Line 34:
* Sakaki of ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' fits this, given her love of everything cute.
* Despite being a serious [[Dark Action Girl]] who nearly kills the protagonists, Lorelei of the ''[[Pokémon Special]]'' manga has a room full of cute Pokémon plushies.
** Every few times you beat her in ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]'', she adds a new plushie to her existing collection at her house on Four Island.
* Nodoka from ''[[Saki (manga)|Saki]]'' keeps a stuffed penguin around as a [[Security Blanket]].
* Kaede Sakura from ''[[Kämpfer]]'' fits this trope, even if the stuffed animals she collects appear to have committed suicide. Her dedication to the brand goes well beyond just the stuffed animals, as she also has pajamas and other assorted goodies that bear the disturbing creatures.
Line 43:
* ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'''s Mitsukuni "Honey" Haninozuka is a rare male example. He never goes anywhere without his precious stuffed rabbit Usa-chan, despite the fact he's a high school senior. It adds to his [[Token Mini-Moe]] gimmick in the Host Club, but he does genuinely love the plushie. And don't you dare mock Honey or try to hurt his Usa-chan, or he will [[Kung Fu Kid|kick your ass]]. {{spoiler|In the manga, Hani's cousin and companion Mori has to fight and ''defeat'' him to make the guy promise he won't carry Usa-chan around when in university.}}
* Another male example is Dr. Ni Jianyi of ''[[Saiyuki|Saiyuki Reload]]'', who carries around a stuffed rabbit doll at all times {{spoiler|which is later revealed to be a [[Chekhov's Gun]].}}
* [[Depraved Homosexual|Grell Sutcliff]] of the ''[[Black Butler]]'' series could also qualify, as he is often depicted in [[Splash Panel|Splash]] [http://static.minitokyo.net/view/32/11/485582.jpg Pages] holding a [[Creepy Doll]] version of [[Foe Yay|Sebastian]]. This is taken further in the second season of the anime, wherein Grell is shown holding a Sebastian plush which he kisses before placing among doll versions of Ciel and Alois. He then proceeds to viciously destroy the latter dolls with his chainsaw "scythe."
* ''[[Kamichama Karin]]'''s Karasuma Himeka has a stuffed rabbit toy she usually carries around with her. Karin herself has some [http://www.onemanga.com/Kamichama_Karin/25/11/ rather unnerving] stuffed.... ''things'' lurking at the back of her closet....
* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', {{spoiler|Luna aka Shiori}} carried a plush rabbit as a little girl. Seen during {{spoiler|the flashback where Fate, her master, recruits her comrade Homura.}}
** Nodoka also has a stuffed rabbit thing that serves as her backpack.
* Kagome in ''[[Strawberry Panic!|Strawberry Panic]]!'' has Percival.
* In ''[[Yotsuba&!]]'', Ena has not only her teddy bears but a couple other plushies in her room, and Fuka has a [[Azumanga Daioh|Chiyo-chichi]] as well. Since acquiring her first teddy bear, Yotsuba has been carrying Duralumin ''everywhere''.
Line 59:
* [[Gender Inverted Trope]] ([[Dude Looks Like a Lady|we think]]) with [[Axis Powers Hetalia|China]].
* At the end of ''[[Gundam Wing]]'', Heero gives Relena a teddy bear for her birthday. Rather than being an expression of girliness, however, there's a deeper symbolic meaning behind it: {{spoiler|as shown in flashbacks, Heero accidentally blew up a building on a botched mission, including a young girl who befriended him earlier that same day, leaving behind nothing but a teddy bear. Thus, the bear he gives Relena can be seen as his attempting to redeem his mistake by protecting her the way he couldn't the little girl.}}
* Chihiro from ''[[Tamayura|Tamayura [[hitotose]]]]'' has a bedroom filled with self-made plushies, and in one particularly heartwarming moment she gives a whole set to Fuu as a parting gift.
** Chihiro also gives some small plushies to use as phone straps to Fuu's friends when she visits Fuu in Takehara.
* Never is Aoi from ''[[Working]]'' happier then when she gets a stuffed bear from {{spoiler|Satou}}, calling it "Daisy" and taking it with her everywhere.
