History Main / NaiveEverygirl

* A lot of GirlsLove series feature a light-haired Naïve Everygirl as the {{Uke}} to the OneeSama {{Seme}}:

* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': Shirley Fennette. Her innocence and naïveté makes for a contrast with all the world weary or aggressive soldiers/politicans etc. She also serves as a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]], as every single time she becomes involved with the greater plot beyond simple school life, it comes at the cost of increasing personal consequences, [[spoiler:and culminated in her being murdered simply for naïvely saying the wrong thing to the wrong person]].

* ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'': Bella will put herself in danger just to see Edward again.

* Deconstructed in an episode of ''Series/LawAndOrderSVU''. A naive young woman who is planning to be an actress is raped during a late night theater play. [[spoiler: Turns out she was setup by her friend, who was angry that she got picked for the role, based solely on her good looks. While she let herself get used sexually by the director and other men in the business and was still rejected for the role because she wasn't as good looking. And its implied that the naive girl knew how much her friend wanted the role, but took it anyway.]]

* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': Shirley Fennette. Her innocence and naïveté makes for a contrast with all the world weary or aggressive soldiers/politicans etc.

* Diane Duane's ''Literature/YoungWizards'': Nita, the heroine, started out a Naive Everygirl, but matured beyond that stage with the discovery and mastery of her wizardry.

* Catherine Moreland, the protagonist of ''Literature/NorthangerAbbey'', is a CountryMouse thrown into the social scene at Bath with little supervision. The dishonest, gold-digging Thorpes attach themselves to her (and her Naive Everyboy brother) while she tries to form a friendship with the honest Tilneys, all while looking at the world through a lens of Gothic literature. Needless to say, it gets messy.

* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'': Subverted with Hikari/Kari. At first she seems like nothing more than the AffirmativeActionGirl and/or the ill girl of TheTeam. She's innocent, sweet, holder of the Crest of ''Light'' and hates to see other people in pain. However [[PluckyGirl she also has all the guts and nerve]] of the older [[BigBrotherWorship brother she idolises]] and at the age of ''eight'' is capable of holding her own.

* Estellise from ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia''; like the above example, is not ungrateful, but she is quite naïve from being [[ShelteredAristocrat sheltered all of her life]]. Unlike the rest of the party, she is very [[LoveFreak kind]] and [[AllLovingHero never hesitates to show compassion]]. This lead to some [[MindRape unfortunate]] [[BrainwashedAndCrazy consequences]], but she eventually recovers.

** Hana. She is older than she looks due to a self-inflicted PlotRelevantAgeUp, and she is very innocent and naive about the world. She tries to help others, but she is not very conscious about having to keep her powers a secret. In fact, she has risked exposure countless times throughout ''Dokkan'' but remains unconcerned despite [[BalefulPolymorph what happens you're exposed in this world...]]

* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'': Subverted with Hikari/Kari. At first she seems like nothing more than the AffirmativeActionGirl and/or the IllGirl of TheTeam. She's innocent, sweet, holder of the Crest of ''Light'' and hates to see other people in pain. However [[PluckyGirl she also has all the guts and nerve]] of the older [[BigBrotherWorship brother she idolises]] and at the age of ''eight'' is capable of holding her own.

** Tohru Honda is definitely this with how she enters and approaches the various members of the Sohma family.
