The character who's always fun and games, no matter what tone the story takes. They're not necessarily the same as a comic relief since comedy is not really their point, but rather positivity as a whole. They do have a similar role though, acting as a mood-maker who shields others from feelings of despair or doom and generally prevents the plot from getting overly grim. Of course, if the story does start progressing towards an inevitable darker tone, then it might be necessary for them to take the backseat, leave or even die altogether. Another aspect which often sets them apart from the comic relief is that they're unlikely to be a weak or cowardly side-character, and in fact may be a confident, leading figure that ties all other heroes together (or simply drags them along against their will). Thanks to this "bravery", rarely will they take things seriously, preferring to see the bright side of the dangerous situations they get themselves into. If they do get sad or angry, it definitely won't last long, although powerful enough moments of Break the Cutie may lead them to become a Sad Clown or The Pollyanna instead, which might take some more time to heal (or possibly never). Those characters, just like the comic relief, have a tendency to become divisive, mostly depending on the sort of tone the work primarily focuses on. Beware, however, of trying to make them Darker and Edgier; it never works and only serves to make fans and haters alike angry. See the Big Fun, Genki Girl and Life of the Party for specific examples of this. Contrast with Knight of Cerebus, the character who immediately brings a gloomier tone to an otherwise lighthearted work. |

Who Wants to Be a Superhero? Season 1 had Major Victory, a flamboyant, over-the-top Flying Brick type of character, who was eventually eliminated for not taking heroics seriously enough... oh, and for having once been a male stripper. Season 2 had Hyper-Strike, a hilariously endearing young man who was prone to doing martial arts (and circus) movements at random, not to mention over-the-top acting. |

The emerald-skinned crooner, Lorne (no relation to Greene), on Angel. As often happens in anything tangentially connected with Joss Whedon, the character was deconstructed into an alcoholic, emotionally-repressed mess. How did he leave the series? By firing an execution bullet into an unarmed man (ending a lifetime of ardent pacifism), watching him writhe around and die, and slinking off into the shadows never to return. | |

In The One and Only Ivan, Mack purchases Ruby with the idea that as a baby elephant she'll be exactly this, and since people love baby animals she'll win back the crowds. He even ads her to the billboard with the legend "One Ton of Fun!" However, Ruby's actually traumatized by her recent past and dissatisfied by her circumstances; she's not devoid of fun but doesn't enthusiastically take to performing, and the crowds are actually inclined to pity her. | |

Hiro Nakamura of Heroes was originally written because the creator's wife pointed out that none of the heroes created so far actually enjoyed their powers. Since Heroes has tons of characters, that means loads and loads of "Having powers is AWESOME!" meant to be spread over a dozen or so people ended up condensed into one happy little Japanese man. | |

May and Faust from Guilty Gear both have a little bit of angst revolving around May's Japanese heritage (the Japanese being incredibly rare in the game's setting) and Faust being a reformed Serial Killer, but are both the least serious characters in the series, with May regularly fighting with cartoonish dolphins and constantly pining after Johnny, while Faust is a living, reality-bending cartoon character with an Overdrive where he kanchos his opponent and an Instant Kill where he gives them impromptu plastic surgery. By -STRIVE- however, he drops the act for good. | |

Paranoia has been a darkly humorous game since its inception, though the degree of zaniness tends to vary with the specific GM involved. In the latest version of the game, however, this is codified with the "Zap" game style, which specifically caters to Fun Personified players. | |

Whateley Universe: Chaka really fits this too. She's anti-Wangst, and constantly getting into silly adventures (being attacked by Tigger while trying to go on a date?). In the serious adventures, she's one of the ones constantly throwing out one-liners. Beltane (Kendall Forbes) and Thorn (Bob Rose, not the other Thorn) are in it for the wacky antics. Both have the power of creating and controlling ectoplasm, and both use it mainly for practical jokes. They seem to have a big joke-war going on off-camera now, and innocent bystanders keep getting turned into Pokemon or Easter eggs or things like that. |

