Describing a character as being fond of and having a soft spot for children is an automatic Pet the Dog since Children Are Innocent with bonus points if the kids like the character back. (Double bonus points if the character is normally a hard-ass around adults) Characters who don't like kids are usually villains or anti-heroic. Note that this trope doesn't apply if it is a disguise put on to avoid suspicion for something else entirely... This is mainly a trait of the Gentle Giant, the Emotional Bruiser, All-Loving Hero, and a requirement for Purity Personifiednote Though not every friend to all children is Purity Personified unless Pure Is Not Good is in play, and a redeeming trait for many antiheroes and jerks. Overlaps with Wouldn't Hurt a Child, as characters who fit this trope not only refuse to injure children, but would go out of their way to protect children if it was necessary. Gods help you if you're dumb enough to harm a child in the presence of someone with this character trait. They will not forgive you, ever. (Though, this trope is a trait of many deities, so you may not get that help and may suffer even more for it in the next life.) Compare Friend to All Living Things and Big Brother Instinct, and contrast Child Hater. |

Watchmen: Rorschach is a clear-cut Anti-Hero and also one of the main prototypes of the '90s Anti-Hero. Nevertheless, he's got a soft spot for kids. For example, he'll call his former landlady a whore to her face... but not in front of her children. (Though that's tied up with his own childhood trauma and the assholes who called him 'whoreson' — and the fact that he hadn't realized until that moment that, unlike his mother, she cared about them.) Indeed his Start of Darkness was a Freudian Excuse combined with what he did when he realized just what one perp had done to the kidnapped little girl he was trying to rescue. In the prequel mini-series Before Watchmen: Minutemen, there's Silhouette, a badass lesbian vigilante whose mission in life is protecting children — and destroying all those who exploit and abuse them. |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): This Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) fanfiction has a couple cases. "Young ones" being threatened is one way to piss the Titan Thor off. Vivienne Graham used to babysit Ilene's twin daughters, whom are clearly very fond of her in turn. | |

The Mighty Thor: The Asgardian Volstagg of the Warriors Three loves kids; he and his wife have seven of their own, including two boys from Earth that they adopted. (When those two first met him, they mistook him for Santa Claus.) This is played utterly tragically when he takes a whole bunch of orphaned Light Elf refugees under his wing, giving them everything he has to feed them, and trying to protect them from a Muspelheim bombing raid. Unfortunately, he is a great deal more durable than they are, meaning that they burned to ash in his arms. This utterly breaks him resulting in him picking up the hammer of the Ultimate Thor, full of the pain and rage of a dead universe, becoming 'the War Thor' and making a very spirited attempt at destroying Muspelheim. | |

X-Men: Wolverine has a tendency to take on a mentor/big-brother role to the younger members of the team. Starting with Kitty Pryde, then Jubilee, and then X-23 and Armor, as well as a team up with the Power Pack and 5-year-old Katie Power. All his mentoring storylines were combined into Rogue for X-Men. Case in point, when his rivalry with Cyclops boiled over in Schism and they came to blows, it was over the issue of getting the younger X-Men involved in combat (most specifically, involving Laura and Elixir in X-Force); with Cyclops willing to allow it but Wolverine dead-set against it. In the wake of the event, Wolverine took his half of the X-Men and re-established the school for young mutants that the group originally had been. Emma Frost was a villain for years. The main thing that led to her Heel–Face Turn, and her chief saving grace, is that she cares deeply about any children placed in her care — partly because her own childhood was lousy, but mainly because she feels overwhelming guilt for the death of the Hellions, the Hellfire Club's answer to the New Mutants, who were under her command when they died. She even snapped and killed her older sister, Adrienne, after she caused the death of Synch, one of Emma's students from Generation X. X-Men (2019) revealed Exodus to be one of these in a bit of Character Development that made a lot of his actions in earlier stories (rescuing Luna Maximoff in Blood Tiesnote before succumbing to With Great Power Comes Great Insanity and trying to kill her, attempting to abduct the infant Hope Summers in Messiah Complex, attempting to convert a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier into an "ark" for newborn mutants right before that) make a lot more sense. As a seat holder on Krakoa's governing Quiet Council, he seems to hold a role roughly analogous to Minister of Education for the island's younger mutants. Cable and his younger half-brother Nate Grey are both toweringly tall, and muscular to degrees varying from lean to absurd, and immensely powerful psychics. They cut often intimidating figures, being perhaps the only two mutants who Apocalypse fears and/or respects, having been raised in dystopias that he ruled. It leaves both of them a bit gruff, and in Nate's case, downright weird at times, to the point where everyone is a bit scared of them (except their mother, sister, and daughter/niece, Hope). However, even at their most stand-offish and scary, they are very fond of children and very good with them - and more to the point, incredibly protective of them. |

Hitman (1998): The protagonist may be an expert assassin and fighter, but he sure has a soft spot for children. During a scene in an amusement park, he befriends a boy and helps the child win a prize at a coin-toss stand thanks to his Improbable Aiming Skills. Another child approaches, so he wins a Second Prize for the kid as well. A few seconds later, a whole horde of children have gathered behind our hero, who then progressively strips the stall of every available toy and prize for the kids around him, and the stall's owner is NOT amused. | |

In The Season's My Reason, Rosemary is very popular among the babies (such as Hugtan, Elle-chan, and Chiffon, for being gentle and nurtuing, with the added bonus of having soft skin and always smelling nice. In one chapter, Rosemary even mentions wanting a child of his own, which would indeed happen in a follow-up fic, Welcoming Chiho, in which he and his boyfriend have a baby daughter, Chiho. | |

Victor Mancha might also count; when he and Nico were still a couple, he expressed a desire to one day have kids, and in the alternate future of Age of Ultron, he's seen taking care of a group of orphans. | |

Justice League: Batman comforts Ace, a sort-of Dark Magical Girl with massive powers, who was dying of a terminal disease and only had hours to live. She had asked him to stay by her side because she was scared of dying alone... and he did. In "Injustice for All", he gently coaxed a little girl to come with him in order to escape a burning building. The Flash, being Fun Personified, loves kids a lot himself. He spends every Christmas hanging out with kids at an orphanage in his hometown and giving them toys, and often steps out of fights to protect kids from collateral damage made when fighting bad guys. |

