The Cute Mute has an appearance that's innocent to a fault. Whatever situation that causes their inability to speak also gives them that clueless, childlike demeanor. Unlikely to know or grasp social conventions, they will often be found innocently doing awkward things that spell trouble for the other characters. Lack of speaking alone does not qualify a character for this trope. Someone who can't speak but otherwise doesn't fit the trope is The Speechless. Someone who is physically able to speak but chooses not to is Elective Mute; someone who can and does speak but is never shown to do so onscreen is The Voiceless. Also compare with Speech-Impeded Love Interest. In a musical, she's often The Singing Mute. See also Sexy Flaw, for when the character's muteness is seen as a romantic "turn-on". |

Errand, the little boy in the Belgariad, Never Learned to Talk and is initially capable of only saying the word "Errand", which is why the party takes to calling him that. It's explained that when Zedar found him, all he said was "I have an errand for you, boy"; Errand repeated the one word and followed him. Over the next two books, he learns more words, but he can only say one-word sentences. After the Time Skip between the Belgariad and the Malloreon, he learns how to speak properly. In the Malloreon his real name is revealed to be Eriond; he explains that he picked up the word 'Errand' from Zedar because it sounded familiar to him. | |

The Mongrelfolk of Dominic Deegan are apparently a race of them; the only two that we come across are Bort - a peaceful, Non-Action Guy farmer who communicates by crudely carving words onto stone slabs and wooden signs - and a mongrelfolk girl with No Name Given who has a crush on him. Bort does have a scene where he speaks, but it's implied that it's the nature of the Eldritch Location he's in that's allowing him to do so. | |

Shouko Nishimiya in A Silent Voice is deaf and as such communicates, or at least tries to, with a notebook. This failed early on, because her fellow students saw her muteness and the notebook as reasons to mock and torment her. She is able to speak, but her deafness leads to her words being extremely strained and hard to understand. | |

Touhou Journal's version of Reimu is mute, but is exceptionally cute and kind, a very different depiction from her usual portrayal as a Jerkass. Despite her silence, other characters seem to be able to understand her just fine. Other Cute Mutes include Sanae, who also boasts Tareme Eyes; Kisume, who always has the same indifferent look on her face; and Miko, who communicates via written text on her scroll and makes friends with Reimu mere moments after they meet. | |

Cassie Chan, the Pink Ranger from Power Rangers in Space. Usually your average Action Girl and Asian Airhead, she turns into that in the aptly named "Silence Is Golden" episode, because she's forewarned that her enemies and trope namers Psycho Rangers are pursuing her by tracking the sound of her voice. A weird and long series of unfortunate events force her to keep communicating by pantomimes and cutish expressions, until a falling Baby Carriage forces her to break her self-imposed vow of silence. | |

Lise Acquin in the French novel Sans Famille by Hector Malot (and the media coming from it, like the movies and the two anime series). Remi, the vagabond child protagonist, who becomes close to her, learns that it's not permanent and she'll eventually recover if she's, for example, faced by a violent emotion. They get separated a few months later as the Acquins is scattered after her father is put in a debt prison, and Remi going back to wandering as none of Lise's uncles and aunt can take him with them. And near the end, Lise recovers her voice when hearing Remi, whom she thought she'll never see him again, singing his trademark Napolitan song. Years later, she and Remi get married. | |

Raj isn't mute in the early years of The Big Bang Theory, but he can't talk to women unless he's drunk. Women seem to think this is endearing. Later, Howard and Penny decide to hook him up with Emily, a non-verbal deaf-mute friend of Penny, with Howard acting as a Translator Buddy. They both reason that Emily is cute enough to be endearing and likeable, and being a pre-verbal deaf girl wouldn't be bothered by Raj's own condition. This doesn't work because Emily ended up being a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, a really talented Gold Digger knowing that Raj is the richest guy in Penny's social circle and hoping to siphon a whole lot of his fortune, turning against him as soon as his family threatens to strip them both of his conspicuous allowance. | |

