A character far too idealistic for their own good.
It may be the Naïve Newcomer who Jumped at the Call — he or she has a huge stack of comic books/movies/bards' tales, and thinks they're pretty Genre Savvy. Unfortunately, their universe is more toward the cynical end of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism than the stories they know. Alternatively, they might just be generally nice people whose idealistic attempts at solving the problems of their world turn out to go horribly horribly awry as no one else plays by their rules. Usually used as nothing more than a device to highlight the realism/grittiness/cynicism of the setting.
This character either becomes a victim of a Trauma Conga Line or a bad Break the Cutie ordeal, dies horribly or acquires a coat of jade post-haste. In settings that are still somewhat idealistic, they might get off with just becoming a Knight in Sour Armor or the Morality Pet to one. In particularly anvilicious cases, expect deployment of Diabolus ex Machina to deal with them.
If the character remains triumphant and idealistic throughout, then it may be a case of Good Is Not Dumb, The Pollyanna, or even Stupid Good. If their idealism drives them to turn evil or ruthless, they become a Well-Intentioned Extremist.
While All Loving Heroes are frequent victims of wide-eyed idealism, their suffering or sacrifice can encourage them to become full-blown Messianic Archetypes and inspire others in the setting to lighten up and thereby change the setting, unless they're a different kind of messiah, in which case the setting is only cemented.
When The Hero appeals to a group of people, often Least Is First falls under this. Someone will likely tell them Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids! and they are just as likely to retort with Silly Rabbit, Cynicism Is for Losers!.
Compare The Idealist, Being Good Sucks, The Pollyanna, the Naïve Everygirl, the Love Freak, and The Ingenue. If there are entire civilizations of Wide-Eyed Idealists waiting to be slaughtered, see also We Have Become Complacent and Sugar Apocalypse. See Turn the Other Cheek and The Farmer and the Viper. Not to be confused with using literal wide eyes to show that a character is idealistic.

Aquaman: King Ricou of the Fisherman kingdom believes war with the surface is not inevitable and that Atlanteans should educate the land-dwellers. Whether this belief was naïve is hard to say, but it was definitely naïve to think Orm would take no for an answer.

Sayaka Miki of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Naturally, the series being what it is, it doesn't end well at all. Madoka is also one of these, although the story seems to jump through hoops to discourage it. She finally gets it to work at the very end, although it takes a Cosmic Retcon to do so.

Zeta from The Zeta Project is naive and kind, always taking people at their word, a terrible judge of character who thinks the best of everyone and generally easily manipulated. It's due to being so young and having no knowledge of the world beforehand, and to be fair, his friends do try to help him get better about this.

X23: Ironically, X-23 has become this despite all the hell she's lived through. In contrast to Wolverine's pragmatic cynicism and willingness to compromise his beliefs, Laura has increasingly become an idealist seeking something noble to aspire to and is much much more uncompromising in her views of right and wrong (such as insisting on helping, rather than killing, Siphon once she discovered he was actually a victim of Paradise despite the extreme danger he presented when hungry and it does eventually end up biting her on the ass). Laura notably went through a mini-Freak Out when she learned that, despite how bad things in her home reality are, the Ultimate Universe is even worse.

Disgaea:
Flonne falls under this trope. She never ceases to be an overoptimistic idealist who believes that demons can love and that Seraph Lamington is a good guy. In the best ending she's absolutely right.
Her Expy, Marona from Phantom Brave definitely fits into this (despite her situation).

Area 88:
In the manga and OVA, Ryoko has very idealistic ideas about love, and seems to think that she is in a romance story instead of a war story. In the manga, even abandonment and heartbreak at the hands of her absentee boyfriend do not dent her idealism.
Rishar Vashtal from the manga also qualifies. He has romantic visions of a democratic Asran and genuinely wants to empower the Asranian people. Mickey, however, warns him that the Asranian people may call for his death after the war.

X-Men: An interesting inversion of the Darker and Edgier creep described above is brought to us by Exodus. A literal Knight Templar who was turned into a Sealed Badass in a Can 800 years ago and revived in the modern-day, Exodus still holds true to the noble values of the knighthood and has no greater ambition than to protect and defend his people, even dressing like a classic Silver Age hero◊. Unfortunately, he also holds to the uncompromising black-and-white thinking of his era, turning him into an Anti-Villain who clashes with the X-Men because he is unable to admit that not all mutants are good and not all humans are bad.

In The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic, Twoflower, if anything, has an even more rose-tinted view of the world, to the endless irritation of his traveling companion Rincewind — and likewise comes to no harm. Admittedly, this is probably because he travels with a Cosmic Plaything, so all of the trouble they run into goes after Rincewind rather than him. After they part ways, he does get thrown in a dungeon to rot for being so wide-eyed, which supports that theory.

Bleach: As a teenager, Ryuuken Ishida was willing to sacrifice his personal dreams and happiness for the chance to save the future of the Quincies. However, flashbacks reveal that Aizen accidentally shatters his idealism; it is implied that a further Trauma Conga Line then occurs between the flashback arc and the main storyline to produce the bitter, hypercritical Dr. Jerk that his son Uryuu thinks he's familiar with.

Virginia Maxwell from Wild ARMs 3 is idealistic to a fault as she heads out into the wasteland in search of justice. Her ideals get torn to shreds pretty early on with near-constant betrayals by Janus Cascade and being constantly berated by Maya Shroedinger. Even her own allies believe she has more heart than sense. However, later in the game she matures her ideals rather than abandoning them so they become more practical but still optimistic.

Fuyutsuki quickly warns her that she is Tempting Fate with that naive attitude.

The Simpsons:
In the early seasons, Lisa Simpson started out as this but as the series progressed, she became a Deadpan Snarker who has as much compassion as a housecat towards her own brother and Homer from time to time.
When Ned Flanders briefly became principal of Springfield Elementary, he eliminated detention and put the school on the honor system. Bart and Skinner had a good laugh about how the teachers were afraid to leave the faculty lounge.

Phil Coulson of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a very idealistic man who believes that people are fundamentally good. His belief in heroes is seen as slightly old-fashioned (his favorite hero being Captain America, who is definitely an idealist), but it's implied that this fundamental faith in human decency is why he's described as Nick Fury's "one good eye" and why Fury is willing to go to such lengths to resurrect him. He's rather like the Token Good Teammate for the rest of SHIELD and, in an interesting example of Playing with a Trope, his idealism seems to be highly valued by the more cynical agents he works for and with.
It's implied that, while he's naturally inclined that way anyway, retaining his idealism is also an intentional strategic choice on Coulson's part. Many of the entities he deals with are either terrified and confused by their new powers or savvy antagonists who have plans within plans to deal with swat teams and superspy tricks. The former find his cheerful "it's OK, your power is cool, think of all the good it could do" attitude comforting, and it puts the latter on the back foot. The simplistic morality involved also puts him in the good graces of the Norse gods, which is a matter of great concern to SHIELD.

In a world that is in effect suffering the final stages of a cancer, Solaire of Dark Souls fame is as cheery and upbeat as they come (and unlike a few others, doesn't try to kill you). Being essentially (as many pointed out) the cooperative type player archetype, he is always nice to you and is eager to help with a boss battle. However, true to the tone, he undergoes a Heroic BSoD at his failings to find his purpose and if steps aren't taken, will be possessed by a Chaos Bug, forcing you to kill one of the nicest characters in a dying, bleak world.