In Walking in Circles, Evelyn Trevelya loves children. On her third encounter with Solas, she was trying to coax an elven child out of his hiding spot and then protected him from Grieves. Her main job in the tower is to teach the younger apprentices, including secretly preparing them to survive their Harrowing. And when she becomes Herald, children in Haven flock to her with gifts of flowers and herbs which she accepts unlike everything else that she turned away. It’s deconstructed later when her love for children and seeing the younger mages being slaughtered or Tranquilized is what pushes her to side with Solas in his plan of taking down the Veil. | |

In Monster Mash (2000), Frank is shown to be fond of kids. The opening narration shows him befriending a little girl, he smiles when a human baby kisses him during the monsters' trial and he enjoys playing with Stella and Spike Tinklemeister when he's trying to scare them. | |

Despite being a grittier reboot, it preserves this trait. Unlike most of the adults, children aren't afraid of Batman, instead admiring him as a hero figure. Batman doesn't seem to mind them, either. In Batman Begins, he gave away one of his gadgets when a boy said that "No one would believe [him]" about meeting Batman. | |

In RWBY, Volumes 7 and 8 imply Jaune is that. He's chosen to take care of kids in their morning school course and, in turn, they look to respect him. This becomes useful later in evacuation situations, where the kids are the first to take his orders seriously. | |

DC: The New Frontier used this as an explanation as to why Batman adopted a friendlier look and took in Robin during the Silver Age. He didn't like it when a child he tried to rescue ended up being even more scared of him than the thugs who kidnapped him. When Superman asked him about the changes, all he would tell him is that he intends to scare criminals, not children. | |

Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman adores children, partially because she was raised on an island where she was the only one and had never seen one outside of pictures prior to leaving the island. If a child is threatened, she can be scarier than Batman and this was true even back when she was the only member of DC's big three with a true no-killing rule—Bats and Supes were reluctant to kill but did not have an outright rule against it at their start like Wondy did. An example of her caring for children is Donna Troy's most familiar origin story; she was a lone undocumented child Diana rescued from a fire, and then took to Paradise Island for treatment. As there were no records of the toddler and no one to claim her Diana's mother adopted her and Donna became Diana's little sister and eventual sidekick. In Wonder Woman (1942), the "Wonder Woman of History" feature for Annie Jump Cannon presents her love of children as the only thing to overtake her love of her astronomy work, with her allowing any kid who asked to treat her as an honorary aunt. In Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed, Diana argues with her mother about the refugees still in the water until she realizes some of them are children. At that point, she unhesitatingly disobeys the queen and in so doing forever loses her home as she leaves the barrier to rescue them. Once she's at the refugee camp, she spends much of her time playing with the children and continues to be protective of and friendly with kids in New York. She gives a nice summary of her mindset: |

Hagrid of Harry Potter. Sure, the fact that he's a Nightmare Fetishist Fluffy Tamer tends to freak people out, but he is rather fond of children. Put another way: you know Hagrid would never try to hurt your kid but you can't blame people for wondering if he's really the best person to be teaching a class on magical zoology. | |

X-Men (2019) revealed Exodus to be one of these in a bit of Character Development that made a lot of his actions in earlier stories (rescuing Luna Maximoff in Blood Tiesnote before succumbing to With Great Power Comes Great Insanity and trying to kill her, attempting to abduct the infant Hope Summers in Messiah Complex, attempting to convert a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier into an "ark" for newborn mutants right before that) make a lot more sense. As a seat holder on Krakoa's governing Quiet Council, he seems to hold a role roughly analogous to Minister of Education for the island's younger mutants. | |

The Dresden Files: "Gentleman" Johnny Marcone is a ruthless and highly ambitious mafia boss, who is usually all about business and profit. Every book he's in has at least one mention of his evil acts and a reminder of how he's a cold, ruthless man who earned his place at the head of Chicago's crime scene. Harm a child on his turf, however, and he will spare no expense in tracking you down and murdering you until you die. You should count yourself lucky if he stops there. Harry Dresden himself. He considers becoming a vampire of the Red Court to stop the war between them and the White Council of Wizards, but the vampire who offered fed on children (since said vampire was planning to betray him anyway, this is something of a moot point and soon the vampire was squashed by a falling satellite). Also, he named Ivy. His response to a little girl in Changes (his daughter) being kidnapped: Michael also. The closest he has ever come to killing someone in cold blood was someone who kidnapped his daughter. Harry has to step in. |

King of the Hill: Hank Hill is shown to be really good with kids in several episodes, including one where he becomes the substitute shop teacher at his son's school and is very popular with the kids because his teaching style is informal, educational, and fun. In another, he stops some kids from getting into a makeout party by using old-school party games, and they end up legitimately having fun, causing the neighbors' wives to remark that his reliability and skill with kids are very attractive traits. Naturally, the only kids he seems to have trouble getting along with are Bobby and Caleb from "Hank's Bully" who keeps taunting Hank while the lenient parents stand idly by saying that Caleb is just expressing himself until Hank gets fed up and has Bobby start annoying Caleb's parents who ultimately lose it and start getting tough with their son. | |

Discworld: Nanny Ogg loves children and they (for the most part) love her, without much effort or forethought on her part. Much to the consternation of Magrat, who puts in effort (and research) to be a friend to all children, but sucked at it. (At least until she had one of her own.) The last King of Ankh-Morpork, Lorenzo the Kind, possibly. After a description of how Samuel Vimes' ancestor killed him in Men at Arms, it is mentioned that his official portrait showed him surrounded by kids and "he was very fond of children". Given how later books portray him, this may be either a lie or a horrific euphemism. (Discworld Roleplaying Game says that his "private depredations were so unspeakable that people actually did not speak of them".) |

Tony Stark seems to have an affinity for kids; he's notably more patient and less acerbic around them. There's a throwaway gag where he helps a kid in Iron Man 2 (Word of God that it's Peter Parker), he bonds with Harley Keener in Iron Man 3 and he's a mentor (as well as an indirect father figure) for a teenage Peter Parker. Taken to its logical conclusion when he becomes an excellent father to his daughter Morgan. | |

In Longbox of the Damned, Moarte has a special fondness towards children, as he likes to share scary stories with the "children" in his audience.

In Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed, Diana argues with her mother about the refugees still in the water until she realizes some of them are children. At that point, she unhesitatingly disobeys the queen and in so doing forever loses her home as she leaves the barrier to rescue them. Once she's at the refugee camp, she spends much of her time playing with the children and continues to be protective of and friendly with kids in New York. She gives a nice summary of her mindset: | |

Matt, Pat, and Woolie of Two Best Friends Play like to claim that they're not fond of children, but often end up becoming attached to younger characters in the games they play. Matt and Pat ended up becoming protective of both Clementine and Ellie, and during their playthrough of Beyond: Two Souls (which they made no secret about their disdain for), all three of them proceeded to freak out when it looked like a homeless Jodie was about to give a man a blow job for $10. | |

Owen, the manager and owner of the Water Wizz water park in The Way, Way Back, is a bonafide Manchild who wanders the park in a bathrobe and playfully teases everyone around him. Even so, he is sensitive to 14-year-old Duncan's problems and teaches 10-year-old Peter to not be ashamed of his lazy eye. | |

Amos Burton from The Expanse series. Despite being messed up in his head in some undefined manner that makes him extremely blasé about killing and death and not entirely understanding 'morality', Amos is universally friendly to children and will never, ever, harm one. He befriends multiple children and teenagers over the course of several novels and harming children in any way is the fastest way to get on his bad side. It's more or less stated outright that his own horrible childhood is one cause of it. | |

The Dark Knight Trilogy: Despite being a grittier reboot, it preserves this trait. Unlike most of the adults, children aren't afraid of Batman, instead admiring him as a hero figure. Batman doesn't seem to mind them, either. In Batman Begins, he gave away one of his gadgets when a boy said that "No one would believe [him]" about meeting Batman. In The Dark Knight, he rescued and then chastised his younger copycats for trying to fight crime without adequate armor, then bowed his head in grief towards Gordon's son when Gordon was supposedly killed. The Dark Knight Rises: This trope may also apply to Bane. After all, he sacrificed his own well-being to save a young Talia Al G'hul from an angry prison mob so she can escape and right before he blows up a football field, he remarks on a child's "lovely, lovely" singing voice, and allows him to finish singing before commencing his attack. |

Amaranthine Saga: This is a noted trait of Argent Mettlebright, which astonishes people who do not know him well. To most, he is an aloof, dryly sarcastic, and intimidating Noble Demon. To children, he is gentle, patient, and protective. An act of kindness to a child results in his being enslaved for multiple centuries, but he still does not regret the kindness. Later, he adopts a foundling and agrees to turn his home into an orphanage, as well as quickly winning over every young child to cross his path. He even has a soft spot for multiple members of the Smythe family that he might otherwise despise, seemingly because he has fond memories of them as children. Kip and Ash in Tamiko and the Two Janitors chose to spend their unlimited life spans working in an elementary school, playing with children at recess, and gently modeling life skills. In different guises, they have been adored by generations of children. |

Equestria Girls: Friendship Souls: The Fourth Espada is considered dangerous and unstable even by other Arrancars, but he has a soft spot for orphaned children. ...Or rather, the orphaned children of Hollows. It's unclear how he feels about human kids, though given how he saved the half-dead Human Sunset Shimmer from being killed when she ended up in Hueco Mundo and even makes trips to the human world to get her supplies, it can probably be assumed he feels similarly about that too. | |

Ghost Rider: The series has two notable examples with the titular skeletal Anti-Heroes despite their terrifying looks and often brutal methods in vanquishing evil. The Johnny Blaze version is very protective of children and it remains one of his most enduring traits, having once been a loving father himself before he lost his family due to the machinations of Mephisto and The Legions of Hell. Notably, even at his darkest, most selfish phase during the final years of his '90s Anti-Hero characterization, he was still capable of genuinely courageous and heroic deeds whenever a child needed saving, and would never even consider putting them in harm's way for his own benefit. One such example was during the "Heaven's on Fire" story arc from the mid-2000s run, which saw Johnny meeting Baron Skullfire and other Ghost Riders for the first time as they were gearing up to save both themselves and the world from the corrupted archangel Zadkiel's army. Johnny made it clear that he couldn't care less for the Riders' cause and almost left them to fend for themselves, but changed his mind as soon as he saw young children among those helping Baron Skullfire's resistance movement, having realized that to abandon the other Riders meant he would've condemned those children too. As of his modern day Older and Wiser portrayals, just seeing kids smile and being happy is enough to keep Johnny motivated to continue his role as a Ghost Rider no matter how harsh and grueling the lifestyle can be. The Danny Ketch/Noble Kale version also exhibits this trait. Like Johnny Blaze, innocent little children are never victims of his wrath and he deems them worthy of his protection. One time, he saved a little blind boy (who thought he was Santa) from human traffickers and burned the kidnappers alive before returning the boy home to his parents. Subverted by a one-off villain. She had a good reputation with children and many of them came over to her house to play. How she kept this reputation when kids kept disappearing isn't explained. After being crippled, she sells her soul to a demon that she uses to hunt down more children. |

