* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'': {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. [[Characters/MiraculousLadybugMarinetteDupainCheng Marinette Dupain-Cheng]] actually has quite a bold personality around other people, but she's too shy to approach Adrien directly, and gets nervous when he does pay attention to her. She also has blue hair.



** Lapis Lazuli has dark blue hair, is rather reserved and aloof until you get to know her, and holds a lot of anxiety and depression within her due to past trauma.

** Blue Diamond has light blue hair and is the most melancholic of the four diamonds. She also speaks in a soft voice. Her serene aesthetic however hides a [[spoiler: cold and vindictive side that she's not afraid to unleash if you cross her or her loved ones]].

tropes are not arguable, and this requires 'arguable' to even be in consideration


* Pieda in ''VideoGame/BatenKaitosOrigins'' is an example of the "smart and friendly" variant, thus fitting this trope perfectly despite not really being that shy, except, arguably, by comparison to her TrueCompanions.

* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' has a number of blue/indigo-haired characters, but the {{kappa}} Nitori Kawashiro a GadgeteerGenius who wants to be friends with humans but is incredibly shy around them, is the one who plays this straightest...at least in her first appearance in the tenth game, ''[[VideoGame/TouhouFuujinrokuMountainOfFaith Mountain of Faith]]''. She's [[CharacterizationMarchesOn become increasingly more outspoken with each appearance she's made]], becoming somewhat impatient in ''Subterranean Animism'' before [[TookALevelInJerkass taking a level in jerkass]] in ''Hopeless Masquerade''.

One more blue trope launched. This is a sub for The Smart Guy, so it's directly replaceable.


Interestingly, these people also tend to be the most [[TheSpock rational]] or [[TheSmartGuy intelligent]] in the group, [[IntelligenceEqualsIsolation perhaps because being socially timid is associated with bookworms]]. Sometimes, they seem very aloof and stoic, tending not to make any friends of their own. If they are, they are usually revealed as having a kind, friendly nature. In this way, they are the direct opposite of a FieryRedhead. A RedOniBlueOni pairing can be made with them by making the redhead brash, strong, and passionate, and the blue one calm, quiet, and down-to-earth.

** Mashiro Kurata's hair is actually mostly white, but with also a shade of blue. She's also shy and easily nervous much like Kanon and Rokka, and she has a low self-esteem. In fact, her [[RedBaron epithet]] is appropriately named "Full Speed Astern".

* Yuki plays this trope very straight in the movie ''Disappearance of LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''. Her normal personality is more debatable. Though seemingly an EmotionlessGirl, she has started showing some signs of emotion, including social awkwardness. Although some people claim her hair is a pale gray, it can also be seen as pale blue.

* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesSunAndMoon'': Lana is a downplayed example. She generally has no problem socializing with the others, but she is less outgoing than Mallow and gets a bit flustered at first when she is asked to lead the class' fishing lesson. A flashback episode reveals that Lana was very shy when she was younger and that Mallow was the first girl she ever warmed up to.

This is revealed to be due to [[spoiler:the bullying incidents at the Academy that led to her founding Team Star]]. She does [[DownplayedTrope become more outgoing and blunt]] after the player helps her out, though.

* Hajime of ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'' is a male example (though his bob cut makes him often mistaken for a girl anyway) - he's very quiet and lacking in confidence, preferring to stay on the sidelines helping people out by doing chores and making tea. However, this ''is'' an idol game, so he learns to gain at least enough confidence to sing and dance on stage pretty quickly, even if that doesn't always extend to confidence in any other part of his life.



* ''VideoGame/HuniePop'' has Nikki, an introverted retro gamer who initially uses outward hostility as a defense mechanism, but gets over it quickly. She remains very shy and somewhat nervous in social situations throughout the game. Through her dialogue options, she does mention her hair is dyed though. ''VideoGame/HunieCamStudio'' describes her as a 'shy nerd girl' and her clothing choices are more conservative than the rest of the cam girls.



* In ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' Evelyn from the Battle Maison is the least confident of the four girls and has blue hair to match.
* Serilly from ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' is a blue-haired mermaid who is shy due to her paranoia of being eaten by most of the other characters, due to a legend saying that consuming mermaid flesh makes you immortal, but also interested in making new friends due to her loneliness.

* Yoshino from ''Literature/DateALive'', in addition to being AnIcePerson, is extremely shy and soft-spoken. She deals with this by communicating through her hand puppet 'Yoshinon' whenever the situation calls for a more extroverted approach.



* Aria from ''Literature/SisterPrincess'' is probably the most shy of all her sisters.



* Mizore, the oboe player in ''Literature/SoundEuphonium'', is so shy that she comes off as an EmotionlessGirl and [[PseudoRomanticFriendship more-or-less idolizes]] her one real friend, flute player Nozomi. Her blue hair is all the more salient given that the show otherwise features realistic hair colors across the board. ''Anime/LizAndTheBlueBird'' explores her character further, with Nozomi explaining that her shyness comes from a lack of self-esteem and difficulty expressing what she truly feels.
