''The Six Bullerby Children'' is a book for children written by Creator/AstridLindgren. It's a set of stories about idyllic life and small adventures of six children who live in rural Sweden in the very small and remote village of Bullerby (Bullerbyn in Swedish). It was originally published in 1947 in Sweden. It has since been translated into many languages and published in many countries.
The village consists of only three lined up houses in which live seven children with their parents and hired help. The book is narrated by a girl Lisa who has two slightly older brothers Lasse and Bosse. She's best friends with Anna and Britta, two sisters who live in the neighbouring house. Olle is an only child from another neighbouring house. Olle later "gets" a little sister Kerstin.
The families do some agriculture work and the children often help working in the fields or taking care of their animals. They play in their gardens, in woods and mountains, by the lake or on small islands and other exciting places. Anna and Britta have a loving grandpa who plays grandpa for all the kids from Bullerby. The children go to school in Storby and they have a good and nice teacher. They are on freindly terms with their hired help. The children sometimes visit Kristin, an old woman who lives alone, and they sometimes cross paths with an evil shoe-maker. There are lots of holiday-themed chapters with parties and celebrations as they celebrate birthdays, Easter, summer solstice, Christmas or New Year's Eve.
Bullerbyn is identical with a small village called Sevedstorp where Lindgren's father grew up.
The book gave name to "Bullerby Syndrome", which is a term referring to an idealization of Sweden. It consists of a stereotypical image of Sweden with positive associations, including easy and simple life, happy community, wooden houses, nature untouched by mankind, clear lakes, green forests, frosty winters and midsummer sunshine.

These books are about six children living in a tiny, remote village in Sweden and are set in the late 1930s
There are no tractors or harvesters but there are cars in the village.
The narrator is a little girl named Lisa; she tells us about her life and adventures in the small and neat Swedish village Bullerby (Bullerbyn in Swedish). The village consists of three lined up houses in which live seven children with their parents and hired help: Lisa with her older brothers Lasse and Bosse, the siblings Britta and Anna, as well as Olle with his little sister Kerstin.
Bullerbyn is identical with a small village called Sevedstorp where Lindgren's father grew up (10 miles from her hometown Vimmerby and the village Näs—the birthplace of Astrid Lindgren).
The Bullerby Syndrome is a term referring to an idealization of Sweden. It consists of a stereotype image of Sweden with usually positive associations, including wooden houses, clear lakes, green forests, happy people and midsummer sunshine.

[[folder:Spoiled Sweet Cleanup]]
SpoiledSweet is a trope that is often misused and suffers from TropeDecay.
There are relatively few examples on the page (about 100), yet it had over 1800 wicks (some misuse was removed, we're now on about 750 wicks).
This trope is problematic because many people believe it automatically makes the character more likeable, but TropesAreTools. A character is not better or worse if this trope is used (or isn't).
!!Basics:
* AlwaysFemale
* Subtrope of IdleRich
* Usually not aristocrats and princesses
* Not small children
[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15724545640A13757200&page=1#comment-1 Link to a cleanup thread.]]
!!What it is
* She's sheltered, pampered, showered with love and attention and material things.
* She's indulged in everything she could ever want. She's doted on by family and friends alike.
* She's naive, optimistic, idealistic and almost always outwardly nice to ''everyone''.
* She might be a bit selfish or condescending.
* She's friendly and quite accustomed to getting her way, even insistent upon it, but is willing to take "No" for an answer if getting her way means hurting others.
* She is often reaching out and she's friendly to those lower in class or who have less money.
* What is sweet? Sweet is always being there with hugs, a shoulder to cry on, kisses. She is likely to ask about other people's emotions. She puts other people's feelings first. She wants to put a smile on a friend's face (ideally everyone's face).
* She's empathetic. She has a naive (but idealistic) belief that ''all'' people are good and wonderful and that she needs to be good and wonderful back.
* Typical plot is that Spoiled Sweet befriends someone poorer or of lower social class (in high school setting someone who is way less cool or not popular enough), and she thinks she can easily make them fit into her sweet upper-class lifestyle or put her on the top of popularity chain... without understanding that it's not that easy or that her behaviour can appear condescending. In high school setting, she's very friendly to stereotypical loser kids.
