** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'': Auron. At first, he comes off as an aloof, stoic mentor. Then comes the {{backstory}}. [[spoiler:He started out as an ostracized monk and decides to go on the pilgrimage with Braska and Jecht because he had no other purpose in his life. One of his best friends from this time is later introduced as a corrupt Yevonite, and while he is killed, Auron is visibly angered by this. When the three are told by Yunalesca that the Final Aeon requires the sacrifice of both the summoner and one of his guardians, Auron relents, but fails to convince Braska and Jecht. It then turns out that this is all a lie, as the Final Aeon that kills Sin ''becomes'' Sin. Enraged, Auron attempts to avenge his fallen friends, and Yunalesca mortally wounds him. But Auron, [[MilesToGoBeforeISleep being a]] {{Determinator}}, instead reforms as an [[TheUndead unsent]], and in a heartbreaking display of resolve, kick-starts a good majority of the game's plot by crossing over to Dream Zanarkand and watching over Tidus, hoping to guide the next generation to finally end this terrible spiral of destruction. Auron's unexpected NotSoStoic moment, where he lashes out in an emotional frenzy at Zanarkand's projection of a younger him trying to get Braska and Jecht to not go through with the Final Summoning just shows [[ShellShockedVeteran how profoundly this event affected him]], [[FailureKnight and his attempts to]] [[TheAtoner ultimately atone for it.]]]]

Added DiffLines:
* Series/DoctorWho:
** The [[Creator/PeterDavison Fifth Doctor]] after the death of Adric.
** River Song, who tends to hide her feelings behind flirting and badassery, and whenever she's asked something she doesn't like, claims "Spoilers!"
* ''Series/{{Leverage}}'': It's implied that Eliot is this, too, but he's too damn stoic for even the audience to be sure.
* ''Series/DegrassiTheNextGeneration'': Liberty, particularly right after JT's death.
* Both Anton Mercer and Tommy Oliver of ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder''.
* Creator/BenedictCumberbatch's portrayal of the young Stephen Hawking in ''Film/{{Hawking}}'' is a mild example. He does show positive emotions at times - enthusiasm for science and affection for his girlfriend - and is {{Adorkable}} then, but throughout most of the film he's quite stoic about the fact that he's been diagnosed with a degenerative neurological illness and may not live to complete his doctorate. This arguably makes the few moments he does break down all the more heartbreaking.
* Gibbs and Ziva from ''Series/{{NCIS}}''. Gibbs, who is the resident stoic, lost his wife and eight-year-old daughter to a drive by shooting. Ziva was held captive by terrorists, tortured, and who knows what else for four months between seasons 6 and 7. As of the tenth season, she has lost her entire family - mother, father, younger sister, older brother - and yet whenever anyone asks her how she's doing, she always insists that she's ''fine''.
* Cristina from ''Series/GreysAnatomy''. Considering what type of show it is, it's not surprising, but she seems to be one of the few people who isn't [[{{Wangst}} whining all the time]].
* ''Series/NineteenTwo'': Through all his travails, Ben is wrapped tighter than...well, extremely tightly. Which makes the few glimpses of emotion he lets escape more powerful.
* The original "Behind Blue Eyes" by Music/TheWho is a textbook example. Not to be confused with Music/LimpBizkit's infamous cover version, which is a prime example of gratuitous {{Wangst}}, instead.
* Anyone with Aww! XP in ''TabletopGame/ChuubosMarvelousWishGrantingEngine''. The standout would be the Prodigy from ''The Glass-Maker's Dragon'', an icily emotionless usually-Russian badass who, deep down, believes HopeIsScary because the last time she hoped, she lost a loved one or had another traumatic experience.
* Alucard from ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}''. Especially if you factor the radio drama into account.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'': The majority of the cast, who wait until their "I'm dying" speech before they angst, and invariably reveal an ''insane'' amount of [[DarkAndTroubledPast misery in their backstories]] before passing away.
* Setsumi in ''VisualNovel/{{Narcissu}}'', although she becomes ''slightly'' less stoic as the story progresses.
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'':
** Beruka, who has a huge DarkAndTroubledPast that more than once comes back to haunt her, but she remains stonefaced and strongwilled. Even in the cases when she [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosts]].
** Flora [[spoiler:hid the fact that she was being held prisoner by Nohr for years, never telling the Avatar, or Jakob, or even Felicia. Even after she escapes her captivity, the only one she reveals the truth to is Jakob, who she is prepared to either kill or be killed by.]]
** Niles, arguably, toes the line between this and JerkassWoobie. The guy has had his own DarkAndTroubledPast and once was ''incredibly'' close to the DespairEventHorizon, and even now he's damn bitter about it, but he also keeps going on.
* Ledah in ''VideoGame/RivieraThePromisedLand.''
* Blackiris in ''VisualNovel/TrueRemembrance''. [[spoiler:This is a major plot point.]]
* [[spoiler:Joshua]] in VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou. It might not seem that way, but after the stinger ending, it's hard to see him as anything but.
* Atsuki [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Saijo/Saijou]] from ''VisualNovel/LuxPain'', particularly after finding out what happened to his family and yet, still use his stoic mask to hide it.
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
** Tali'Zorah has aspects of it. Not an example of having no emotions, but she nonetheless sees no reason in pity or resentment about what happens to her:
---> '''Tali:''' "I don't think life is about what you deserve."
** It is also one possible [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation interpretation]] of [[PlayerCharacter Commander Shepard]] due to the various background possibilities. [[VideoGame/MassEffect2 Later]] [[VideoGame/MassEffect3 installments]] play it even more straight with [[HeroWithBadPublicity everyone treating the player as a traitor]] for [[ButThouMust circumstances out of his/her control]] and the occasional NotSoStoic moment.
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'':
** It is entirely possible to interpret the Grey Warden as this. Even more so since the Warden's facial expression is rarely ever anything but TheStoic. One notable exception occurs in the Human Noble Origin [[spoiler: after finding the Warden's murdered nephew and sister-in-law.]]
** Also one of the possible interpretations of Hawke from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', if he/she isn't a SadClown.
* [[StreetFighter Cammy White]], when she's mid-awakening from Killer Bee to human being and starting to question her actions and orders.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'': Auron. At first, he comes off as an aloof, stoic mentor. Then comes the {{backstory}}. [[spoiler:He started out as an ostracized monk and decides to go on the pilgrimage with Braska and Jecht because he had no other purpose in his life. One of his best friends from this time is later introduced as a corrupt Yevonite, and while he is killed, Auron is visibly angered by this. When the three are told by Yunalesca that the Final Aeon requires the sacrifice of both the summoner and one of his guardians, Auron relents, but fails to convince Braska and Jecht. It then turns out that this is all a lie, as the Final Aeon that kills Sin ''becomes'' Sin. Enraged, Auron attempts to avenge his fallen friends, and Yunalesca mortally wounds him. But Auron, [[MilesToGoBeforeISleep being a]] {{Determinator}}, instead reforms as an [[TheUndead unsent]], and in a heartbreaking display of resolve, kick-starts a good majority of the game's plot by crossing over to Dream Zanarkand and watching over Tidus, hoping to guide the next generation to finally end this terrible spiral of destruction.
