[[File:Shy fingers by Hinata Hyuga.jpg|link=Naruto|
When embarrassed or reluctant, [[The Ditz|ditzy]] or [[Shrinking Violet|shy]] characters frequently touch their forefingers' tips together in front of them and twiddle them up and down, often accompanied by a "toiktoik" sound.
Line 8:
Often seen in anime in a [[Cannot Spit It Out]] or "please don't embarrass me" situation. Not to be confused with [[Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive]].
{{examples}}
== Anime & Manga ==
* Usagi from ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' does this a lot.
* So does Hinata Hyuuga from ''[[Naruto]]''. (That's her, pictured at right.)
Line 58 ⟶ 57:
* Micky from ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'' does this. Being a purple, four-armed demon general that's the upper part of a three-bodied monster who is the overlord of its own netherworld, it is a good sign that Micky isn't, by their standards, very good at being an overlord.

* [[Black Adventures|N]] does this when he's feeling distraught.
▲* Ruby Rose from ''[[RWBY]]'' does this during her first meeting with [[Rich Bitch|Weiss Schnee]].
== Western Animation ==
Line 81 ⟶ 79:
* Bolin from ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'', who is actually not shy at all, has done this.
* American example: Beast Boy of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' sometimes does this, usually when he's being reprimanded for something.
** The comic book version supposedly scratches his ear, as referenced in [[Geoff Johns]]' ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]''; but due to the character being fairly obscure and largely ignored by comic writers/artists, this is shown rarely, if at all.
