5
6A style in {{anime}} and {{manga}} of drawing eyes where they droop or sag at the corners. Typically, a {{Moe}} character will have those definitive, sympathy-magnet PuppyDogEyes. It generally represents a kind, quiet, sad, fragile or otherwise soft person. In the BoysLoveGenre, it's a common (although not guaranteed) indicator of who's the {{Uke}}. Only really notable if there are more than a handful of characters that are drawn ''without'' them. Tareme are more prevalent in female and child characters because they appear soft and innocent, therefore feminine.
7
8This does not mean that Tareme Eyes are [[AlwaysLawfulGood Always Lawful]] [[GoodEyesEvilEyes Good Eyes]]. In RealLife, eyes visually take a downward droop when [[HolierThanThou someone is looking down on you]], and [[DissonantSerenity looking calm in a tense situation]] is an affirmatively badass, and/or [[StepfordSmiler insane]] trait.
9
10Note that the ''me'' in ''tareme'' actually means "eyes" in Japanese. We simply wish to be clearer, even if it comes off as redundant.
11
12Its opposite is TsurimeEyes. Compare DrearyHalfLiddedEyes, which can convey similar emotions but are much more common in Western media.
13
14If a character normally has Tareme and switches to Tsurime it might signal a change in [[NotHimself temperament]], [[SplitPersonality personality]], or a BewareTheNiceOnes moment.

20
21[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
22* No small number of characters from Creator/{{CLAMP}} works, due to the ''overwhelming'' amount of kind-hearted, gentle characters.
23* Subverted with Sayoko of ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'': she sports Tareme, but [[RichBitch she's not all that nice.]]
24* Inverted in ''Anime/{{Albegas}}''. Hotaru has big tareme eyes, but is an aloof tsundere who CannotSpitItOut at her male allies, and is a stone-cold AcademicAthlete.
25* ''Anime/AngelBeats'':
26** Yui is the only female character that you see regularly with tareme eyes.
27** The bassist and drummer of GDM have them also, but they get very little screen time comparatively.
28* A very simplified version appears in ''Literature/{{Anpanman}}''. Tamagodonman, one of the youngest donburi characters, and Katsudonman's younger brother, evokes this through his eyes (which for the donburi characters are commonly round circles with pupils) being shaped like ovals that droop downwards. He's a very shy and nervous character, commonly looking downward and fidgeting with his shirt while rocking back and forth. He's pretty insecure about his cooking abilities and the overall quality of his donburi, contrasting with the personality of his older brother.
29* In ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'', [[TheDitz ditzy]] Mira and TokenMiniMoe Mai have droopy eyes, in contrast to the studious Ao and serious Mikage, who have TsurimeEyes.
30* Armin from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' has sparkly, {{moe}} tareme eyes.
31* Osaka, the CloudCuckoolander from ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh''. She also has the same [[Creator/YukiMatsuoka seiyuu]] as fellow cuckoolander Orihime above.
32* ''Manga/BlackButler'': A few characters have these, such as Viscount Druitt and Angela the maid. [[spoiler: Both of these examples are villains, though [[HarmlessVillain Druitt]] is less dangerous than [[BigBad Angela]]...]]
33* Horrendously played with in ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' with Hansel and Gretel. Cute, {{Moe}} little boy and girl in elegant GothicLolita clothes... who will murder the shit out of you if you're ''[[ColdBloodedTorture lucky]]'', [[DissonantSerenity smiling serenely]] all the way.
34* Orihime Inoue, the [[TheMedic healer]] from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''. Also, [[CuteBruiser Ururu]], [[TeamMom Retsu]], [[NiceGirl Momo]], and [[{{Moe}} Hanataro]]. Subverted by [[BewareTheNiceOnes Yachiru]] and lovable Captain Aizen [[spoiler: [[TheReveal pre-reveal]].]]
35* Both Kaho Hinata and Miu Amano from ''Manga/BlendS'' have these eyes, as opposed to [[TsurimeEyes Maika]].
36* Saya from ''Anime/BloodPlus''.
37* ''Anime/CarriedByTheWindTsukikageRan'': Used with the cute Meow.
38* Himeko Kurusegawa of ''Manga/DestinyOfTheShrineMaiden'', who is countered by Chikane's TsurimeEyes. Both are used more liberally in the manga.
