Child Prodigy | comment |
A young genius — in their pre-teen year. Any genius below 13 and above 3 is eligible for the title of a Child Prodigy. Sometimes ignored or discriminated against by those who consider them Just a Kid. Tends to be an Innocent Prodigy at times due to their age. In a setting with a mostly older cast, a Child Prodigy Grade Skipper might be introduced to appeal to a younger demographic. Very often The Smart Guy on The Team, particularly in Super Robot Genre shows. Note that although the character is likely to be both this and Wise Beyond Their Years, they are two distinct tropes because intelligence and wisdom are two different things. This trope also may overlap with Adorably Precocious Child or Innocent Prodigy. They may also be seen enjoying something that goes over other kids' heads, which could be Entertainment Above Their Age if it's a work of fiction. For the record, despite some Real Life uses of the term, a teenage/high school-age character in college (13 — 19) would be a Teen Genius, not this trope. See also Brainy Baby which is the even younger counterpart (3 years old and below). |

Sergio in the Narbonic Spin-Off Babies strip "Li'l Mell". Ironically, he initially has no idea he's gifted; he assumes reading Shakespeare and Dante at the age of six isn't just normal but possibly backward. After all, a look round the bus on his first day of school confirms that all the other kids are doing much more complicated things, like socialising. | |

Legend Series: June Iparis. Though not a child at the time the story is told, being this is her most notable trait. It's even the title of the second book in the series. Eden, Day's younger brother, is a straighter example. In one particular instance, Day reminisces about asking him for help fixing an old radio. Eden was four at the time. |

Xingqiu from Genshin Impact is well-learned and prodigious, with not just school subjects but also martial arts. His father was surprised that he would turn out to be talented in the Guhua Clan's martial art style when the former first tried admitting his son there. He even struck the Guhua Clan's head with awe when he wrote his view on martial arts; on how the Vision is an extension of its owner's body, and the weapon that they wield is an extension of the Vision. | |

The backstory of Walter O'Brien on Scorpion has him as one of these. The opening scene of the first episode (and used in the opening monologue of each episode since) had him being arrested at the age of 11 for hacking into NASA's computers to get their blueprints for the space shuttle (he wanted a copy for his bedroom wall). In the present, Paige's 10-year-old son, Ralph, is shown to be one as well. | |

Bleach: Toshiro Hitsugaya is somewhere between 10 to 13 years old (biologically speaking) and has been recognised as a prodigy since a much younger age. Most Shinigami can never obtain bankai but Hitsugaya is the youngest person to learn it in the history of Soul Society. However, his power is not fully developed and he lacks the experience of other captains and their emotional maturity (he still sometimes acts like a child trying to do an adult's job). Nevertheless, Kyouraku (one of the oldest and most powerful captains) has said that Hitsugaya will probably surpass him in the next 100 years. Gin Ichimaru is a child when he entered the Shinigami Academy, but he completed the six-year programme in a single year, the first person to ever achieve that. His first act upon joining the Gotei 13 is to kill a Third Seat without sustaining injury, immediately replacing him in that post. It's implied he became a captain later than he could have because Aizen tried to keep him as his lieutenant for as long as possible. He eventually becomes a captain 50 years before the current storyline, although over Aizen's objections. Yachiru is the Lieutenant of the most combat-capable Gotei 13 division despite being a tiny child who physically appears to be anywhere between 6 to 8 years old. Although Kenpachi's enormous reiatsu can floor even Seated Officers, Yachiru's been able to handle it ever since she was an infant. Her Zanpakutou is considered unique, manifesting beings to empower Yachiru's striking power and reach despite Zanpakutou not being able to do that. Her battle instincts are also considered incredible; she can adapt to even invisible opponents with so much speed it's considered uncanny. It's eventually revealed it's because she's Kenpachi's manifested Zanpakutou spirit. |

Alphas: Zoe, the daughter of Gadgeteer Genius Skylar, is the only second-generation Alpha seen, and she manifested a distinct ability when she was a toddler without any obvious downsides. Specifically, she's a mathematical savant capable of writing an encryption code that the greatest espionage agencies in the world can't crack. Her room is covered in childhood doodles of mathematical fractals drawn perfectly by hand in crayon, and her mother complains that she seems to wake her up every night with stories about discovering new prime numbers or solving differential equations. | |

Bones has two examples of the child Prodigy all grown up. Zack Addy, Brennan's former assistant is mentioned to have an IQ of 163. It also stated in one episode that he graduated from college at age 16. Lance Sweets is the show's other example; in an episode it is revealed that he is a Chess Prodigy, even starting as one of the youngest chess masters in the world. |

Balala the Fairies: While Meixue is a decent student, Xiao Qian far surpasses her despite being 9 to 10. It surprises people in how a young girl like her can attend middle school. Justified by how she’s the future Queen, so she’s destined to learn far faster than the others. It's also deconstructed early in the series; many teachers and the sisters see her as a problematic child who fails to learn anything in class. However, that’s because she learns too quickly in class that schools can’t keep up with her learning curve. She easily becomes bored since they never gave her any new content. | |

The Ship Who...'s shellpeople, as some result of the enshellment process, tend to be highly independent and intellectual starting at very young ages and "graduate" at sixteen, decidedly earlier than "softshells" of the same age. Helva of The Ship Who Sang can clearly remember things that happened when she was less than a year old and was "walking" (wheeling) and talking by then. Tia of The Ship Who Searched regarded any attempts to treat her like a child as Condescending Compassion. Her large vocabulary and impressive test scores help convince Child Services that her situation is actually fine; she's left alone constantly with a library, after all. At one point, after Parental Neglect leads to her paralysis, she bitterly thinks, "Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?", which is a bizarre thought for a girl of less than ten. All this means that at the age of seven, older than any other candidates, she's put into the shellperson program.

