In Love Live!, Nishikino Maki is probably the most mature among the first years. However, she still believes in Santa! That gap between being mature and believing in something a child (and child at heart) would only believe, if you feel moe about that, THAT is gap moe.
The linked discussion gives a few more examples:
A tomboy showing off feministic characteristics (Ex: Tsugumi from Nisekoi)A tough guy who is actually a pacifist (Ex: Cromartie High School)A stubborn perfectionist who finally admits defeat (Ex: Sasuke from Naruto)A character that almost always dresses flashy but decides to lớn dress normal (Kuroneko from Oreimo)
