* Lennie Small from ''[[Of Mice and Men]]''.
* The title character of ''[[Billy Budd]]'' is a textbook example.

* ''[[In Death]]'': Poor Alice Lingstrom from ''Ceremony In Death'' turns out to be a child in a woman's body. She was just exploring Satanism and got involved in a Satanic cult. The cult drugged her and then gang-raped her. She was pretty much made into the cult leaders' slave for a time, but she left when she witnessed the two leaders sacrifice and murder a young boy.