This is occasionally implied to be the case with Batman in the Arkham series, such as one instance in Origins where he encounters a homeless person being harassed by the police and tells him to go to a shelter. The homeless man tells him that the police find them at the shelters, and goes on to say that the teenage villain Anarky, who has a very simplistic worldview, still is able to understand some things about the poor's situation that Batman doesn't.

Naruto actually trends towards the optimistic side of things, but it doesn't shy away from the fact that it takes place in a setting where the major powers have had a long, bloody history of conflict involving, among other things, Ninja Child Soldiers. Case in point: Obito Uchiha, written as a clear analog for our plucky, good-hearted hero Naruto, was squashed by a boulder at the age of 13 and could only pass on his Sharingan eye to his comrade Kakashi before being left to die. He didn't, but things only got worse from there. Obito's idealism took a turn for the worst after he was brought under Madara's wing and witnessed the death of Rin, his best friend and crush, becoming someone who would manipulate, assault, and kill just about anyone to build a world where nobody suffered like he did. It was only after a protracted conflict with Naruto and his allies that he started returning to his old purely idealistic self.

Supergirl: Pre-Crisis Supergirl was an exceptionally innocent, trusting teenager. Her enemies often exploited her naivete and tried to earn her trust or seduce her so they could manipulate her and kill her or her cousin. Eventually she stopped being so gullible, but she kept believing that people are mostly naturally good-hearted. Post-Crisis Supergirl is less innocent (excepting some versions such as Elseworld's Finest: Supergirl & Batgirl Kara who was fooled by Lex Luthor) but she still stands by his ideals and always tries to do the right thing and be a hero, no matter how dark her world is or what bad things happen to her.

Fullmetal Alchemist:
In the manga version, Scar's brother and the Rockbell family are wide-eyed idealists who believe in the basic good nature of man. The Rockbells leave their practice so they can heal the Ishvalans being massacred by the Amestris army, and Scar's brother wants to learn alchemy so that he can better understand the bonds of humanity. During an attack Scar's family is killed, and Scar's brother tries to shield Scar, but is unsuccessful, and Scar loses his arm. Scar's brother sacrifices an arm and his life to save Scar, and Scar wakes up in the Rockbell's hospital. Finding out that his brother's arm is now attached to him causes Scar to go temporarily insane, and he kills the Rockbells in a Freak Out.
Roy Mustang is the other side of the coin. His sometimes borderline dumb faith in human nature helps him sometimes (when he took for granted Dr Knox would cover his scheme to save Maria Ross, because they were war buddies) and other times dooms him (when he believed overthrowing the Fuhrer would be a piece of cake when people found out he was a Homunculus. It turned out the brass knew and couldn't care less). Still, his idealism is precisely what makes his subordinates so loyal to him.
The first anime, on the other hand, makes a point of contrasting Al's childlike optimism and naivete with Ed's growing cynicism and the horrible truths of the world around them.

Medici: Piero de' Medici seems to genuinely not comprehend that the politics and justice of Florence are managed through an elaborate web of bribes, favors, threats, and blackmail, unlike the rest of his family. Never is this clearer than when he speaks in defense of his father, Cosimo, at his trial. Piero spends days researching to find some scrap of evidence to unravel the case against his father, only to have the document he finds dismissed as a forgery.

Brother-Sergeant Thaddeus in Dawn of War II, with most of his older and wiser fellow sergeants pointing out his relative naivete at several points. In the Expansion Pack Chaos Rising, Thaddeus will go rogue if his Corruption level is the highest in the squad — unlike all the other squadmates, who go rogue over Necessarily Evil reasons, Demonic Possession or over bitterness, Thaddeus' corruption is revealed to be over his idealism — he willingly believed the word of a daemon.

Boiler Room: Like Bud Fox before him, Seth is too naïve to realize that JT Marlin is actually a boiler room - it's a "pump and dump" scam, where the share price of fake or nonexistent companies are artificially primed up through bogus statements. Once the operators "dump" their overvalued shares, the share price falls and the investors lose their money. The film revolves entirely around Seth trying to get a legitimate job to impress his father, but this actually endangers his father's career as a federal judge when the feds get wind of it.

Unsurprisingly, idealists don't fare well in Les Misérables.
In a twisted way, Inspector Javert. He might be a snarky hardass, but he has absolute faith in authority and the law, believing that no judge or politician has ever erred, that leaders can all be counted upon to have nothing but the public good in mind, and that whoever has met the harsh punishments of the justice system therefore deserves it. This runs up hard against the story's Morality Kitchen Sink, with fatal results.
Fantine loves Tholomyes and assumes he will care for her and Cosette, only for him to abandon her on a whim. She then trusts the Thenardiers to look after Cosette for her, and they mistreat Cosette and extort an outrageous amount of money from her until she ends up a prostitute and dies from tuberculosis.
Enjolras and the rest of Les Amis de l'ABC start a rebellion, believing that the people of Paris will rise and support them. The support never comes, and they all end up dead.

Arguably, Éclair from Kiddy Grade, who, despite having dealt with the dreadful realities of GOTT and galactic politics for many, many years, has somehow avoided becoming a cynic, and actually keeps up her spirit to fight for her ideals. Granted, this may be due to two things: (1) she does use autohypnotic suggestions to block out some of her memories temporarily, and (2) as a superhero, and with her partner, she does in fact have the ability to back up those ideals with force.

Kana Rua from Pillars of Eternity. Most party members are world-weary, scarred sorts with various traumas. Kana Rua is a young idealist on a quest for a lost tablet written by a great scholar, hoping to find it and end his people's xenophobic age by proving the world is more united than they thought. Depending on how the game goes, this idealism can either end up shattered or be tempered and strengthened.

Trigun:
Vash The Stampede is determined to be one. No matter what he sees, what humans or Knives or anybody do, to him or anyone. His traumas are simultaneously cases of Break the Cutie and Break the Badass and are usually horrific. Worse in the manga, where he is clearly fighting to maintain his idealism over his own common sense and has a lot more bleak moments. The setting is also much darker since the series went seinen after the Fifth Moon. But he always stands up again. Because he won't give up on humanity and by extension Rem. And on himself. After all, if he gives up on people then what does he have to resist Knives' Hannibal Lectures with, and what have all these years meant? Therefore, Technical Pacifist willing to Turn the Other Cheek to a sometimes absurd degree. Vash is helped by his own awesomeness; when Knives and his subordinates aren't involved he can usually pull a casualty-free resolution out of the worst situations imaginable. Sure, this has meant horrific scars all over his body, but it gives him all kinds of warm fuzzies and hope. He wants Wolfwood to see this. Wolfwood wants him to see that most people are only human and you can't save everybody all the time.
Know who's the Trigun poster child for this trope? Manga Knives. He was all "our hearts are the same as people's, I'm sure if we try we can understand one another," and actually cried when the first human they met besides Rem accepted them. Then he Went Mad From The Revelation that Humans Are Bastards, and resolved to kill them all.
Meryl is a little naive but never an idealist. Millie is... strange. Maybe a wide-eyed idealist. Maybe just terminally clueless. Actually very sharp under it all, and very tough. Anime Millie is Wolfwood's other foil, and they become a couple. One of Wolfwood's Character Development soliloquies involves the frustrated observation that Millie and Vash always "do everything I can't, like it's no big deal."

Scrubs:
Dr. Molly Clock. Subverted, however, in that her incorrigible optimism is undaunted in the face of the naked cynicism of Dr. Cox and Dr. Kelso, and even allows her to triumph against them.
J.D. himself might fit too, at least at the beginning.
And then there's the one-episode character from season one (played by Sean Hayes), who is eternally optimistic about the chances of a little boy in his care until finally he suffers a Heroic BSoD as he realizes nothing he's tried is working and the kid is going to die.

