Line 267:
{{quote|'''Ziva:''' We have a situation at the safehouse.
'''Gibbs:''' Well, yeah, Ziva. What is it?
'''Ziva:''' Just a second. ''(The hitmen break in through two different doors, and Ziva [[Guns Akimbo|shoots them both dead]] before they can react.)
'''Gibbs:''' Ziva? Ziva! Ziva, talk to me!
'''Ziva:''' Under control. ''(hangs up)'' }}
** Gibbs' only reaction is to smile slightly before he hangs up as well.
Line 382:
* Sara in ''[[Errant Story]]'', almost never talks. The characters [[Lampshade Hanging|occasionally make fun of her for it]], as seen above. (What's amusing is that her brother Jon sees himself like this, although he fits more into the [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]] class.)
* Antimony Carver and Miss Jones from ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]''.
{{quote|[[Only One Name|Just Jones]] [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p{{=}}365 will do].}}
* In ''[[Cry Havoc]]'' Lieutenant Sarg and to a lesser degree Karcharoth
* ([[Embarrassing First Name|Tiffany]]) Susan Pompoms of ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' is the rare female [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]], although her Vulcan "shoulder angel" would have you think of ''[[The Spock|another]]'' related trope.
* ''[[Girl Genius]]:'' Airman Third Class Axel Higgs has faced everything from airship crashes to angry swans to rampaging warrior Clanks with a cool head and a talent for thinking on his feet. The only thing that appears to faze him is Zeetha (who, to be fair to Higgs, gleefully dove into a barfight composed entirely of Jagermonsters - [[Super Soldier]]s, most of whom have ''centuries'' of combat experience).
Line 390:
* Riff in ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]''. Though he's developed a greater range of emotion, he's still deadpan more often than not, and prone to [[Tranquil Fury]]. Stoicism around women in particular is a front he's carefully cultivated to prevent himself from sticking his foot in his mouth.
* [[Wooden Rose]] [http://www.woodenrosecomic.com/comic/chapter2/41.html Lillian]
*
* In ''[[Homestuck]]'', [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002212 Dave Strider] hides himself in cool irony and refuses to show emotion. His brother raised him to be independent and never show weakness (Emotion being one). {{spoiler|As they progress in the game Dave becomes more worried and even asks Rose how John is doing when he can't contact him. He also casually asks her for psychoanalysis on his dreams.}} At one point when being pestered by Terezi {{spoiler|a future Dave}} gives him the thumbs up after she asks if he can trust her.
** A big part of Dave's [[Character Development]] lies in realizing he is different from his [[Aloof Big Brother|brother]], and can be his own man; he reveals himself [[Not So Stoic]] as a consequence. The Alpha iteration of Bro, though, is this trope to a tee.
* Liz in ''[[The Dreadful]]''. When Kit shot an [[Ax Crazy]] bandit
{{quote|'''Liz''': Shut up.
{{spoiler|'''Burke'''}}: (stands up) [[Leave Him to Me|No one interfere]]. This is ''my'' soup...
'''Kit''': (shuts up and
{{spoiler|'''Burke'''}}: (whips out a ''drum-fed grenade launcher'') And fortune-- ''IS MY SPOON!!!''
'''Liz''': [[Dissonant Serenity|(still with half-closed eyes and speaking around a cigarette)]] Hey, Kit - remember when you asked me about "the catch"?.. }}
