This character has a natural empathy for other life forms. They talk to animals that don't normally go near humans. Their garden is a work of art and they gossip with the flowers. They predict the weather by listening to the birds and can foresee a drought by examining the plants. Sometimes this is a very general ability encompassing all of nature, sometimes it's exclusive to one particular species. But either way, they have a special relationship with some non-human being on a level other humans can only dream of. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The problem? It's a totally different story when it comes to the members of their own species. The price for communing with nature is apparently a graceless ineptitude with other people. You might find them deep in conversation with a lion, unicorn, daffodil, robot or many-tentacled people-eating thing, but a simple "good morning" on your part is liable to send them scurrying for cover or provoke a tirade. Broadly speaking, there are two variations of this character. |

Natsume Takashi the protagonist of Natsume's Book of Friends, is kind and understanding of almost all the Youkai he meets -including the ones who try to eat him, but is isolated from humans for most of his childhood due to his ability to see spirits. As a result he "never knows what to say" to them. | |

Bitch's powers affect her mind so that she thinks and perceives social interactions like a dog. This also makes her unable to grasp tone, expressions and several other key aspects of human interaction. As such while she turns out to be quite empathetic and kind, this is expressed almost exclusively towards dogs. Towards humans she is less than friendly. | |

Dr. Jezebel in Count Cain doesn't give a damn about human life (and when he does it shows itself in odd ways: "I love you so much I want to kill you!" to Cain, his half brother), but he would never, ever harm an animal, not even a wee sparrow. Even his partners notice that his entire being changes around animals, from a near Omnicidal Maniac to a nigh-angelic Friend to All Living Things. Like everyone else in Count Cain, he has a very Freudian Excuse When he was a sickly child, his Big Bad biological father "helped" him by giving him multiple organ transplants and delicious food, courtesy of his mother and sisters and beloved pet lamb, respectively. The lamb is but a memory but the family remains, in small jars in Dr. Jezebel's office. and otherwise excellent social skills. | |

April Ludgate hates people (save for her ditzy husband Andy and the like-minded Ron Swanson), but adores animals. This eventually leads to Leslie putting her in charge of the Animal Control department, and she's surprisingly passionate about it after several seasons spent as a Professional Slacker. | |

Claude Raines in Heroes is an invisible man, and claims to know what people are really like when they think they're alone. He's so sickened by and disillusioned with humans he's completely withdraw from society. He does however, feed the birds that come to his coop, and lets them out again it night. | |

Mutt from G.I. Joe has always been better with animals than people, and shares a deeper connection with his dog Junkyard than he ever has with another person. However, his lack of social graces cause him to come off as, well, wild and temperamental, hence the codename "Mutt". In fact, they even force him to wear a freaking muzzle, Hannibal Lecter-style, because unlike Big, Friendly Dog Junkyard, Mutt bites. | |

He also finds a kindred spirit in season 2 in Peter Bernardone, a mentally disabled man who's a Friend to All Living Things. | |

Both Harima and Yakumo from School Rumble could arguably be defined as this. Harima gets this during a stint as a hermit who gathers a large following of animals. Yakumo's telepathy helps drive her away from people, and she does like animals, but she lacks Harima's expertise... with the possible exception of giraffes. | |

We Bare Bears has Charlie the Sasquatch, an otherwise friendly and amiable guy who doesn't like how humans are always invading his privacy, trying to take his picture or even capture him. However, he is seemingly unaware that he's always doing the same thing with the bears, since he considers them to be his closest friends despite their occasional discomfort. Chloe Park also counts, due to spending most of her time researching animals, making her socially inept around other humans. It doesn't help that she's also a child admitted in college early, and most of her fellow students are much older than her. |

Sally Lindsay from The Long Earth series comes from a family of natural "Steppers" who was exploring parallel worlds before Step Day gave everyone the tech to do so. She tends to avoid people due to a mix of seeing them as trespassers on her turf, disdain for their carelessness and lack of survival skills, and the way they treat the Long Earth's indigenous life-forms. She can get particularly protective of Trolls, and frequently acts as a roaming vigilante on their behalf. | |

