* ''Series/{{Yellowjackets}}'': Akilah becomes this in Season 2, with her OddFriendship where she finds a mouse in the cabin, names him Nugget and starts affectionately taking care of him. The fact that [[spoiler:she was hallucinating him (he'd been DeadAllAlong)]] just makes her all the more huggable.

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]].



** Madison can be quite adorable, due to her dazzling smile, caring nature, initial ShrinkingViolet characterization, and EekAMouse reaction to seeing a frog that gets overcome once the frog saves her life.
** Clare, due to her CuteClumsyGirl comic relief moments and eager desire to help out the heroes.

** Kent from "The Question" is the living embodiment of every TheHeart cliche you could expect to find in a BootCampEpisode story, but his actor is very earnest about it and gives him some pretty touching moments.

** Two for one: both [[NamesTheSame Jenny]]s from the revival series qualify. The Tenth Doctor's "daughter" is a LittleMissBadass HairOfGoldHeartOfGold woman who, fittingly, is {{adorkable}} and peppy just like Ten himself. [[ReallyWasBornYesterday Her newness to the world and desire to learn comes across as extremely endearing]]. Meanwhile, Jenny Flint, from [[BadassCrew the Paternoster Gang]] during the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctor eras, is 100% BadassAdorable. She is best described as having the abilities and SpyCatsuit of Marvel's ComicBook/BlackWidow with the personality of an anime girl. To sum it up, she plays up the aesthetic of submissive maid to her wife and is a complete sweetheart to everyone else as well. Her Cockney accent adds even more to the overload of cuteness she has going on already.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** The Doctor themself is sometimes this, especially their Tenth incarnation. It went UpToEleven in their Eleventh incarnation, who was basically a big, overgrown puppy in human form. The Eighth incarnation in AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho also falls under this at times. So, interestingly, is the other-wise acerbic Twelfth incarnation, especially during Series 9 where it's clear the man needs a hug but rarely gets one when he needs it, and he reverts to a near-childlike state briefly when he's forced to say goodbye to [[spoiler: Clara, who is about to be KilledOffForReal]]. Their Thirteenth incarnation is this from her debut onwards, with her {{Adorkable}}, childlike personality and high empathy for everything around her.
