11->''"Favours to none, to all she smiles extends."''
12-->-- '''Alexander Pope''', "Literature/TheRapeOfTheLock"
13
14This trope describes a person who loves to flirt with others and playfully generate sexual interest, often from the main character. Maybe they'll try EroticEating a chocolate-dipped [[StrawberryShorthand strawberry]]. Maybe they'll [[SupermodelStrut sidle sensually]] or [[SupermodelStrut walk with an extra sway in their step]], accentuating
15her [[LegFocus elegant legs]] near their target. Maybe she'll go all the way and outright hint at an ''offer'' of sex. Almost always, the teased person will act in various comical ways. As you can imagine, this trope is often used for {{Fanservice}}, teasing the audience as much as the characters, because SexSells.
16
17Certain characters only tease their LoveInterest: in those cases the teasing [[WillTheyOrWontThey is romantic]], with the In-Universe expectation that [[RelationshipUpgrade they will eventually hook up]]. This trope can very easily overlap with ReadyForLovemaking if a character in an OfficialCouple teases their lover. Other characters tease people [[TheGadfly just for the hell of it]]. If the target is NotDistractedByTheSexy, expect The Tease to become frustrated and either give up or up the teasing to dangerous levels. (Possibly mixed with [[AnAesop a morality plot]] if the target suddenly decides to accept an "offer" that The Tease never expected to be taken up on.)
18
19Occasionally, this behavior is given a [[FreudianExcuse dramatic justification]]: it's revealed that this insincere sexual aggression is really a way of feeling powerful and in control, covering up deep-seated emotional insecurities, thus explaining why they can never act on them. See {{Tsundere}} and {{Yandere}} for other common ways fictional character cover their emotional insecurities.
20
21This trope is often associated with the HardDrinkingPartyGirl and is a standard tactic of TheVamp and the FemmeFatale. Male examples often overlap with TheCasanova if they'll flirt with literally anyone. It is not to be confused with either the InnocentFanserviceGirl, or a character who usually doesn't tease people, but ends up in [[WeNeedADistraction a certain situation]] requiring them to ShowSomeLeg.
22
23Compare with TheGadfly, a nonsexual version of this trope to provoke a reaction [[ItAmusedMe for amusement]]. Also compare with ShamelessFanserviceGirl. Not to be confused with TheTeaser.

29[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
30* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'':
31** This is Hakari's defining trait, her PunnyName translating to 'cunning.' She loves to try and get Rentarou's blood pumping by showing off her [[BigBreastPride self-proclaimed (and very often, too) G-cups)]] and cuddling up close to him, but unfortunately for her, he's a CelibateHero, and as the manga goes on and she gets more and more desperate her HormoneAddledTeenager qualities start to become increasingly less... covert.
32** In one chapter Hakari tries to welcome Yamame into [[TrueCompanions the family]] by helping her show a sexier side of herself to Rentarou like she usually does. It... does not work very well, as Yamame just doesn't have that kind of confidence in [[HugeSchoolgirl her body]] and is altogether too pure-hearted. But when Hakari's bra snaps during the attempted seduction, Yamame thinks fast and flips her skirt up to distract Rentarou, something she's deeply embarrassed about as soon as it's over... But judging by the way Rentarou [[MundaneMadeAwesome physically flies over the ground and slams into the opposite wall]], it seems he did very much appreciate seeing that other side of her.
33* Botan from ''Manga/SevenSeeds'' reveals this side of hers later on. She has no problem being (half) naked in front of other people and is even willing to give some eye candy in order to distract someone.
34%%* Urd from ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' does this a lot, especially with Keiichi.
35* [[TheLadette Leone]] from ''Manga/AkameGaKill'' shamelessly flirts with [[NiceGuy Tatsumi]]. She constantly shoves his face into [[MarshmallowHell her breasts]], violates his personal space, pries into his love life, and even ''licked his face'' to mark him as her own. However, given that she blushes whenever he treats her nice it's subtly implied that she does develop a real interest in him. Though that still doesn't stop her from continuing her flirtatious behavior towards him.
36* Riko Mine Lupin IV in ''Literature/AriaTheScarletAmmo''. She knows that Kinji's [[SuperMode Hysteria Mode]] is triggered by sexual arousal and shamelessly takes advantage of this (and of the information she has about his brother) to be very... ''close'' to him -- under the pretext of helping him activate HSS at will, but Kinji doesn't really buy it. Later, though, [[spoiler:she understands that Kinji is more aroused by Aria than by her, and does such things as imitating Aria's voice in a sensual tone or licking her neck in front of him]]. Yes, her Tease status actually has a practical use.
37* Aiko from ''Literature/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts'' is this to the extreme, any appearance she makes is to tease boys, especially Tsuchiya. And when she says she's not wearing any panties or a bra, she is very likely telling the truth.
38* ''Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}}'' has ''nine minutes straight'' of Hitagi starting naked, getting dressed and undressed again in front of Koyomi. Then the next episode starts with her talking about how beautiful she is and constantly skipping for absolutely no reason at all. [[spoiler:They did not long after.]]
39* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', Yoruichi likes to [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl show herself naked in front of Ichigo]], because of his [[CelibateHero hilarious reactions]]. %%To a lesser extent, Rangiku as well.
40* Dokuro from ''Literature/BludgeoningAngelDokuroChan'' acts this way to the main character [[ButtMonkey Sakura]], when she's not [[SociopathicHero brutally murdering]] him with her [[GirlWithPsychoWeapon giant club]].
41* Hagino from ''Manga/BlueDrop'' starts doing this toward Mari as she gradually [[DefrostingIceQueen breaks through her composed stance]].
42* ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'':
43** Mikoto's mother Misuzu is happy to crush her boobs against Touya's arm while he's showing her something. Though apparently he's just as much of a [[UnwantedHarem harem protagonist]] as his son Touma, so maybe it's not really Misuzu's fault. His wife Shina certainly blames him more than Misuzu.
44--->'''Shina''': ''[[[TranquilFury in a disturbingly sweet voice]]]'' Touya-san, you're doing it ''again''!
