A character who is delicate and sickly is almost inevitably a sympathetically cute girl.note Though lately, more and more handsome males are taking up the role. The disease can be anything from non-terminal but debilitating conditions like anemia to invariably-fatal issues like organ failure. Smart writers avoid such specifics, making it a Soap Opera Disease. It will never disfigure or impair her cuteness. If the condition is terminal, a common cliche is that the dying character is trying to hold on until some distant, significant day has arrived. For example, she might be lying sick in autumn, noticing leaves falling off a tree by the window, and hoping she will live long enough to see the last one fall. You can see this one subverted in the O. Henry story "The Last Leaf." This character type is probably indirectly descended from the Western romantic "consumptive heroine" (The classic 19th-century example would be the heroine of La dame aux camélias, source material for La Traviata and Camille (1936), while Nicole Kidman's "Satine" in the film Moulin Rouge! is a contemporary example). She may suffer from what Roger Ebert called Ali McGraw's Disease (after Love Story): "Movie illness in which only symptom is that the sufferer grows more beautiful as death approaches." Becoming this character is a common side-effect of Victorian Novel Disease. Only occasionally related to Definitely Just a Cold. See also Littlest Cancer Patient, Too Good for This Sinful Earth, Incurable Cough of Death, Utsuge, Soap Opera Disease, and Marked to Die. Sickly Child Grew Up Strong occurs when a heroic or powerful character is shown to have been this in their youth. They may be seen with an Illness Blanket. For the equestrian equivalent, see The Alleged Steed. noreallife |

Bleak Expectations: Parodied with Flora Diesearly, who a short while into her marriage to Pip Bin suddenly comes down with a mysterious rash of fainting, which Pip's doctor proclaims is a sign of the dread Nonspecific Weakness. Despite Pip's efforts, Flora Diesearly dies (though it is suggested that this is more from the medicine Pip bought, rather than the illness itself). Parodied even further with the terminally metaphorical streetsweeper, Joe Sentimental Overlord, who spends his time sitting around giving off metaphors about how he is at death's door, but never seems to actually die from whatever disease he's got. Pip Bin isn't sympathetic to him, and decades later regards him as irritating and whiny. |

In Cross Road, when Niccolo Paganini was very young, everyone but his mother had given up on the idea of his living past 10. He does reach adulthood, (believed to be thanks to the Power of Love in his mother's singing to him), but he remains sickly. His Deal with the Devil, in which his musical genius is Cast from Lifespan, doesn't help — though one theory is that the contract made him live long enough to play out its million songs, and that he would have died sooner without it. | |

Dreamscape: Keela's limbs are more skinny than the rest of the cast and she has a raspy voice, so she gives off this vibe. This also means it takes her longer to heal through traditional medicine. She reveals in 'The Mystery of Melinda' that she was in a near-death state before she made a Deal with the Devil, so she became "frozen" in that state of body when she became a Demon of Human Origin. | |

Unfortunately, viewers weren't a fan of his snotty (literally) ways, causing him to be the first eliminated from Season Two. That said, he has picked up a sizable fanbase more recently, most of which say he's adorable. | |

Larisa from Sandra and Woo is, as a diabetic, on insulin, among other things. "Cute" is not the right word to describe the chaotic pyromaniac fille fatale that Larisa is, though. As of the Wham Episode (which the creators accurately call "Dropping the Bomb"), we know that what's wrong with her is a lot worse than just diabetes. |

The Buildingverse (Roommates, Girls Next Door etc.) has several more-or-less-seriously ill-people who play on this trope (but the illnes won't be fatal as the Nobody Can Die rule is in effect): Mag (She is permanently blind); Satine (Has Victorian Novel Disease); Jareth (when he caught the magical cold and became insufferably cute too... though he got better; later he also got mortally wounded by a Weapon of X-Slaying). | |

ATTACK on MIKA: A father kicks out his wife and son but keeps the daughter...: Eiji and Sayuki's mother is a young woman who often fell ill, but her sickness didn't stop her husband from forcing her to do the chores even in that state. I put a voice recorder under my hospitalized brother's pillow: Yuuki is a sickly young boy who wanted to be with his older brother Hirokazu at all times, much to the latter's annoyance as their parents dote on the former. My sick and coddled sister said she wanted my boyfriend...: Kasumi still appeared sickly even when she was discharged from the hospital, but her older sister Masumi knows she's faking it so her parents will spoil her. Years later when they meet again, Kasumi notices she's dating Ren and tries to steal him from her. When Ren and Masumi come to her family's house, the former calls Kasumi out for faking her sickness, even showing her parents a photo of himself and Kasumi at the slots, and she's shown smoking. Of course, Kasumi rants at Ren, without knowing that she exposed her own facade to her parents. |

Fosca from the Stephen Sondheim musical Passion suffers from a conveniently vague illness that waxes and wanes according to her mood, but does nothing to make her more attractive; in a notable subversion of the "consumptive heroine" version of the trope, she's ugly, demanding, self-pitying, and doesn't inspire protectiveness in those around her so much as exasperation and mild disgust. | |

Iriana Estchell fits the typical characteristics, but she's not EXACTLY sick. However, she only has a handful of non-artificial organs and is very limited in the physical activities she's capable of doing, and will definitely go into a coma after five minutes outside. Why? Because she was made for the sole purpose of being the titular mech's pilot, without the intent of ever leaving it. Her body IS capable of regeneration mostly as a side-effect of her internal recycling so as to not require nutrients, but her source of energy is the mech. Without her battery, she's essentially immortal inside her Ilivais, but if she stays out too long, she'll eventually die. | |

In-character, Ironmouse of VShojo has been rendered weak and feeble due to being a demon who refuses to devour human souls. In real life, she suffers from Common Variable Immune Deficiency, a genetic disorder that has compromised her immune system, leaving her homebound and reliant on weekly plasma transfusions. Her signature squeaky voice is a result of CVID. | |

The music video for Sunmi's "Full Moon" has a wan, handsome young man who is bedridden with an illness that subjects him to coughing fits. Throughout most the video, he can only blearily watch the goings-on, lacking the strength to even sit up straight; when he tries getting up, he falls to the floor. A flashback shows him in a wheelchair, looking out the window. | |

MegaTokyo Miho is...complicated. Short version: Lots of fainting spells and time in the hospital. Long version: She's the in-universe Trope Maker. Her story, the archetype of a young girl dying from some nameless disease, tugged on the heartstrings of the world so much that it became more "real" than she ever was. She is forced to relive her sickness and "die" over and over again. How long this has been going on is unclear, but long enough that she hates the archetype she created. And just to further complicate things, she's The Chessmaster and the closest thing the comic has to a Big Bad. In-universe, Kotone, the girl Kimiko is voicing in the game Sight, is another. Details are sparse, but apparently she was kept innocent and sheltered her entire life. She's an Expy of Miho. Once we see Miho with long hair, the physical similarities become more clear. |

The Last Podcast on the Left: In their series on Grigori Rasputin, one of the factors that allowed Rasputin to gain the power he did was that Tsar Nicholas II's son Alexei was a hemophiliac, a condition only Rasputin could reliably alleviate and which the Romanovs kept very secret, lest it be known that Nicholas's heir be a weak, sickly child. Henry Zebrowski presents Alexei as a child constantly on his deathbed, explicitly comparing it to Colin Craven of The Secret Garden. | |
