A person with a huge imagination, who spends most of the time in his or her own imaginary world, frequently out of touch with reality. Often the main character, and usually a [[Cheerful Child]] and/or a [[Cloudcuckoolander]]. A show with them has lots of imagination sequences (like a [[Dream Sequence]], [[Power Fantasy]], or extended [[Imagine Spot]]). May have an [[Imaginary Friend]]. In many (but not all) instances, the imaginative character is a [[Reality Warper]], and his/her odd daydreams can temporarily become real. |

* Rufus is this in spades in the pilot for ''[[The Dreamstone]]''. Oddly despite being a dominant trait, and the key reason he gets a job assisting the Dream Maker, it is only refered to in a handful of episodes afterwards. |

* Mac of ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' is the most-often seen one, though his ''own'' "imaginary friend" Bloo has an active imagination himself. Goo, however, is this as her main characteristic. In her premiere episode, she creates a crisis in that her imagination is way too active that her imaginary friends, which become real, immediately overcrowd the mansion the show is set in. |
