History Main / SkipOfInnocence

* [[LittleMissBadass Annie]] from ''LeagueOfLegends'' moves like this. She certainly ''seems'' innocent enough- and to be fair, she probably doesn't really see the harm in [[PlayingWithFire introducing you to her]] [[BearsAreBadNews bear Tibbers]] if you get in her way.

* A rare male example is Ebisumaru from VideoGame/GanbareGoemon. Some games (The Super Famicom ones mainly) have him skipping as a walking animation.

* [[Wrestling/ChickBusters AJ]] does this only she's not innocent

* Twyla does this in ''Discworld/{{Hogfather}}''. Susan considers this to be part of her [[DeliberatelyCuteChild "ingratiatingly cute" persona]], claiming "real children don't go hoppity-skippity unless they're on drugs".

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Pinkie Pie skips more often than she walks. Though without the arm-swinging as she doesn't really have any. Given that she is a quadruped, the way she skips looks like bouncing.

A type of walk where the character swings their arms back and forth while skipping. This is a visual clue of that the character is young or immature. Characters that walk like this are most likely a CheerfulChild or a GenkiGirl. If it is not the character’s default walk it is sign of joyousness. Almost always done exclusively by [[AlwaysFemale females]]. Bonus points for [[NotSoInnocentWhistle whistling]] while doing this.

* Princess Kururu from the [[RhapsodyAMusicalAdventure Marl Kingdom]] series does this when she about to sing a song with her best friend.
* Cream the Rabbit walks like this in ''SonicBattle''.
* Roll does this in ''MegaManPoweredUp!'' after saving the day.

* Gwen in presearing of ''GuildWars''.
* One of [[Manga/DeathNote Misa Amane's]] supports in ''[[JumpSuperStars Jump Ultimate Stars]]'' has her doing this. If an opponent attacks her, Rem appears and inflicts the [[YouAreAlreadyDead death timer]] effect on them.
* A rare male example is Ebisumaru from GanbareGoemon. Some games (The Super Famicom ones mainly) have him skipping as a walking animation.

* In ''TheSims'', children can do this. Some Sims can do it in adulthood if they have enough playful points. Oddly enough, they do it with a very stoic face.

* [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} B.B.]] [[LittleRedFightingHood Hood]] does this for her forward movement, [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident however]] [[CreepyChild she]] [[AxCrazy is]] [[PsychoForHire anything]] ''[[TheFakeCutie but]]'' [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour innocent]].

* [[LittleMissBadass Annie]] from ''LeagueOfLegends'' moves like this. She certainly ''seems'' innocent enough- and to be fair, she probably doesn't really see the harm in [[PlayingWithFire introducing you to her]] [[EverythingsWorseWithBears bear Tibbers]] if you get in her way.

* Charlotte from ''MakingFiends''.

* In ''LightningLegendDaigoNoDaibouken'', Yuki Shirogane, the CheerfulChild of this FightingGame, walks this way during the storyline sequences.

* Proof that you can make this terrifying: the ''Pyro'' does this in the "Meet The Pyro" video for ''TeamFortress2'' [[spoiler:as it cavorts through the candy-colored wonderland it sees the battlefield being]]. The sheer contrast of this with its murderous activities is nightmarish.

* One of [[DeathNote Misa Amane's]] supports in ''[[JumpSuperStars Jump Ultimate Stars]]'' has her doing this. If an opponent attacks her, Rem appears and inflicts the [[YouAreAlreadyDead death timer]] effect on them.
