A character who is InTraining for something, usually under some kind of [[{{Mentors}} Mentor]]. Since they're still just learning, they are usually not very good, but if the show is long enough, they'll improve at least a little. Unless they're a ButtMonkey. If they're in a movie, they'll improve after a GonnaFlyNowMontage.