Several heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Tony Stark seems to have an affinity for kids; he's notably more patient and less acerbic around them. There's a throwaway gag where he helps a kid in Iron Man 2 (Word of God that it's Peter Parker), he bonds with Harley Keener in Iron Man 3 and he's a mentor (as well as an indirect father figure) for a teenage Peter Parker. Taken to its logical conclusion when he becomes an excellent father to his daughter Morgan. Groot, from Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): while on Knowhere, when a group of impoverished kids approach the heroes in the hopes of getting a little money, Groot offers one little girl a blue flower that he grew on his body. The little girl's face practically lights up like a Christmas tree. T'Challa. Towards the end of Black Panther (2018), he calls forth one of his jets to amaze the local children in Oakland. It helps that T'Challa has a Wouldn't Hurt a Child mentality. Carol Danvers is much friendlier to kids than she is to other adults (save Maria Rambeau and Nick Fury), possibly owing to having an unpleasant upbringing. She's an Honorary Aunt and close friend to Maria's daughter Monica, and she quickly bonds with the Skrull children who took refuge in Mar-Vell's laboratory. She's also very pleasant to Peter Parker (a sixteen-year-old boy) during the Final Battle of Endgame, which is substantially nicer than we see her when interacting with the other Avengers. Stephen Strange forms close bonds with the aforementioned Peter Parker and America Chavez (both teenaged heroes). Professor Hulk, in contrast to his previous self, has children run up to him for selfies in Avengers: Endgame. In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Drax the Destroyer uses silly sounds and goofy antics to calm down dozens of scared, crying girls in the High Evolutionary's ship. Taken further in the end when he leaves the Guardians to devote himself as a full-time father to them. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: One of the hints that Zuko is a good guy pre-Heel–Face Turn is that he's good with kids. This follows him post-redemption arc and into his reign as Fire Lord, especially once he finds out that he's got a much younger half-sister to whom he's an excellent brother. He's also implied to be an outstanding father and grandfather in The Legend of Korra (see below). Aang is really good with kids, too, as part of his All-Loving Hero schtick. This trope applies to Iroh, as well. In flashbacks, he is shown to have had a loving, playful relationship with his own son, Lu Ten, and in "The Tales of Ba Sing Se," he gets two key moments that highlight this aspect of his personality: First, he sings "Leaves from the Vine" to help calm down a fussy toddler; later, he advises a group of kids playing earthbender soccer to own up to their accidental destruction of a window (though when the irate homeowner reveals himself, Iroh retracts this statement and tells the kids to retreat). His conversation with Toph Beifong in "The Chase" also demonstrates this. The Legend of Korra: Korra absolutely adores Tenzin's kids, and acts as a Cool Big Sis figure to them. They adore her right back. It may be partly due to the fact that she's the reincarnation of their grandfather Aang, but still. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Tinker gnomes build auto-gnomes, Clockwork Creatures resembling gnomes which have three directives, one of which is to protect children. While whoever thought this up had good intentions, the species of the children was never specified, which can cause problems when the tinkers have to deal with races they regard as enemies. (Especially since an auto-gnome's first directive is to defend gnomes from assault by non-gnomes, and tends to malfunction if it has to deal with a situation where its directives contradict.) Very little is known of the mysterious Zaphikiel, the mightiest of the Hebdomad and one of the most powerful of celestial beings. One thing that is known about him is that he takes custody of the souls of murdered infants and those that died as a result of miscarriage, faithfully protecting what he sees as innocence in purest form. |

Jerusalem gives us Johnny Byron, a former daredevil and local legend who lives in a trailer in the local woods, and is seen as a sort of modern-day Pied Piper. Local teenagers spend most of their free time hanging out at his place, getting drunk, doing drugs, and generally having fun; he regales them with mad stories of his former exploits and supposed encounters with real-life giants. This is portrayed as being a sort of tradition, with several characters in their late twenties and early thirties discussing how they used to be the kids who hung out at Johnny's place. Subverted in two ways, though: firstly in that Johnny's sheltering of the kids is not always seen as wholesome (naturally); and secondly in that it is revealed the kids don't really care about him as a person and mock him behind his back for being a crazy loner unable to pay taxes. | |

After gene therapy makes her a genius, she becomes much stricter and less friendly with the children. Once she goes off the formula, she seems to get her old fondness for kids back, judging by her new career path as a special-ed teacher. | |

Christine (2016): Christine adores children and volunteers her time doing puppet shows at the children's hospital.

In an episode of Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, he makes a despicable Royal Brat change her ways, before discovering the horrific reason why she feels she must drive everyone away. Even Tigress shows a caring side for young children every now and then as a young goose named Zan looks up to her as a big sister mentor figure while looking for his parents in "Kung Fu Day Care"; one of the panda girls in Kung Fu Panda 3 is fond of Tigress, after Po gave her his Tigress action figure. | |

Zootopia: Judy has a soft spot for kids as she quickly falls for Nick's scam at the ice cream shop when she sees his elephant-loving "son" with dreams of becoming one (actually a disguised Finnick) that she not only buys the Jumbo Pop for Finnick but also takes him by the hand and gives him a ZPD sticker while encouraging him to pursue his dream. This even causes her to discover that she was scammed when she sees Finnick later on her shift and excitedly goes to greet him. Much later on in the film, what inspires her to take the case of Emmitt Otterton is seeing his wife pulling out a picture of their two kids. | |

Their entire raison d'etre is to defile the bodies of those killed in battle so that no one can pretend that war is glorious. They stink to high heaven, they have an aura of fear and they feed off of the fear they cause in others. Many individuals have a real soft spot towards children of any species. They even take 10-year-old Maura for a joy ride by hanging onto the ropes of a swing that she's sitting on. Rikash reluctantly explains "It is hard for us to bear young. That being the case, we value others' young, particularly when they are neglected. Affection has led me to indulge Lady Maura more than is wise." In a later book, they perch around a square where a mob is rioting in order to feed off the fear... and then swoop down to save children who were about to be trampled. | |