Nobody in Homestuck is safe from drama (how can you be when even the main characters have died at least once?), but: Nepeta has the least amount of drama or emotional baggage, and pretty much exists to be fun and goofy while having little impact on the plot. Jade played this role, being fun and bouncy, having game-based fetch modi, and being designed as a Parody Sue. Would engage in wacky antics like fake-fighting her grandfather and dog respectively, mess around with time and space like it was nothing special, and be generally dorkily cute. Then she accidentally brought back her dead and severely traumatised dreamself, started talking to Karkat, and got stalked by Jack Noir. The fun, shall we say, toned down quite a bit. |

Toon: The Cartoon Role-Playing Game is this trope in game form. It's hard to stay serious when your character has just suffered "smacked in the face from a giant ceramic narwhale flying through the car window damage". Exaggerated in some of the supplements, most particularly the Tooniversal Tour Guide and its parodies of other (more serious) RPG genres. | |

In Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, Marle is a dark take on this trope. She constantly wants to have fun and forces the other characters to fight her and each other to this end. Her actions are actually from being mind controlled by Squares; once she's brought back to normal, it's revealed that, as a personification of the Will of the Worlds, she governs fun. | |

Felicia from Dark Stalkers is the only genuinely good character on the entire cast, and this is best reflected with her character design being presented as less muscular and feral after the first game. While every character has their problems and baggage to carry, Felicia just wants to make the world a better place with her singing and dancing. She even opens an orphanage to take care of kids. | |

The Flea from PS238, being a bug-themed metahuman heavily inspired by Ambush Bug, Spider-Man at his most light-hearted and a little of The Tick. The comic has yet to have a situation to make him stop joking around for more than seconds at a time, and he mostly gets (tangentially) involved in the business of more important characters because of It Amused Me. | |

Big Finish Doctor Who often uses Mel like this — the Sixth Doctor's relationship with Peri (and Evelyn) and the Seventh Doctor's relationship with Ace are both extremely complicated. Mel is played by an over-the-top actress who did mostly musicals and Panto, and has a sillier relationship with both her Doctors and Timey-Wimey Ball writing that means her entire character makes no sense at all, so audios featuring her are usually Breather Episodes between grittier storylines featuring Peri or Ace. | |

If you thought Joseph was fun in Stardust Crusaders, he's even better in his youth during Battle Tendency. He spends a good portion of his fights just screwing with his opponents' heads, and outside of battle is just an all-around goofball. | |

Saints Row 2: One of the Saints, token girl Shaundi, fulfills this role. Really Gets Around combined with Cloud Cuckoo Lander combined with a New Age Hippy style set of interests makes her one of the most entertaining characters in the game. This characterization isn't kept in the next game. Johnny Gat takes the form of a Dark Humor styled one. Almost everything he does is either act like a lovable psychopath or do something inhumanly badass. |

Super Mario Bros.: Everyone in the upbeat Mushroom Kingdom is this. The honorable mention goes to Mario, as he is such a cheerful, happy-go-lucky and energetic guy; he manages to see the fun in things, even in dangerous situations where he mostly sees the world as his personal playground as he jumps around happily pulling off all kinds of acrobatic moves while giving off excitable whoops of joy. He spends most of his time throwing the occasional community get-together, whether it's building a life-sized board game and participating in wacky games, sporting events or racing with karts. He is also pretty much game for any activity, no matter how childish they seem. | |

Champions attempts to emulate just about every comic trope there is (even destroying Detroit to make room for their Super City), and this trope is no exception. The most obvious example is Foxbat, an underpowered "super-normal" who seems to know he's living in a comic book and determines to live each cliche to the fullest. (Strangely, he thinks he's in a comic book but has no clue he's a non-player character in a roleplaying game.) Oh, and remember — there is no CLOWN. There was never CLOWN. | |

The second generation of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE has rookie pilot Arisa Gunhale. She's upbeat, irreverent, and competitive, which does a lot to lighten Asemu's dad issues and romance issues, plus the War Is Hell thing. |