Doogie Howser, M.D.: The titular character in his backstory. In the present, he's a Teen Genius instead. Doogie Kameāloha, M.D. gives the pseudo-titular character, Lahela, a virtually identical backstory as Doogie. Both characters received perfect scores on the SAT at age 6, completed high school in nine weeks, graduated college at 10 (Doogie from Princeton University, and Lahela from the University of Hawaii), became the youngest licensed doctors in the country at 14, and both series begin with the leads as second-year residents at 16. | |

The main protagonist of The Saga of Tanya the Evil zigzags and subverts this trope, in that while Tanya is a child physically and is certainly a surprisingly ruthless and highly resourceful tactician for her age, and seems brilliant from people on the outside, it is only because she has the mind of an adult, as she was reincarnated with all her memories from her past life intact. Even Tanya herself admits that she was never a genius of any sort during her previous life and she simply has the benefit of a lifetime's worth of experiences. | |

Micah Sanders from Heroes shows incredible political prowess and was able to lead the resistance against a Government Conspiracy at the age of eleven. Oddly enough, his actor Noah Gray-Cabey is somewhat of a prodigy in real life too. By the time he was 4, he was on Ripley's Believe It Or Not for his amazing piano skills — notably being the youngest soloist to perform with an orchestra at the Sydney Opera House. By the time he was 9 years old, he was in a 9th grade math class. | |

Lyrical Nanoha: The 10-year-old Erio Mondial, who had already achieved a Mage Rank of B before the show started while his teenage companions were still struggling to achieve the same rank. Rumor has it that Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate were even sillier examples, being AAA-Rank Mages under the TSAB's employ when they were younger, but eh... who believes such rumors? It's revealed in the supplementary manga of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's that the math used on Earth and Mid-Childa is very similar, and using advanced magic requires a firm grasp of mathematical formulas. Needless to say, Nanoha and Fate are math geniuses who always ace the subject in school, much to the chagrin of the competitive Arisa, and Fate even helped Nanoha's teenage sister Miyuki with her school work when she was nine. In the movie continuity, Shario was already a liscenced device meister (someone who builds and maintains Empathic Weapons with Artificial Intelligence) before she turned ten. |

Fire Emblem: In Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, we meet Prince Innes as an adult in his early-to-mid 20s, but Moulder's supports with Vanessa explain that he was one of these. At age 10-12, he was already defeating famous adult archers with ease and doing so via his own efforts. (i.e., he refused help or advantages when he was offered., etc.) Nino from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade is a 13-year-old Dark Magical Girl who, by the time we meet her, has a foot here and another on Teen Genius. This is because, despite being illiterate, she taught herself magic almost completely on her own through the prior years, via watching and memorising her Lady of Black Magic abusive mother's spells. |

Fullmetal Alchemist: May Chang is about thirteen, but she has the mentality, mannerisms, and fighting skills of an adult. She was even able to decode Scar's brother's research notes mostly by herself. Justified in that she is a child prodigy out of necessity rather than genetics, as being the Fallen Princess and only hope of a dying clan and being charged with such clan's future, besides probably dealing with assassination attempts that Ling says are common for people in such position, makes you mature fast. The Elric brothers. They learned to read at a very young age and started teaching themselves alchemy using their father's books at ages 4 and 3. The two learn far more advanced alchemy (and martial arts) under the tutelage of Izumi Curtis, and by the time they try to resurrect their mother, they are still only 11 and 10. Edward proceeds to become the youngest State Alchemist in history just a year later at age 12. Winry probably also counts — c'mon, were you able to make mechanical limbs when you were eleven? While valid, that makes it sound even more extraordinary than it is in context; the FMA universe is more technologically advanced than ours in the area of Artificial Limbs, so it's not just a matter of Winry being a Gadgeteer Genius. The FMA manga clarifies that automail "mechanics" are actually closer to surgeons than the people fixing your car. So a more real-world applicable question would be "Were you successfully performing surgery on amputees when you were 11?" And neuro-surgery at that, since they have to link up all the nerves. |

Garrett Durrell from Boot Camp was reading at two and solving square roots at six. His parents and teachers lavished praise on him until he was eight, when he started using his intelligence in ways his parents disapproved of. He couldn't connect with his classmates because Intelligence Equals Isolation, and when he was twelve he started Skipping School because he could get good grades with very little effort. His problems ultimately lead to his parents sending him to Lake Harmony, an abusive boot camp, when he's fifteen. | |

RWBY: Professor Ozpin is famous for having been a child prodigy, which enabled him to become one of the youngest headmasters ever appointed to a Huntsman Academy. He was a child when the immortal Ozma became paired with him. Whenever Ozma's physical body dies, his soul migrates to a new person, merging with the new host's soul. This allows his memories, abilities, and powers to travel with him, imbuing each new host with thousands of years worth of experiences, knowledge, power, and combat prowess. At the end of Volume 3, Ozpin merges with Oscar's soul; although the baby of the group, Oscar is 14 years old and therefore enters Teen Genius territory instead. | |

Dragon Ball: Played With. When Goku was a kid in the original Dragon Ball, he was often hailed as a prodigy for not only his natural strength and talent for fighting but his ability to learn advanced techniques after only seeing them once and being able to adapt quickly while fighting. Then, it's Subverted at the start of Dragon Ball Z when it's revealed that he's a Saiyan and that he's actually pretty weak by his race's standards. However, this trope is Played Straight again when Goku's quick adaptability and natural talent far surpasses any in his race, even the Saiyan prince Vegeta, to the point that his low power level compared to other Saiyans at the start of the series could easily be chalked up to him being raised on Earth and not fighting strong opponents like the other Saiyans. According to Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, Bulma had already surpassed her father at the age of five and single-handedly repaired an alien spacecraft in a matter of minutes. A Downplayed example with Krillin. He never was as talented as Goku, who is a Human Alien from a fighting race, but compared to other humans he was an exceptionally strong child. He was able to survive the Muten Roshi's training regimen and would have been second only to Goku in the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai if Muten Roshi hadn't entered. He also learned the Kamehameha on the fly with no prior training at the age of sixteen when it took his master fifty years to develop it. The only things that really held Krillin back were his lack of self-esteem, which was an effect of the bullying he received from the monks at his former temple and his occasional bouts of arrogance. Son Gohan is a prime example, both physically and academically. He's smart enough to study advanced biology at age 4, builds an amphibious sandsurfer/boat a few months afterwards, and by the time he's 10 years old, he has enough latent power to unleash the equivalent force of a Supernova. Vegeta's talent was so well known that Freeza immediately takes a liking to him and spares him specifically when he destroys Planet Vegeta. After that, Freeza more or less raises him as one of his elite soldiers. In the Bardock Special, Vegeta is able to take on six Saibamen by himself with little trouble. Keep in mind, each one of those Saibamen are as strong as Raditz. It's been stated that even as a child he was one of the strongest Saiyans at the time. Freeza himself can count as well. The overwhelming power by which he became the Galactic Emperor? His power which only needed Super Saiyans to even scratch him? He was born as that, and he didn't train for a single day in his life. Still he gave a personal Curb-Stomp Battle to almost everyone (barring Goku and Trunks, the said Super Saiyans), before he made the fatal mistake of killing Krillin. He was outright born as a mutation among his strong race as well. Also counts as a Subversion, as if he DID focus on training like the other examples on this page, he would have been near damn unstoppable, with probably Super-Perfect Cell and even Buu (literal monsters), being either equal in power or weaker. Goten and Trunks. At the age of eight, Trunks is able to become a Super Saiyan, much sooner and more easily than Future Trunks, and Goten became a Super Saiyan at seven, making him the youngest Super Saiyan in history. |

