* ''[[Karakuridouji Ultimo]]'': Sophia. He's on the Good Doji side, and is the embodiment of Wisdom.
* ''[[Liar Game]]'': Nao. Like Corporal Carrot, she started off extremely naive, honest and easily manipulated. As the game continued, however, we see that she is a lot smarter than she appears. She even {{spoiler|schemes with Fukunaga and doesn't tell Akiyama and pulled it off}}, and often uses her innocent nature to trick and trap others.
* ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'': Although most of the main cast of the franchise falls into either [[Lawful Good]] or [[Neutral Good]] alignment, they universally adhere to the spirit of it, not the letter. The normally polite and gentle Nanoha, for instance, won't hesitate to blast you out of the sky [[Training Fromfrom Hell|if it ensures your survival when crap actually hits the fan]], and trying to outsmart her in combat... [[Curb Stomp Battle|is a very bad idea]]. Other characters display similar tendencies, perhaps because most of them [[The Villain Makes the Plot|started off as villains]] and the rest learned from them.
* In ''[[Dragonball Z]]'': Goku may be a [[Idiot Hero|complete and utter moron]]. But his eldest son Gohan is a full fledged [[Genius Bruiser]] who gets straight A's and smashes around beings stronger than ''the Gods themselves!!''
** Goku isn't even a complete moron. In ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', he showed an unusual level of craftiness, and was shown to be at least reasonably clever. And that was ''outside'' of fighting. It seems he was just poorly educated.

* The dwarven noble protagonist in [[Dragon Age: The Crown of Thorns|this]] Dragon Age fanfiction can be considered an embodiment of this trope.
* The [http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Reasonable_Marines Reasonable Marines], a fanmade Space Marine Chapter for ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'', will attempt diplomacy first whenever possible, which makes then positively heretical in the shoot-first-ask-questions-never Imperium of Man. The fool that refuses their overtures gets to be on the receiving end of stealth tactics, combined arms and all-around [[Combat Pragmatist|Combat Pragmatism]].
 
 
Line 95:
* [[Mega Man X]], a [[Neutral Good]] [[Reluctant Warrior]] who lives in an increasingly [[Crapsack World]] infested with [[The Virus]], capable of turning even his best friend against him. Often referred to as 'too trusting' in-universe and 'emo' outside of it because he doesn't like killing people. He's also an [[Sealed Good in a Can]] [[Super Prototype]] [[One-Man Army]] with ''lots'' of combat experience and what he can't handle his aforementioned [[Mega Man Zero|best friend]] ''will.'' He also ends up ruling the world, basically because he's the only person that could manage it. There was talk of having him hit the [[Despair Event Horizon]], [[Knight Templar|lose that compassion]] and become the [[Big Bad]] of the [[Mega Man Zero|sequel series]]. That would have been ''bad.''
* Garlot of ''[[Blaze Union]]'' may not be very smart to begin with, but he has a very sensitive nature that allows him to accurately read and understand his rivals and enemies' motivations. As his adventures start to gain him more and more street cred, it's his overwhelmingly gentle and compassionate heart that manages to win the hearts of his entire country—including those very rivals and enemies, more often than not. We get to see in [[Yggdra Union|the future]] just how much Bronquia [[100% Adoration Rating|really appreciates]] having a leader who's kind, just, and ''competent.''
* Duessel from ''[[Fire Emblem: theThe Sacred Stones]]''.
