This character isn't The Speechless, and is definitely not The Voiceless. Nor are they the Ineffectual Loner. They just rarely talk, so anything which IS said carries extra weight. In most instances, The Quiet One is physically imposing, and is either The Big Guy or The Lancer — perhaps also a Gentle Giant or Genius Bruiser. If a member of The Squad, the Quiet One will typically either enjoy killing a bit too much or suffer anguish over the fact that they have killed and must continue to kill. If this is ever explained, it's credited to their former civilian occupation being one that abhors death and destruction. Often, this is the member assigned to carry the BFG. This character's quietness may be a reflection of deep psychological problems. Otherwise they just come across as cool, calm, collected, and slightly above the madness of their universe; a less vocal Deadpan Snarker. You might expect The Quiet One to be a loner, but unless they're the Aloof Big Brother (or Sister), that's hardly ever the case, probably because of the assumption that Loners Are Freaks. Different from The Voiceless in that The Quiet One can be seen talking occasionally, not just once during some special moment. Differs from Elective Mute in that this character's silence isn't the result of a specific decision to avoid speaking. Unsurprisingly, the Quiet One isn't likely to be partial to small talk, and may have an enigmatic non-answer for any questions people might ask them. A Sub-Trope of The Stoic. See also The Silent Bob. Compare Heroic Mime, Silent Antagonist. Contrast Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness, Motor Mouth. If The Quiet One has a Berserk Button, it could be Beware the Quiet Ones. |

Likewise, Shin Megami Tensei IV's main character Flynn is noted to be a man of very few words. He very rarely opens the conversation, and when he responds to questions, he's implied to be very direct. The game itself lampshades this with The Bartender, who notes he's very rarely seen someone who talks as little as Flynn. | |

The antagonists in each of the three original Terminator films don't really say much. The second movie plays with this, as the T-1000 actually does get a decent amount of lines at first while the T-800 doesn't say too much like the one from the original. Then after The Reveal that the former is actually the villain while the latter is the hero, the T-800 begins talking more frequently, while the T-1000 is almost entirely silent for the rest of the film, only having two really brief conversations from that point (four if you count when it's taking someone else's form). | |

X-23 in her very first appearance in the comics, NYX, has only a handful of panels in which she says anything, and the rest of her companions consider her a Creepy Child as a result. She has perhaps even fewer lines (and none in English prior to the last two issues) in her origin series, X-23: Innocence Lost, where she's arguably the Decoy Protagonist and it's her mother/creator Dr. Sarah Kinney who's the main character. In fact, it's the abuse she suffered in Innocence Lost (along with the loss of her remaining family to protect them in Target: X) that led to her near-muteness in NYX. Though she starts opening up more after joining the X-Men, she nonetheless tends to be The Stoic of whatever group she's in and speaks generally sparingly at best. | |

Aharen-san wa Hakarenai: Reina Aharen can speak, but her voice is so soft that it's sometimes hard to tell what she's saying. The whole start of the series is Raido trying to learn to cope with this, whether by learning to lipread and escalating to ever more outlandish ideas like morse code and smoke signals. Aharen's voice is so soft that, when she takes Raido to karaoke, not even the microphone can pick up her voice. | |

Mayu Morita in Morita-san Wa Mukuchi, which means "Morita-san is silent." She never says anything in any episode. We do hear her thoughts and sometimes see someone's reaction to what she just said but in all instances on screen she at most will nod or shake her head. | |

Dragon Age: Sten in Dragon Age: Origins, is very much like this. He's extremely intelligent and deep but doesn't chat much except in certain situations. There is a point when he monologues a bit with the player character about the nature of mages, and the Warden can respond by saying that it was the most words he/she ever heard Sten say. Sten's Deadpan Snarker reply: "I've been saving them up." In-universe materials indicate that most Qunari are like this when they aren't speaking their native tongue. Since they pride themselves on doing everything perfectly, the prospect of possibly committing a linguistic error mortifies them. In the second game, the Arishok has little to say but "begone" to anyone besides Hawke. Dragon Age: Inquisition has Grim, a member of the Iron Bull's mercenary company, who never says anything except "Hm." Bull is half-convinced that he's the missing heir of some obscure royal family because nobody can get him to say much of anything. |

In Beauty and the Feast, Yamato is a quiet kid most of the time who tends to go through life with a straight face. His refusal to blow up at his upperclassmen when they're bullying him for being a first-year regular and his seeming lack of motivation causes others to draw the wrong conclusions about him. | |

Bleach: Chad sometimes speaks in monosyllabic noises. It's been lampshaded in the story, where Chad has been accused by Ichigo of stopping a story halfway just because he felt he was talking too much. The anime takes the joke even further, a filler arc pairing him up with the equally quiet Noba, resulting in Kon yelling at them for wasting screen time by saying nothing. Even his sweatdrops are subdued. Nakeem only ever spoke once in the manga, even when fighting Rangiku. In the anime, he spoke twice. Tsumiko is the only member of the Sword Five who never says a word and the lower half of her face, like the rest of her body, is completely bandaged over. In the Zanpakutou Tales filler arc, there are several silent characters: Katen Kyokotsu is a twinned zanpakutou, so has two female spirits. The smaller female is a ninja-esque character who, aside from a few muffled noises here and there, never says a word. Tenken is mostly silent, only speaking once during the entire arc. Wabisuke usually communicates by rattling his chains. He only speaks twice during the entire arc. |

Until the fifth chapter of Duel Savior Destiny Rico is almost silent and when she does speak it's nearly inaudible. This is because without a proper master she burns through her lifespan when she takes action. Once this is taken care of, she becomes simply soft-spoken. | |

On Angel, Wesley becomes a lot darker and quieter as the seasons progress, most noticeably in season four (part of this may be a result of getting his throat cut. The scar is visible for a long time afterward, so it's possible that too much talking is physically painful for him). Even in his early days on Buffy, though, Wesley was only really talkative when he was trying to impress people or make himself look good. When he wasn't being an insufferable show-off, he was actually fairly quiet. |