Batman: Batman's not the touchy-feely sort that usually dominates this trope, but he definitely seems to have shades of it — possibly because his own childhood was cut off in such a nightmarish manner. Look at Robin, whom Bats adopted solely because he needed it. He shows similar tendencies in the graphic novel Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and several other sources, most likely due to his orphaning at such a young age. He does NOT like people to mess with kids. In the No Man's Land novel, he tells Gordon that he won't interfere if he kills Joker, Joker having just shot Sarah, Gordon's wife. However, he also just kidnapped and violently endangered 30-something babies. In that same arc, Poison Ivy also fulfills this trope. She takes over the Gotham City Park but winds up making it a refuge for all the children orphaned in the earthquake. When the police try to force her out and are willing to destroy the whole place if they have to in order to defeat her monstrous plants, she eventually turns herself in without a fight so that one of the children can get urgently needed medical attention. Batman practically runs an orphanage with the way he keeps taking on kids under his wing. The list includes: Dick/Robin/Nightwing, Barbara/Batgirl/Oracle, Jason/Robin II/Red Hood, Tim/Robin III/Red Robin, Damian/Robin V, Cassandra/Batgirl II/Orphan II, and Stephanie/Spoiler/Robin IV/Batgirl III. Even in the world of The Dark Knight Returns, where it got worse with Dick, Batman still has Carrie Kelly as Robin "DKR". Cynics might point out that all of the aforementioned kids Batman takes in become Robin or/and Batgirl at some point, but Batman has fostered kids temporarily and returned them to normal life. Possibly the best-known example of this is in the "You Should've Seen Him" story (Batman #423). Batman finds a brother and sister orphan pair dumpster diving to survive and works as Bruce to reunite them with a surviving relative. In most cases, the kids insist on joining Batman's crimefighting crusade over his protests. He provides them training, support, and equipment to maximize their chances of survival. One of the most recurring things about Batman is the fact that he's never scary to children, despite being downright blood-chilling to criminals. "The Batman Nobody Knows" (Batman #250) takes this to its logical conclusion. Bruce takes some inner-city kids camping. Naturally they swap scary stories around a campfire, and this being Gotham, all the kids talk about Batman. Their exaggeration makes Bats seem like part demon, part giant, and also "Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, Shaft, and Superfly all rolled into one!" Finally, having slipped away during the last story, THE Batman leaps into the firelight. Not only are the kids not scared, they recognize him as Bruce! Alex Ross' Justice shows what the superheroes would do if the world was ending. Batman would round up as many children as he can and take them to the Batcave for shelter. DC: The New Frontier used this as an explanation as to why Batman adopted a friendlier look and took in Robin during the Silver Age. He didn't like it when a child he tried to rescue ended up being even more scared of him than the thugs who kidnapped him. When Superman asked him about the changes, all he would tell him is that he intends to scare criminals, not children. Subverted for most of All-Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder, in which he abducts the orphaned Dick Grayson and places the already-traumatized boy through a Training from Hell regimen that includes, among other things, being forced to hunt and eat rats in the Batcave. As Red from Overly Sarcastic Productions puts it, "Could you picture this Batman comforting a scared child? If yes, congratulations! This a certified Batman. If not, I'm afraid you instead have The Punisher in a silly hat." |

The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police: This is a defining trait of Sam and Max in this adaptation. Although they rarely interact with kids in the rest of the series, here, they get along great with kids. Perhaps, like the creators of the cartoon themselves, Sam and Max realized that kids would love their antics, as long as they're toned down a little. | |

Gamera is the Trope Namer because this is one of his titles. Interestingly, he started off as just another rampaging Kaiju designed to compete with the monstrous success of the Godzilla movies, but director Noriaki Yuasa and screenwriter Niisan Takahashi included the scene where he rescues Toshio/Kenny in hopes of making him a kid-friendly icon. It worked, but the characterization wasn't cemented until the third movie, Gamera vs. Gyaos, as the studio wanted a more serious and adult-focused sequel. The result, Gamera vs. Barugon, had no children in the cast and was easily the darkest and most serious of the Showa-era movies. When it underperformed at the box office, Yuasa was handed the reins and firmly established Gamera as the benevolent protector he's known as today. | |

In The Secret of Platform 13, the narration notes that "Nanny Brown wasn't a particularly nice woman, but she loved babies." She went along with Mrs. Trottle's kidnapping plot partly because she was blackmailed, and partly because, well, someone had to take care of that kid, and she knew that Mrs. Trottle was too horrible to be trusted with the job. (Though, in her defense, Mrs. Trottle herself turns out to be a Mama Bear.) | |

Von Pinn from Girl Genius isn't necessarily fond of kids, but as a completely frightening construct designed to protect her charges, she cannot bring herself to harm children, even if they stand in the way of her duty. When Bangladesh Dupree tries to get around this and kills the girl standing in the way of their pursuit of Agatha, Von Pinn nearly takes her head off. Oh, she's fond of kids. Monster Nanny terrifies the living daylights out of them, but all of them know she loves them. Tarvek and Gil are particularly voluble on the subject. The reason she is so unhinged in the first place is that she failed to save Agatha's brother when Castle Heterodyne was attacked. |

This is enough to cause her to break from the pack and ally with several of the younger tributes (including a Tribute from District 6) after being thrust into a Games where all the tributes reaped were 12-year-olds. She also ends up giving her life to protect several orphans from a pack of Reaper Mutts during the Second Rebellion. | |

Superman: Superman, in spades. Kid heroes, like the first three Robins, think Superman is extremely cool because he never talks down to them the way many heroes do to their grown-up pals' "sidekicks". Pre-Crisis (and in a few of the myriad of Post-Crisis retcons), it might stem from Superman having once been a Kid Hero himself (as Superboy). In All-Star Superman while dying from cellular decay Clark has shrunken down Kandorians try and repair his cells but they are unsuccessful. Supes then decides to put his microscopic allies to better use and flies to a nearby hospital and visits the children who are dying of cancer and holding out his hand he lets the little supermen fly out and do their work. In the same comic there’s the famous moment where Superman despite being busy with other matters, goes out of his way to prevent a Regan teenage girl from committing suicide on a rooftop. Telling her she’s stronger than she’ll ever know before giving her a Cool-Down Hug while she cries into his chest. |

Recess: Miss Grotke tends to be more forgiving and lenient towards the students of Third Street School than the rest of the faculty. And the movie reveals that, believe it or not, Principal Prickly was one back in the 1960s when he first got into teaching. He even wanted to hold his classes outside on the playground and was horrified when he learned that Phillium Benedict wanted to get rid of recess. |

Later on, after he gets cured, Mat saves Olver from getting beaten and tries to hire a local innkeeper to take care of him. Mat ends up all but adopting Olver after he follows him. Takes a dark turn in the character of Mesaana. While the other Forsaken were out leading armies against the forces of the Light during the Age of Legends, Mesaana spent her time setting up schools for children in conquered territories. However, it was there that she taught them the values of the Shadow and encouraged them to turn on their own families. Three thousand years later, people still cringe in horror at tales of "Mesaana's Children". |