Assassination Classroom: Nagisa Shiota is gradually revealed to have a natural, seemingly superhuman talent... for assassination. In a setting where Killing Intent is a very real thing, his ability to appear completely, totally harmless right until he has a knife against your throat is treated as practically a superpower, and he rapidly picks up the advanced techniques the professional assassins around him use. Unusually for this trope, the adults in his life have to consider whether or not to encourage his prodigious abilities, since, despite the series premise, they don't want any of these students to actually become killers for hire, just stop Koro-sensei. | |

She also accepts challenges from, and bests, everybody in her class (1-S, so no pushovers) at everything from running a race to a cooking duel. The only thing she's no good at is fighting, for which she has her overwhelmingly powerful bodyguard to cover for. | |

With one older sister a witch and magic-user, and the middle sister a student Assassin who is graded "one to watch", the youngest daughter is developing a talent for art and music, and creativity in general. An outside observer asks "Are you sure she's not related in any way to Leonard of Quirm?". | |

In Hayate the Combat Butler, while most of the qualifiers are 13, and thus Teen Genius material, Maria entered the school at 10 and graduated at 13. Nagi, Isumi, and Sakuya are most of the way through their first year of High School, meaning that they were Child Prodigy material. Nagi doesn't even attend classes and is still considered one of the top students before Hayate comes along. | |

(at the time) when he was 7, and at some point in his childhood designed and built his mechanical lab assistant DUM-E.

The Big Bang Theory: The backstory for Sheldon Cooper as he went off to college at 11. Another Teen Genius turned Omnidisciplinary Scientist when he went to Germany at age 15, he was a visiting professor, not a student, and he got his first PhD (he has two at present) at age 16. May possibly be seen as a Deconstructed adult version of this trope. His early successes have fueled his large ego, making him quite insufferable to those around him. He's around 30 but still has the emotional capacity of a kid since he didn't have a normal childhood. And his vast intelligence alienated him from his own family. The single-camera spinoff Young Sheldon follows Sheldon in his Child Prodigy years, already well-versed in advanced scientific methods and history, and splitting time between normal high school and college. The show notably flips the premise of The Big Bang Theory; where that show was about a normal person surrounded by genius geeks, Young Sheldon has Sheldon as the odd man out in an average-intelligence family, and mines comedy and drama from that. Sheldon is an Insufferable Genius prone to talking down to his parents and teachers, with no qualms pointing out being above their intellectual level, while his parents fret about his social abilities and mental health, and his siblings sometimes feel insecure for not being as bright as Sheldon. |

He can already read and write and think about some ramifications of the future. Of course, as the heir to the throne he's been the beneficiary of a degree of attention, favor, and tutelage that Beka, who grew up in grinding poverty, is completely unfamiliar with, plus the circumstances in which she encounters him have put him in a very serious state of mind. | |

Ready Jet Go!: Almost every kid in the show. They are all very smart for their age, especially Sean. However, this is because all the parents in Boxwood Terrace are scientists who work at the Deep Space Array, so it's possible that they could've passed down their knowledge to the children at a young age. Jet himself also deserves a mention. He has repaired a satellite, named all the moons of Jupiter, quickly calculated how many Earths could fit inside the sun, built his own flying saucer, and has even built a working time machine! He's also only around 10. |

The Scootertrix the Abridged versions of the Cutie Mark Crusaders are secretly generals in charge of the entire Equestrian Military, who somehow got into a military schoolnote Which also, somehow gave Applebloom an English accent and graduated while still at elementary school. Though this is likely largely due to Celestia's... questionable philosophy on leadership. Hilariously enough, despite being generals who can quote The Art Of War by heart, they somehow still struggle with even the most basic math to the point of being both scared and confused about the thought of negative numbers. | |

He received the nickname "Human Metronome" because of how accurately he played from the music score no matter how difficult it was, despite being a mere child. Kousei's mother eventually became physically abusive towards him, refused to let him play with his friends, and sometimes made him skip school in order to practice. After her death, Kousei broke down and due to the trauma became unable to 'hear' his own piano playing due to telling her he wish she'd die before she died, and it takes a lot of time for him to get into piano playing again. Takeshi and Emi have been playing since age six, were also very good for their young age, and are still good pianists at age fourteen. They weren't quite as talented as Kousei though and thus were largely overshadowed by him. |

Digimon Adventure: Koushirou Izumi has impressive computer skills for a fourth grader (who also looks younger than his peers). His expertise in computer science, information gathering, and analysis become handy on multiple occasions, making him the most valuable ally the new Chosen Children have in the sequel series 02, and taken to much higher levels in Digimon Adventure tri. and Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna as he gains more resources. While his skills are acknowledged and deeply appreciated by other characters, he is extremely humble about it. | |

Black Clover: From the moment he developed his Portal Cut powers, Langris' parents refused to admit that anyone could be better than him, and while this was extremely unhealthy, they did have a point. Flashbacks reveal that he's a natural when it comes to magic, studies, athletics, and other types of hard work. His only weakness was (and still is) his anger and awful social skills. Other nobles criticized him for this while praising Finral for his natural talent at being a socialite. His parents telling him that he was perfect compared to Finral is part of what starts Langris' Sanity Slippage. | |

Charles Wallace Murray in the Madeline L'Engle book A Wrinkle in Time is this, though only his family knows it. Since he refused to talk until age four and refuses to talk to those who aren't family, he is labeled as "dumb" by the townsfolk. In reality, he's incredibly bright. His mother reads him medical journals as bedtime reading, and he is also able to decipher people's emotions. As a result, he has a hard time relating to his peers. When he does display his intelligence, he is told he is a liar or to stop showing off. He also has a problem with being bullied. However, he still shows signs of being a child; he is incredibly proud of his intelligence and thinks himself, at times, infallible. He is warned against it by the Ladies, though it eventually leads to his possession by IT. | |

Subverted in an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. A young boy appears to be a prodigy, but it's eventually revealed that while he did have above-average intelligence, he wasn't a true academic prodigy in the way everyone thought he was. His father had become convinced his son was a genius when he was little and had basically forced him to pretend to be one for years (albeit unwittingly, as he still believed it was true). Played straight with some of the other kids in the advanced academic program the boy was attending; it's comparing their work with the boy's that leads Goren to realize the boy isn't on the same level as the others. | |

Chiyo Mihama from Azumanga Daioh was smart enough to skip several grades and start her first year of high school at only 10 years old.