Mipha in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. A demure White Magician Girl, she has a soft-spoken, gentle personality and rarely speaks up in conversation. Of the two cutscenes showing her interacting with her fellow Champions, one has her quietly watching Zelda knighting Link while the others comment on the event, the other has her shyly and somewhat haltingly trying to give Zelda some advice. The only person with whom she is portrayed talking openly and freely is with Link. | |

In Fargo, Ohanzee Dent, the favored retainer of the Gerhardts, doesn't say much, probably because he's spent decades suppressing his feelings about having to be the "pet Indian" to a brood of German thugs. This, of course, makes it all the more shocking to the Gerhardts when he sets them all up to be wiped out by state troopers. | |

Lilja Perhonen of Dance Of The Butterfly is Finnish, an entire culture that embraces silence. She has no issue talking, but she is often economical in what she says and does not necessarily speak unless pointedly asked a question, sometimes not even then. Lengthy periods of silence do not bother her at all. | |

Bill in Don't Call Me Ishmael! doesn't speak much, particularly at the beginning of the series. This is because he often zones out into his own world and because he has very low self-confidence due to being bullied for his weight. He becomes a bit more talkative when he makes friends with the rest of the debate team. | |

In the first series of Skins, Effy Stonem only spoke twice — and she was incredibly intriguing as a result. In the later series, she talks progressively more often, although she continues to maintain long periods of silence and usually speaks less than the other characters. Nevertheless, most fans preferred her as The Stoic Ice Queen and grew increasingly disappointed with the character the more she spoke. | |

Hettar from the Belgariad. But as one of the prequel novels shows, there's at least one worse; Algar, founder of Hettar's homeland, who could let days go by without talking. When asked by Polgara, "Don't you ever talk about the weather?", he just points to a window and responds, "What for? It's right out there. Go look for yourself." | |

Winnetou, the Apache chief from Karl May's novels. When these were adapted into films, actor Pierre Brice at first complained that he had so few lines compared to Lex Barker as Old Shatterhand, but soon came to realize that by acting instead of speaking and by his dramatic presence he actually made a greater impression on the audience. | |

The Simpsons: Referenced in "Lemon of Troy", where Bart and friends prepare to raid Shelbyville; Bart is assigning roles based on stock characters from war movies, and declares that Todd Flanders will be "the quiet religious guy who ends up going crazy." In the episode where Homer joins the Navy, his superior officer gives the following keynote speech: "I'm a man of few words. Any questions?" |

Decim from Death Parade. At work, he doesn’t say or explain anything more than the absolute bare minimum. Justified since he’s a Psychopomp who can’t give too much information away, but his coworkers are still more talkative than he is. He doesn’t seem to change much when he’s not working either, as his boss calls him boring right in front of him and he doesn’t bother defending himself. His assistant tries to get him to open up every now and then, but even when she asks him about his hobbies, he’d rather show her than simply tell her. |

Though he enjoys conversing with people, Kawayanagi from Ojojojo is so quiet because he's no good at starting conversations, and the few people he's talked to never talk to him again. He slowly opens up to Haru after enjoying (and admiring) the self-centered conversations she makes with him. | |

Cass Cain (Batgirl II) from Batman speaks little and mostly with short words. This is the result of her father raising her without talking to her or letting her hear people talk, so that body language would be her language. Even after magic fixed this, she was never comfortable with words. If Cass is being talkative, the only explanations are brainwashing or bad writing (which will become brainwashing later via retcon). | |

Darth Maul from The Phantom Menace has only three lines during the whole movie. He speaks so infrequently that all of his lines are dubbed over. His later appearances in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels animated series avert this, as he is given more lines in those series. Anakin's mother, Shmi, also counts, as she only gets a rather small handful of lines in the movie. | |

Kung Fu Panda: Despite the fact that they're voiced by some rather famous actors, the Furious Five don't really have much dialogue in the first film, in which Tigress and Mantis do most of the talking for the group. Monkey, voiced by Jackie Freaking Chan, is a particularly jarring case, as he only has a grand total of six lines in the first movie alone. This gets fixed in the sequels and the TV series. | |

Lyrical Nanoha: Zafila /Zafira: trainees in StrikerS didn't even realize that he could talk until their second mission. Although, he's something of a Large Ham when in battle. Bardiche. He talks far less than Raising Heart (even less in the movies, while Raising Heart got even more lines). The Forwards lampshade that Bardiche is a really quiet Device. However, Teana thinks his silence is one of his greatest things of him. Doing things through action and not words, protecting his master as her weapon at all times. |

Shin Megami Tensei: Serph from Digital Devil Saga would be a Heroic Mime if not for certain cutscenes when the player is given a choice of lines of dialogue for him to speak. Interestingly, the other characters sometimes comment on this; in the first game, Heat notices Serph has been silent for a long time and asks him to say something, and in the second, Gale tells him "It's alright, you don't have to say anything." This is inverted in the novel adaptation Quantum Devil Saga: Serph is no longer a Heroic Mime and he tends to talk a lot, while Heat is The Stoic, so he has much fewer lines than Serph. Justified, as Serph is a Composite Character that speaks most of Gale's dialogue from the game. Likewise, Shin Megami Tensei IV's main character Flynn is noted to be a man of very few words. He very rarely opens the conversation, and when he responds to questions, he's implied to be very direct. The game itself lampshades this with The Bartender, who notes he's very rarely seen someone who talks as little as Flynn. The Persona sub-series: The Main Character (Minato/Makoto/etc.) from Persona 3 fits this trope to a T. To elaborate, he is a Heroic Mime who's never actually heard to speak (outside of summoning his Persona). However, the player is able to choose dialogue options for him when speaking to others. None of these options are ever more than one sentence long, and other characters have commented on his quietness. The Protagonist of Persona 4, canonically known as Yu Narukami, actually has a large number of responses that are ".....". In Persona 4: The Animation this is subverted as he openly talks much more than the protagonist of Persona 3 after we get the impression he's meant to be this trope. In fact, most of the humor surrounding Yu is him being Not So Stoic as he can't help but comment on everything strange even with a straight face. Played with and invoked in Persona 5; the Protagonist's seemingly quiet nature is actually a ruse used to hide his true self, as he is significantly hammier when in Phantom Thief mode. Nonetheless, he still never speaks more than a single sentence at a time. In Persona 5 The Animation, he's still silent, unlike Yu (who is Not So Stoic) and Makoto (who opens up from movie 2 onwards). Becomes Suddenly Voiced in Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight. In a nice bit of subtle characterization, the Persona 3 and Persona 4 heroes are implied to have different reasons for why they each have so many '...' options. The former seems to use silence to indicate apathy towards whatever's being discussed, while the latter tends to have the option available when it will spare someone's feelings or if the situation is simply too awkward to comment on. Played with in Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, which involves both the P3 and P4 casts; the P4 hero only talks in the P3 route, and the P3 hero only talks in the P4 route (which also highlights the above-mentioned contrast in personality when you see how each one does speak). Both do talk in Q2. A more obvious example would be Haru Okumura from Persona 5, where even though she's a shy and introverted girl, once she becomes familiar with fighting Shadows she becomes very outspoken about her enjoyment of killing them, going so far as to state: "Why is it that I get a shiver of excitement whenever the Shadows plead for their lives?". |

