitch]].
Frequently overlaps with [[Naive Newcomer]].

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==▼
▲== [[Anime]] ==
* Soah from the manhwa ''[[The Bride of the Water God]]'', literally a country girl forced to live with the palace intrigues of both Habaek the Water God, and the Emperor's Court.
* Hagumi of ''[[Honey and Clover]]'' is actually nicknamed "Nezumi" (mouse) by one of the other characters. While it is mostly a reflection of her artist's character that she cannot properly socialize in the university environs, her deficiency is made greater by her back-country origins, and despite prodigious talent and constant encouragement towards fame, she wants nothing more than to return to the countryside.
Line 46 ⟶ 45:
* Sylvia Plath's ''The Bell Jar'' centres around Esther Greenwood and her failure to cope with New York City.
* José Antonio from the Chilean novel ''Golondrina de Invierno'' ("Winter Swallow").
* ''[[Discworld]]'':
** An element of Carrot's personality in ''[[Guards! Guards!]]'', before he starts fitting into the city [[Rightful King Returns|as if he was born to it]].
** Imp in the first few scenes of ''[[Soul Music (novel)|Soul Music]]''.
** Noticeably absent on Granny Weatherwax's visits to the Great Wahoonie, since she assumes it's the city's job to fit round ''her'', not the other way round.
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Kenneth the page from ''[[30
* Fred on ''[[Angel]]'' definitely qualifies.
* Woody Boyd from ''[[Cheers]]'', from rural Indiana.
Line 56 ⟶ 58:
** Saffron appears to be this at first.
* Gomer Pyle, of ''[[Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.]]''.
* Radar O'Reilly from ''[[
* ''[[Remember WENN]]'' had Betty Roberts of Elkhart, Indiana.
* Penny from ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'', from Nebraska. The contrast here is not so much urban/rural as it is book smarts/street smarts.
Line 89 ⟶ 91:
* An oldish kid's TV show, ''Country Mouse & City Mouse''.
* [[Pocahontas]] in ''Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World''.
* Korra of ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' has this trait highlighted in "Welcome to Republic City," when she travels from her remote home at [[
==
* A Real Life Example is Kondo Isami, Commander of [[The Shinsengumi]]. While far from uncultured, Kondo is reported to often find himself out of his depth in political matters and the bureaucracy that heading up the capital's police force entailed. He is also described as having a great sense of honor and an inherent and very humble moral superiority.
* Another [[Real Life]] example: Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, better known as [[The Pope|Pope Pio X.]]
