{{trope}}

A character type that has an [[Informed Attribute]] relating to whether or not that character is lonely. The reason for this is generally to invoke the [[Aloof Ally]] trope or one closely related to it. The idea is simple- [[I Work Alone|aloof, lonely people are different than us]], with different values and ways of looking at the world, caused in part by [[Loners Are Freaks|their stunted ability to engage in emotional interaction with others]]. So having one in a story creates obvious [[Character Development]] issues and conflicts, which in turn can make a story more interesting.

Compare [[Cool Loser]].
