Line 20:
Can overlap with [[Country Mouse]], [[Kid Appeal Character]] (who is also there to draw in younger audiences), [[Welcome to The Big City]] (their usual introduction to city life), [[Ordinary High School Student]] (impressionable person applied to a odd situation).
 
A [[Super -Trope]] to [[Rookie Red Ranger]] (the newcomer is also [[The Hero]]), [[Ensign Newbie]] (the newcomer is an officer presiding over a more experienced enlisted crew).
 
Compare [[Unfazed Everyman]].
Line 132:
* Diane Chambers, ''[[Cheers]]''.
* Elle from ''[[Criminal Minds]]'' was this in the first episode. She only stayed on for one season, and the show never used this trope again.
* Just about all of the Doctor's companions in ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', but especially Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright in the original show, and Rose Tyler in the current revival. In those case we get introduced to the Doctor through their eyes, whereas in other companion introductions we already know the Doctor when we see him meet them.
* Dr. John Carter (also later Lucy Knight and to a lesser extent Neela Rasgotra), ''[[ER]]''.
* Jack Carter, ''[[Eureka]]''. Later season episodes justify this continued status by focusing more on his inability to understand complicated science rather than his lack of comfort with the many world-ending experiments performed in the city, though he may also be evolving into [[The Watson]].
