Line 106:
** A more straight example is Nijel the Destroyer, son of Harebut the Provision Merchant. He wants to become a barbarian hero (by reading books), but has some... problems. He promptly fall in love with [[Action Girl|Conina]], who's the daughter of Cohen the Barbarian and has [[Lamarck Was Right|inherited her mother's looks and her father's urge to kill]]. She really wants to become a hairdresser.
** Moist von Lipwig is another protagonist example; he's not at all comfortable with fighting, preferring [[Con Man|trickery]] and [[Master of Disguise|disguise]] instead.
* Every single [[The Hobbit (novel)|Hobbit]] almost without exceptions. Of course Hobbits have [[Hidden Depths]] and the book can be mildly Anvilicious about that sort of thing, though fortunately the author's skill keeps it in control.
* Foaly in the ''[[Artemis Fowl]]'' series.
** Artemis is far better suited to orchestrating everything from behind [[Battle Butler|Butler]] and letting his more athletic companions do the dirty work, but as often as not circumstance forces him to at least try to do something physical anyway. It seems like he resolves anew to start getting fit at least [[Once an Episode|once a book]], but it never quite happens.
