| Characterizing Sitting Pose | comment |
A character tends to sit in a strange position. In many cases, this indicates their Cloudcuckoolander status and general informality. In particular, this is a common characteristic of Bunny Ears Lawyers, The Wonkas and Ditzy Geniuses who are confident in themselves enough not to care about social conventions. A particular pose may also point to specific character traits: for instance, a preference for Lotus Position may indicate that the character is into spirituality and meditation, and has a somewhat meditative mindset even in everyday circumstances. Likewise, sitting on a chair backwards can imply a certain degree of edginess and rebelliousness. A Super-Trope to Slouch of Villainy and Edgy Backwards Chair-Sitting. Compare Character Tics and Rebel Relaxation. |

One of the posters for Psych features Shawn crouching on a table-like structure while fist-bumping Gus, which perfectly showcases his off-the-wall personality. | |

In The Kingkiller Chronicle, the eccentric girl Auri has a penchant for sitting cross-legged, which gives her a monk/hermit-like appearance, and highlights her similarity to characters like Elodin, Teccam, and the old Listener from Jax's story (all of whom also share her aversion to shoes). | |

Moriarty the Patriot: Sherlock Holmes seems unaware of how to properly use a chair much of the time, including crossing his legs on it, propping his feet up on the seat, sprawling across them untidily, sitting on tables—all of which is in stark contrast to William's fairly formal posture and underscores how little Sherlock cares about conventions. And, once he shows up after the Time Skip, he sits neatly with crossed legs to showcase just how much he's matured. | |

Soma Cruz sits the same way in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, and likely for a similar reason: He's the reincarnation of Dracula, and so the castle is his, in a way. | |

Kung Fu (1972): Kwai Chang Caine routinely adopts a Lotus Position sitting pose when he has nothing to do at the moment, being a Shaolin monk and a Martial Pacifist. Often, he'll sit quietly after being captured, to conserve his strength. Too late, his captors learn it was part of an I Surrender, Suckers gambit, and that they've brought a One-Man Army into their midst. | |

Zootopia: The Yak at the Mystic Spring Oasis is first seen at the reception desk in a Lotus Position sitting pose, humming the "ommm" mantra. He's an absolute mess, with circling flies galore, and a goofy voice: almost a classic The Ditz. Thing is, he also has an eidetic memory, recalling minute details about Emmet Otterton that even the yoga instructor (an elephant) doesn't recall. | |

The Prophecy: All angels tend to sit like perching birds, implying the presence of their wings even though they are usually not seen in their winged forms. This is particularly noticeable in The Prophecy 3: The Ascent, with the angel Gabriel, who had been turned human and thus stopped perching, regains his angelic nature in the end and is last seen sitting perched on an overturned car. | |

Heavy Metal: Ard, the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, is seen slumped across his throne. His legs dangle over the left armrest, while his shoulders rest on the right armrest. He greets the muscular Den flippantly, and seems unperturbed when Den overpowers his guards, then aims a firearm at Ard. Even after Five Rounds Rapid, Ard merely giggles at his bullet holes, which heal in seconds. "I could see why they made this guy their leader," Den thinks to himself. | |

Five Easy Pieces: Rayette has two scenes where she is shown grooming herself while sitting on top of bathroom sinks. And not wide countertop-style sinks either, but basic sink basins jutting from the walls. It shows how she is preoccupied with how her boyfriend Bobby and others see her, but also how she is ignorant of social etiquette that those above her class would know about. | |

Saturday Night Live season 1 episode 8 (host Candice Bergen). In one sketch, Chevy Chase plays an elf. During the sketch, he repeatedly crouches on a sofa and a table in an odd manner to show his elf nature. After his father is revealed to also be an elf, the father crouches on the couch too. | |

In Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, when Alucard sits on chairs in Dracula's castle, he always leans back and crosses one leg over the other. This probably demonstrates that he feels relaxed in his father's home, or his disdain for the evil forces inhabiting the castle. Soma Cruz sits the same way in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, and likely for a similar reason: He's the reincarnation of Dracula, and so the castle is his, in a way. |

Lyra in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Her awkward, bipedal manner of sitting in "Dragonshy" was initially just an animator amusing themself, but it gained so much attention among fans that it became an Ascended Meme in "Slice of Life". | |

Sherlock Holmes listens to those that come to him for help by sitting in his chair, head tilted back, eyes closed, elbows on armrests, and fingertips touching. One might assume that Holmes holds little interest in the client's tale until Holmes asks such pointed questions that it's clear he was analyzing every detail. | |

Succession: Roman Roy has a habit of either sitting on things that aren't chairs (like a bathroom cabinet) or sitting on normal chairs in bizarre ways (like sitting on the top of a chair, his feet on the seat). It's a visual reminder of how little he cares about professionalism or manners. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: William Riker likes to sit on a chair leaning to a side in a way that looks like a slouch and he sits down by walking to the back of the chair and stepping over it, reflecting his occasional Cowboy Cop tactics. Also a case of Real Life Writes the Plot because Jonathan Frakes has spinal problems and this was the most comfortable way he could sit on the chairs designed for the "Enterprise" sets. | |
