Line 13:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Miyuki Takara of ''[[Lucky Star]]'': Her ability to (almost) always have information relevant to the subject of conversation earned her the [[
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"|Shezka]] from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' remembers every little thing she reads, logically resulting in Encyclopedic Knowledge being mixed with a good dose of Human Data Storage.
* ''[[Bakemonogatari

Line 29:
* In ''[[The Dresden Files]]'', the girl Harry calls "Ivy" is The Archive of all magical knowledge. If you write it down, she can see it.
== [[Live
* ''[[Bones]]'' has Mr. Nigel-Murray who spouts off random facts as a way to keep himself focused.
* ''[[John Doe]]'' has this [[Up to Eleven]], for supernatural reasons. Supposedly he is actually omniscient, but in practice his knowledge is limited to things that could be learned via research.
Line 39:
'''Morgan''': Once more for those of us who don't have an encyclopedic memory? }}
* ''[[CSI]]''. Two words: Gil Grissom. Ray and DB have gotten into the act a little bit since Grissom's departure, but they can't compete with Gil.
* Mac from ''[[CSI: NY]]'' is another case. It doesn't matter what unusual hobby the victim had, Mac is well versed in it.

The only subversion is that she really ''is'' a [[Brainy Brunette]] with a veritable cornucopia of knowledge on most subjects (to the point that in the final battle, she expresses surprise that {{spoiler|[[Dual Boss|Death is actually teaming up with Dracula]]}} since she never read about it in her books).

* [[Tv Tropes Will Enhance Your Life|Many (if not the vast majority of) tropers on this very wiki would almost certainly qualify,]] purely by virtue of spending so much time learning so many different trivial details about so many different things for the lulz of it.▼

Line 63 ⟶ 60:
* Tom on ''[[The Amazing Chan and The Chan Clan]]'', most notably in episodes 14 and 16.
* The [[Transformers]] have the Autobot Rewind, whose entire personality shtick is that he loves collecting trivial factoids about anything and everything.

** Now that we've patted ourselves on the back... If you want the title, you have to work ''constantly'' at keeping that information current, considering how [[History Marches On]], [[Science Marches On]], [[Society Marches On]], [[Time Marches On]], [[Technology Marches On]], and so on.