!!What it's not
* NiceGal and NiceGuy. Separate tropes. More broad than Spoiled Sweet.
* WealthyPhilanthropist: Giving away money and doing charitable things is not absolutely required for Spoiled Sweet. They may overlap though.
* UnclePennybags: Sharing one's wealth and having fun with one's less rich friends is not Spoiled Sweet either. They may overlap though.
* ShelteredAristocrat: Like Spoiled Sweet, they might be naive about 'real life' behind the palace walls but have good intentions. These characters can treat servants and common folks like jerks without really understanding that they're jerks. Usually it's a set up for some development because aristocrats and especially roayls are supposed to care about their subjects and common folks.
* NoblesseOblige -- redirect to RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething. "Noblesse oblige" is generally used to imply that with great wealth, power, and prestige come great responsibility. Royals and aristocrats should behave well and their nobility extends beyond mere entitlements. It requires the person of high status to fulfil social responsibilities. For example, a primary obligation of a nobleman could include generosity towards those around him, including his servants and people who live on his property or rent his land. See also NonIdleRich or ComesGreatResponsibility.
* Small kids: If everything is going well in life, kids ''are'' sheltered and pampered even if the family is fairly poor or if they have average income. Most kids are sweet or portrayed as CheerfulChild. An adorable, nice child loved by his parents is not this trope.
* Boys and young men: There might be exceptions, but men are ''extremely rarely'' portrayed as having that sweet but boring idle rich life and they're never ''that'' pampered. Media tend to code sweetness as very feminine because it shows a lot of weakness and vulnerability.
* LovableAlphaBitch: If she's an AlphaBitch, she doesn't fit.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: If she's a jerk, she doesn't fit.
* SpoiledBrat but downplayed. If she's a brat, she doesn't fit.
* From rich background, but still a nice normal woman. Too broad. Administrivia/NotATrope / Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs.
* Just being rich and not a jerk. Too broad. Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs.
* Spoiled doesn't equal rich. Usually if the character earned their money via hard work, they don't fit.
!!Examples of misuse
Including but not limited to insufficient context, no-context and half-context examples or things that are too vague.
* SpoiledSweet: On his bad days, he'll come off as (particularly) insufferable and bossy SpoiledBrat, particularly towards Saotome. He's still a fairly responsible leader in general.
** Not subtrope of IdleRich, a leader guy, not a female and he comes off as a jerk from the brief description.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Despite being as rich as everyone else in Stone's crew, she is much kinder to Nick than anyone else.
** This trope has a much higher threshold than being kinder to one kid that others who are all horrible to them. It might be a valid example, but there needs to be more context. Being kind to one's special person is not this trope.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Arguably. Her parents are loaded, her adopted brother is royalty, and her husband by his own admission tends to spoil her (because seeing her smile is worth whatever effort it takes). Lydia is nevertheless friendly, well-mannered, kind, and affectionate.
** Administrivia.ExamplesAreNotArguable.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Justified. While he was initially shallow, irresponsible, lazy, and "dramatically over-the-top" due to originally being raised as the only child of his royal family, it's noted that he was deeply loved by his parents, who originally were content with having a son until Rising Sun was born. As a result of his upbringing, he developed a compassionate, empathetic, and open heart and mind. Benevolent influences and proper teaching would later curb the "spoiled" side of him and bring out his "sweet" side more.
** No, no, no. He's from a royal family -- and it's off already. Rulers and princes are supposed to be compassionate and care about their people. It doesn't explain ''how'' he's sweet. It's a rambling example context without actually explaining the trope.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Is nurtured by her parents quite a lot, but is generally a nice kid who shows her affection towards everyone around her.
** The trope is more narrow than this.
----
One character:
* SpoiledBrat: She was thoroughly spoiled by her parents to the point where she often acts like a ''toddler'', instead of her age. She even keeps this attitude while trapped in the school.
* SpoiledSweet: She may be spoiled, but nobody can deny she cares a lot about her brother when she gives him (or tries to, depending on Satoshi's choice) her caramel beads as a good luck charm.
