** Seraphim as well.
* ''[[Black Butler]]'' goes out of its way to prove this of Ciel. To the point where Joker in the manga gives him the stage name of Smile in an ironic sense...but then finds out that Ciel is a [[Even the Guys Want Him|damn knockout]]. It seems as though Elizabeth's entire point of existing is to make him smile again...and she is one of the few people who can get a genuine smile.
* [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Yuki Nagato]] -- [http://images.hologfx.com/Doki/Suzumiya%20Haruhi/Suzumiya%20Haruhi%20no%20Shoushitsu%20-%20Movie.png this] picture from the ''Disappearance'' is a plot point in said movie and the novel it's adapted

* In ''[[Death Note]]'', L gets one scene where he is shown smiling as he says "[[Justice Will Prevail]]". Many [[Fan Girl|fangirls]] [[Squee|rejoiced]].
* In ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]'', there are exactly two (perhaps three) instances in which Tezuka Kunimitsu can be seen smiling: one is after a very symbolic match with his best friend Fuji Shusuke, the other is after his team has just won the National Tournament against the supposedly-unbeatable Rikkaidai. The last one, Inui Sadaharu even felt necessary to get on tape.
* [[Elfen Lied|Lucy]] hardly ever smiles ([[Slasher Smile
* In ''[[Zero no Tsukaima]]'' season 4 episode 5 Saito says he feels happy when he sees [[Tsundere|Louise]] smile.
* In ''[[Vampire Hunter D]]'', D's (very, very rare) smiles are apparently worthy of historical documentation.

* Konzen, from [[Saiyuki]], like his later incarnation, Sanzo, is very pretty but has a permanent scowl. Goku, his surrogate son, thinks he'd be beautiful if he did smile. Subverted, though, as when he finally does Goku decides it doesn't suit him at all, even though it is a completely genuine loving smile. Doubles as a crowning moment of heartwarming, as essentially Goku is saying he loves Konzen as he is.
* Mika and Koharu of ''[[Koharu no Hibi]]'' just want Akira to always be happy and smile. And Koharu is normally a creepy [[Stepford Smiler]] [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere
* Nako of ''[[Poor Poor Lips]]'', [[Older Than She Looks|with her kid-like proportions]], is frequently mentioned by [[Lipstick Lesbian|Ren]] to not be her type. However, all of that changes when Nako flashes one of her genuine smiles...

* All those moments of shame, defeat and unhappiness and depression Charlie Brown goes through is worth it to the reader just to see him when he's really, truly happy.

* The [[Ironic Hell]] for suicides in ''[[Wristcutters: A Love Story|Wristcutters]]'' is just like the real world, except that nothing works, everything's kind of gray, and it's impossible to smile. After seeing nothing but despondent looks from all of the characters for the entire movie, the last
* Aurelia in ''[[Love Actually]]''. In the commentary, Richard Curtis says he immediately decided to cast Lucia Moniz after she smiled during her audition, and immediately went from dour plain woman to radiant beauty.
* ''[[Sense and Sensibility (film)|Sense and Sensibility]]''. The Colonel, as played by [[Alan Rickman]]. He's looked like the incarnation of gloom throughout the film, and then, in the final scene when he's married Marianne, his face lights up and he seems to have dropped about ten years of age.
Line 173:
* From ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'': the actors Bradley James (Arthur), Colin Morgan (Merlin) and Angel Coulby (Guinevere) have stunning smiles, all the more so because they are slightly imperfect (Bradley has crooked teeth, Colin's is a bit goofy, and Angel's is always slightly wistful), but when called upon to smile - especially at each other - you would swear that the sun shines a little brighter. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn_6OgB9aP4&feature=related See for yourself.]
** [[Katie McGrath]] (Morgana) is gorgeous too, [[Inversion|but moreso when she's]] ''[[Inversion|not]]'' [[Inversion|smiling]]. (Although it can depend on the smile. If it's her Morgana half-smirk, OK. But when she does a full-teeth almost laughing grin, [http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmko47PKYS1qjea65o1_500.jpg you are powerless.]
* [[Broken Bird|Dr. K]] from ''[[Power Rangers RPM]]''. For a character that has [[No Social Skills]] whatsoever and comes across as a deadpan [[Little Miss Snarker]], along with an extremely depressing past, she has a very endearing
** Also in the ''[[Super Sentai]]'' series, [[Go Go Sentai Boukenger|Sakura Nishihori/Bouken Pink]] started out as a super serious member of the SGS and can't smile ever. It takes one mission to finally make her smile for a boy she's taking care of. As her leader said, her smile is possessed by only hers alone, and during the climax of the series, she did declare that her smile was her greatest treasure.
* [[Wonderfalls]]: Caroline Dhavernas is stunning as required per Hollywood law, but she manages to disguise the fact by looking permanently flabbergasted, resentful or miserable... until the very last scene.

** John is goofy looking to the point of bordering on [[Ugly Cute]], but within two pages of the comic's beginning [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=001903 you see him smile]. Even later, he's [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005590 positively adorkable].

** Aradia Megido is an odd example. When she enters the story, she's the resident [[The Eeyore|Eeyore]] and [[Emotionless Girl]], but she departs from this gloominess twice. The first is in [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004149 a flashback] {{spoiler|to just before her death}}, and the second is when [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005084 she hugs Sollux] {{spoiler|just before her robot body explodes}}. Then she gets over the issue that had been causing her gloominess,<ref>(that is, she came back from death... [[Came Back Strong|as a god-tier player]])</ref>
** In the most recent development of the 'Sober Gamzee' arc, [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005995 Karkat is finally seen genuinely smiling] {{spoiler|as he manages to calm Gamzee down and establish his role as Gamzee's moirail}}. This smile stands out due to Karkat's characterization as someone who rages and screams constantly and is constantly negative, making it stand out.
* [[The Cyantian Chronicles]]: Celina is typically scowling or straight faced, but she has one of the warmest smiles of all the cast.
