Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well''.\|'''[[Harry Potter\|Albus Dumbledore]]'''}} A [['''Reluctant Ruler]]''' is someone who is entrusted with permanent power over others despite desperately trying to ''avoid'' it at all costs. It is believed that between a brilliant person who [[I Just Want to Be Special\|strives for glory]] and a brilliant person [[I Just Want to Be Normal\|who shuns it]], the latter is least likely to [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity\|abuse the power]] they are given, automatically making them a [[Comes Great Responsibility\|passable, if not great, ruler]]. This trope lives at [[Idealism vs. Cynicism\|the idealistic side of the Scale]], but not as extreme as you may think.