Fire Emblem: Gerome, a wyvern rider from Fire Emblem: Awakening, is not as talkative as the rest of the second-generation characters. He also states that conversation and charisma are not his strong suits. His specialty exists on the battlefield. Beruka from Fire Emblem Fates is an assassin who is also not very talkative, and when she does talk, she tends to speak in very short, clipped sentences. |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Coincidentally (or maybe not?), Lalli from Finland is also this. A large part of it results from Language Barrier, although he doesn't talk much with his cousin Tuuri either. Mikkel also qualifies to a lesser extent, in addition to being The Stoic. |

RWBY: Lie Ren is very quiet and speaks by far the least often out of any of the main characters, which contrasts him with his partner Nora. He starts to grow out of it as the series progresses. Ruby mentions in Volume 5 that he can be downright philosophical when he does speak. From Volume 7, his lack of communication begins causing problems between him and Nora; it resolves in Volume 8, after his Semblance evolves to make him The Empath, putting him into the unique position of being able to analyse and address people's emotional states. Hazel Rainart is the quietest villain. He rarely speaks unless he has to. It takes pressing his Trauma Button to get him to wax lyrical, but there's only one person alive who can do that. He blames Ozpin for the accidental death of his sister, Gretchen, a Beacon Academy student. He becomes extremely talkative whenever he's confronting Ozpin, blaming Ozpin for every act of villainy and violence he performs in Salem's name. Things come to a head in Volume 8, when he's torturing Ozpin's host, Oscar; he drops the quietness entirely and has extended arguments with both Oscar and Ozpin about why he thinks serving Salem is the logical conclusion to hating Ozpin. |

Corn and Vinkle in No Evil. With Corn, it's because he's deeply uncomfortable in the company of anyone but Kitty, so he tends to keep quiet and avoid people. Vinkle, by contrast, is just not very talkative or emotive; there's no indication that he's uncomfortable in social situations, he just seems to prefer to keep quiet unless he has something to say (outside of the one episode where he recites the story of Mahtigwess and Lusifee, anyway). | |

Dragon Ball: Future Trunks from Dragon Ball Z could be counted as this, he doesn't even call out his attacks. As a result, the various video game adaptations have had to make up their own names for his moves. Also Android 16. Though he does call some of his attacks. Although he was far more cocky and melodramatic in Dragon Ball, Piccolo is the most silent and reserved character after he fused with Nail. He still has some rage outbursts every now and then, but it takes a lot more to get him there than before. Jiren in Dragonball Super. Being a warrior from Universe 11, he's considered to easily be the strongest fighter in the Tournament of Power and on the level of a God of Destruction. He also rarely speaks, and the little dialogue he has tends to be short and to the point. |

Harry Potter The titular character is actually a man of relatively few words for most of the series. He is somewhat talkative when he is with only one person (like Ron, Hermione, or Dumbledore), but in large assemblies, he doesn't say much unless he really feels the need. It is, however, a trait often overlooked by readers because Harry is also the (third person) narrator and thus, you "hear" him all the time even when he doesn't talk. It seems to be a mixture of a bit of shyness (mostly in the first book) and that he simply often prefers to listen and observe rather than speak. In situations when he has to take up the leadership mantle, he becomes more talkative, and thus he has mostly gotten over his quietness when the last book rolls around. Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle are a duo of this trope. While Draco Malfoy delivers all the verbal insults, they do little more than act as muscular bodyguards and laugh stupidly at those on the receiving end of his snark. In fact, the reader never gets to hear either of them speak in person until towards the end of the very final book, and it is indeed stated that Harry had "hardly ever heard [Crabbe] speak before." |

Iceman, from the original Wing Commander easily qualifies, save one cutscene where he's oddly chosen to play Mr. Exposition. It's said that even when he does speak, he does so only barely louder than a whisper, and you have to listen closely to hear him. | |

Shiori from The World God Only Knows, as present in the page picture. She is only quiet because by the time she knows what she wants to say, there is nobody to talk to, but that also means any word she says on the spot, without analysing it countless times beforehand, is significant. And when she is allowed to prepare a speech in advance, she is quite a talker. | |

Power Rangers has its fair share of this trope in the following seasons: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Trini, Adam, Tideus, & Corcus. Power Rangers Turbo & Power Rangers in Space: Carlos. Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue: Chad & Ryan. Power Rangers Time Force: Lucas. Power Rangers Wild Force: Danny. Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Blake. Power Rangers Mystic Force: Madison (insert "Who's Madison?" joke here). Power Rangers RPM: Dillon prefers to brood rather than talk. This is quite ironic because his best friend Ziggy is a Motor Mouth. Power Rangers Samurai: Jayden. Power Rangers Megaforce: Troy talks less than any of his teammates. |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Rei. Especially in the moments that she suddenly decides to speak to Asuka. She is a character that symbolizes The Quiet One cliche and helped to codify it. The Internet has a term for the character inspired by her, Dandere (dan=silent, dere=sweet). Although Anno wants to mock the trope, she popularized it. | |

