History: ShrinkingViolet / WebComics

* Rhoda of ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' is a near-literal example, a petite girl whose perception of her own size [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-12-29 actually shrinks when she feels intimidated]]. She appeared early on in the background of [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2006-06-28 one single strip,]] and [[http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook/?date=2006-06-30 became a bit of a fan favorite]] despite the fact that she hadn't done anything at that point.
** [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-09-23 Tedd was a male example]] prior to receiving the TF Gun.
* Punned and subverted in ''[[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=94220 Everyday Heroes]]''
* Male example: Doug from ''FletcherApts'', especially when it comes to women. Also a HollywoodNerd and ButtMonkey when Bill is involved.
* Faen in ''{{Drowtales}}'', just adding to her {{Woobie}} quotient. [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?id=255 as seen here]].
* Jolene Brooks ("Brooksie") of ''BetweenFailures'' is something like this.
* Secret of KeychainOfCreation is like this, a renegade abyssal who suffers from severe self-esteem issues.
* [[http://wrightasrayne.thecomicseries.com/ Wright As Rayne]] proudly features Laura Croft, who unlike [[TombRaider a different character with a similar name,]] [[http://wrightasrayne.thecomicseries.com/comics/pl/81467 couldn't be more timid if she tried.]]
* Katherine of ''WapsiSquare'' started out like this, but she is now a bit more confident, and at least willing to speak to some people.
* Gebo, the white wolf in ''OffWhite''. More like a real wolf then the evil, vicious monster, or emotionless, badass loner, [[AnimalStereotypes stereotypes.]]
* NinthElsewhere: The main character, Carmen, has elements of this.
** While a party for her is being thrown downstairs: "Maybe if I stay up here long enough they'll decide to just leave me alone."
* Neeka from [[http://quietandslow.com/ Late Blooming]] is impossibly shy, to the point of hardly ever talking to anyone and putting all effort into avoiding contact with people.
* In ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure'', Emily the witch is a downplayed example of this.
* In ''{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3046 Crimney]] before his CharacterDevelopment.
