Line 145:
* An interesting variation occurs in ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]''. Marta falls head-over-heels in love with what she falsely believes Emil to be, clearly ignoring Emil's actual personality. When he calls her out on this in a moment of frustration, she draws back and realizes that, no, Emil really isn't like her fantasy. Then she ends up falling for Emil ''for real''.
* A story which can be read in [[Elder Scrolls|Morrowind]], titled "Palla," tells the tale of a mage who falls in love with a long-dead woman depicted fighting a monster in a statue. Of course, it doesn't turn out like he thought it would. {{spoiler|Palla turns out to be the name of the monster. Guess who comes back to life?}}
* In ''[[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness]]'', [[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness/Characters|Etna]]'s [[Tsundere|rather]] [[Reliable Traitor|contradictory]] [[Slap Slap Kiss|relationship]] with Laharl is the result of this: she [[Precocious Crush|adored his father]], but ''hated'' his mother. She admits in her diary that when Laharl came along, she had no idea whether to love him or hate him because of it.
** Laharl himself seems to be attracted to Flonne, and it's mentioned that she reminds him of his deceased mother.
* ''[[Mega Man ZX]]'' has [[Cool Big Sis|Prairie]] falling in love with [[The Obi-Wan|Girouette]]. She later admitted that it was because Giro reminded her of someone she knew in the past. Prairie is strongly believed to be Alouette of the ''[[Mega Man Zero]]'' series, and Giro is a (rather blatant) [[Expy]] of the eponymous character that Alouette looks up to and idolizes. Do the math.
