| - Character A is in servitude to character B, but doesn't want freedom, and is Not Brainwashed. There are three types of this: 1.
* A is appreciated and rewarded by B and stays loyal because of this, however they still either cannot leave or cannot imagine leaving. Can overlap with Property of Love. 2.
* A is treated like dirt by B, but is still loyal, due to a debt of gratitude, masochism, hope for reciprocation on B's part (e.g. The Igor, The Renfield, Love Martyr, Mad Love), suffers from Stockholm Syndrome, or simply doesn't know any better. 3.
* A belongs to a species whose Hat is Happiness in Slavery, or they both belong to a culture with a Fantastic Caste System or it's inherent in their psyche, needing to have a Master, one way or another no matter what.

Also note that this can technically be applied to any Mon series where the mons are intelligent (leading to the occasional brutal Deconstruction). Compare Freedom From Choice. Examples of Happiness in Slavery include:
