20->''"Everybody! Love! And! Peace!"''
21-->-- '''Selphie Tilmitt''', ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''
22
23You know when someone is said to be InLoveWithLove? These people take it to a ''literal'' level.
24
25The Love Freak is obsessed with the very concept of love. Often spouting dialogue about ThePowerOfLove and [[ForGreatJustice justice]], this character is [[WideEyedIdealist naive]] and [[TheDitz lacks common sense]]; her ([[WomenAreDelicate it’s usually a her]]) {{determinat|or}}ion is usually the only thing keeping her from being completely incompetent (even if she is potentially very powerful).
26
27How satirically this character is portrayed depends on the mood and personality of the lead, although writers typically design her to be somewhat sympathetic. Nonetheless, it is difficult for the other characters to really dislike her because she is honestly nice and a loyal friend.
28
29Somewhat like the AllLovingHero, but not as charismatic or as effective, placing this character in a supporting role 99% of the time. May admire the KnightTemplar at first and continue to do so if the Templar is not portrayed negatively. Occasionally, she may even ''be'' the KnightTemplar who's determined to [[BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood spread love]], [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans all around the world]], [[TheUnfettered at any cost]]. Worst case scenario, she's an outright {{hypocrite}} who's [[HeWhoFightsMonsters just as sneaky and/or outright violent as the wickedness she supposedly fights]].
30
31See also ThePollyanna, NaiveEverygirl, StupidGood, ShipperOnDeck. Occasionally has problems if they're forced to be a ReluctantWarrior.
32
33Not to be confused with the [[LoveMakesYouCrazy other]] type of Love Freak.

39
40[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
41%%* Hotaru from ''Manga/DotHackLegendOfTheTwilight''.
42* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': Before the story began, Rentarou Aijou fell in love with, confessed to, and was rejected by 100 girls during his lifetime, the first time being when he was eight months old. When he learns that he is destined to meet 100 soulmates in high school, he does everything in his power to ensure his girlfriends are happy with him.
43** [[LikeMotherLikeDaughter Hakari and Hahari]] can also be labeled with this: the former will swoon over pretty much anything Rentarou does, while the latter just openly lusts after Rentarou and all the other girlfriends while acting as if she were their mommy.
44%%* Haiji from ''Manga/AiKora''.
45%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * Akari from ''Manga/{{ARIA}}'' fits this trope like a single glove, though ''the entire show itself'' could also be argued to qualify.
46* Stomped into the dirt and ground under Creator/JunjiIto's heel in the story ''Army Of One''. The titular group preaches that everyone is friends and should join hearts and love each other... by killing people and sewing them together in increasingly and creatively brutal fashions. Turns out it's [[spoiler: Natsuko somehow doing it all by herself.]]
47-->'''Radio:''' Gather round, people! All together now! Nobody likes a lonely only! Everyone's your friend, everyone's your friend, when you join hearts and sing - Army of One, we're an Army of One! Everybody join hands now, everybody join hearts now, Army of Oooooone!!
48* Elmer C. Albatross of ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'' is a hardcore example, to the point where his behavior often stops being annoying and becomes seriously disturbing (such as when he cheerfully encourages a young girl to smile after her fiancée was murdered right in front of her). This is probably because he [[TheAntiNihilist doesn't see any inherent meaning or morality in the world]], so instead he just wants everyone to be happy.
49* Riruka Dokugamine from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' is something of an example, as she proclaims her Fullbring ability to be ThePowerOfLove. Her power is supposedly compatible with anything she loves (which are mostly stuffed animals and other cute girly things). [[spoiler:She's also the TokenGoodTeammate among the Fullbringers.]] However, she has some {{tsundere}} tendencies that prevent her from being a complete example.
50* Bojiggler from ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo'' takes this trope to its logical extreme--one minute he's preaching about love and peace and how much he hates hurting people; the next he's beating or blasting the everloving shit out of people for ''no reason at all!''
51* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
52** In anime filler and other material, Dabra turns into one after spending time in heaven after dying (due to King Yemma deciding he'd like hell too much). He becomes obsessed with flowers, and squees when he realizes Videl has a crush on Gohan.
53** The Maiden Squadron from ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', as a {{Parody}} of MagicalGirl series, believe in the PowerOfLove and mention it in the {{Anime}} (not {{Manga}}) in almost every sentence. Their leader Ribrianne takes this behavior to extremes.
54* From the same creator as ''Baccano!'' comes [[spoiler:Saika]] of ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'', a [[spoiler:sword]] who just wants to love anyone and everyone. Of course, since she's [[spoiler:an EmpathicWeapon that "breeds" by cutting people]], [[TheVirus this dream can only end in disaster]].
55* Sherry from ''Manga/FairyTail''. While not the standard (she was initially a villain), her first appearance consists of her simply talking about love.