The Promised Neverland revolves around this premise. The orphans at Grace Field are all (or at least most of them) taught to be smart... because the demons find human brains tastier the more intelligent there is as it allows the demons to stay sapient. Though not all the children are exceptionally smart (as such, these ones are "adopted" as soon as the tests indicate their limit), but the ones that are have a chance at becoming Mamas (for females only) to use their intelligence against kids who also discover the conspiracy or being brought to the main facility for more testing. The three main characters, Emma, Norman, and Ray, are this trope. | |

Subverted in Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. The Unknown Enemy has 7-year-old Desil Galette, who at his "tender" age shows massive talent to pilot mechas as well as Psychic Powers-like abilities, making him an X-Rounder. So what do his bosses do? They completely overlook that he's a sadistic Creepy Child and has the mood swings proper of a child his age, making him a battle commander without any supervision or proper training/education. Desil then orders a retreat from a certain victory merely because he got bored, and when in charge of the second X-Rounder that they conscript... he uses her recklessly in battle and accidentally kills her. | |

Georg Philipp Telemann: Despite being discouraged from music by his family (because music was then considered neither a really honorable trade nor a lucrative one), he taught himself to play the violin, recorder, and piano as a child. Composed his first pieces of music as a 10-year-old, at which age he already started to substitute for the cantor teaching the upper classes of his school. Composed his first opera, Sigismundus, at age twelve, after which his mother confiscated his musical instruments and sent him to a school in another town in a vain attempt to stop him from "wasting his time" on music. "Unfortunately" young Telemann was encouraged in his musical endeavours there by the local church superintendent. | |

Commander Keen: Commander Keen himself is an 8-year-old genius. He's already built a rocketship capable of interstellar travel (Dubbed the 'Beans-with-Bacon-Megarocket!) According to the first game, the thing runs on (Dad's) everclear, gets power from (Mom's) car battery, and uses (Mom's) vacuum cleaner (modified) for ion propulsion. Other things Keen built include an interstellar transceiver (the reception was bad, but it did get a signal worth investigating) and a fully-functioning wrist computer (complete with a Pong clone!). Keen's archenemy Mortimer McMire. The final boss in the original trilogy; Keen's got an IQ of 314, Mortimer has an IQ of 315. His spiritual successor, Andy of Heart of Darkness, one-ups him by building an INTERDIMENSIONAL craft... and a plasma-cannon. (Keen's zap-gun is not his own invention — he 'borrowed' it from the Vorticon base on Mars.) |

The Sims: In The Sims 2, the highest aspiration rankingnote A sort of mood-meter that measures how many of their wants and/or fears have come true lately for child Sims is "Child Prodigy". However, the game's not programmed to let children do things like go to college or write novels, so it's not really possible to make a legitimate Child Prodigy without using mods. Sim children in The Sims 3 can write novels, become a chess master and build time machines. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender has Aang, Toph, Katara, Azula, and debatably Zuko, each of whom is shown to be extremely talented in their respective superpowered martial arts. All of them become Teen Geniuses as the series progresses. Aang is the youngest Master Airbender in history and a Physical God who mastered all three remaining bending arts within a span of twelve months, a feat that took many years for the previous Avatars. Toph is 12 years old and already the self-proclaimed “Best earthbender in the worldâ€�. She backs this talk up by beating the crap out of people twice her size and who have much more experience. She is also the inventor of metalbending, a skill previously thought to be impossible. And to top it all off, she's blind and uses Earthbending as a way for her to "see". The only thing that was holding Katara's waterbending skill back was lacking any sort of tutelage. Every single waterbender in the Southern Tribe was wiped out by a war of attrition, leaving only her; she wasn't surrounded by Earthbenders like Toph, she literally had no one but herself to teach her. Once she traveled the world and had to improve her bending to keep up with various opponents, she became a rather strong Waterbender, and when she overcame endemic male chauvinism in the Northern Tribe and properly studied under the tutelage of Master Pakku, she became his favorite student in a very short time and was even entrusted by Master Pakku to complete Aang's waterbending training once Team Avatar departed the North Pole. At a very young age, Azula was shown easily pulling off firebending techniques her older and relatively skilled brother, Zuko, struggled with. She is also one of three characters in the original series who know how to use lightning and the only one known to generate hotter, blue fire. This is in addition to being a genius strategist and tactician. Zuko isn't quite the prodigy his sister is — a fact his father makes sure he greatly laments — but by the end of the series, he is still one of the best Firebenders in the world at the tender age of sixteen, comparatively making him more of a late bloomer than anything else. He is also a brilliant swordsman, able to take on swarms of groups without using any bending whatsoever due to his knowledge of dual-wielding broadswords, to the point that even his father recognized he would have no chance against him purely on that level. The sequel series The Legend of Korra episode "Welcome to Republic City" shows us Aang's successor, young Avatar Korra of the Water Tribe. She is introduced having taught herself rudimentary Waterbending, Earthbending and Firebending by the tender age of four, in a universe where an Avatar is traditionally not notified of their status and multiple Elemental Powers until their Dangerous 16th Birthday. By the age of sixteen, she has already mastered three of the four elements — although airbending proves to be a rather significant hurdle for her to overcome. Aang's grandchildren Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo are also airbending prodigies despite starting the series being respectively 10, 7, and 5 years old. Jinora in particular is a skilled airbender and very smart for her age, to the point that in the Book 3 finale, she was anointed an airbending master at the age of 11, becoming the new youngest master airbender in known history, beating her grandfather by a year. It's even more impressive considering that Jinora isn't the Avatar like Aang was. Amon is considered to be one of the most powerful water benders ever. He mastered traditional waterbending around the age of 11. He mastered his father's forbidden bloodbending technique by the age of 14. |

The Legend of Zelda: Link from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was incredibly skilled with a sword from a young age. Reading through Mipha's diary in "The Champions' Ballad" DLC reveals that he was already able to best grown men in single combat by the time he was four. The sequel The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has two: Tulin, Teba's son. Despite still being a kid, Tulin was able to develop his own gusts of wind and quickly managed to be far more reliable than any other Rito adult (even his dad) as a Rito warrior. It really helps that Teba's side of the family turns out to be the descendant family to the Rito Sage of Wind, whose title Tulin inherits. Josha is a young Sheikah girl who is in charge of the team researching the ruins and other artifacts in the Depths. She had been mentored by Purah and Robbie, who are both over a century old and thus have many years of experience, yet her brilliance lets her lead a team of adults. |

Ships Ahoy!: Oprah began her fruit stand when she was eight years old, alongside her friend Yucks Shmumbers, who was four. While Oprah was already incredibly smart in the realm of mathematics and entrepreneurship, Yucks had the organizational and managerial know-how — Oprah told her to organize all the fruit in stock and left, and Yucks organized them not just in alphabetical order, but also priced by the kilogram, and sorted by color, size and amount. Put together, the two girls made a dream team, and their juice business gained a lot of traction very quickly. Both Opal and Oscar are qualified to fill Head of Department roles due to their smarts. Oscar in particular was enrolled in, and graduated from, the Odd Squad Academy in only six months, whereas Opal graduated from the Academy in four years' time due to the Head of Department position in the Medical department requiring four more years of working in Precinct 13579 before she can get the job instead of spending eight years at the Academy. Opal also manages to pass all three exams in the Odd-ology Finals with flying colors. Otto, a "lost-cause student" who has trouble focusing in school, gets a 140 on an IQ test that he takes when he's nine years old. The school faculty are so taken aback by this that the principal immediately calls a board meeting to discuss the next course of action for him, and he is eventually sent to the Odd Squad Academy to attend as a student there rather than at a regular elementary school. |