** Okay, she can't be both at once. Pick one. The Spoiled Sweet is probably off because it doesn't concern very small kids (teens and young adults are the most common for Spoiled Sweet). It doesn't even touch the Idle Rich part of the trope.
----
A kid:
* SpoiledBrat: His parents are very rich, and he himself used to be driven to school in a Mercedes in middle school.
* SpoiledSweet: Downplayed. He's too awkward to openly show people he cares, of course, but he doesn't go around bragging about his money or looking down on people for being poor (he does call Kimishita "peasant" on occasion, but that's more because he'll call him [[SitcomArchNemesis anything insulting available]], and he never actually treats him badly for being poor), blushes when people comment on his family's money, and is very generous. At the team barbecue he brings expensive meat that he shares with anyone, he's implied to pay for his teammates' drinks at the beginning of [[spoiler:nationals]] and lets Tsukushi (who buys them) keep the change, and lets his team use his house for their study session.
** PICK ONE. A kid can't be both a brat and Spoiled Sweet. This hints at other tropes like Uncle Pennybags.
----
* SpoiledSweet: "Sweet" isn't the right word to describe Sam, but she's not as spoiled as the other rich girls.
** ZCE and probable misuse
----
* SpoiledSweet: Even when she was at her worst as a diva, she didn't hesitate to save Mizuha from the black pillar created by the Compile at the expense of her own safety.
** zce and likely misuse
----
* SpoiledSweet: Son of a duke, yet one of the most humble and friendly people in the series.
** Being humble has nothing to do with this trope; these Spoiled Sweet gals are not humble; a guy -- Always Female trope.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Unlike his {{Foil}}, Ambrose, Sovoy is a nice guy despite coming from a privileged background and befriends Kvothe. Still, he becomes substantially unpleasant and more of a classical SpoiledBrat whenever he gets drunk.
** Misuse.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Duchess's aristocratic upbringing hasn't dampened her polite, friendly nature.
** Insufficient context
----
* SpoiledSweet: Rich and kind; has no concept of social class differences whatsoever.
** insufficient context
----
* SpoiledSweet: Is a textbook NiceGuy despite his eccentricities.
** ZCE of both Spoiled Sweet and Nice Guy.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Invoked as Santa states his goal is to induce this in children, and is why he gives presents.
-->'''Santa''': So that someday, Mr. Prune, they can learn to give too.
** Misuse; more [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=77433&type=att here]]
----
* SpoiledSweet: The Crown Prince, while generally a noble and righteous character, has clearly never ventured much outside of the Palace. While he is initially replused by the countryside's poverty, it soon dawns upon him how vulnerable the commoners are, and becoming a protector of the peasantry (as opposed to the nobility's generally hostile and classist attitudes) is part of his CharacterDevelopment over the series.
** Textbook ShelteredAristocrat instead.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Unlike Zarya and Piper (who both grew up as {{Street Urchin}}s) or Em (who was merely working for the royal family), Arkayna was raised as a princess in a palace and with all the luxury that implies. As thus, she isn't above acting arrogant or flaunting her royal status from time to time, and have prejudices toward some people (in particular pirates and thieves, which causes her to clash with Zarya initially). Still, she is a good person at heart, and genuinely wishes the best for Drake City.
** Textbook ShelteredAristocrat instead.
----
* SpoiledSweet: He comes from a wealthy family, but is still one of Class 1-B's nicer students. This is deconstructed, as the ''ULTRA ANALYSIS Character Book'' reveals that due to being brought up in a very well-mannered and doting family, he's unable to "throw away all reason" like his hero Hound Dog, which is something he wishes he could do.
** Misuse that doesn't hit the defining traits of Spoiled Sweet
----
* SpoiledSweet: Belinda. Based on a real friend of Pope's, she's shown as having a good, sweet heart under all that lace.
** Zero context.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Rich, privileged, brave and heroic.
** Zero context. Being rich, privileged, brave and heroic are not defining traits of Spoiled Sweet.
----
* SpoiledSweet: As far as someone can be sweet when their childhood was full of abuse and suffering, The Duchess still manages to be a somewhat pleasant person.