56-->'''Sherry''': We'll throw them into eternal darkness. In other words... ''love''.
57-->'''Sherry''': Reitei sama will never love me now!
58%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample ** Her cousin Chelia, in the time skip, shares the same sentiment.
59* Fran Madaraki of ''Manga/FrankenFran'' is a self-described "lover of love" and frequently performs procedures that she believes will bring couples together. Although she's far from incompetent-- she may be the second-best surgeon in the world, after her creator-- she's extremely naive and her medical ethics are questionable at the very best.
60* Albert from ''Anime/{{Gankutsuou}}'' becomes this somewhat, after getting convinced that what matters most for people to marry for is love. Initially, it was Maximilien who thought this way more, but he later became more understanding after hearing Franz tell him that marrying the one you love isn't always the way to bring them happiness. So instead, [[WideEyedIdealist Albert]] becomes the one more obsessed with it than Maximilien. Because of his fixation on the idea of [[ThePowerOfLove true love]], he starts questioning his own ArrangedMarriage with Eugenie and frequently talks about how he wishes to truly experience love...
61* ''America'' from ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' is a good candidate for this - though he's mostly got a [[AmericaSavesTheDay hero complex]]. He does mention [[spoiler:getting back ''Lithuania'' and ''Poland'' together for justice]] in a pretty famous comic strip in which [[spoiler:America and Lithuania are lying in bed and talking about the men in their lives]], and anyway - a 'hero' complex has everything to do with love and justice. Though does preaching that they'll save love and justice count?
62* Winner Sinclair from ''Manga/{{Karin}}'' is a spoof, often rattling off words that make no sense in Japanese (he's Romanian) but have something to do with love or determination or whatnot. Nobody takes him seriously. The kicker is, the KnightTemplar's his grandfather.
63* Yuuri from ''Literature/KyoKaraMaoh'', who becomes king of the Demons and sets out to end thousands of years of racism by reaching out the Humans with compassion and never distrusting anyone, ever. Because he has such [[UndyingLoyalty good]] [[TrueCompanions support]], it works. Mostly.
64* [[spoiler:Shinka]] in the animated version of ''Literature/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'' was one when she was in the MsImagination stage. While she grew out of it and saw that as OldShame, she still shows traces of it now.
65* In ''Literature/MagiciansAcademy'', specifically episode 5 introduces [[spoiler:Hapshiel]] who loves everyone and wants to share this. Seeing as [[spoiler:he's invincible as well as dense as a plank and a bisexual masochist he doesn't really know how to stop loving people.]]
66%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * ''Manga/{{Magikano}}'''s dirt-poor, oblivious witch hunter, Marin.
67* In ''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico'' Yurika's overriding and outspoken faith in True Love and Justice ([[ClingyJealousGirl especially True Love]]) accounts for about 50% of the "Ditz" in her GeniusDitz personality. The other half is just being generally {{Cloudcuckoolander}}.
68* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': Mina Ashido of Class 1-A tends to get excited whenever the topic of romance comes up, like when Ms. Joke made a (joking) marriage proposal to Aizawa, and also when she deduces that Uraraka is spacing out because she's got a crush on someone. She gets very interested in the love lives of everyone, though she herself hasn't been in love with anyone.
69* Might Guy of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' is perpetually ranting about love and springtime and [[HotBlooded passionate, flaming youth]] (In a completely non-sexual way, believe it or not), and is eagerly imitated by his [[BadassNormal star pupil, Rock Lee]]. He even persuades said student to undergo a risky operation by promising to 'follow' him if he doesn't survive. Then they tearfully embrace.
70* Konoka Konoe of ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' tends to get gooey and hyper whenever the subject of love arises. When Ku Fei asks what "love feels like", she instantly latches onto the conversation and wonders who Ku's in love with.
71* Ai Tanabe from ''Manga/{{Planetes}}'' always preaches about love and kindness to others. Appropriately enough, [[MeaningfulName her first name]] means "love" in Japanese.
72%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Duck/Ahiru from ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' -- even more so (if such a thing is possible) when she's in Tutu form. More importantly, she's much more eloquent and persuasive about it.
73* ''Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets'': Surprisingly, Nino Nakano, who is a Harsh-type {{Tsundere}}, has a very idealized outlook on love. She dreams of finding a PrinceCharming[=/=]KnightInShiningArmor partner for herself, and despite hating Fuutarou ([[LovesMyAlterEgo or so she thinks]]), she's moved to tears when he tells her the story of his first love and even tries to comfort him saying that there must be someone for him out there, believing that for everyone in the world there must be someone who will love them.
74* An itinerant P.E. teacher in a filler episode in the ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' anime. He's over-the-top emotional and says his students should always [[FollowYourHeart follow their hearts.]]