Nino from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade is a 13-year-old Dark Magical Girl who, by the time we meet her, has a foot here and another on Teen Genius. This is because, despite being illiterate, she taught herself magic almost completely on her own through the prior years, via watching and memorising her Lady of Black Magic abusive mother's spells. | |

Dr. Liara T'Soni in Mass Effect was one of these, having gotten her doctorate in archaeology and spent over fifty years uncovering Prothean ruins, becoming one of the foremost experts in the galaxy when it comes to all things Prothean. Unfortunately, her theories and research are often dismissed by her peers, since as the asari can live for over a thousand years, being only 106 makes her "little more than a child" in their eyes. An inverse of the same issue comes up when Mordin mentions his nephew; while he is a brilliant scientist, for the short-lived salarians, being a tenured professor at 16 isn't unusually young. | |

In Phineas and Ferb, perhaps due to the show rule that nobody is "a jerk or an idiot", all the kids are shown to be gifted in some way. Even Buford, whose theme song claims that "he's got the IQ of gum", is shown to have a fondness for Voltaire and existentialism. Considering that gum in this universe is the thing that comes with existentialist trading cards ("I'll give you two Satres for a Nietzsche!"), perhaps the comparison makes sense... | |

The Jedi Consular in Star Wars: The Old Republic was one of these according to their master, who comments on their being stronger and more adept at using the Force at six than she had been until her late teens. Their lifelong affinity for the Force is implied to be the reason why in cutscenes, they occasionally don't even bother using their lightsaber when being rushed by attackers, preferring to simply use the Force to casually blast them clean across the room. | |

In The Sims 2, the highest aspiration rankingnote A sort of mood-meter that measures how many of their wants and/or fears have come true lately for child Sims is "Child Prodigy". However, the game's not programmed to let children do things like go to college or write novels, so it's not really possible to make a legitimate Child Prodigy without using mods. | |

Oni Ga Shiku Series: Hisashi Midoriya was incredibly intelligent since he was a young child, which is one of the reasons why his father Musashi did not want him to be in the Yakuza like he was. Nowadays he's a head researched in I-Island. Discussed in regards to Izuku. He has Awesomeness by Analysis skills in combat and Photographic Memory, but his intelligence and emotional maturity do not match. During the Akatani arc, Izuku bitterly remarks that for all he's supposed to be so smart, he keeps falling for schemes that should be obvious. When he's a teenager, All Might says that Izuku is impressive, but not a genius. Katsuki learned how to perfectly read at four, cook at seven, and was always on top of his class in all subjects from eight years old to thirteen. His position starts being challenged after Izuku re-enters his life. |

Jacques Offenbach started playing the violin at six and was a composer and had learned the cello by age nine. He quickly got too big for his home town and when he was 14 his father sent him to Paris to study cello. Offenbach was such a jokester and goofball he could never really focus on his studies, although he was widely recognized as a truly virtuoso cellist. He was booted out of the conservatory at 15 and the next year found a permanent appointment at the Opéra-Comique. This eventually led him to the career he wanted: writing the raunchy satirical comic operettas that made him famous. | |

American R&B singer Tevin Campbell was a singing prodigy as a child. He became a gospel soloist at a very young age and had an impressive vocal range for someone his age. His talents eventually got the attention of Quincy Jones, who gave him his mainstream debut at 12 years old with the single "Tomorrow (A Better You, A Better Me)" in 1989. Tevin would soon become a successful recording artist as a teen, with multiple Platinum and Gold certifications to his name. | |

Athena Cykes from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a bit more of a deconstruction of this. We see in flashback that at just 11 years old she has incredibly sensitive hearing and the ability to find a person's emotional state... but can't put what she finds with her abilities into terms people can understand, meaning they aren't terribly useful. Like Klavier, she becomes an attorney at the age of just 18... but her inexperience and lack of confidence result in her first trial nearly ending in an instant guilty verdict until Apollo bails her out, and she later freezes up in what would have been her second trial, forcing Phoenix to take over. | |

Odd Squad: Most any agent of Odd Squad could qualify as a prodigy to some extent or another, but there are some that stand out from the rest. Olympia is an Odd Squad historian who knows anything and everything about the organization up to the very second. Prior to being picked by Oprah as Otto's replacement, she studied every single case Odd Squad has ever solved and even inquires about cases before time even began when she frets about being ready to become an agent. She's also gotten straight O's (the show's equivalent to A's) on every single test she's ever taken. If she weren't on the heroes' side, she'd be a genuine Distaff Counterpart to Odd Todd. Dr. O, the Odd Squad Doctor of Precinct 13579, claims that she went through eight years of medical school just to become an Odd Squad Doctor. Going by the events of Odd Squad: The Movie and how she ends up working as a doctor at an actual hospital after getting laid off from Odd Squad, the claim has quite a bit of merit attached to it. Odd Todd was Precinct 13579's best agent for a good reason — he was exceptionally Good with Numbers to such an extent that it only took him a couple seconds to solve a math problem that others took a couple minutes to solve, and could solve any case thrown his way with ease whether he was with his partner or not. Unfortunately, he was a Jerkass and a Smug Snake who eventually underwent a Face–Heel Turn and began to develop a love for causing oddness instead of eradicating it, but his smarts and knowledge of Odd Squad make him one of the organization's toughest foes. |

Case Closed: Ai Haibara/Shiho Miyano is implied to have been one: if she has a PhD and already led The Syndicate's lab before the age of 18, she must be one in her preteen years. Hiroki Sawada from the Non-Serial Movie Detective Conan Film 06: The Phantom of Baker Street is more of a book example; he was a grad student in MIT at the age of ten. However, a mixture of Parental Abandonment and Intelligence Equals Isolation means his case is not played for the laughs. The titular character Shinichi Kudo zigzags the trope around. He seems like a Child Prodigy to those who don't know his true identity but he's actually Older Than He Looks due to an 'un-aging' pill, and even so he is a Teen Genius since he's technically 17. And then, the flashbacks to his childhood show as an actual Child Prodigy: the Whole Episode Flashback of manga chapters 921-924 show him not only reading the Sherlock Holmes books at the age of four, but making his first deductions around that time... which allowed his father to foil a kidnapping plan that had Ran as the target. |

