Perpetual Smiler: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"Koizumi's cheerful smile pisses me off every time I see it."''|'''[[FirstpersonFirst-Person Smartass|Kyon's narration]]''', ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya|Remote Island Syndrome]]''}}

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 [[Perpetual Smiler|smile]] is ear-to-ear and usually inflicted by cutting.