75* In ''Manga/TheRedRangerBecomesAnAdventurerInAnotherWorld'', Tougo is a HenshinHero whose powers run on ThePowerOfFriendship, so he believes that any problem can be solved with the power of the bonds between people. He inserts "bond" and "friendship" in his sentences whenever possible, and his response to any crisis is to tell others to believe in the power of his bonds with them to help him charge up enough Kizuna Energy to spectacularly win the fight. Lampshaded by Idola, who is surprised that he doesn't talk about bonds after she offers to help him find a way home.
76* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'':
77** Usagi Tsukino is a ditzy, naive, idealistic AllLovingHeroine whose InTheNameOfTheMoon speech has her call herself a guardian of love and justice.
78** Aino Minako, or Sailor Venus, goes on about love as much as Sailor Moon, because she's aware she's an incarnation of the goddess Venus/Aphrodite or at least connected to her. She tries to play this up but fails at it as her being unlucky in love despite this is a recurring theme throughout her manga, ''Manga/CodenameSailorV.''
79%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* [[ThePollyanna Fuura Kafuka]] from ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei''; also extremely [[TheDitz ditzy]] and played for every drop of satire the series can wring out of her. Do note that on a few rare occasions, hints are dropped that this behavior is [[StepfordSmiler nothing but an act]], and we should actually be [[BewareTheNiceOnes VERY afraid of Kafuka.]]
80* Kazehana, from ''Manga/{{Sekirei}}'', is somewhat of a more mature example. While she starts out as a BrokenBird nursing a broken heart and becomes the CoolBigSis of the group.....she's also prone to interrupting serious moments by squealing about how wonderful ~love~ is. Musubi and [[spoiler: Yume]] play it more straight, giving speeches about ThePowerOfLove.
81* El in ''Manga/ShugoChara'' is a prime example, making speeches about love whenever she possibly can.
82* President Lory Takarada of ''Manga/SkipBeat'' is in love with love. He likes to spread and preach about the wonders of love whenever he can and believes in it more than anything else in the world. He's so infamous for his dedication to love and romance that everybody in his company is well aware of it.
83* ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'':
84** Princess Amelia is a ditzy WideEyedIdealist, and her love of justice is her defining trait in the anime and early manga.
85** Amelia's father, Prince Phil, is an ''even more'' over-the-top gender-flipped version. He [[CallingYourAttacks gives his attacks love-based names]], like "Kindness to all Creatures Kick!"
86* Vash in ''Manga/{{Trigun}}''. ''"My name is Vash the Stampede. I am a hunter of peace, chasing the elusive mayfly known as love..."'' Cue BishieSparkle. Unfortunately, it's really part of his StepfordSmiler routine. PEACE AND LOVE!
87-->'''Vash:''' Repeat after me! This world is made of...\
88'''Mayor:''' ...\
89'''Vash:''' THIS WORLD IS MADE!!\
90'''Mayor:''' Th-This world is made...\
91'''Vash:''' Of Love...and PEACE!!
92%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Every single character in ''Manga/WeddingPeach'' who's on the good side is a LoveFreak, including the one who got a ([[ThePowerOfLove magically forced]]) HeelFaceTurn.
93* In ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'', Keima Katsuragi always blabbers about love... in games. He's rather detached from reality (to say the least), but he's anything but incompetent.
94%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * Strike Man from ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest'' really ''is'' incompetent, and is played for laughs.
95* Anzu/Tea Mazaki of ''Anime/YuGiOh'' seems hardly able to speak about anything but ThePowerOfFriendship. She wasn't as bad in the original Japanese; Anzu allowed herself to be a bit more cynical.
96** Parodied in the Abridged Series with her trying to fix a lightning bolt to the head with friendship.
97** [[MoralityPet Mokuba]] is also portrayed this way in ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', desperately trying to make friends in what amounts to a cast of JerkAss actors. In the original, Mokuba only obsessed over his [[PromotionToParent Promoted To Parent]] big brother.

100[[folder:Comic Books]]
101* [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] and [[ExaggeratedTrope taken up to eleven]] with the Star Sapphire Corps from [[Creator/DCComics DC Comics]]. Just like how their counterparts in the [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Green Lantern Corps]] are powered by will and courage, the Star Sapphire rings are literally [[ThePowerOfLove powered by love]]. And just like how you need great willpower to join the Green Lanterns, you need to have great love in your heart to join the Star Sapphires. This basically means that love itself is a major part of the Star Sapphires’ culture and philosophy since it is literally the source of their power. Unusually for this trope, when it comes to the “nutty” part, it’s ''not'' played for laughs in this case, because since love is one of the strongest emotions of the emotional spectrum, those who are exposed to the violet light of love may end up going nuts and turn into [[AxCrazy crazy]] [[{{Yandere}} yanderes]], which happened several times to Hal Jordan’s love interests over the years. Thankfully, the Sapphires have figured out how to use the violet light without (for the most part) going crazy, so it’s not much of a problem anymore. Basically, every time you see a Star Sapphire, expect them to preach about the power of love and using it to kick ass. Like the Green Lanterns, they’ve also got their own [[BadassCreed Lantern Oath]] that preaches about the power of their respective emotion, so their motto is ''literally'' about being this trope and using the power of love to help those whose hearts and love are in danger:
102-->''"For hearts long lost and full of fright,\
103for those alone in blackest night,\
104accept our ring and join our fight.\
105LOVE CONQUERS ALL WITH VIOLET LIGHT!"''