In the Pony POV Series: The Nameless Filly was incredibly brilliant in both magic and tactics, being said to have the potential to surpass Starswirl the Bearded and possibly become an Alicorn one day. Unfortunately, she ended up developing a psychopathic obsession with killing love itself due to her inability to form a relationship. As a result, she put her incredible intelligence to the task of making the Concept Killing Spear, a weapon capable of erasing whomever it kills from existence, resulting in one of the single most cataclysmic events in the history of creation when she killed Cupid with it. Sunset Shimmer, who was incredibly talented in magic as a filly. In fact, Elements of Magic in general seem to be this trope. |

In The Elder Scrolls series' backstory, Reman Cyrodiil, founder of the Second Cyrodiilic Empire, was a child when coronated. According to the heavily stylized in-game book Remanada, Reman was still an infant. (Other, more realistic, sources still state that he was no older than 13 at the oldest.) In any case, this proves well-justified. Reman was very much a child prodigy who, along with his status as The Chosen One (having been born possessing the Amulet of Kings), quickly brought both halves of Cyrodiil back together (Colovia and Nibenay) and then the other kingdoms of Men, High Rock, and Skyrim. | |

The protagonist is apparently a battling prodigy in Pokémon. S/he begins their journey years before most other people, at age 10-14 (11 in Pokémon Red and Blue and their remakes). You not only beat everyone in your region (two for GSC and HGSS) with ease, including the Elite Four and Champion but take down a gang of terrorists (two gangs in Emerald). There are also various Gym Leaders who seem to be barely older than the protagonists, or even younger in the case of Tate and Liza from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Iris in Pokémon Black and White (who has become the Unova Champion two years later in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2) and Allister in Pokémon Shield. One particularly ridiculous example is Poppy in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, who's an Elite Four member at the age of nine (while looking and acting much younger). | |

Richard "Clever Dick" Cleaver in "Clubland Heroes" by Kim Newman is an 11-year-old genius who made his fortune as an Inventor of the Mundane at age 7 and graduated from Oxford at age 10. He's a Kid Detective and The Smart Guy of a superhero team. He's also a humorless, arrogant, sexist, racist jerk who suffers a karmic set-down when The Great Depression wipes out his investments and the humiliations of puberty force him to retire from public life. He has a cameo in The Haunting of Drearcliff Grange School as the leader of an entire team of child prodigies, the Brain-Boxes, who seem to spend most of their time devising unnecessarily elaborate mechanisms and squabbling with each other. A sequel, "Cold Snap", revisits him as a bitter adult who's become an unimpressive supervillain. | |

Harry and the Butler: "Heisenberg", a 10-year-old boy who ransacks the junkyard where Harry lives, ransacking car parts for use in his homemade rockets. He eventually succeeds in launching a rocket. Earlier in the film, Harry asks him to calculate 3300 divided by 286 (Harry has 3300 kroner to hire a butler who gets 286 kroner per week). Heisenberg answers immediately, to three decimal places (it's about 11.5) and then asks if Harry needs more decimals. | |

In Jujutsu Kaisen, not only do all the indicators of Mahito's age paint him as a child (Nanami's observation after first encountering him, plus his reaction while running from Itadori at the end of Shibuya being distinctly child-like), he is also incredibly powerful, able to use Domain Expansion in his second on-screen battle (something that Nanami, 26 years old, admits he could never manage to achieve). He is also able to only open his Domain for less than a second, something he copied directly from Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer in modern times, and pulled off first attempt without a hitch. | |

Anais Watterson, the younger sister of the title character to The Amazing World of Gumball, is only four but attends junior high with her 12- and 10-year-old brothers (in fact, she's their upperclasswoman and they're too dumb and self-centered to know that for most of their lives, as shown in the episode "The Others"). She's one of the smartest characters in the world of Gumball (more often than not, the only character who has any sense at all), known for being a physics club member, even though she's still playful and childish, and she at first struggles to stoop down to enjoy hanging out with her idiotic father and brothers. There are a couple of episodes in which she fools the whole family into fighting each other, while she's at home reaping the benefits that everyone else is too oblivious to realize and a flashback In "The Choices" even shows her correcting a spelling mistake on her armband as a newborn, much to family’s astonishment. | |

The single-camera spinoff Young Sheldon follows Sheldon in his Child Prodigy years, already well-versed in advanced scientific methods and history, and splitting time between normal high school and college. The show notably flips the premise of The Big Bang Theory; where that show was about a normal person surrounded by genius geeks, Young Sheldon has Sheldon as the odd man out in an average-intelligence family, and mines comedy and drama from that. Sheldon is an Insufferable Genius prone to talking down to his parents and teachers, with no qualms pointing out being above their intellectual level, while his parents fret about his social abilities and mental health, and his siblings sometimes feel insecure for not being as bright as Sheldon. | |

Game of Thrones: On the one hand, Jaime's dyslexia made him a slow learner in some aspects, but on the other hand, he was already a brilliant swordsman during his childhood. He tells Bronn that he hasn't used sparring swords since he was nine. He became the youngest Kingsguard in history, joining the order at the age of 16. | |

FoxTrot: Jason Fox is only ten years old, but he builds model rockets that provoke diplomatic incidents with China, can write viruses that crash the Internet, does math equations (involving integrations) for fun, and apparently built a "miniature warp engine" when he was at science camp. That said, he's also rather lacking in common sense and tends to cook up unneccesarily complex solutions to various problems. | |

Spider-Man: Subverted in Spider-Man (2022). Bailey uses web fluid dissolver to get out of Peter's webbing when Peter tries to ditch him. Peter's first assumption is that Bailey made the dissolver. Bailey balks at the notion. He's only ten years old and wouldn't have the know-how to make something like that on his own. He shows the dissolver's capsule to Peter to prove that it's Peter's handiwork as evidence of their previous partnership after Bailey was Ret-Gone from memory and record. | |

Wendy from Fairy Tail, despite only being biologically 13, has been able to learn many of her offensive spells just by seeing Natsu use them once, learned several more, including a Secret Art unique to her brand of Dragon Slaying Magic, in just three days with nothing but handwritten notes to go on, and mastered Dragon Force in only a year's time whereas Natsu still hasn't despite having obtained it far earlier than her. She even figured out how to copy an Enchantment spell that transfers one's consciousness to another body in the middle of a battle after only seeing it once while it was being used on her. Said possessor, Irene Belserion, outright admits she's amazed by the latent potential Wendy has as she starts using Wendy's magic in combat and manages to badly injure Erza with it. | |

