Line 40:
** There's also Egypt, who could have doubled for a [[Cute Mute]] (though he does speak one sentence).
** Norway keeps the same [[The Stoic|stoic]] expression when he is eating cake, when his friend was defeated in battle, when he is captured, and when he is strangling someone.
* Chane Laforet from ''[[Baccano!]]'', who actually is mute. Series main [[Ax Crazy|Ax]] [[Crazy Awesome|Crazy]] [[Creepy Awesome|Awesome]] instantly falls for her because of that.
* Kazuo Kiriyama from the ''[[Battle Royale]]'' manga is an [[Emotionless Girl|Emotionless Boy]]. He was rendered incapable of emotion when he was brain-damaged at the age of six (since birth in the original novel), and is described in-story as a sociopath. Add to this his phenomenal analytical ability and intelligence and you've got a very tough match-up.
* Ai Enma from ''[[Hell Girl]]''. Subverted in that she ''does'' have emotions, but she must repress them to carry out her atonement for {{spoiler|the revenge she carried out on the villagers who buried her alive.}}. Or else, she'll wind up in Hell. {{spoiler|We first see it when she snaps before Hajime towards the end of the first season, and [[Nightmare Fuel|it's not a nice sight to behold]]}}.
Line 53:
** C.C. has the same blank look in her eyes. Living for too long is simply exhausting.
** Though unlike Anya, C.C. actually still has emotions. She smiles more than a few times during the series.
* Yin, and others, from ''[[Darker Thanthan Black]]'' - one plot point of the show is the existence of Dolls, humans [[Brainwashed]] into (nearly) emotionless mediums that can be used as undetectable spies.
* Saki Hanajima from ''[[Fruits Basket]]'', and surprise! She does have [[Extraordinarily Empowered Girl|special powers]]. Her little brother, Megumi, is also emotionless and can curse people.
** Ironically, both of them are actually familiar and regularly express the one emotion that causes most of these examples to come out of their shell: Love. Saki is extremely protective and (sometimes overly) friendly towards her best friend Tohru, and Megumi behaves similarly towards his sister. Saki's treatment, thus, ends up flip-flopped between Emotionless Girl and Yamato Nadeshiko depending entirely on who she's associating with at that particular moment. Just don't mess with Tohru. Ever.
Line 85:
** Male example: Oddball Karasuma. Yeah. He {{spoiler|had been repressing his feelings from the very beginning in an attempt to distance himself from everyone}}. When he finally snaps very late in the manga, his bouts of emotion are so expressive, he becomes almost unrecognizable.
* ''[[Now and Then Here and There]]'' has Lala-ru, although she does start to emote more as the story progresses.
* Fate in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]''. Fate actually does have emotions, but keeps them suppressed as a defense mechanism against her [[No Sympathy|mothers insane demands]] and even [[Abusive Parents|more insane punishment for failure.]] Although she recovers later, Fate remains quieter and more reserved than the rest of the [[Improbably-Fundamentally Female Cast]], albeit also considerably more sensitive.
** Lutecia in ''StrikerS''. Likely a result of [[Mad Scientist|Jail's]] experiments and/or of growing up without her mother. She becomes more emotional by ''ViVid''.
** The youngest Combat Cyborgs- Otto, Deed and Sette- also count. Deed doesn't even change expressions while asking Wendi to [[Skinship Grope|get her hands off her breasts]], and when she and Otto don't react as Wendi celebrates her victory over one of the Einherjar installations, Wendi gets annoyed and complains about having to be in the same group as them. The youngest, Sette, is almost completely devoid of emotions to the point of seeming robotic, and Tre tells her to put some life into her daily routines.
Line 103:
* Zefiris from ''[[Scrapped Princess]]''. Also a [[Robot Girl]] - kind of.
* Momo from ''[[Shinigami no Ballad]]'' is a subversion. She appears emotionless, but allegedly feels more strongly than normal humans do. The other shinigami plays this straight though.
* Primula in ''[[Shuffle|SHUFFLE!]]'' is an excellent example of the repressed type.
* Sara Werec of ''[[Soukou no Strain]]'' is an example of an [[Emotionless Girl]] main character.
* Latune Subbota from ''[[Super Robot Wars]]: Original Generation''. Then she gets a crush on the [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Ascended Fanboy|Ascended]] [[Super Robot]] [[Ascended Fanboy|Fanboy]], and clears all that right up.
Line 134:
* Homura Akemi from ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' starts out as this. She never smiles, has a completely toneless voice, and acts like she's made of stone when {{spoiler|Mami dies and Sayaka turns into a witch.}} It is {{spoiler|subverted}} as we find out that she {{spoiler|invoked this trope ''on purpose'' after watching her friends die again and again while stuck in her [[Groundhog Day Loop]]. She went from being a [[Shrinking Violet]] with glasses and a heart condition to a coolheaded stoic in a desperate attempt to finally save Madoka from her terrible fate.}}
* Key from ''[[Key the Metal Idol]]'' seems to be emotionless initially, claiming to be a robot, but is eventually revealed to be {{spoiler|a severe case of emotional repression prompted by merely being convinced and, as a result, convincing others that she is a robot when she is, in fact, a human to prevent her potent extra-physical abilities from awakening}}.
* Kanade Tachibana, the titular Angel of ''[[Angel Beats!]]'' is, at least on the surface, an example of this. She's quiet, and impassive seeming even when dishing out violence or receiving grievous injury. She has emotions, but she rarely shows them.
* In the first ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'' movie, Syaoran's mom is usually this, though she does become a [[Defrosting Ice Queen]] around [[Moe|Sakura]].
