Line 259:
* ''[[Touhou]]'' features several characters noted for shunning most human (or monster) contact most of the time. How much they are portrayed as "freaks" for this varies widely, however.
** Marisa isolates herself most of the time so that she can [[Training from Hell|perfect her explosion-making skills]] in relative peace. Her [[Memetic Sex God|extreme charisma]] and [[Genki Girl|energetic speech patterns]] assure her of her popularity, however.
** Alice Margatroid being regarded by people as an unnerving weirdo is canon. She live alone in the same forest and spends her time making and controlling dolls and researching magic. According to Aya (in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense), Alice says she cheerfully allows lost strangers to spend the night. Aya also says what Alice really does is let them inside, but she doesn't make conversation with them so she can continue her research and control. Which, while unsettling, is safer to just put up with than take your chances, at night, in the forest where Alice lives. Even worse, Alice talks to her mindless dolls.
** Fujiwara no Mokou likewise isolates herself, apparently feeling more connection to humans than [[Youkai]] society, she protects people who wander into the bamboo forest, but isolates herself from them otherwise. Her [[Bifauxnen]] appearance, and [[Les Yay]] relationship with Keine prevent anyone from calling her a freak, however.
** Kaguya Houraisan, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Immortal Enemy]] of Mokou, however, in spite of living with a friend and servants, is portrayed as a [[NEET]] and [[Fan Girl]].
* ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]'': [[Shrinking Violet|Hanako's]] classmates see her as this, thinking of her as a strange hermit who never talks to anyone. In reality she's a very kind and intelligent girl who is just very uncomfortable around people she doesn't know every well. Becoming closer to Hisao reveals this, but doesn't really make her less of a loner - she becomes less anxious, but still tells Hisao matter-of-factly that she doesn't really like most other people, and Hisao doesn't really press her on that.
* In an old commercial for [[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]], Link apparently goes through the dungeons yelling for Zelda like he's looking for her. Despite the fact that the first thing you see in the game is the ancient sleeping Zelda, and the point of the dungeons is to ultimately get the third Triforce.
