Line 63:
* Verbal Kint in ''The Usual Suspects'' has exactly this relationship to Kaiser Sozye...but there's more to it.
* Susie, the narrator of ''[[The Lovely Bones]]'', is dead and in heaven. Most of the book is her following her friends and family as they deal with her death and move on, as well as the man who raped and killed her.
* [[Robert A. Heinlein]] may have been trying to do this in his novel ''[[Podkayne
* Leo Borlock, the narrator of ''[[Stargirl]]'' by Jerry Spinelli, is a [[First-Person Peripheral Narrator]] for the title character.
* All four narrators of ''[[The Sound and The Fury]]'' are intended to be this, as William Faulkner always said the book was really about Caddy. However, it's an unusual example of this trope because Caddy's barely there to be seen even through the eyes of the other characters -- it's mostly about the impact her actions have had on the family.
Line 168:
* Crono from ''[[Chrono Trigger]]''. While he is certainly the protagonist, for the whole game he is a silent protagonist who simply is there to observe the decisions of his party and go along with them. The 'real' characters and character development happens to those around him.
** Well, minus ...{{spoiler|Vainly attempting to stop Lavos from killing all his friends [[And Zoidberg|and Magus]] and dying in a [[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}. That scene alone basically gives him some kind of characterization even if he's Silent, not unlike the Persona
* [[Legacy Character|The various]] Links act as this, but especially in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]'', where the [[NPC|NPCs]] are given an unusual amount of in depth characterization.
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' too. Link just serves as an action guy for the real focus of the game: [[The Imp|Midna]].