His sphere includes both the good and bad aspects of debauchery, hedonism, revelry, and passion. He can most commonly be found trying to tempt mortals into sin using various vices. Additionally, his thousands of realms of Oblivion reform to cater to the needs of whoever visits. | |

For every badass monster in Pokémon, there is at least one other monster that's meant to be just cute or silly or have a "gimmick" to them. They usually end up as Joke Characters or maybe as Lethal Joke Characters if they are lucky. Baby Pokémon are a great example. Perhaps the straightest example is Ludicolo: it's a big pineapple-looking duck thing with a lilypad sombrero that's known for Dance Battling (at least when used by Miror B, who's an example himself). | |

Final Fantasy: Gilgamesh. A Large Ham Boisterous Bruiser with a ridiculous Noh theatre theme, multiple arms and high-top sneakers, he started out as a Goldfish Poop Gang boss in Final Fantasy V but was banished to the Void between universes by the Big Bad. Ever since, he's been popping up for silly cameos in other FF games, often as an Optional Boss or Hidden Character. Bartz Klauser is used as this in Dissidia NT, with a significantly more goofy-looking fighting style based on taking RPG game mechanics and battle animations 1) literally, and 2) into the fighting genre. |

He spends a good portion of his fights just screwing with his opponents' heads, and outside of battle is just an all-around goofball.

In Neither a Bird nor a Plane, it's Deku!, Tskymi, better known as Dark Shadow, is a relentlessly cheerful Fifth-Dimensional Genie. His idea of a Hero costume is a scuba diving outfit with a floatie and immediately celebrates a victory by throwing his owner, Tokoyami, into the air while chanting "And he's a jolly-good rookie!" The fact that he's a Reality Warper means he can pull sorts of hijinks on command, and he has to win by tapping the "bomb" while making a "boop" sound. | |

The title character in Arthur (1981). He's obscenely wealthy by way of inheritance and can afford to have all the fun and drink all the booze he wants, and he is constantly cracking jokes. But his old-money family, his fiance in an Arranged Marriage, and her family aren't having any of it, rendering him a middle-aged Lonely Rich Kid at heart. He finally is spurred on to Character Development and taking life more seriously (though not too much) when he falls in love with a working-class waitress who appreciates his lighthearted qualities, and risks his inheritance to be with her instead of the fiance. | |

The Inklings from Splatoon are an entire society based around this. While there are several who serve as secret agents defending Inkopolis, for the most part, they just want to relax, have fun, stay fresh, look fashionable, and participate in Splatfests. Their sister species, Octolings, are more serious in nature, but aren't entirely above kicking it back and doing the same: the realization that there's more to life than diligent military service is what leads to Octolings defecting from the Octarian military in waves and joining Inkling society on the surface during the events of the second game. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Pinkie Pie is the literal personification (ponyfication?) of the Element of Laughter, which is about as literal as the title of this trope gets. Her solution to every problem is to throw a party, and she won't hesitate to throw a party even if there's no reason to do so. Even in the episodes where she has real character development, she will readily defy reason and reality for the sake of a gag. Justified in that her motivation for almost everything is to make her friends smile — and she considers everyone to be a friend. "Too Many Pinkie Pies" deconstructs this when Pinkie uses a magic pond to create copies of herself to spend time with all of her friends. The copies lack all of Pinkie's traits outside of being Fun Personified and are wholly committed to having fun. Worse, they are so dedicated to having fun that they bother everyone around them. The real Pinkie is driven to tears by her copies' antics. "Weird Al" Yankovic guest-starred on one Season 4 episode as a party planner named Cheese Sandwich. His passions and Pinkie's cause them to butt heads a bit over who could create the greatest party before deciding to work together instead. Spike, although he gets more development beyond the traditional sidekick. |