Attack on Titan:
Every military recruit that hasn't been mentally broken by encountering a Titan yet and expects good things after training. Some examples stand out, especially Eren, Marco, and Marlo, who are prime examples of soldiers wanting to enter the Survey Corps (Eren) and Military Police Brigade (Marco and Marlo) for the right reasons. Everyone gets a quick dose of the reality that battle with Titans is, though.
Some civilians can be like this, too. Eren sees a young brother and sister admiring the Survey Corps and thinking how awesome they are, just like he did only 5 years ago with his own sister. He can only look away and try not to cry the same way Erwin looked away in shame last time.

Albert from Gankutsuou, along with having Horrible Judge of Character. He is undoubtedly the most naive and idealistic of all the characters in that series. He truly believed for a long time that his friends' (and his own) families were perfectly rosy and that the Count is a wonderful person. (He was very wrong, by the way - they were all insanely messed up.) Not to mention how he manages to go on about "true love". However, despite all hardships he goes through, Albert ends up taking route A and becomes a better person who not only saves the Count's soul from Gankutsuou but also fixes his father's wrongs by becoming an envoy of peace.

Don Quixote severely deconstructs this trope: In the first part, Don Quixote cares more for fulfilling his fantasies than for anyone else. He is confident that the farmer Haduldo will stop flogging the boy Andrés and that the Galley slaves he liberates will be grateful enough to do him a favor. (They're not.) His actions make him the original Lord Error-Prone. In the second part, it goes From Bad to Worse: Don Quixote really acts For Happiness and after some adventures that convince him he is a real Knight Errant he must face the sad fact that he has not helped anyone and therefore, all those Chivalric Romance tropes were Blatant Lies. This is so heartbreaking that he becomes Bored with Insanity and dies. Being called "Quixotic" is not always a good thing.

Supernatural:
Sam Winchester used to be this, especially in the first season. This was a contrast to Dean's cynicism. It doesn't last long though and any last remnants of it are crushed forever after Dean's Deal with the Devil.
Despite trying to act like a badass, Jo Harvelle starts out with very naive misconceptions about hunting because of drunk hunters making stuff up to try to impress her, which Dean calls her on. By the end of her first hunt in "No Exit", she's considerably shaken up and admits to Sam that it wasn't how she thought it'd be, but still thinks it's worth it because they saved someone's life. Eric Kripke described her as an enthusiastic, innocent girl who takes a "girl-next-door" approach to hunting.
The angel Samandriel still believes after all the damage Castiel caused that he was only trying to make things better.
Castiel, for all his badassery in Season 4, is this. He believes in Heaven's mission completely and follows orders without question. Even after he begins to question his orders and rebels, he maintains that the solution to the Winchesters' problems is to find God. He is completely devastated when he finds out God is aware of the situation and doesn't care.
Jimmy Novak, Castiel's vessel, was a man of faith who believed that Castiel choosing him as a vessel was a noble cause. This makes his eventual fate far more tragic.
Man of Letters Peter Jenkins wants to play a role in fighting evil without yet understanding what that may mean.
Chuck reveals that he used to be like this. Even when he was with his sister, Amara, he chose to create life because he wanted to show her something beautiful, something that could make her believe in something besides destruction. It didn't work. Chuck even calls himself stupid and naive for even trying. It probably was the root cause for his Face–Heel Turn as he grew apathetic for his creations slowly.

Discworld:
Dangerous Beans in the book The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, who finds his dreams of a rat utopia all but dashed, and learns that on Discworld, you have to Earn Your Happy Ending.
Subverted by Carrot Ironfoundersson. He starts out as a wide-eyed idealist... except that for some reason, his idealism somehow works. He can talk anyone into behaving like a friendly, reasonable person. If any other character tried it, they'd be dead. It works because he's big, strong, usually accompanied by city watchmen (including a troll and later a golem) and, most important of all, is fairly intelligent. Carrot is an actual idealist, rather than just naive like most of the examples here; he knows full well that Humans Are Bastards and simply refuses to be one himself. Also, the world does tend to warp itself around him. After all, he may or may not be the heir to the throne of Ankh-Morpork, and in a world chock full of narrativium, how can things not go his way.
In The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic, Twoflower, if anything, has an even more rose-tinted view of the world, to the endless irritation of his traveling companion Rincewind — and likewise comes to no harm. Admittedly, this is probably because he travels with a Cosmic Plaything, so all of the trouble they run into goes after Rincewind rather than him. After they part ways, he does get thrown in a dungeon to rot for being so wide-eyed, which supports that theory.
Reg Shoe is another Morporkian Wide-Eyed Idealist. In his case, he actually was killed as a result, as shown in Night Watch (Discworld), but that hasn't dampened his enthusiasm any.

Anduin Wrynn from World of Warcraft displays the qualities associated with this trope. Despite the chaos in his past and his father's stubborn vehemence toward the Horde, Anduin firmly maintains that "both [his] people, and the Horde, are essentially good." His benevolence toward both the Alliance and the Horde is unchanged even by his near-death at the hands of Garrosh Hellscream, the present Warchief of the Horde at the time. It is even implied during a vision from the draenei prophet Velen that Anduin may lead the forces of Light during the final battle against the Burning Legion, placing him in direct contrast with Sargeras, who views the denizens of Azeroth- the Alliance and the Horde by extension- as corruptible and impure.

Dreamscape: Dylan is always willing to see the good in people, no matter what they may be like on the outside. Although just as so, those people are usually straight-up evil and he'll have to fight them.

Supergirl: In season 4, Lena is absolutely convinced that the only reason people are racist against aliens is that aliens have superpowers and humans don't, and that if she gives humans powers it will avert a civil war. Multiple people point out that it will just result in evil people getting a hold of those powers, no matter how careful she is, and make everything worse.

Homestuck:
Play with in John Egbert. He's a wildly idealistic kid playing a game that's already destroyed the Earth and rendering it more or less uninhabitable, and being constantly accosted by literal Trolls who continue to call out the fact that the kids fail to win the game and nothing they do will change that. This doesn't seem to deter John in the slightest.
Then there's Jake English, who considers Erisolsprite, a vile-tempered Jerkass of the first order, to be a "friendly guide" despite the sprite in question emphasising how much he hates Jake in every other sentence.

A.W. Merrick and Reverend Smith of Deadwood. Since they both live in Deadwood this doesn't work out too well for either of them. Reverend Smith's religious faith is seriously undermined when he develops a fatal brain tumor and must question the purpose of his suffering. Merrick gets off easier, he's able to hang on to his worldview for most of the series but has to toughen up to deal with what life keeps throwing at him.

Undertale: This is the real reason why Undyne won't let Papyrus join the Royal Guard. He's surprisingly strong, but he's so kind and innocent, and so dead-set in his belief that everyone can be a great person, and everyone is a potential best friend, that she knows he could never hurt another person. You get to see the full depths of his idealism in a Genocide run. After witnessing your horrific behavior, Papyrus offers to just let you go without fighting, no strings attached, because he believes that with a bit of guidance from a good friend like him, you can be a good person again. Should you take him up on it, he's delighted and relieved and says you're already improving. If you don't and continue on your Genocide run, he still smiles, and says he still believes in you, encouraging you to be better. Many players have admitted to aborting or resetting an attempted Genocide run because of Papyrus, unable to bear hurting him after seeing just how unconditional his love is.