106[[/folder]]
107
108[[folder:Fan Works]]
109* Seto Kaiba, of all people, is this in season 0 of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''. It's disturbing not just to [[HorrifyingTheHorror Yami]] but to the audience as well, considering [[JerkAss what regular Kaiba is]].
110* In most ''Literature/TheCampHalfBloodSeries'' fanfics, Aphrodite, as the goddess of love is a certified Love Freak. She especially takes the cake in ''Fanfic/TheyllNameACityAfterUs'', in which she aids and abets a kidnapper, risking a DivineConflict instigated by the victim's PapaWolf just because the kidnapper is madly in love with his victim.
111[[/folder]]
112
113[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
114* Christian, the lead in ''Film/MoulinRouge'' has never been in love, but this does not deter his enthusiasm in the slightest. Above all things, he ''believes'' in love:
115-->'''Christian:''' Love is like oxygen! Love is a many-splendored thing! Love lifts us up where we belong! All you need is love!
116[[/folder]]
117
118[[folder:Literature]]
119* In the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' [[Literature/DisgaeaNovels novels]] we meet [[TropeNamers Flonne]]'s parents, [[Characters/DisgaeaNovels Terre and Elle]], two HappilyMarried angels who may be even bigger love freaks than their daughter.
120* In Creator/AletheaKontis's ''Literature/{{Enchanted}}'', Friday is "loving and giving," spending all her time helping orphans and the old, and [[TextileWorkIsFeminine sewing clothes for them.]]
121* [[TheOphelia Marianne Engel]] from ''Literature/TheGargoyle'':
122-->This Christmas Day had shown me that Marianne Engel's love was not feeble. It was strapping, it was muscular, it was massive. I thought that it could fill the entire hospital. More important, her love was not reserved only for me; it was shared generously with strangers — people she didn't think were friends from the fourteenth century.
123%% * Jessamine Lovelace from ''Literature/TheInfernalDevices'', wants someone to take her away from the Institute.
124* The main character in ''Literature/InvisibleMan'' is a good example of what happens when one of these people actually gets followers (most of whom are absolutely desperate for someone to guide them out of the hell they're living in.) It doesn't go well, but only because he's also a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter and an UnwittingPawn.
125* ''Literature/JeevesAndWooster'': Madeline Bassett. "The stars are God's daisy chain." [[http://www.hatsharpening.com/j&w/quotes/Madeline.mp3 That is all.]]
126* The [[EccentricMentor eccentric rabbi]] Emmanuel aka Manuila in ''[[Literature/SisterPelagia Pelagia and the Red Rooster]]''. [[spoiler:Which makes sense, given that he's implied to be the time-traveling real-world prototype of UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}.]]
127-->And he also said: 'Do not strive to love the whole world; that way not many people will get much love. When you wish to build a tall tower, first sit down and work out if you have the funds to complete the building. But there are many who promise to love the whole world and all people, although they have no idea what love is. They cannot even love themselves. Do not dilute your love, do not spread it in a thin layer, like a drop of oil on a large pancake. Rather love your family and friends, but with all your heart. If your strength is very little, love yourself, but truly and faithfully. Do not betray yourself. That is, do not betray God, for he is your true self. And if you are true to yourself, that will be your salvation.'
128%%* The children of Aphrodite in ''Literature/{{Percy Jackson and the Olympians}}''. ZERO CONTEXT EXAMPLE
129* ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'': {{Inverted}} by Lesedi Ingwe. Her previous experiences with romantic relationships have pretty much all been negative--she watched Ophelia's feelings for Godfrey go to hell in a handbasket, then [[SeductionAsOneUpmanship had her own love interests get repeatedly seduced by her archrival Khiirgi Albschuch]]--and so she gets distinctly grumpy after realizing that Oliver is the apex of a LoveTriangle between Nanao and Katie (and Pete, but she didn't realize), telling him to "leave his love life on the surface".
130[[/folder]]
131
132[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
133%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Cupids and [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Whitelighters]] in ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}''.
