Pretty Freeloaders are a common Harem Genre archetype, and occasionally show up in other genres too: They are girls (or sometimes guys), who move in with the protagonist and just stay there, without actually doing anything (or anyone, mostly), or paying for anything. However, unlike many such freeloaders this type usually manages to get away with it by virtue of being sufficiently good looking and sexy. Related to "Friends" Rent Control, as the characters' ability to do this is frequently handwaved as one of the characters having a rich family, the main character won a giant house and commodities in a contest, etc., and the plot point is promptly forgotten for the rest of the series. If this behavior is tolerated or encouraged, it may be due to Favors for the Sexy or Sex for Services. If someone gets sick of them, usually roommates who are Not Distracted by the Sexy and just want them out, it usually turns into The Thing That Would Not Leave. Often overlaps with The Troublemaker. See also the Gold Digger, who may turn into a non-platonic version of this trope once they've got their hooks into a suitably wealthy sugar-daddy/mommy. Related to, but distinct from Beauty Breeds Laziness, which involves a character using their looks to coast through life in general. |

Makoto Sawatari in Kanon starts out as a Pretty Freeloader before becoming a Haremette. A little more justified in her case since she's a girl afflicted with Laser-Guided Amnesia and that's why Akiko took her in. Specially considering that she's not even human to begin with. | |

Note that a part of a GalPol officer paycheck is enough for Seina's family in GXP to afford a Big Fancy House. Even if Seina does the most extreme job in the Galaxy Police (as essentially glorified bait/bounty hunter combo and with his "luck", he has netted more pirates than anyone else), which translates into quite a large income, the Yamadas move out before he starts doing this, and is still just a cadet. | |

Rumisiel and Vashiel are Misfile's male equivalents. Vash, at least, is happy to do housework in thanks for room and board. Rumisiel… is not. Vashiel also gets a job at Dr. Upton's clinic, handling appointment scheduling, since his tendency to get nosebleeds just from mentioning or hearing any gynecological terms is a downright terminal condition. If the poor fellow wasn't immortal, he would probably die of blood loss if he accidentally walked into a Hooters. |

The Rising of the Shield Hero: Motoyasu's party consists solely of women who cheer him on from the sidelines. Justified in that Malty both wants to enjoy the benefits of being in the party and doesn't want anyone to outshine her. As such she used her status and other underhanded methods to quietly drive off everyone except for other parasites like herself, and she only tolerates them because they defer to her. | |

In Bleach, any shinigami stationed for an extended period in the living world ends up freeloading off someone. The most notable is Rukia, who spends months at a time living in Ichigo's closet and later rooms temporarily with his sisters Yuzu and Karin. (Oddly, Renji is called a freeloader, even though he stays with Urahara, who makes him earn his keep with chores.) Meanwhile Rangiku and Hitsugaya stay with Orihime, and Ikkaku and Yumichika stay with Keigo. (Mostly because Keigo's sister Mizuho has a crush on Ikkaku. Or better said, she likes him because she has a thing for bald guys.) | |

In the webcomic Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki, Norse gods Thor, Hermod, and Loki play this role (for certain values of "pretty," anyway) in Yuuki's home. Admittedly, Thor and Hermod are there to prepare Yuuki to be a valkyrie, but Loki hangs around just to spy on Yuuki and act like an all-around pervert. Later in the series, valkyries Otsana and Shebi force their way into a random Japanese guy's house while they search for Yuuki. They do this by alternately invoking Sacred Hospitality and sheer terror (which the gods also used). They make their freeloader status explicit here | |

Sekai No Fushigi: Saya always leaves her friends to pay claiming that she doesn't have any money or that she forgot her wallet. Her friends eventually got sick of it since she doesn't pay them back. When Saya ate at an expensive cafe which she couldn't pay for, she tried to get her friends to pay for her but they refused resulting in the owner calling the cops on her. | |

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes: Pop Step and Knuckleduster just show up at Koichi's place after they stop their first crime together. They ignore all his attempts to remind them that it's his house and they can't just barge in. While they don't sleep there (and they both have their own places), they spend all the rest of their time there, with Pop even putting up a curtain and claiming a good chunk of the square footage as hers. | |

Fate/Harem Antics: As should be expected, given the premise and the use of this trope in canon. After Sakura's house gets blown up during Rider's Summoning Ritual, Rider encourages her to move in with Shirou. Saber, of course, is also living with Shirou since she's his Servant. Rin and her Servant Archer also start spending all their time there once Rin allies with Shirou and Sakura. Ayako and Assassin, while not officially allied, also start hanging out at the house a lot. Kirei (who is secretly the Big Bad) has to deal with the magical Enforcer Bazett (who he tried to murder, but she didn't notice) and her Servant Lancer, as well as Caren (his long-lost daughter who hates him) and her Servant Shielder, all living with him. | |

