Many times, the main character of a story will have met someone early in their life whom they idolize — someone who is well known and revered — and will then grow up wanting to follow in their footsteps. This can be anything, from sportsman to superhero. At first, we don't see any signs that these characters are particularly skilled in their craft. In fact, often times they are quite bad at it. To help them on their way, the protagonist's idol will step in and personally endorse the character's success, sometimes leaving them with a memento to help them along the way. This can range from being a small token of encouragement to a full-blown Sword of Plot Advancement that grants them an ability they might otherwise lack. Whatever the case, the main character now has the full support of the person they so desired to emulate, and thus their journey can truly begin. Contrast with With This Herring. Compare with Touched by Vorlons and Super Empowering. May overlap with Ancestral Weapon and/or Ascended Fanboy. |

Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Arguably the most direct approach, then up-and-comers King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table are literally blessed by God himself to find the Holy Grail and cement their names in legends. | |

Kung Fu Panda: Slightly averted; Po is personally and solely chosen by Master Oogway to join his idols, the Furious Five, as the new Dragon Warrior, much to the disbelief of his disciples and even Po himself. | |

Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers: Slightly subverted; After being saved by musketeers, Mickey is gifted one of their hats, inspiring him to follow in their footsteps. Years later, Captain Pete chooses Mickey, Donald, and Goofy to become Musketeers and guard Queen Minnie. He doesn't actually think they are capable, and in fact only makes them musketeers in hopes that they will fail. However, Mickey doesn't know this, and so having the captain of the group he idolizes tell him that he has what it takes falls well into this trope. | |

Happens twice in Amazing Fantasy. After gaining spider-powers from a spider bite, Izuku gets flagged down by a universe-displaced Peter Parker, who offers to mentor him. Izuku is initially hesitant and asks for time to think about it because of his own insecurities. After the Prowler incident, All Might decides to catch Izuku on his way home and assures him that he's going to be an amazing Hero before running off. All Might's blessing is what gets Izuku to take up Peter's offer. | |
