Waif Prophet: Difference between revisions

 

Contrast [[Blind Seer]], whose archetypal disability seems not to be a hindrance. Compare [[Cursed With Awesome]].

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* The Young/Old people from ''[[Akira (Manga)|Akira]]'', specifically the bedridden Kyouko.

* A few of the characters in ''The Five Star Stories'' possessing "Para-Diver" powers. Also many of the [[Artificial Human|Fatima Fates]], especially Clotho have elements of this, despite the fact that they are at least twice as strong as a normal person.

* Ilya takes this role in the Heaven's Feel route of ''[[Fate Stay Night]]''. Although she's mostly on Shirou's side, she only hints at the many important things she knows (like the true identities of {{spoiler|Archer and the shadow-monster}}), saying he'll figure them out eventually. She's also small... and {{spoiler|doomed}}.

* Male example: Subaru Sumeragi, during his ''[[Tokyo Babylon]]'' days.

** A random prophet in Storm of Zehir sees the coming of 4th edition rules. Seriously, the transition was canonically the cause of huge disasters in the Forgotten Realms setting as the magic system shifted.

* The siblings Ninian and Nils from ''[[Fire Emblem]] 7'' fit this trope a bit, [[My Significance Sense Is Tingling|being able to sense danger]] among other things (which [[Spoony Bard|don't include fighting]], though, which makes some players think [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway|they're useless * as a whole* in battle]]).

* Fon Master Ion from ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'' is a [[Rare Male Example]] of this trope ([[Viewer Gender Confusion|although you wouldn't know this by looking at him.]])

* Pharos in [[Persona 3]] is a creepy, sickly-looking young boy who visits the [[Silent Protagonist]] on various nights with information relating to the near future.