45** Touma thinks Lessar is doing this when she keeps flipping up her skirt and talking about seducing him. She's actually trying to seduce him to [[HoneyTrap tie him more closely to England]] (though she ''does'' like him for real). Touma is not amused.
46--->'''Lessar:''' What's wrong with you!? You should just do what any man would and jump me already!\
47'''Touma:''' I don't think there's anyone on the planet who would blame me if I slugged you for what you just said.
48** WORST, the EvilTwin of the MISAKA network, tries to seduce Accelerator with some EroticEating. It completely fails, since he views the clones as somewhere between his sisters and his daughters, but definitely ''not'' love interests.
49--->'''Misaka Worst:''' Should Misaka use her tongue seductively as she licks [the ice cream]?\
50'''Accelerator:''' Who are you trying to please by doing that? Yourself?\
51'''Misaka Worst:''' Well, there is that. If it would be devastating to your relationship with Last Order, Misaka will let you touch her tits and ass, but doing it now would seem rather pointless.
52* ''Manga/DontToyWithMeMissNagatoro'' can be pretty much summarized as Nagatoro sexually teasing Senpai all the time while calling him a pervert.
53* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
54** Bulma's mother, Panchy, is rather flirty in both ''Manga/DragonBall'' and ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.
55** Bulma's ''daughter'' inherited the teasing trait. It was shown in ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' when she flirted with two older men while Vegeta, her father, was driving. [[PapaWolf Bad day for those guys]].
56* ''Manga/FairyTail'':
57** Lucy, although it's usually overshadowed by other [[{{Tsundere}} character]] [[GenkiGirl traits]], or just not plot-relevant. However, she does vocally admit to putting effort into being cute for this purpose, although her outfits also tend to be overshadowed by the more {{Stripperific}} outfits worn by... [[NotDistractedByTheSexy well, everyone]]. Other "clues" are also semi-frequently given, such as Erza's reaction to some of her underwear in a drawer.
58--->'''Lucy:''' Aww, come on. How much is it really worth? Surely you can cut me a deal. ''[later]'' That trick usually works! So much for using my feminine wiles...
59** [[CatGirl Loke/Leo]] is a rare male example. Although he has shamelessly flirted with multiple girls, he gets a real kick out of playing Lucy. He uses quite a few one-liners around her and emotionally opens up to her on a personal level to get closer to her, but whenever she's about to get close he admits that he was just screwing with her.
60* ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'':
61** Tsuruya in the novels really likes suggesting to do some intimate stuff with Kyon (and Mikuru). Kyon doesn't fall for it.
62** In fact, Haruhi herself sometimes does it:
63--->"Swimsuits! Swimsuits! Everyone get dressed in your swimsuits and meet in the hall! Hee hee, I've helped choose these two cuties' swimsuits! You must be looking forward to them, right Kyon?" Haruhi revealed an expression of "I know what you've been thinking already" and smiled evilly, revealing her white teeth.
64* While there are many beautiful women in ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'', Akeno Himejima is the Queen of Tease. It doesn't help that she is ''actively'' pursuing the Mistress role and is considered equal to Rias in terms of beauty. Bonus points for the teasing being much to Rias's chagrin, most of the time. ...Didn't we mention that Rias and Akeno are HeterosexualLifePartners and both are in love with the protagonist Issei?
65* ''Manga/ImaizuminChiWaDouyaraGalNoTamaribaNiNatteruRashiiDeep'': Ruri likes to have romantic advances as a game with Imaizumi even if he's not entirely comfortable with it.
66* ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'': Iino is normally a repressive stick in the mud who balks at the very idea of anything sexual happening on the school campus, yet she begins to show a more wicked side of herself towards Shirogane once their Senpai/Kohai dynamic is in place despite not being attracted to him in the slightest. It does a good job in getting across the fact that she feels comfortable enough to fully let her guard down around him (something that she doesn't even do with her best friend Osaragi).
67* Tomoe from ''Manga/KamisamaKiss'' is another rare male example. He is {{Bishounen}} LittleBitBeastly [[AsianFoxSpirit Kitsune]] who is not wholly unaware of his attractiveness and can be quite pragmatic about employing both his looks and his charms when it suits him. [[spoiler: To prove a point, he acts like this towards Nanami once.]] Oh, to add more fun to the mix, he is a ShapeshiftingSeducer too.
68* Kazuma of ''Literature/KazeNoStigma'' for a rare straight male example. It's very clear [[{{Tsundere}} how she feels]] but by the end of the show he's ''still'' just teasing, even though [[spoiler:he's inadvertently revealed that she's the closest living person to him now]].
69* Aikuro Mikisugi of ''Anime/KillLaKill'', Ryuko's homeroom teacher and secret SexyMentor, loves nothing more than annoying her with suggestive comments, stripping, and a complete disregard for personal space.
70* In something of a cross between this trope and TheGadfly, Manabe from ''Manga/KotouraSan'' is a rare male example. He finds amusement (and even some arousal) in [[ImagineSpot having sexual fantasies]] involving the title character, knowing that she [[{{Telepathy}} can read his mind]] and that she embarrasses easily. In fact, to him, it's no fun to picture her in compromising situations like that ''unless'' she can see and react to them.
71%%* Kitsune from ''Manga/LoveHina'' does this, mainly to blackmail money or to cause trouble for Keitaro.
72* ''Franchise/LupinIII'': Fujiko Mine is well aware of her sex appeal and will readily use her feminine wiles to get what she's after. But her policy is "look, but don't touch", so her clients and would-be suitors are usually left wanting after she's [[SoLongSuckers swindled them and run off]] with the goods. And her favorite fall guy happens to be Lupin III himself.
73* Sheryl Nome of ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' shows no remorse about invoking this, even on occasion invoking it on another girl (such as teasing Nanase about her voluptuous figure). Her teasing ranges from subtle and innocent to sexy and blatant, and she's especially fond of invoking it on love interest [[DesignatedHero Alto Saotome]].
