A character who is InTraining for something, usually under some kind of [[{{Mentors}} Mentor]]. Since they're still learning, they are usually not good, but if the show is long enough, they'll improve. If they're in a movie, they'll improve after a TrainingMontage. Sometimes they have a chance of falling and becoming a villain, in which their former mentor will say they were APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil.

** The Forwards (Subaru Nakajima, Teana Lanster, Erio Mondial, Caro Ru Lushe) from ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'' are the students of VeteranInstructor Nanoha. Other teachers are Vita, Fate Testarossa-Harlaown and Signum, but Nanoha is the main teacher, with Vita as Nanoha's assistant. In ''Force'', they train under Nanoha again. Teana in particular holds the exclusive honor of having been apprenticed to both of the series' overarching leads, Nanoha (during her Forward training) and Fate (during her Enforcer training), -- accordingly, she is the only member of any younger generation of mages to have passed the [[TheAce S mage rank examination]] so far.