39* Male Example: Takeru from ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' 01 and Jianliang/Henry from ''Anime/DigimonTamers''.
40* Son Goku and his own two kids, Gohan and Goten, in ''Manga/DragonBall''. If you examine the manga, their eyes are so wide that their outlines never connect, indicating they're [[NiceGuy the nicest people around]]. When they get pissed though (and consequentially transform into [[SuperMode Super]] [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Saiyans]]) their eyes change into a pupilless {{Tsurime}}. When Gohan gets his final "ultimate" form, from then on, his eyes are fully outlined, to indicate he's lost some of his softness.
41** Keeping these eyes while Super Saiyan is one way to identify that [[spoiler:Goku and Gohan have perfectly mastered the form]].
42** The Jekyll/Hyde esque character Launch gains tareme when she sneezes into her blue-haired good girl personality.
43** ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' episode 79 signals that Gohan is back to being badass when, as he steps into the arena, he closes his Tareme eyes and, when he opens them again, they're back in the serious, outlined Tsurime look he had back in the Buu Saga.
44* Lucy's more innocent "Nyu" personality and Nana have these in ''Manga/ElfenLied''. Subverted with CreepyChild Mariko though.
45* In ''Manga/FairyTail'', Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster make a point of insulting each other with names derived by the others' eye shape. Gray is Tareme while Natsu is {{Tsurime|Eyes}}. "Droopy-eyed bastard!!"
46* Haruhara Haruko of ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'' has Tareme eyes although she is definitely not quiet, fragile, or soft in any way.
47* Fran from ''Manga/FrankenFran''. Honestly, you don't expect someone with those kind of distant, sleepy eyes to be capable of the things she's done.
48* Tachibana Makoto from ''Anime/{{Free}}'' is an interesting case. He's the tallest and most muscular on the Iwatobi swim club, but does have the kind, gentle personality normally associated with this trope.
49** Yamazaki Sousuke also has this eye shape. Though he is nicer than he seems at first, he does have more of a tough guy personality and is not as openly affectionate as Makoto is. While Makoto can still be seen as moe, this is not the case for Sousuke.
50* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'':
51** Alphonse Elric. [[AnimatedArmor Well, when he was human at least.]] [[spoiler:He eventually does get his body back, cute puppy-dog eyes and all.]]
52** Used for the effect of GoodEyesEvilEyes in the case of [[spoiler: Selim Bradley]]. He has these eyes originally, but gains TsurimeEyes when [[spoiler: his true form, as the homunculus Pride, is revealed]].
53* Yura from ''Manga/FutariEcchi'' has Tareme eyes, which she inherited (together with big boobs) from her mother, unlike [[TsurimeEyes her younger sister Rika]].
54* The cheerful and energetic Asuka from ''Anime/FutureGPXCyberFormula'', contrasting the more focused tomboy Miki's TsurimeEyes.
55* Mikan Sakura, the CloudCuckooLander of ''Manga/GakuenAlice''.
56* An interesting example from ''Manga/GetBackers''; [[LoveFreak cheerful, affectionate]] Ginji Amano has wide, bright tareme, in contrast to his [[AntiHero partner Ban]]'s {{Tsurime}}. But when Ginji's [[PsychoElectro Lightning]] [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Emperor]] persona awakens, his eyes become narrow, dark, and markedly Tsurime.
57* ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'':
58** Mikuru Asahina, the MoeBlob.
59** Alt!Yuki from ''The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya'', unlike the regular Yuki Nagato.
60* Haruka Nogizaka, (who looks suspiciously similar to Mikuru) the main (and very moe) character of ''Literature/HarukaNogizakasSecret''.
61* Several characters in ''Manga/HeavensLostProperty'' feature these type of eyes, most notably Chaos. [[AxeCrazy However she does not follow the typical archetype]]. [[spoiler:[[HeelFaceTurn At least not at first]].]]
62* Seras Victoria from ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' has Tareme Eyes, unless she's using her vampire powers and then they become TsurimeEyes.
63* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'':
64** Finland fits the cute type.
65** Denmark fits the more badass type.
66** [[ProperLady Liechtenstein]] as well, contrasting with Switzerland's TsurimeEyes.