74%%* Akemi from ''Manga/MaisonIkkoku'', unfortunately she's not very good at making clear she's just joking.
75* ''Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs'':
76** Sei has this trope written all over her. Most of her obviously sexual teasing is directed at Yumi, though.
77** Sachiko is also not above acting seductively toward Yumi, especially in the first and fourth anime seasons.
78* Kanade from ''Literature/MayoChiki'' is a big one towards Jiro. Particularly hilarious during the beach scene in episode 7 when she makes some really erotic noises and suggestive lines as he tries to nonchalantly put sunscreen on her, embarrassing him a lot in the process.
79* In chapter 60 of ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'', [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Ilulu]] admits that she sometimes submits herself to bouncing her breasts because she finds [[ImpliedLoveInterest Taketo's]] reactions cute. The anime version of that scene instead has her talk about how she likes sleeping due to being set before his introduction, though there is an anime original segment later on where she smirks after catching him staring at her breasts.
80* The arachne (half woman and half spider) Rachnera from ''Manga/MonsterMusume'', even by this manga's standards. She pretty much starts putting the moves on Kimihito - albeit in a mocking fashion - even before she moves in. Once she does move in, she spends an entire day trying to get into his pants.
81** [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Zombina]] also acts like this around Kimihito, as she flirts with him on a fake date and purposely tries to make him nervous by getting him to [[ItMakesSenseInContext sew her breast back on]]. However, she secretly admits to her friends that [[BecomingTheMask her affection for him grew real]].
82* ''Manga/MyDressUpDarling'': At first, Marin has absolutely no problem with letting Gojo measure her body while she's only wearing a bikini, or show him off some sexy lingerie she's trying (even suggesting she would try a sexier one if he asked her). As the story advances and she develops feelings for him, she starts getting more and more flustered around him, though she still does it as her way to show that she's genuinely attracted to him.
83* ''Anime/MyHeroAcademia'' has the superheroine Mt. Lady, an AttentionWhore who enjoys reveling in the MaleGaze, as shown in the very first episode:
84-->'''Mt. Lady''': A pleasure to meet your ass-quaintance!
85* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' has the title character's Sexy Jutsu, which appears to turn him into a naked woman. This results in a {{Nosebleed}} for any male who sees it. Well, except [[spoiler:for Killer Bee, who {{No Sell}}s the Harem Jutsu, Sexy Jutsu's upgraded version]].
86* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'':
87** Evangeline orders her RobotGirl squad to strip Negi naked and throw him into the bath with her while she changes to her busty adult form, only for her to [[InnocentInnuendo start phrasing things in the dirtiest way possible]] before [[KissOfTheVampire licking the cut on his arm]].
88** To a lesser extent, a number of girls in the class make liberal use of MarshmallowHell (especially [[ComedicShotacon Ayaka]]). Of course, [[AdorablyPrecociousChild Negi is ten]], so none of the girls actually get anywhere.
89** Many of Konoka's actions towards [[BodyguardCrush Setsuna]] look like flirting, such as the time she gives Setsuna a FingerSuckHealing. It's ambiguous whether Konoka is doing it intentionally, but Chapter 252 heavily implies she isn't anywhere as innocent as she pretends to be. [[spoiler:Konoka kisses Setsuna for a [[AMagicContractComesWithAKiss Pactio]] and makes it last way longer than it needs to. After that, the resident pervert Chamo asked if they wanted to just skip straight to a full pactio, [[LampshadeHanging commenting on their kiss being the longest yet.]]]]
90* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': Asuka does this all the time to Shinji (when she's not [[{{Tsundere}} angrily berating him]] for allegedly perving on her):
91** One example is when Asuka demonstrates thermal expansion by cupping her hands over her breasts and asking him to calculate how much bigger they've become as a result. Shinji stammers that he doesn't know anything about all that.
92** At episode 9 she pulls a curtain between them and calls it the "Wall of Jericho," ostensibly warning him not to come near her. At the moment it was not clear if she was intentionally dropping a hint (Bible-savvy viewers will remember that the Wall of Jericho is best known for ''falling down''). During her [[spoiler:utterly awful MindRape at the...wings? of Arael, it is made clear that she knew very very well what happened to the Wall of Jericho, and [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe was hoping Shinji did too. Unfortunately he didn't.]]]]
93* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
94** Nami. Beyond her manipulations of [[ChivalrousPervert Sanji]], she also hits on a variety of shopkeepers to get discounts.
95** In the Punk Hazard arc, [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies Monet]] briefly talks about going on a date with [[spoiler:Law]] when he returns to the lab.
96** Wanda the dog Mink of the Mink tribe. After explaining that, far from despising humans, her kind mostly just see them as a variety of Monkey Minks with less hair, she also adds that there are those who wouldn't necessarily consider humans ''un''attractive either... while licking Luffy's face again.
97** In the Wano arc, Komurasaki[[spoiler:/Kozuki Hiyori]] likes teasing with the people she's friends with or people she actually likes as opposed to her "marks" who are usually corrupt crooks she takes for all their worth. She especially likes poking fun as Zoro's flustered responses whenever she brings up how they [[NotWhatItLooksLike shared a bed]].
98* Panty of ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' plays this at least once in almost every episode. Way too much to count. [[AllWomenAreLustful Knowing her...]]
99* Ranma of ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' is a GenderBender thanks to [[TransformationRay a fall in a Jusenkyō spring]]. While he [[IJustWantToBeNormal desires nothing less than to be cured]], he is still more than willing to use his female form's attractiveness to his advantage. Mostly, he uses this to charm guys into giving "her" free food or extra helpings, something a BigEater always welcomes, but he also enjoys using it to mess with the ever-so-shy (and clueless) [[TheRival Ryōga Hibiki]].
