See also [[Waif Prophet]], [[Oracular Urchin]]. [[Mysterious Woman]] is usually sexy instead of [[Moe]].
{{examples
== [[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.
* Lala-Ru from "[[Now and Then Here And There]]" She may also count as a deconstruction of it.
* 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|Heroic BSODs]] 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
* Kisara of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh]]'', the [[White
** Only present day example would be against losing to Isis during Battle City. Otherwise, Kaiba typically sees Blue-Eyes White Dragon as his personal [[BFG]].
* Clare from ''[[Claymore]]'' starts out like this, until it becomes obvious that she is seriously [[The Stoic]] mixed with [[Badass Abnormal]], a [[Super
** Ophelia at first appears like this, but she is just liberal amounts of [[Ax Crazy]].
* Vivio of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', the main character's adopted 6-year old daughter who has [[Mismatched Eyes]] and was found trudging through the sewers while chained to a pair of cases containing [[MacGuffin|Relics]].
Line 86:
* Luna from ''[[Lunar Silver Star Story Complete]]'' and Lucia from ''[[Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete]]''.
* Machi Tobaye in ''[[Apollo Justice Ace Attorney]]''. Blind, can't speak English, and falsely accused of cold-blooded murder. {{spoiler|Only the last's true, although his English is pretty awkward.}}
* Isabella/Catleia from ''[[Advance Wars]]: Days of Ruin''. [[Moe]], [[Laser
* Aerith Gainsborough from ''[[Final Fantasy VII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VII]]''.
* Dyshana of ''[[Record of Agarest War]]'' is so this.
