The exact opposite of [[Perpetual Frowner]]. This is a character who, no matter what, is never seen without a smile of some kind. A [[Stepford Smiler]] would be a sub-trope, one who smiles because that's all they can do to keep from ''breaking''. A [[Cat Smile]] or [[Cheshire Cat Grin]] can also be their perpetual expression. A '''Perpetual Smiler''''s smile can change, and the emotions behind it can be literally anything... so long as there is something that can be called a 'smile' on their face. Usually, though, this smile is pleasant and cheerful, or at least calm, and often, the feeling behind it is genuine, so [[The Un-Smile]] doesn't usually appear. Compare to [[Glasgow Grin]], where the '''smile''' is ear-to-ear and usually inflicted by cutting.
As a Super-Trope of those listed above, all examples of them should be sorted into their respective categories. This page is only for examples of this trope who do NOT fit into the other perpetual-smile categories.
