A character (usually [[Badass]]) who can always be seen with a serious upside-down smile, even in the most pleasant of situations. Though it can be compared to [[The Stoic]], '''Perpetual Frowner''' differs in the simple fact that rather than wearing a face of indifference, the character perpetually expresses the biggest, ugliest frown he or she can make on their face.

{{examples}}
== Anime
* Jotaro Kujo from ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jojo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' never smiles even once throughout the series. And considering [[Long Runner|how long it's been going on]], that's saying something.
* Giichi from ''[[Blade of the Immortal]]''. Admittedly, he has good reasons to never smile.
Line 29 ⟶ 31:
* Among several others, Tien, Piccolo and Vegeta were the three biggest Perpetual Frowners in ''[[Dragonball Z]]''. The only things they did with their arms were punching, lifting, push-ups and crossing over the chest. Though Vegeta does crack a smile every now and then in the form of an arrogant smirk (and the occasional [[Psychotic Smirk|evil grin]] during his scenes as a villain).
** Piccolo got the occasional grin as well, mainly when interacting with Gohan - even with the eyebrows up at least once (during his death in DBZ.) Vegeta, however, had somehow managed to master scowling even when asleep or unconscious.
* Mugen on ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'' always has a nasty, twisted, "
** Jin, as well.
* Kaiser Ryo of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''. Oddly enough, his [[Face Heel Turn]] to Hell Kaiser caused him to ''smile''... [[Slasher Smile|evilly, with a touch of insanity]].
Line 43 ⟶ 45:
* Tetsuma Jou, receiver for the Seibu Wild Gunmen from ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'', has had a permanent serious frown on his face from (at least) the tender age of four. Although he did once adopt an expression of raging, unholy killing intent when {{spoiler|Gaou [[Berserk Button|broke Kid's arm]],}} if that counts as a change.
* Thorfinn from ''[[Vinland Saga]]'', when he does smile, those smiles are rather....vicious.
* Germany and Sweden from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' rarely smile, though not because they're unhappy. Hong Kong may be [[Emotionless Girl|a straighter example]], and Belarus mixes this with [[
** [[It Runs in The Family|Of the few blood-related siblings]] in [[Axis Powers Hetalia|Hetalia]], [[Deadpan Snarker|Norway]] and [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Ice]][[Kuudere|land]] both tend to frown and have never been shown smiling.
** [[Inscrutable Oriental|Japan]] too. While it's more of [[The Stoic|a blank expression]] than a frown and he has smiled once or twice, it's noticeable enough that one manga strip revolved around Italy trying to get Japan to smile and failing.
Line 150 ⟶ 152:
{{quote|'''Naesala:''' Where's that stone-faced sidekick of yours?
'''Micaiah:''' He's just hesitant to show his emotions. }}
** I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Ike. He even scares Sothe when they first meet in ''Path of Radiance''. Sanaki also [[
{{quote|'''Ike''': I'm here. What do you want?
'''Sanaki''': Hmph. Don't look so sour.
Line 238 ⟶ 240:
** Not surprisingly, Zuko's [[Emotionless Girl|emotionless girlfriend]], Mai, also fits. Interestingly enough, the only times they seem genuinely happy are when they're together. This is likely a result of Mai's listlessness and Zuko's angst canceling each other out.
* Raven in ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]''.
* Mandy in ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy
* Eva the "Female Bully" from ''[[Total Drama Island]]'' rarely smiles.
* The adorable but angsty Buttercup of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''.