134* In ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', psychiatrist [[ThePollyanna Molly]] [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Clock]] believed that love and happiness motivated everybody on some level, and resident bastards Dr. Cox and Kelso couldn't convince her that [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike "People are bastard coated bastards with bastard filling."]] They try to break her spirit by being mean to her, though when she fakes being upset they feel bad about it and prove to her that what she said about people being good on the inside was right.
135* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': Cupids "love love" – they are not known to pursue romantic relationships for themselves, but find fulfillment in setting up relationships between humans
136[[/folder]]
137
138%%[[folder:Manhwa]]
139%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Miss Crangela from ''Manhwa/{{LetDai}}'' is quite a realistic example.
140%%[[/folder]]
141
142[[folder:Roleplay]]
143* Orn "Dutchy" Ayers of ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' v4. At one point, he makes a speech to the [[SinisterSurveillance cameras]] that he and his friends will prevail over Danya and the game due to ThePowerOfFriendship, saying that friendship will always win over evil. Worth noting, though, is during this speech he is showing the camera (which is broadcasting to live television) the island's map, in an attempt to help any rescuers find where they are. He's also portrayed a lot more sympathetically than most.
144[[/folder]]
145
146[[folder:Theatre]]
147* Uncle Fester in ''Theatre/TheAddamsFamily'', illustrated by his song, "Let's Not Talk About Anything Else [but love]".
148* ''Theatre/{{Patience}}'' by Music/GilbertAndSullivan has the entire female chorus obsessed by the poetic ideal of love (although, this being a satire, their ideal involves a lot of melodramatic pining and [[LoveHurts sounds generally unpleasant]]).
149* Hope from ''Theatre/{{Urinetown}}'', whose insistence on "following your heart" ends up [[spoiler:squandering the water supply and killing most of the city of thirst; it's implied she ends up dead at the survivors' hands.]] Moral of the story: [[SpoofAesop Don't put the Love Freak in charge]].
150[[/folder]]
151
152[[folder:Video Games]]
153* Deconstructed in ''VideoGame/DotHackGU'' in the form of Atoli. Her LoveFreak attributes drive her to be close to an anti-PVP guild (where PVP is SeriousBusiness in the game). She is ''so'' much of a LoveFreak that Haseo basically went nuts. What nobody knows is that [[spoiler: this is motivated by her complete lack of self-esteem which pushes her to do "good" stuff to gain acceptance]]. To twist the knife further, her most trusted friend/mentor [[spoiler:Sakaki is actually manipulating her, milking her trust in him and her powers of the Second Epitaph, Innis]]. Oh, and did we mention she met him on [[spoiler: a ''suicide website'']]?
154* [[MeaningfulName Aino Heart]], the main character from the [[ImprobablyFemaleCast all-girls fighting game]] ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'' is a ''literal'' Love Freak, up to the point that her Arcana is a ''[[ThePowerOfLove love]]'' elemental. Hell, her ''[[IdiotHair ahoge]]'' is ''[[HeartSymbol heart-shaped]]''. Her win quotes all espouse the virtues of love over fighting, and since there are no guys around for her to use these on, this can lead to some...''[[LesYay interesting]]'' interpretations.
155* Cynthia, the [[CloudCuckooLander eccentric]] weapon shop owner from ''VideoGame/ArTonelicoIIMelodyOfMetafalica''. She very frequently brings up her loving relationship with the protagonist (hint: only she thinks there is one) and insists that weapons be forged with massive amounts of love.
156%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Bang Shishigami, '''[[NoIndoorVoice THE NINJA OF LOVE AND JUSTICE]]''', from ''VideoGame/{{BlazBlue}}''.
157* Videogame/{{DeathSpank}} is a ''Hero of the Downtrodden, Dispenser of Justice and Vanquisher of evil''. The word Justice is present in some way or form in almost every conversation he has.
158* The {{Trope Namer|s}} here is Angel Trainee Flonne from ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness'', who is actually called a "Love Freak" in the game.
159** So much of a love freak, that she can't so much as jump in battle without saying the word in some of the games.
160** She is contrasted with two of the series' Archangels, to show how much more she ''gets'' the whole "[[ThePowerOfLove Power of Love]]" thing than them; Vulcanus pays lip service to the concept but is actually a hateful bigot, and while [[VideoGame/DisgaeaDimension2 Virunga]] is kinder, legitimately well-intentioned, and even tries to claim his actions in the name of "Love", he doesn't realize that taking Sicily back to Celestia is CruelMercy and she is actually happier in the Netherworld. Flonne is such a pure example of this trope that she eventually [[spoiler:becomes an Archangel herself after/despite having been turned into a Demon for attacking Heaven]].
