* In [[Kanon]], Makoto suffers from this. It turns out that {{spoiler|Makoto was actually a fox, and she picked up the name because when Yuichi was younger, he took care of the injured fox, and told it that Makoto Sawatari was the name of a girl he liked at the time}}, then had to abandon her when she got better and he had to leave the town he was visiting during summer vacation. When Yuichi comes back to live in the town 7 years later, he runs into her {{spoiler|fox form}} again, and she makes a wish that {{spoiler|allows her to turn into a human girl}}. Unfortunately, the wish has 2 catches to it. The first is that {{spoiler|it'll cause her to lose her memory}}, and the second one is {{spoiler|that it'll eventually take her life away.}} As Yuichi gradually opens up to her, she begins to forget ever {{spoiler|being a human}} and gradually gets sicker. Her strong feelings for him allow her a small [[Hope Spot]], but eventually {{spoiler|[[Tear Jerker|she dies, or rather, fades away]]}}.
