* ''TheInspectorLynleyMysteries''' DS Barbara Havers - played by SharonSmall, she of the heart-shaped face and enormous green eyes - ''definitely'' qualifies as this, particularly since she is a "puppy" [[TheWoobie the world keeps kicking]]. Of course, unlike most kicked puppies, [[JerkassWoobie she]] [[{{Tsundere}} bites back]]... but she [[CharacterDevelopment gets over that]] eventually. ([[DeadpanSnarker Well]], [[SarcasticDevotee mostly]].) And that doesn't stop her 'kicked puppy look' from being one of the most effective on television.

* Gaius Baltar in the reimagining of ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|Reimagined}}'' is perceived this way by female fans.

* ''{{Firefly}}'':
** Kaylee Frye. Whedon likes his anime.
** Goes double for River. On top of being ''very'' Moe, she's also 125% [[TheWoobie woobie.]]
* SummerGlau and ''TheSarahConnorChronicles'' Cameron. The girl plays the {{Moe}} to maximum effect.
* ''{{Dollhouse}}'':
** Summer Glau as Bennett. So Moe that she threatens to create an adorable Moe singularity.
** Sierra's fan girl persona. Sierra's default state seems to be [[TheWoobie woobie.]]
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
** Willow, when she's not, y'know, evil. This is especially noticeable in the first few seasons.
** Tara. [[spoiler:One of several reasons it was such a sucker-punch when she was killed.]]
** Dawn.
* ''Series/{{Angel}}'': Fred, especially with her ability to put more words in 3 seconds than any other person in the whole planet.
* [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Marlena_Moreau_(mirror) Marlena Moreau]] from the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "Mirror, Mirror." So cute. So seemingly [[ManipulativeBitch cold and calculating]], yet so [[TheWoobie abused and fragile]] under the skin.
** Also [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Gem Gem]] from the episode "The Empath." She never speaks a word, and all you see her do is take peoples' pain away like E.T.
** Also, also, [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Jame_Finney Jame Finney]], the teenage daughter of one of Kirk's friends and a ''very'' emotional ShrinkingViolet UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}} with blue eyes big enough to drown in and a pleated miniskirt that screams "[[SailorFuku schoolgirl]]". When she apologizes to Kirk so sheepishly, you just want to give her a big hug.
* (Kelly) Erin Hannon on ''Series/TheOfficeUS''
* In ''DenshaOtoko'', the eponymous character's {{otaku}} friends mention the word "{{Moe}}" in front of Hermes, and Hermes, who is [[{{Muggles}} a normal human being]] and does not know what the word means, asks them, "{{Moe}}?" The friends think this is so {{Moe}} that they record her saying it.
* ''SmallWonder'', a show about a RobotGirl living with her inventor and his family and making their lives a mess while being innocently cute. A rare American example of the theme.
* Lexie Grey (aka: "Little Grey") from ''GreysAnatomy''. Yeah, the one with the juice box... Not a virgin, but about as pure as a character can get on that show...
* To an extent ''Series/DoctorWho's'' Jo Grant and Polly cover this territory at times.
** Also, Amy Pond and her husband, Rory, who is {{adorkable}} in human form.
* Spencer Reid from ''Series/CriminalMinds''. Conspicuously the youngest member of the BAU, Reid's adorableness is frequently signposted by Matthew Gray Gubler's voice jumping an octave and random characters flipping his hair. The writers once devoted the first two minutes of an episode about another team member's grave childhood trauma to Reid performing "physics magic" with utter joy.
* Cat Valentine on ''{{Victorious}}''.
* Zack Addy from ''Series/{{Bones}}'' should count too. He was the young, innocent and socially awkward member of the squints (forensic geeks) and was like the little puppy of the team. Everyone loved him, sometimes more than the two main characters.
* Mei/Pteraranger from ''KyoryuSentaiZyuranger''. A pure-hearted, sweet, kind WarriorPrincess who also possesses a high-pitched voice that would belong to a {{Moe}} character in anime, even though [[CuteButCacophonic it might get on your nerves]] sometimes. Interesting that her ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' counterpart is a hot MsFanservice instead.
* Speaking of ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', [[Series/PowerRangersRPM Doctor K]]. ShorterMeansSmarter meets WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds.
** For a male example, we have [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Trip]]. Appears younger than the rest of his teammates (his actor, Kevin Kleinberg, was 17 when he got the part), has mild {{cloudcuckoolander}} tendencies, is [[GadgeteerGenius really good with tech]], his innocence once led to him falling for a villain's plan, and, most importantly, he is [[http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8eqlrPxep1r2qdjeo5_500.png downright adorable]].
* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': Abby Sciuto is a moe PerkyGoth who frequently wears ZettaiRyouiki and pigtails. She doesn't have the moe personality though; being more of a BadassAdorable when threatened.
* Annie Edison of ''Series/{{Community}}''. When an argument makes her bring out the PuppyDogEyes, everyone else (except Jeff) has to close their eyes to avoid instantly forgiving her.
* Emma on ''Series/{{Glee}}''.
** And even moreso than Emma, ''Kurt''. If you took all the most adorable traits a twenty-year-old guy could possibly have and smushed them all together, you'd get Kurt's actor ChrisColfer.
** Brittany! Her childish nativity and sweetness is an ungodly cute combination.
* Howard's girlfriend Bernadette from ''TheBigBangTheory''. Seriously, she's a short, adorable blonde who wears glasses and has an incredibly cute voice, she's like an assertive live-action [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Mikuru]] with slightly smaller breasts.
* Alexis Castle from ''{{Castle}}''.
* On ''DaddysDaughters'', ChildProdigy [[http://www.papinydochki.ru/wp-content/photos/Galina_Sergeevna_small.jpg Galina]] [[http://www.papinydochki.ru/wp-content/photos/liza_arzamasova.jpg Sergeevna]] (LizaArzamasova) is a realistic-looking example of MoeMoe.