161** In one of the alternate endings in Disgaea D2, she has so much love that she unleashes some sort of ultimate love attack and causes Barbara to retreat out of an inability to fight the love. Unfortunately, she can't stop causing whatever effect she's making, resulting in unleashing so much angelic power and love that she accidentally turns the entire Netherworld into a second Celestia (think "Heaven"). Not only does this entirely negate every single thing the main characters were working for, but it results in Flonne personally apologizing to every demon in the Netherworld...while still trying to promote love to them.
162** It's implied that Laharl and Sicily's mother, the Queen, was a LoveFreak herself before she died. According to Laharl and Etna, she would give her son lectures on love that were similar to Flonne's. The reason Laharl is so obstinate when it comes to love, or even any positive feelings, is because of her HeroicSacrifice.
163* Before you learn of [[BreakTheCutie her]] [[TraumaCongaLine back]][[TheAtoner story]], [[NaughtyNuns Leliana]] in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' appears to be one.
164* ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'' has Chiaki, a massive {{Sentai}} fan who seemingly never runs out of energy or optimism and loves to spout incredibly cheesy lines about Friendship and Justice!! Unfortunately for him, most people around him find him overly clingy and downright ''exhausting''.
165%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Polka from ''VideoGame/EternalSonata''.
166* Kim Kaphwan of the ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' series has made it his life's goal to eliminate evil and stand for justice and truth... as well as strong-arming criminals into his "reformatory" program of intensive training[[note]]his reformation of Chang Koehan and Choi Bounge led to the formation of Team Korea in the ''King of Fighters'' series[[/note]]. Later on in the series, he seems to gain the ability to DetectEvil, as his eyes glow yellow whenever he meets up with an evil character. Indeed, fans often use Kim's "evil sense" as a way to determine whether or not a character is truly a villain. His son Jae Hoon also follows suit and sometimes labels someone overconfident but not completely evil like Gato... EVIL!
167** Tizoc/The Griffon is a Justice Freak who is not from the Kim family. Justified, because he is somewhat of an idol to children and has to uphold the "hero of justice" persona for their sake. Like Kim, he also has a special intro against evil people.
168* Fairy Knight Gawain from ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' is an AmazonianBeauty who ReallyGetsAround, with it later being revealed that she's obsessed with love because it's the only thing that can stave off her HorrorHunger.
169* While she does not preach to others, the ever-cheerful Milfie from ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel'' loves pretty much everyone. This also makes her the easiest to perform well in battle and the Lucky Star is already generally better than the other ships to begin well.
170* Alfina from ''VideoGame/GrandiaIII'', as shown in [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/02/22/ this]] ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' strip.
171* Elphelt [[MeaningfulName Valentine]] from ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear Xrd'' is a special version of this -- a '''Wedding''' Freak. She fights in a FairytaleWeddingDress, [[ImprobableWeaponUser wields bouquets and]] [[GrievousBottleyHarm champagne bottles]] ([[TheGunslinger as well as guns]]), has attack with names like "Bridal Express", and her [[OneHitKill Insta-Kill move]] involves [[Music/BonJovi shooting the opponent through the heart]], making them sprout heart-shaped WingdingEyes before falling over. Her pre-fight quotes include such gems as "If I win, we're having a long talk about ''us''."
172** She also [[WishfulProjection projects her own quirks onto everyone she meets]]: in Story Mode, she assumes that every female fighter she encounters wants to team up to find love, and her victory animation has her pull a marriage contract out of [[VictoriasSecretCompartment her considerable cleavage]] and present it to her fallen opponent, claiming that (if male) they promised to marry her if she won the fight or (if female) they promised to hook her up with one of their male friends. She also has elements of CovertPervert, seen in her victory animation when she starts imagining her wedding night and falls over with a {{Nosebleed}}.
173* Sora from ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' is more of a "Friendship Freak", but his often cut-scene covering speeches about [[ThePowerOfFriendship how nobody can defeat one, who's got friends, love and a strong heart]] could easily compete with that of your average Love Freak. To be fair, the Keyblade and general metaphysics of the game world seem to agree with him, and anyone who disagrees will probably get a skyscraper thrown into their face.
174** This also comes back to bite him HARD in Dream Drop Distance. [[spoiler: The Big Bad uses their potential friendship to utterly corrupt him. Sora gets better.]]
175** Aqua from ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'' is almost as bad as Sora when it comes to friendship speeches and philosophies. But, even moreso than Sora, it's [[MemeticBadass best not to disagree with her.]] Ven also qualifies: whenever he's not fighting the Unversed or running after the friends he already has, he sums up his goal as "just trying to make friends".
176* Fenthick in the first chapter of ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' is possibly the most naive character ever to have been placed in any position of authority anywhere.
177* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
178** The literally heart-shaped Luvdisc is apparently one, as it swims after loving couples and is generally regarded as a symbol of eternal romance in-universe.
