Line 14:
** We also have Nanoha's daughter, Vivio, who was already a title librarian of the Infinity Library at the age of nine.
* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' Nodoka Miyazaki fills this role. She's extremely bookish, wears her hair over her face and works at the school [[The Library of Babel|Library Of Babel]]. [[Lord of the Rings]] is in her top 10 books to have if she is ever stranded on a [[Deserted Island]].
* Yomiko Readman from ''[[
* Levy from ''[[Fairy Tail]]'', though she's more [[Genki Girl]] than shy. Lucy's also a bit of a bookworm.
* Sheska from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. Memorized the whole library, wears glasses and cute as a button.
Line 22:
* Eighth squad lieutenant Nanao Ise from ''[[Bleach]]'' wears glasses in her sleep, carries a book everywhere, scolds her [[Brilliant but Lazy]] captain for slacking off and in return, receives some "[[Chivalrous Pervert|compliments]]" from him. {{spoiler|Her ex-liutenant and now membress of the Visored, Risa Yadomaru, was a [[Hot Librarian]] when in their squad and used to read to young Nanao regularly. She's still a [[Meganekko]], but is more often seen reading porn... er, [[Josei]] manga now.}}
* Shiho from ''[[Naruto]]'' works in Konoha's cryptology department which is filled with books. She seems to be very attractive under her messy hair and thick glasses and has a major crush on Naruto's resident boy genius [[Brilliant but Lazy|Shikamaru]].
* The library worker, Akane, from ''[[
* Iina, Aruto and Kokoro from ''[[Kokoro Library]]'': Why be satisfied with one librarian? These sisters make this trope triple. Just too bad that there usually goes days between the customers of the titular library...
* Mia Kouji/Nasuti Yagyuu from ''[[Ronin Warriors]]'' isn't a 100% bookworm, but she ''is'' the granddaughter and heiress of a dead [[The Professor|university professor]] and handles his research to help the [[Five-Man Band]], so she counts anyway.
* Aine Yukimura from ''[[
* Carol Reed from [[Oke no Monshou]], the cutest archeologist ever.
* Nanako Misonou from ''[[Oniisama
* Shizuku Tsukushima in ''[[Whisper of the Heart]]''. Possibly Seiji too, if he actually read all the books he checked out in hopes of getting Shizuku to notice him.
Line 36:
== Fan Works ==
* Arcanus from the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
== Film ==
* Evey starts out this way in ''[[The Mummy
== Literature ==
* The titular ''[[Matilda (
* [[Harry Potter]] and Ron learn the hard way in ''The Goblet of Fire'' that Hermione [[Beautiful All Along|looks rather cute]] underneath the bushy hair, know-it-all attitude, social awkwardness, and book fetish -- she just finds it to be too much trouble.
* The initial attraction between Betsy Ray and Joe Willard in ''[[Betsy Tacy]]'' hinges on them both being bookworms. Until they're almost engaged, almost all of their interactions involve books in some way.
Line 52:
* Daniel Jackson on ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' starts out as one of these before he [[Took a Level In Badass]]. He's awkward, nerdy, has peek-a-bangs, wears glasses, and stutters when he's nervous. He's also a huge linguistics nerd which leads to him spending a lot of time reading be it books, or the walls of ancient tombs.
* Willow on ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', especially in the first few seasons, is practically the definition of this trope. When she first appears, Cordelia mocks her cloths, joking about having seen the softer side of Sears. She tends to start saying something, then tail off as she realizes thinks that whatever she is saying is weird.
* Annie Edison on ''[[
== Visual Novels ==
* Hiroko in ''[[Yume Miru Kusuri]]'' {{spoiler|which is immensely different from the 'normal' face she presents as Nekoko because her normal life pains her.}}
* Kotomi Ichinose in ''[[
* Hanako in ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]'', though the social isolation is actually due to a complex over her burn scars. The [[Peek-a-Bangs]] part of the trope are also for the same reason. Still a shy, quiet bookworm that covers her face, though.
Line 78:
== Western Animation ==
* Phoebe Heyerdahl from ''[[Hey Arnold]]'' represents many stereotypical "smart girl" tropes ([[Asian and Nerdy]], diminutive size, soft spoken and [[Shrinking Violet|painfully shy]] with [[Meganekko|oval eyeglasses]] and is almost always found reading in the library. Arguably the most intelligent character on the show and was once offered the chance to skip two grade levels. (She gave it a try, but turned it down because she had trouble making new friends.)
* Twilight Sparkle from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* Jeanette from ''[[Alvin and The Chipmunks]]''.
* Library Kid from ''[[Recess]]'' subverts this. She appears to be cute and shy, and is always in the library...but when outside, she's an insane [[Genki Girl]].
** Gretchen could fall under this trope.
* Jinora, one of Aang's three grandchildren from ''[[