** Misuse. Somewhat pleasant is not sweet. She has not been pampered.
----
* SpoiledSweet: His family seems fine with his hobbies in pastry (And openly declares that he wants to be a pastry chef) & manga collectibles, and his cowardly attitude.
** This is so far from the trope... It's not even close.
----
* SpoiledSweet: It's not touched on in the main narrative, but her bio states that her family owned the mining corporations on the Moon, which means that she's loaded. Despite this, she has always been supportive of military personnel and deeply patriotic to Earth (and not in a jingoistic manner), and chose to enlist in the UNSC. She fairly well embodies the ideal of "Service Before Self".
** Insufficient context for the spoiled part -- is she pampered? If so, by whom? The sweet part is not explained either; serving in military for one's country (planet) is not typical for this trope either (too far from the IdleRich).
----
* SpoiledSweet: Her mom's President of the galaxy, in case you didn't know.
** And?
----
* SpoiledSweet: She was the daughter of a rich industrialist, but also a nice girl. Discovered that her beloved father had impoverished workers in his labor farms, she start to protest together with the workers.
** Rich NiceGirl (without context). The second part describes SuffrageAndPoliticalLiberation or some related trope from RebelTropes.
----
* SpoiledSweet: It's obvious Nadia's dad gave her as many advantages as he could and would literally move galactic politics for her. Nadia is very aware of it, and very grateful for it. Helping out the less fortunate and generally being the good guy gains a ''lot'' of approval from her.
** She's a beloved DaddysGirl. The pampered part likely fits. However, there's not enough context for the "sweet", "naive" or "shallow" part. She's probably very idealistic and a truly good person. She probably fits best RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething or NonIdleRich, or ComesGreatResponsibility (believing that she should use her privilege for the good).
----
* ''Franchise/StarWars'': Princess Leia. Despite being royalty she doesn't act stuck up or superior at all, is more than willing to get her hands dirty (RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething), and is generally AMotherToHerMen.
** She misses some of the key things: kinda naive, always kindly and sweet even to people who don't deserve it, probably a bit shallow. The write-up doesn't explain the pampered part. Not all princesses are coddled and spoiled by their loving parents and servants. She can take care of herself and others, and she's far from having a sweet IdleRich life. She's probably a wonderful person and a responsible princess, a leader who takes care of her people. RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething is the fitting trope, or ComesGreatResponsibility.
----
* SpoiledSweet: She's not really different than any other normal girl.
** ZCE and probable misuse.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Lumawig as the once-lost baby of the family. A hot-tempered [[TheCasanova lady-killer]] whose parents never disciplined him, but [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone deeply regretful when he accidentally makes his first wife kill herself,]] and [[BigDamnHeroes he doesn't bat an eye about sailing off to find lost family members.]]
** FlatWhat O_o
----
* SpoiledSweet: The Deku Princess can boss around her own father and intimidate her subjects like a typical spoiled princess, but she's still a nice girl who went out of her way to brave a dangerous dungeon to cure the swamp of its poisonous water and only lashed out at her father and subjects because they were about to punish an innocent person. She also lacks the FantasticRacism of the others; while they will only let fellow Deku Scrubs into the palace and are implied to be eager to punish the monkey in part for being a non-Deku, she is a close friend and ally of the monkey who also politely refers to Link as "Mr. Link" regardless of what form he takes.
** Sounds like RebelliousPrincess.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Even though by the beginning of the game she is little more than a NEET[[note]]'''N'''ot Currently Engaged in '''E'''ducation, '''E'''mployment or '''T'''raining; American name for hikikomori[[/note]] and a freeloader with a really rich daddy, she is very brave, smart, kind and helpful.
** Insufficient context.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Unlike her husband Luke, Hannah is amicable to Isabella and her friends. She's also the only person who can enter a romantic relationship with Zach. You also learn in Marianne's chapter that Hannah donated enough money to a shelter to keep it open for several more years.