Christine Royce from Fallout: New Vegas: Dead Money not only had her vocal cords cut by an Auto Doc, but prior to that was lobotomized leaving her unable to read or write, and is reduced to communicating with hand signals. While she is not conventionally cute, she is still easily the most moral character of the DLC's cast (barring a Very Good Karma Courier), and if the Courier treats her right they can exchange very sweet and touching friendship/ambiguously romantic moments. She gets her voice back at the end, though it's not her voice per se; the Auto Doc gave her a copy of the vocal cords belonging to the long-dead Vera Keyes. | |

Sawyer from Black Lagoon is a Perky Goth, true, but ultimately she's a downplayed example.

In Peter Pan, Tinker Bell doesn't speak, but only jingles like, well, bells. It is later revealed in her own movies, Tinker Bell does speak, but to humans it sounds like the jingling of bells. It's quite clever if you think about it — we don't know her language, that and there is a lot of comedic potential for her miming as well. It's a Running Gag in Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson's adaptations. | |

Berserk: Poor Casca went insane after Griffith raped her during the Eclipse and was reduced to the mental capacities of a 2-year-old. Interestingly, "mental capacities of a two-year-old" extends to more than just her speech; she had a tendency to put things in her mouth, like pearls and Puck. She also has a bad tendency to wander after anything that catches her eye, making her former lover's task of protecting her much more difficult, though as Guts learns in the Millennium Falcon arc, she's still capable of defending herself to some degree if she needs to, as a group of bandits that tried to rape her learned the hard way. It might depend on what translation but she seemed to be able to say only one coherent word: "no" whenever someone tries to have his way with her like during the trauma of the Eclipse. | |

Nill from Dogs: Bullets & Carnage. Her being mute is the result of being genetically engineered to have features that appeal to certain fetishes and make it easier for her to be sold into prostitution (in this case, a pair of tiny wings), but the method is inexact and often leaves the subjects missing something (in her case, her voice). | |

The slave girl Eirene from Rome is this in her first few episodes. Justified because she doesn't speak Latin (yet) and is understandably terrified of her masters. The trope plays a big part in Titus Pullo's attraction to her, and is the reason why he doesn't treat her like he usually treats women. | |

Flandre of Princess Resurrection only says "Huga", but Hime understands what she is saying. Likewise with the rest of Flandre's "siblings". Played straight wither a "Mermaid" character (No name given, she simply called that) who lost her voice and got stuck on a ship until she turned into a Blood Warrior after saving one of the characters (she could only use her voice once and would've dies afterward). | |

Helluva Boss: In "Mammon's Magnificent Musical", during the meet and greet before the final round of the clown pageant, Fizzarolli is approached by a mute imp child (named Oliver, according to Word of God) who communicates with Signed Language. Fizzarolli communicates right back, signs an autograph for Oliver and encourages him to follow his dreams. After he's performed his number in the final round, Fizz thanks the audience for their support, and upon spotting Oliver he thanks him as well with sign language, leaving Oliver to smile in response. | |

Subverted by Meru Otonashi from Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei. Innocent-looking and too shy to talk, she communicates by using her cellphone to send people horribly abusive text messages. On one occasion when her phone lost its signal, she began jabbering in a way that another character interpreted (from personal experience with just such jabbering) as a sign of Demonic Possession. | |

Subverted in Futurama: Nibbler appears to be this, but it eventually turns out he can talk and is intelligent. The Planet Express crew remains oblivious to this because he erases their memories every time he reveals the truth. In the Bender's Game movie, it was revealed that Nibbler had actually forgotten to mind wipe them the last time that they heard him speak, and thus as of the sixth season has realized it no longer serves a purpose to pretend to be silent and actively talks. |

