A type of walk where the character swings their arms back and forth while skipping. This is a visual clue of that the character is young or immature. Characters that walk like this are most likely a [[Cheerful Child]] or a [[Genki Girl]]. If it is not the character’s default walk it is sign of joyousness. Almost always done exclusively by [[Always Female|females]]. Bonus points for [[Not-So-Innocent Whistle|whistling]] while doing this.

{{examples}}
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* ''[[The Smurfs]]'': The Smurfette often does this when she joyfully has a walk in the forest, in various albums of the series.
 
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* In chapter 4 of ''[[Drunkard's Walk|Drunkard's Walk VIII: Harry Potter and the Man from Otherearth]]'', Luna Lovegood skips merrily back into Ravenclaw Tower with Doug as her escort after he sets things in motion to stop the bullying she's been subject to.

== [[Literature]] ==
* Twyla does this in ''[[Discworld/Hogfather|Hogfather]]''. Susan considers this to be part of her [[Deliberately Cute Child|"ingratiatingly cute" persona]], claiming "real children don't go hoppity-skippity unless they're on drugs".
 
== [[Live -Action TelevisionTV]] ==
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'': The little girl in "Remembrance of the Daleks" skips around town {{spoiler|when she's not plugged into the Dalek battle computer}}. She's not exactly "innocent", though.
 
Line 34 ⟶ 36:
* [[Little Miss Badass|Annie]] from ''[[League of Legends]]'' moves like this. She certainly ''seems'' innocent enough- and to be fair, she probably doesn't really see the harm in [[Playing with Fire|introducing you to her]] [[Everything's Worse with Bears|bear Tibbers]] if you get in her way.
* In ''[[The Sims]]'', children can do this. Some Sims can do it in adulthood if they have enough playful points. Oddly enough, they do it with a very stoic face.
* In the video games based on Disney's ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]'', Pinocchio does this in thelevels videobefore gameshe ofgets thedonkey movieears.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'': Pinkie Pie skips more often than she walks. Though without the arm-swinging as she doesn't really have any. Given that she is a quadruped, the way she skips looks like bouncing.