** NiceGirl + WealthyPhilanthropist
----
* SpoiledSweet: Arguably the biggest GirlGroup UsefulNotes/SouthKorea has ever had and, despite the immense success, they're still very much a bunch of dorky women who are always said to be extremely polite and nice.
** Administrivia.ExamplesAreNotArguable; plus it's troping real life.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Despite being rich kids, they also do some charitable works such as Dorothy and Morgan holding a blood drive in the show's pilot, Jonny participates on a LGBT Campaign, and EJ participates on a Gay Pride.
** Doing charitable things is not the only requirement for this trope.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Despite being a DeadpanSnarker, and the richest character in the series, he is incredibly empathetic, often looking in the best interest of Jack, Declan, and Emily.
** Snarkers are usually annoying and cynical; he's rich, but is he sheltered or pampered?
----
* SpoiledSweet: A downplayed example since an AxCrazy girl who's a villain in most of her appearances isn't truly "sweet", but she's nonetheless [[AffablyEvil affable when she doesn't do villainous things]], always polite, and hasn't let her wealthy, powerful background get to her head (she became villainous for other reasons).
** By downplayed trope, we mean not an actual example.

* ShelteredAristocrat: Like Spoiled Sweet, they might be naive about 'real life' behind the palace walls but have good intentions. These characters can treat servants and common folks like jerks without really understanding that they're jerks. Usually it's a set up for some development because aristocrats and especially roayls are supposed to care about their subjects and common folks.
* NoblesseOblige -- redirect to RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething. "Noblesse oblige" is generally used to imply that with great wealth, power, and prestige come great responsibility. Royals and aristocrats should behave well and their nobility extends beyond mere entitlements. It requires the person of high status to fulfil social responsibilities. For example, a primary obligation of a nobleman could include generosity towards those around him, including his servants and people who live on his property or rent his land. See also NonIdleRich or ComesGreatResponsibility.
* Small kids: If everything is going well in life, kids ''are'' sheltered and pampered even if the family is fairly poor or if they have average income. Most kids are sweet or portrayed as CheerfulChild. An adorable, nice child loved by his parents is not this trope.
* Boys and young men: There might be exceptions, but men are ''extremely rarely'' portrayed as having that sweet but boring idle rich life and they're never ''that'' pampered. Media tend to code sweetness as very feminine because it shows a lot of weakness and vulnerability.
* LovableAlphaBitch: If she's an AlphaBitch, she doesn't fit.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: If she's a jerk, she doesn't fit.
* SpoiledBrat but downplayed. If she's a brat, she doesn't fit.
* From rich background, but still a nice normal woman. Too broad. Administrivia/NotATrope / Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs.
* Just being rich and not a jerk. Too broad. Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs.
* Spoiled doesn't equal rich. Usually if the character earned their money via hard work, they don't fit.
!!Examples of misuse
Including but not limited to insufficient context, no-context and half-context examples or things that are too vague.
* SpoiledSweet: On his bad days, he'll come off as (particularly) insufferable and bossy SpoiledBrat, particularly towards Saotome. He's still a fairly responsible leader in general.
** Not subtrope of IdleRich, a leader guy, not a female and he comes off as a jerk from the brief description.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Despite being as rich as everyone else in Stone's crew, she is much kinder to Nick than anyone else.
** This trope has a much higher threshold than being kinder to one kid that others who are all horrible to them. It might be a valid example, but there needs to be more context. Being kind to one's special person is not this trope.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Arguably. Her parents are loaded, her adopted brother is royalty, and her husband by his own admission tends to spoil her (because seeing her smile is worth whatever effort it takes). Lydia is nevertheless friendly, well-mannered, kind, and affectionate.
** Administrivia.ExamplesAreNotArguable.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Justified. While he was initially shallow, irresponsible, lazy, and "dramatically over-the-top" due to originally being raised as the only child of his royal family, it's noted that he was deeply loved by his parents, who originally were content with having a son until Rising Sun was born. As a result of his upbringing, he developed a compassionate, empathetic, and open heart and mind. Benevolent influences and proper teaching would later curb the "spoiled" side of him and bring out his "sweet" side more.
