Line 246:
* Lightning of [[Final Fantasy XIII]] has this in common with her [[Spear Counterpart]]. [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091125173326/finalfantasy/images/4/43/Lightningsmile.PNG Aww.] (It's worth noticing that this is fairly early on, probably why it's a sad smile... but still gorgeous.) Seems someone at [[Square Enix]] has a thing for this trope.
** And she does it again in ''Dissidia Duodecim'', though very briefly, during the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7sLM80nTtA ending scene] (1:50 of the video - of course, spoilers).
* Hanako in ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]'' is both a [[Fragile Flower]] AND [[Shrinking Violet|a shrinking violet]] because of her physical and mental scars caused by the fire that killed her parents. Her smile is recognized in-game as one of the most beautiful sights the protagonist has ever seen.▼
** Shizune who normally has a very serious, almost bossy demeanor also seems to have a nice smile. At the very least, it's nice enough that Hisao tells her that she should smile more during her Act 1 ending.▼
* Natasha of [[Fire Emblem]] 8, while already beautiful, is very serious and leans towards [[The Woobie]]. Naturally, most of her romantic supports feature the wooer attempting to cheer her up.
** Similarly, Ninian of [[Fire Emblem]] 7 is usually very shy and somber, but actually laughs in one chapter at the antics of Hector and Lyn.
Line 261 ⟶ 259:
* Namine when Sora, Donald, and Goofy's antics cause her to laugh in [[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]].
* Samus in [[Metroid]]: [[Other M]] pulls something like this off a couple of times, towards the end.
* Neku in ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' is usually a stoic [[Deadpan Snarker]], but during a flashback in the second week, [http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/89429693/13790563 it's just awesome to see such a withdrawn character smile without a hint of cynicism or sarcasm.]▼
* Kaori Yae in the ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]] 2'' game series does this, particulary after [[She's Back|she has recovered]] from her [[Heroic BSOD]]. Lampshaded several times in the saga by the protagonist, such as in ''Dancing Summer Vacation'', saying the following, as he notices how dazzling she is when she smiles:▼
{{quote|'''Protagonist''': "I have the feeling it's the first time I see her smiling, without being on her guards. It feels like she's a different person."}}▼
* Raizze Haimer, the [[Emotionless Girl]] of ''[[Mitsumete Knight]]'', has a special event and CG, where she has a rare beautiful smile, {{spoiler|when the Asian is poisoned and she manages to save him}}. The game's CG Gallery names this CG "Mezurashii Egao" ("An unusual smiling face").▼
* In ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' the [[Badass]] [[Mad Scientist]] Mordin has a great moment before the mission on Horizon. It's one of the first hints that he's [[Not So Stoic]].
* Throughout ''[[F.E.A.R.]] 3'', the Point Man's face has been locked into moderate variations of either stoic determination or quiet fury, up until the end. During the Point Man's ending, {{spoiler|while cradling his newborn sibling}}, he breaks into a smile before walking away.
* KOS-MOS from ''[[Xenosaga]]'', resident [[Robot Girl]] and [[Emotionless Girl]], is already VERY attractive normally, but when she smiles at the end of Episode III, she's drop dead gorgeous.
* Kyle Hyde from ''[[Hotel Dusk: Room 215]]''. Normally, he is either frowning or poker faced. But when he breaks out one of these shiners...

'''Riki''': "Because I now know you can smile like that." }}