In "Loo Loo Land", one of his robotic copies is shown being rather rough with children due to being a buggy, poorly-maintained, cheap knockoff of the real Fizzarolli mass-produced by Mammon for the sake of making more money (and originally designed to be a Sex Bot to boot). The real Fizzarolli, on the other hand, is shown in "Mammon's Magnificent Musical" to be passionate enough about his craft to communicate with a mute child with Signed Language and encourage him to follow his dreams. | |

The last King of Ankh-Morpork, Lorenzo the Kind, possibly. After a description of how Samuel Vimes' ancestor killed him in Men at Arms, it is mentioned that his official portrait showed him surrounded by kids and "he was very fond of children". Given how later books portray him, this may be either a lie or a horrific euphemism. (Discworld Roleplaying Game says that his "private depredations were so unspeakable that people actually did not speak of them".) | |

In the Island in the Sea of Time books, Swindapa loves kids, even going so far as to adopt a pair of orphans at the end of the first book and expressing a desire to adopt some more in the second book. This has caused some tensions with her partner Marian, who's older and not entirely keen on having a litter of kids underfoot. | |

Turanga Leela from Futurama. While she's tough and no-nonsense, she has a soft spot for children, particularly orphans since she was one herself. When she begins making money from a children's show she created, she uses most of the money to buy books and toys for a group of orphans and wants the show to be a reminder to them that they can achieve their dreams too. | |

The Idiot: Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin was beloved by children when he was getting over his illness in Switzerland. It's also to some degree why he makes friends so easily with Kolya, who's a young teen. It's likely because Children Are Innocent so he, being the ultimate innocent, can relate to them better, and can influence them to adopt his kind and giving mindset before they become too jaded. | |

Marilith: Marilith when she started out in her less than lawful career, used to pay to feed an African child every time she killed someone. Eventually she could no longer afford to; now the kids are banded together into something of a war group to find out what happened to her. She also arranged the capture, and suggested rape, of a date rapist. The girl he hurt is not all that old. It's also one of the few times she negotiates on prices. She is also partnered with her possibly Stockholm Syndromed ex-mark, who is either young or has fantastic genes. Christi is also intent on saving Marilith's partner; being an orphan, she is sensitive to the plights of children. |

Spider-Man: Spider-Man has to deal with a lot of crap from adults, but not kids. Kids love their Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. One Christmas Special has Spider-Man making his regular visit to the sick children's ward in hospital to the utter jubilation of the kids. Unfortunately, J. Jonah Jameson is also there and angrily tells Spider-Man to buzz off, however every single boy and girl, as well as the nurse, vetoes this demanding that "Spidey" can stay and the kids even rip into Jameson, pointing out all the times Spider-Man has selflessly saved and cared for them. At the end of the issue, armed criminals burst into the hospital and threaten the children, triggering an Unstoppable Rage from Spidey. | |

In Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, one of Dr. Horrible's reasons for refusing to fight a self-proclaimed nemesis in the City Park is that "there's kids in that park." Also, when told he has to kill someone to enter the Evil League of Evil, he's offered the suggestion of a child who is destined to become President of the United States. Dr. Horrible replies that he's not going to kill a kid. | |

As mentioned above, Young Justice (2010) has Batman being more of a fatherly figure to Robin and the rest of the team than Superman. He's also been implied to be close to Captain Marvel, being the only Leaguer to know that he was ten years old. The tie-in comics show Batman giving him an opening to confess his secret, and while he isn't always patient with Billy, he'll explain things to him and didn't glare when Cap hugged him. | |

Thunderhead, Edna points out, was also good with kids. He, along with a male roommate, was a foster parent for five children. |

Tiny Toon Adventures: Fowlmouth, a side character, swears a (bleeped out) blue streak in every known context except in the presence of babies. He believes that swearing in front of babies is crude. Aside from getting even with the antagonists, Buster Bunny also helps out kids who have been or may have been victimized by them. Such examples include the short, "Ruffled Ruffee" (part of "Music Day"), wherein he saves a bunch of kids from being bored to death by the titular arrogant children's entertainer, and the short, "Buster's New Bike" (part of "Son of the Wacko World of Sports"), wherein he exposed Bicycle Bob as a con-artist bicycle salesman who sells shoddy bikes to kids. Also, in the short, "Turtle Hurdle" (part of "The Wide World of Elmyra"), he interrupts the segment to warn the kids watching the show NOT to attempt what Elmyra had just done (telling her dad to suddenly stop the car in the middle of the busy road so she can run out in traffic to save her pet turtle). |

