A common response to the stereotype of women as overly emotional, the Emotionless Girl is an enigmatic female character who appears to be entirely emotionless. Whether she actually is emotionless depends on the story and often on her level of characterization. As seen in the page quote, it's common for one of these characters to have had to hide any signs of emotionality, often for fear of being disregarded and written off as a Hysterical Woman. Sometimes, however, she is simply The Spock or, in villainous examples, The Sociopath. This can also be Played for Laughs since characters of this archetype are typically male. It is important to note that this is not simply a girl or woman who does not conform to the typically higher standard of emotional intelligence for females. This character goes beyond healthy management of emotion and enters a disturbing, perhaps even creepy realm of emotional numbness. Be on the lookout for another character making an "is she even human?" comment. As emotions are a major part of social interaction, the emotionless girl is usually depicted as having No Social Skills, which often leads to her being isolated or even ostracized. Even when not physically isolated, she is very likely to be Alone in a Crowd, aloof from the rest of the group. The rare Emotionless Girl who can handle social interaction is usually depicted as a cool manipulator who, while unable to empathize in a normal manner, has learned through experience how to handle people. Expect these examples to almost invariably be The Sociopath. People who do not react in the expected manner can really confuse her. If she's a teenager, there's a high likelihood that she's either a Goth, a Creepy Loner Girl, or both. This is a female-specific subtrope of The Stoic. Sister-trope to Ice Queen and Defrosting Ice Queen. Often overlaps with The Hermit, The Quiet One, Robot Girl, The Cynic, or Tin Man. In comedies, tends to partake in either The Comically Serious or Deadpan Snarking. Quite often a Foil to a more Hot-Blooded partner to form a Red Oni, Blue Oni or Straight Man and Wise Guy pair. Contrast Sugar-and-Ice Personality, where the character is alternatingly warm and aloof. |

In the Sherlock fanfic Baker School Blitz, Sherlock fits the model of the Emotionally Repressed Boy, in that he can express appropriate emotion (unlike his friend Jim), but often doesn't, instead preferring to be blunt, Literal-Minded, and calm. | |

Cameron, the female Terminator of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles fits this quite accurately, though she is quite capable of simulating human emotions when she needs to. The rather sudden shift from emotionless blankness to a laughing, smiling teenage girl is...creepy. Cameron's creepy stoicism gets played brilliantly in the premiere for the second season when John is trying to remove her processor chip after it gets damaged and she goes berserk. She slowly switches from an emotionless, Implacable killer to begging and pleading with John to not remove the chip, even going as far as to cry out that she loves him. The simulated emotion is disturbingly real, and even more so because the audience and John know it's simulated yet real. And according to Summer Glau, who plays Cameron, that might not have been simulated... This is further pronounced in the same season's eighth episode. Before Cameron enters John's room to discourage him from seeing Riley, she removes her jacket, leaving her in shorts and a tight white shirt with a visible red bra underneath. She then lies on his bed next to him. The audience and John know that neither of these actions is casual, but a calculated decision by Cameron's internal logic. It is this knowledge that creates tension in the ensuing exchange. Prior to this, there are a very few but very deliberate moments where Cameron shows inexplicable emotion - for example, when she hits Charley with a Death Glare for calling her a "very scary robot" in "Dungeons & Dragons", and a momentary tightening of her lips and nervous flicker of her eyes in "Vick's Chip" when John is removing her processor. Then it gets completely inverted in "Allison from Palmdale," where Cameron adopts the personality and memories of Allison, a girl her personality was based around. Seeing Cameron suddenly acting like a normal person, showing honest emotions, just amplifies the creepy factor. |

Homura Akemi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica starts out as this. She never smiles, has a completely toneless voice, and acts like she's made of stone when Mami dies and Sayaka turns into a witch. It is subverted as we find out that she invoked this trope on purpose after watching her friends die again and again while stuck in her "Groundhog Day" Loop. She went from being a Shrinking Violet with glasses and a heart condition to a coolheaded stoic in a desperate attempt to finally save Madoka from her terrible fate. | |

Helen, from Twig, is an interesting variation in that she is actually a nonhuman Tyke Bomb designed to look like a child, who is out of necessity a Master Actor. She feels emotions, but as they're disconnected from her instinctive physical reactions, she's actually at her most genuine with the people she cares for when she speaks in flat tones without emotion, and her friends consider it extremely worrying and unsettling if she feels the need to display emotion with physical cues while alone with them. | |

Maya from Zero Dark Thirty. She is very deadpan and so Married to the Job that she told torture victim Ammar to tell the truth instead of giving him heartwarming care. The most emotions she had expressed were mostly through exasperated anger or Heroic BSoD but she had a little laugh when Navy SEAL Justin told Black Comedy jokes. In the end, she shed one tear because of her Now What? situation. | |

In X-Men fanfic Guilt Trips, Northstar (Jean-Paul) is an Emotionless Boy, having asked his empathic friend Manuel da la Rocha to prevent him from feeling strong emotion. His reasoning for this is because here Manuel is an Emotion Eater and needs to fed off something, and he himself doesn't have the energy to deal with emotions. | |

In Suikoden V, Sagiri manages to stand out due to this trope. Rather than having a perfectly straight face, her expression is frozen in a permanent creepy smile, no matter how she feels. Combined with the way she speaks, she comes across as rather spooky, even BEFORE you learn her backstory: She's a former member of the Nether Gate, a clan of fanatical assassins who don't recruit new members - they raise them. Trained from infancy to be an assassin, she was taught to put on a childish, innocent smile to help her approach her unwitting targets... even though she's a grown woman now, and even though she escaped from the cult more than 8 years ago, her face remains set in that same smile. | |