Tenchi Muyo!'s treatment of the group as this versus a harem fluctuates depending on continuity. Ironically, Kiyone is the only character who is (consistently) embarrassed at being a literal pretty freeloader, as she's initially forced to mooch off the cast after being stranded on Earth with Mihoshi. This was addressed a little in the Spinoff manga. Mihoshi does give part of her paycheck to pay for rent and all the damage she causes. Of course, given that Mihoshi comes from one of the richest families in the known universe, she probably doesn't even notice her paycheck. Note that a part of a GalPol officer paycheck is enough for Seina's family in GXP to afford a Big Fancy House. Even if Seina does the most extreme job in the Galaxy Police (as essentially glorified bait/bounty hunter combo and with his "luck", he has netted more pirates than anyone else), which translates into quite a large income, the Yamadas move out before he starts doing this, and is still just a cadet. In the OVA continuity, especially later on, when it moved from its original Rule of Funny-driven action comedy premise into a more straightforward Space Opera setting, it was implied that all Earth!Masakis' financial problems, whether real or imaginary, are little more than Masquerade, as their family is actually much richer than the Kuramitsu clan. They are, after all, members of the Jurai royal family...and nowhere near as isolated from Jurai as they let on. However, Tenchi quit attending school and started farming for carrots for feeding Ryouki. That at least showed that they have had issues regarding fuel or spaceships... |

Inverted in Air Gear, where the main character Itsuki/Ikki is the one freeloading from his childhood friends, the beautiful and quite badass Noyamano sisters. (With one of them being his Unlucky Childhood Friend Ringo though she may not be that unlucky now in the manga.) They make him "pay" via pretty much having him as their busboy. | |

The entire cast of Happy Lesson, who tend to annoy Chitose at the worst possible times, and were once kicked out of his house as a result. This makes the pseudo-Last Minute Hook Up plotline involving one of the teachers all the more unusual. The freeloader part may be subverted, considering all the mothers are full-time teachers or a nurse. It's implied they pay the food bill, since they once ask how much Hazuki spends on eating. | |

Zigzagged in Nyaruko: Crawling with Love! with Nyarko, Cuuko, and Hasta insinuating themselves into the Yasaka household. All three of them have steady jobs (Nyarko's apparently pays well enough that she can splurge on Otaku goods), but for the most part they just go to high school with Mahiro and laze about the house all day. On occasion they'll offer to help out (Nyarko moreso than the others), but since her cooking is almost always iffy and their idea of cleaning house only makes it messier, it's probably better that they don't. | |

The Big Bang Theory: Penny is a relatively mild version of this. She doesn't live with the guys, but she eats their food whenever they get takeout (most nights) and uses their wi-fi since she refuses to pay for her own. This is lampshaded many times: Sheldon complains about it and frequently changes the wi-fi password ("Penny already eats our food; she can pay for Wi-Fi. No spaces."), only for Leonard to promptly inform her of the change. Sheldon even changes the wi-fi password to "Penny is a freeloader" and Penny accepts it without seeming to care. Howard and Raj wonder why Leonard allows her to do this, even when they're not dating. That said, a number of times she does take their criticism to heart and tries to give a token meal or gift to the guys for their generosity. Sheldon lampshades it in "The Earworm Reverberation" while recording his messages to his future self: Katie from the unaired pilot was shown running out to parties in the middle of the night and coming back completely hammered. She even went as far as saying that the apartment was the only place she could stay rent free without having to sleep with anyone. |

Subverted with the title character of Melody when she crashes at the protagonist's apartment. While the stay ramps up the sexual tension between the two, Melody only stays at his place for one night before going to Sophia's place. However, it can be played straight when Melody gets to Sophia’s house. At one point, Sophia starts coming on to Melody, and the player will have a choice of whether to stop it or let it go on. | |

Rai the main character of Code Geass: Colorless Memories though a Downplayed example. Like Lelouch and Nunnally, Rai is staying in the school clubhouse thanks to Milly being one of the Ashford's and thus having a lot of pull at the school. Rai at least feels guilt about this (despite Milly's assurances) and helps out at the student council regularly to make up for it. | |

