Mysterious Waif: Difference between revisions

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* Hotaru Tomoe/Sailor Saturn from ''[[Sailor Moon]]''. She is mysterious, ready for a self-sacrifice, and wears unusually dark clothes; she also has several mysterious powers even outside of her Sailor Senshi identity (although many of the other girls did too). Her situation is somewhat different, as there are [[Eviler Than Thou|three sides]] involved: Sailor Moon, who wants to save her; the Guardians of the Outer Solar System, who want to get rid of her as she poses a threat to the world; and the evil Death Busters, who want to destroy the world with her help. A couple seasons later, she joins the main cast, and her powers overlap somewhat with those of the [[White Magician Girl]] [[Cool Big Sis]], Sailor Pluto.

* Kari Kamiya/Yagami Hikari from ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'' and ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'', the human lightbulb. Also an [[Ill Girl]] at times (really, she gets sick twice during the series and twice offscreen as backstory - a lot compared to the ''zero'' of most of the rest of the cast, but that adds up to a minuscule portion of her screentime - [[Never Live It Down|far from the invalid she's remembered as by fans]].), she is the only one to have a Crest (Light) that ''doesn't'' refer to an innate virtue or trait. The powers of this Crest usually manifest themselves in weird ways, and she has been shown as both 1) unusually self-sacrificing and 2) drawn to the Dark Ocean, because of her powers and walled-in emotional problems. She's also empathetic to the point of being borderline psychic, which sends her into two [[Heroic BSOD]]s in 02 (and during the last one, her best friend Miyako has to [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|literally bitchslap her]] back to sanity).

** She can also be possessed by the mysterious whatevers that are running the digital world (apparently, in rank, they're the one step that exists between [[The Obi-Wan]] Gennai and ''[[The Four Gods]].'') And once talked like her possessed self while apparently ''not'' possessed, and could grant healing and a recharge ''by glowiness alone.'' She's got some serious clout, and we never get any kind of explanation for it, not even something like "Light is just that awesome a Crest trait."