A plot point in the Darkstalkers series of fighting games. Donovan, a half-vampire monk meets Anita, a young girl who is also a half-vampire, who has lost the ability to feel emotions. He decides to try to slay the world's supply of monsters to cure her. He succeeds in restoring her emotions and humanity but becomes a full vampire himself. This leads to a climactic flash-forward cliffhanger showdown between her as the messiah of the human race and him as her main opposition. Especially notable because the creators of the series were sometimes criticized in interviews for using this trope, which was at its peak at the time. | |

RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse: Midnight, from Nightmares Yet to Come, tends to be emotionless in near every situation (her exact age isn't given, but Trixie's known her for several years, and the implication is she's around the same age). She does briefly display emotion when objecting to a decision of Princess Luna's. It's hinted that her emotionlessness is either an act or something to do with brainwashing. Later chapters show she does feel at least one emotion: Anger, and plenty of it. | |

Fire Emblem: Marisa from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is an emotionally repressed version. She at first seems to be a stoic, emotionless Blood Knight. Turns out she just doesn't know how to act around people. She opens up to whoever you pair her off with in support conversations. Sue of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade also fits the trope quite well, though this is mostly because she'd much rather speak to nature than people. Seeing as she's the daughter of The Stoic nomad Rath from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, this should come as no surprise. There's also Idunn the Dark Dragon and Thea the Pegasus Knight also count; the first simply doesn't know what emotions are like, while the second is the emotionally repressed type with some dashes of Defrosting Ice Queen. Limstella of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade very much fits the bill despite being officially genderless, being a feminine-looking being who is unfazed even by the prospect of their own death. Some of this can be attributed to them being a morph artificially created by Nergal. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, a female Byleth very much fits the bill, being so emotionally restrained that even as a child she never once cried. A semi-major subplot is her discovering her emotions through her interactions with the students and staff of Garreg Mach Monastery. |

Just about any female Vulcan fits this. T'Pol from Enterprise provides a slight twist by being a Vulcan whose annoyance with humans isn't veiled as well as it could be. Jolene Blalock has claimed this is intentional, and this claim fits with the show's general depiction of Vulcans as being arrogant, hypocritical, and easily annoyed. She also becomes a bit of a crackhead in later seasons, addicted to a substance that breaks down her ability to control her emotions. | |

In The Last Unicorn, the titular character can be seen as such. In fact, she's rather stoic when she's in her normal form. Even if she can feel sorrow, joy, and fear, she's unable to feel some human feelings, such as regret and love. As an immortal being, she does not fear mortality. When she's turned into a human by Schmendrick, she's horrified. Following this traumatic event, she becomes completely emotionless and slowly forgets who she was. It's not until later in the story that she's able to feel emotions again. | |

In The Ship Who... Searched, Tia complains that many of her fellow shellpeople classmates tend this way and that psych counselors try to encourage it of her as well. A friend suggests that since they have no memory of life outside the shell, they have no experience of being physically nurtured and never saw or experienced much emotion, and are awkward around humans on top of that. Tia is different because she was seven years old when she went into the shell. However, her friend says that after a decade or two of service and experience with "softshells", Long-Lived shellpeople loosen up. The other viewpoint characters in the series are all more traditional shellpeople and while they all tend to be The Spock and try to conceal feelings, they do have rich emotional lives. | |

In Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, both Lightning and Hope are now physically unable to feel emotion (which is confusing since this Lighting default state anyway). This condition was forced on them by Bhunivelze so they could complete their mission without emotional hangups | |

Five-of-a-Kind in Manehattan's Lone Guardian scarcely ever emotes, even in the face of dangerous situations. She speaks quietly at all times, never raising her voice under any circumstances. Fiver might express mild annoyance at worst, but that's it. When a kidnapper has to put up with her for several days, the little pony's behavior initially freaks her out. | |

In Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Sonic meets a princess named Elise who has clearly suppressed her emotions (though she is much nicer to others than the standard). Throughout the course of their story, Sonic gets her to eventually open up, which leads to an apparent attraction towards Sonic. It's eventually revealed that the reason she suppressed her emotions was that her father told her not to cry, or else she would unleash the fire beast Iblis on the world. | |

One of the staple character traits of Leona Heidern in The King of Fighters is how much she represses her emotions. This is mostly due to the fact she once killed her entire village in a berzerk frenzy, and has major concerns about losing control of herself again. It's also why one of the staples of her team endings revolve around her comrades getting her to smile or laugh with their antics. | |

Samus in Metroid: Other M almost makes Lighting look lively. She speaks in an apathetic monotone throughout the game and only shows emotion in flashbacks when Ridley triggers her PTSD and Adam Malkovich blasts her in the back. The reason for this boils down to the voice direction for Jessica Martin from Yoshio Sakamoto; in Japanese, a stoic and non-expressive character would come off as cool and nonchalant, but in practice (and in English), it makes Samus sound robotic and submissive. In other games and media, Samus tends to be more expressive, even when she's a Heroic Mime. | |

Fate in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. Fate actually does have emotions, but keeps them suppressed as a defense mechanism against her mother's insane demands and even more insane punishment for failure. Although she recovers later, Fate remains quieter and more reserved than the rest of the Improbably Female Cast, albeit also considerably more sensitive. Lutecia in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. Likely a result of Jail's experiments and/or of growing up without her mother. She becomes more emotional by Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid. The youngest Combat Cyborgs- Otto, Deed and Sette- also count. Deed doesn't even change expressions while asking Wendi to get her hands off her breasts, and when she and Otto don't react as Wendi celebrates her victory over one of the Einherjar installations, Wendi gets annoyed and complains about having to be in the same group as them. The youngest, Sette, is almost completely devoid of emotions to the point of seeming robotic, and Tre tells her to put some life into her daily routines. |

