Usually female, small and fey in a disturbing way, the Oracular Urchin knows more about the future—or the present—than she really should. Sometimes her mysterious comments are clear, but usually they just confuse matters until everything's over, and maybe not even then. When things come to a head, the Oracular Urchin may be the one who explains Everything (either explicitly or by implication) to the hero — and, to the audience.
Related to the Waif Prophet, but the Oracular Urchin is not usually ill or weak in any way — just ... different, strangely informed and, usually, very oddly plugged-in. Once you have enough background to parse what they say.
See also Fainting Seer, Mad Oracle, and Mysterious Waif. If no one believes her, she's The Cassandra.

Worm: Lisa "Tattletale" Wilborn, whose power is more of a super-accurate Sherlock Scan than anything actually precognitive, and frequently leads to her knowing things about people that they'd rather stayed private... And sometimes things Lisa didn't want to know either.

Maria Ushiromiya from Umineko: When They Cry is an unerringly Cheerful Child, with a childlike, yet strangely accurate belief in the Golden Witch, Beatrice. As things get worse, she turns into a Creepy Child. She is actually friends with Beatrice, whose true identity is Sayo Yasuda, a servant who is also the true identity of Shannon and Kanon. It's eventually subverted since it turns out that Maria doesn't actually know as much about the true nature of the murders as she seems to; while Sayo had told Maria about her plan to "open the door to the Golden Land", Maria is too naive to realize that this is a Deadly Euphemism for blowing up the island and everyone on it.

Heroes also has Molly Walker, whose power is to know where a person is by concentrating on him/her, and for some reason she feels the need to be all cryptic about it. She returns as a Waif Prophet later in the season (her illness must be cured before she can use her powers again.)

The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray: When Devil-Boy Jack first appears he's described as a ten year old beggar whose eyes are sewn shut. For the rest of the book, he predicts the future, knows things nobody else does (usually because there's no way they can) and remains as unnervingly deadpan as ever during the end mission, even though he knows that several people in his party will die (he also knows who it will be, when and how). We never find out where he came from, why he was blinded in such a gruesome way, or indeed, anything about his background or personal life. He's very creepy, but a valuable asset to the protagonists.

The Dresden Files has the Archive. She's usually not particularly cryptic, but she knows everything that's ever been written down (at least since the position was created possibly around 580-570 BCE starting with Pythia). Omniscience of anything recorded isn't the whole of her powers — while the Archive is usually an an adult, the current one's circumstances result in something a step (possibly a very small step) down from a prepubescent goddess.

Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion is a borderline Oracular Urchin — she is fey and clearly knows far more of what's going on than most of the other characters, but she provides no revelations to anyone — including, for a long time, the audience.

There's an unnamed Oracular Urchin in two episodes of the second series of Torchwood — in "Dead Man Walking", she tells Jack where to find the Resurrection Gauntlet's mate and cautions him against using it with a surprisingly literal Tarot reading, and in the series-of-flashbacks-episode "Fragments", it's revealed how Jack met her and found out that eventually he would meet the Doctor, but not for another hundred years.

Yashiro Hoshimiya fills this role in Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl. At first she appears to be an obnoxious girl obsessed with space like the titular character Erio Touwa, and she constantly berates Makoto Niwa for having caused her to stop believing in alien activity. Then at the end of episode 13, after telling Makoto to move slightly, a meteor lands right in the spot where he was standing just moments earlier, causing him to wonder if she really was an alien or not.

Trenia from Makai Kingdom is one of these, although at first glance she appears to be an extremely ditzy Cloudcuckoolander. She even goes as far as telling Pram (an actual oracle) that there are things about the Netherworld even she isn't supposed to know. Pram would probably qualify, too, aside from being Really 700 Years Old and a Deadpan Snarker.
Pram was only faking being an oracle by sneaking looks at the Sacred Tome.
Justified in that Trenia is the Sacred Tome.

Quon Kisaragi and Reika Mishima from RahXephon. Quon tends toward quiet crypticness, but seems to be strangely familiar with Ayato. Because he's her clone/son and her counterpart in tuning the world. Mishima is more active, but still very cryptic, and is very insistent on Ayato becoming one with the Rahxephon. More strangely, she doesn't seem to have a reflection and no one remembers her but Ayato. She's the soul of the Rahxephon personified, Ixtli, and modeled after the girl he loves: the younger Haruka Mishima.