Granny Weatherwax from the Discworld series is a rather odd case of this. She's got a rather impressive affinity for cures magical and physical, has an affinity for nature magic few other witches could match, and the best witch at Borrowing in the last hundred years or longer. She's the only witch to ever successfully borrow a hive mind like bees. She also recognizes that being Right doesn't make you nice, and as a result, has developed a reputation that crosses the species lines. The troll name for her translates to "She Who Must Be Avoided," and the dwarves call her "Go Around the Other Side of the Mountain." She can use people skills if she wants; witness the counter-cardsharping she does in Witches Abroad. It's not so much that she doesn't understand people, or that she despises people, as that her abilities leave her with very little respect for the pretenses and comforting lies that make human existence endurable. This is true of almost all Discworld witches, but Granny Weatherwax has it even more than most. Lord Vetinari is very good at dealing with people, but he seems to like his dog Wuffles more than any people. Although, knowing him, that could just be another one of his strategies for dealing with, yes, people. Similar to Susan Calvin, below, is Adora Belle Dearheart, a crusader for golem rights. She not once, but twice shoots at her future husband with a crossbow, dismisses small talk with "Now we've been appropriately human to one another, what did you want?", and has only ever once been forcibly stopped from smoking (and it took a 300-pound orangutan to do that), but when she talks about golems she gets all soft and caring. And when one of the golems she looks after dies, well, she starts acting as if she actually had...feelings. |

Doctor Dolittle can speak with animals and relates well to them, but aside from a few close friends he doesn't much like humans. In the 1967 film, his female companion confesses her affection for him and he nervously admits that while he loves animals, actual people are really hard for him to deal with. | |

The X-Files episode "Alpha" had Karin Berquist, a woman who's an expert on canine behaviour; spending years living in the wild with them, but unable to interact socially. When Mulder mentions he met her on the internet, it doesn't take Scully long to realise Berquist's agenda in luring out someone as quirky as she is with an unusual case. | |

While type ones may exist, the rather combat-oriented nature of Dungeons & Dragons mean that most player characters will find themselves at odds with militant city-hating druids and rangers. The Baldur's Gate series has a "Shadow Druid" as a recruitable NPC who is just nasty in the first installment, then goes on to sic dangerous animals on a nearby town in the second. | |

Trowa Barton from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing is able to reduce a lion to a cuddly kitten with simple patience and eye-contact, but he tends to be very quiet and reserved when dealing with human beings. His official backstory is that he was separated from his family as a toddler and lived in the wilds for an unspecified amount of time before being adopted by a roving band of mercenaries, so his attitude is more than likely a result of not having a proper upbringing; as shown in the series, he doesn't even seem to have a firm grasp on his own emotions. | |

Poison Ivy from the Batman mythos is a very aggressive example of Type 2. Fellow Bat-villain Catwoman is also a Type 2, though she's more of a "steal from the rich and give to the animals" mindset, and not so much a "Humans Are Bastards and all need to die" one. |

In Brave10, Sasuke was Raised by Wolves and at first seems to be as much of a jerkass as every other ninja character thanks to the Iga-Koga rivalry. It doesn't take long for it to become apparent he is overwhelmingly shy and doesn't know how to take praise or attention and his heart is all gold, even if his interactions can be terse. | |

Valka, Hiccup's mother in How to Train Your Dragon 2. She was already seen as weird when living on Berk as she continually tried to convince the villagers not to fight dragons. It got worse when she lived alone with dragons with twenty years without any human contact. Her first reaction when meeting Hiccup is to challenge him and then crawl up and grab his jaw. Even her early dialogue with Hiccup was quite eccentric. | |

