Line 6:
A nut who follows the main characters everywhere out of obsessive admiration, either causing trouble or just creeping them out. Extreme loony fans may go to great lengths and evil deeds to [[Psycho Supporter|"help" the hero they idolize]]. They take their eventual rejection very personally. Occasionally this character will really go off the deep end and attempt to ''replace'' their hero.
 
This can also overlap with the [[Straw Fan]], [[The Collector]], the [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]], the [[Poisonous Friend]], and/or the [[Stalker with a Crush]]. See also [[Actor-Role Confusion]]. Contrast with [[Ascended Fanboy]].
 
Sad (and a little scary) to say, this is ''very'' much [[Truth in Television]].

* Mickie James' original gimmick in [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] was as Trish Stratus's creepy stalker fan.

* Katrina Rad in ''[[The Problem Solverz]]'' episode "Magic Clock". She follows the group around everywhere so she can write a blog entry about them, but she's ''really'' [[Yandere||crazy]] about Roba.
* ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' has Sonette, who, along with changing her name, has sneaked into Sonic's room while he was sleeping and stolen merchandise from him. She also is frequently seen with a piece of Sonic's chewed gum in her mouth.<ref>Sonic had earlier claimed that he doesn't chew gum, which leads to speculation on whose gum that really is.</ref>
* In the "Cold Slither" episode of ''[[G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel Comics)|G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero]]'', Scarlet, Cover Girl, and Lady Jaye ''disguise'' themselves as Loony Fans of the band to get close to them, and manage to slug the rather surprised Dreadnoks into submission when they do so.