Monster Musume: Initially played straight, but the girls gradually realize that they couldn't rely on Kimihito all the time and have to take care of themselves. As of Chapter 43, with the exceptions of Papi and Suu, who are too mentally immature to hold a job (not to mention that Suu, as a slime girl, is an open secret and not actually covered by the interspecies exchange program), and Lala, all of the girls living at Kimihito's house have a job, are actively seeking one, or have personal wealth to make it up; even Rachnera, who gets frequent requests for her silk from various laboratories. | |

Fate Series: Over the course of the three routes of Fate/stay night, the Emiya household sees a wide variety of temporary residents, a large amount of whom were never actually invited: While Taiga doesn't sleep at Shirou's house, she does spend a lot of time and take all her meals there, leading Shirou to think of her like this. She's a subversion, however: The house actually belongs to a Yakuza clan that lets Shirou live there to repay HUGE favors that his father Kiritsugu did for them... and the leader of the clan happens to be Taiga's grandfather. So in a way, Shirou's house is technically Taiga's to begin with. Played hilariously with Rin, who has a large home of her own and is implied to be the only resident there. She moves in anyways to help Shirou during the Grail War and ends up staying. She even offers a totally made-up line to Taiga about her place being renovated and thus she can't stay there, to gain her approval. Sakura started to hang out at Shirou's house and help out with chores when she was in middle school by virtue of being Shinji's little sister. Justified, as it later turns out she's being abused at the Matou household and being with her crush makes her feel safer and happier. The biggest freeloader and least welcome guest, Illya, wins Taiga over effortlessly, then later does the same to Taiga's mobster father so completely that he'll shelter her over his own daughter.That Illya is actually Shirou's elder adoptive sister (he's the adopted one, she's Kiritsugu's biological daughter) justifies her "freeloading" at what is also by all rights her home. Today's Menu for the Emiya Family has the "Emiya Family" consist of about two-thirds of the Fate/stay night cast, even though only three of those people are technically a part of the Emiya family. None of them do much except stay at his house and eat Shirou's food. Fate/hollow ataraxia: The only one actually called a freeloader is Saber, who, admittedly, doesn't do much but eat. At the very end, Bazett likewise invites herself in. |

Justified in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War. Hayasaka becomes a NEET after graduation as having worked for the Shinomiya family ever since she was seven has left her with a strong desire to just relax, helped by the fact that her decade of service left her with a sizable savings to draw from. She alternates her time between traveling the world and lazing about at Fujiwara's apartment (she was originally staying with Kaguya, but was kicked out after only three days). | |

In Under Night In-Birth, Hyde ends up with Linne and Vatista living in his apartment. Obviously neither of them are gainfully employed, but at least like that he can keep an eye on them, which is why this arrangement was his suggestion. Unfortunately, Linne is nearly always accompanied by her hulking bodyguard Waldstein, who eats all of his food. | |

In Steven Universe, after kicking Marty out of his van and going back to Rose, Greg Universe, then a Long-Haired Pretty Boy rock star in his early 20s, was left jobless and moneyless. Meaning he tended to eat out of the trash, play his guitar for change, and freeload off Vidalia (a one-night stand of Marty's whom he quickly befriended). He eventually realized what he was doing, so he got a job at "It's a Wash", a car wash that he now owns in the present day. That said, he still lives out of his van, not seeing the point in owning his own place since Steven doesn't live with him. | |

Anna from Shaman King, who takes advantage of her engagement to Yoh in order to do nothing that hasn't been paid for by someone else, usually Yoh or Manta. In the dubbed version of Trey (Horohoro)'s intro episode, she actually tells him "No freeloaders". In Anna's defense she not only is Yoh's girlfriend but she considers the Training from Hell menus she organizes for him (and making sure that he follows them) as payment — and since Yoh does become stronger, she's right. | |

The squirrel girls from Sequential Art, who are useless at best and destructive at worst, having nearly got the main cast killed on two occasions. Strangely, they are in fact capable of amazing technical feats, which they could make lots of money off of were it not for their lack of common sense. It doesn't help that three of them are agoraphobic, and due to their Hive Mind they can barely even function individually. | |

After he refuses to take over, Haruka steps up and informs her that she'll have to come up with the money before the next month is up, or else she'll be evicted. Similarly, she has to face the consequences of this in An Alternate Keitaro Urashima. |

In Devil May Cry, Trish and Lady often loiter around the Devil May Cry office a lot. Most of it is for business reasons since they're Dante's demon-hunting partners, but they do have the habit of lazing around there for no reason as well, often mooching off his pizza and other resources, or making him pay their shopping bills. Granted, they're strictly Platonic Life-Partners with him, and all three are fine trading all the snark in the world with each other. | |

Code Geass: C.C. showed up at Lelouch's house (after he thought she was killed) and quickly settled in, taking his bed for her own ("A gentleman would sleep on the floor") and ordering pizza on his dime. As she points out, this kind of has to happen, since she's a fugitive from Britannia, and they're partners thanks to his Geass contract, but that doesn't exactly cheer him up. At the very least, she helps take care of Nunnally, Lelouch's blind and parapalegic younger sister. To complicate this, Lelouch and Nunnally were in some sense freeloading off the Ashfords, who let them stay there. Surely Lelouch's gambling was not the only thing paying for all the food that he, Nunnally, and C.C. ate. (An audio drama suggests that Lord Ashford's motives for taking Lelouch and Nunnally in were not selfless.) The Ashfords even sent one of their maids (formerly Milly's) to help take care of Nunnally. |

Aisha and Suzuka from Outlaw Star. Technically, they're not freeloading as Aisha takes menial jobs to pay her way and both usually end up working the same job as Gene (he's too afraid of Suzuka to actually charge her rent). They're more like unusual roommates. Also, they do occupy useful positions in Grappler One/Outlaw Star's crew, so they definitely earn their keep. | |

Harley destroys 9 televisions in two weeks and smashes so many of coffee tables that Ivy even accepts that at some point it's her fault for still putting them out. When Harley finally starts bringing in cash from heists, she still manages to get Ivy evicted when the Shark Man member of her crew triggers the no pets clause on Ivy's lease. | |

Reborn! (2004): Tsuna has this problem. Reborn, Bianchi, I-Pin, and Lambo tended to be the more permanent moochers in his house (at least in the first half). However, Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Haru also fit this trope every now and then, at certain points in the story. (And even though Gokudera and Yamamoto are supposed to have the job of protecting Tsuna, Tsuna has shown numerous times that he doesn't actually need their protection all that much). On the other hand, Sayoko's scheme does pay off in the end, so it's not really fruitless mooching. And Satoru definitely gets his money worth in other departments. |

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Kanna never contributes to Kobayashi's household, though it's justified by the fact that she's a young child who wouldn't be able to legally hold a job. Her father does offer Kobayashi financial compensation for looking after her when he first shows up, but its unknown if that ever came to pass. Discussed when Lucoa moves in with Shouta and Tohru points out that she can't just stay there for free. Lucoa does offer several gifts (up to and including sexual favors) but Shouta turns them all down. She eventually gets a job in her spin-off, working as the new nurse at Shouta's elementary school. Ilulu initially just kind of hangs out at Kobayashi's apartment following her Heel–Face Turn, but after a while Tohru forces her to get a job and she starts working part-time at a candy store. Fanfir is never mentioned to be paying Takiya any sort of rent, though it wouldn't be out of reason to assume that he's giving him funds from his Dragon Hoard. |

Over the course of the three routes of Fate/stay night, the Emiya household sees a wide variety of temporary residents, a large amount of whom were never actually invited: While Taiga doesn't sleep at Shirou's house, she does spend a lot of time and take all her meals there, leading Shirou to think of her like this. She's a subversion, however: The house actually belongs to a Yakuza clan that lets Shirou live there to repay HUGE favors that his father Kiritsugu did for them... and the leader of the clan happens to be Taiga's grandfather. So in a way, Shirou's house is technically Taiga's to begin with. Played hilariously with Rin, who has a large home of her own and is implied to be the only resident there. She moves in anyways to help Shirou during the Grail War and ends up staying. She even offers a totally made-up line to Taiga about her place being renovated and thus she can't stay there, to gain her approval. Sakura started to hang out at Shirou's house and help out with chores when she was in middle school by virtue of being Shinji's little sister. Justified, as it later turns out she's being abused at the Matou household and being with her crush makes her feel safer and happier. The biggest freeloader and least welcome guest, Illya, wins Taiga over effortlessly, then later does the same to Taiga's mobster father so completely that he'll shelter her over his own daughter.That Illya is actually Shirou's elder adoptive sister (he's the adopted one, she's Kiritsugu's biological daughter) justifies her "freeloading" at what is also by all rights her home. Today's Menu for the Emiya Family has the "Emiya Family" consist of about two-thirds of the Fate/stay night cast, even though only three of those people are technically a part of the Emiya family. None of them do much except stay at his house and eat Shirou's food. |

