Line 150:
* Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) in ''[[The Royal Tenenbaums]]''.
* Emily in ''[[The Final]]''. {{spoiler|Until Ravi is killed.}} Then she goes right back to this.
* Summer, in ''[[500 Days of Summer|Five Hundred Days of Summer]]'', is introduced as one of these by the narrator... although he proves to be [[Unreliable Narrator|less than completely reliable]].
* 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.
 
Line 156:
* Estella from ''[[Great Expectations]]''.
* Susan Calvin from [[Isaac Asimov]]'s many robot short stories.
* ''[[Discworld]]'':
** Susan Sto Helit of ''[[Discworld/Soul Music (novel)|Soul Music]]'', ''[[Discworld/Hogfather|Hogfather]]'' and ''[[Discworld/Thief of Time|Thief of Time]]'' shows no outward emotion on hearing of the deaths of her parents, and otherwise fits the "cool in a crisis" model. She does occasionally get angry. Don't get in her way at this point.
** 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).
Line 233 ⟶ 234:
* 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.
 
== = Visual Novels ===
* 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]]''.
Line 242 ⟶ 243:
* Unan of ''[[Under the Moon]]'' is a [[Spear Counterpart]], although his looks, and often his mannerisms, are [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|very feminine]].
 
== WebcomicsWeb Comics ==
* 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.]
Line 267 ⟶ 268:
== 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.
** Though Raven can actually be ''intensely'' emotional - you do ''not'' want to see her angry. She needs to stay repressed in order to avoid losing control of her powers and/or unleashing her [[Super-Powered Evil Side]].
* [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.