Yandere Simulator The intro has the Villain Protagonist explain that she's never experienced emotions before, up until she met her Senpai. At which point, she experienced love for the first time. She soon felt rage when she met Osana, the first rival. What she does next is up to the player and how they choose to eliminate the rivals. It's eventually revealed that she has an unnamed medical condition that causes her to be emotionless, and she fakes having them around her father because she knows it bothers him. Yan-chan's mother Ryoba was very similar to her daughter, if not to the extremes Ayano gets to: she's capable of feeling annoyance, nerves, and pity, but only after meeting her Senpai, Jokichi. Like Ayano, she faked her emotions as well to seem like a sweet innocent girl in order to get away with murder. This is why she's unconcerned with her daughter's emotionless state (she figures Ayano will be just like her and start experiencing them once she meets her Senpai) and why Jokichi was desperate to find some sort of cure for her, leading Ayano to fake it for his sake (he doesn't want anyone else to go through what he did as Ryoba's Senpai). |

Ellen Harrison in Zero Context: Taking Out the Trash. She's described as the most cautious of her family to an almost absurd extent, being the utter picture of calmness and silence. Combined with "her perpetual half-lidded stare, soft-spoken voice and near inability to smile", she's considered creepy and borderline frightening... which is exactly how she likes it, since it means no one is bothering her. | |

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You: Eiai Nano's expression never changes beyond minor alterations for comedic effect; the first time she smiles even a little is in chapter 161. Blunt and cold, Nano is initially unconcerned with anything save for 'efficiency', forgoing companionship completely to spend all her time on schoolwork, to the extent that there are rumours around the school that she's an actual Robot Girl. When she initially falls for Rentarou, she attempts to repress it, but through a date he's able to prove to her that the time she spent with him matters to her, and she comes to consider the making of memories to be her primary goal, alongside efficiency. After this she's perfectly kind to Rentarou and the family, but she still retains a rather flippant attitude to obstacles; when sneaking into the Hanazono household, her initial suggestions for making their way past the pets both involve cold-blooded murder. (Each are rejected, of course.) | |

Attack on Titan: Annie Leonhart. It's not that she lacks emotions, it's just that she doesn't care about the world around her. When Armin (correctly) suggests that she's the female Titan, however, she smiles, and it is rather unsettling, to say the least. Mikasa cares about others, but usually acts aloof. She really is emotional, but has issues with showing her emotions. |

A rare male version of this trope: Mytho from Princess Tutu, who is literally emotionless, thanks to a spell that shattered his heart. When he's first introduced, he constantly has a blank look on his face, has no opinions about anything, and does whatever other people tell him to do. As the shards of his heart are returned to him, he slowly regains his emotions and free will. | |

Actually subverted in The Dresden Files. Ivy appears to be totally emotionless for quite a while after we meet her, but it turns out that this is actually one of the Archive's defense mechanisms. Ivy herself is lonely and has to cope with the fact that she has almost no personal identity; even her name is just a nickname Harry gave her. She's also cursed with the Archive's perfect recall, so she knows exactly how her mother felt about her. (Hint: It wasn't real positive). It's implied that since names have power, Harry starting to call her Ivy (and asking others to call her that) instead of the Archive allowed her to find strength in her own identity and open up to people. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Rei Ayanami was intended to be depicted as an emotionless, creepy child to deconstruct the Yamato Nadeshiko archetype that many otaku seemed to love, showing that a person with that behaviour would be very disturbing in real life. Ironically, she became a fan favorite. Anyway, Rei displays emotions every so often. Much like the "Spock eyebrow", the subtle hint that Rei is actually having an emotional reaction is if she bothers to make eye contact with something, which she normally doesn't do. | |

Discworld: Susan Sto Helit of Soul Music, Hogfather and Thief of Time shows no outward emotion on hearing of the deaths of her parents (though she spends the entire book struggling with grief in her own way, before finally breaking down at the end), and otherwise fits the "cool in a crisis" model. She does occasionally get angry. Don't get in her way at this point. Adora Belle Dearheart in the "Moist Von Lipwig" novels also comes across as emotionless, when she's actually repressing a mountain of rage. Alternatively, she comes across as a woman burying her issues under a mountain of bitter sarcasm. |

The Gods Lie: This is how Rio Suzumura initially comes across to Natsuru and their classmates. She always has a stoic demeanor at school, and when Natsuru asks her if she can take care of an abandoned kitten he found, her reaction is to accept as long as he pays her a specific "rent" for the service. As the two of them bond, Rio starts showing more emotion with Natsuru...and he eventually finds out just why she was so emotionally reserved and frugal. | |

Kanna from Inuyasha most certainly fits this trope, as she was created to be emotionless so that she would be undetectable by any trace of Demonic Energy or Scent. In fact, the translation of her name quite literally means 'void'. By the end, it is subverted as she actually has emotion as her heart can feel. | |

A Justified example can be found in the character of "Jane Doe" in Ride the Cyclone. Of the six teenagers who perish in the horrific roller coaster crash that kicks off the plot, five turn up in limbo looking no worse for the wear. Jane Doe, whose decapitated body was found in the wreckage, shows up with a creepy doll's head as a replacement for her missing cranium, having lost all her memories and personality when her head was severed. As a result she doesn't emote when in conversation, and she doesn't appear to understand the nuances of body language or verbal sarcasm. Even the character notes in the script describe her as a someone who "reacts in a literal way and largely without emotion, almost robot-like; the other contestants are totally freaked out by her." | |