** No, no, no. He's from a royal family -- and it's off already. Rulers and princes are supposed to be compassionate and care about their people. It doesn't explain ''how'' he's sweet. It's a rambling example context without actually explaining the trope.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Is nurtured by her parents quite a lot, but is generally a nice kid who shows her affection towards everyone around her.
** The trope is more narrow than this.
----
One character:
* SpoiledBrat: She was thoroughly spoiled by her parents to the point where she often acts like a ''toddler'', instead of her age. She even keeps this attitude while trapped in the school.
* SpoiledSweet: She may be spoiled, but nobody can deny she cares a lot about her brother when she gives him (or tries to, depending on Satoshi's choice) her caramel beads as a good luck charm.
** Okay, she can't be both at once. Pick one. The Spoiled Sweet is probably off because it doesn't concern very small kids (teens and young adults are the most common for Spoiled Sweet). It doesn't even touch the Idle Rich part of the trope.
----
A kid:
* SpoiledBrat: His parents are very rich, and he himself used to be driven to school in a Mercedes in middle school.
* SpoiledSweet: Downplayed. He's too awkward to openly show people he cares, of course, but he doesn't go around bragging about his money or looking down on people for being poor (he does call Kimishita "peasant" on occasion, but that's more because he'll call him [[SitcomArchNemesis anything insulting available]], and he never actually treats him badly for being poor), blushes when people comment on his family's money, and is very generous. At the team barbecue he brings expensive meat that he shares with anyone, he's implied to pay for his teammates' drinks at the beginning of [[spoiler:nationals]] and lets Tsukushi (who buys them) keep the change, and lets his team use his house for their study session.
** PICK ONE. A kid can't be both a brat and Spoiled Sweet. This hints at other tropes like Uncle Pennybags.
----
* SpoiledSweet: "Sweet" isn't the right word to describe Sam, but she's not as spoiled as the other rich girls.
** ZCE and probable misuse
----
* SpoiledSweet: Even when she was at her worst as a diva, she didn't hesitate to save Mizuha from the black pillar created by the Compile at the expense of her own safety.
** zce and likely misuse
----
* SpoiledSweet: Son of a duke, yet one of the most humble and friendly people in the series.
** Being humble has nothing to do with this trope; these Spoiled Sweet gals are not humble; a guy -- Always Female trope.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Unlike his {{Foil}}, Ambrose, Sovoy is a nice guy despite coming from a privileged background and befriends Kvothe. Still, he becomes substantially unpleasant and more of a classical SpoiledBrat whenever he gets drunk.
** Misuse.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Duchess's aristocratic upbringing hasn't dampened her polite, friendly nature.
** Insufficient context
----
* SpoiledSweet: Rich and kind; has no concept of social class differences whatsoever.
** insufficient context
----
* SpoiledSweet: Is a textbook NiceGuy despite his eccentricities.
** ZCE of both Spoiled Sweet and Nice Guy.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Invoked as Santa states his goal is to induce this in children, and is why he gives presents.
-->'''Santa''': So that someday, Mr. Prune, they can learn to give too.
** Misuse; more [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=77433&type=att here]]
----
* SpoiledSweet: The Crown Prince, while generally a noble and righteous character, has clearly never ventured much outside of the Palace. While he is initially replused by the countryside's poverty, it soon dawns upon him how vulnerable the commoners are, and becoming a protector of the peasantry (as opposed to the nobility's generally hostile and classist attitudes) is part of his CharacterDevelopment over the series.
** Textbook ShelteredAristocrat instead.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Unlike Zarya and Piper (who both grew up as {{Street Urchin}}s) or Em (who was merely working for the royal family), Arkayna was raised as a princess in a palace and with all the luxury that implies. As thus, she isn't above acting arrogant or flaunting her royal status from time to time, and have prejudices toward some people (in particular pirates and thieves, which causes her to clash with Zarya initially). Still, she is a good person at heart, and genuinely wishes the best for Drake City.
