Line 154:
* Lila Fowler in some of the [[Sweet Valley]] books. However with so many ghostwriters the characterisation does vary from book to book.
* Kismine Washington from [[F. Scott Fitzgerald]]'s novella "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" is this trope meets [[Conditioned to Accept Horror]]. Her [[The Ingenue|utter innocence and guilelessness]] makes the story all the scarier.
* Ivan Vorpatril of Vorkosigan Saga is somewhat like this. He is no saint and in fact calls common born people [[Fantastic Caste System|proles]] (though only as a generic; he does not particularly look down on those commoners he actually sees). But he is loyal and helpful even to total strangers and certainly to friends, though not without grumbling. His chief goal in life is to live it as comfortably as he can, but he is not going to let that get in the way of friendship or patriotism or simple kindness.
**Ivan's wife, Lady Tej Vorpatril is a [[Mafia Princess]] whose parents and siblings [[Obnoxious In-Laws|can be extremely difficult]]. Ivan married her in the process of a scheme to keep her protected from a [[Mob War]] and then fell in love with her. Her father dotes on her but can't understand why she is unenthusiastic about the family scheming.
