Not Growing Up Sucks: Difference between revisions

Line 121:

* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', Presea Combatir was subjected to an experiment when she was a child, giving her immense physical strength but severely suppressing her emotions and stopping her from aging. After regaining her emotions and learning of just what she has been made to do all these years, she has a breakdown. In the ending, it's revealed that she's actually 28 years old chronologically, yet still looks no older than 12.

* {{spoiler|Ilya}} from ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' is about twenty. While not on business, she appears to be quite a [[Cheerful Child]], but [[Hidden Depths|there's a ruthless, realistic side hidden under the]] [[Cheerful Child]] facade, one that will break through nearly anything to accomplish what she wants. It's not really surprising, since she ''is'' {{spoiler|[[The Unfettered|Kiritsugu's]]}} daughter. She doesn't mind looking so young, and {{spoiler|her eventual early death from [[Clone Degeneration]]}} is something that she accepts with only mild feelings of melancholy.

* Babette from ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]]'' is a 300+ year old vampire who was turned when she was a child. She puts the [[Cheerful Child]] facade to good use on her assassination missions for the Dark Brotherhood, but she's pretty straightforward about not really being kid anymore. As she puts it, she's no more a child than the protagonist is. She looks and sounds exactly like other little girls in the game (except for the telltale red eyes and fangs) but comes across as one of the most mature and level-headed members of the Brotherhood (which admittedly isn't that much of an accomplishment since they are a cult of death-worshippers). Babette doesn't really seem to mind her condition—most vampires in the series are evil/sociopathic and don't really care about little things like "love", so no "never being able to grow up and marry someone" angst for Babette.
