Personality-wise, the Mystical Waif is usually pure-hearted and kind, although she can seem distant at times. She is also extremely naive about the world, and unfamiliar with even the most basic facets of the characters' lives. That is, she has [[No Social Skills]]—which can be played for laughs in the more light-hearted parts. Occasionally she'll begin the game not being able to speak the main characters' language. She can be selfless to the point of [[Heroic Sacrifice|self-sacrifice]] at times. Sometimes she provides exposition—the introduction of the Mystical Waif (or the revelation of her true identity or purpose) is often what propels the plot from random adventuring to serious world-saving, as she recruits the rest of the party to help her [[Gotta Catch Them All|collect the crystals]].

* Alvis Hamilton from ''[[Last Exile]]'' epitomizes this trope in every way, as "the key to the [legendary ship] Exile."

* Yukina from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' appears young but, like her brother Hiei, is a demon and therefore may be much older than she appears. She is pure-hearted, kind, distant, naïve, and has blue (or, arguably, sea-green) hair. She is targeted by villains either for her gem-making powers (They come from her tears! Awwww!) or because the main characters care about her and she is no [[Action Girl]]. She occasionally serves as [[The Medic|the group's healer]], due to her abilities in that field.

* Kagura Tennozou from [[Speed Grapher]].

* The titular Eureka from ''[[Eureka Seven]]'', though, like Ms. Sune further up the list, she's quite the accomplished pilot.
