Line 41:
* Rei from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''.
* Lucy/Nyuu from ''[[Elfen Lied]]''.
* Alvis from ''[[Last Exile]]'' is a mini-version.
* ''[[Noir]]'' has Yumura Kirika, a melancholy and very cute protagonist who has no memory of her past. She also happens to be a deadly assassin.
* Tiffa Adil, the Mysterious Waif of ''[[After War Gundam X|Gundam X]]'' fits the psychic part of this trope to a tee. She is a Newtype with precognition that is used to find the others like her, how does she find them? Through drawing their potential location. In addition she has been show to be the most powerful newtype in ''[[After War Gundam X|Gundam X]]'' and has been mentioned [[Super Robot Wars|via crossovers]] to potentially be the most powerful newtype in Gundam period.
* Ennis from [[Baccano!]] is a more modernized example. She's kind of a subversion because her powers are [[Immortality|nothing]] [[Healing Factor|new]] [[Charles Atlas Superpower|in the series]] but other than that she has all the traits; Ethereal and beautiful? Check. Captivates the hero and the audience? Check. Is connected with the [[Big Bad]] against her will? Check. Is [[The Woobie]]? Checkity check check.
* Nia from ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''.
* Clear from ''[[Final Fantasy Unlimited]]''.
Line 57:
* Leeloo, the female lead of ''[[The Fifth Element]]''
* A male example would be the titular Oliver from ''[[Oliver Twist]]''.
* The kid in ''Road Warrior'' who never talks, but somehow grows up into the film's articulate narrator.
* An early example is the servant girl from ''[[The Seventh Seal]]''. She is a mute that follows the knight and his squire after they save her from a rapist.
* ''[[Waterworld]]'' has Enola, an orphan with a map to dry land tattooed on her back.