100* ''Literature/RebuildWorld'': There is a lot of overlap between this and TheGadfly with Akira's VirtualSidekick Alpha, and his two fellow PrivateMilitaryContractors Sara and (to a lesser extent) Elena. Alpha being InvisibleToNormals does this partially to try and manipulate Akira, and uses the excuse that she's trying to prepare him to resist a HoneyTrap. Elena and Sara tease Akira but also their other friend Katsuya. Akira is frequently NotDistractedByTheSexy (especially if it's during a bath), having trauma induced ParalyzingFearOfSexuality from his DarkAndTroubledPast.
101* ''Anime/RuneSoldierLouie'': [[OurElvesAreDifferent Celecia]] is both a tease and a bit of a BitchInSheepsClothing, where Louie's concerned. She's genuinely [[FriendToAllLivingThings a very kindhearted person]], but she isn't above using his feelings for her to her advantage; only to run off [[SoLongSuckers immediately after he's suited her purposes.]] Melissa and the others hang a massive lampshade on it at the end of the 9th episode (seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVUe1_SqaxA at 18:15-18:57, here).]]:
102-->'''Melissa:''' ''[Smirking]'' Do you ''still'' not get it, Louie? [[ManipulativeBitch That girl was just pretending so she'd get on your good side.]] That way, she could have ''[[UnwittingPawn you]]'' stop the machine.\
103'''Jeanie:''' ''[Irately at Louie]'' You're just lucky we were all on the same team.\
104'''Merrill:''' ''[Smug grin]'' Let's put it this way, Louie: elf girl used you. But as they say: "bitches will be bitches..."\
105''[The girls laugh as Louie realizes [[IdiotHero he's an idiot]].]''
106* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'': Sailor Neptune, Michiru, likes getting a rise out of people and flirting. She's also been shown to intentionally get her girlfriend Haruka jealous.
107* Chihaya of ''Manga/SamuraiHaremAsuNoYoichi'' tease Yoichi this way. It doesn't seem she's ever been serious about taking it too far, just seeing how far she can push him before she gets stopped (by her elder sister when she goes full-out). She writes manga, so it's very clear what she's looking for.
108%%* In ''Manga/WhisperedWords'', Ushio's teasing of Sumika is a clear sign of her growing self-acceptance.
109* [[CatGirl Ikuto]] from ''Manga/ShugoChara'' is a shameless tease and a rare male example. He has the ability to make even the most mundane things he says or does ''drip'' with seduction and [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything sexual undertones]], and he loves to ruffle the heroine's feathers, sometimes pretending like he's flirting with her or about to kiss her, only to pull a "Just kidding!" right when she's good and flustered. No wonder their relationship is [[BelligerentSexualTension the way it is.]]
110* ''Anime/StarDriver'''s Kanako Watanabe exists to make [[TheHero Takuto]] thoroughly uncomfortable with her increasingly suggestive comments.
111* ''Manga/StoryOfADumbPrefectAndHighSchoolGirlWithInappropriateSkirtLength'': StudentCouncilPresident Yamato Nadeshiko enjoys teasing Vice President Kaoru Kogori, who's [[LovesMyAlterEgo head-over-heels]] for her "[[SheCleansUpNicely gal version]]", but doesn't realize they're the same person.
112* Chizuru in ''Literature/StudentCouncilsDiscretion''. Except it seems like if Ken actually tried anything he would probably burst into flames, melt, or get eaten by some invisible monster. Something bad, in any case. [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant She's a little too scary, in any case]].
113* Takagi of ''Manga/TeasingMasterTakagiSan'' combines this with TheGadfly and LovingBully, causing no end of frustration, embarrassment and [[LuminescentBlush furious blushing]] for [[ButtMonkey Nishikata.]]
114* Ryoko from ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' Of course she means her offers towards Tenchi, but she teases others.
115* ''Literature/TheTestamentOfSisterNewDevil'':
116** Mara's favorite hobby is trying to get a rise out of Basara, such as claiming to be wearing a NakedApron in the first episode, only to then reveal her clothing underneath.
117** [[HospitalHottie Chisato]] takes it further. In one scene at her apartment, she has Basara stand behind her while she prepares dinner for him. Then tells him to wrap his arms around her waist and hold her tightly against him. Basara goes along with it but says it's improper, since [[ParentalIncest she's his aunt]] and because she's underdressed.[[note]]Chisato is dressed in one of his school shirts, with [[GoingCommando nothing else underneath]].[[/note]] Chisato asks if that's how he ''really feels''. Before he can answer, she rubs her backside against his crotch and smirks upon feeling him get [[RagingStiffie an erection]], through his pants. Basara pouts that was unfair.
118* ''Manga/ToLoveRu'':
119** Momo regularly sneaks into Rito's bed and in one notable instance pops up between his legs and offers to help him with his love problems. She even freely admits that she wants to be his mistress. And this before the sequel ''Darkness'', where she no longer hides her lustful desire towards Rito!
120** Risa is just as bad, but unlike Momo who only messes with Rito, Risa likes to tease everybody, male or female; she enjoys SkinshipGrope a little ''too'' much, once pushed Rito onto her bed and began stripping him, regularly feels up Yami-chan's legs and just generally acts as sultry as possible.
121** Mea has a desire for Rito to lick her body and at times teases him by asking him to do it to her despite being in front of people.
122* Kureha from ''Manga/{{Tokko}}'' tends to be a tease. Saya also acts as a bit of a tease towards her own brother Ranmaru.
123* [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ami]] from ''Literature/{{Toradora}}'' occasionally tries it with [[TheProtagonist Ryuuji]]. It mostly seems to be a way for her to grab attention while keeping on top of the situation.
124* Jura from ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'' likes to use this trope on Hibiki, especially whenever their mecha are merged together.
125* Urushibara does this a lot to Moroha in ''Literature/WorldBreakAriaOfCurseForAHolySwordsman''. Though she usually only does it if Satsuki is present, as she seems to enjoy provoking the latter any time she gets too friendly with him.
126* [[SexyMentor Victor]] from ''Anime/YuriOnIce'' constantly flirts with [[ShrinkingViolet Yuri]], invades his space, cuddles him, gets naked in front of him, and even jokes about them sleeping together or becoming lovers. Subverted later on when we find out that [[spoiler: Victor was dead serious the entire time, and has been in love with Yuri since their ForgottenFirstMeeting.]]
