* Poppy of ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends''. Because she's such a HumbleHero, she just can't fathom that [[DropTheHammer the Hammer of Orlon]] has already found its chosen wielder in her. So, she continues on an impossible quest to deliver it to a nonexistent [[TheChosenOne chosen hero]].

A hero is Ignorant of the Call when he doesn't know that he is, in fact, TheHero. Everybody around him knows that the character is TheChosenOne, but he, himself, just can't see it. He fights the good fight and takes heroic actions... but it doesn't seem heroic to him, nor does he think he was destined to do them. He simply does what he must because it is in his nature to act in that manner. When dealing with this sort of protagonist, the phrase "[[ImNotAHeroIm I'm not a hero]]" (or a variant thereof) is often heard, along with ThinkNothingOfIt.

* Done to a ridiculous degree with HumbleHero Tor, of the ''Literature/TheYoungAncients'' series who, while still in school, revolutionizes absolutely everything about magic and daily life, is knighted for his various heroic acts including diving down a midden to save a child, creating a mass water filtration system to save a city when their water was tainted, then constructing a ''flying river'' to relieve a drought-stricken country. He is still surprised that anyone has heard of him, and personally thinks of himself as a baker's son who can always go back to making bread and pastries if this whole magic thing doesn't work out.
* Also Brian Yi, Proxy of ''Literature/TheInfected'' a world-famous superhero and widely considered the most dangerous man alive, is still the first to volunteer for nasty chores or give up his comforts for others, and seems genuinely unaware of how the rest of the world, including his closest friends, see him.