The Punisher: The Punisher usually gets along pretty well with children, Molly Hayes kicking him in the nuts notwithstanding. Having lost his own kids in his tragic backstory probably has something to do with that. It usually involves his seeing them as his own kids that he was unable to protect. In one of his more awesome moments, he's tasked with retrieving a little girl in Russia whose blood contains an experimental supervirus along with another Special Forces guy, slaughtering the Russians sent to prevent that from happening. After he escapes (in a nuclear missile), he boards the pickup submarine and refuses to let anyone approach her, resulting in the virus decaying until it's unusable. When Frank is greeted by a large army unit and the general behind the operation, the soldiers are rather iffy about shooting him. Then Nick Fury (who gave him the mission in the first place) stands next to Frank, and the soldiers give up. While not often shown, Nick Fury can be this trope as well. He tends to be a Reasonable Authority Figure who dislikes kids being in danger. In Ultimate Spider-Man, despite some tension at first him and the titular web-slinger, Fury quickly becomes fond of the teenager and becomes an ally to him.note This makes sense when you remember that Fury knew Spider-Man's parents Despite his initial dislike of him later in the series, he eventually develops the same relationship with Miles Morales. In another story, Frank is just getting ready to snipe a crime boss from a shooter's nest he'd set up in an alley off Times Square when he hears a noise and turns around to see a little girl asking if he can please help her find her dad. Frank's on a tight schedule because the crime boss won't be in the open for long, but stows his gun immediately and helps the girl. While walking through Times Square he holds her hand, lets her ride on his shoulders, buys her a doll, and keeps her very close. Even when he has to take his eyes off her in order to check his target, he always asks her a question to get her talking so that her voice will let him know where she is. This whole time, he is having very strong flashback memories to being with his own daughter before she died. When they finally find her father in an area that's a little off the beaten path, they run to each other. The dad looks up to Frank, thanking him profusely and saying that he'd just looked away from her for a minute, then just about shits his pants when he realizes he's looking at a scarred, heavily muscled and grim-faced man who's wearing a skull t-shirt and unslinging a sniper rifle. Frank tells the man to stand up and hold still, then uses his shoulder to rest his rifle in order to get a better shot at the crime boss. Frank shoots the crime boss while the man tightly hugs his daughter in order to keep her from seeing what is going on. His mission accomplished and the girl safe, he stows his rifle back under his coat and starts to walk away. Then he pauses, turns around, and tells her father one last thing: "Never look away, not even for a minute." |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Fluttershy is this as part of her being a Friend to All Living Things. In fact, threatening young ponies is a good way to anger her, as the unlucky cockatrice from "Stare Master" found out. Pinkie Pie also counts; she's acted as a Cool Big Sis for Spike and Apple Bloom, chaperoned the local kids on "Nightmare Night", adores Mr. & Mrs. Cake's infant twins Pound and Pumpkin Cake and frequently plays with and watches over them, and during her Image Song "Smile, Smile, Smile" she goes out of her way to make kids happy. Princess Luna, after seeing how much the kids enjoy Nightmare Night, un-canceled it. She also helps watch over the fillies and colts of Equestria's dreams, coming into them and helping them deal with nightmares. She's done this on separate occasions for each of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, helping them overcome their doubts to become better ponies. Also in "A Royal Problem", she becomes depressed after she learns she inadvertently caused local school fillies to be unable to raise enough money for a field trip. She even has a nightmare about it later, with one of the fillies tearfully asking her "Why don't you want us to go on our field trip?" It scared her so badly that her teeth start to fall out. Rainbow Dash counts as well, surprisingly. Even though Word of God says she wouldn't be the best big sister, she tries her hardest to coach Apple Bloom through various activities such as karate, kite flying, juggling, and "Ultra Pony" roller derby. She is also genuinely concerned for Scootaloo's welfare in "Sleepless in Ponyville" and ends up adopting her as her surrogate little sister at the end of the episode. She's not the best role model, but she certainly tries. Countess Coloratura, despite having the image of a "demanding diva", has stated that her favorite part of every event she goes to is meeting with the schoolponies. This is also used as part of her Secret Test of Character set up by her and Applejack: when her manager Svengallop actually believes she would cancel her contest with the schoolponies, she realizes he doesn't understand the real her at all. Protagonist Twilight Sparkle counts as well. She's eager to act as a mentor to the Cutie Mark Crusaders and is very kind and accommodating to her younger fans. In one episode, her problem is that she wants to both spend time with her baby niece and read to sick children at the hospital. |

Fitz Kreiner, from the Doctor Who Expanded Universe Eighth Doctor Adventures: Deadpan Snarker, chain-smokes, has Perma-Stubble, is a Lovable Sex Maniac or at best a Chivalrous Pervert... you know the type. Also, in one story, happily gets a job working at a home for kids who mostly have special needs (or are at least about as screwed-up as he is), and in another puts up with a very creepy Waif Prophet type following him around and talking endlessly. He's far more avuncular than paternal, though, and is horrified when a Delivery Stork nearly brings him a baby... but it's just carrying a bomb. Whew. Crisis averted. | |

Aunt Dimity: Bree Pym proves to be this in Aunt Dimity and the Lost Prince. Not only does she help entertain Lori's seven-year-old twins when the family is suffering a bit of cabin fever (thanks in part to newly revealed talents for juggling, acrobatics, and sleight-of-hand magic, she befriends a poor family from a nearby town and invites them to visit her cottage near Finch on a regular basis. | |

Lumbanico, the Cubic Planet: Risperim refuses to take shelter in the protagonists' tent because he wants nothing to do with Outsider technology, but when Mela -who is about ten years old- tells him to come inside before grabbing him and dragging him into the tent, he lets himself be led around without a fuss. That is the group's first clue that the stubborn, grumpy old Guardian of the Mountains has a soft spot for children. | |

Child of the Storm has a number of characters - good, bad, ugly, and from once upon a time in the west: Joshua in the second book Ghosts of the Past (who's kind, wise, and quite dry-witted) helps talk Harry through a lot of his problems, specifically stating - when Harry notes that he could be doing more important things - that he will never have anything more important to do than comfort a child in pain. Considering who he really is, this is not particularly surprising. However, no character is so much this as the Winter Soldier, of all people. Super-Soldier and master assassin he might be, but even prior to his Heel–Face Turn he holds onto the fact that he Wouldn't Hurt a Child like his life depends on it, performs said Heel–Face Turn to save the life of a teenage girl and ruffles the hair of another little girl who hugged him after he saved her friend. Doctor Strange, too, while not as overtly as the first two; does tend to be considerably nicer and more honest to children than to adults, and generally drop almost all the creepy of his Creepy Good personality around them. Threatening to hurt a child reliably wakes his Papa Wolf tendencies - not something you want to do with someone who considers genocide an acceptable means of keeping up his reputation as The Dreaded and can do horribly inventive things to the soul of a Physical God. The third book, The Phoenix and the Serpent, has its first arc set 40,000 years in the past and heavily features the Princess Sunniva of Asgard, Host of the Phoenix (and future mother of the Indian Trimurti). For all her easygoing Fish out of Water tendencies and relative Immortal Immaturity as a result of being a sheltered 20-something by Asgardian standards, she is outraged to find a 15-year-old half-Asgardian - Harry - Walking the Earth alone, presuming that he has been abandoned. This is bad enough by our standards, as this is in the depths of the Ice Age (though Harry being Harry, he treats it more as a light camping trip). However, as Asgardians live for several thousand years, even though Immortality Begins at Twenty, to her this amounts to the abandonment of someone who is basically little more than a toddler. Worse, this one is a relative of hers, even if she's not clear on exactly how. The narration from her point of view promises the yet unknown parents all kinds of nasty things if the matter has not already been resolved. Later, when she gets friendly with him, she finds out he's been abused - which really wakes her Mama Bear: |