127[[/folder]]
128
129[[folder:Comic Books]]
130* ''Franchise/TheDCU'':
131** ''ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}'' is well-known for using her sexuality as a weapon. The most obvious case is her flirting with Batman.
132** ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfWonderWoman2016'': Etta will talk flirtatiously with most attractive men but claims and proves to be actually quite picky about who she'll even go out with on even a single date, requiring that they have a good heart as well as good looks.
133* ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'':
134** ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Black Cat always loves to get Peter flustered, whether or not they're actually dating at the moment. She notes that he gets so cute that she can't help herself. Mary Jane Watson does this too especially after Spider-Man defeats his enemies.
135** Young Loki's life mission since [[ComicBook/YoungAvengers some]] [[ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard years]] seems to be to flirt with everybody in the Marvel universe, with no concern of gender or sexuality. They were already a {{troll}} and kind of {{Medium Aware|ness}} -- now they're also OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous and know how to invoke their stance as MrFanservice.
136* Amy's "crush" in ''ComicBook/SonicTheComic'' is implied to just be her teasing Sonic because she likes to see him flustered, in contrast to all other continuities where she's a [[SmittenTeenageGirl Smitten Preteen Girl]].
137[[/folder]]
138
139[[folder:Fan Works]]
140* ''Fanfic/CabinFeverPartingShot'': Marcy and Karen both become this [[WackyFratboyHijinx after having a few too many drinks]], and subsequently engaging in a saucy striptease in front of three of their male friends. Marcy relishes having three horny guys gawking at her naked body. Though Karen's thoughts aren't explicitly stated, she knows one of the guys is crazy about her, and she doesn't seem to have any reservations whatsoever about showing him what he's been missing out on.
141** Implied to be Karen's established role in the aforementioned guy's life. He's loved her from afar for years and apparently she's been leading him on for pretty much the whole time, while simultaneously keeping him in [[JustFriends friendzone limbo.]]
142* ''Fanfic/TheChaoticMasters'': In Chapter 17, Viper is implied to have chosen revealing sleepwear while spending the night at Uncle's shop specifically to get Jackie flustered.
143* ''Fanfic/CodeGeassPaladinsOfVoltron'': Would it be Milly if she wasn't this?
144* In ''WebVideo/DragonballAbridged'', Bulma is accused of being "a cocktease" by Krillin, who finds himself a bit... pent up after she spends the better part of a long spaceship trip in which they're cooped up together in her underwear, and he can't exactly "take care of it" because the only place with privacy on the ship is the bathroom, and Krillin can't do it there because [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext the toilet keeps screaming at him in German]].
145* {{Deconstructed}} in ''Fanfic/TheFlashSentryChronicles''. Like in canon, Rarity flirts and teases with Spike. However, she has also flirted and teased others as well, but they were adults who eventually caught on with what she was doing, while Spike is just a young dragon, and thus he didn’t know that she didn’t truly recuperate his feelings. It also caused Rarity to realize too late that she was TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity with her teasing of Spike, which came to a head in the chapter "Spike’s Heartbreak", where Spike learned [[MomentKiller the hard way]] that Rarity was in a relationship with Lightning Blitz.
146* ''Manga/GunslingerGirl'' OC character Verotrois likes to tease the male employees of the Agency, annoying her fellow cyborgs whenever she does this with their handlers whom they usually [[MoreThanMindControl have a crush on due to their conditioning.]]
147* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11886910/1/Gankona-Unnachgiebig-Unità Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità]]'': Let's just say Italy was one to [[{{Polyamory}} both Germany and Japan]] when he {{Cosplay}}ed as Sailor Moon.
148-->"Hey guys!" The sight that greeted the pair dropped two mouths into oblivion, their blood rushing south faster than the speed of light; impossibly short skirt which showcased voluptuous hips and crimson calf-high boots on legs that stretch on for miles, that cute little red bow on a white blouse that hugged all the right places and elegant gloves which encased lithe arms...it was a miracle upon the holiest upon holiest and merciful of miracles that the ship did not spontaneously detonate in a gory explosion of blood and guts at that very instant. Wink. Two-fingered salute. "Sailor Vene reporting for duty!"
149* ''Fanfic/GhostsOfEvangelion'' deconstructs this. Misato flirts with Shinji because she enjoys a good joke. It never occurs to her that Shinji can think she is being serious or her behavior is hurting Asuka (who has a crush on Shinji):
150-->'''Misato:''' Believe me, Shinji, I'm not some--- some pedophile who's into younger guys. I just thought, "Maybe this will work," and gave it a shot. That's all it was. I promise, Shinji, you don't need to worry about that. You really don't.\
151'''Shinji:''' But you always teased me. All that sex stuff, and the skimpy clothes, and...\
152'''Misato:''' Oh, come on, Shinji, I was just teasing! Look, kid, there's only one man in my life, and you aren't him. Don't read too much into things that aren't meant to be taken seriously! I was just teasing you, that's all. I'll admit it went too far, and I'm sorry if it hurt you, but I'm telling you right now that I don't view you that way at all. It's important that you understand that.
153* ''Fanfic/{{HERZ}}'': Kurumi spends the whole time teasing Shinji and trying to seduce him, much to his terror and Asuka’s wrath.
154* In ''Fanfic/IncarnationOfLegends'', Lusserina purposefully wears {{Stripperific}} clothing to tease others stealing looks at her, winking at Bell, and giving him a playful smirk when he catches him staring at her.
155* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'': Two Words: [[WesternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderMan Felicia Hardy]]. Who is not shy on heavily flirting with Danny.
156* Neo in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12764610/32/Mending-the-Knots Mending the Knots]]'' is very fond of [[PowerPerversionPotential using her illusions to tease Jaune]], such as making him think she's naked when she's actually fully clothed.
157* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'' has a couple.
