Line 76:
== Live Action TV ==
* One episode of ''[[Highlander (TV series)|Highlander]]'' features an immortal with the body of a ten-year-old boy. He uses his seeming innocence to get close to other immortals, and then takes their heads when they aren't looking.
* Michelle Tanner on ''[[Full House]]'' fits this trope to a T during her toddler years--it's even [[Lampshaded]] by her uncles a few times. When she grows older the role gets filled by twins Nicky and Alex.
* In the ''[[Criminal Minds]]'' episode "Safe Haven", the UnSub is a thirteen-year-old who gets his victims to trust him by being cute and appearing vulnerable.
* In ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]'', Malcolm and his brothers often accuse Dewey of being a Deliberately Cute Child.
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
Line 91:
* Though adult, Kalki from ''[[Drowtales]]'' really pushes the borders of cutesy behaviour. She's probably trying to avoid being associated with the mass slaughter she took part in some years back.
* Autumn of ''[[Precocious (Webcomic)|Precocious]]'' uses a schoolgirl uniform to try to invoke this in others. Dionne is also said to do this when enrolled a beauty pageant; off the clock, she prefers her throne of bones.
* ''[[Eerie Cuties]]'' got Tia - a demon kid who helped herself to portal (when Chloe got transferred to Hell and girls tried to summon her back) and then sort of stuck around. However, she got cute looks, but not much of an act, because she really ''is'' a brat. When she used magic to reduce Laura to child-like shape, Laura retaliated... by visiting nearby [[Elegant Gothic Lolita|"The Trendy Loli"]] shop to style herself over the top adorable and then acting accordingly, so that she could outcompete Tia in this niche.
Line 109 ⟶ 110:
* Claire from ''[[Titan Maximum]]'' is a twenty-one year old, who looks eight, but she also talks and acts eight, complete with an obsession for cuteness, and using words such as "sowwy". She's also an expert assassin.
* Wilykat and Wilykit in ''[[Thundercats 2011|ThunderCats (2011)]]'' are [[Catfolk]] [[Cute Kitten|kittens]], depicted as a pair of [[Artful Dodger|Artful Dodgers]] who survived the slums of Thundera by playing up their cuteness when they weren't simply outsmarting and running circles around their targets. This is especially obvious when they first ask if they can tag along with Lion-O's group after Thundera is sacked, complete with [[Faux Paw]] and kittenish mewling.