In Planescape: Torment there's Ecco, a Platonic Prostitute with some very important information that you must learn to get through the game, who unfortunately has her voice permanently stolen. You must cure her muteness by giving her a Fiend's Tongue, but its original owner keeps using it to make crude insults and not letting her get a word edgewise. Fortunately, there is also an antidote. | |

Saoirse from Song of the Sea is an adorable 6-year-old girl who can't speak. This is because she is half-selkie and cannot talk without her white coat, which her father keeps hidden since he doesn't want to lose her like he lost her selkie mother. She becomes able to speak after she's reunited with her coat, and after her mother severs the tie between her and the fairy world, she's able to speak permanently. | |

Shadow Hearts: From The New World: 'Lady'. She never speaks, is an Emotionless Girl, can inspire love in the heart of a sociopathic psycho named 'Killer', and was not so much Raised by Wolves, as not raised at all. She can also kill you with a flick of her wrist just because you happen to be there. She's like this because she was originally the sister of Johnny Garland and during a ritual to bring them back from the dead, she gave up her "will" (life force) to save her brother, which turned her into a "pure mass of malice" — a being with no memories or humanity. | |

She's not completely mute, but she can only repeat what other people say, and is very cute and childlike. It's later revealed that she's not actually human, but the human form of a substance known as SOLU, a non-sentient life form from space which is full of Cosmic Energy, and which instinctively replicates anything it finds useful (hence her repeating others' words). | |

Akira Oono of High Score Girl is a variation; she is never shown talking on-panel and is incredibly shy to the point that she would rather prefer to communicate with her best friend and fellow gamer Haruo via body language, her actions in video games or through wanton violence. Thankfully for her, Haruo is not only Made of Iron but is also perceptive enough to easily read her physical expressions most of the time. It's implied to be a form of social anxiety disorder stemming from her incredibly Spartan homeschooling.. | |

Fluffle Puff only "speaks" in raspberries, gasps, and other assorted noises- she occasionally converses with characters via raspberries somehow. One post had her and Chryssi undergoing a "Freaky Friday" Flip- Chryssi could speak in Fluffle's body, but FP didn't in Chryssi's, so we're not sure if Voices Are Mental or if she can, but just doesn't. She can write though, albeit in a very child-esque way. | |

Played with by Laura in Logan. She's an 11-year-old girl who is an odd blend of Wise Beyond Their Years and showing signs of significantly stunted emotional development, and for much of the first half of the film is apparently unable to speak. The twist, revealed late in the film, is that she actually can talk, for whatever reason (trauma, wariness, etc.) she chose not to. However even once she does begin to speak, aside from a heated argument with Logan she doesn't do so at length. | |

Linear Cannon of Evolution: The World of Sacred Device is completely mute, often showing her approval or disapproval of situations with nods, head shakes, backing away in disgust, and tilting her head to indicate she's thinking or confused. She doesn't actually say a word, and apparently only makes very quiet noises that don't have any sentence structure or sound like any words. This actually does lead to a relatively serious moment when she notices that Euegene Luitipold is creeping up behind Mag Launcher and co. in a large robo suit, but cannot speak and thus they cannot somehow hear the massive metal monster come towards them. By the second game she has begun talking, apparently knowing how and just choosing not to, but her timid nature still has her speaking only one or two words at a time, and often not involving herself in conversation at all, still preferring to let everyone else speak and just nod in agreement or shake her head in disagreement. | |

Chane Laforet from Baccano!. Her fiancé, Claire Stanfield, lists her muteness as one of her Charm Points — though he carries on impressively long conversations with her regardless, thanks to the frequent use of yes/no questions and an apparent ability to read her mind. | |