They're highly knowledgeable about figure skating and how competitions work (due to being figure skating Otaku), are skilled at using various electronics, and were responsible for organizing the "Hot Springs on Ice" competition that takes place in Episode 3. Word of God says people tend to forget they're only 6 years old since "they can do anything", and "their potential is bottomless". | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In the episode "the Cutie Mark Chronicles", Twilight Sparkle was shown to be one, after a loud explosion caused her to have a major case of Power Incontinence. She was so magically powerful that Princess Celestia decided to take her on as her personal student. Presumably, the first thing Celestia taught her was how to keep her powers under control. The Cutie Mark Crusaders are shown to be this in "One Bad Apple". Not only do they build a motorized parade float from scratch AND rig it with a timer-activated booby trap to send it careening off of a cliff at exactly the right time, they also are able to manipulate Babs Seed into stealing it so perfectly that when she shoves them from it, they land on a mattress they placed earlier to cushion their fall. |

The Doctor from Doctor Who is implied to have been one, even by Time Lord standards. He's mentioned as having sealed the Medusa Cascade by himself when he was "just a kid" at the age of 90, which factoring in the natural Time Lord lifespan lasting anything from hundreds to thousands of years, was probably equivalent to a Teen Genius. However, a flashback during Twelve's tenure showed that his father tried to encourage him to join the military, not thinking he was smart enough for college. | |

Digimon Adventure 02: Ken Ichijouji is introduced as a nationwide known child prodigy, who is The Ace in academics and sports. As it turns out, Ken wasn't originally a prodigy; the real genius in the family was his older brother, Osamu. Shortly after Ken's first adventure in the Digital World, Osamu died in an accident, and Ken began to increasingly emulate his brother out of a mix of grief and misplaced guilt. Eventually, he activated the Dark Seed, an implement of that was embedded in his neck during his time in the Digital World, which enhanced his academic and athletic abilities to the prodigy level. As a side effect, it changed his personality from kind and gentle to cruel and apathetic, and led him to treat the Digital World as a game and try to take over it as a tyrant. His increased intelligence allowed him to create control devices, evolution blocks, and even create his own artificial Digimon, Chimeramon. One What Have I Done realization and a Heel–Face Turn later, the effects of the Dark Seed are nullified, and he returns to being a normal kid. However, he remains very intelligent and athletic, and retains a lot of the skills he learned during his time as a prodigy, such as a proficiency in Spanish. Later, Yukio Oikawa scans and copies the Dark Seed from Ken and implants the copies in other children who wish to become child prodigies like Ken himself. They quickly gain Ken's former academic prowess, as well as the cruelty and disdain for the rest of humanity. Luckily, the copies are nullified a short time later. Taiki Kudou in Digimon Fusion is not aware that he is this. He is both exceedingly athletic and intelligent, and has engaged in various sports like a pro. Furthermore, he is a brilliant tactician, capable of forming winning strategies within a flash of a second in the heat of battle. In Digimon Universe: App Monsters, Teen Genius Rei Katsura spends much of the series thinking Leviathan kidnapped his younger brother Hajime because he was after Rei's hacking skills. Turns out, Leviathan was after Hajime's skills; Hajime is on a whole other level, to the point Leviathan compares his intelligence and abilities to the likes of Alan Turing and John Mc Carthy. When Leviathan forces Hajime to create a powerful Appmon, Bootmon, Hajime manages to engineer his escape and hides Bootmon from Leviathan for months. Once rescued, he becomes a key ally to the Applidrivers, with his computer skills being crucial to helping them locate Bootmon and win the final battle against Leviathan. |

But in a tragic deconstruction of the trope, Bennett lacks the skills and wisdom needed to maintain relationships, being so fixated on his dream of becoming a great inventor that he frequently treats his friends and family in a dismissive, inconsiderate manner. As a result, his future self, for all his success, is miserable and Lonely at the Top., having burned bridges with all his loved ones in achieving his goals This in turn forms the basis for the show's premise, as Future Bennett goes back in time to guide his younger self and prevent him from making the same mistakes that he did. | |

CSI featured a rather twisted example: when a teenage boy Marlon West is on trial for killing the Alpha Bitch of his school, his sister Hannah West, a 12-year-old who's skipped grades and attends the same high school with him, confesses that she really did it. Unfortunately for CSI, she's not just book-smart; she's also The Chessmaster and manages to manipulate all the facts and people involved in the case. She finally tells Sara her brother did do it all along after her brother's been acquitted. The siblings are involved again in the episode "Goodbye and Good Luck" at a university crime scene where Marlon is a student and Hannah is a grad student and Teacher's Assistant. This time it's Hannah who killed Marlon's girlfriend but on her own accord, and frames him for it because his imprisonment means he can't have other girls in his life. CSI Sara points out that while Marlon's life was actively changing growing up, Hannah's life didn't as even with her prestige she was still viewed as some anomaly. | |

Having been trained by Carnelian and the other Quartzes since he was five, Steven/Rhodonite in Gift of A Diamond has become a well-trained and condecorated Quartz officer who has succeeded at a number of daring and dangerous missions and has influenced Homeworld politics so much that he was able to convince all three Diamonds not to shatter gems and give second chances into his teens. He was even able to defeat Garnet and Pearl easily, two gems with thousands of years of fighting experience. | |

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Muichiro Tokito suffered his own tragedy at the hands of a demon when he was 11 years old, got personally scouted after the immense potential he showed by killing that demon in a fit of rage; blazed through the Demon Slayer Corps’ ranks in just 2 months. To compare and contrast, Muichiro was a Hashira by the age of 11, while series protagonist Tanjiro had to wait 1 year before his tragedy even began, and 2 more years before he even officially became a Slayer. | |

South Park: The Broflovski brothers. Ike moreso and more blatant than his older brother. Ike's entered kindergarten 2 years early, watches conservative political commentary, makes a macaroni replica of The Last Supper, has been hired to help cover up a massive jewel heist, and is a knight in Canada. As of Seasons 15ish, he's only 4. Kyle's also no slouch. He's regularly portrayed as the top student in his class, has the highest capabilities with the computer, including photoshopping a photo to fool the Japanese government to stop whaling and get his best friend out of trouble and single-handedly thwarting a terrorist attack with some inspired Google-fu. He's also shown more than a slight capability with philosophy and managed to remove himself from reality. Cartman is a Child Prodigy only, and ONLY when motivated by evil. |

The sequel series The Legend of Korra episode "Welcome to Republic City" shows us Aang's successor, young Avatar Korra of the Water Tribe. She is introduced having taught herself rudimentary Waterbending, Earthbending and Firebending by the tender age of four, in a universe where an Avatar is traditionally not notified of their status and multiple Elemental Powers until their Dangerous 16th Birthday. By the age of sixteen, she has already mastered three of the four elements — although airbending proves to be a rather significant hurdle for her to overcome. | |

