Line 57:
* ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' (Bella Swan towards Edward Cullen)
* Owen of Jesslaw, in [[Tamora Pierce]]'s ''[[Tortall Universe|Page]]'', is an instant groupie of Keladry.
* In ''[[Sammy Keyes]] and the Wild Things'',
Line 63:
* J.D. from ''[[Scrubs]]'' somewhat falls into this when it comes to Dr. Cox. He even admits himself that he is "prone to hero worship". However, he's not incompetent by any means.
* Despite being an obvious [[Fan Girl]] of his works, Detective Kate Beckett is ''not'' this to Richard [[Castle]], being his equal (and superior) in many ways and more likely to puncture his slightly-too-healthy ego and opinion of himself with [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky quips]] than anything else. Instead, this trope falls to Detective Kevin Ryan, who seems to have taken Castle on as something of a mentor.
* Goombario in ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]''.▼
* ''[[Suikoden II]]'' had that kid in Banner Village, who worshipped not one, but ''two'' heroes. Namely, Tir, the hero of ''[[Suikoden I]]'', and Riou, the hero of ''[[Suikoden II]]''. He's instrumental to getting Tir into your entourage.▼

* [[Cyrano De Bergerac]]: Ragueneau has shades of this to Cyrano at Act II scene III:
{{quote|'''Ragueneau''' ''(following him):'' Bravo! I saw...
Line 88 ⟶ 82:
'''Ragueneau''' ''(stopping short in the act of thrusting to look at the clock):'' Five minutes after six!. . .'I touch!'
''(He straightens himself):'' ...Oh! to write a ballade! }}

Line 102 ⟶ 97:
* Dallas, a prisoner from ''[[The Suffering]]'' to the hero Torque. Yes, admiring the guy who saves you from monsters is natural, but... It's notable in that genuine good emotions, like friendship and loyalty are darned hard to come by in the setting, due to Plot Reasons. Latter partners in the game are notably crazy-pants. Dallas is also notable for being comfortably bisexual.
** Luther would also count, having regressed to a childlike state in all the panic and chaos of the plot. At one point, he actually decides that Torque must be "an Angel of Vengeance come to save us all." [[Good Feels Good|How sweet.]]

* Cooper in ''[[Ben 10:
* Deconstructed in the ''[[Justice League]]'' episode "Legends", with Ray Thompson. {{spoiler|It turns out that Ray is a [[Reality Warper]] who couldn't cope with the fact that the Justice Guild were killed in battle, and has effectively turned the entire city into his own personal [[Lotus Eater Machine]].}}
* Junior, Sylvester's [[Austin Powers|mini-me]] son in a series of ''[[Looney Tunes]]''. Although his admiration tended to expire fairly rapidly once Dad actually started to ''demonstrate'' his mouse-catching abilities (or lack thereof)...
* Also from [[Looney Tunes]], the page
* Subverted with Lugnut in ''[[Transformers Animated]]''. He's practically a one-mech Megatron cult to the point where even Megatron gets sick of his constant loud praises, but he's also the largest and strongest member of the Decepticons on Earth and his "Punch of Kill Everything" is not named ironically.
* Enzo Matrix in ''[[ReBoot]]'' admired Bob the Guardian when he was a little sprite in the first two seasons. In the fourth season, the grown-up Enzo (Matrix) finds himself the target of admiration from... Enzo Matrix (it's a long story). Younger Enzo eventually learns to stop imitating his grown-up self and become his own Sprite.
