* The Professor from ''Manga/{{Nichijou}}'' can make highly advanced robots and a device that lets animals speak like humans, but aside from that she usually acts a completely normal eight-year-old girl with typical childish interests and [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny a short attention span]]. One robot, Nano, basically acts as a parental figure to her, and the Professor likes to install strange and largely useless functions in her like a rocket-powered arm or a bean cannon just because she thinks it's funny. She also refuses to remove the wind-up key in Nano's back (which Nano resents since what she wants most is to [[BecomeARealBoy pass as a human being]]) because she thinks it's cute.

This aspect of his character disappears by the second game, and is downplayed in the ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2016'' movie-game that retells the events of the 2002 game.

Nope, SatAM Tails was a Tagalong Kid with average intelligence. Him realising that Sally was a fake was simply due to her acting out of character in front of him.

* Miles "Tails" Prower of ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' fame is usually one of these. While some popular depictions stick solely with one [[WiseBeyondTheirYears extreme]] or the [[TagalongKid other]] (eg. in ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM SatAM]]'' Tails is extremely childlike and not very bright, while in ''Anime/SonicX'', ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' and ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' the games he is the most soundly intelligent member of the team), he team.