Randy Orton seems to fit this trope. While he cuts promos and talks to other wrestlers like his fellow sports-entertainers, he doesn't do much trash-talking in the ring, and a lot of his "interviews" (especially as a heel) are Orton simply being asked a question and responding with one word ("No..." or "Pain..." or something of the sort), or responding by... not responding. He'd simply stare at the interviewer and then walk away. | |

Ulath, from The Elenium and The Tamuli series. He's actually very intelligent but tends to respond quite cryptically and briefly with one or two-word comments. It's explained that he works out all the logical steps in his head, but sees no reason to share any more than the conclusion. Then subverted when he usually has to explain what his one-word outburst means anyway. | |

The titular protagonist of The Mandalorian is a man of few words, and those words are usually soft-spoken (unless he's really upset). This, along with his refusal to remove his helmet in front of others, gives him an air of mystery. | |

Oh Yeah! Cartoons: Max of the shorts "Max and his Special Problem" and "Max and the Pigeon Incident" barely makes any utterances that are actual words, being slightly more talkative in the latter. The title character of the short "Magic Trixie" only has one line of dialogue ("I have natural talent"), two if you count the obligatory clip at the end of every short where the main character shouts "Oh Yeah! Cartoons". |

Apocalypse from X-Men: Evolution, in contrast to other versions of the character. Despite being the Big Bad of the last two seasons, he never speaks at all until the Grand Finale, and then his dialogue consists entirely of terse orders for minions or blunt statements of superiority (almost all delivered telepathically). One gets the sense that he simply dislikes lowering himself to speak to common mortals. | |

Katana from Batman: The Brave and the Bold. When she does speak, her Outsiders teammates immediately stop whatever they're doing and listen to her. In the episode "Inside the Outsiders", there's a flashback dream sequence to a time when she was chattier. It's revealed that she doesn't speak in the present in order to honor her sensei's memory... and because she blames her loose tongue for indirectly causing the sensei's death. | |

The Protagonist of Persona 4, canonically known as Yu Narukami, actually has a large number of responses that are ".....". In Persona 4: The Animation this is subverted as he openly talks much more than the protagonist of Persona 3 after we get the impression he's meant to be this trope. In fact, most of the humor surrounding Yu is him being Not So Stoic as he can't help but comment on everything strange even with a straight face. | |

The main character of Code Geass: Colorless Memories, Rai, counts. Rai rarely speaks more than a few words when asked on most matters, often only speaks when spoken to and tends to keep to himself. Justified due to being an amnesiac, Fish out of Water at Ashford and later in the Black Knights. | |

The Pokémon Squad: RM’s Friend can speak (unlike Red), but rarely does so, instead opting to read manga most of the time. Unusually for this trope, though, he has a Verbal Tic on the occasions he does speaknote Muahahahaha… | |

Ran-mao from Black Butler is Lau's bodyguard and most loyal sidekick, she speaks very little or at all in some cases. Although her speech is restrained she has a habit of showing off her impressive figure to men, her stoic expression makes it hard to tell if she likes pleasuring others (and herself) or not. | |

Sten in Dragon Age: Origins, is very much like this. He's extremely intelligent and deep but doesn't chat much except in certain situations. There is a point when he monologues a bit with the player character about the nature of mages, and the Warden can respond by saying that it was the most words he/she ever heard Sten say. Sten's Deadpan Snarker reply: "I've been saving them up." In-universe materials indicate that most Qunari are like this when they aren't speaking their native tongue. Since they pride themselves on doing everything perfectly, the prospect of possibly committing a linguistic error mortifies them. In the second game, the Arishok has little to say but "begone" to anyone besides Hawke. |

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell: The Raven King was raised in Faerie and also spent a lot of time contemplating magic beyond anyone else's comprehension, with the effect of him being rather strange and quiet. The most notable instance of communication issues was when he mentioned to a servant that he was going out and would be back in a day, then vanished for a year. When he finally reappeared without explanation the nobles who'd been nervously running things in his absence went and asked the servant if it was possible he'd actually said he would be back in "a year and a day". The servant conceded that the King spoke very softly, and he might have misheard him. He also invented his own written language to better convey his thoughts. | |

After Vixen was billed as the American Kong by AJPW, she stopped speaking almost entirely, though she spoke in the NWA mostly in Zero 1, she went quiet for ROH, SHIMMER and stayed quiet in TNA until she yelled "Raisha". Broke silence to announce she would no longer be able to wrestle at a WWE event, stayed talkative after returning to the ring in SHINE, though still not particularly talkative by wrestler standards. | |

Matsu, the protagonist of the Female Prisoner Scorpion series, is very quiet. She says little in the first film (one of her lines is "you talk too much"), but the second is her most sparse; she's onscreen for most of the 92-minute runtime, but says only eight words across two sentences. By contrast, Yuki in the first film seems to be literally mute. | |

Trip/Shooti in Pokémon the Series: Black & White fit. And compared to Ash's other rivals, it really stands out. Especially in BW041 where there are many competitors in the tournament that are either talking about the battle or cheering for one side. Trip just sits by himself in the back with his own opinions that he doesn't bother giving to anyone as well as looking down to ignore lame battles (he looks up when Ash's battle gets his attention though.) | |

X-Men Film Series: X-Men: The Brotherhood members almost never speak. Mystique is silent but for one line early on, except when she's disguised. It's quite effective and adds to her, well, mystique. Sabretooth has two lines, Toad has three. X2: X-Men United: Lady Deathstrike gets a single line of dialogue. X-Men: The Last Stand: Colossus utters one line. Multiple-Man has a total of two lines. X-Men: First Class: Azazel only says a few lines. X-Men: Days of Future Past: Colossus' speaking part consists of a single word. Deadpool (2016): Although Colossus finally averts this trope, Angel Dust plays it straight, letting Ajax do most of the talking for the bad guys. Deadpool 2: Domino doesn't have a lot of lines and the ones she has are some rather short, straightforward sentences. X-Men: Apocalypse: Psylocke and Angel's dialogue is limited to a few lines each. Logan: Laura doesn't speak for the first two-thirds of the movie, leading Logan and others to think she's mute. She actually speaks English and Spanish perfectly well, and she becomes more talkative in the final act. |