MoniRobo: When Mika moved in with her sister Fumika, she began to leech of her and refused to get a job and kept accusing Fumika of not having a job despite the fact that she pays for everything. Mika sold Fumika's stuff and kicked her out of the house when her new boyfriend moved in. This came back to bite her in the butt when she received a lease notice that requires her to pay a lot of money. Kanae always left her other mom friends to pay the bill with the excuse that she pays electronically and doesn't carry any cash with her. When they try to get her to pay electronically, she claimed she has no money. |

High School D×D starts straightforward, then plays with this a bit. At first, it's just Asia living in the Hyoudou house's spare room — it was this or homelessness, and Issei and his parents were hardly going to kick her out. Then Rias moves in as well, and she could very easily pay her own way. Then when the rest of the harem moves in, it gets completely flipped and averted in one move — the house is renovated into a palatial mansion overnight, and it's all but outright stated that Rias is footing the bills now. She tolerates Issei's parents, since she treats them as future in-laws anyway (and they could be paying doctored bills without noticing), almost all the rest of the residents are members of her Peerage and do Devil work for her, and the one exception is effectively a VIP diplomat. Later the house acquires two more straight examples: Le Fey, who lives unobtrusively in a room in the basement, and Kuroka, who's been after Issei's genes from day one and so just offers to make her cohabitation less innocent whenever rent is mentioned. They can be considered to be contributing (somewhat) in their own way in the later volumes. Kuroka is helping Koneko and Gasper train. Her training helped Koneko unlock Shirone Mode thus increasing Team Rias' firepower. Le Fey on the other hand becomes Issei's magician contractor, so she may likely contribute in the future. |

Fantasy Life: After deciding she wants to stay in Reveria permanently, Yuelia ends up just living with the player and hanging around her usual spot in butterfly form. Since an important gameplay mechanic is tied to her and finishing the story unlocks her true form as one of the more useful combat allies, it's best to not think too much of the contradiction between the situation and one of the game's messages(e.g. "getting a job is one of the most wonderful things you can do."). | |

In My Bride is a Mermaid, San, Maki, and Lunar all end up living in Nagasumi's house. In San's case it's justified, as she and Nagasumi are engaged, but Maki and Lunar just sort of moved in on their own. Maki tries to justify herself as being Sun's bodyguard, and she's often shown waking up Nagasume every morning by trying to kill him. (She is an assassin after all). Lunar moved in just so she can keep watch over her newly self-appointed man-servant. It is subverted later on, when Sun and Lunar's fathers (who are yakuza bosses) pay for the damage that they and their daughters cause to the house. | |

Heaven's Lost Property : Justified, because angeloids were designed to only follow a master's orders and cannot provide for theselves. The protagonist complains many times on how this is hurting his finances. Now he can't even afford to buy a DVD. Later, Astraea turning out to be a Big Eater doesn't help (He and Nymph are reluctant in accepting her staying at their house). This leads to a new medical angeloid, Oregano, being given away to a rich Yakuza Princess (and being used as a weapon, only Played for Laughs). Later, the protagonist ends up trying to kick all of the angeloids out of his house in a comedy scene. Subverted Trope: in a spin-off manga, Ikaros is seen working as a waitress. | |

Go Get a Roomie!: The titular Roomie is this, it's even how she got her nickname. Though unlike most versions of this trope she does pitch in by doing things like housework and cooking. | |

Robin from How I Met Your Mother has apparently never paid for coffee, food or rent in New York until she got engaged. | |

Nagasarete Airantou gender-inverts this, with The Hero Ikuto living under the same roof as the female lead Suzu. Neither of them, however, is willing to capitalize on the situation (even under the urging of Suzu's great-grandmother), seeing as Suzu is an Innocent Fanservice Girl that is very Oblivious to Love and Ikuto is a Celibate Hero. | |

Primarily subverted in Sekirei. Minato's harem are expected to earn their keep, as Miya makes it clear that those that don't contribute won't eat. Hikari and Hibiki likewise earn their keep, working a variety of odd jobs to (barely) survive. Shiina takes up a domestic role, cooking and cleaning for Yukari. On the other hand, Mikogami's army of Sekirei play it absolutely straight, living off his parents' wealth and hanging around his Big Fancy House. | |

Fate/hollow ataraxia: The only one actually called a freeloader is Saber, who, admittedly, doesn't do much but eat. At the very end, Bazett likewise invites herself in. |

In Is This A Zombie?, Ayumu Aikawa is forced to house and feed Necromancer Eucliwood, Magical Garment Girl Haruna, and Seraphim, a Vampire Ninja. Hilarity Ensues. Although they do help out in the house later except Eucliwood. Averted with Maelstrom, who doesn't live with Ayumu despite being married to him. | |
