Frequently depicted as having an inherent superiority in morality, ethics or common sense compared to the people around her. Often used as an authorial voice to deliver An Aesop, or simply to provide a contrast to the "sophisticated" people with whom she lives or works. The female Country Mouse often becomes the target of the Rich Bitch. Frequently overlaps with Naive Newcomer. Compare with City Mouse and The City vs. the Country when this is an actual plot.

abstract
  • A quiet character, from a rural location, commonly Arcadia, often found as a Fish Out of Water in the Big City. Frequently depicted as having an inherent superiority in morality, ethics or common sense compared to the people around her. Often used as an authorial voice to deliver An Aesop, or simply to provide a contrast to the "sophisticated" people with whom she lives or works. On the first arrival at the city, may be dazzled by the luxury of city life. Welcome to the Big City or discovering the shallowness of the Life of the Party will soon cure her; in a single story, she will wisely head back to the countryside, or tragically die, trapped by disease, pregnancy, or despair, but in a continuing one, she will mature into the level-headed version. The female Country Mouse often becomes the target of the Rich Bitch. Frequently overlaps with Naive Newcomer. Compare with City Mouse and The City vs. the Country when this is an actual plot. Contrast Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense. This term and City Mouse derive from Aesop's Fables, making it Older Than Feudalism. Examples of Country Mouse include:
