A character often, but not exclusively, female who is physically or mentally ill or weak, or at least small in stature (e.g., a child), who possesses knowledge or insight she should not have. Her insight is often ascribed directly to a "debilitation". She tries to keep her differences to herself, as a consequence of (or in fear of) Cassandra Truth, but they can not help but manifest at the worst possible time, until the climax, at which time they are exactly what are needed. See also: Mysterious Waif, Whoopi Epiphany Speech, Oracular Urchin, Mad Oracle. This is a variant of Creepy Child, and sometimes overlaps with the Squishy Wizard. Contrast Blind Seer, whose archetypal disability seems not to be a hindrance. Compare Cursed with Awesome. |

Eto of Tokyo Ghoul, who is the lost daughter of Kuzen Yoshimura and his human wife, Ukina, as well as one of two regents for the semi-mythical One-Eyed King. Her small body is loaded with more secrets, power and insight than almost anyone else in the series and she's in control of a massive amount of the plot. She also foretells many events and revelations throughout the collection of Tokyo Ghoul works, through her books written with the pen name Sen Takatsuki. | |

Eresh from Suikoden V is a textbook example, complete with superior magical ability yet painfully low defense, face cloaked in shadow, and a staff quite reminiscent of Yuna's. A few of the more enigmatic characters, such as Jeane and Zerase, seem to have past connections with her, hinting that there may be more to this young witch than meets the eye... | |

Aurora from Somnium is a seer, but she's also physically weak. Giselle frequently helps her get around. By the start of the story, her health has become steadily worse to the point where her already-pale skin is turning translucent. Aurora's visions come to her in the form of nightmares, which doesn't help her physical or mental health. | |

Fire Emblem has some: From Jugdral: Julia from Genealogy Of The Holy War has shades of this. Also Sara from Thracia 776: she's small, softspoken, kinda off, and introduces herself to Leif via telling him that she had heard his voice in her dreams. She's also a mix of White Magician Girl and Magical Girl Warrior. From Elibe: Sophia from Binding Blade, because of her prophetic visions. Siblings Nils and Ninian from Blazing Blade also fit this trope due to being able to sense danger among other things. Downplayed with Micaiah from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. She has waif-like qualities, she senses the future, she can heal others by taking on their wounds... and she's also the Jeanne d'Archétype of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, complete with leading La Résistance and being more popular than the king. |

In Nightschool, it's noted that "seers who are still sane are rare." Marina, a pixieish young seer who can't be much older than 13 or so, has to regularly take special medication in order to stay lucid, but her visions get compromised as a side effect. Unfortunately, her employers at the start of the series care more about receiving accurate predictions about the stock market than her mental health. When Marina's teacher finds this out, the employers are rightly curbstomped. | |

Subverted by Zefie, in .hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet. Her "mother" is the Creepy Child/Waif Prophet Aura, who was the MacGuffin for .hack//SIGN. Zefie seems similar at first, but it quickly becomes apparent that she's really sarcastic, mischievous, and outspoken... and occasionally unhesitatingly violent. | |

Billy in Remnants. He has a sort of hyper-aware brain as a result of being awake for all of the five-century, hibernated trip to Mother, a giant, superpowerful spaceship that it is found out he can interface with and control. Point of order: Even before the trip he was odd and (as the book described it) when he slept, his brain didn't shut down. That was the justification for him staying awake while he was a Human Popsicle, actually; it wasn't just a hibernation mishap. |

Aerith in Final Fantasy VII. Sure, she seems to Hear Voices and talks to people who aren't there. Except, she's the Last of the Ancients and has the power to talk to (and listen to, though it doesn't always make sense to her) the Planet itself. Downplayed otherwise because she does not fit the "ill,"note Never faint from vision. "weak,"note She's able to carry herself in battles, and specially if the player exploits her high magic. or "small"note That would be Yuffie, who is the youngest cast member. part of the trope description. During the game itself (even beyond her moment of physical death), she was a durable and strong-willed person. The "Waif" part comes from Flanderization. | |

Gamall of Thief II: The Metal Age, 10-year-old interpreter for the Keepers. Subverted as she herself isn't the prophet: the actual prophet is the old crone Caduca, but when Caduca prophesies, she speaks some ancient, faux-Latin language, and Gamall translates for her. Where Gamall learned the language is unknown. In Thief: Deadly Shadows, she is revealed to be Really 700 Years Old (perhaps explaining why she can speak a dead language) and the game's hidden Big Bad. | |

Genderflipped and subverted by Subaru Sumeragi, during his Tokyo Babylon days. Despite his slight build, Subaru was physically extremely strong, but he gives the impression of weakness sometimes when he over-exerts his spiritual powers. His badassery shows more in X/1999 since he doesn't over-exert himself as much. | |