Dominic "Nicky" Hutchinson of Our Friends in the North has dreams of becoming a left-wing politician who will make a real difference to the lives of poor working-class people. First he joins the Labour party but quits when he discovers the levels of corruption within. He then joins an anarchist group closer to the extreme Left but quits when he realises that they're plotting terrorist acts. He then rejoins Labour and stands in the general election but loses thanks to a vicious smear campaign by his Tory opponents. Finally, he accepts that he is too nice for politics and abandons his political ambitions.

Kostya Saushkin in Night Watch (Series). He goes to medical school to try to find a cure for vampirism. However, since vampirism isn't actually a disease in this setting (he's actually undead), he fails. He does, however, succeed in figuring out how to quickly boost himself to High Vampire status using a special blood cocktail he comes up with. Normally, such a thing requires completely draining about 50 humans. He genuinely believes that he would feel more normal is everyone in the world had magical powers. Everyone else understands how asinine that idea is. Most people are far too irresponsible to be entrusted with magic. The world would plunge into chaos. He still tries to do it using the Fuaran spellbook, but attempting to open a portal to the ISS results in him missing by a mile and finding himself in orbit. The next book mentions that he burned up on re-entry.

Slayers:
The anime and manga incarnations of Princess Amelia, both genuinely and to a comedic extent. She does have a blind eye towards the more wicked intentions of certain foes, especially the Monster race, but this is more of an ideology taught to her than anything else because of her violent family history. In the novels, where she's more mature, she's still optimistic, but her idealism falls more into Stepford Smiler territory.
The anime-exclusive character Filia, the Golden Dragon, is this combined with Holier Than Thou taken to aggravating levels. It doesn't help that she was sheltered for most of her life, but even after she learned the Awful Truth, during the last battle she believes that the Big Bad isn't beyond salvation (it's established clearly that he is at that point) and doesn't want to destroy him, even as he's consuming the world at that moment...

God-King Susebron from Warbreaker. His entire experience of life outside his palace consists of having been read a book of fairy tales by his mother as a child. Semi-subverted in that while he does develop a more realistic view of the world, he never loses his almost childlike sense of straightforward goodness.

Equestria Girls: Friendship Souls: Sombra and Twilight Sparkle discuss this trope in regards to Twilight Velvet. He says that she was this when she was a part of Xcution and, like Twilight, wanted peace between the Quincy and Soul Society. However, he also says that she became jaded due to Soul Society's actions, turning into the woman she is today. He thinks that the same thing will happen to her. Twilight, naturally, doesn't believe him.

It sets up a nice contrast with his portrayal in the previous films, where he remains idealistic but is a lot more cautious about it now that he's had personal experience.
X-Men: Apocalypse: Xavier has regained most of his cheery optimism from First Class, and Word of God even says that he has too much hope at the beginning of the story. By the end of the movie, he becomes The Idealist, i.e. he is no longer "wide-eyed," but he doesn't give up hope for peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans.

Black Lagoon:
The neo-nazi band. Having no real experience with the way the criminal underworld works, they're sent on a fixed race to "test their ability" against the protagonists, where they overspend resources, repeatedly underestimate the crew of the Lagoon, refuse to see facts, and waste time making dramatic and hammy proclamations about their heroic destiny as champions of the white race. Revy and Dutch kill all of them, and their would-be patron abandons them the moment it's obvious to him they've failed (though not before admitting to the leader that he set them up in the first place).
Rock also struggles with this in earlier arcs: His attempts to understand Revy make her angry at him, trying to "save" Gretel failed utterly, and his attempt towards Yukio backfires completely. It isn't until "Le Baile de la Muerte" he starts to understand that if he wants to save people he'll have to become a cynical rotten power-player like Chang and Balalaika.
Rotton the Wizard. Firmly believes that he's in a far, far more idealistic series. Only his Crazy-Prepared-ness and association with a Dragon Lady and a chainsaw-wielding body disposal expert keep him alive and kicking.

In Quantum Leap, Sam's idealistic disposition fits this category to the point where there are times where he'd follow his own heart and his emotions to try to change history on his own terms for idealistic/personal reasons while ignoring Al and/or the main leaping mission at hand. In many episodes, things do work out for him when he does this, such as when he changed history so that Donna married him after all or when he changed history so that his brother didn't have to die in the Vietnam War. However, being too idealistic and emotional also came back to bite him HARD in episodes like "Deliver Us From Evil" where Sam nearly got himself and Jimmy killed simply because he let his emotions rule his head and only saw what he wanted to see in the evil leaper Alia, instead of picking up on the rather obvious clues that she was, in fact, the reason for why the Lamotta family fell apart.

Descendants: Prince Ben pretty much hinged on the universe rewarding nobility and courage. His first scene in the movie is him telling his parents Belle and the Beast, he wants to give four children of villains a chance to become better people and invite them into the kingdom despite their parents being some of the most feared and hated villains in their historynote Mal is the daughter of Maleficent, Evie is the daughter of the Evil Queen of Snow White, Carlos de Vil is the son of Cruella de Vil, and Jay is the son of Jafar. Of special note is when he spent time with Mal, which revolved around the idea that Mal is a lost being who just needs good influences in her life, as opposed to the evil spawn of villains she and her friends are painted as. Of course, everyone heavily doubts his move to give the villain kids a chance, but Ben doesn't let that stop him.

Aang starts off this way. But being shouldered with the weight of the Avatar Spirit, his entire people dying, Appa's kidnapping, and the horrors of war quickly got rid of it.
Zuko also started out this way. Then his father burned his face off and kicked him out of the country as punishment for his idealism.
Katara is this to some degree, at least in the earlier episodes. Her idealism is lampshaded by the portrayal of her by an actor in the Lampshade Extravaganza episode, The Ember Island Players:

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
Naive, gentle Tora Ziyal, despite growing up as a prisoner of the Breen, despite being rejected by Bajorans and Cardassians for her hybrid status, still remains trusting and hopeful that she can somehow help, with her art that resembles that of both cultures, in proving that the groups aren't so different after all. She knows her father, Dukat's past, but loves him anyway, sincerely believing he's changed and keeps right on forgiving him. Too bad that choosing saving her friends over staying with her father gets her shot by her father's Dragon as a traitor. Dukat goes mad as a result.
When the Dominion War starts and they occupy Deep Space Nine, Jake remains behind to report on it. A few months in, he finds out the Dominion is preventing his articles reporting on their oppressive policies from being delivered to his publisher, and actually tries to invoke freedom of the press.

"Will / Ed" from Advance Wars: Days of Ruin / Dark Conflict. His idealism arguably pushes him dangerously close to being an Idiot Hero, as he is often wildly optimistic and consequently sometimes fails to look at situations properly. However, his will and sheer determination in even the worst of situations often leads to at least one crowning moment of heartwarming. Case in point — mission 16, which starts off with desperate music playing pushing ever closer to the Despair Event Horizon, when suddenly Will/Ed decides he's going to fight, and the music changes from desperate to sheer awesome.

Steven Universe is this in spades. However, unlike some other Idealists, Steven Quartz Universe actually survives, making this a possible subversion.