Sousuke from Full Metal Panic!. He gets along way better with animals, and can actually communicate and understand them better than humans. (Especially interesting in the case of Mousuke and Shiro, both of whom he relates to much better than any human in the series.) As for his communication skills with humans... let's just say they're strained at best. Unless you're in the military of course. Then Sousuke will either confortably give you respect and professionalism if you out rank him, or while not terribly chatty be able to hold a friendly conversation about weapons and tactics if you're equal in rank or below him. If you're a civilian however, he generally doesn't know what to do with you. |

N from Pokémon Black and White fits both categories. While he can talk to people, he's certainly not very good at it, and noted to be much worse with anyone other than the protagonist and his two mysterious friends, especially due to his belief that Humans Are Bastards, making him somewhat hostile. If you look closely, his dialogue even appears notably faster than anyone else, which may imply any or a number of social issues. Conversely, he can speak to Pokemon very comfortably and even understand them- a trait all but unique in the universe. This turns out to be justified. In order to create a champion to get rid of trainers, Ghetsis arranged for N to be socially isolated and exposed only to Pokemon who had been abused by humans, rendering N unable to understand or identify with humans and giving him the belief that they all abuse Pokemon. | |

Daine of the The Immortals series starts out as shy and insecure around people, while being very confident and businesslike in her dealings with animals. Thanks to Character Development, she grows in confidence, but retains her innocent outlook and some Country Mouse traits. Stefan, the hostler from Song of the Lioness and Protector of the Small was a type one as well. A valuable ally to both Alanna and Kel, over the years he remained quiet and much preferred his horses to human company. | |

The titular Dan from Dan Vs. may be a complete abrasive jerk to each and every person he meets, but with animals it's a far different story. All it takes for him to release the animals from the animal shelter before it explodes is to catch a glimpse of the puppy dog eyes, and in a later episode he can't even bear to see lobsters killed in a restaurant for dinner. He even bonds with a Tyrannosaurus Rex in one episode. He hates geese, though: | |

Otacon from Metal Gear Solid and its sequels. He's kind to animals, and a genius with machinery, but he's also a socially awkward Shrinking Violet with a tendency to trust the wrong people. (Oddly enough - see Nepeta, Temple Grandin, etc. - Otacon being on the autism spectrum is fairly popular Fanon.) | |

Count D plays the part of the reclusive, soft spoken animal lover, but he's actually very much a type 2; he's just less noisy about it. Like the rest of his family, he has no tolerance for human weakness. Despite the fact that he's the protagonist, and has his fair share of Pet the Dog (well, human) moments with Leon and Chris, he's much more dangerous than most type twos. They're only grouchy, Count D is actually dangerous. Admittedly though, he's not actually human, just masquerading as one. | |

Jotaro Kujo of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is something of an emotionally stunted sourpuss that doesn't quite understand that it's just about impossible for other people to tell what he's thinking, a demeanor that eventually costs him both his marriage and his daughter's respect. However, he's actually rather patient with and fond animals, not only pursuing a career as a marine biologist, but also managing to tolerate the world's most insufferable and foul-tempered Boston terrier, Iggy. | |

Prowl from Transformers Animated; the irony that he is a robot from a world that doesn't have nature is not lost on his companions. It doesn't help that he's The Stoic in general, and most of his non-treehugging time is spend in private meditation or training. Tigatron in Beast Wars was sick of the war and spent most of his time on long-term scouting detail. He had befriended a (real) tiger and when it was caught in a crossfire and killed he swore off war entirely (until he realized that wouldn't stop the destruction.) |

In A Different Kind of Truth, Johnny Joestar is dead center in this trope. He doesn't particularly like talking to anybody, and when he does he's extremely rude and sarcastic. This is perhaps best shown during Johnny's first extended conversation with Yukiko, where Johnny makes no effort in their small talk, gives short and often rude answers, and even tries to get the hell away from Yukiko to end the conversation. | |

Rosethorn from the Circle of Magic universe is a type two. As a green mage, she has a huge garden and all plants love her. She takes care of them including businesslike affection and stern admonitions to calm down and grow properly. At first her only interaction with the students placed in her dormitory is to warn them that if they even breathe on her plants, she'll hang them by their heels in the well. She lightens up slightly when she realizes that Briar has plant magic too, and ropes him into being her apprentice. By the later books, though, she's been outed as a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. | |

