Line 8:
Although the [[Hero]], [[Anti-Hero]], or rarely [[The Big Bad]], at times wants to be forgotten to [[It's Not You, It's My Enemies|not imperil others]], so his or her foes would not harm those in any way shape or form, so he leaves his family and friends. An [[Up to Eleven]] example, is that the character in question didn't exist at all, it does not explain all the interactions and stopping the fate of the world ending earlier.
The milder examples are that the character is insanely [[Ridiculously Average Guy|mundane]] that no one remembers him, especially if the world he lives in is fantastical or a world populated with superheroes and villains. The latter sometimes contain those that are being overshadowed by the [[Big Bad]], the superheroes finds this minor villain as too easy to defeat that to the point that it's easy to forget about this character's existence
In fantasy and [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]] settings, a character's existence gets erase by very [[A Wizard Did It| powerful spells]], [[Weird Science|laser rays]] that have [[Gone Horribly Right|right]] or [[Gone Horribly Wrong]].
Line 15:
Please note that this trope is mainly for in-universe only. The meta examples go to [[Out of Focus]].
A more extreme version of [[Who Is This Guy Again?]], at least there people remember that character ''exists'', even if they don't remember who they are.. Compare and contrast with [[Ret-Gone]], [[Ghost Memory]], [[Unperson]], [[I Was Never Here]], [[Laser Guided Amnesia]], [[Canon Discontinuity]], and [[Fake Memories]]. For the more mundane types of Forgettable Characters, compare [[Those Two Guys]].

* In [[Saki (manga)|Saki]], this trope was nearly a superpower to Momoko Touyoko. She's invisible to anyone in the vicinity, since she barely leaves an impression. There's was even an incident when she was playing Mahjong with three players, but they've forgotten that she's there despite that she is ''sitting next to her''.
* In [[Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei]], despite being the [[Class Representative]], Kagero Usui had a property to just slip away from the other characters' memories. Just because his [[Prematurely Bald]] head was his only distinctive feature. - He takes great pains to hide most of the time.
* Akari Akaza of ''[[Yuru-Yuri]]''.