Getter Robo: Musashi Tomoe in the original manga combined this trope with Wrong Genre Savvy. After meeting Ryoma and co. for the first time, he insists on becoming a Getter Robot pilot. When he is said he is not strong, sturdy, and intelligent (or crazy) enough to pilot Getter (a task which is very taxing for both body and mind), he replies he has got the most important skill to become a mecha pilot: hot-bloodedness. Ryoma and Hayato wondered if he was serious. Apparently nobody told him that Getter Robo is a Cosmic Horror Story and Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa Humongous Mecha mangas (Mazinger Z, Getter Robo, Kotetsu Jeeg) are way darker than the idealistic fare of later series that the genre would be stereotyped with.

Kim Ga-on of The Devil Judge is an idealistic, virtuous young judge who fully trusts the system and the law. However, as the story progresses he learns about the corrupt rich people who run the country, and through assisting Yo-han his ideals are challenged. He finds out that people are way too complex to be divided into white and black.

In Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), Madison Russell admires the Titans but she's also this at the start of the film, helped by her mother's influence. Emma admittedly sugarcoated the Titans' temperament to Madison, only giving her exposure to the most benevolent Titan of all, and this made her think the release of all the other Titans won't be a problem. However, Madison has never had any first-hand exposure to any evil Titans until Ghidorah is freed — just seeing him and the damage he quickly causes is enough to make Madison realize that some of the Titans may not be nearly as nice as Emma led her to believe.

Frozen (2013): Reconstructed with Anna. She's extremely idealistic by nature and naive. She thinks Hans is her One True Love after less than a day, only to find out he's a murderous, manipulative Gold Digger. She also believes her sister Elsa is just misunderstood when the latter freezes the whole kingdom, but turns out to be right. By the end of the movie, she's become more discerning and realistic but still retains her idealism. The casting call for the Broadway version even outright says "her greatest flaw – and her greatest strength – is her faith in love".

The Punisher MAX had a rare villainous example in Mickey Cooley, a young Irish-American who fervently, almost pathetically, believes that the PIRA are noble freedom fighters striking against legitimate targets which are part of the British oppression of Northern Ireland and should be supported as much as possible. Given that this series was written by Garth Ennis, whose frothing-at-the-mouth hatred of the PIRA and their American supporters is well-known, and the protagonist is The Punisher... yeah, it doesn't end well.

Princess of the Blacks:
Danny, Hermione, and Ron are at least as idealistic as canon despite the setting being Darker and Edgier. Notably, they're convinced that they can get Hagrid exonerated after he admits to kidnapping and smuggling a giant across international borders (both very serious crimes) to an auror. Naturally, they fail.
The Order of the Phoenix in general and Dumbledore, in particular, are fully convinced the Death Eaters might redeem themselves and thus shouldn't be killed. Contrast Narcissa who openly laughs at the idea that Draco has made a Heel–Face Turn and claims Draco only told Dumbledore what he wanted to hear.
Luna is a milder example, noting how she always believed that evil people were only ever pure evil and that those who appeared to be anything else, would be Obviously Evil upon being unmasked. Unfortunately for her, she lives in a world of Black-and-Gray Morality and Jen wasn't pretending to be her friend or to love her.

Shinji in Kamen Rider Ryuki, caught in a fight for a single wish, Shinji fights to try and stop this but learn he could not...
Kouta in Kamen Rider Gaim fights to save the earth... and in the end has to leave to a faraway planet after killing Kaito.
Keitaro in Kamen Rider 555 just wants to make people happy, which would be easier to do if he wasn't in one of the darker installments of the franchise. Compounded by the fact that (aside from one non-canon instance) he is incapable of using any of the Rider Gear despite how much as he'd like to.

Androgyninja's A Drop of Poison: One of Naruto's biggest issues is his heavily romanticized ideas of what the shinobi world is like. For instance, he believes that the only thing you need in order to win is sheer bloody-minded determination, and that retreating equals cowardice, meaning he doesn't Know When to Fold 'Em. Not only does he fail to recognize how easily he or his friends could be killed, he also struggles to grasp the fact that they have to be willing to kill others themselves. When he finally learns that Sakura has killed several times in order to defend herself and others, he's utterly horrified, angrily asking her how she could do such a thing.

The Hunyak, the lone innocent inmate from Chicago. She insists Uncle Sam will not put her in jail because Uncle Sam is fair and just. This is in a play that satirises how the media transforms murder into a form of entertainment and makes celebrities out of criminals. The Hunyak, being an immigrant who can't speak English beyond 'Not guilty' doesn't get that treatment so cannot hope to get a decent lawyer to defend her. As a result, she's the only inmate who gets hanged.

Her suspicions fly out of the window when he tells her that he's her father, and she refuses to believe if he's actually the culprit.

Renate Richter in Iron Sky thinks that all Hitler wanted was peace under his gentle rule. It's clear that she's been brainwashed by the Moon Nazis, and the film starts with her doing plenty of brainwashing of her own of young Nazi children, showing them a 10-minute version of Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator. Her idea of romance is to be genetically compatible with an Aryan man to produce perfect children. After arriving to Earth with her "fiancé" Klaus Adler (who has no such ideals and merely wants to conquer the world), she helps the President's re-election campaign by writing inspiring speeches straight out of Hitler's handbook (with gems like "we raise our hand to one nation"). She tries to convince James Washington (a black male model who was "albinized" by Renate's Mad Scientist father) of the Nazis' good intentions by showing him The Great Dictator, not realizing that it's the full 2-hour version. Her illusion finally breaks after seeing the film and a disastrous encounter with some skinheads spray-painting her "symbol of peace" everywhere.

In Outbound Flight, the smuggler Maris Ferasi fits this trope pretty well. She had the utmost trust in and adoration for the Chiss commander Thrawn. Unusually, she wasn't disillusioned within the book — Thrawn lied about what he had done to resolve an extraordinarily prickly conflict, letting her leave without knowing just how much of a Downer Ending the whole issue became. Why?

MonsterVerse:
Monarch are seen as this In-Universe by government and military authorities, but it's actually played with or averted by them.
While Dr. Serizawa is the only one who seems to understand that allowing Godzilla to take down other Titans might be both a viable option and the wisest course of action, he at first does so because of naturalistic philosophy. Worse, he continues to push for leaving it all to Godzilla, even as the humans disadvantaged him by feeding the MUTOs nukes, and doesn't abandon this philosophy in the sequel, even because Ford Brody turned the tide in his favor.
Serizawa's partner Vivienne Graham has no illusions about how dangerous some of the Kaiju she studies can be, but it gets showcased in the Godzilla (2014) novelization that Vivienne isn't as stoic or grim as Serizawa is and is less critical of human interference in nature.
In the aforementioned novelization, Dr. Whelan gets an Adaptation Personality Change which turns him into this.
In Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), Madison Russell admires the Titans but she's also this at the start of the film, helped by her mother's influence. Emma admittedly sugarcoated the Titans' temperament to Madison, only giving her exposure to the most benevolent Titan of all, and this made her think the release of all the other Titans won't be a problem.

Played with in Redeeming Love with Michael, whose Love Martyr tendencies make him look like this trope (especially when placed beside the noticeably more cynical members of most of the rest of the cast). The heroine mocks him for his idealism, and his brother gives him a lecture on how it’s going to ruin his life. However, even though he looks like this trope to everyone else, Michael is actually not ignorant at all, and he struggles with the seeming impossibility of the task that’s been given to him (healing the Broken Bird with The Power of Love). However, ultimately Love Redeems, and although it was a hard and very rocky road, idealism actually wins the day.