In Grandia II, Tio is an Automata, a humanoid robot built to fight in ancient wars. After the group defeats her and removes the claws of Valmar (read: Devil), Mareg takes the emotionless machine under his wing, believing that she does in fact have emotions. In the end, it turns out he was right, but she only really starts to display these after Mareg dies saving the group . | |

In Origins, a Mass Effect/Star Wars/Borderlands/Halo Massive Multiplayer Crossover, Sarah increasingly looks like this. Justified, by her creators at least, because the last time she got mad she destroyed a lot of stuff. Her psychologist even notes that she was meant to be a weapon, not a person. Samantha Shepard tries to be this but heads into Not So Stoic territory before hitting a Heroic BSoD, falling into depression, and only recovering belatedly, providing an aversion. | |

The Child of Love: At the beginning Rei is very unemotional. Throughout the history, she has to struggle with new emotions she is unprepared for: her jealousy towards Asuka, her caring towards Shinji, her protective feelings towards Teri… and in the process, she learns to acknowledge them and becomes somewhat more expressive. | |

Aradia in Homestuck. Because she's dead. Later on, she seems to be recovering after being transplanted into a robot body, but this ends up not particularly helping: most of the time she's just as flat as before, but occasionally she'll get angry and violently flip the hell out. Even later, however, her dreamself's awakening and ascension to the God Tiers causes her to genuinely begin feeling and emoting again. | |

Law & Order: Organized Crime: Jet's default is very low-key, with little expression and no visible emotion most of the time. She does care however, it just doesn't show that much-Stabler is taken aback somewhat when Jet abruptly hugs him in concern when a hit is put out on him, saying how she "feels funny", which appears to be her way of saying she's worried. | |

The player character, Cardia, starts out this way in Code:Realize. Actually, she did develop emotions once in the past. She started off as emotionless, then gradually grew curious about the outside world and eventually wound up befriending a woman named Elaine and her daughter, Etty. Elaine took Cardia in when she was being chased by an angry mob, and so Cardia gradually grew to care for Elaine and Etty. Tragedy strikes, however, when Elaine falls ill due to Cardia's poison. After that, Cardia returns to the mansion where she first awoke and succeeds in killing off nearly all her emotions so that she could live her life as a harmless doll and never harm anyone ever again, making this simultaneously a subversion and played straight. Eventually, she does develop feelings for one of the eligible bachelors after spending time with all of them and becomes a full-fledged person. | |

Amoretta from GrimGrimoire, a recently made homunculus with an angel for a soul. She has emotions, but she's quiet, composed, and probably very depressed by the emptiness of her existence up to that point, so it's understandable that she's less lively than the ghosts who show up. | |

Secre Swallowtail/Nero from Black Clover is almost always calm and apathetic, rarely emoting and contrasting her with the more expressive Asta.

The One I Love Is...: Rei starts the story like this, completely emotionless, but she learns to identify and display their emotions and becomes more expressive as she spends time with Shinji and later Asuka. However, when Shinji disappeared for one month -and later when he chose Asuka over her- she reverted to her original behaviour (although Asuka managed to make her snap out of it the second time). | |

Ininia from Witch Hat Atelier is a very pretty but very creepy child who does not show any emotion other than an ice cold stare. Even though she likes to heal and help people in a technical sense, nothing shown had even registered as a mild surprise from her. This is further highlighted when she is paired with Coustas who is, personality wise, the direct polar opposite of her. Given that Ininia is an apprentice of a Brimmed-Hat witch, whatever she was forced to learn would have been so horrifying that she became numb or preconditioned towards forbidden magic. | |

Sue of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade also fits the trope quite well, though this is mostly because she'd much rather speak to nature than people. Seeing as she's the daughter of The Stoic nomad Rath from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, this should come as no surprise. There's also Idunn the Dark Dragon and Thea the Pegasus Knight also count; the first simply doesn't know what emotions are like, while the second is the emotionally repressed type with some dashes of Defrosting Ice Queen. | |

Jacqli of Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica semi-subvert this. Main plot-wise, she looks and acts like one, but when you're getting to know her in Cosmosphere or in synthesis scenes, she's become a sarcastic Tsundere. She was created to be emotionless by scientists, only to slowly develop earnest feelings anyway. Their less-than-pleased reaction to that started a chain of events that quickly made her lose all faith in humanity, becoming the genocidal Big Bad of the first game and later the snarky, aloof party member of the second. | |

Kyoko Kirigiri of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc has a calm voice and blank face at almost all times. She mentions, if the player decides to get to know her better, that she actually intentionally evokes this image, as it both makes her hard to read and gives other people someone to lean on in times of emotional stress. As the game goes on, this gets subverted and she begins opening up to others more. | |