158** {{Downplayed}} for Olga from the original version, who occasionally makes flirtatious remarks towards Kyril, but this merely overlaps with being TheGadfly, and she doesn't behave this way towards other people. Neither has she done anything drastic. His inevitable reaction would be to [[CelibateHero bluntly talk through her attempts to flirt]].
159** Shani is the mistress of [[TheOldestProfession the Rosie]], so this behaviour is [[JustifiedTrope to be expected]]. She doesn't hesitate to ShowSomeLeg or [[SupermodelStrut walk in a suggestive way towards]] Kyril when the two meet. She even offers Kyril to [[DoubleEntendre relax]], though he politely declined.
160* In a side story of ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'', Misty shows some shades of this when she drags Ash to go on a swimsuit-shopping spree with her. Though in her case, it's partly because she's attracted to him. This later carries over to the main story, showing that Misty's behavior also rubbed off on Iris and [[spoiler:Anabel]], both of whom start being more open about their own interest in Ash.
161* ''Fanfic/QuirkIncubus'': Since flirting has sexual connotations, Ruki has taught Izuku to do it regularly as a socially acceptable means of stockpiling power with his quirk. Izuku often does this to Bakugo both for this reason and to get a rise out of him.
162* ''Fanfic/TheRenegadeHeroInvaderZim'': Jinmay loves to poke fun at Gaz by implying she has a crush on Zim, or otherwise acting provocative towards her regarding their own relationship.
163* ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'':
164** Mei Terumi loves using her good looks and charms to mess with people, ''especially'' with Zabuza Momochi. [[spoiler:The two eventually end up getting married.]]
165** Fu shows some shades of this after the timeskip, nonchalantly asking Hinata if she and Naruto have already had sex with each other, while also hinting that she'd like to have it Shino (while she's staying at his home, no less).
166* ''WebAnimation/ToBelong'': Sinbad accidentally flirts with Esmeralda right in front of her girlfriend, Jasmine. Sinbad doesn't know that Esmeralda's taken, but Esmeralda likes seeing Jasmine get jealous and worked up so she lets him flirt with her.
167* In ''Fanfic/UnstableEquilibrium'', Asami liked to tease and flirt with Korra even before they were officially dating.
168* ''Fanfic/WhiteSheepRWBY'': Yang is very flirty all the time, and often jokingly says "it's a date!" whenever she plans an outing. She's rather flabbergasted when Jaune takes those jokes seriously and treats them as real dates, complete with hand-holding and flowers. Since she's a {{Tomboy}}, she's never had anyone treat her in a real romantic manner, and has no idea what to do with herself.
169* In ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', Mai Valentine does this, especially just to see Joey squirm.

171
172[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
173* Sugarpuss in ''Film/BallOfFire'' seems to enjoy flirting with the shy English professor Bertram while she waits to elope with her fugitive boyfriend. At first, she tries to ShowSomeLeg to convince him to live in the mansion he shares with his colleagues and then continues to use this tactic to make him allow her to stay longer. She [[HandsOnApproach demonstrates]] what the phrase "yum yum" means and smooches him a couple of times, and re-enacts the first time he became attracted to her. It works like a charm, however, it worked a little too much because the next day, Bertram proposes to her.
174* ''Film/BestInShow'': [[CampGay Scott Donlan]] doesn't hesitate to ogle or flirt with anyone who catches his eye, despite already being in a relationship.
175* ''Film/TheEigerSanction'':
176** Women hitting on Hemlock usually make a point of [[ShowSomeLeg crossing their legs in his eyeshot]].
177** When Hemlock balks at climbing further, George takes off her top (and [[GoingCommando she's not wearing a bra]]) to give him incentive to keep climbing, but by the time he gets up there she's vanished, much to his annoyance.
178* The parody of Mystique in ''Film/EpicMovie'' is certainly this. She originally found Peter unappealing for being a loser, since he was considered an outcast due to his lame power of "Chicken Wings". However, after finding out that he was gonna be the King of Gnarnia, she suddenly found him incredibly attractive. The night before the final battle, she walked over to him rather sexily, teasing him and eventually seducing him into having sex with her. She continued to tease him in bed by transforming into his desires using her shapeshifter powers.
179* In ''Film/AForeignAffair'', Creator/MarleneDietrich is the epitome of this trope to the [=MPs=] that plan to take her to HQ and question her. But she has a [[ShowSomeLeg convincing way]] to seduce them.
180* ''G-Force'': Juarez to Darwin and Blaster. When Darwin complains about her keeping them in confusion and desperation, she replies that is exactly how she likes it.
181* Nellie in ''Film/TheHalfBreed'' strings along several men -- dating Sheriff Dunn, canoodling eponymous half-Native American Lo and meeting him in the forest for trysts, dating local businessman Jack Brice. In the end, she tells Jack that he's the only man she ever loved.
182* A relatively uncommon male example of this with Father Leon, the SexyPriest in ''Film/LeonMorinPriest''. He is clearly tempting all the sexy, horny women in the village with the promises of erotic delights that he has no intention of delivering because he's a priest. He even goes so far as to brush the cheek of poor frustrated Barny, his main target, with the sleeve of his cassock during a church service. What's unclear is if Leon teases Barny and all the other lonely women as a means of roping them in to the Catholic Church, or whether he does it ForTheEvulz.
183* ''Film/LizInSeptember'': Coqui openly flirts with Liz early on, and tries to seduce her although she's got a girlfriend. Liz nearly gives in, but a call stops them.
184* ''Film/TheStoryOfTempleDrake'': How Temple gets her rocks off, by luring all the bachelors in town to spend time and money on her, and letting them feel her up, but never actually having sex with them. One annoyed suitor says "You always do that. Fire a man up and then poof, put him out." Someone else writes on a bathroom wall, "Temple Drake is just a fake/She wants to have and eat her cake."
185* ''Film/AWomansTestament'': Kimiko does this for a living. She's a bar girl who wears provocative clothing, cuddles up to men, strings them along, gets them to fork over some money in expectation of sex...and then she doesn't provide the sex, usually resorting to an IHaveToIronMyDog excuse. She has taken up with many men, but she says that she's only had to have sex with them twice, because every other time she's been able to get out of it (after getting the money).
