Although that also means immature in a lot of cases. In fiction, it's often the girliest or brattiest woman who still has them. In RealLife Japan, some women carry them around to try to remain {{Kawaiiko}} for fear of becoming an OldMaid.

* [[CreepyChild Anju]] from ''Manga/{{Karin}}'' adorns her whole room with various stuffed dolls running the gambit of many various forms- stuffed animals among them. All of them have some demonic spirit inhabiting them. She never goes anywhere without [[CreepyDoll Boogie]], who acts as her familiar. Boogie himself contains the spirit of a psycho serial killer and separating either one from the other is '''NOT''' a good idea.

* In the early chapters of ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', Negi ventures to the lair of Evangeline, an ancient Vampire and infamous 600-year-old mass-murderer (with the appearance of a 10-year-old little girl) at the request of her servant Chachamaru, to look after her after she caught the flu. To his surprise, instead of a cobweb-covered catacomb littered with skulls, he finds a brightly beautiful room filled with adorable toy animals and glowing with warm innocence. This is a glimpse into the psyche of Evangeline (who was turned into an immortal at ''ten''), hinting that she ''still'' wants to be an innocent and happy little girl again in spite of living six centuries of blood, violence, cynicism, and hate. [[spoiler:Luna aka Shiori]] carried a plush rabbit as a little girl. Seen during [[spoiler: the flashback where Fate, her master, recruits her comrade Homura.]] Nodoka also has a stuffed rabbit thing that serves as her backpack.

* ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'': Meilin Lee has a shelf-full of stuffed animals in her bedroom.

* Jupiel in ''VideoGame/TheAwakenedFateUltimatum'' has a bad case of this. Her room is packed with stuffed animals and at one point after she is released from solitary confinement, the first thing she does it to go straight for comfort in her stuffed animals. This is followed up with an argument with Ariael about whether her behavior of talking to the stuffed animals is normal.
* If you successfully recruit Karlach in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'' in her tent in camp you can see she has a Teddy Bear called Clive. Karlach is a rough, potty mouthed [[TheLadette Ladette]] but has a very [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak sweet vulnerable side]] that Clive hints at.

Though in the case of Edelgard, her more vulnerable sides are kept hidden from most people.

* Maria Ushiromiya in ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' is a [[CreepyChild dark]] take on this. If you're wondering why you haven't seen anything like this, it's because [[spoiler:[[AbusiveParents her mother Rosa]] tore up the stuffed lion she loved and [[ImaginaryFriend constantly talked to]], Sakutaro. With the loss of said lion, poor Maria started to get both angrier and creepier, as can be seen from the progressively darker entries in her journal.]] This did not end well. However, in the same series there's a more light-hearted take on the trope: while Sakutaro does not appear as a stuffed animal to the Seven Sisters of Purgatory (rather, he has the appearance of a cute little boy with lion ears wearing an oversized shirt), they still adore him and always glomp him every chance they get.

She orders Marigold (aka [[spoiler:Marinette with the Bee Miraculous]]), to go after Tikki, invoking this trope by claiming Kagami stole her "very important plushie". Marigold doesn't buy it, knowing that the "plushie" is actually Tikki and [[[RightForTheWrongReasons that Chloe had her because she stole her from Scarlet Lady]]. Played straight with numerous female characters, as Marinette, Chloe, and several others are shown keeping stuffed animals in their rooms.
