Moe: Difference between revisions

*** Especially Shiori, the shrinking violet librarian.

* Yuko, from ''[[XxxHolic]]'', has a small monologue on moe in [[Expanded Universe|the book xxxHOLiC: Anotherholic]]:

* Suzuhara Misaki from the manga version of ''[[Kidou Tenshi Angelic Layer|Angelic Layer]]''.

* Suzie Wong, from ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'', manages to {{spoiler|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJtOmz_qcgg overcome the semi-religious programming of one of the Devas and turn her against her own faction]}} with the power of sheer concentrated moe.

** Arguably Sakaki. While her appearance lends itself more to the [[Huge Schoolgirl]] look, her attitude is pure Moe, especially in the way that her love for cute things being dashed constantly results in people feeling sorry for her.

** Chiyo-chan is very moe too.

* ''[[Kaiji]]'' often gets called moe or even a moeblob, as part of [[Memetic Mutation]]. Of course, he is both male and not ''really'' moe, but the sheer amount of [[The Woobie|woobieness]] makes him look moe in the eyes of fans.

** In fact due to the complete lack of female characters and most of the male characters are more on the manly side. The show is about as un-moe as you can get.

* Most of the female charaters in ''[[School Rumble]]'' are moe.

* Jacuzzi from ''[[Baccano]]'' fits this trope perfectly. He cries a lot, is super cute, and is completely nice to everyone. ''The Slash: Cloudy to Rainy'' lampshades this.

* Ellis from ''[[El Cazador de la Bruja]]'' (and to a lesser extent, Nadie) is completely moe. Taco song, anyone?

* Give Holo from ''[[Spice and Wolf]]'' [[Trademark Favorite Food|an apple]], I dare you. As a [[Trickster]], she knows how to make good use of her talents. She also has plenty of [[The Woobie|woobie]] moments.

*** "Bambi Eyes," tend to lose the intended effect when one is using them to ask for a flamethrower.

* The title character of ''[[Empowered]]'' is a rare example in an American [[Superhero]] comic.

* Delirium in ''[[The Sandman|Death: At Death's Door]]''

* Molly Hayes and Klara Prast from ''[[Runaways]]''

* [[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Bertie Wooster]] frequently gets this treatment in fanfiction. He is entertainingly ditzy, goodhearted, and frequently in (temporary) distress due to the wacky [[Comedic Sociopathy]]-fueled schemes of his friends, and many female fans find him rather huggable.

** Note that he has this quality ''in-universe'', which is why he's such a [[Chick Magnet]].

* ''[[Discworld/Unseen Academicals|Unseen Academicals]]'''s Mister Nutt isn't classically cute, but he is a good example of the "[[Adorkable|adorably awkward]]" type of male moe character: shy, [[No Social Skills|socially awkward]] in a polite, [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|erudite]] sort of way, a real sweetheart but seriously lacking in self-esteem and generally [[The Woobie|in dire need of a hug]]. All this is rather incongruous, considering what he [[Badass Bookworm|turns out]] [[Super Soldier|to be.]] {{spoiler|When Pratchett uses [[Our Orcs Are Different]], he doesn't fool around. Also, despite the fact Nutt is gray-skinned and unattractive, [[Interspecies Romance|Glenda sees something in him]].}}

** Walter Plinge from ''Maskerade'' as well. He's just so ''earnest'' in his gawky misfit-ness. {{spoiler|Totally subverted by the end. You can call Ghost!Walter a lot of things, but Moe isn't one of them}}.

** [http://forum.rpg.net/showpost.php?p=11874207&postcount=6 Erandis Vol also practices knitting].

* The [[GURPS]] advantage Pitiable basically facilitates moe.

* The [[Collectible Card Game]] Weiss Schwarz uses moe as its primary selling point, allowing moe stalwarts such as the [[Lucky Star]] and Clannad casts to wage bloody moe battle against each other.

 

** Kairi is still pretty moe by the time she grows up, but as a little girl? ''So precious.''

* [[Dojikko|Nozomi Okita]] from [[Sengoku Rance]] is an unusual one: she has the usual [[Meganekko]] and [[School Swimsuit]] type things going on, but then she'll also turn [[Black Comedy Rape|getting raped]] into something funny and adorable.

** From the same game, Kenshin is a more traditional moe character when around Rance. The rest of the time, she's the [[Lady of War]].

* Talim, Amy, and Xianghua from [[Soul Calibur]]. Tira could be viewed as moe if you like [[Yandere|Yanderes]].

** Miho and Largo play a video game called [http://www.megatokyo.com/?strip_id=344 "Super Moe Moe Moe Ball"].

* Speaking of [[Touhou Nekokayou|Kimiko]]...[[Magic Mushroom|Masha Kinoko]]. Using the power of moe, she single-handedly melted any objection towards the introductions of original characters in the series and was considered ''too adorable'' to become the final boss of the series, which was her intended role in the story at the time of her introduction.

'''Tewi Inonymous:''' >Masha: Calm down, panicking will get us nowhere. Let's assess. }}

** [[Fan Nickname|Moeshroom.]] Yes, she recieved a fan nickname because of this!