Weak Hero Gerard doesn't speak much, and when he does it's usually to the point. At least, that's how he generally acts- once he becomes friends with Ben's gang, he opens up more and shows a more excitable side. Seongmok is a serious and stony-faced boy who barely speaks at all, allowing his partner Dongha to fill up the space with his constant chatter. |

Teal'c from Stargate SG-1. "You speak?" "Only when it is appropriate." Indeed. He did become more talkative as time went by (presumably from spending so much time with humans), so much so that the commentary on an early episode of Season 9 had the director joking that Teal'c had spoken more in the first few episodes of that season than in the previous eight seasons combined. |

Mai on Avatar: The Last Airbender. On the DVD commentary, the creators said that when they were looking for a VA for Zuko, they were looking for someone who could say one word but imply a lifetime of suffering. He was a man of few words for the first two seasons. Longshot's whole character revolves around this. |

As a reference to how she hasn't spoken in the twenty years she's been a background character, Maria from Arthur is presented as this in her Lower-Deck Episode. She prefers to write her replies when Ratburn calls upon her in class, was a mime on Halloween, and Arthur has apparently never even heard her speak. It turns out she has a terrible stutter and, despite seeing a speech therapist, is very embarrassed of it. | |

Yuki Nagato from Haruhi Suzumiya, who's also The Stoic. The only person she has a normal conversation with is Kyon. She rarely ever talks to anyone else, and often simply ignores the person or resorts to simple hand gestures. Most of her "dialogue" in the novels is simply "...", represented in the anime as prolonged silence without moving. And, of course, this all depends on your definition of "normal conversation". Yuki speaks to Kyon, but she never says an unnecessary word. To get an idea of how little she acts, her staring at Kyon and Mikuru playfully flirting is considered a great deal of emotion from her. In the original episode "Someday In The Rain", Yuki spends about a third of the episode on-screen, but neither Minori Chihara nor Michelle Ruff is credited...because she doesn't speak throughout the entire episode. |

In Endride, Felix starts out as the quiet one of the Ignauts, being of few words but quite quick with a knife. He's given a run for his money when the Tyke-Bomb Mischa joins the squad, both of them having traumatic pasts contributing to their reticence. They mostly only converse to compete over their Undying Loyalty to Demetrio. | |

The Shufflers has Hiddenite, who speaks so quietly that the other characters have trouble hearing him. He often needs to use something to amplify his voice, whether it be a speaker or a rolled-up newspaper. Even the font sizes of his word bubbles are smaller than the other characters. | |

Inspector Bao from Colour of the Truth doesn't like to talk. At all. At one point, sharing an Uncomfortable Elevator Moment with junior Inspector Casper, Casper comments that he heard Bao speak 8 words during the entire year they worked together, and asks what would happen if Bao gets too annoyed. Bao promptly responds by Flipping the Bird. | |

The Wilds: Nora, especially compared to her sister, Rachel. She doesn't speak that much, and when Nora does it's sometimes surprising (e.g. her telling dirty jokes with a straight face). It's possibly a result of her being autistic or in some other way neurodivergent since she displays other typical autist traits. | |

Tortall Universe: Beka Cooper. At first it's because she's a Shrinking Violet; as she gets older and more experienced in Dog work she loses the anxiety, but she never becomes a chatterbox either. However, the effect is somewhat mitigated since her books are in the form of a diary and so she's always "speaking" in first person. | |

Ferb from the Disney cartoon Phineas and Ferb, who, despite being one of the two main characters, generally only speaks once or twice per episode (and even then, there are some episodes where he doesn’t speak at all), expressing himself the rest of the time through nonverbal cues, which can be interpreted by the mostly talkative Phineas. These lines tend to be either the most random or funniest of the episode. And like everything on the show, this is lampshaded to death. In the first episode, he's introduced as being "a man of action". In the episode "Candace Disconnected" he says two conservative lines, prompting Phineas to say, "Well, aren't you chatty today." The most lines Ferb has ever said at once can be seen here. Watch and be amazed. Ferb's mean counterpart Thor from "Thaddeus and Thor" doesn't speak at all, with Thaddeus doing all of the talking. |

Edgar Ross of the Red Dead Redemption series is this in Red Dead Redemption 2, where he usually stays silent while his superior Andrew Milton does the talking. It's a sharp contrast from his frequent lectures and remarks in the first game, and makes his one notable line ("Enjoy your fishing, kid... while you still can") even more noteworthy. After Milton's death, Ross steps out of this and can be heard shouting orders during the Pinkertons' assault on Beaver Hollow. | |

Red from Pokémon Red and Blue rarely talks, apart from a few short lines of dialogue with the Copycat Girl, unless Visible Silence counts. In the game, it's even lampshaded, with a chef on board St. Anne calling him the "strong silent type" after asking what he wants to eat and getting no answer. At one point, his rival Blue sarcastically calls him a chatty gossip. In later games, he still doesn't say anything except ellipses with the odd exclamation point, and when he appears as an adult in Pokémon Sun and Moon, Blue comments that he's "as silent as ever," meaning it's a character trait. In Pokémon Masters he finally speaks a few words, and they're fitting enough: | |

The Persona sub-series: The Main Character (Minato/Makoto/etc.) from Persona 3 fits this trope to a T. To elaborate, he is a Heroic Mime who's never actually heard to speak (outside of summoning his Persona). However, the player is able to choose dialogue options for him when speaking to others. None of these options are ever more than one sentence long, and other characters have commented on his quietness. The Protagonist of Persona 4, canonically known as Yu Narukami, actually has a large number of responses that are ".....". In Persona 4: The Animation this is subverted as he openly talks much more than the protagonist of Persona 3 after we get the impression he's meant to be this trope. In fact, most of the humor surrounding Yu is him being Not So Stoic as he can't help but comment on everything strange even with a straight face. Played with and invoked in Persona 5; the Protagonist's seemingly quiet nature is actually a ruse used to hide his true self, as he is significantly hammier when in Phantom Thief mode. Nonetheless, he still never speaks more than a single sentence at a time. In Persona 5 The Animation, he's still silent, unlike Yu (who is Not So Stoic) and Makoto (who opens up from movie 2 onwards). Becomes Suddenly Voiced in Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight. In a nice bit of subtle characterization, the Persona 3 and Persona 4 heroes are implied to have different reasons for why they each have so many '...' options. The former seems to use silence to indicate apathy towards whatever's being discussed, while the latter tends to have the option available when it will spare someone's feelings or if the situation is simply too awkward to comment on. Played with in Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, which involves both the P3 and P4 casts; the P4 hero only talks in the P3 route, and the P3 hero only talks in the P4 route (which also highlights the above-mentioned contrast in personality when you see how each one does speak). Both do talk in Q2. A more obvious example would be Haru Okumura from Persona 5, where even though she's a shy and introverted girl, once she becomes familiar with fighting Shadows she becomes very outspoken about her enjoyment of killing them, going so far as to state: "Why is it that I get a shiver of excitement whenever the Shadows plead for their lives?". |