67** North Italy, in the rare times that he actually opens his eyes.
68** America also has this, apparently inherited from Finland.
69** [[PsychopathicManchild Russia]] and [[TeamMom Ukraine]]. Also Lithuania, which noticeably contrasts with Poland.
70* The eponymous character of ''Manga/HikaruNoGo'' has this kind of eyes, in contrast to his rival Akira's TsurimeEyes. It serves to underscore his easygoing nature as opposed to Akira's seriousness, at least early on.
71* In ''Manga/HunterXHunter'', Gon has Tareme Eyes that match his more innocent, child-like personality compared to Killua's TsurimeEyes. Unlike other examples, his eyes stay the same when [[spoiler:confronting Pitou but [[ReflectionlessUselessEyes his eyes loses shine]] as he [[DeathGlare gives in to his anger and hate]] making him look unnerving.]]
72* Haruka Amami, Azusa Miura, and Yayoi Takatsuki from ''Anime/TheIdolmaster'' have these eyes.
73* ''Manga/KOn'':
74** Tsumugi Kotobuki and the Hirasawa sisters.
75** Sawako defaults to these, but changes to TsurimeEyes when she's in Catherine mode.
76* ''Anime/KillLaKill'':
77** Mako has these, in contrast with Ryuko and Satsuki's TsurimeEyes (although Satsuki's are a bit subtle, making her seem like she has these).
78** An ironic but male example occurs in Uzu Sanageyama, who, contrary to most portrayals, is rather hot-blooded.
79** On a bit of a villainous note, we have Rei and Nui, however, this is a clue in the former that [[spoiler: isn't as evil as she seems]].
80* While Shouko Komi from ''Manga/KomiCantCommunicate'' actually has TsurimeEyes, adding to the aloof unapproachability she gives off, when things are shown from her perspective, or in certain instances where [[NoSocialSkills her true awkward self emerges]], she's drawn in a much simpler style with wide round Tareme eyes and NoMouth.
81* Sucy, the snarky, sickly-looking heroine of ''Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia'' has rather droopy eyes, whose lids are more often than not lowered, giving her a rather unamused look most of the time.
82* The girls of ''Franchise/LoveLive'' are usually drawn with these. Here are the most notable mentions:
83** In [[Anime/LoveLive the original anime]], [[TeamMom Nozomi Tōjō]], [[ShrinkingViolet Hanayo Koizumi]] and [[NiceGirl Kotori Minami]] have the most noticeable ones around . Nozomi is generally tender, kind and motherly around the other members... unless she's punishing them by [[ThanksForTheMammary groping their chests]]. Hanayo has these to accentuate her timid and soft nature, being a pretty shy, yet kind girl with some social awkwardness and no outdoor voice. Lastly, Kotori has these, matching her sweet and selfless personality, and it's explicitly mentioned in [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary material]] that her soft eyes are her {{charm point}}.
84** In ''Anime/LoveLiveSunshine'', [[NiceGirl Hanamaru Kunikida]], [[PassionateSportsGirl Kanan Matsuura]], [[ShrinkingViolet Ruby Kurosawa]] and [[TheGadfly Mari Ohara]] have the most noticeable ones. Hanamaru is, simply put, an angel in the otherwise DarkerAndEdgier spin-off of the original anime (unless she is with [[{{Chuunibyou}} Yoshiko]], who usually awakens Hanamaru's [[DeadpanSnarker other side]]). Kanan is the group's CoolBigSis and it shows, being a kind, selfless and hospitable girl and caring a lot for her friends. Ruby has them as a foil to her older sister [[{{Tsundere}} Dia]]'s TsurimeEyes, plus she's even more shy and timid than Hanayo was in the original anime. Finally, Mari's eyes reflect her absent mind, mischievousness, and cheerful nature.
85* (Shown above) Tsukasa Hiiragi, from ''Manga/LuckyStar''. Interestingly, her [[PolarOppositeTwins diametrically different]] twin sister, Kagami, is a good example of TsurimeEyes. Miyuki, Hiyori, and almost every other character in the Lucky Star cast are also Tareme. In the earlier manga chapters, Konata was Tareme.