** Textbook ShelteredAristocrat instead.
----
* SpoiledSweet: He comes from a wealthy family, but is still one of Class 1-B's nicer students. This is deconstructed, as the ''ULTRA ANALYSIS Character Book'' reveals that due to being brought up in a very well-mannered and doting family, he's unable to "throw away all reason" like his hero Hound Dog, which is something he wishes he could do.
** Misuse that doesn't hit the defining traits of Spoiled Sweet
----
* SpoiledSweet: Belinda. Based on a real friend of Pope's, she's shown as having a good, sweet heart under all that lace.
** Zero context.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Rich, privileged, brave and heroic.
** Zero context. Being rich, privileged, brave and heroic are not defining traits of Spoiled Sweet.
----
* SpoiledSweet: As far as someone can be sweet when their childhood was full of abuse and suffering, The Duchess still manages to be a somewhat pleasant person.
** Misuse. Somewhat pleasant is not sweet. She has not been pampered.
----
* SpoiledSweet: His family seems fine with his hobbies in pastry (And openly declares that he wants to be a pastry chef) & manga collectibles, and his cowardly attitude.
** This is so far from the trope... It's not even close.
----
* SpoiledSweet: It's not touched on in the main narrative, but her bio states that her family owned the mining corporations on the Moon, which means that she's loaded. Despite this, she has always been supportive of military personnel and deeply patriotic to Earth (and not in a jingoistic manner), and chose to enlist in the UNSC. She fairly well embodies the ideal of "Service Before Self".
** Insufficient context for the spoiled part -- is she pampered? If so, by whom? The sweet part is not explained either; serving in military for one's country (planet) is not typical for this trope either (too far from the IdleRich).
----
* SpoiledSweet: Her mom's President of the galaxy, in case you didn't know.
** And?
----
* SpoiledSweet: She was the daughter of a rich industrialist, but also a nice girl. Discovered that her beloved father had impoverished workers in his labor farms, she start to protest together with the workers.
** Rich NiceGirl (without context). The second part describes SuffrageAndPoliticalLiberation or some related trope from RebelTropes.
----
* SpoiledSweet: It's obvious Nadia's dad gave her as many advantages as he could and would literally move galactic politics for her. Nadia is very aware of it, and very grateful for it. Helping out the less fortunate and generally being the good guy gains a ''lot'' of approval from her.
** She's a beloved DaddysGirl. The pampered part likely fits. However, there's not enough context for the "sweet", "naive" or "shallow" part. She's probably very idealistic and a truly good person. She probably fits best RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething or NonIdleRich, or ComesGreatResponsibility (believing that she should use her privilege for the good).
----
* ''Franchise/StarWars'': Princess Leia. Despite being royalty she doesn't act stuck up or superior at all, is more than willing to get her hands dirty (RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething), and is generally AMotherToHerMen.
** She misses some of the key things: kinda naive, always kindly and sweet even to people who don't deserve it, probably a bit shallow. The write-up doesn't explain the pampered part. Not all princesses are coddled and spoiled by their loving parents and servants. She can take care of herself and others, and she's far from having a sweet IdleRich life. She's probably a wonderful person and a responsible princess, a leader who takes care of her people. RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething is the fitting trope, or ComesGreatResponsibility.
----
* SpoiledSweet: She's not really different than any other normal girl.
** ZCE and probable misuse.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Lumawig as the once-lost baby of the family. A hot-tempered [[TheCasanova lady-killer]] whose parents never disciplined him, but [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone deeply regretful when he accidentally makes his first wife kill herself,]] and [[BigDamnHeroes he doesn't bat an eye about sailing off to find lost family members.]]
** FlatWhat O_o
----
* SpoiledSweet: The Deku Princess can boss around her own father and intimidate her subjects like a typical spoiled princess, but she's still a nice girl who went out of her way to brave a dangerous dungeon to cure the swamp of its poisonous water and only lashed out at her father and subjects because they were about to punish an innocent person. She also lacks the FantasticRacism of the others; while they will only let fellow Deku Scrubs into the palace and are implied to be eager to punish the monkey in part for being a non-Deku, she is a close friend and ally of the monkey who also politely refers to Link as "Mr. Link" regardless of what form he takes.