Holden Caulfield, the 17-year-old protagonist from The Catcher in the Rye, loves kids and desperately wants to preserve their innocence and protect them from the world. The title of the book comes from a fantasy Holden has where he's in a rye field with thousands of children playing and he stands near the cliff at the end of the field in order to catch the kids who come too close to the cliff or are in risk of falling off. | |

Aladdin. Right after having risked his life and evaded all the royal guards in order to steal a loaf of bread, he sees a pair of starving orphans. Without a moment's hesitation, he goes over and hands them the loaf, likely the only food he was going to get that day. Then he steps in to defend them from a boorish and arrogant prince about to whip them. These moments establish that even if he is a thief, he really is only doing it to survive and actually has a kind and brave heart. Aladdin: The Series continues to demonstrate that both he and Jasmine have a clear soft spot for, and a protective streak towards children. | |

Rise of the Guardians: Deconstructed with the Guardians. It is their duty to protect and bring happiness to children (which they do), but they all have such busy lifestyles (especially Toothiana and Sandman, who are working every day constantly) that they struggle to relate to children as individuals, as shown when a young girl accidentally ends up in the Easter Bunny's base. Played straighter in regards to Jack. He might be invisible to all children, but he still spends a lot of time around them and, aside from a few moments of Angst, seems to truly like them. |

While protecting soldiers from the Separatists and gathering supplies, Pietro also takes time to collect a few toys for the children, and Hope later convinces a couple of clones to help her protect a Twi'lek child during the mission to Ryloth despite the additional challenge. During Wanda's time on Dathomir, Merrin and her friend Ilyana are the only Nightsisters to be openly accepting of Wanda's presence, culminating in Wanda essentially adopting them after their mothers are killed. When the Avengers "adopt" the infant Mara Jade and Grogu, Mara is soon considered to be essentially Natasha's daughter, while Grogu is defined as "the collective Avengers baby". |

Peter Parker Needs A Hug: While Red Hood is one of Gotham's more hardcore vigilantes, he does NOT tolerate anyone going after kids. He is ready to kill the mugger who tried to stab Peter, and only stopped because the teen asked him not to kill the criminal. Red Hood proceeds to keep tabs on/watch out for the kid for the rest of the fic. Batman adopts kids and teenagers into his family so much that it's an In-Joke in both the Bat Family and the Justice League. So it's no surprise to anyone (except Spidey) when Batman offers to take the teenager in. |

In the No Man's Land novel, he tells Gordon that he won't interfere if he kills Joker, Joker having just shot Sarah, Gordon's wife. However, he also just kidnapped and violently endangered 30-something babies. In that same arc, Poison Ivy also fulfills this trope. She takes over the Gotham City Park but winds up making it a refuge for all the children orphaned in the earthquake. When the police try to force her out and are willing to destroy the whole place if they have to in order to defeat her monstrous plants, she eventually turns herself in without a fight so that one of the children can get urgently needed medical attention. | |

Rolan from Ears for Elves is adored by Donny and many other kids and greatly enjoys talking with any child around (possibly because he can act like a child himself), though some adult elves are prejudiced against him and don't want him near their children. | |

In The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan, Nova Shine gets along really well with the foals of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. Twilight notes how tender the moment is, considering they came here for vastly more anger-inducing reasons. | |

Transmetropolitan: Spider Jerusalem seems to hate children slightly less than he does the rest of humanity. At one of his more annoyed moments, he ends up accosted by a noisy (and overly cheerful) street musician and his son — Spider performs a Groin Attack on the musician and does some rather unpleasant things to his instrument, and then tips the kid with a hundred dollars before storming off. Another time, a little girl has to pawn her teddy bear to pay for her medicine. Spider goes into the shop, buys the bear back, and gives it to her. D'aaaaaawww. | |

In The Good Hunter, Cyril does not see himself as one, but Sasha believes he is this played straight. Yes, he is an Anti-Hero who does not like to be around people, children even less, because they remind him too much of his hardships during the Night of the Hunt. Nevertheless, he is definitely not a Child Hater and treats children with patience rather than contempt. From how some children under Sasha's care have latched onto him, as well as how he takes two sibling orphans to safety, both of whom would become his apprentices later on, Sasha's statement may not be too far from the truth. | |

The Mask: The Mask cares about children because some of them are Trolls like him so anyone harming one will make him go Papa Wolf on them, in one episode while chasing Lonnie The Shark who then dropped a baby The Mask is shocked at what just happened and turns around to save the baby and, in another episode when he was framed for robbing the Little League he starts to think that he might have gone crazy than usual which actually got him worried so he lets himself go to prison because of it but he found out it was Pretorius who did it not him so he freed himself from prison having not to worry now because of it. | |

In L: change the WorLd, L, normally an antisocial loner, spends the last week of his life taking care of two children and trying to create an antidote for the virus one of them carries. Pet the Dog moments abound. | |

Deadpool: Deadpool is usually a Deadpan Snarker and Cloudcuckoolander violent killer. But due to the fact that Deadpool has the mentality of a child, he often gets along well with children. In fact, most of his heartwarming and Pet the Dog moments usually involve children (even though some children may be uncomfortable near him for good reasons). Try to hurt children in his presence, and he'll come after you like a deadly serious violent killer. | |

Transformers: A recurring theme to all Autobots; in most continuities they tend to have kids hanging out with them. Transformers: Animated even had Optimus' team become the caretakers of eight-year-old Sari when her father went missing. | |

Soos of Gravity Falls clearly loves kids; his two best friends are twelve years old (Soos himself is in his twenties), he'd give his life to protect them, and he's outright stated he wants seven children when he gets married. It makes sense that Soos himself has a bit of a childish personality — he loves the local Suck E. Cheese's without a hint of irony, always jumps in when asked to participate in a game or activity that the kids have come up with, and is hooked on video games. | |

The Chronicles of Dorsa: Adessians strongly adore children as part of their culture. Though pirates, Akella and her crew (all Adessians) hold this still. Akella would never harm one, and even the idea outrages her. Her men, who were forced to sire children while shadow infected, become protective at once after they come back to themselves and see their daughters as well without hesitation. | |
