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.

Name of classic MC protective personality type?


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.