186* ''Film/YoungAndWild'': Antonia says Daniela is an "Evangelitease" for flirting with her and then running off. The two have sex after this.
187[[/folder]]
188
189[[folder:Literature]]
190* The very first sentence of ''Literature/TheLittleHouse'' reads "Mélite took to the company of men with great ease, and only kindly souls and the best of friends did not consider her a flirt." [[labelnote:In the original French,]] "Mélite vivoit familièrement avec les hommes, et il n’y avoit que les bonnes gens, ou ses amis intimes, qui ne la soupçonnassent pas de galanterie." [[/labelnote]] And certainly, Mélite enjoys the power she holds over the Marquis Trémicour when she is allowed to dictate the pacing of the tour of his private residence, and especially when she can frustrate his clumsy, amorous advances. But the narration goes out of its way to clarify that her intentions are innocently coquettish, never malicious.
191%%* Deconstructed with Meredith Rand in Literature/ThePaleKing.
192* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'':
193** Margaery Tyrell. Despite [[spoiler: Cersei's]] best attempts to get her to commit adultery so she can be discredited, it seems that Margaery flirts but is too clever to let it go any further.
194** Seems to be a Tyrell family trait: Margaery's brother, Loras "The Knight of Flowers" Tyrell, regularly puts on a show of distributing white roses to his female fans during tournaments before singling out one to give a red rose to, all designed to pump up his reputation as a knight and, incidentally, obfuscate the fact that he's ''very'' gay in a very much non-gay-friendly setting.
195** In ''[[Literature/TalesOfDunkAndEgg The Sworn Sword]]'', Lady Rohanne has a single plait that she plays with coquettishly whenever she's flirting with Dunk. When it's time to leave her, [[BelligerentSexualTension he cuts it off as a souvenir.]]
196* ''Literature/SpiceAndWolf'':
197** Holo loves to tease her partner Lawrence by flirting with him about their relationship.
198** Lawrence seems to be well able to give back all that he gets in this department. Despite her centuries more experience, he seems to do better in the long run with this trope. Lawrence ups his game in the second arch; at that point, he was almost matching her blow for blow and actually won once.
199%%* Literature/TrappedOnDraconica: Daniar is accused of this by Kalak.
200[[/folder]]
201
202[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
203* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
204** Renegade Slayer [[ReallyGetsAround Faith]] does a GrandTheftMe on Buffy and encounters [[StalkerWithACrush vampire Spike]] while dancing at the Bronze. She proceeds to explain in lurid detail exactly what a hot chick with SuperStrength could do to him if she wished, but then smirks and says, "But it would be wrong." Spike is needless to say furious, but thanks to his inhibitor chip can't do anything about her taunting. At least, not that season.
205** When Spike first gets his RestrainingBolt, preventing him from biting humans, Buffy taunts him with her uncovered neck.
206--->'''Buffy:''' Oh, look at my poor neck. All ''bare'' and ''tender'' and ''exposed''. All that blood just ''pum-ping'' away.\
207'''Spike:''' Giles, make her stop!
208** PlayedForDrama in "When She Was Bad". Suffering a HeroicBSOD after her first NotQuiteDead moment, Buffy lapses into AlphaBitch behavior, doing a MatingDance with Xander at the Bronze, then after raising a hint of RescueSex, walking out on him.
209* Kate Beckett in ''Series/Castle2009'' loves to drive ChivalrousPervert Rick Castle up the wall with her comments and her flirting. It's even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in one episode:
210-->'''Castle:''' You should really moonlight [as a dominatrix]. Trust me -- you would make a ''fortune''. Come on, isn't there anything you would like to do with your handcuffs besides arresting criminals?\
211'''Beckett:''' No... ''[seductively]'' but there is one hot, wild, ''kinky'' thing that I do like doing...\
212''[Castle's elbow slips off the table as he stares at her earnestly]''\
213'''Beckett:''' ''[flatly]'' Putting killers behind bars.\
214'''Castle:''' ''[disappointed]'' See, you're already a tease -- you're halfway there.
215** Deconstructed in the fourth season when, owing to a chain of misunderstandings and secrets, Castle eventually comes to believe that it really ''is'' all just a joke to her -- and, since he's fallen deeply in love with her by this point, does not take it well. Which causes a bigger mess when he starts lashing out, much to Beckett's hurt and confusion since she actually ''is'' in love with him as well.
216* Played for laughs on ''Series/CriminalMinds'', in which the not-involved Morgan and Garcia mutually tease each other. Their sexy phone banter is seen usually once an episode, and while their team no longer even notices their outrageous flirtations, it tends to send others for a loop.
217%%* Blair admits she's this on ''Series/TheFactsOfLife''.
218* Kid-friendly example in ''Series/ICarly''. Carly mentions that she's making piña colada lip gloss. When Freddie asks if it actually tastes like it, she asks him if he wants to find out. He eagerly agrees. She leans in... only for her to rub some of it on her hand and smoosh it against his lips.
219* Selina Kyle from ''Series/{{Gotham}}'' is a teenage example. She frequently flirts with [[DatingCatwoman Bruce Wayne]] and even steals a few kisses off of him just to make him shy.
220* Ziva in ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' frequently sends Tony's blood pressure ridiculously high on purpose.
221* Alexis Rose on ''Series/SchittsCreek'' loves to telegraph her sexual availability regardless of her relationship status: "I'm a little bit single, even when I'm not!" She flirts shamelessly with Mutt in Season 1, and she also gets ready to tease a hot young man on a motorcycle, only to discover it is Ted, her former fiancé whom she dumped for being too nice. She also flirts with an amused but uninterested Patrick, which leads her to conclude correctly that the young businessman is interested in her brother. Eventually, in order to win Ted back, Alexis must become a better person rather than rely on her usual flirty techniques.
222* ''Series/TheShannaraChronicles'': Eretria constantly flirts with Wil and Amberle during Season 1, while also denying she's attracted to them.
