Line 56:
* Natsume's mother from ''[[Master of Martial Hearts]]''. Your average MILF, [[Stepford Smiler|caring and lovely]]. Mute due to an unspecified accident in the past, she communicates by [[Hand Signs|sign language]], using her kids as a proxy. Subverted as {{spoiler|her unspecified accident gets [[The Reveal|revealed]]. She's actually a former [[Action Girl]], who after losing a [[Street Fighter]] expy tournament got [[Disproportionate Retribution|her voice box torn out, her personality mindraped into total obedience, AND was sold into sexual slavery]]. Since then, her whole life had been an attempt to regain a semblance of normality and hatch a complicate [[Revenge by Proxy]] involving her offsprings and the daughter of her captors}}.
* [[Played for Drama]] in [[Bleach]], when {{spoiler|[[Creepy Child|Yukio]] was [http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/471/3 rejected by his parents] because he couldn't speak.}} As years pass {{spoiler|he}} begins to talk normally, but the psychological consequences have completely screwed {{spoiler|him}} up... {{spoiler|enough to accept Ginjou's offer and become a Fullbringer.}}
* The title character of ''[[Komi Can't Communicate]]'' embodies this Trope. A [[Shrinking Violet]] with [[No Social Skills]], she's [[So Beautiful It's a Curse]], in that she's too distant and withdrawn to ever let any of her admirers (as in, every boy in the school) get close. She ''can'' talk if she has to, but throughout the whole series, has only done so a handful of times.
== Comic Books ==
* [[Batman|Batgirl]] Cassandra Cain.
* Also DC-related is Jericho from the [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]. Though male and fluent in American sign language, he is quite adorable. His role on the team is much bigger in the comic than the [[Teen Titans (animation)|cartoon]], where he only joins the [[Final Battle]] with the other classic Titans. But in the comic, he is the son of Deathstroke (Slade, who actually loved his son like a normal father), and had a relationship with Raven. Sadly, his cuteness eroded after he underwent a [[Face Heel Turn]], driven insane by his mutant power of possession.
* [[Dark Action Girl]] Miho in ''[[Sin City]]'', a coldly beautiful assassin who never speaks.
== Film - Animated ==
Line 155 ⟶ 156:
* ''Claudia'', from ''[[Castlevania: Lords of Shadow]]''. Cute and innocent as the trope allows. She can't speak, but she can use telepathy to express herself. And she does. A lot.
* ''[[Dark Souls]]'' has Anastacia of Astora, one of the world's important firekeepers. For unknown but likely horrible reasons, her tongue was cut out. There is a way to restore her ability to speak, but even then she considers it sinful.
* Zigzagged with Sona from ''[[League of Legends]]''. Clearly very beautiful, she seems unable to speak in-game, never conversing with other characters. The player can hear her inner monologues however (as in, her thoughts) and her voice, like her music and Sona herself, is lovely. Also quite a [[Silent Snarker]].
== Visual Novels ==
Line 170 ⟶ 172:
* [[Little Dee]] from the eponymous comic. She's young, but not ''that'' young.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130513231934/http://www.amyachronicles.com/archives/223 Faye Eolande] from [[Amya|Amya Chronicles]] is so much this that she must carry paper and pen with her, and apparently loves visiting the odd stationary shop to get more.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20110822185949/http://www.desperateangels.com/?page_id=266 Glory] from [https://web.archive.org/web/20111017123844/http://www.desperateangels.com/?p=6 Desparate Angels].
* Violet from [[Voices]] only communicates by projecting text with her [[Psychic Powers|ability.]]
* ''[[Bittersweet Candy Bowl]]'', Amaya never talks for us. [[Subverted|Apparently, she can talk, though]]. Still cute.
