Line 7:
Opposite [[Manly Tears]] are '''Tender Tears''', where the character weeps more than most people because of the exquisite tenderness of her heart. [[Double Standard|More frequent for women than for men]].
 
Also opposed to [[Water Works]] where the character cries because he is weak. '''Tender Tears''' result from someone else's misfortune. If they feel any guilt over the situation—reasonablysituation — reasonably or unreasonably -- [[Tears of Remorse]] will also occur.
 
Seldom a [[Single Tear]], but it's possible.

* While it's usually most associated with [[Manly Tears]], ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'' is FULL of characters who shed these to show the sensitivity and kindness of their hearts; the most prominent being [[The Hero|Kenshiro]] and [[Big Bad|Raoh]]. The latter case denotes Raoh as a [[Noble Demon]] rather than a [[Complete Monster]].
* [[Fullmetal Alchemist|The trait of tender compassion has been passed down the Armstrong line for generations!]]
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
* In [[Adrian Tchaikovsky]]'s ''[[Shadows of the Apt|Dragonfly Falling]]'', Che over {{spoiler|Totho}}.
* In [[The Bible]] Jesus goes to the grave of his dear friend Lazarus and meets with his sister Martha who is in mourning and asking Jesus why he didn't come to help her brother sooner. Martha proclaims that had Jesus arrived days earlier then he could have healed him and saved his life with his miracles, and Jesus seeing this is deeply moved by Martha's plight and the shortest sentence of the entire Bible states simply, "'''Jesus wept.'''" Jesus loved Lazarus and he is deeply saddened that death has such tyranny over Mankind, but he then proclaims to Martha that since he is the Son of the Living God and the Messiah anyone who believes in him yet shall he die he shall still live. Then in one of the greatest miracles in the Bible Jesus calls forth to Lazarus to rise and he comes back to life. In his humanity Jesus wept for Lazarus and in his divinity he rose him from the dead.
* It really [[Depending Onon the AuthorWriter|depends on the author]], but there are still a number of times in the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]] that Luke Skywalker cries openly. Maybe the most notable examples are the times in the [[Return of the Jedi]] [[Novelization]]. There's also a line in the ''Rebel Force'' series that implies he cries when some Imperials die horribly.
