Line 87:
* The unnamed boy and the [[Lilliputians|Lilliputian]] Arrietty in ''[[The Borrowers]]''. Arrietty reads to the illiterate boy, strengthening the bond between them. The boy, being far larger than Arrietty, protects her from the dangers the humans present.
* Morrigan and her best friend Hawthorne in the ''[[Nevermoor]]'' series. In the [[Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow|first book]], Hawthorne is notable for being the first person her age to become her friend. Back in her home town of Jackalfax, she is perceived as being a cursed child and blamed for all the misfortunes occurring around her. She and Hawthorne trial together for a position in the Wunderous Society, and in the [[Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow|second book]] plays a huge role in shutting down the [[Black Market|Ghastly Market]] As the series progresses, the trope is used less as the rest of Unit 919 opens up to her and play a bigger role in the story, meaning there is no character clearly identifiable as a sidekick.
* In George Orwell's ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]'', we have Winston and Julia. The two are lovers in an era where romance is strictly forbidden. Romance gives people a reason to step out of line, and to not obey and blindly consume everything the party says. This, combined with how Winston is already married, means the two have to hide their love in public, and find secluded places in private. In part III, we are shown the ruthlessness of the party in the Ministry of Love as the two are broken, betray each other, and lose their feelings. When they meet after being tortured and released, they feel nothing towards each other, and stare and talk without passion.