** Sounds like RebelliousPrincess.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Even though by the beginning of the game she is little more than a NEET[[note]]'''N'''ot Currently Engaged in '''E'''ducation, '''E'''mployment or '''T'''raining; American name for hikikomori[[/note]] and a freeloader with a really rich daddy, she is very brave, smart, kind and helpful.
** Insufficient context.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Unlike her husband Luke, Hannah is amicable to Isabella and her friends. She's also the only person who can enter a romantic relationship with Zach. You also learn in Marianne's chapter that Hannah donated enough money to a shelter to keep it open for several more years.
** NiceGirl + WealthyPhilanthropist
----
* SpoiledSweet: Arguably the biggest GirlGroup UsefulNotes/SouthKorea has ever had and, despite the immense success, they're still very much a bunch of dorky women who are always said to be extremely polite and nice.
** Administrivia.ExamplesAreNotArguable; plus it's troping real life.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Despite being rich kids, they also do some charitable works such as Dorothy and Morgan holding a blood drive in the show's pilot, Jonny participates on a LGBT Campaign, and EJ participates on a Gay Pride.
** Doing charitable things is not the only requirement for this trope.
----
* SpoiledSweet: Despite being a DeadpanSnarker, and the richest character in the series, he is incredibly empathetic, often looking in the best interest of Jack, Declan, and Emily.
** Snarkers are usually annoying and cynical; he's rich, but is he sheltered or pampered?
----
* SpoiledSweet: A downplayed example since an AxCrazy girl who's a villain in most of her appearances isn't truly "sweet", but she's nonetheless [[AffablyEvil affable when she doesn't do villainous things]], always polite, and hasn't let her wealthy, powerful background get to her head (she became villainous for other reasons).
** By downplayed trope, we mean not an actual example.

* Characters.ASongOfIceAndFireOtherWesterosi: Ramsey's mother. Her first husband was twice her age. Not that it mattered, since he was dead soon after.
* Characters.AmericasNextTopModelCycleEight: She was 18 when she married her 40-year-old husband. It is implied that she's a MailOrderBride.
* ComicBook/OraCle: DependingOnTheAuthor:
** In the 60s, she was at least seven years older than [[ComicBook/{{Robin}} Dick Grayson]]. However, it wasn't until the 90s (after ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'') when Creator/DCComics began to seriously push the Grayson-Gordon relationship, where her age is implied to be much closer to that of Dick's, due to them being ChildhoodFriends. In Batgirl: Year One, she seems to be 2-3 years older, at most.
** She has now been retconned to the same age as him thanks to Comicbook/{{Flashpoint}}. They were already about the same age in earlier works such as Batman: TAS.
* Fanfic.BetweenMyBrotherAndMe: Played for drama. Raphael is at least in his 20's, and May is 10 years old. Raphael is obsessed with her only because she looks like his supposed savior. May, naturally, doesn't understand what is going on and is freaked out at the whole idea. Still, it doesn't stop Raphael from continuing to pursue a lover at least half his age.
* Fanfic.AllYouNeedIsLove: Naomi is ten years older than Light.
* Fanfic.MrAndMrsGold: As Belle and Rumpelstiltskin, she is in her early twenties while he is literally hundreds of years old. As Rose and Mr. Gold, Emma was sure that he was her father or father-in-law before she saw them kiss. Emma even once refers to Mr. Gold as a “cradle-robber.”
* Film.BloodWork: When this movie was made Eastwood was 72 and Wanda DeJesus, who played Graciela, was 45. Reviewers singled out the romance plot thread as one of the weaker points in the film (in the novel, McCaleb is 46).
* Film.MAnhattan: Ike (42) and Tracy (17).
* Friends.TropesKToO: The show had the episode "The One With The Rumor", where it was revealed that Ross made out with his librarian in high school, she was 33 years older than him. Not really a Romance ''Relationship'', though.
* KimPossible/TropesMToR: Drakken and Shego. He's the same as Kim's father (his early 40s), while Shego is somewhere in her twenties by the series' end.

* Characters.AndThenThereWereNone: Implied among him and Leslie, which explains why she ultimately turned to a much younger man.