Haruhi Suzumiya: Yuki Nagato, who is also the The Spock, The Stoic and the Badass Bookworm. The tenth novel reveals that she's surprisingly bitter about being designed to be so unemotive and that the IDTE could have made her more expressive like they did to Asakura, but didn't. It's implied she was created without the capability to express emotions, in the same sense a computer may be designed to not have a graphical display. This largely confirms the point below, which prior to this were based mostly on Kyon's interpretations. As the series progresses, it is clear that (due to Character Development) in spite of her lack of apparent feeling, Yuki is a warm, caring and kind-hearted girl. It could be said that Yuki and Asakura are inversions of each other and that both are subtle subversions of this trope (and by extension, Red Oni, Blue Oni). Yuki appears emotionless and coldly logical, but her inner workings are clearly fighting in the other direction. Asakura is what could best be described as a Purity Sue on the outside, while she is the creepy, emotionless girl whose attempted murder of Kyon was actually a calculated act designed to reach a specific goal. All the Humanoid Interfaces seem to have one emotion setting they do not deviate from, (which is... none for Yuki). Asakura is always cheerful, and Kimidori is always a polite Ojou. The other two interfaces could be considered a Double Subversion of this trope since they clearly do display emotion but apparently do not have any other emotions to display. Subverted by the "official-but-not-exactly-canon" Gag Series spinoff Haruhi-chan, which shows Yuki staring into space after completely finishing an anime/game series, and monotonously telling Kyon that "It was an emotional game." Aside from this, she actually laughs at one point, but it is hidden by her arm. The Alternate Universe spinoff The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan averts this trope in its characterization of Yuki. In this universe, Yuki is a Shrinking Violet who is fully expressive of her feelings, such as her crush on Kyon. Kuyou Suou, an interface of another alien entity, is even more alien than the other Humanoid Interfaces, communica__ting__in__mono__tone...broken__speech__ and generally remaining expressionless, though sometimes also having sudden creepy bursts of emotion. Her behavior is of one who simply doesn't even know how to act like a living thing, and she is so weird that Muggles who haven't been made to acknowledge her ignore her existence. |

Mischa from Endride is a child assassin who was brainwashed not to have emotions in order to turn her into a better killing machine. Even after being defused, she barely displays more emotion than quiet jealousy and mistrust. | |

Jerry on Seinfeld once dated a woman who appeared emotionally normal in most ways, but never laughed. Needless to say, as a comedian this bothered him. At one point he even tells her a joke, and she responds in a dead monotone that "That's very funny." | |

Limstella of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade very much fits the bill despite being officially genderless, being a feminine-looking being who is unfazed even by the prospect of their own death. Some of this can be attributed to them being a morph artificially created by Nergal. | |

Presea Combatir of Tales of Symphonia was, among other side-effects, robbed of her emotions when implanted with an Exsphere without a Key Crest. She became so robotically narrow-minded that she didn't even notice her father had died in his bed years ago, though his body lay there decaying the whole time. She gets better when she joins the heroes, who give her a Key Crest, but then she has to deal with the pain of everything that's happened while she was like that. She still gives off the impression of being emotionless even in the sequel, though she proves she's found a sense of humor within moments of her first appearance. | |

Gunnerkrigg Court: Antimony is both stoic due to a recent tragedy and unflappable in the face of weirdness due to a very unusual childhood. She soon begins opening up to her best friend, but her unnervingly emotionless demeanor shows no sign of abating. Recent events suggest that the appearance of emotions on Antimony's face is directly related to her friendship with Kat. Because she gets really creepy when Kat is in trouble. Also, it turned out that there is a limit to how far she will try to look blank, but pushing her to this point is not only mean, it violates basic fire safety. Then there's Jones, who is even more of a blank slate. Whether she's expositing, flirting, intentionally ticking her student off, or even affirming that something was "hilarious", her expression does not change. Antimony herself has speculated that Jones might be a robot masquerading as a human, but Jones denies this. Later developments have shown that Jones is neither robot nor human, but an immortal being who's been around since the planet's birth. |

Miyabi "Professor" Oomichi of GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class is extremely subtle in her expression of emotion, but her friends seem able to pick up on her emotions sometimes: during the yaminabe arc, there's a panel with a closeup of Miyabi's face looking stoic as ever, yet Tomokane can tell she looks happy. Also, the reader can see an expression of sadness — mostly in the eyes — when she realizes that the chick she had been caring for had fallen silent. | |

The Masque of the Red Death: Princess Scarlatti is quite stoic as Prospero tauntingly refuses to give her and her terrified husband refuge. Even having her husband shot with a crossbow and her former lover Prospero tossing her a knife and suggesting she use it on herself don't faze her. Her reaction might also count as a Face Death with Dignity moment. | |

Frozen (2013): Elsa is a deconstruction. Because her magical powers are controlled by her emotions, Elsa has grown up trying to be as emotionless ("Conceal, don't feel") but it's taken a massive emotional toll on her (and her family). Ironically, the fact that she tried to be an emotionless girl makes her less capable of controlling her powers, and in the end it's by embracing her emotions, namely her love for Anna, that lets her gain full control. Provides the page quote. | |

Star Trek sports a couple examples, such as: Seven of Nine from Voyager was, in her words, "raised by the Borg", with an emphasis on completing tasks efficiently rather than reacting to situations emotionally. In a typical day, her emotions range all the way from "mildly annoyed" to "mildly confused". In the seventh-season episode "Human Error", #264, it's learned that Seven's cortical implant is specifically designed to function as a kill switch to shut down her higher brain functions if she experiences strong emotions. This is presumably to prevent Borg from regaining too much individuality after being separated from the collective. Just about any female Vulcan fits this. T'Pol from Enterprise provides a slight twist by being a Vulcan whose annoyance with humans isn't veiled as well as it could be. Jolene Blalock has claimed this is intentional, and this claim fits with the show's general depiction of Vulcans as being arrogant, hypocritical, and easily annoyed. She also becomes a bit of a crackhead in later seasons, addicted to a substance that breaks down her ability to control her emotions. |