Similarly to the books, Vincent Crabbe is portrayed as this in A Very Potter Musical. This might be because he was originally going to be a hand puppet played by Goyle but was changed to a normal person(albeit played by a girl) in the final version. His only line in the musical happens in his first scene where mentions that he and Goyle hate girls. Another reason was the actress’ busy schedule outside of the show, which withheld her from getting many lines. In the sequel, Crabbe gets to talk a little bit more, though still not much. |

Subverted by Takashi "Mori" Morinozuka from Ouran High School Host Club. He is physically large and doesn't say much, but what he says is pretty mundane most of the time, not to mention how he tends to have a personality change on rainy days or if he's sleepy. This trope was, however, invoked by Renge who tried to cast him as one in a Dating Sim-style movie. | |

In The 7D barring Dopey who cannot speak but uses whistles and other sounds to communicate, Bashful and Sleepy are the least talkative of the dwarves, Bashful due to his shy nature and Sleepy due to being asleep half the time, some episodes have one or both of them having a line or two or remaining silent throughout the whole cartoon. | |

Nico Robin from One Piece is not as heavy of a case anymore, but certainly was when she had just joined the Straw Hats — probably because she didn't want to open up to her new crew because she believed she would leave soon. But even nowadays, she is not that talkative unless the conversation really interests her, she needs to give a warning, or if someone asks her for exposition. | |

Ky�tar� Ichikawa from The Dangers in My Heart. The majority of his dialogue comes from his thoughts in reaction to his Love Interest and other characters around him. He's a Terse Talker when he does speak, in addition to having a low tone of voice and being prone to stuttering. His teacher and his classmates get surprised whenever he makes full sentences, or in one case that he even speaks at all. | |

The Venture Bros. has Kano of the original Team Venture, who doesn't speak a word to anyone. It's later revealed that it's a vow of silence he took after killing a "great man", and he only breaks it once in over 30 years to speak with Brock. It's much, much later revealed that said "great man" was Venturion, A.K.A. the cyborg resurrection of the Blue Morpho, to whom Kano was his original sidekick. | |

Played with in Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, which involves both the P3 and P4 casts; the P4 hero only talks in the P3 route, and the P3 hero only talks in the P4 route (which also highlights the above-mentioned contrast in personality when you see how each one does speak). Both do talk in Q2. | |

Jennifer O'Connell from Behind The Veil communicates entirely through written notes, sign-language, and text-to-speech programs, but only because of psychological reasons (her parents were killed in a car crash and she was trapped in the car with them for several hours because she had been paralyzed for years and couldn't escape herself). She is still capable of speech, and recently began talking to her stepmother, but limits herself to short sentences. | |

The title character of the Horatio Hornblower books. Granted, he's an English naval captain from the early 1800s, so isolation is part of the job, but Hornblower takes it beyond what would normally be expected because he's so cautious and self-conscious about saying something that might bite him later. He makes a point of never indulging in "unnecessary words." The few instances where he does let his reserve drop are notable, and he usually ends up regretting it. | |

Game of Thrones: Pod doesn't speak unless he's spoken to. Ser Harys Swyft, compared to the contributions of the other bannermen Tywin is discussing strategy with; he makes not a peep during the whole time he is on-screen. In the first season, Gregor has only said two things, "Sword!" and screaming. As of "Garden of Bones", he's had a few more lines but is hardly what one would call verbose. In Season 4, he's had a grand total of three lines of dialogue, but all memorable. In Season 5, he is mentioned to have taken a vow of silence by Qyburn — perhaps it just means that he can't speak. Malakho has no lines. |

In Amitie's story in 20th Anniversary, once Amitie and Sig encounter Arle, Sig only says one line to her and goes completely quiet for the next two stages. Rei is very quiet and only says a few words at a time, a counterpoint to his twin sister Yu being a pun-spouting Genki Girl. |

Serph from Digital Devil Saga would be a Heroic Mime if not for certain cutscenes when the player is given a choice of lines of dialogue for him to speak. Interestingly, the other characters sometimes comment on this; in the first game, Heat notices Serph has been silent for a long time and asks him to say something, and in the second, Gale tells him "It's alright, you don't have to say anything." This is inverted in the novel adaptation Quantum Devil Saga: Serph is no longer a Heroic Mime and he tends to talk a lot, while Heat is The Stoic, so he has much fewer lines than Serph. Justified, as Serph is a Composite Character that speaks most of Gale's dialogue from the game. |

Baby, the titular character from Baby Driver, is usually pretty quiet, to the extent he got his nickname from the crew he works for "waiting for his first words." He mentions to his Love Interest that he has talked to her more in a day than he has to anyone else all year. It makes a certain amount of sense considering he spends all his time listening to music and has been raised by a deaf foster father for most of his life, whom he mainly communicates with through sign language. | |

Cameron of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles mostly lets the others do the talking, and when she does speak, its usually done with a very inflectionless monotone. She mostly just punches things. Or shoots them. And beyond that, there's the character credited simply as "Chola". She appears in four episodes (including the one in which her crime family is massacred), and makes an instant impression — but she doesn't say a word until her final scene when she gives a tear-jerking speech to John and Cameron. |