Carim Gracia of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, who has the ability to magically create prophecies for the near future once a year. Unfortunately, the prophecies come in the dead Ancient Belka language, record things at random, and are written in poem form that can be interpreted in many ways, making them rather cryptic once translated into something readable. Carim lampshades how helpful this trope tends to be by saying that her ability is about as useful as a fairly accurate horoscope due to the mentioned factors. Still, both The Church and The Federation treat these prophecies seriously since, hey, they're still glimpses into the future.

In Morgan, Morgan has a bit of a precognitive ability that lets her glean information about people without having spoken to them.

Nephilim from Xenosaga.
This fact makes hardly any sense, considering the fact that Nephilim is really from the past and not the future. Originally from Canada during the era of Lost Jerusalem, Earth, for those who don't know, Nephilim was the first to disappear when the system went haywire during an experiment with the Zohar.
Nephilim is in touch with U-DO, a being from another dimension, and can see many things which the protagonists do not.

Gaunt's Ghosts: In Straight Silver, Gaunt and Beltayr meet with a strange woman in the woods, who says she is Elinor Zaker, a retired Battle Sister, and gives Gaunt intimations of the future — vague, because she explicitly tells him that she can not tell him too much. Gaunt sees her scars and concludes that she suffered brain damage. She also lends him a car, which vanishes after they have gotten where they are going. As do its keys. And they can't find her chapel afterwards. And her name proves to be that of a bionically-augmented warrior who fought in a Crusade in the region for its founder and died in battle 6000 years ago.

In The Secret World, the Dragon are under the grace of 'The Child', a very young prophet who rarely speaks to anyone. The one person he does speak to, who relays his statements and intent for the good of the clan, is the "Voice of the Dragon", and eventually, when she screws up terribly, she's mind-wiped and replaced.

My-HiME's Nagi Homura. He's barely older than even the youngest of the HiME, and yet he knows far more about the Orphans than any of them do. While he prefers to sit on the sidelines in the anime, mangaverse Nagi takes it a step further, actively opposing the HiME and positioning himself as a secondhand villain.
It's implied though that while Nagi looks young he is actually as old as the HiME game itself.

The Quorial, the body of mostly middle-aged and older leaders among the Servants of Saint Camber, curiously includes Rhidian, a woman "who looked to be barely into puberty," yet provides a psychic shield for the whole Quorial, preventing Kelson from reading their minds. It is she who speaks for the Quorial to inform Kelson of their decision to offer him a chance to avoid the death penalty for sacrilege by undergoing the cruaidh-dheuchainn, a ritual ordeal which she tells Kelson she has herself undergone. She is said to speak enigmatically and has "a disturbingly direct gaze".

Power Rangers Wild Force had such a child: he couldn't remember who he was but found people and things from the battle 3,000 years ago strangely familiar, and occasionally saved the day with New Powers as the Plot Demands. Turns out he's the spirit of a Humongous Mecha from three thousand years ago and was testing the heroes all along.

In Final Fantasy X, a spiritual Oracular Urchin follows the main character, usually in his dreams, making random appearances to deliver a message, albeit usually not a very useful one, with the exception of the game's revelation. Eventually, he is revealed to be the fayth of the dragon aeon, Bahamut.

In Final Fantasy Tactics, Saint Ajora's claim to fame was, shortly after being born (translation error), he pointed out a well that would spread disease, which it did. He then went on to found a religion. Of course, that was apparently all a lie of the Glabados Church, and Ajora's just this guy, you know? This guy with ambitions of godhood.

The 4400: Maia, who was only eight when she disappeared in 1946, has the ability to see the future. All of her visions come true and there appears to be no way to change things. The best example of this is NTAC's inability to prevent Jordan Collier's murder in "As Fate Would Have It". In "The New World", it is revealed that her ability has grown stronger since going off the promicin inhibitor to the point that she wakes up every morning knowing exactly what is going to happen. Prior to this, her power was restricted to occasional flashes. By "Gone, Part I", she has learned to focus her ability to the point that she can control when she receives visions to a certain extent.

Inheritance Cycle: Elva is just your standard little girl with disturbing eyes, an odd silver mark on her forehead (from a dragon no less), and the ability to sense the pain and how to deal with it of everyone around her for an unspecified distance. It doesn't help that until almost halfway through Brisingr, she can't ignore everyone else's pain and it hurts worse if she tries to not help them.

The magic users in The Dinosaur Lords, especially youthful Aphrodite and way older than she looks Fantastic Anthropologist Karyl meets, are portrayed this way. They seem to know astoundingly much about Karyl, and even while Aphrodite makes an effort to explain herself away, the other woman is simply mysterious.