86* Fuu of ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'' has more softly-drawn eyes to fit with her polite and sweet manner, in contrast to her companions' TsurimeEyes.
87* [[AllLovingHero Quatre Raberba Winner]] and [[BoisterousBruiser Duo Maxwell]] from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' are two of the kindest characters in the show, with the eyes to match. Duo's tareme eyes are [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] in official art, but [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated]] in the show.
88* [[ShrinkingViolet Hinata Hyuga]] of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' is this compared to almost everyone else. Note that her more aggressive alternate universe persona in the {{Filler}} movie ''Anime/NarutoTheMovieRoadToNinja'' has TsurimeEyes.
89* A lot of characters in ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'':
90** Konoka and Sayo.
91** Also Zazie, which is important because [[spoiler:it's one of the few ways of distinguishing her from her sister.]]
92** Negi's eyes are this normally....but [[TsurimeEyes when he gets pissed or enters Dark Mode?]]
93** Tsukuyomi has such eyes (most of the time) which contributes to her being CuteAndPsycho.
94* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'':
95** Shinji has these eyes to signify his meek, shy and fragile nature in the anime. While his manga version has more of an attitude, he's still fundamentally the same damaged child deep inside, so these eyes still work in full effect.
96** Despite being a FieryRedhead with a [[{{Jerkass}} harsh and extremely mean]] attitude, Asuka has blue Tareme Eyes. This is meant to show that despite her outside attitude, [[SourOutsideSadInside inside]] she's just as hurt, fragile and insecure as Shinji.
97* Naïve GenkiGirl Shinobu in ''Manga/NinjaNonsense'', her little sister [[{{Tsundere}} Miyabi]] have tsurime.
98* ''Literature/{{Oresuki}}'': [[ManipulativeBastard Joro]] switches between this and TsurimeEyes, depending on whether he's being honest or in "nice guy" mode. Very apparent in episode 3 when Pansy asks him to switch to his "[[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Hyde]]" persona.
99* ''Anime/PersiaTheMagicFairy'': Persia has big blue eyes and is a GenkiGirl who was raised by animals when she lived in Africa. Her MagicalGirl persona also retains them.
100* ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' has Diamond of the ''DP'' trio, who is laid-back.
101* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' has MessianicArchetype Madoka. [[PluckyGirl Sayaka]] also shows this, despite being the tomboy to Madoka's Girly Girl. [[spoiler:Also Homura, until [[BreakTheCutie third timeline]].]]
102* ''Manga/Reborn2004'': Male examples: Tsuna (When he's not in Hyper Dying Will Mode), Basil, Ginger Bread, and Fuuta. Female examples: Kyoko, Haru, Chrome, Nana (Tsuna's mother), and Uni.
103* ''Manga/RentAGirlfriend'':
104** Mami has these, though they [[BitchInSheepsClothing definitely don't match]] [[{{Jerkass}} her personality]].
105** Sumi is a more straight-up example, as they fit perfectly with her [[ShrinkingViolet shy]] but [[NiceGirl kind]] character.
106* [[SplitPersonality Outer Moka]] from ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' sports these, as opposed to [[{{Tsundere}} Inner Moka]].
107* Classic {{moe}} character Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury from ''Anime/SailorMoon'' has a noticeable case, especially when compared to Rei Hino/Sailor Mars, who has TsurimeEyes and {{tsundere}} tendencies.
108* In-universe, characters refer to Sanzo from ''Manga/{{Saiyuki}}'' as being droopy-eyed. This is important to his character development, it belies his [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold genuinely caring nature.]]
109* Kanako Oora and Shouko Maruuchi from ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' has these kinda eyes.
110%% * Cosmo the Seedrian from ''Anime/SonicX''.
111* ''Manga/SoulEater'':
112** Tsubaki, the ever patient weapon of ''Manga/SoulEater''.
113** Also Chrona, the {{Woobie}}.
114** TeamMom Marie has [[EyePatchOfPower one]] of these. And an anti-madness wavelength.
115* Ryoko from ''Manga/SweetBlueFlowers'' has them, likely to underline her well-natured, motherly persona.
116* Kozuka in ''Literature/TanteiTeamKZJikenNote'' has droopy eyes. He's the local dork.
