Name of classic MC protective personality type?


What is someone who is protective of another character enough to get hurt for
them called? Pretty much all MCs in anime with fighting but I wanna know a
specific name. Like Naruto protecting his friends or Thor from Absolute Duo
protecting Julie and vice versa.




This is what they call, a [hero](http://tvtropes.org/Main/TheHero). Or as not
all MC's are hero's the
[Protagonist](http://tvtropes.org/Main/TheProtagonist). They tend to [take the
bullet](http://tvtropes.org/Main/TakingTheBullet), make the [heroic
sacrifice](http://tvtropes.org/Main/HeroicSacrifice) and until their [plot
driven armor](http://tvtropes.org/Main/StoryDrivenInvulnerability) worn out,
they will keep doing so.