R. Dorothy Waynewright from The Big O. She's an actual Robot Girl. On at least one occasion, she expresses relief on never being programmed with emotions, although arguably she didn't need to be — she demonstrates disgust, loyalty, nostalgia, and numerous other emotions, just not at what a human would call full intensity. Sometimes her actions suggest she's far more emotive than she lets on but holds back because it annoys/unnerves Roger. | |

Raven from Teen Titans (2003) (emotionally repressed out of necessity more than choice). She becomes more and more open as the series progresses. Though Raven can actually be intensely emotional — you do not want to see her angry. She needs to stay repressed in order to avoid losing control of her powers and/or unleashing her Superpowered Evil Side. | |

Coira, the protagonist of White as Snow never shows emotions as they were, symbolically, bled out of her after a childhood illness caused by her mother rejecting her love. She is sometimes stated to feel things, such as disgust when her drunken brother asks to dance with her, but the emotion is so distant and she accepts the offer so coolly that nobody can tell. In a twist on the usual When She Smiles, the big sign of Coira opening her heart to someone is crying. | |

Sabrina (or Natsume in Japanese), the Psychic Gym Leader from Pokémon Red and Blue, appears as an Emotionless Girl in Pokémon: The Series. In the first episode in which she appears, she has that trademark creepy blank stare and a doll who sits on her lap and does all the talking for her. She beats Ash easily, then lets her doll "play" with him and his friends in her dollhouse. Later, the viewers find out she had a rough childhood and reacted by stuffing all her emotions into her doll (who represents her childhood self) and having no mercy on the trainers who come to visit her. Ash teaches her to laugh again and by the end of the second episode she's a normal girl (well, with psychic powers). In Pokémon Adventures, she almost qualifies as one, but still cracks a smile or a glare every once in a while. | |

Shimoneta: Hyouka has a perpetually deadpan expression and, in the anime, speaks in monotone, including rare instances when she's agitated. She only smiles once in the entire series — after she agrees to lie for Tanukichi on the condition that he would convince Oboro to return her yaoi doujinshi. Oboro is near identical to Azumanga Daioh's Sakaki in both appearance and mannerism. So he'll often make off-the-wall statements with a perfectly straight face and monotone and mean it. |

Danganronpa: Kyoko Kirigiri of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc has a calm voice and blank face at almost all times. She mentions, if the player decides to get to know her better, that she actually intentionally evokes this image, as it both makes her hard to read and gives other people someone to lean on in times of emotional stress. As the game goes on, this gets subverted and she begins opening up to others more. Maki Harukawa of Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is an even stronger example, as she was trained as an assassin and her line of work caused her to gradually lose her emotions. Regaining them through her connection with others is a huge part of her Character Development. |

Elesa from Pokémon Black and White was meant to come off as an Emotionless Girl. Additionally, all of her official artwork and sprites have the exact same face, implying she's rather expressionless too. After you win the gym battle, she has a Not So Stoic moment but quickly becomes embarrassed by it. For whatever reason both the anime and Pokémon Adventures have her being considerably more emotional, to the point where she's a Genki Girl in the anime. The animated trailer for Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 also has her less stoic than usual. | |

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Lana Skye, who had shut herself off to the outside world. Her control cracks when it appears her sister Ema is being accused of murder; she throws herself on the witness stand in a desperate panic. At the very end, when everything is settled she finally smiles. Vera Misham in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney is of the repressed type. She never changes her facial expression, instead drawing smilies on a notebook she always carries with her. In the good ending, she gives a proper smile at last. Agent Shih-na in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth always wears a stern, vacant expression and speaks in very short, to-the-point phrases (presumably in a very flat voice, if the game had real voices). This is to mask the fact she is actually a mole who infiltrated Interpol and her actual personality is quite jovial. |

In Flipside: After The Reveal Maytag herself is shown to be this since childhood, eventually learning to feign emotional reactions to fit in and deflect suspicion. Whether she's Becoming the Mask and developing genuine emotional bonds to people is something not even she is sure of. The Creepy Enfant Terrible Melter is a rare male example, showing no emotion even when committing murder or kidnapping people for experimentation. Justified in that he's an Artificial Human that the Thin Man created in an attempt to get into an area that's protected by a devastating Emotion Bomb field. |

In the first book of The Shattered Kingdoms, the Mongrel/Meiran/Lahlil is perceived to be this, although she actually just has very good self-control (the more impressive for the fact that Norlander telepathy normally transmits emotions, making them hard to hide). It contributes to everyone's fear and uncertainty as to what she actually wants. Her motivations are less hidden in the second book, although that might just be because readers now get substantial sections from her point-of-view (unlike the first book). | |

Parodied in a chapter of No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!. After watching an episode of an anime (strongly implied to be Haruhi Suzumiya), Tomoko decides to become an emotionless girl so people will try to get close to her and break through her shell. Unfortunately, nobody notices, and in the next episode of the anime, she sees the same character displaying emotion and everyone liking her better. | |

Kahlan of Sword of Truth has this as a public persona: A voice to freeze water. Another example is Nicci, who is more in the idea of an impassive Dark Magical Girl hardened by an unpleasant life until she no longer cares about life anymore. Richard does manage to get through to her in the sixth book, though, shortly before she does a High-Heel–Face Turn. | |

Eifer Skute of RosenkreuzStilette could also count as an Emotionless Girl, since she often appears to be cool-headed and mature and rarely smiles. However, she can sometimes get violently-fluctuating emotions and therefore sometimes act out of character. Plus, she seems to carry strong emotions towards Freudia. There's a perfectly good reason for this; she's actually a clone of Freudia created by Iris, hiding her true hair and eye colors (which are exactly identical to Freu's own) until the time is right. | |

