Line 29:
** Yuki smiled at one point in the movie, and it was completely visible. It was a major event, as {{spoiler|it was what made Kyon consider staying in the [[Alternate Universe]].}}
* Eureka from [[Eureka Seven]]. The girl is literally close to emotionless since her birth until she met her destined partner Renton and gradually fell deeply in love with him. Although 3 years ago she did experience her first emotion which is "surprise" when she realized she orphaned the three children she would later adopt.
* Senri from ''[[Plus +Anima]]'' fits this perfectly, even though he's a boy.
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'': Emotionless Boy Hong Kong. Belarus is a female version, who mixes it with [[Yandere]] as well.
** There's also Egypt, who could have doubled for a [[Cute Mute]] (though he does speak one sentence).
Line 37:
* 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]]}}.
* R. Dorothy Waynewright from ''[[The Big O]]''. She's an actual [[Robot Girl]]. On at least one occasion, she expresses relief on never being programmed with emotions, although arguably she didn't need to be—she demonstrates disgust, loyalty, nostalgia, and numerous other emotions, just not at what a human would call full intensity.
* Nemu, Mayuri Kurotsuchi's Lieutenant in ''[[Bleach]]'', is not just emotionless but seems to have no free will of her own. She exists almost as an extension of Kurotsuchi's will; no matter how horribly he treats her, she never reacts. {{spoiler|[[Mad Scientist]] Kurotsuchi CREATED Nemu. His "daughter" is really just an [[Opposite SexGender Clone]].}}
** Nemu may not be able to disobey direct commands but she does have free will as shown when she {{spoiler|cures Uryruu after he was poisoned during his fight with Mayuri}}.
* Six year-old Rin Kaga of ''[[Bunny Drop]]'' appears as such at first, but she's actually a [[Deconstruction]]. She is only like this because of shyness and anxiety around people she does not know. Around other children and Daikichi, Rin is anything but emotionless.
Line 77:
* Akira Takano from ''[[School Rumble]]''.
** 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 [[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''.
Line 99:
* 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.
* Yami from ''[[To Love LOVE-Ru]]'', although she has shown the barest hint of emotions other than "I hate ecchi people" on occasion.
* Michiru from ''[[Uta Kata]]''.
* Echo from ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'' although later on in the manga she changes to more of a [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]
Line 185:
** Seven of Nine from ''[[Star Trek: Voyager|Voyager]]'' is a former Borg drone, so underplays emotions while focusing on efficiently completing tasks. However, she does annoyance really well.
** T'Pol from ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise|Enterprise]]'' is a Vulcan whose frustration with humans isn't veiled as well as it could be, but otherwise fits this trope. (Jolene Blalock has claimed this is intentional, but (YMMV) it does tend to come off as a half-baked Seven Of Nine impression.)
** T'Pring and T'Pau from the ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek the Original Series]]'' episode "Amok Time".
** The first officer of Captain Pike, known only as [[Number One]], was one of these.
* Cameron, the female [[Terminator]] of ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'' fits this quite accurately, though she is quite capable of ''simulating'' human emotions when she needs to. The rather sudden shift from emotionless blankness to a laughing, smiling teenage girl is....[[Creepy Child|creepy.]]
Line 236:
** This may be reversed to some degree in the ending, as she sheds tears over {{spoiler|Albus finally passing away}}.
* Somewhere in between this and a fully fledged [[Robot Girl]] is Aki Zeta-Five, leader of the Cybernetic Consciousness in the expansion pack to ''[[Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri]]''. She would pretty much count as a [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Nagato]] [[Expy]] if the game wasn't 8 years older. She's fully human (born Aki Luttinen in Norway—don't ask why she has a Finnish name) who was [[Cyborg|merged with/possessed by an artificial intelligence]] like the rest of [[Robot Republic|her faction]].
* Princess Katrina of ''[[Wild ArmsARMs XF]]''. Although she's said to only not understand the concept of fear, she doesn't seem to feel much in the way of anything else, either.
* Vasilios Cosmos (a guy) of ''[[Space Colony]]'', withdrawn and doesn't consider himself human.
* Jacqli of [[Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica]] semi-subvert this. Main plot wise, she looks and acts like one, but when you're getting to know her in Cosmosphere or in synthesis scenes, she's become a sarcastic [[Tsundere]].
Line 242:
* Eleanor, the "Cold Princess" in ''[[Rule of Rose]]'' - the least developed of the Aristocrats, almost nothing is known about her except that she loves birds and fantasizes about flying away from everything. When her beloved pet bird dies in Bird of Happiness-chapter, she just throws its corpse back in the cage without tiniest spec of visible emotion, and walks off.
* Valentine of [[Guilty Gear]] 2 Overture counts as one, and regularly speaks in a calm, monotone voice without changing it. However, when she gets her [[Villainous Breakdown]] once Sol stops the process of the Key by destroying it, that's where she gets [[Berserk Button|her first emotion ever]].
* Nu, Lambda, and Mu of [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]] also count as some, to be exact. To be fair, they're android clones of Saya, after all. Nu and Lambda only get emotions when they're around Ragna (Lambda usually doesn't do so except on special occasions), and Mu gets emotions when suffering a [[Villainous Breakdown]] before being turned back into her old self (Noel) by Ragna.
* 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.
 
Line 288:
** Giving a look of genuine sadness is even rarer; she's only done it once.
** She's also shown shock and confusion, but that's understandable given the kind of people/things she hangs out with.
* A minor ''[[Freakazoid!]]'' villain, aptly named Deadpan.
