Sometimes a younger sibling, other times an older one. Talks a good game but [[TheLoad often falls into trouble]] and needs to be rescued when that isn't [[DamselInDistress the job]] of the hero's love interest. [[BerserkButton Hates]] being called a kid but lacks real maturity. Often a boy, but female examples aren't uncommon. Such a character seldom gets along with anyone, except TheHero. The getting along part always happens after TheHero [[DefeatMeansFriendship gives him/her the slap across the face or the fatherly/motherly spanking that the kid needed badly]].

See also: TagalongKid, AnnoyingYoungerSibling, AffectionHatingKid, SpoiledBrat, KidAppealCharacter. Might grow into a BrattyTeenageDaughter or DumbassTeenageSon. When {{downplayed|trope}}, see MouthyKid.

* ''Webcomic/ThirtyTwoKickUp'' Patricia-Marie is a main character version of this trope.
* ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'', Lucy's pet Yashy is a prime example of this trope.
** [[SelfDemonstratingArticle What do you mean, she's a "prime example?" She's the bestest, most awesomest character ever,]] [[CatchPhrase whore!]]

* ''Webcomic/SquidRow'': [[http://squidrowcomics.com/?p=579 at facepainting]]

** Taffyta and the other Sugar Rush Racers also qualify, due to their bullying towards Vanellope. But this is actually because [[spoiler: [[FaceHeelBrainwashing they were reprogrammed by Turbo to act cruel towards Vanellope.]]]]

* In ''Film/TheTenCommandments'', it is Rameses II's first-born son Prince Amun who clearly is not only rude and spoiled, he has the nerve to kick Moses' staff that he used to demonstrate God's power by turning into a cobra, thereby insulting both Moses and God. This is clearly so we don't mind too much what happens later to the princely brat when the Death Angel comes calling...

* In the song "Nuttin' for Christmas," the singer's character is a bratty half-pint singing about delighting in his wicked deeds. The song ends with him gleefully letting a burglar into his family's house on Christmas evening for a cut of the fence.

* ''Film/ASlightCaseOfMurder:'' When Marco visits the orphanage where he grew up, he volunteers to spend a month fostering the brattiest kid at the orphanage to try and "mold" him into a productive member of society. The kid is fairly surly and annoying throughout the film.

* Shannon, Toni's niece, from ''ComicStrip/{{Luann}}''. Bad-tempered (drawn with a perpetual scowl on her face), disrespectful, greedy and completely self-centered. Toni has recently admitted to Luann that she enjoys pawning Shannon off on her simply to enjoy being away from the little brat. (Though given that Shannon [[WhenYouComingHomeDad technically still has a father]], she isn't really Toni's responsibility in the first place...)

* ''Fanfic/DoingItRightThisTime'': Sakura Suzuhara is tiny, cranky, demanding and constantly follows her big brother around. The "Don't like being called 'a kid'" came when Asuka did do right that.

-->"For an adorable, seven year old, fully cheeked, short boy with blond hair, cute freckles and wide sparkly blue eyes, Gulley could surely be a jerk."

* Ash in ''WesternAnimation/FantasticMrFox'' is actually older than his unbearably perfect cousin, Kristofferson, but he otherwise fits the character trope with his resentful ill temper. However, he dramatically matures in the story and becomes a nice kit at the end.
* Creator/WCFields films often involved Fields as a ChildHater, a HenpeckedHusband, or both, and thus often used this trope. In ''Film/ItsAGift'' bratty son Norman leaves roller skates on the floor for Harold (Fields) to trip on, and irritates Harold on a family road trip by continually blowing a whistle in the back seat. In ''Film/TheBankDick'' his bratty daughter Elsie whacks him over the head with a director's bullhorn when Egbert (Fields), working as a director, won't put Elsie in the movie.

* Poor Gabby from ''Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate'' has her throat torn out by the titular character for her fearless, whiny and loud complaints about his behavior, which at the time consisted of drinking blood from a dog, and his wearing "lipstick" (actually blood). To his horror she returns as a nigh immortal vampire with a sever case of sire attachment and no more maturity than she had in life.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Rascals}}'', while slighlty obscure, Reiko's innocent child when Issy enters her demon mind as seen on this [[https://rascals.kemono.cafe/comic/rascals-pg-428/ page]].

* ''Webcomic/WhiteDarkLife'': Damien and Priscilla are noted to be total pains in the neck at times, with Damien eating any food he can get his hands on and priscilla always bringing the attention to herself. they are also [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]].

** Vanellope von Schweetz, [[SourOutsideSadInside but she soon becomes far more when you realize that she is trying to survive in a world where she is dismissed as a]] "[[{{Tearjerker}} mistake]]."

* Makina in ''VisualNovel/GrisaiaNoKajitsu'' is a weird, immature girl who tends to copy the people around her and mock Michiru as much as possible. There's more to her than that, but unfortunately by ''VisualNovel/TheEdenOfGrisaia'' flanderization has left her with little else.

Sometimes a younger sibling, other times an older one. Talks a good game but [[TheLoad often falls into trouble]] and needs to be rescued when that isn't [[DamselInDistress the job]] of TheChick. [[BerserkButton Hates]] being called a kid but lacks real kindness. Often a boy, but female examples aren't uncommon. Such a character seldom gets along with anyone, except TheHero. The getting along part always happens after TheHero [[{{ThePowerOfLove}} gives him or her the motherly/fatherly love, understanding and compassion]] [[{{HiddenHeartOfGold}} they've been needing so badly]].

Unlike the MouthyKid, the Half-Pint isn't the voice of reason of the party but rather a troublemaker who likes to get on people's nerves through sass or sabotaging their plans. At their best, they're [[{{TheGadfly}} small, mischievous annoyances]]. At their worst, they're a huge pain in the ass, a [[TheMillstone millstone]], made even worse because they enjoy being that way.

If overdone and excessively obnoxious the Half Pint risks becoming TheScrappy to some of the audience. Often the party's attack magician if there isn't a BlackMagicianGirl. They may also [[BratsWithSlingshots use a slingshot]]. Attempts to insult people usually descend to BigStupidDoodooHead. Might also be a case of MotorMouth if the kid talks ''a lot''.