In Warhammer 40,000: An Astartes Chapter's Honour Guard are said to speak and advise little, as to not undermine the authority of the Captains despite how they are likely even more experienced than them, but this gives their words considerable weight to all of their battle brothers, even the Chapter Master. As a result of their past, the Dark Angels Chapter of Adeptus Astartes and their successors are known for this. They rarely speak to anyone outside of the Chapter, and in one noticeable instance, the entire Consecrators Chapter deployed en masse and relieved an Astra Militarum force by fighting for six straight hours and killing the enemy's leader without sending a single transmission to their allies. The personal guard of the Death Guard Primarch Mortarion, the Deathshrouds, only ever speak when they are passing on the commands of their Primarch. Even in the heat of battle Deathshroud Terminators fight in complete, unnerving silence becoming the perfect embodiment of the silent onset of inevitable death. |

Team Fortress 2: Radigan Conagher, the Engineer's grandfather, is "a man of many ideas and few words." This is what the official bio for the Heavy claims him to be. He cheers up once he starts mowing people down with Sasha. Though other mediums (including the Russian dub of Meet the Heavy) suggest this is more a language thing. |

Nasir of Robin of Sherwood could go entire episodes without speaking. It's implied that in early episodes he doesn't know much English. He gets to talk a bit more later on. The real-life reason to his quietness in the first season is probably that he was originally planned to be a one-off villain's mook, not a regular outlaw, so there wasn't any designed room for his dialogue in the first season. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Applejack's brother Big Macintosh, which his younger sister Apple Bloom attributes to extreme shyness. In most instances, he only communicates by saying "Eeyup" or "Nope" in response to direct questions. At virtually all other times, his remarks are either similarly short and concise, directed at someone he's exceptionally comfortable talking to (such as Applejack at the beginning of "Applebuck Season"), or meant to convey his displeasure. Speaking of shyness, Fluttershy is the least talkative of the Mane 6 because of this. There's been quite a few episodes where she only has a line or two at most and several where she's completely silent for the whole episode. There have been a few cases where the only sound she makes is either a yelp, a sigh or a scream. Princess Luna seems to be turning into this somewhat, most notably in the season 4 premiere. Whenever the two sisters share a scene, she tends to let Celestia do most of the talking. Considering the season 2 episode "Luna Eclipsed" showed Luna as speaking solely in Antiquated Linguistics due to how much time she spent out of touch with civilization during her imprisonment as Nightmare Moon, it is likely she still struggles somewhat with learning the modern Equestrian vocabulary. Shrinking Violet Marble Pie is a sharp contrast to her Motor Mouth older sister Pinkie Pie, communicating pretty much entirely through "Mm-hmm." A more villainous example would be King Sombra, who in the 2-parter "The Crystal Empire" doesn't say much aside from growls, evil laughs, and screams; he only has a total of five eligible lines. Averted in "The Beginning of the End" where he becomes much more vocal. |

In The Magnificent Seven, there are two Quiet Ones: James Coburn's character Britt (the knife-thrower), with 11 lines total during the 128-minute-long film Britt's lines are also invariably short: in his introductory scene he says a total of five words. The scene is 2:28 seconds long. 21 seconds into it, he says "You lost." 1 minute and 17 seconds later, at 1:38, he says "Call it." At 2:20, in response to Chris saying "Britt.", he says "Chris." Robert Vaughn's Lee (the gambler) has a whopping 16 lines. |

Horatio Hornblower: In "The Even Chance", Lieutenant Chadd appears to be a fairly prominent character who hardly opens his mouth, and mostly he only grins or looks worried, awed, or amused, as the situation requires. He spoke exactly twice. First when he ordered his men to fire guns, and second when he got a splinter in his arm, he allowed Doctor Hepplewhite to take care of Hornblower's sailor ahead of him because the poor guy had lost his leg. Chadd dies during their next battle on a French ship that they boarded. | |

Tord from Eddsworld. Even before he was Put on a Bus, Tord wasn't much of a talker, instead either speaking in short sentences or letting his expressions do the talking. Allegedly (though it's difficult to find sources on this), this was a trait of his real-life counterpart and voice actor, who didn't talk much partly because he didn't speak English very well and partly because he was shy. When The Bus Came Back and Tord was reintroduced with a new voice actor, the character became a lot more talkative. | |

Ensemble Stars!: Adonis is very humble, not generally believing that he has much interesting to say, and tends to be rather awkward and self-conscious, so he tends to speak very brusquely when he does so. He was even worse in his first year — due to him being a Foreign Exchange Student, Arashi believed for a while that he couldn't actually speak Japanese. This causes a bit of trouble for him on stage, to the point that Kaoru asks him directly in 1001 Arabian Nights why such a quiet person would want to become an Idol Singer. | |

Fred Norris of The Howard Stern Show. Although he's in the studio, his job is sound effects, and they'll often do more talking than he does. When he DOES talk it could be just a quip or a punchline to jokes or impressions or even responding to Howard or Robin. If you even DARE insult him or call him on something, run he has been known to react VERY strongly to criticism, sensitive issues in his life among other incidents, once Howard looked in his bag and Fred nearly quit the show after an ugly outburst. | |

Red in Pokémon Reset Bloodlines has this as one of his defining traits. Outside of battles, he doesn't speak much more than necessary, and often has Yellow to do most of the talking for both of them and handle the social interactions with others. Later chapters and sidestories reveal that he also can accidentally spit fire if he talks too much, so he's this partly out of necessity too. | |

In The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob!, Roofus the Robot is probably the least talkative castmember, and he's nearly monosyllabic when he does speak. He's also probably the least intelligent of the regular cast (apart from wacky neighbors like Floyd and Heywood), though he comes across as one of the most soulful because he is so quiet.

Kanako Urai, better known as Kana in Japan and Asuka in America, rarely speaks and often resorts to a Slasher Smile to get her point across. Part of the reason why she does this (in WWE NXT as least) is that she doesn't speak English all that well. Not so much on the main roster, where she rants quite a bit (mostly in Japanese, but it's still pretty clear where her head is at). | |

DSBT InsaniT: Amber doesn't say much, and when she does, it's usually to quell the more obnoxious members of the group.