Tarzan has openly commented that humans are petty, violent, and talk too much, and much prefers the company of apes. In one novel when he is stricken with a temporary case of speech aphasia he laments that he can no longer talk to apes, but doesn't much care that he can't talk to humans. People who talk too much seemed to be a pet peeve of Tarzan author Edgar Rice Burroughs, as several of his other characters occasionally comment that they hate such people. |

Elphaba from Wicked is snarky and distant even toward her friends, and she has a hard time expressing her feelings (mostly because she is Unable to Cry). On the other hand, she is an active fighter for Animal rights and, later in the book, seems to gain an ability to communicate with various creatures. One of the most prominent examples is Elphaba's journey to the Vinkus, when she travels in one wagon with a monkey, a dog, bees, and crows, and the other travelers (including her own son) have to share a second wagon between themselves. | |

Abby the veterinarian from The Truth About Cats & Dogs - though she deals well with people over the radio and by phone, face to face isn't so easy, especially with romantic interests. Kind of straddles the two types here in that she doesn't have a hard time speaking up for herself or others (e.g. towards her neighbour's abusive boyfriend), but she struggles with more ordinary interactions. Or she is simply insecure about her looks, that's why she is only shy with her Love Interest. |

Satori Komeiji from Touhou: Subterranean Animism could almost pass for a Type One... until she starts bragging about her mind-reading powers. For some reason, other youkai and humans don't like having their innermost thoughts made public knowledge. Animals, however, enjoy having their wants and needs understood, and Satori is indicated to have many pets (including the Stage 5 and Stage 6 bosses, animal youkai who lived with her before they could talk). Yuuka Kazami, the flower youkai, is also generally portrayed as Not Good with People. Canon indicates to some degree that she might be a Type One, but fanon usually portrays her as a more antagonistic, sometimes even sadistic, Type Two. Considering the fact that she once stated that she consideres genocide a game (it was a joke, probably) and on a different occasion responded to accusations that she was the culprit behind the most recent incident with what amounts to "Sure, Let's Go with That" it seems like she actually encourages being percieved as an antagonist. |

The end result is a Type A Tsundere who hates adults, humans, and "progress" with a vengeance — and yet is a Friend to All Living Things who begins to treat Gadgeteer Genius Jean as a friend despite herself.

Katherine from On The Edge Of Eureka. She adores viruses. Yes, the tiny, deadly, barely-alive things that can kill a person horribly in a matter of days. People, on the other hand, are enigmas to her. | |

Fellow Bat-villain Catwoman is also a Type 2, though she's more of a "steal from the rich and give to the animals" mindset, and not so much a "Humans Are Bastards and all need to die" one. | |

Tony Soprano loves animals and animal abusers is a major Berserk Button for him but he has absolutely no problem maiming, torturing or killing someone. This is part of what makes his therapist realize he's an incurable sociopath and sever ties with him. | |

Many autistic people understand and get along with animals almost uncannily well, but have a great deal of difficulty with human interactions. Temple Grandin has made a career out of this. Hence, fictional Christopher Boone of Mark Haddon's novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. | |

The Dragonriders of Pern usually start out as type ones. Their bond with their dragon puts humans a poor second in their hearts, and they become so wrapped up in their reptilian buddies that they become awkward and shy with people. As they grow up, however, and become aware of their privileged status on Pern, a superiority complex kicks in, and many become arrogant or condescending type twos. Subverted with Kylara, whose self-absorbed hedonism leads her to ignore her own dragon to the point of neglect (which leads directly to tragedy later) However, the Type Two riders are usually the more extreme cases (such as Kylara). It would be insane to live with hundreds of insufferably conceited dragonriders, and many of the Weyrfolk genuinely admire them, so it's safe to assume that the average greenrider just gets a boost in confidence and self-assurance. |
