Line 154:
* In [[Tales of Kolmar]], the usually serious, inclined-to-brood mage Vilkas is noted by one character to be "pleasant enough, if only he'd smile now and again". Later she says her wish is granted, and she notes "a broad glorious smile that lit up his face and showed the joy that danced behind his eyes". At the end of the series he's [[Character Development|more inclined to smiling in general]].
* Asher in ''[[Someone Else's War|Someone Elses War]]'' is a rare male example. His face is heavily scarred, and he spends most of his time shunning emotion as weakness. Smiling (or laughing) makes a huge improvement to his appearances, but he doesn't do it often.
* [[Amelia Peabody]] Emerson's son, nicknamed Ramses, is handsome as it is in a saturnine way -- something like Sharpe, above -- but when he '''laughs''' his attractiveness gets dialed '''way''' up. Even his mother is a bit stunned the first time she sees how charming it makes him. There's a scene in one book when Ramses laughs so hard that he has to sit down, and Amelia notices but doesn't realize the significance that his foster sister is '''totally''' focused on watching him. {{spoiler|They soon marry and [[Babies Ever After]]}}.
