Sometimes the blush even goes past the edge of their cheek and sits half on their cheek and half in the air.
A character may have one or two
Expect these characters to be prone to the [[Crush Blush]].

* Niea and Karna from ''[[
* Maggie Mui in ''[[
* Brain damage-induced [[Split Personality]] [[Moe|Nyu]] from ''[[Elfen Lied]]'' has been spotted with these. Blush Stickers on [[Kill All Humans|Lucy]], on the other hand, is [[Perpetual Frowner|likely one of the]] [[Slasher Smile|signs of the apocalypse]].

Much like Fai's example earlier in the chapter, it seems to be a sign of boyish mischief more than anything else.
* [[Digimon Xros Wars:
* ''[[The Idolmaster (anime)|The Idolmaster]]'': Miki during the ''Live for You'' OVA.
* Shiranui in ''[[Medaka Box]]''.
* in ''[[One Piece]]'' Mr. 2 has these all the time, even when he isn't wearing makeup, leading many to believe that it's natural.
* Of all people in ''[[Aria]] the Natural'', Alicia - the [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] of the cast - gets them when she's complimented by "Grandma". Mind you, it ''was'' in a flashback scene to the first time Alicia was allowed to scull a gondola.