Poignant because, sure enough, something is out there. Predators has Hanzo, who at first seems to be this because he doesn't speak English.

Akira Okochi and Zazie Rainyday in Negima! Magister Negi Magi take this in two different directions. Akira doesn't speak much, but talks normally when she does. Zazie, on the other hand, can hold entire conversations without speaking at all. She answers a phone call and relates how her day is going (apparently) without ever saying anything apart from a few ellipses and is understood perfectly. When she makes her formal introduction late into the series, she talks normally just like anyone else. | |

Firefly's River Tam both plays this straight and subverts it; she typically has the fewest lines of dialogue in any given episode and will go through a lot of scenes without ever saying anything. When she does talk, it's usually in the form of traumatized crying, gibberish, or veiled warnings or predictions. Wash was once laconic, but that was a long time ago. |

Her words aren't taken as seriously as they should be because she's "the enemy", but they incorrectly think she's the enemy mainly because they don't listen to her. |

Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues: Josephine seems like this to others, since she doesn't speak up a lot. Insight into her mind shows that her thoughts are a lot more rambly, she's just too shy to share them. Before he received superpowers, Rhys kept to himself, rarely speaking and instead staying in his own head to judge the people around him. It's perhaps a little ironic that his power requires him to say a word anytime he activates it. Tamasin very rarely speaks. This is because she's aware of how badly her words can be misconstrued, which is partially to blame for her bad reputation, so she thinks carefully before she talks. |

Cloud of Dissidia Final Fantasy canon seems to fit this trope, with other characters going so far as to praise him for his calm and collected mindset. He also speaks relatively few words to the other Warriors of Cosmos, not to mention it seems like he's always in a perpetual contest with himself to see how he can express a thought in as few words as possible when he does speak. During the ending, he almost shows off his laconic attitude. Everyone is saying their goodbyes (in reverse series order): |

FFVIII's main character, Squall, is not much of a talker, particularly early on when his "jerkass act" is at its strongest, to the point that "Whatever" and "..." are his catchphrases. Since the game allows the player to listen in on his Inner Monologues, the reasons for Squall's silences become increasingly more apparent as the game goes on. | |

A justified example in CrossCode, which is set in a fully-immersive VR MMORPG. The protagonist, Lea, is suffering a glitch with her speech sync that initially renders her The Voiceless, and her speech is limited to the few words Sergey hard-codes into her speech module (like "Hi" and "Bye"). Amusingly, while other players take note of how quiet she is, and at least one figures out that her speech module is broken, most NPCs react as though she's speaking normally. | |

Leon in Titan Maximum is incredibly quiet for a monkey and his only response to things is usually just a blink. He does seem to be the Only Sane Man of the group though. | |

Wander over Yonder: The Enfant Terrible Little Bits doesn't say anything for the first half of her debut episode until the scene where Sylvia spies on her. In "The Waste of Time", Wilmur Wright doesn't say much aside from "Yup!" and "Nope!", while his brother Orbble does most of the talking. |

Wendy & Richard Pini's ElfQuest: Strongbow. Talks aloud, but not often; he's far more prone to using the elven telepathy called "sending." Non-elves, or elves who don't know how to send, find him to be a very taciturn fellow indeed. His unfriendliness towards outsiders doesn't help. See also The Stoic. Redlance could also qualify, but for the opposite reason: he's quiet because he's shy. His partnership with the more outgoing and assertive Nightfall is a classic case of role reversal, and they're both perfectly comfortable with it. (Also it's implied that when it comes to sex he does a 180 and goes completely wild.) |

Overlapping with Perpetual Frowner, Elesis/Ellie in Tokimeki PokéLive! and TwinBee becomes a quiet type character when she enters her "serious mode" personality. Subverted since she is otherwise a talkative, cheerful type character, the latter being her normal personality. | |

Kosh of Babylon 5 barely ever speaks at all, when he does it's generally a sentence fragment, and fragmentary or not, it rarely makes any sense. Interestingly, his most powerful statements are usually his shortest as well, in large part because they generally make more sense than usual. Often the emphasis he puts on words carries more meaning than the words themselves. | |

YuYu Hakusho: Hiei is the stone-cold, aloof version of this, which also brought the related Aloof Ally characteristic to industry standard. This was infamously proven to be a problem for his voice actors in most regions. Chuck Huber, his English voice actor, told a humorous story in the commentary; he once watched an episode of the show with his family, and all Hiei said through the whole episode was "Hmph." Hiei's original Japanese voice actor Nobuyuki Hiyama was teased (in a friendly manner) by the majority of his castmates, naming him "The Paycheck Thief" due to earning the same percentage of salary as most of the cast, even when Hiei only performs that one "Hmph" in that episode, and even took a long two-month break from recording due to not having any lines from Hiei for most of the Sensui Arc; which was indeed one heck of a sore point for his colleagues. |

True to her character in Batman, Cassandra Cain's style of speech in Angel of the Bat is highly simplistic and only has any real length to it when the plot absolutely demands it, though she is definitely more eloquent than in canon. | |

The Sunne in Splendour: Richard of Gloucester, the protagonist of the novel, contrasts with his extroverted older brother King Edward IV in that he rarely talks. Even when he is among his close circle of friends, he only occasionally speaks and only when he feels it is necessary to do so. Anne, his childhood sweetheart and eventual wife is also portrayed as quiet, though when they are alone together they talk to each other quite a bit. | |

Sousuke Sagara from Full Metal Panic!. Especially noticeable in the Burning One Man Force novel, with his interactions with Nami and her group. After every victory in the arena, the group always has festive celebrations with beer and drunk chatter. And every time, he'll always be sitting away, quietly sipping his water. Nami, having a crush on him, tends to watch him yearningly. Numerous times, she tries to go over and talk to him, but every answer from him tends to kill conversation. It's worth noting that none of that is because he particularly hates anyone or is that mean — he just has zero social skills. | |

The Driver from Drive (2011) speaks fewer than twenty whole sentences, and he's the viewpoint character. In Nicolas Winding Refn subsequent film, Only God Forgives, Julian has fewer lines. He and The Driver are portrayed by Ryan Gosling. |