Doctor Who: Subverted by the Seventh Doctor, who was originally Enforced into this character type as a Lighter and Softer reaction against just how much Bloodier and Gorier the show had got during the Sixth Doctor's run. He spent the first season playing the spoons, doing magic tricks, being a figure of delight and whimsy and battling Camptacular comedy enemies with the loosest continuity yet. After the manic rush of making his first season, both the actor and script editor had the opportunity to think about what they actually wanted to do with him, which resulted in things such as introducing 'comedy' monsters but playing their effects in a dark and serious way (like the Kandyman and the Killer Clowns) and revealing the Doctor's apparent silliness was Obfuscating Stupidity, making Seven one of the most alien, manipulative, and dark Doctors of the lot. When the series got cancelled the Expanded Universe picked him up and used him to codify all of the "Dark Doctor" tropes that the revival series later handled on-screen — like a serious examination of the Omniscient Morality License, Angst? What Angst? and the psychological profile of someone who'd do that much Dirty Business. In the New Adventures books, there's even a line that he doesn't play the spoons any more because he's too busy toppling empires. The Expanded Universe gives us the loopy lady time-traveller Iris Wildthyme, an in-universe parody of the Doctor with a time machine that's smaller on the inside, a happily sexual personality to contrast with the Doctor's Chaste Hero status, a tendency to take on handsome young male companions, and a deadly rivalry with legendarily pathetic-looking monsters the Zarbi. She occasionally crosses over with the Doctor in stories that frequently combine silliness and magic realism. Big Finish Doctor Who often uses Mel like this — the Sixth Doctor's relationship with Peri (and Evelyn) and the Seventh Doctor's relationship with Ace are both extremely complicated. Mel is played by an over-the-top actress who did mostly musicals and Panto, and has a sillier relationship with both her Doctors and Timey-Wimey Ball writing that means her entire character makes no sense at all, so audios featuring her are usually Breather Episodes between grittier storylines featuring Peri or Ace. |

Dragon Ball: At the beginning of the series, Goku was very much this. Since most of the early villains couldn't even harm him, the fights weren't serious and mostly slapstick with Goku goofing off the majority of the time. It also helps that Goku for all his power and cleverness was still a child. This gets downplayed as the series went on since the villains became more dangerous and powerful. By Z, Goku is much more serious, although he still has his silly moments like the time he fought the Ginyu force on Namek, especially in fillers or when he's around Vegeta. Majin Buu is a rare evil example, a godlike being with the mentality of a 5-year-old, He is by far the goofiest villain in the entire series. The fact that he looks like mutated bubblegum and has a beam that can turn people into candy and cookies really highlights this aspect of his personality. Despite all this, he is by far the most dangerous villain in all of the manga and the Z anime, especially his pure, original form. |

Miranda Fallow in Dr. Franklin's Island is this in the 'any kind of positivity' sense. While stranded on a Deserted Island she's always got her eyes open and keeps coming up with plans and games and projects to fill the castaways' time, some of which are immediately useful like making an A-frame hut and collecting supplies. Some are not, like 'the tomorrow game', which is exchanging silly predictions about good things that will happen 'tomorrow'. The situation worsens when they're captured by a Mad Scientist, at which point Miranda starts grasping for even absurd and ridiculous hope to try and stave off despair. She acknowledges the seriousness of the issues at hand and that her hopes are ludicrous, but says that if they're going to die anyway, they don't have to die screaming and terrified. At a certain point her friend Semi goes from relying on Miranda's coping mechanism to finding it delusional, but it's definitely a bad sign when Miranda stops. | |

Ray Palmer from Legends of Tomorrow (post-Season 1, anyway). Almost everyone takes note of his relentlessly positive attitude, his friendliness, his wholesomeness, and the joy he takes in all the Legends' adventures. Even when he's sent to Hell to be tortured by his Arch-Enemy, his sunny disposition ends up winning his torturer over, and they spend their time playing Jenga together instead. | |

BlazBlue: Taokaka is, despite her fearsome face, utterly adorable and possibly the only character without a hint of angst and tragedy. Her voice helps too. Not to mention the extra-strength Ho Yay with "Boobie Lady". Makoto Nanaya seems to fill this role, being a Genki Girl with a cute voice and a propensity to utter completely silly things during a fight such as The Tick's catchphrase "SPOOOON!!" It helps that she happens to be an expy of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. |