In the backstory of the old BattleTech world, the last First Lord of the Star League, Richard Cameron was orphaned as a boy, and grew up with an idealistic Arthurian vision of his supposed role as head of the multi-kingdomed, federal empire. Since politics in the Battletech universe are much more realistic than that, he was the worst possible choice for the critical throne at the worst possible time, and catastrophe followed. Not helped by the fact that an Evil Chancellor, who would later go on to kill Richard and bring the Star League to ruin, was warping his mind and constantly clouding his judgment towards said idealism.

Anthony Hope in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is as idealistic as Sweeney is cynical. And then he gets bashed (literally, in some cases) down by Judge Turpin and the Beadle. And he is still idealistic, even though everyone — even his er, bride, Johanna, tumbles down the Sliding Scaleof Idealism Versus Cynicism. And it can be viewed as all HIS fault. It should be noted, though, that Anthony Hope is one of the few characters who is still alive at the end.

Some Semblance of Meaning (The Hunger Games):
Vale, the heroine, has a prominent idealistic streak. Back in her home district, she used to make up stories full of idealism, and even in the midst of the Hunger Games, she desperately wants to believe that there is good in everyone (despite what the "pragmatic voice" in her mind says). She undergoes quite a bit of Break the Cutie but never gives up her belief in the underlying potential for good in humanity. She eventually dies defying the Capitol in the hopes that it will prove a point to those watching, and in fact, this action does plant the seeds for the rebellion that occurs thirty years later in The Hunger Games canon.
Another example: District One's Obsidian is quite idealistic for a Career. For example: "Growing up and hearing stories of Hunger Games past, they had seemed like so much fun, adventures with fantastic, unimaginable riches and eternal fame as the victor's reward. A dream come true for a small, idealistic boy with a 'bright' future as a Career tribute lying ahead of him." However, in the arena, he experiences some Break the Haughty when the brutality of the Games come into conflict with his expectations and beliefs. He ends up winning the Games after Vale's death, but as a very broken shadow of the carefree Career he once was.

The title character of Revolutionary Girl Utena, which can be infuriating when you realize that she refuses to see the emotional hardships that her peers go through (Juri's conflict over Shiori and her sexuality in general come to mind; Utena brushes it off and tells her to stop acting cold). Miki is this to a lesser extent, in regards to his sister Kozue, but it may be more that he's a genuine Nice Guy more than anything else.

Daredevil (2015): Karen Page is possibly the most idealistic of the protagonists, and this manifests in her determinator style dedication to bringing down Wilson Fisk. It's dangerous, and it doesn't pay well (Karen ends up being forced to kill James Wesley, while allies like Ben Urich and Elena Cardenas get killed), but she knows it needs to happen because Fisk is a dangerous criminal.

The Book of Mormon:
Elder Kevin Price truly believes that spreading the word of Christ (specifically of Latter-Day Saints theology) is as simple as confidently proclaiming it to all around him. He eventually becomes entirely disillusioned by it when Surprisingly Realistic Outcome occurs and no one is receptive to stories that have no real relevance to their lives.
Nabulungi is a Ugandan villager who, while aware of the strife in her village, nonetheless believes that life can be better and as such she is the only one in her town who is initially receptive to the Mormon missionaries. She approaches a Despair Event Horizon when she learns that Elder Cunningham had completely bastardized the teachings of the Mormon church and thus the stories that he told were all fabrications, but her fellow villagers pull her back from the brink when they reveal that they knew all along that the stories were not real and had instead interpreted them as inspiring parables which had convinced them to become idealists.

Theo from The Noordegraaf Files has this as his main character flaw. He's never been through any true tragedy or loss in his life, and this makes him overly trusting and foolhardy. Given the fantasy world he's in is no fairy tale, he's in danger of getting himself killed.

A Song of Ice and Fire:
Sansa Stark, who bases her whole life around singers' tales, is a perfect little lady, gentle and trusting. Until the person she is starry-eyed over cuts off her father's head in front of her. And then MUCH misfortune followed.
Sansa's Trickster Mentor, Littlefinger is implied to have been even more idealistic than her as a child, having had a mischievous, adorable, and optimistic nature before his own Break the Cutie process. He hasn't handled it well... at all!
Less drastic but still quite there examples also exist with her siblings: her younger brother Bran especially, who believed in the same songs and stories as she did. His Break the Cutie process just happened faster.
Quentyn Martell has the mindset of a heroic fantasy and sees himself as The Hero who will succeed. But he is in fact unskilled to the task given to him. He was sent to Meereen to marry Daenerys, but he is unable to woo her, as he just isn't manly enough. His next plan was to try to tame her dragons thinking it would impress her, but he ends up getting burnt to a crisp for his foolishness.
Brienne of Tarth realized long ago that since no Knight in Shining Armor will sweep her off her feet, then she will be one. She quickly learns knighthood ain't what it's cracked up to be either.

Nebula:
Earth keeps trying to befriend her hostile neighbors no matter how harshly they act towards her, and instead of being wary at the clear signs that there's something horribly wrong with Sun thinks that he's just going through a rough patch and needs some friendly support.
Pluto thinks that the rest of the solar system's All of the Other Reindeer attitude towards him and their (understandable) fear of the Humanoid Abomination Black Hole is all a big misunderstanding and that they can all be friends.

Sam Seaborn in The West Wing. Often, he creates idealistic scenarios and goals that sound wonderful, but when he presents them to Leo or the President, they are shot down because of being impractical, a waste of time, or just plain dangerous. He also is very trusting and naive, which gets him into trouble on a frequent basis. Often, as in the case of a public education plan he developed that would have been revolutionary, he completely forgets to factor in a budget, accidentally assuming that there are no limitations. Ironically, this makes utter sense, as this seems to be the most glaring problem with the entire American Dream.

Poor Sigurd from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. He charges into bandit territory to rescue his childhood friend, falls in love and marries a beautiful maiden, and some time later charges back into the fray to rescue another friend. Unfortunately, Augustria is way more political than Verdane, and Sigurd's actions aren't seen as quite so heroic. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Princess: The Hopeful: Princesses of Mirrors will often fall under this trope, in contrast to The Idealist Radiant Princesses. While the Radiants are idealists, they do acknowledge that they live in A World Half Full and that they will need to Earn Your Happy Ending. Mirrors, on the other hand, teaches that there is no such thing as a no-win scenario, that hard choices only mean that you're not looking hard enough for the perfect answer, and that the Princess of Mirrors can fix everything by herself.

Game of Thrones:
At the beginning of the series, Sansa thinks she is going to be a fairy tale princess and that Joffrey is her Prince Charming. She loses more and more of her illusions after her father is executed and she's kept as a hostage in King's Landing. In Season 6, she tells Jon that she'd like to go back in time and smack her younger self for being so stupid.
Eddard Stark is wise in war and justice but is totally surprised by the amount of intrigue and corruption infecting capital politics.
As a child, Littlefinger was one of these. After all, the small and lowborn yet intelligent hero always gets the girl, right?
Matthos Seaworth holds a rather optimistic view of the world, believing that Stannis will win, the Lord of Light will rule all and everything will be just lovely.

In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Master Thief of the Thieves' Guild, Gentleman Jim Stacey is one. His belief in the Bal Molagmer (Just Like Robin Hood thieves who practice Karmic Thievery) is entirely personalnote it does make pragmatic sense as a propaganda move against the Camonna Tong by invoking a Dunmer good thief tradition, but Jim Stacey only cites moral reasons, and the other Guild leaders don't practice it. Depending on how you play the game, he may also end up getting killed by the other local crime group and rivals to the Thieves Guild, the Camonna Tong.