* ''[[The Idolmaster (anime)|THE iDOLM@STER]]'' - Iori is always with her Stuffed Rabbit and Makoto is specially prone to this trope.
* Itsuki from ''[[Heartcatch Pretty Cure]]'' has a good-sized collection of stuffed animals; being the [[Heir to the Dojo]], she hides them away because it would conflict with the cool, boyish image she wants to project.
Line 70:
* In ''Hate'', Buddy goes on a [[Blind Date]] with a lonely career woman who micromanages every aspect of their date and insists on having her way in all things. When they go back to her apartment, one of the first things Buddy notices is her large stuffed animal collection.
* [[Empowered]], despite being a superheroine, has Mellow Mr. Monkey, which keeps her bad dreams away. {{spoiler|She thinks, but it doesn't really work.}}
* Rick Sheridan's girlfriend Alyssa Conover has a number of dolls and stuffed animals in her apartment. [[Sleepwalker]] is confused by them, and wonders if they're religious objects that she worships.
Line 96:
{{quote|''(Abby hugs Bert)''
'''Tony''': ''(to Ziva)'' [[Don't Ask]]. }}
* In ''[[That '70s Show]]'', Jackie has a collection of stuffed animals. Her favorite is an unicorn that she calls "Fluffycakes".
* ''[[Laverne and Shirley]]'' had Shirley's Boo Boo Kitty.
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' has a stuffed pig named Mr. Gordo.
Line 104:
* Syd from ''[[Power Rangers SPD]]'' owns a stuffed elephant named "Peanut" that she's had since she was five and still sleeps with him.
* Liz Powell from ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' episode "Room 22" has a rag doll and a leopard plushie that she uses as comfort objects.
* Parker from ''[[Leverage]]'' features this in her first flashback where she first becomes a thief when her stepfather takes away her stuffed bunny. It ends with his house blowing up as she hugs her bunny.
* Claire Bennet from ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' collects teddy bears and her collection is visibly displayed in her room. Her father brings her new ones from his various "business trips" (actually missions tracking down specials) that she believes he goes on. When she goes off to college, she brings a teddy bear with her.
Line 132:
== [[Web Comics]] / [[Web Originals]] ==
* In ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]],'' Molly, who is [[Younger Than They Look|younger than she looks,]] has a teddy bear named [[Religious and Mythological Theme Naming|Callisto]] (named for a Greek nymph who got changed into a bear).
* Kotone of ''[[Tsunami Channel]]'' fame is quite the addict to collecting plushies, and her favorite is a fox-shaped one. Alex, who is a boy but love stuffed animals just the same.
* Misty (codename Superchick - she picked it herself) of the [[Whateley Universe]]. She's fourteen and away from home for the first time, and she has a collection of unicorns. Tennyo (Billie Wilson) has a stuffed cabbit, but it's [[Killer Rabbit|weaponized]].
* In ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'' v3, Alice Jones for most of the game carries around a plush rabbit, and is mentioned as having a collection of stuffed animals back home. Later on, she starts to hallucinate said rabbit talking to her, and eventually replaces it with {{spoiler|Guy Rapide's head}}.
Line 138:
* Terezi of ''[[Homestuck]]'' has many dragon plushies of various colors scattered around her treehive. In her introduction, she is shown pretending to be an [[Amoral Attorney]] prosecuting one of her plushies in a [[Kangaroo Court]], and hanging it from her tree. The camera zooms out to reveal at least a dozen other stuffed dragons who shared the same fate.
** Several others form the backbone of her legal and forensic support team. Which doesn't rule out the suspicion that they squeazled their way onto said team to subvert the investigation from the inside.
** [[Strange Girl|Jade]] also has a sizable collection of [[Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods|Squiddles]], soft octopus/squid plushies with magnets in them that make them tangle up when put together.

* In ''[[Freefall]]'', Helix is generally referred to as male, but still loves those [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1200/fv01108.htm stuffed animals], which Florence has borrowed from time to time for herself.
