*** It is a telling point that Clara idolises Marcus Aurelius, the last of Rome's "Five Good Emperors." The opening scene in [[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor "Day of the Doctor"]] has her quoting Aurelius: "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one." In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E1DeepBreath "Deep Breath"]], the first adventure of the 12th Doctor (Peter Capaldi), she admitted to Vastra that Aurelius was the only pin-up she had in her room as a teen. She insists that, while initially thrown by the Doctor's change in appearance, she is more interested in a good man than a pretty boy.

* ''Series/{{Castle}}'' Rick Castle initially comes across as a rich playboy CasanovaWannabe ManChild whom Detective Kate Beckett at best tolerates (when not dealing with UnresolvedSexualTension), but as the series goes on, she discovers that, while he still is a manchild, he is also a highly intelligent and thoughtful man who is a good father to Alexis and likes to see the people he cares about happy, and is not above [[UnclePennybags using his wealth to achieve that goal]]. The more she sees of Castle's real self, the more she warms up to him, [[spoiler: to the point where they become an OfficialCouple by the end of Season 4.]]