Homestuck has them pretty much everywhere, being that the main cast are all thirteen years old or the equivalent and that half of them are girls. Everyone with a dreamself on Prospit can use the clouds of Skaia to see glimpses of the future, as first shown with Jade Harley; virtually everyone has lost this ability with the deaths of their dreamselves, Jade being the first to lose it. The Seer Character Class, whose two seen members are both female, has a more comprehensive prophet ability, being able to see the outcome of any possible course and thus discern the correct future path. Terezi Pyrope, the Seer of Mind, is well-versed in this ability; Rose Lalonde, the Seer of Light, never gave herself the opportunity to learn to use or develop it. Finally, two of the trolls — Aradia Megido and Sollux Captor (a male example) — have the ability to hear the voices of the dead, who foreshadow the future for them; Sollux loses it upon being blinded. | |

In Neverwinter Nights 2, you encounter a small child in a village called Ember who prophesies that the entire village will be slaughtered soon. Though everyone else is doomed, the child also tells you he himself will survive if one of your party members offers up his hunting knife. Later, when you've been framed for the destruction of the village, the kid comes in handy at your trial, using both his testimony and his mysterious power of prophecy to make the prosecuting attorney decidedly uncomfortable. A random prophet in Storm of Zehir sees the coming of 4th edition rules. Seriously, the transition was canonically the cause of huge disasters in the Forgotten Realms setting as the magic system shifted. |

Yeul from Final Fantasy XIII-2 is a Seeress of Paddra, a Mysterious Waif existing in all time periods at once thanks to her reincarnation. Every time she sees a change in the future her lifespan is shortened until she eventually dies at a young age. | |

Radar O Reilly is this in M*A*S*H, he is able to hear the incoming helicopters before anyone else can. He is able to predict when he is needed (often turning up at a persons side before his name is even called) and also knows a lot about the other characters (albeit via reading their letters through the envelopes through the ceiling lights and listening through walls with a stethoscope). However, he is often made fun of for his height and is often called 'kid' due to his naivety. He is also a Big Eater. | |

Nerissa from The Underland Chronicles. It's suggested that the deaths of her parents broke her, but her visions certainly don't help; she is always described as looking unwell, faints occasionally, and with a handful of exceptions is never believed. | |

A subtle instance in Tekkonkinkreet: White is exceedingly immature for his age, and only as physically strong as a small 10-year-old can be expected to be. But at the same time, he occasionally shows a nearly supernatural insight and seems very in-tune to Black and the city around them. | |

Watership Down: A nonhuman variant of this character is Fiver, the runt of the litter "seer rabbit", whose visions of Man's encroachment drive the plot in the various adaptations. This is especially played up in the animated TV series, where he spent an episode terrified that his visions actually caused the dangers he predicted. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Jojen Reed is 13, and small and frail for his age. When he was young, he nearly died of greywater fever. While he was near death, he was visited in a dream by a three-eyed crow. The crow gave Jojen the gift of greensight, causing him to experience prophetic dreams known as greendreams. At the age of 7, Bran Stark has a crippling fall that leaves him paralyzed from the waist down. It comes with some Disability Superpowers. Beginning during the coma that follows the accident, Bran begins having strange visions of a three-eyed crow. Jojen becomes friends with Bran, and becomes his mentor in this. Like so many tropes in this story, it's Deconstructed: Bran becomes an enormously powerful warg and greenseer, all while he's still a prepubescent child. He does things like warg into Hodor without comprehending how wrong that is. |

King is particularly fond of mentally challenged or child psychics. In Dreamcatcher, for instance, we meet Douglas, a young mentally challenged boy and avid Scooby-Doo fan. M-O-O-N and that spells Tom Cullen. Laws, yes. Not to mention Mother Abagail herself... |

Tiffa Adil from After War Gundam X is shown numerous times predicting the future and uses this ability to drive the plot at one point. However just as often her (often very bleak) predictions are proven wrong by her Hot-Blooded boyfriend Garrod. The poor girl is also quite Blessed with Suck, as her future-reading powers and empathy come from her being among the very few surviving Newtypes... and are the reason why everyone pursues her. | |

AKIRA has Kiyoko, aka No. 26. She's an Esper with the gift of precognition, and both Colonel Shikishima and her fellow Espers rely on her visions, but she is bedridden and constantly hooked up to life support. This is due to being taken by the Tokyo government as a young girl and subjected to horrible experiments supposed to invoke/research psychic powers, presumably for political/military purposes. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Drusilla, who had been severely damaged by a mob attack that left her physically weak. She regained her strength part-way through the second season and remained somewhat prophetic; but was still completely crazy. In Season 7, Cassie is a high school student who "just knows" that certain things are going to happen, including the time and date of her death. She also has a heart condition that she doesn't know about. |
