Lonely Rich Kid: Difference between revisions

* Christopher "Chris" Thorndyke in ''[[Sonic X]]'', even though his grandfather is around most of the time and he has several friends at school.

* Aversion: Mihama Chiyo out of ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'' is shown as by far the richest of the girls, and has other reasons that she'd be isolated ... and is of course one of the happiest and most well-liked of her class. Not insanely happy, but generally [[Cheerful Child|cheerful]]. Granted, the audience never sees her parents, but they're never implied to be ''gone'', just offscreen.

* Extra points for ''[[Great Teacher Onizuka]]''. Nanako's parents started out poor and nice and became less pleasant as they got rich. The protagonist solves the family problem without bankrupting them, however. With a sledgehammer.

** A number of characters including Urumi and Miyabi fit the bill as well. While their parents aren't gone {{spoiler|except Urumi, who doesn't know her father as anything more than a sperm donor}}, they're emotionally detached from them to the point they act out. Granted they have more issues than just this trope, but ''GTO'' prefers a cornucopia of issues for its characters.