This is what makes Alice L. Malvin of Pumpkin Scissors stand out from many of the other nobles of the setting. She firmly believes in her cause to "eradicate evil" and that others will push for it too. This is what got Machis and Oland to join in the first place.

A toned-down version of Penny in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. "...a generally nice person whose idealistic attempts at solving the problems of their world turn out to go horribly horribly awry..." Do I detect a bit of irony?

In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, David Sarif is this to an extent. In a world of high tech cybernetics, ruthless conspiracy, and corporate warfare — signs that would warn an individual that they're in a Cyberpunk setting - Sarif believes that the best thing to do with augmentation technology is to remove all restrictions on it and that doing so will help the people of the world. Of course, despite the multiple endings, this is a prequel to Deus Ex, so we know that all four endings will result in the exact same scenario a few decades down the line. His belief that merging man and machine will create a better world is vindicated by the original game's Helios ending, where the hero merges with a benevolent AI.

Endless Space has several of these. The Amoebas, Sophons, and the human Pilgrims who have traits like this. Amoebas and Pilgrims believe in mutual understanding, the Sophons prefer to focus on exploration and science. That said they are all Martial Pacifist, and they are not afraid to fight back if need be.

Shirou Emiya of Fate/stay night, who wants to follow in his father's footsteps to become an "ally of justice" and enters the Holy Grail War to prevent civilian casualties and abuse of the Holy Grail. The end result depends somewhat on the route: His idealism remains unscathed in the first route, he chucks away the 'Wide-Eyed' part after a thorough examination of his ideal in the second route, and chucks away it all as meaningless to who he really is in the third. The latter ones are foreshadowed in "Fate" when he couldn't come up with a real answer about if what he was doing actually brought him happiness. Then again, judging by Archer's comments, the past he went through seemed similar to the Fate route, so there may be a pair of Jade-Colored Glasses waiting for Shirou there...

Warhammer 40,000
The Tau started out pretty close, before the inevitable grimmification. They still qualify in that galaxy, even though in any other they'd be the bad guys the heroes have to stop at all costs.
Also the Chaos God Nurgle, in a very weird way, despite being the embodiment of despair (and possibly love). Nurgle is a Friend to All Living Things... it's just that bacteria, rats, and other vermin are so much more numerous.
His opposite number, Tzeentch subverts this pretty hard (despite being the embodiment of hope, of all emotions). He represents the desire for things to change, and as such is the patron god of mutants, sorcerers, and traitors.

In El Goonish Shive, Grace is this in all things including nudity, and so was Susan before her Mercy Kill of the aberration. Literally so — her eyes change into her current half-droopy state when she looks down at his corpse, and while she still has wide eyes quite often, they do tend towards the "half-droopy". After the encounter of a weird kind with Jerry led to Freak Out, though, she now tends to have wide-open eyes more often than not.

Lieutenant George in Blackadder Goes Forth, despite having spent three years in the trenches of World War I, is still mindlessly optimistic about giving the Germans a good bashing, and readily believes all war propaganda to be true. The grim reality of his situation (in particular, the event of "going over the top" he's been looking forward to for all the series) dawns on him when he realises that he's the only one of his class group left, all the rest having been killed. He goes over the top shortly afterwards in a Bolivian Army Ending. His response to realizing all his friends are dead is "Well, I guess I'm the only one left... oh... I mean, if it wasn't for the excitement of going over the top tomorrow, I might be a bit down!" Subverted when he says to Blackadder: "Captain, I'm... scared." Up until that point, it's not clear whether the whole thing was intended to be more of the show's black humor, or if it was actually supposed to be horrifying. That line cleared it right up. Then, it goes From Bad to Worse.

Doctor Who: In "Turn Left", an alternate-timeline Donna is laughably naïve, among other things severely overestimating the value of secretaries as the world goes to hell.
In "Remembrance of the Daleks", this is why the neo-nazi Sgt. Smith remains a sympathetic character to some; he's not so much puppy-kicking bad as horribly misguided. He honestly thinks the Association is acting in Britain's best interests. When Ratcliff's pedestal breaks, Smith's actions are of someone who is utterly bewildered and desperate.

The Deus Ex series has this in spades:
JC Denton starts out the game this way. He's sent directly from training to a terrorist situation on Liberty Island and believes that UNATCO is a paragon of law enforcement and justice. When the NSF commander (Leo Gold) at the end of the level tries to debate him about ethics, JC is adamant that UNATCO can do no wrong and justifies their treatment of the NSF. It only takes about a day before he's forced to confront his employer's atrocities, and eventually switches his loyalties to the NSF when they activate his brother's killswitch. As a result, he takes on a much more cynical and snarky view of the situation.
Sam Carter is also this. Acting as the quartermaster for UNATCO, Carter always stresses by-the-book approaches to hostage situations and non-violent solutions. When JC is escaping UNATCO and tries to get him to join the resistance, Carter refuses to hear JC's explanation and says that all it needs to get back on track are a few good people. He's later dumped unceremoniously by the company after Walton Simons assumes control and admits how he was naive in believing they could change anything (which prompts him to help the Vandenberg scientists).
In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, David Sarif is this to an extent. In a world of high tech cybernetics, ruthless conspiracy, and corporate warfare — signs that would warn an individual that they're in a Cyberpunk setting - Sarif believes that the best thing to do with augmentation technology is to remove all restrictions on it and that doing so will help the people of the world.

Marianne from Strange Magic starts out like this. She happily proclaims that once she becomes ruler she'll be able to successfully negotiate with the goblins so that everyone can go wherever they want to, brushing over the longstanding fantastic racism on both sides and security problems that would lead to. She's much more cynical about the goblins and everything else after she finds her fiancée cheating on her.

Survival of the Fittest:
Chris Davidson from v4 may indeed be this as well.
One could easily make a case for Carol Burke as well, who seems to genuinely believe they are going to be rescued and the terrorists wouldn't get away with it a fourth time. To her, very few at her school would actually play, especially her friends. Heck, she trusts Reiko Ishida and gets killed for her troubles.
Orn "Dutchy" Ayers could also be interpreted as this. However, it's also a major reason why he's considered The Woobie; he's smart enough to know that although things should be good and he wants to do the right thing, things... aren't working out. As a result, he doesn't take things very well and spends a good portion of his time on the island in a Heroic BSoD, wishing he could save all his friends.

Silverbolt of Beast Wars started out as a starry-eyed idealist. He was so thoroughly chivalrous that he refused to hit or fire upon a female (Blackarachnia) even if his own life, or the lives of his comrades, depended on it. His naivete took its toll in the three-part second season finale where he refused direct orders from Optimus to capture Blackarachnia, instead going after her to help her dig up the Ark. This enabled Megatron to make it to the Ark easier and gain the access codes from Blackarachnia after threatening Silverbolt's life. Then Megatron went into the Ark and fired a fatal blast into the still dormant Optimus Prime's head, triggering a cataclysmic time storm that nearly destroyed all the Maximals and wiped out time and space. All thanks to Silverbolt's refusal to capture Blackarachnia. Later on, of course, everything gets cleaned up but Silverbolt's actions nearly led to the destruction of time and space due to his wide-optical idealism. In Beast Machines, this trope becomes subverted as Silverbolt is transformed into the villainous Jetstorm. Blackarachnia does bring him back but once Silverbolt returns, he no longer has the rosy outlook on life that he used to, becoming a bitter Anti-Hero for the remainder of the series.It should be noted that despite leading Megatron to the Ark the first time, his continued pursuit of Blackaracnia kept her on the Maximal side all through season 3 despite some close calls regarding her Chaotic Neutral yearnings. In fact, it's only because of his devotion that ultimately she becomes a real Maximal. This ironically is the only thing that saves the future yet again when she's the last maximal to survive a mental takeover of Optimus Primal, and thus she's able to save the ark from self-destruction.