Touhou Project: Danced around with Koishi Komeiji from Touhou Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism. At first glance, she comes across as a perpetually smiling Cheerful Child but she is actually an Empty Shell due to giving herself a Poke in the Third Eye, robbing herself of the ability to read thoughts and emotions... even her own. Subverted with Hata no Kokoro from Touhou Shinkirou ~ Hopeless Masquerade. She's actually a very emotional individual, but being a menreiki she can only express emotions through her masks and not through her own facial expressions. Interestingly, the plot of Hopeless Masquerade started when Koishi stole Kokoro's Mask of Hope (actually, Kokoro lost it by herself and Koishi found it lying on the underground. But she refused to give it back.), robbing Kokoro of the emotion "Hope" but allowing Koishi to feel it. |

Ai Enma from Hell Girl. Subverted in that she does have emotions, but she must repress them to carry out her atonement for the revenge she carried out on the villagers who buried her alive. Or else, she'll wind up in Hell. We first see it when she snaps before Hajime towards the end of the first season, and it's not a nice sight to behold. | |

In the second season it gets subverted, as it turns out that it was Dispell who was really a puppet and Silky's real personality emerges which is an exact opposite of the term 'emotionless'. | |

Parker on Leverage is a bizarre example in that while she does show emotions, they are typically wrong for that situation. Played with in "The Twelve Step Job" when she goes on anti-depressants as part of her cover and suddenly becomes a more or less normal, well-adjusted human being. In "The Snow Job", Parker has to pretend to be a patient dying of a brain tumor and Sophie is trying to help her prepare for the role. | |

Susan, from El Goonish Shive shows very little emotion most of the time, though it's less extreme than most examples and there have been a number of cases of explosive rage. Notably, her emotionlessness has a Freudian Excuse of being nearly killed by a vamp...aberration, then having the supposedly benign immortals recruit her, as a young girl, to kill said aberration. The event, understandably, left her mildly traumatized. She's recently been shown getting better and has even been seen to smile. | |

The cyborg assassins in Gunslinger Girl, as a result of the use of drugs and conditioning they're emotionally stunted. Beatrice is more emotionless than the others. Triela is even surprised when another cyborg dies and she feels very little emotion about it. Invoked with extreme prejudice in the case of Henrietta, when her deteriorating emotional state caused the Agency to, for lack of a better expression, 'reset her to factory settings'. She's the perfect assassin again, but her personality is little more than a robot soldier. |

Maud Pie in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, who is about as emotionless as the rocks she is obsessed with, which is a sharp contrast to her sister Pinkie Pie. She does show slight emotion whenever she talks about how much she loves her sister, or when Pinkie Pie is in extreme danger. Some lines from her seem to subvert it, suggesting Maud might be just as emotional as others but simply be unable to express those emotions in a way that ponies (other than Pinkie) can identify. | |

Amanda in Thoroughbreds, which is understandable since she's a sociopath, albeit one with a moral code and no thirst for violence. She's a self-described "skilled imitator," copying people's emotions so well that she used to believe that she really had them, including being able to realistically cry on cue. By the end of the film, though, she sports a genuine smile once when looking at a picture of her and Lily as kids. | |

Child of the Storm has, in the sequel, Maddie Pryor a.k.a. Rachel Grey, who was actively conditioned to maintain this attitude by Sinister, tending to communicate via Spock Speak, and maintaining a fairly robotic demeanour. The heroes find this deeply creepy, especially when contrasted with her Separated at Birth identical twin sister Jean Grey, who wears her heart on her sleeve. Mainly, it's played for tragedy, especially during the later parts of her introductory arc as she pulls a Heel–Face Turn and finds out the truth about herself (that she's not an Artificial Human created solely as a Living Weapon, and that she was stolen from her cradle and thus from a loving family), when it's revealed that while she's unfazed by anything combat related, up to and including a small horde of Eldritch Abominations generated as a side-effect of an epic psychic battle in the Nevernever, simply having people genuinely care/be concerned for her reduces her to baffled tears because she simply doesn't know how to deal with it. Thankfully, she gets better with time and therapy, but she still generally remains as The Stoic. | |

Subverted with Hata no Kokoro from Touhou Shinkirou ~ Hopeless Masquerade. She's actually a very emotional individual, but being a menreiki she can only express emotions through her masks and not through her own facial expressions. Interestingly, the plot of Hopeless Masquerade started when Koishi stole Kokoro's Mask of Hope (actually, Kokoro lost it by herself and Koishi found it lying on the underground. But she refused to give it back.), robbing Kokoro of the emotion "Hope" but allowing Koishi to feel it. | |

Valentine of Guilty Gear 2: Overture counts as one, and regularly speaks in a calm, monotone voice without changing it. However, when she gets her Villainous Breakdown once Sol stops the process of the Key by destroying it, that's where she gets her first emotion ever. This trope also extends to her successor in Xrd, Ramlethal, who sees her purpose as being an emotionless tool to be used by her "mother". At first, she only has two major expressions; complete stoicism and a Cheshire Cat Grin. However, much like the original Valentine, Ramlethal eventually begins to show emotion (especially thanks to the efforts of Sin and Elphelt), and moves further away from this mindset. |

Mio from Little Busters! is almost always found stoically reading books on her own away from others, and even when she's brought into the group she speaks with a very soft, calm bordering on apathetic tone and very rarely shows any extreme emotion. It does happen now and then, though, and Mio is an example of the Emotionally Repressed subset as deep-down she holds a shit-load of guilt based on an imagined sin she committed against an old friend of hers. | |

The Legend of Korra: Eska and Desna, who use Spock Speak and have no idea how to behave socially. It helps that Eska is voiced by Aubrey Plaza, known for her ability to speak deadpan. Then there's the stoic, unflappable, eternally calm Zhu Li — not in a creepy way but in an I'm-on-top-of-things-and-nothing-fazes-me-no-matter-how-insane way. Though not nearly as extreme an example as Mai, the two do put their skills to the same use. |

Susan Sto Helit of Soul Music, Hogfather and Thief of Time shows no outward emotion on hearing of the deaths of her parents (though she spends the entire book struggling with grief in her own way, before finally breaking down at the end), and otherwise fits the "cool in a crisis" model. She does occasionally get angry. Don't get in her way at this point. | |

Tsukihime: Hisui seems to follow this trope at first, though it becomes apparent fairly quickly that she just suppresses her emotions very well. The real emotionless girl is actually the ever-smiling Kohaku. Shiki discusses this at the end of her route, saying that despite Hisui seemingly emotionless demeanor, she actually shows a full range of emotions from sadness to fear to occasionally happiness, while Kohaku can barely express herself beyond her smile. You also learn in the first route that Arcueid Brunestud started out as one, until Shiki killed her and, by her own admission, broke 'something' inside her, resulting in the energetic, friendly version we're familiar with. |

In Wild Rose, because Mikhail's full-body markings manifest whenever he feels emotion, his mother raised him to feel nothing so he could pass for normal. As a result, he doesn't even understand what separates "loved ones" and strangers from each other. Bernt is a less severe example, simply being the utterly unflappable butler. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Asuna was emotionless in the backstory. She was still emotionless upon arrival, but ten years of being bugged by Ayaka taught her emotions, albeit mostly emotions regarding irritation. Zazie Rainyday is emotionless to the point of Cute Mute. Although she speaks up in the endgame of both the first anime and the manga, she still shows very, very little emotion. The manga makes you think she's showing a playfully humorous side- but no, she isn't. That's her twin sister. She herself is still mildly altruistic, infuriatingly mysterious, and as emotional as a dead yak. |

Not only does she get magic spells at her disposal, but her emotions are severely repressed so that she seems incapable of expressing herself beyond perpetual moodiness.

Seven of Nine from Voyager was, in her words, "raised by the Borg", with an emphasis on completing tasks efficiently rather than reacting to situations emotionally. In a typical day, her emotions range all the way from "mildly annoyed" to "mildly confused". In the seventh-season episode "Human Error", #264, it's learned that Seven's cortical implant is specifically designed to function as a kill switch to shut down her higher brain functions if she experiences strong emotions. This is presumably to prevent Borg from regaining too much individuality after being separated from the collective. | |

BlazBlue's Murakumo units (namely Lambda-11, Mu-12, and Nu-13) have varying shades of this. Lambda and Nu are the most obvious and only become expressive when near Ragna but it isn't a good sign for the latter. Mu-12, in her first appearance, only experiences emotions of nihilistic hatred during her Villainous Breakdown. Once she's freed from Terumi's influence, she acts more or less like her base form, Noel Vermillion. | |

In Kingdom Hearts, trapped in the Realm of Darkness, that same darkness dampened Aqua's ability to feel her own heart. She remarks in Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- that, after ten years in the darkness, she couldn't remember the last time she felt her heart stir. | |

Riza Hawkeye in Fullmetal Alchemist has a reputation in her military unit as being coolly competent — to the point of being slightly terrifying when she feels the need to lay down the law. She most definitely has emotions but it takes a fairly extraordinary situation to draw out anything other than polite, brisk, and slightly sardonic behavior from her. | |

Quake Woman in Mega Man (Archie Comics), during the "Spiritus Ex Machina" story arc. Her creator, Dr. Lalinde, believes robots should merely be treated as tools. As things developed, it was revealed that Dr. Lalinde was quite a Motherly Scientist, and when she almost lost Quake Woman in an accident, she removed her personality, feeling that losing a Ridiculously Human Robot is harder to deal with. After the events of the story arc, Lalinde realises that she made a mistake and restored Quake Woman's personality. | |

Eucliwood Hellscythe from Is This A Zombie?. On top of showing little emotion, her main means of communication is writing in a notebook as opposed to talking. The reason for this being that her magic is so powerful that any of her words or expressions of any kind can trigger uncontrollable, devastating magic. Subverted and justified in that she's not really emotionless, but her magic requires her to be in control of all of her emotions, including so much as showing amusement. | |

Agent Shih-na in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth always wears a stern, vacant expression and speaks in very short, to-the-point phrases (presumably in a very flat voice, if the game had real voices). This is to mask the fact she is actually a mole who infiltrated Interpol and her actual personality is quite jovial. | |

Kirika from Noir acts emotionless, but hides deep concern about her apparent amnesia. She becomes truly emotionless when her memory is restored. | |

Aselia and the minor spirit Nanaru in Aselia the Eternal - The Spirit of Eternity Sword are both rather emotionless. The latter isn't even an exaggeration or merely based on her behavior since her profile indicates that her sword has eaten away most of her personality. She genuinely feels very little until she gets to know Yuuto. | |

Shigeo "Mob" Kageyama from Mob Psycho 100 starts out trying to be one of these, due to his powers growing more unstable as his emotions build up inside him. As he gets a better handle on his powers, he starts letting himself express himself more. | |