179** PlayedForHorror with [[BigBad Lusamine]] in ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon''. She was a [[TheSociopath textbook sociopath]] who doesn't really understand what love is, and as a result her brand of controlling affection tends to push others away, leaving her bewildered and angry over how anyone could reject her love before writing them off as being "ugly" and unworthy of her affections. She even [[LivingDollCollector cryogenically froze]] her favorite {{mons}} to preserve their "beauty and perfection".
180* ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' gives us two examples.
181** Risukuma, the head of Suzuran Junior High's science club, who after a bizarre lab accident now wears a squirrel-bear costume and became one of these, mixed with a science freak. His spell chains, depending on what language you're using, are either ways to say "I love you" in different languages or synonyms for love.
182** Ally, a new main character introduced in ''[[VideoGame/PuyoPuyoChronicle Chronicle]]''. Some of her spells have a heart motif, with names like "Love's light" and "Love all", and her catchphrase is "Love conquers all" ("Let's fall in love" in Japanese).
183* In ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'', conversely, Azai Nagamasa gets the LoveFreak treatment (since his tragic relationship with Oichi is one of his defining traits in Japanese depictions), but shares the Honor Freak and Justice Freak roles with Naoe Kanetsugu. (Interestingly, [[spoiler:her Story tweaks their tragic parting by having it come before a final, full-fledged battle, so instead of merely having an unwilling Oichi returned to her brother before the castle's fall as is the popular depiction, she starts the battle on Nobunaga's side ''and'' due to gameplay she lands the killing blow. In Mitsuhide's story mode, however, he surrenders and after a verbal barb by Nobunaga he kills himself with Mitsuhide's sword.]])
184** And of course, Koei's poster boy for [[LoveFreak Justice Freak]] is actually [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Ma Chao]]. He can't go two or three sentences without using the word 'justice'. The people from [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys Wu]] mock him for it.
185%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample*** As of Number seven, Shu itself is pretty much "Benevolence Freak, the Kingdom". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G_DB-WhbR4 Seriously.]]
186%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* There are actually TWO examples of this in ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara''. First is the traditional LoveFreak Xavi. And second is the [[LoveFreak Justice Freak]] in the same vein as Kim Kaphwan, Azai Nagamasa.
187%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** The third game adds MagicalGirl parody Tsuruhime.
188* Shyna Nera Shyna of ''VideoGame/SilhouetteMirage'' is constantly spouting things about the importance of her mission and calling herself the "Messenger of Justice", when [[spoiler:Her mission pretty much entails TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt]].
189* Colette Brunel in ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'', at her most ditzy, is this trope. [[Quotes/LoveFreak Not only does she have a lot of post-battle lines about "justice and love" that annoy Lloyd and Kratos]], but she at one point states her intention of asking someone who wanted to kill her two minutes prior about why the would-be assassin would want to do that "when we become friends". [[spoiler:Incidentally, they do become friends, and Colette does ask her.]]
190* From ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'': "Her name is Paprika. And she's going to kill us all." That's NotHyperbole: Paprika the Alpaca is a happy-go-lucky, ditzy alpaca whose [[AndCallHimGeorge bone-breaking hugs]] and [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom general shenanigans]] nearly lead her tribe, struggling to survive in a DeathWorld, to extinction. They eventually get rid of her by hog-tying her and sending her to the outside world as their tribe's "[[KickedUpstairs champion]]" against the returning predators.
191* In ''VideoGame/WorldHeroes'', Rasputin is a flamboyant old man with fruity poses, and sometimes very big hands or feet, but never stops spewing the virtues of love. He is most famous for his super move ''Garden of Love'' where he... drags the enemy to the ground through a garden of flowers, with his face implanted on it, and there are some... suggestive things happening. All we can trust is those heart signs coming out of it. {{Squick}}.

194[[folder:Visual Novels]]
195* Nagito Komaeda from ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'' is always talking at length about the power of hope over despair, and idolizing the Super High School Level students trapped on the island. [[spoiler: He’s actually a ''very'' dark example since he’s also [[PsychoSupporter very much insane]] and attempted to commit the first murder (though he ultimately failed) in order to kickstart the game and witness the cast triumph over adversity. Afterwards, he tries to get other students to collaborate with him on the next murder in order to make the investigation more exciting (he doesn't even care if he dies, as long as he can bring the students to the brink of despair, only for them to pull themselves back out.)]]
196* ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters''
197** Komari, a [[TheCutie Cutie]] who strongly believes that you should always remain positive, that the world is filled with amazing and happy things, and that by making someone else happy you become happy which makes them even happier, causing a spiral of happiness for everyone.
198** A less traditional example is Kyousuke, who often spouts (and genuinely believes) the sort of morals that would be cheesy even in kids' cartoons and is invariably highly touched by Komari's statements, to an extent that surprises even her.
