Working Title: The Man with No Ego: From YKTTW
Annwyd: Yanked these two:
- Lucrezia Noin of Gundam Wing is considered a doormat among fans because of her absolute obedience to Milliardo Peacecraft, never questioning his actions and being his trustworthy follower no matter which side he's on. She even goes so far believing in his return after his fake death at the ende of the series
- Zoe from Firefly. She unquestioningly obeys The Captain even when it annoys her husband, and rarely shows emotion while skillfully kicking nine kinds of ass.
- It should be pointed out, though, that she shows plenty of emotion and development when she's interacting with Wash.
Because this trope, as far as I understand, is not about characters who are unquestioningly loyal to one specific character even when it seems questionable. It's about characters who will let just about anybody take advantage of them because they have no personality of their own. And neither Noin nor Zoe fit that description at all. Noin is a little arguable if you take the tack that an Extreme Doormat is someone whose sole purpose for being is one other person, but that really doesn't seem to be the case.

Orihime: Yanked this:
- Kyoko from Katekyo Hitman Reborn, the Shallow Love Interest for Tsuna. Pretty much the only aspects of her personality that are really known are that she's a "nice" and "good" person, and loves her brother. This results in numerous fans pairing Tsuna with any and every male character in the series.
Less about Extreme Doormat, more about very obvious Die for Our Ship and Het Is Ew.
