Emotionless Girl: Difference between revisions

* Vanilla from ''[[Galaxy Angel (anime)|Galaxy Angel]]''. Used in the anime to comic effect. In [[Galaxy Angel (video game)|the games]], her [[Story Arc|story arcs]] deal with her coming to terms with expressing emotion.

* Feldt Grace from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'', though she later starts to become more emotional.

* Kanna from ''[[Inuyasha]]'' most certainly fits this trope, as she was created to be emotionless so that she would be undetectable by any trace of Demonic Energy or Scent. In fact, the translation of her name quite literally means 'void'.

** By the end, it is subverted as she actually has emotion as her heart can feel.

* Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) in ''[[The Royal Tenenbaums]]''.

* Emily in ''[[The Final]]''. {{spoiler|Until Ravi is killed.}} Then she goes right back to this.

* In ''[[The Happening]]'', Zooey Deschanel is actually given the line "I don't like to show my emotions," which many suspect was a late addition to the script to try to cover up her less than enthusiastic performance.

 

* Estella from ''[[Great Expectations]]''.

* Susan Calvin from [[Isaac Asimov]]'s many robot short stories.

** Adora Belle Dearheart in the "Moist Von Lipwig" novels also comes across as emotionless, when she's actually repressing a mountain of rage. [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Alternatively]], she comes across as a woman burying her issues under [[Deadpan Snarker|a mountain of bitter sarcasm]].

* In the ''[[Star Wars Expanded Universe]]'' [[Expanded Universe]] novels, Winter Celchu (an aide and childhood friend of Leia's), an Intelligence agent with a [[Photographic Memory|holographic memory]], has lost her composure perhaps once in the entirety of her appearances—when she thought her boyfriend had been killed ''and'' his fellow pilots ''didn't seem to care'' (because, of course, he was still alive).

* Eifer Skute of ''[[Rosenkreuzstilette]]'' could also count as an Emotionless Girl, since she often appears to be cool-headed and mature and rarely smiles. However, she can sometimes get violently-fluctuating emotions and therefore sometimes act out of character. Plus, she for reasons unknown seems to carry strong emotions towards Freudia.

 

* Aselia and the minor spirit Nanaru in ''[[Eien no Aselia]]'' are both rather emotionless. The latter isn't even an exaggeration or merely based on her behavior, since her profile indicates that her sword has eaten away most of her personality. She genuinely feels very little until she gets to know Yuuto.

* Mai from ''[[Kanon]]''.

* Unan of ''[[Under the Moon]]'' is a [[Spear Counterpart]], although his looks, and often his mannerisms, are [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|very feminine]].

 

* Antimony from ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' is both [[The Stoic|stoic]] due to [[Parental Abandonment|a recent tragedy]] and unflappable in the face of weirdness due to a very unusual childhood. {{spoiler|She soon begins opening up to her best friend, but her unnervingly emotionless demeanor shows no sign of abating.}}

** Recent events suggest that the appearance of emotions on Antimony's face is directly related to her friendship with [[Gadgeteer Genius|Kat]]. [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=460 Because she gets ''really creepy'' when Kat is in trouble.]

* Aradia in ''[[Homestuck]]''. {{spoiler|Because [[The Untwist|she's dead]].}} Later on, she seems to be recovering {{spoiler|after being transplanted into a robot body}}, but this ends up not particularly helping: most of the time she's just as flat as before, but occasionally she'll [[You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry|get angry]] and [[Unstoppable Rage|violently flip the hell out]]. Even later, {{spoiler|however, her dreamself's awakening and [[Came Back Strong|ascension to the God Tiers]] causes her to genuinely begin feeling and emoting again.}}

* Ozy of ''[[Ozy and Millie]]'' has been mistaken for this at times. He tries to be [[The Stoic]], although part of it may be that he just enjoys playing a [[Foil]] to Millie. And sometimes his father. And then there's his family...

* ''[[Archipelago]]'': Lucinda, after a powerful tragedy, [[Deal with the Devil|agreed to serve the Raven if he would remove her emotions.]]

* After [[The Reveal]] in ''[[Flipside]]'', {{spoiler|Maytag herself}} is shown to be this. The story of how she got this way is currently (November 12, 2012) still being written.

== Western Animation ==

* Raven from ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' (emotionally repressed out of necessity more than choice). She becomes more and more open as the series progresses.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20121101012825/http://piandao.org/screencaps/ep23/ep23-187.png Mai] from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]],'' who finds everything in life [[Deadpan Snarker|boring and "unbearably bleak"]]... everything except [[Victorious Childhood Friend|Prince Zuko]].

* Mandy in ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy]]'' seems to have only three major emotions: indifference, disgust, and anger. The rarity of her smiles, especially in the later seasons was lampshaded in "My Fair Mandy", where her attempt at a ''cheerful'' smile ended up destroying the universe.
