* ''EnsembleDarkHorse/TheHungerGames''



* In ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' trilogy we have Finnick -- he was only a minor character in ''Catching Fire'' and more minor in ''Mockingjay'' but he became extremely popular for his kindness, strength, sense of humor, and dedication.
** Katniss might be the protagonist of the story, but in the Games depicted in the first book the Tribute who won the fan's hearts the most was [[FlowerMotifs Rue]]. She had all of Katniss's sister Prim's finer qualities while lacking the ShrinkingViolet, being a PluckyGirl-in-training despite her age and small size, and her bond with Katniss was extremely sweet. There's also Cinna, who makes fashion designing and makeovers ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome awesome]]'', and quickly won both readers and Katniss herself over thanks to his approachability and compassionate nature.
** Foxface also gets a lot of love thanks to her cleverness, despite only appearing in one book, not having any speaking lines, and ''not having an actual name.''
*** Thanks to the OneSceneWonder nature of the film, Thresh and Clove have also become this.
** Johanna Mason also has quite the fan following.

%% * Pullings in the ''Literature/AubreyMaturin'' series.
* ''Literature/BattleRoyale'' has Takako Chigusa. To those who have read, [[GroinAttack don't think too hard about that]]. In the live action movie, she was played by Chiaki Kuriyama. Creator/QuentinTarantino, a fan of the novel and film, cast her as [[Film/KillBill Gogo Yubari]] for this exact reason.

* Stefan and Jesper of ''Literature/TheBrotherbandChronicles'' have a reasonably vocal fan following, despite being side characters who are referenced less and less as the series goes on. It helps that an inseparable duo of a VoiceChangeling and an ImpossibleThief is both a fun and [[HoYay shippable]] concept.

** Arlo TheStoner appears in three stories in supporting or cameo roles and is one of the most entertaining characters in the collection.

* ''Literature/TheCasterChronicles'':
** Ethan's great-aunts get a lot of love from the fanbase for being absolutely hilarious (occasional StillFightingTheCivilWar moments aside) and displaying the occasional keen HiddenDepths and insights about the hidden magical society around them.
** Macon's (literal) seeing-eye dog Boo Radley is more popular than the average TeamPet in a [=YA=] book.
** Ridley's sisters Ryan (The Cutie) and Reece (the IceQueen) have little page time or dialogue throughout the books but are quite popular, with fans mourning their deletion from the movie.
** Abby Porter, Winnie Reid, and Robert Lester Tate have less than a dozen combined mentions throughout all four books, but still get a bit of interest and sympathy for being the only three students besides Ethan and Link to show even the slightest friendliness to the Duchannces family.

* ''Literature/DontCallMeIshmael'':
** Razz's girlfriend Sally doesn't appear until the second book, but is better liked than some of the TrueCompanions main cast.
** BruiserWithASoftCenter Theodore may only become a SixthRanger to the gang in the third book, but many fans see him as a solid, indispensable character in that book.
** Razz's cousin Cindy Sexton only appears long enough for one ill-fated date with Ishmael, but her MotorMouth tendencies and BigBreastPride make her a memorable character.
** CoolTeacher Ms. Tarango and Mr. Barker, the SternTeacher with HiddenDepths, are probably the best-liked adult characters in the series despite their secondary or tertiary roles in each book.

* ''Literature/LesMiserables'' has several. The most ubiquitous is probably Gavroche, who has become the novel's unofficial mascot of sorts. Eponine and every single member of LaResistance also have huge followings, as does QuirkyMinibossSquad member [[EvilIsSexy Montparnasse.]]

** MasterOfDisguise Five Face, The Black Falcon (due to his similarities to [[Characters/BatmanTheRiddler the Riddler]]), Marvin Bradthaw (for his PragmaticVillainy moments and for managing to destroy the Shadow's original Sanctum), and MasterOfDisguise Fifth Face are among the best-liked villains in the series despite only having one appearance apiece.

** SilkHidingSteel debutante Francine Melrue from ''Crime, Insured'' is such a good GuestStarPartyMember that many fans wish she'd become a regular cast member.
** Rook Loy from ''Double Z'' is one of the most well-remembered henchmen in the series due to the suspenseful scene where the Shadow has to navigate the booby traps in Rook Loy's house.

** All of the Shadow's agents have decently large followings, but FairForItsDay characters Jericho Druke (with his TheBigGuy moments also being liked) and Dr. Roy Tam, Cliff Marsland TheMole (especially since he may have inspired ''Series/TheGreenHornet''), ReformedCriminal and ScarilyCompetentTracker Hawkeye, and AcePilot and former soldier-of-fortune Miles Crofton are less prominent than some of the others but no less popular.
