History Main / EmotionlessGirl

* Mai from ''{{Kanon}}''.

* Latune Subbota from ''SuperRobotWars: Original Generation''. Then she gets a crush on the HotBlooded [[AscendedFanboy Ascended]] SuperRobot [[AscendedFanboy Fanboy]], and clears all that right up.

* Latooni Subota from ''SuperRobotWars: Original Generation'' starts out like this due to her BreakTheCutie past.
** ''Alpha 3'' features a male variant in Ace Gozzo, who considers himself a machine. When he's dying and asked if he finally feels anything, Ace asks why he has to feel anything. He failed in his purpose and his life will end soon, and there's nothing wrong with that.

* People suffering from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aprosodia aprosodia]] are unable to convey emotions in their communication. They ''have'' emotions, they are simply having a hard time expressing them. (Think non-magical version of [[LightNovel/HentaiOujiToWarawanaiNeko Tsukushi Tsutsukakushi]].)

* Coira in ''Literature/WhiteAsSnow'', to the point that she scares people. She tried loving her mother once. All that did was hurt her.

* Agent Coulson, or at least [[TheStoic he puts on a good show of it]] in ''Film/IronMan1''.

Polar opposite of the HystericalWoman.

* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' has Annie Leonhardt. It's not that she ''lacks'' emotions, it's just that she doesn't care about the world around her. [[spoiler:When Armin (correctly) suggests that she's the female Titan, however, she [[SlasherSmile smiles]].]]

** Then there's Jones, who is even more of a blank slate. Whether she's [[{{exposition}} expositing]], flirting, [[TricksterMentor intentionally ticking her student off]], or even affirming that something was "hilarious", her expression ''does not change''. Antimony herself has speculated that Jones might be a robot masquerading as a human, but Jones denies this. Later developments have shown that Jones is an Eternal Wanderer, who's literally seen it all, right back from the planet's birth.

** Ironically, both of them are actually familiar and regularly express the one emotion that causes most of these examples to come out of their shell: Love. Saki is extremely protective and (sometimes overly) friendly towards her best friend Tohru, and Megumi behaves similarly towards his sister. Saki's treatment, thus, ends up flip-flopped between Emotionless Girl and YamatoNadeshiko depending entirely on who she's associating with at that particular moment. Just don't mess with Tohru. Ever.

** Emma Frost frequently comes across as this due to her detached, cynical persona. The Stepford Cuckoos are genrally portrayed as just copying her attitude, but between ''X-Men: Phoenix: Warsong'' and ''Nation X'' they are physically incapable of having emotions.

* ''ShingekiNoKyojin'' has Annie Leonhardt. It's not that she ''lacks'' emotions, it's just that she doesn't care about the world around her. [[spoiler:When Armin (correctly) suggests that she's the female Titan, however, she [[SlasherSmile smiles]].]]

** Then there's Jones, who is even more of a blank slate. Whether she's [[{{exposition}} expositing]], flirting, [[TricksterMentor intentionally ticking her student off]], or even affirming that something was "hilarious", her expression ''does not change''. Antimony herself has speculated that Jones might be a robot masquerading as a human, but Jones denies this.

* ''Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG'' has Silencia Venomosa and Michelle Glados. The former uses this trope to heighten her terrifying nature, due to being in part inspired by [[Franchise/Terminator the Terminator]]. The latter believes that [[StrawVulcan emotions are weakness]] and so appears to strip herself of emotions.

* Eifer Skute of ''{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'' could also count as an Emotionless Girl, since she often appears to be cool-headed and mature and rarely smiles. However, she can sometimes get violently-fluctuating emotions and therefore sometimes act out of character. Plus, she for reasons unknown seems to carry strong emotions towards Freudia.

* Dou Haguro from ''WolfGuyWolfen'' is an amoral emotionless guy who occasionally wonders "how his face looks" and casually leaves the keys to his sizable arsenal in front of a vengeance-crazed lackey [[spoiler: who he provoked by secretly unplugging the lackey's brother's life support]]. Not even being ambushed and shot several times while in the fifth grade can break him, until he encounters the AntiHero-Protagonist Akira Inugami during [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent that time of the month]] and [[FanNickname Smugwolf]] makes it very clear that Dou is still just a human and that surviving the ambush was pure dumb luck. Dou is so overwhelmed after feeling fear for the first time that after Smugwolf leaves [[VillainousBreakdown he laughs and cries uncontrollably at the same time]].

* Gamall in ''Thief 2'' is an example of this trope played to perfection.

* Primula in ''[[{{Shuffle}} SHUFFLE!]]'' is an excellent example of the repressed type.

* Homura Akemi from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' starts out as this. She never smiles, has a completely toneless voice, and acts like she's made of stone when [[spoiler: Mami dies and Sayaka turns into a witch.]] It is [[spoiler: subverted]] as we find out that she [[spoiler: invoked this trope ''on purpose'' after watching her friends die again and again while stuck in her GroundhogDayLoop. She went from being a ShrinkingViolet with glasses and a heart condition to a coolheaded stoic in a desperate attempt to finally save Madoka from her terrible fate.]]

* Eucliwood Hellscythe from ''KoreWaZombieDesuKa''. On top of showing little emotion, her main means of communication is writing in a notebook as opposed to talking. The reason for this being [[spoiler: that her magic is so powerful that any of her words can trigger devastating magic. Subverted and justified in that [[SugarAndIcePersonality she's not really emotionless]], but her magic requires her to be in control of her emotions]].

** [[spoiler:Asuna]] was also emotionless in the backstory. She was still emotionless upon arrival, but ten years of being bugged by Ayaka taught her emotions, albeit mostly emotions regarding irritation.

* Eureka from EurekaSeven. The girl is literally close to emotionless since her birth until she met her destined partner Renton and gradually fell deeply in love with him. Although 3 years ago she did experience her first emotion which is "surprise" when she realized she orphaned the three children she would later adopt.

** Lutecia in ''[=StrikerS=]''. Likely a result of [[MadScientist Jail's]] experiments and/or of growing up without her mother. She becomes more emotional by ''[=ViVid=]''.