This is something of a trademark of the Ace Attorney series, especially the games written by the series' creator Shu Takumi. Pearl "Pearly" Fey. Her cousin Maya has said that she's the most powerful medium ever in the Fey clan, and she's 9. Too bad her mother Morgan is a total Evil Matriarch/Stage Mom who tries to use Pearl as her ticket to take leadership of the clan... Franziska von Karma became a prosecutor at the age of just 13 and didn't lose a case once during the next five years. And from a flashback case in the first Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth game, it's clear that she was almost as talented a prosecutor as her older adoptive brother, only being brought down by her more impetuous nature. Trucy Wright from Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney was already an incredibly talented magician at just 8-years-old. It's implied that she had a lot of help from her birth parents and grandfather, all of whom were famous magicians in their own right, but she also clearly had a lot of natural talent even at a young age and continues to develop as a magician even after being adopted by Phoenix, who has no magical talents. Also from Apollo Justice, Klavier Gavin, who becomes a prosecutor at the age of just 18, and it's implied so utterly humiliated and discredited Phoenix in his debut trial that it resulted in the latter being disbarred. This ends up subverted later on however since we see in a flashback that Klavier was actually quite prone to making hasty guesses and missing obvious contradictions during his first trial, and his getting Phoenix disbarred was actually the result of him being the Unwitting Pawn of his older and far more experienced brother, Kristoph. Athena Cykes from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a bit more of a deconstruction of this. We see in flashback that at just 11 years old she has incredibly sensitive hearing and the ability to find a person's emotional state... but can't put what she finds with her abilities into terms people can understand, meaning they aren't terribly useful. Like Klavier, she becomes an attorney at the age of just 18... but her inexperience and lack of confidence result in her first trial nearly ending in an instant guilty verdict until Apollo bails her out, and she later freezes up in what would have been her second trial, forcing Phoenix to take over. The Great Ace Attorney: Iris Wilson is a fully-qualified medical doctor, an infinitely more competent investigator than Herlock Sholmes himself, and a successful author who wrote up all of Sholmes' stories, all at the age of 10 years old. |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Negi. He graduated from Wizarding School at the age of nine, became a teacher in Japan, and mastered the language note in two weeks, too. Later on, when he starts learning combat techniques and training seriously, it takes him about 9 months to become one of the most powerful combatants alive. To be fair, Negi spent an inordinate amount of time in magic resorts, scrolls, and the like, to the point where he's now actually 12 years old. Oh, that is only the beginning. As the first volume pointed out — remember, back when he was only 9! — Negi has a degree from Oxford. A college degree, in one of the foremost schools in the entire world, at NINE. Kurt Godel is also explicitly stated to be one of these. (Or at least, he was when he was still a child.) Negi's father, Nagi, also qualifies, at least in regard to combat. And only combat. He was one of the strongest men alive when he was about twelve, culminating with him defeating a god in single combat when he was seventeen or so. |

Hey Arnold! gives us both of the Pataki sisters. Older sister Olga was this as a little girl, as a piano prodigy and a straight A+ student. Since the Patakis turned out to be stage parents, she became extremely emotionally stunted because of it — though being a Stepford Smiler, she has only told Helga about this. Younger sister Helga is a much more subtle version of this trope (and it's never really ventured on). It's only revealed in bits in pieces such as being the only one (other than Olga) to score a 100 on the school's aptitude test, learning a Shakespeare play in one night (though not seeming particularly interested in anything he's written earlier on), winning poetry contests several times and having her shrink bring up her above average knowledge. |

DFZ: Opal is an attempt at invoking this. Her parents genetically engineered her to be the greatest mage alive, and then brought in the best teachers in the world when she was 6 years old — most children don't even find out they're magical until they're teenagers. Unfortunately, this all backfired; a child that young simply doesn't have a brain developed enough to handle magic, the teachers weren't used to teaching children so young, and Opal kept blowing up the spellwork because she was more powerful than the spellwork could handle. By the time of the series, she's in her twenties and has accepted that she will always be a failure of a mage. She ends up with a shaman teaching her, who first chance she gets tears into Opal's father for expecting so much from a child and not noticing that her teachers were bashing her against a brick wall with no success. | |

Artemis Fowl counts, being an evil criminal mastermind at age 12. He began his schemes at the age of 10. He also struggles to relate to people and spends most of his time tracking down his missing father from his mansion with only his bodyguard for company. As the preface to the second book wryly remarks, his adventures were good for getting him outside and meeting new people, even if most of them wanted to kill him. | |

Sophie from Child of the Hive is shown at the age of seven capable of speaking near-perfect German after only three lessons. She also has knowledge of Latin by that age and is later shown reading a book in the original French. As a teenager, she is acknowledged as being a mathematical genius and being extraordinarily good at computer programming. | |

The sequel The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has two: Tulin, Teba's son. Despite still being a kid, Tulin was able to develop his own gusts of wind and quickly managed to be far more reliable than any other Rito adult (even his dad) as a Rito warrior. It really helps that Teba's side of the family turns out to be the descendant family to the Rito Sage of Wind, whose title Tulin inherits. Josha is a young Sheikah girl who is in charge of the team researching the ruins and other artifacts in the Depths. She had been mentored by Purah and Robbie, who are both over a century old and thus have many years of experience, yet her brilliance lets her lead a team of adults. |

The Blue Children from Stephen Baxter's Manifold: Time, transformed through the influence of a civilization in the distant future. "Prodigy" doesn't even begin to describe how frighteningly advanced (and creepy) they are. | |

Professor Layton: Luke Triton is a bit of a puzzle master for his age. It is assumed that Clive was a Child Prodigy, as well, as after his adoptive mother died, he went straight into business with a newspaper and then used the woman's money to create an underground London. Also in Azran Legacy Hershel i.e. Descole was mentioned to be one. |

Franziska von Karma became a prosecutor at the age of just 13 and didn't lose a case once during the next five years. And from a flashback case in the first Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth game, it's clear that she was almost as talented a prosecutor as her older adoptive brother, only being brought down by her more impetuous nature. | |

Leonard and Tessa Testarossa of Full Metal Panic! once qualified, having solved some of Einstein's more famous equations before the age of six. By the time of the story, they've aged up to Teen Genius. | |

Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls is very intelligent for his age and loves math equations and solving mysteries. This is something he has in common with his great uncle Ford, who is a certified genius. | |

Doctor H. of Happy Heroes was quite the inventor even as a child. In the first episode of Season 9, he's shown building a working Time Machine out of cardboard in an unsuccessful attempt to save his father from an Alien Abduction. | |

Sudoku in Banananana Ninja is a Gadgeteer Genius who fights with a Transformation Ray. In later episodes, he might be a Teen Genius since the voice actor sounds like he's hitting puberty. | |