Master of Martial Hearts: Kumi Honma, Natsume's mother. Your average MILF, caring and lovely. Mute due to an unspecified accident in the past, she communicates by Sign Language, using her kids as a proxy. Subverted as her unspecified accident gets revealed. She's a former Action Girl, who after losing a Street Fighter expy tournament got her voice box torn out, her personality mindraped into total obedience, AND was sold into sexual slavery. Since then, her whole life had been an attempt to regain a semblance of normality and hatch a complicated Revenge by Proxy involving her offspring and protagonist Aya Iseshima, who is the daughter of her captors. | |

Harpo Marx, most notably in Duck Soup. He can't talk at all, and instead talks in horns, which leads to the most clever scene he's ever done where he is able to carry on a phone conversation by honking horns in such a way that it sounds like replies. In real life, Harpo spoke with a Brooklyn accent, and occasionally swapped places with Chico in their stage act. | |

In Mitsumete Knight, Sophia gets hit hard by this trope near the end of the game, as she suffers a psychological trauma caused by being in the middle of the terrorist bombing of the Theater. She can get partially better if the Asian stays by her side and visits her each week-end at the Hospital : she'll then get her voice back, but won't be able to sing as her voice is too rough and low. But if you manage to get her Happy Ending after that, she shows signs that she'll fully recover, as she manages to sing beautifully for him. | |

Sona Buvelle, the Maven of Strings of League of Legends. A cute Hatsune Miku-lookalike with a gorgeous appearance that can only "speak" via telepathy (though her 2020 lore and dialogue update made them more akin to "internal monologues", in written material she uses sign language) and plays melodies that can support her allies or disrupt her enemies with her etwalh. | |

Rita Rossi from Ashita no Nadja. She lost her voice after seeing her parents' death in an horrendous fire that consumed their circus, which also left her with a phobia of anything fiery, even stoves. Halfway in the series, Rita recovers her will to speak when Nadja was trapped in a fire and Rita is the only one able to tell her how to get out of the burning place. From then on, she becomes a Genki Girl Motor Mouth. | |

Celty from Durarara!! is an interesting take on this one. Because she doesn't have a head, she can't speak or communicate using facial expressions, but she can communicate well enough by typing things out on a cellphone or computer. (Her roommate and later fiancé Shinra can tell what she's thinking or trying to say from her body language, though — as Celty puts it, he "can read the expressions on the face I don't have.") Celty also averts the "clueless or childlike" stereotype; she's very intelligent and fully understands what's going on around her, and her twenty-odd years spent in Japan have given her a thorough understanding of Japanese social norms. She is very cute just not in the innocent, childish way you would normally expect. | |

Shizune from Katawa Shoujo plays with this trope: she is cute and mute, but has has a very forceful personality and is even the Ms. Fanservice of her game. Evidence seems contradictory on whether or not Shizune is physically mute (as the developers claim) or would rather avoid speaking since it'd make her sound bad (being deaf), as some scenes seem to hint at her being able to vocalize after all. During a sexual encounter in the student council room, it's revealed that Shizune can audibly groan. So her vocal cords are fine, it's just that, being deaf since birth, she has no concept of spoken language, and thus "mute". | |

The Little Mermaid: Ariel is mute for much of the film because she traded her voice to Ursula to become human. Ursula meant this to impede her romance with Eric, because the prince fell in love with Ariel's singing voice, but it doesn't really stop it. In Andersen's original story, the loss of her voice was permanent. In the Golden Films version of the story, Lena ultimately gets to marry Stefan, like their Disney counterparts, but unlike that version, Lena seemingly doesn't regain her voice, implying that she is a mute for life. | |

Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force: Lily Strosek, a Mysterious Waif that appears to be something similar to the first Reinforce. She's only capable of communicating through telepathic thoughts. Flashbacks later reveal that she used to be able to speak, but the trauma during her time confined as a lab experiment rendered her mute. In other words, a woobie who can't talk, i.e cute. From the same manga brings a subversion with Stella Irvine of the Huckebein. She seems like this and seems to be incapable of speech, as well as checking off the marks of this trope. But once she is connected to the ship and is able to speak, her words show that she is anything but cute. |