199* Furfur and Zepar from ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry''. It's worth noting that they're named for [[Literature/ArsGoetia Goetic demons]] who have the power to impel love between men and women. However, while they're very fond of talking about love [[LargeHam in the most over-the-top manner possible]], they certainly aren't naive about it. Also fittingly they both look like cute girls, but one of them is actually a WholesomeCrossdresser.

202[[folder:Webcomics]]
203* In ''Webcomic/DragonMango'', while she's willing to fight ''oni'' and dragons, Peaches tries to save the oni queen and is cheerfully accepting of humanoid characters. [[http://www.dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter07/dm07-66.htm When Bleu Berry confesses to her many lies, Peaches's reaction is delight that her tragic backstory is not, after all, true.]]
204* Grace from ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' gives a Love Freaky speech, before [[SubvertedTrope it is revealed she was reading it from a book]].
205* Aphrodite being the goddess of lust and passion is this in ''Webcomic/{{MYth}}''. Since she's conscious that passion can't be active without love and vice versa, she's getting her nose into other people's love lives and it's determined that Hades and Persephone consummate their relationship. Ironically, Eros, who's in charge of making people fall in love, is more down to earth than her and often acts as her CloudcuckoolandersMinder.
206* Piffany from ''Webcomic/{{Nodwick}}''.
207* Julie from ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure''.
208* Gamzee from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' counts as one, given his chill attitude and friendly nature. This is notable because his entire species is typically very violent and murderous, while he is the exact opposite. [[spoiler: Until [[SuperpoweredEvilSide he goes sober,]] that is...]]
209** Nepeta also counts, in that she's a {{shipping}}-obsessed troll who even has a large shipping diagrams for the four quadrants of troll romance. [[spoiler: Her dancestor, that is to say, her ancestor's alternate-universe incarnation]] Meulin is Nepeta taken a few steps furthe, mimicking her {{flanderization}} from some of the fanbase.
210[[/folder]]
211
212[[folder:Web Videos]]
213* Shrignold and his peers from ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'' come off as this. They sing to Yellow Guy a song about love. [[spoiler:They're really a part of a cult where they worship Malcom, a giant stone head they see as the king of love and who gets mad if they don't feed him gravel. At first they seem to adore love in general - friendship, family, etc - however later it's shown their views on love are [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain very narrow]], referring to only romance between men and women. They try to force Yellow Guy into their cult.]]

215
216[[folder:Western Animation]]
217* In the [[ShowWithinAShow play within a play]], ''The Boy in the Iceberg'', in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Katara (a young, teenage MamaBear, water-bending, badass) is portrayed as something like this - an overly emotional "hope"-freak who can't go five minutes without launching into an inspirational speech about the value and power of hope (with tears in her eyes). The portrayal strikes a little close to home but nobody in the group wants to say anything (the real Katara's temper is not to be messed with).
218* The Franchise/CareBears are the embodiment of this trope, though Love-A-Lot Bear shows this the most.
219* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': The eponymous character is obsessed with love, peace, and other things like that, but is incredibly naïve and also a hypocrite who gets angry when someone is not "nice" or doesn't conform to her standards of "good".
220* The akumatized villainess Zombizou in ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' is this. She just wants everyone to get along, and she does this by blowing kisses at people, turning them into zombies who love kissing others, and spread the infection this way. The result? A ZombieApocalypse-level problem for Paris.
221* Heart Throb from the original ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePony'' cartoon.
222* Optimus Prime started out like this in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' with his "we're all just cogs in the Autobot machine" speech. He got over it very, very quickly around the time they got attacked by Megatron.
223* Henry Killinger from ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' is a [[TheStoic much more soft spoken]] variant.
224** In an odd example, King Gorilla originally wasn't going to help The Monarch break out of prison. But when The Monarch mentioned Dr. Girlfriend, he changed his mind because he did not want to stand in the way of love.
225* [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] in ''WesternAnimation/{{Villainous}}'' with the PsychoPink Miss Heed, a BadInfluencer CelebritySuperhero with a heart motif who enslaved an entire city with her LivingAphrodisiac powers and forced them to dote on her endlessly. It's revealed that she DesperatelyCravesAffection due to having [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex cripplingly low self-esteem]], and draws validation exclusively from external sources [[AlasPoorVillain rather than herself]].
226* Mimi Mortin from ''WesternAnimation/WhatAboutMimi'' absolutely adores romance and latches on to anything that's even remotely romantic, whether real or perceived. That said, seeing her parents kiss does gross her out.
227* Amore in ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub''. She is the Pixie of Love, obsessed over love, and tries to push couples closer together. Plus, the name Amore means "Love" in Italian.