Daughter of the Sun: Orsina describes herself as an idealist who's dismayed how older paladins are often much more cynical, fighting with the Temple of Iolar (their organization, the Order of the Sun, is also dedicated to Iolar), wishing they could get along because after all they have a common faith and shared goals. She believes sincerely in her work as a paladin and their ideals. Orsina has to face dangers which challenge her idealism while the story's unfolding. Aelia takes advantage of her naive, trusting nature to deceive Orsina repeatedly and at length.

Komari from Little Busters!, who always tries to look on the bright side, has a childish temperament and hates sad stories. And then it turns out that this is because her brother, who was very sickly, tried to shield her from anything painful, only telling her happy stories. Even when he died, he convinced her that it was just a dream. While in good faith, this had terrible consequences - Komari repressed the sad memories, but they're triggered whenever she encounters death or blood, causing her to have a Heroic BSoD. The main development at the end of her route is her learning to take a more realistic approach and accept both the good and bad parts of life.

On Sailor Moon, the titular character definitely fits this, considering that deciding to spare the life of Hotaru almost killed her future daughter and brought The End of the World as We Know It. It's so blatant Sailor Uranus & Neptune try to incapacitate, sometimes even murder her for her idealism. However, it's worth noting that Uranus and Neptune's actions contributed greatly, if not more, to the outcome of the event more than Sailor Moon's idealism did.

The League of Youth by Henrik Ibsen has the young attorney Stensgaard. He wishes to make things better by creating a new political party, and thus gather the young forces against the "old regime". As it happens, he is led off course by older and more experienced politicians, who actually do it to preserve the status quo and their own positions. At the end of the play, he is run out of town.

Serizawa's partner Vivienne Graham has no illusions about how dangerous some of the Kaiju she studies can be, but it gets showcased in the Godzilla (2014) novelization that Vivienne isn't as stoic or grim as Serizawa is and is less critical of human interference in nature.

NPC rather than party member, but Dragon Age II has Seamus Dumar. He's an outspoken opponent of the unthinking fear the qunari in Kirkwall inspire, and believes in bringing the two sides closer together (no easy task, since qunari aren't that approachable themselves). Too bad he lives in a Wretched Hive and his father is a well-meaning Slave to PR. Mother Petrice has him murdered and tries to frame the qunari for it to spark a race war.

Negi of Negima! Magister Negi Magi starts out as one of these, but he eventually starts to realize that good and bad aren't quite as clear cut as he thought they were. Evangeline actually deliberately discourages his idealism (despite the fact that she's a Noble Demon who's constantly sliding towards Anti-Villain territory). Negi eventually admits that he can't always be the good guy, although he still tries to go with the most "good" option available.

In Just a Goblin, Nog leaves the safety of his village to find a way for adventurers and goblins can live in peace even though they've been fighting and killing each other for centuries. He's horrified when to learn that goblin body parts and linens are used to make commodities as part of Mulros Town's economy. He also struggles to comprehend how some adventurers kill goblins solely because they enjoy it. Despite this, he continues to cling to his dream of making peace between adventurers and goblins possible.

Code Prime: As in canon, Suzaku is this. Deconstructed further than in canon, though, because his tendency to see only the best in people means that he fails to recognize just how monstrous Megatron is, which also blinds him to how evil the Decepticons are.

Rurouni Kenshin: Kenshin Himura is a good example. Some might consider him Incorruptible Pure Pureness, but old habits die hard... Except his intro speech at the end of the first chapter goes, "no, swordsmanship is an art of killing. Kaoru-dono believes a sweet, naive lie. But if this one had a wish... it would be that her sweet lie would become the truth of this world." Kenshin's Walking the Earth with Obfuscating Stupidity routine involves some serious ideals, but despite avoiding his battle expression most of the time he's not too wide-eyed. He's got the world-weary thing going but values Kaoru as a Wide-Eyed Idealist.

How I Met Your Mother has a deconstruction in Ted. Ted is a man who sees love and relationships through rose-colored glasses. He believes there's only one person for him out there, that will be completely perfect for him and that relationships, when is with your "The One", are easy and free of conflict. This is something that his future self actually lampshades to be unrealistic and that he ended up facing a lot of hardships because of this belief.

X-Men: Apocalypse: Xavier has regained most of his cheery optimism from First Class, and Word of God even says that he has too much hope at the beginning of the story. By the end of the movie, he becomes The Idealist, i.e. he is no longer "wide-eyed," but he doesn't give up hope for peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans.

Re:CREATORS: Of all the fictional characters that come to the real world, Mamika Kirameki is the only one who comes from a children's TV show. Therefore, she believes everyone is basically good and they can all be friends. Unfortunately, the other characters do not share her sense of idealism, and her attempts to stop conflicts ultimately fall on deaf ears. Over time, she loses her naivety but remains as idealistic as ever. Unfortunately, this earns her a horrible death.

The Kingdom Hearts series plays with this trope, ultimately subverting it: Sora is so idealistic that villains often take advantage of his do-gooder tendencies and manipulate him in various ways. The villains all insist that the protagonists are Wide-Eyed Idealists who should just give in and admit that the world is nothing but darkness at its heart. A notable example is in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories when Sora is manipulated into erasing his own memory. Ultimately, his idealism and his bonds with friends protect him.

Mabel Pines from Gravity Falls is a cheery Genki Girl who tends to believe the best of everyone and that any situation will have a happy outcome. One episode, "Boss Mabel", has her arranging a bet with her great-uncle involving her being the boss of his place of business for three days. In keeping with her all-loving, Pollyanna personality, prior to and at the beginning of the arrangement, she honestly believes that just being nice and letting the Shack's employees do absolutely anything they want will yield positive results. It doesn't work out as planned, and she eventually realizes that sometimes in life, you have to put your foot down. She spends the first half of the episode looking literally wide-eyed.

Remi from Unordinary. She's a Nice Girl who seems to believe in Arlo's hierarchy establishing order at Wellston. As a result, she's developed a friendship amongst the school's Royals, such as towards, Arlo, Isen, and Blyke, under the belief that they're having a great time at school together. Unfortunately, her view doesn't extend any further than this bubble, which has left her completely oblivious to all the bullying that goes on at the school amongst the lower tiers. She doesn't even catch on that two of her close friends, Arlo and Isen, have treated the crippled John horribly. Once John starts attacking Royals as the masked Joker out of revenge, and to push forward his plan of destroying the hierarchy, she finally decides to act against Joker since she's unable to understand why he's targeting the Royals.

Star Trek: The Next Generation:
To some extent, Data. Not completely — he's good at being skeptical and savvy about more abstract situations — but has a tendency to be far too trusting and willing to get close to people who he knows personally or who behave in a well-meaning manner, usually resulting in injury and/or betrayal (e.g., Lore, Ira Graves, Ishara Yar, brainwashed members of the crew on various occasions). Considering he's an android, stereotyped as logical and dispassionate about things that could emotionally compromise normal people, this trait of his is almost a subversion. Or perhaps his programming isn't designed to pick up on "sketchy vibes".
Gia in "Thine Own Self". Even while sickly and barely able to move, Gia believes that Data isn't trying to hurt anyone. Of course, he'd done nothing to make her think he was doing them any harm, making it justified.
