Not Growing Up Sucks: Difference between revisions

Line 122:

* {{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.

* Robert from the ~~webcomic~~ ''Eros Inc.'' isn't human, but he looks and talks like a human baby (gun obsession notwithstanding).

* Avatar from ''[[Far Out There]]'' deals with this as part of her indestructibility (among other inconveniences).

* In the ''[[Jack (webcomic)|Jack]]'' arc "Megan's Run," Susan Lancaster and Megan Fairchild are not only [https://web.archive.org/web/20120524053132/http://www.pholph.com/strip.php?id=5&sid=3284 not able to die, get sick, or remain injured], but neither will [https://web.archive.org/web/20120524050121/http://www.pholph.com/strip.php?id=5&sid=3298 grow old or mature any more than their current state].

* Forever Boy from ''[[Sidekick Girl]]''. He was a forty-something who stopped aging around age 12. It eventually drove him insane.

* A slight variation: Chibi Sue of [[~~Ghastlys~~ Ghastly Comic]] is the only [[Super-Deformed]] person in her hometown, and perpetually looks like a child to the normal human populace, despite being thirty-six. Thanks to this, she's still a virgin because she's creeped out by the idea of pedophiles using her as a substitute (one could argue it's preferable to the alternatives, but the poor woman's allowed her squicks). Cybersex doesn't work either, as she has no fingers and can't type properly.

* Timeless and his kitten Whiskers from [[Whateley Universe]] both never aged since his powers manifested, and worse yet most people aren't comfortable in his aura that drains energy from several sources.
