Line 3:
If you want to give a female character an air of youthful femininity, give her some stuffed animals that she keeps in her room or carries around. Dolls simply won't do, it has to be stuffed animals. Anything from Teddy Bears to [[
Although that also means immature in a lot of cases. In fiction, it's often the most girlie or bratty female that still has them. In [[Real Life]] Japan, some women carry them around to try to remain [[Kawaiiko]] for fear of becoming a [[Christmas Cake]].

** Chiharu is also shown to have a varied collection {{spoiler|before her house is set [http://img-a.onemanga.com/mangas/00000057/000330422/05.jpg ablaze] by her parents' attempt at their next job.}}
* In ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]'', Triela collects stuffed bears. Plays with the trope because Triela is the most grown-up of the child cyborg assassins (into her teens). At first she is dismissive of them (since they show that her handler really doesn't understand that she's growing up). Later they become something of a touchstone for her.
* ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'''s Mitsukuni "Honey" Haninozuka is a rare male example. He never goes anywhere without his precious stuffed rabbit Usa-chan, despite the fact he's a high school senior. It adds to his [[Token Mini
* Another male example is Dr. Ni Jianyi of ''[[Saiyuki|Saiyuki Reload]]'', who carries around a stuffed rabbit doll at all times {{spoiler|which is later revealed to be a [[Chekhov's Gun]].}}
* [[Depraved Homosexual|Grell Sutcliff]] of the ''[[Black Butler (Manga)|Black Butler]]'' series could also qualify, as he is often depicted in [[Splash Panel|Splash]] [http://static.minitokyo.net/view/32/11/485582.jpg Pages] holding a [[Creepy Doll]] version of [[Foe Yay|Sebastian]]. This is taken further in the second season of the anime, wherein Grell is shown holding a Sebastian plush which he kisses before placing among doll versions of Ciel and Alois. He then proceeds to viciously destroy the latter dolls with his chainsaw "scythe."

* Monica of ''[[Monica's Gang]]'' is always carrying her plush bunny ([[Improbable Weapon User|which is her]] [[Weapon of Choice]] against <s>villains</s> [[Hair
* In ''Hate'', Buddy goes on a [[Blind Date]] with a lonely career woman who micromanages every aspect of their date and insists on having her way in all things. When they go back to her apartment, one of the first things Buddy notices is her large stuffed animal collection.
* [[Empowered (Comic Book)|Empowered]], despite being a superheroine, has Mellow Mr. Monkey, which keeps her bad dreams away. {{spoiler|She thinks, but it doesn't really work.}}

* Sarah of ''[[Labyrinth (Film)|Labyrinth]]'' has lots of them, but later realizes [[
* One of the ''[[DEBS|D.E.B.S.]]'' has a teddy bear to serve as a gun stand. She is often portrayed as [[The Ditz]].
* Mandy in ''Animal House'', including one choked and punched by her boyfriend Greg.
Line 138:
* Terezi of ''[[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Homestuck]]'' has many dragon plushies of various colors scattered around her treehive. In her introduction, she is shown pretending to be an [[Amoral Attorney]] prosecuting one of her plushies in a [[Kangaroo Court]], and hanging it from her tree. The camera zooms out to reveal at least a dozen other stuffed dragons who shared the same fate.
** Several others form the backbone of her legal and forensic support team. Which doesn't rule out the suspicion that they squeazled their way onto said team to subvert the investigation from the inside.
** [[Strange Girl|Jade]] also has a sizable collection of [[
* Jodie from ''[[Loserz]]'' still loves her teddy bear. [http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/335 See here.]
* In ''[[Freefall (Webcomic)|Freefall]]'', Helix is generally referred to as male, but still loves those [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1200/fv01108.htm stuffed animals], which Florence has borrowed from time to time for herself.
Line 152:
* In ''[[Danny Phantom (Animation)|Danny Phantom]]'', Jazz has a few stuffed animals in her room. The most significant is Bearbert which plays a plot point in one episode as one of the few ties she has left of her childhood. Because she viewed herself as an adult-stuck-in-a-teen's-body, her younger brother Danny had to childishly destroy the bear in order for her to throw a temper tantrum so she can see the Youngblood, [[By the Eyes of The Blind|a ghost kid only seen by children]].
* Subverted on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''. Jimmy and Beezy find out that [[Enfant Terrible|Heloise]] has an entire collection of dolls, causing everyone to laugh at her. {{spoiler|Turns out they're [[Hollywood Voodoo]] dolls}}.
* In ''[[Batman:
