This character stands out for being physically graceful, agile, and light on their feet. Sometimes it seems like they could take off into the air at a moment's notice, and indeed, these characters are frequently associated with Flight or air elemental powers. As they walk, these characters could be prone to perching on things like trees or walking along narrow fences to show off their agility. Some might elevate this to supernatural levels by gliding over surfaces that shouldn't be able to support them at all. A sister trope to the Lightfooted is the Noiseless Walker. Contrast The Klutz, The Big Guy, and people who move With Catlike Tread. The Lightfooted is often a Fragile Speedster, although speed isn't necessary to qualify. This is also a necessary feature of Ballet. See also the Phantom Thief, who usually has to be silent and quick in order to be successful. May overlap with the Dance Battler and forms of Waif-Fu. See also Combat Parkour. |

Final Fantasy XIV: Doman and Hingan ninja are trained to be able to move quickly and silently across nearly any surface. In one quest, the Warrior is tasked with hopping onto the rooftops of Kugane and waiting on a rope only designed to support the weight of a paper lantern to lean over and drop dye on a mark's head. All of this without making a sound and vanishing before anyone can even think to look up. In the throne room of Dohn Mheg, Aenc Thon creates the illusion of a Bottomless Pit with only a thin, jagged tightrope providing passage across. While Alphinaud and Ryne express alarm and concern, Thancred remarks that this wouldn't fool a child and dashes across in a full sprint before jumping across the final length of the crevasse. He even remarks how good it is that he's light on his feet. Similarly, if G'raha Tia is brought as part of a Trust run, he'll declare that he's not afraid of heights and runs the whole length of the tightrope without slowing down. |

Robin (1993): Tim Drake tries to paint himself as such in comparison to Conner Kent when he has Conner dress as Robin to try and convince a villain that the "former" Robin (himself) that she's been sent to kill is dead. Conner later claims Tim was mistaken as Robin is only graceful and handsome when he's playing him. | |

Wax and Wayne: Wax uses Feruchemy to make himself lighter, generally going around at 75% of his normal weight, as it gives him an edge in combat. He can also invert it by discharging all the stored-up weight. | |

As a child, Kwai Chang Caine of Kung Fu (1972) was asked to approach his mentor without damaging large sheets of delicate rice paper draped upon the temple floor. Despite his small size and body weight, Caine left a trail of footsteps in the rice paper. Much later, after years of studying and training to be a Shaolin monk, young adult Caine was presented with this same challenge. Despite his now much greater size and body weight, Caine traversed the rice paper sheets with zero damage. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Aang's lightness has been commented on several times, so much that he's been given the name "Twinkletoes" by Toph. He's able to float down gently from ten feet in the air. While not an airbender, Ty Lee the acrobat qualifies as well. She is capable of running across a gondola line over a lake of boiling water, without hesitation or difficulty. |

Pearl from Steven Universe: in this solo song, she sings while dancing atop a glass balcony railing on the top floor of a hotel. She's just as agile in combat, where she's highly mobile and effortlessly dodges incoming strikes. All this is made even more impressive by the fact that she's very frequently en pointe whilst performing these feats. | |

Seen in Game of Thrones (and the book it's based on) because many characters are trained to be agile instead of being true fighters. Syrio Forel's combat technique is named "Water Dance" and is only focused on dance-like movement patterns. He claims, however, to be the best fighter of Braavos. Bron is considered a deadly fighter because he prefers to stay mobile and dodge attacks, instead of blocking with a shield, as Westerosi knights do. Oberyn's duel with Gregor Clegane reveals that he's extremely agile, being able to perform flips and stunts to entertain the crowd. |

In Changeling: The Lost, the Contracts of Separation allow a Changeling to walk across any surface, from snow to mud or even tissue paper without leaving any trace. They're a favourite of the Fairest Splat, who cultivate grace and poise. Amusingly, the Glamour cost is waived if they're wearing very fancy shoes which would be ruined if they didn't use it. | |

Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians fits this trope and uses his agility for many things, like walking along power lines. Later turns out to be ironic due to his origin story, where he died by cracking the ice and falling into a frozen lake while saving his little sister from the same fate. | |

Sunshine: Vampires move silently, subtly, and very quickly in ways that the human eye can't even follow. Part of the effect comes from being able to shift partly or wholly into an extradimensional "Other-space" as they go. | |