This fits with her role as TheHeart, as she is easily the most dreamy, romantic character on the show. MiraFurlan's dreamy green eyes don't hurt, nor does the fact that her nose goes all adorably wrinkled when she's confused or [[WhenSheSmiles smiling]].
* Toshiko Sato, from ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' (although we first see her character on a Ninth Doctor ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode). A HotLibrarian, {{Meganekko}}, [[ShrinkingViolet shy and timid]], and [[AllLoveIsUnrequited has been in love]] with her {{jerkass}} coworker for some time now, but has never been brave enough to pursue her affections.
* Joshua from DarkAngel is an unexpectedly adorable ''Moe''. Maybe not in appearance, what with him being a seven-foot mutant dog-man. However, his sweet, gentle, idealistic personality and [[TheWoobie tragic story]] leave many just wanting to give him a big hug.
* Rather surprisingly, BenedictCumberbatch's performance as a very young StephenHawking in BBC's ''Film/{{Hawking}}'' inspires ''moe'' feelings in the female fanbase, at least if the comments on youtube and tumblr are at all indicative.
** Perhaps this isn't too surprising. Viewed in terms of tropes and not as a depiction of the history of theoretical physics, this is an {{Adorkable}} actor with a [[WhenHeSmiles beautiful smile]] playing a CuteGlassesBoy-StoicWoobie-IllBoy-[[LovableNerd nerd]] who uses [[GeekyTurnOn physics trivia]] and [[WaxingLyrical Beatles lyrics]] to flirt with the girl he likes.
* Sir Mordred from {{Series/Merlin}}. Why yes, ''[[KingArthur that]]'' [[BigBad Mordred]]. His younger self qualified as CreepyAwesome, but Mordred as an adult is an {{Adorkable}} [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee Arthur fanboy]] of the non-annoying variety who just wants to be the best Knight he can be. Plus, [[spoiler: spoilers say that it will be Arthur's own fault when he [[FaceHeelTurn eventually turns on him]]]].
* Anna from ''TheVampireDiaries''.
** In season 4, April can qualify as well.
