Line 22:
Not to be confused with either the [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]], or a character who usually doesn't tease people, but ends up in [[We Need a Distraction|a certain situation]] requiring them to [[Show Some Leg]].
Sometimes a character might only tease their [[Love Interest]]. This might be considered flirting instead of teasing, since the assumption is that that [[Will They or Won't They?]] eventually will become They Did. (Denial of the implied sex is what makes a tease a tease, if a tease later puts out her past teasing retroactively becomes flirting).

Line 32:
** In fact, Haruhi herself sometimes does it:
{{quote| "Swimsuits! Swimsuits! Everyone get dressed in your swimsuits and meet in the hall! Hee hee, I've helped choose these two cuties' swimsuits! You must be looking forward to them, right Kyon?" Haruhi revealed an expression of "I know what you've been thinking already" and smiled evilly, revealing her white teeth.}}
* Ranma of ''[[Ranma One Half]]'' is a [[Gender Bender]] thanks to [[Transformation Ray|a fall in a Jusenkyo spring]]. While he [[I Just Want to Be Normal|desires nothing less then to be cured]], he is still more then willing to use his female form's attractiveness to his advantage. In fact, he even seems to [[Real Men Wear Pink|enjoy]] being able to make idiots of other guys simply by getting wet and then playing on their hormones- though he goes more for "cute" than outright sexy, at least by default, and he is not only straight, but prone to reacting violently to those who do try to act on those urges he stirs. Mostly, he uses this to charm guys into giving "her" free food or extra helpings, something a [[Big Eater]] always welcomes, but he also enjoys using it to mess with the ever-so-shy (and clueless) [[The Rival|Ryoga Hibiki]]. As two of his enemies, namely [[Kid Samurai|Tatewaki]] [[Lord Error
** Heck, even in his male form he isn't above attempting to use his sex appeal to manipulate (apparent) females. Didn't work so well on the crossdresser Tsubasa, and arguably worked too well on his mirror clone.
* Urd from ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]'' does this a lot, especially with Keiichi.
* Kitsune from ''[[Love Hina]]'' does this, mainly to blackmail money or to cause trouble for Keitaro.
* Akemi from ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'' definitely counts, unfortunately she's not very good at making clear she's just joking.
Line 57:
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. Asuka does this all the time to Shinji (when she's not [[Tsundere|angrily berating him]] for allegedly perving on her). One example is when Asuka demonstrates thermal expansion by cupping her hands over her breasts and asking him to calculate how much bigger they've become as a result. Shinji stammers that he doesn't know anything about all that.
** At one point, she pulls a curtain between them and calls it the "Wall of Jericho," ostensibly warning him not to come near her. It's not clear if she's intentionally dropping a hint, but Bible-savvy viewers will remember that the Wall of Jericho is best known for ''falling down.''
*** During her utterly awful [[Mind Rape]] at the...wings? of Arael, it is made clear that she knew very very well what happened to the Wall of Jericho, and [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?|was hoping Shinji did too.]] This being Evangelion, he didn't.
* ''[[Bakemonogatari (Light Novel)|Bakemonogatari]]'' has ''nine minutes straight'' of Hitagi starting naked, getting dressed and undressed again in front of Koyomi. Then the next episode starts with her talking about how beautiful she is and constantly skipping for [[Gainaxing|absolutely no reason at all.]] {{spoiler|They did not long after.}}
* Satella in ''[[Chrono Crusade]]''.
* Chizuru in ''[[Seitokai no Ichizon]]''. Except it seems like if Ken actually tried anything he would probably burst into flames, melt or get eaten by some invisible monster. Something bad, in any case. [[Nightmare Fuel
* In ''[[Sasameki Koto]]'', Ushio's teasing of Sumika is a clear sign of her growing self-acceptance.
* {{spoiler|Bellemere}} in ''[[One Piece]]''. At least, {{spoiler|she ''[[Death By Origin Story|was.]]''}}
Line 72:
* Meme from ''[[Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko]]''.
* Kureha from ''[[Tokko]]'' tends to be a tease. Saya also acts as a bit of a tease towards her own brother Ranmaru.
* [[Catboy|Ikuto]] from ''[[Shugo Chara]]'' is a shameless tease and a rare male example. He has the ability to make even the most mundane things he says or does ''drip'' with seduction and [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|sexual]] [[Freud Was Right|undertones]], and he loves to ruffle the heroine's feathers, sometimes pretending like he's flirting with her or about to kiss her, only to pull a "Just kidding!" right when she's good and flustered. No wonder their relationship is [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|the way it is.]]
* Kanade from ''[[Mayo Chiki]]'' is a big one towards Jiro. Particularly hilarious during the beach scene in episode 7 when she makes some really erotic noises and suggestive lines as he tries to nonchalantly put sunscreen on her, embarrassing him a lot in the process.
* Jura from [[Vandread]] likes to use this trope on Hibiki, especially whenever their mecha are merged together.
Line 139:
* Dr. Tease from [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]]'s show. Her full name is basically a pun for "cocktease".
* In [[Dragon Ball Abridged (Web Video)|Dragon Ball Abridged]], Bulma is accused of being a cock tease by Krillin.
* In [[Yu-Gi-Oh!:
