A person, usually young, who is full of questions. (All in total innocence, of course.) Curiosity Is a Crapshoot even for them, but tends to be good; if nothing else, they have Improbable Infant Survival protecting them. Not the Mouthy Kid; generally perfectly polite except for their questions, and completely oblivious to the fact they could be considered rude or insensitive. Often features as The Watson, to make Mr. Exposition a Justified Trope, since the child doesn't actually know what is being Infodumped on them — that's why they're asking the question. But perfectly capable of being just a characterization trope. Also frequently the source of the Armor-Piercing Question — not so much because of insight as being Too Dumb to Fool. Contrast Curious as a Monkey, which describes someone who believes in discovering how things work by experiment. A Constantly Curious person is a more persistent nuisance but doesn't make trouble on quite so grand a scale. Will often be palmed off with Lies to Children, but this frequently doesn't work as the next thing they do is poke holes in the simplified explanation. If they ask the same question over and over to the point where it annoys someone else, and they're a kid, they're also an Annoyingly Repetitive Child. Repeat offenders when it comes to Derailed for Details and Sidetracked by the Analogy. See also Little Jimmy, who has no characterization except his ignorance. They might happen to be clingy as well. |

Looney Tunes: Porky Pig has a nephew who once behaved much like the MGM child above. But Porky was more patient. The semi-recurring character Little Blabber Mouse is like this. At the end of each cartoon, the W.C. Fields Mouse would do something to make him shut up like stick a piece of tape to his mouth. |

Star Trek: Picard: Elnor's habit of constantly asking questions is alluded to in "The Impossible Box", and he's aware that it exasperates his crewmates. In "Broken Pieces", Elnor is very curious about the queencell, but Seven of Nine doesn't have time to indulge in his queries. In "Nepenthe", Kestra continuously asks Soji questions about her android abilities, much to Soji's annoyance. |

As it's name implies, the Curious Cat from RWBY is this. And they HATE IT. They spend the entirety of volume 9 trying to psychologically break Ruby in order to take possession of her, hoping to escape the Ever After and find their creators in order to demand an answer as to why they abandoned them after "cursing" them with curiosity, with their primary method of doing so being to constantly pepper her with questions that remind her just how badly she's failed at stopping Salem's plans. | |

Solas from Dragon Age: Inquisition is an apostate mage who spends most of his time sleeping in old ruins because it allows him to see the past and he enjoys watching the memories of spirits. He's prone to asking Armor Piercing Questions and answering those asked of him with Brutal Honesty. He also loves being asked questions, because it shows that you value knowledge as well; your first companion conversation includes at least a half-dozen questions to choose from and he gets a small approval increase each time you ask one, even when other companions would likely be wondering when you'll be satisfied already. | |

In Final Fantasy XIV, the promise of new knowledge for their "transcendent minds" is the one thing that can consistently entice the Ea. It's customary for them to start debates and intellectural discussion between them with a battery of more than 350,000 questions. N-7000 is on the verge of snapping from impatience after two Ea ask it 81,120 questions in succession. | |

The Death Gate Cycle has Limbeck, who is the exception to his people's strong tendency never to wonder much about why things are the way they are. He's motivated by genuine, innocent desire to know how things work rather than by rebelliousness, but his constant asking of "Why?" about everything (including entirely apolitical things) is considered to be an attack on the foundations of society, and therefore tantamount to treason and blasphemy. It gets him sentenced to death (and leads to revolution when he survives and returns). | |

The main character in Planescape: Torment. Justified, in that grilling total strangers on their life stories is really the only way to advance in the game, but they show realistic surprise at your lack of social restraint.

NieR: Automata: Scanner-model Androids, like Deuteragonist 9S, are used by YoRHa Command as combat hackers and intelligence agents due to their advanced intrusion abilities. The problem is that their natural curiosity, combined with those abilities, can lead them to break into even their own side's classified information to learn things that YoRHa might not want them to. Enter the Executioner-model Androids, commonly assigned to Scanner-models as minders in case the latter learn too much. A minor sidequest NPC, the Little Sister Machine, has the personality of a young girl and the curiosity to match, constantly peppering 9S with questions (including one rather awkward one) throughout her Escort Mission. |

Elijah and Azuu has two of these: Izza will occasionally ask "Why" repeatedly in response to various questions or requests (whether or not it makes sense), though she seems to use the response simply on autopilot and doesn't particularly care if the conversation is abruptly cut off.

The Sandman (1989): In the story arc "Brief Lives", Dream is more or less guilted into chaperoning Delirium around trying to track down their missing brother, and all through the sequence Del keeps asking "What's the word for [insert thing there isn't a word for]?" She's generally ignored, to the point that the reader usually gives up trying to find answers to questions that clearly don't have them. Eventually she asks "What's the word for things not being the same always?" as they're driving away, and Dream answers "Change." It's quite nicely done. | |

In Eragon, Brom complained that Eragon was this, even though all of his questions seemed reasonable. A bit of irony there, as later on, Oromis stated that Brom ( later revealed to be Eragon's father) was this way when he was his pupil. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Spike dates one of Buffy's former classmates, Harmony, who was turned into a vampire at graduation. Unfortunately for him, she's soon asking incessant inane questions while he's trying to focus on finding the gem of Amarra. And making dumb comments, such as "My heart's not beating." Buffy herself takes on this role upon joining the Initiative; constantly interrupting the Mission Briefing to ask questions as opposed to the strong, silent, need-to-know only soldier types around her. |

This is the primary reason Dr. Watson in the Sherlock Holmes stories follows Holmes on his cases, although being an adult, and a remarkably patient one, he's content to just puzzle over the mysteries himself until Holmes is finally ready to fill him in. | |