117* Pre-TimeSkip Simon in ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', which only contribute to his ''downright adorable'' smile.
118* Anime/{{Windaria}} [[HouseWife Marie]]'s eyes are noticably rounder and more down pointed than Veronica's or [[TheVamp Selenia]]'s.
119* Ai Ohto in ''Anime/WonderEggPriority'', along with her heterochromia.
120* In ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'', Keima mentions these as one of the reasons the heroine from a [[DatingSim galge]] is his [[ManicPixieDreamGirl soul mate]].
121* ''Manga/YonaOfTheDawn'''s Son Hak's official nickname for [[ChivalrousPervert Jae-ha]] is Tareme. Fittingly, Hak himself has TsurimeEyes.
122* Yugi Muto of ''Anime/YuGiOh'' (Unlike the pharaoh who has TsurimeEyes)
123* ''Anime/YuruYuri'': Similar to the Anime/LuckyStar example, Chitose has these to differentiate her from her [[TsurimeEyes more hot-headed twin]], Chizuru. Akari also has them.
124[[/folder]]
125
126[[folder:Fan Works]]
127* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11886910/1/Gankona-Unnachgiebig-Unità Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità]]'': Italy has these. However, unlike in canon, Italy's eyes are open ''far'' more often, making this trope even more apparent.
128[[/folder]]
129
130[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
131* ''Franchise/TheMuppets'':
132** Rowlf the Dog. He's kind, quiet, calm, soft, easygoing and has moments when he cries in a handkerchief.
133** Also Kermit the Frog.
134[[/folder]]
135
136[[folder:Video Games]]
137* In ''VideoGame/ApeEscape'', monkeys with light blue pants (the shy, nervous ones) have these eyes.
138* Many young characters in the ''VideoGame/DeptHeaven'' series have eyes drawn like this, although it's restricted to the very young knights in ''VideoGame/KnightsInTheNightmare'' (and [[TheIngenue Pisce]]).
139** This is rather amusing in ''VideoGame/RivieraThePromisedLand'', where the {{Tsundere}} of the cast is drawn with ''tareme'' and the good-natured {{Tomboy}} with ''tsurime''.
140* Most of the girls in ''VideoGame/DuelSaviorDestiny'' sport these kind of eyes with the obvious exception of [[{{Tsundere}} Lily.]]
141* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'': Hilda and Sylvain have these, showcasing their more laid-back personalities, especially next to Lysithea and Felix respectively, who have TsurimeEyes.
142* ''VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd'': Timido Cute, whose large tareme eyes accentuate her extremely shy and socially withdrawn personality.
143* ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'': Vert, CPU of Leanbox has these to mesh well with her mild-mannered personality, though it's also been said the reason her eyes are like that are due to countless hours on end spent on video games. Compa, 5pb, Rom, and Ram also have these kind of eyes.
144* CheerfulChild Lip of ''VideoGame/PanelDePon''.
145* A number of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' characters have these to reflect their personalities:
146** Miles "Tails" Prower, being a friendly and mild-mannered young fox.
147** Amy Rose in her classic design, as a RoseHairedSweetie.
148** [[TheCutie Cream The Rabbit]], being characterized for her polite and gentle nature that can win anyone over.
149** Tikal the Echidna, being a {{Pacifist}} FriendToAllLivingThings.
150** Maria Robotnik, also depicted as a pure and NiceGirl.
151* The Squid Sisters from ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'' are an {{Idol Singer}} duo who also host Inkopolis News in the first game. The one with tareme eyes is Marie, who is very sarcastic (especially in the North American translations) and is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. The more peppy Callie has TsurimeEyes.
152* Crowe Brust from ''VideoGame/{{Super Robot Wars Z}}2''.
153* ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'': [[OurSpiritsAreDifferent Musee]] has these, which go well with her cutsey and whimsical personality. [[spoiler: [[CuteIsEvil Not that this makes her any less dangerous]].]] Leia has these eyes as well, despite her hot-bloodness and masculine behavior.
154* The ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' has Satori Komeiji, whose eyes are extremely droopy; enough to look at least half-closed. In the games, this actually serves to give her more of a bored look than a cute one (Her illustration in the Grimoire of Marisa plays it for cute, though).
155* The title character of ''VideoGame/UmJammerLammy''.
156* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'':
157** Sans the skeleton has eyesockets like this., signifying his (usually) passive and inoffensive nature.
158** Toriel, Asgore, [[spoiler:and Asriel]] also have them, and are among the kindest characters in the game.
159[[/folder]]
160
161[[folder:Visual Novels]]
162* ''Franchise/WhenTheyCry'':
163** ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'':
164*** Rena, [[GodInHumanForm Hanyuu]], Rika, and [[BigBrotherInstinct Satoshi]] have tareme eyes. They're all very sweet and nice, [[spoiler:though Rena is prone to the HatePlague that makes people paranoid and violent while Satoshi has been missing for a while after he killed his abusive aunt.]]
165*** Miyo has the adult (i.e. smaller) variety, which gives her a somewhat spaced out expression. [[spoiler:Miyo is the villain, though she used to be sweeter as a child until being put into an OrphanageOfFear and eventually becoming a WellIntentionedExtremist when she grew up]].
166** ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'': Eva Ushiromiya's tareme eyes are apparent in most of her expressions, moreso in the original graphics than the updated [=PS3=] versions, yet she displays the associated personality traits mildly if ever at all, and her smirking and glaring expressions give her an instantly formidable presence. More oddly her witch alter-ego, who should be identical to her at a younger age, has a markedly [[TsurimeEyes tsurime]] cant to her eyes.
167* ''VisualNovel/YuminaTheEthereal'': Maino, Jinbu Academy's resident CuteBookworm, has these.
168[[/folder]]
169
170[[folder:Webcomics]]
171* In earlier installments of ''Webcomic/{{Bomango}}'', Gogo had very pronounced Tareme Eyes. A subverison, since even in those days, [[BoisterousBruiser no one would describe her as]] {{Moe}}. Since she has [[ArtEvolution become more muscular,]] her eyes are no longer drawn in this style.
172* Mitzi from Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}} has these, however, it's unclear if she's like the personality associated.
173* ''Webcomic/CheckPlease'': Jack Zimmerman's eyes are always [[http://checkpleasecomic.com/comic/02-06-01 drawn]] drooping at the corners. He's introduced as a recovering BrokenAce who continues to struggle with anxiety and [[WellDoneSonGuy living up to his father's reputation]], but the style remains after his life takes a turn for the better and he gets a RelationshipUpgrade with [[spoiler:Bitty]].
174* Out of the characters in ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' who have these, an interesting example is Angel, because she's an evil killer and the opposite of innocent. They give her a dreamy look that's pretty creepy in context, and also go with her LightIsNotGood theme.
175[[/folder]]
176
177[[folder:Western Animation]]
178* Professor Squawkencluck from the reboot of ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' is a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]. She sports these kinds of eyes, but [[{{Tsundere}} she certainly isn't quiet or fragile]].
179* ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies'':
180** [[{{Moe}} Cute baby Rowlf]]. Being the StraightMan, he's also the calm, soft easygoing one of the group.
181** Kermit the Frog has Tareme Eyes, too.
182* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
183** Fluttershy has these distinctly sweet, droopy eyes, especially in comparison to her friends.
184** As does Coco Pommel, the first of the key givers we meet in Season 4 and without question the sweetest.
185** And Princess Celestia, [[SiblingYinYang contrasting with]] Luna's {{Tsurime| Eyes}}.
186** Big Macintosh is a male example, fitting with his laconic [[TheQuietOne Quiet One]] personality.
187** Pinkie's twin sister Marble Pie, who is both a ShrinkingViolet like Fluttershy, and TheQuietOne like Big Mac.
188* [[PerkyGoth Julian]] from ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja'' [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/5881e2d509f50993c661b6a3e69a81df/tumblr_n01q9kYZTY1rkr0kvo2_1280.png has these, at least at certain angles]].
189* Blue Diamond from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' has eyes shaped like this, which fits her sad, constantly mourning personality.
190[[/folder]]
191
192[[folder:Other]]
193* Christopher Hart shows us how ''not'' to do this with his character Ariel.[[http://25.media.tumblr.com/197412bddf89dba5291d4effcc5d8a92/tumblr_mf9l4uSJz51r8jjy7o1_500.jpg]]