223* ''Series/StargateSG1'': Daniel assumes Vala is this. He's wrong, as [[BelligerentSexualTension she has real feelings for him]], but she certainly teases other male cast members with no intention of putting out.
224* In ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'', naive Jake asks a girl what her lip gloss tastes like and when she asks if he wants to find out he says "sure". She leans in for a kiss, but Jake scrapes his finger over her lips then put it in his mouth.
225* Cat in ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' is completely good-natured, but shown to be quite flirtatious.
226[[/folder]]
227%%
228%%[[folder:Theater]]
229%%* ''Hilde Wangel'' in both the plays she appears in,''Theater/TheLadyFromTheSea'' and ''Theater/TheMasterBuilder''.
230%%* ''Theater/MissJulie''. The titular character ''is'' this trope. At least until the end of the first act.
231%%[[/folder]]
232
233[[folder:Music]]
234* "I Know What Boys Like" by Music/TheWaitresses features a woman bragging in a DeadpanSnarker tone about how much of a tease she is.
235-->I got my cat moves that so upset them
236-->Zippers and buttons, fun to frustrate them
237-->They get so angry, like pouty children
238-->Denied their candy, I laugh right at them
239%%* "Day Tripper" by Music/TheBeatles.
240* From "When You're Alone (It Ain't Easy) by Journey:
241--> "She told me she'd be there, She phoned me today. Little girl, big teaser, So I'm on my way."
242[[/folder]]
243
244[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
245* [[Wrestling/CheerleaderMelissa Alissa Flash's]] gimmick (besides [[Wrestling/SherriMartel Sensational Sherri]] eye paint) used to be that she would wear a jacket that exposed a sports bra, and then zip it up so no one could see it. Can you imagine that the fans in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling the Impact Zone]] booed her for this?
246* This became Wrestling/TheBeautifulPeople's gimmick, following their reunion in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]], which began with Wrestling/AngelinaLove and Wrestling/VelvetSky promising to strip, [[ILied only to admit they lied.]] Love and Velvet have even leaned in almost mouth to mouth during their entrances, only to pull away when the camera zooms in and give nothing but a mocking {{finger wag}}.
247* Wrestling/MollyHolly, in a very LeaningOnTheFourthWall way. Her ''Wrestling/{{WWE}} [[LingerieScene Divas Undressed]]'' shoot included her showing cleavage in a pajama top with most of the buttons unbuttoned except for the one that would actually have shown her breasts if she unbuttoned it, clearly aware that viewers would want her to unbutton that button and that she wouldn't do it.
248[[/folder]]
249
250[[folder:Video Games]]
251* In ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'', the titular HotWitch will invoke this trope during ''most'' of her screen time. Notable examples include: straddling/fake kissing [[ChivalrousPervert Luka]], [[ItMakesSenseInContext letting several angels]] [[BattleStrip strip her naked]] before donning her usual SpyCatsuit made of MagicHair in [[VideoGame/Bayonetta2 the second game's opening]] (complete with [[TheImmodestOrgasm inappropriate moaning]]), [[ThirdPersonSeductress slowly dancing with a stripper pole during the credits]] and dressing like a NaughtyNun at [[spoiler:her own fake]] funeral.
252* [[SuccubiAndIncubi Morrigan]] from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' is a succubus who likes to taunt Demetri with her charms, knowing that he is smitten with her... [[SlapSlapKiss at times]].
253* ''Franchise/DragonAge'':
254** Isabela teases just about everyone during party banter in the [[VideoGame/DragonAgeII second game]], especially Carver and Aveline.
255** [[{{Tsundere}} Morrigan]] is a milder version in the [[VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins first game]]; she limits her teasing to [[PlayerCharacter the Warden]], [[TheStoic Sten]], and [[DeadpanSnarker Alistair]] but certainly does tease those three quite a bit.
256** Zevran is like this with everyone except the player character (whom he will happily have sex with). In particular, he enjoys teasing [[IceQueen Morrigan]], [[TheCutie Leliana]], [[SilverFox Wynne]] and Alistair. On a couple of occasions, [[NoYay Oghren]] too. Most of it seems to be for trollish reasons.
257** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening'' comically reveals ''Oghren'' to be this; Sigrun finally responds to his drunken come-ons and he doesn't take her up on it, and she crows that he's all talk.
258* ''VideoGame/Fallout4'': K-LEO, the sultry, seductive owner of Goodneighbor's weapons store. She's also an ''Assaultron.'' Interestingly, she accuses you of being this trope if you decide not to buy any of her wares.
259* ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel'':
260** Forte Stollen sometimes shows shades of this, putting on a seductive voice to tease Tact. On the sequel trilogy she also teases her protegé Kazuya on occasion.
261** In ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngelII'', Tequila is the only one among the Rune Angels who actively flirts with Kazuya for fun. Her teasing grows more substantial if she's romanced. Kahlua does this too, since it's slightly easier for her as the oldest member of the group, but Tequila definitely does it more often.
262* Kaeya from ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' seems to be interested in the player character romantically, and outside of serious moments, most of his dialogue consists of flirtations and asking the player out on dates. Some dialogue options allow you to tease him back, though not as much as he does.
263* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel III and IV'' has Musse Egret constantly teasing that she wants to get together with [[TheHero Rean]], her [[TeacherStudentRomance teacher]]. She cements her interest in Rean in ''IV'' by [[spoiler:catching him off-guard and kissing him at the beach with just the two of them while wearing swimsuits.]] Whether Rean reciprocates or not however depends [[DatingSim depends on the player.]]
264* Kyrie from ''VideoGame/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable: The Gears of Destiny'', who hits on both [[ShrinkingViolet Fate]] ''and'' [[NotSoStoic Chrono]] during her matches against them.
265* In ''VideoGame/MegadimensionNeptuniaVII'', [[TheHero Neptune]], [[SuperMode as]] [[LadyOfWar Purple]] [[TheComicallySerious Heart]] of all people, manages to be this towards one of the villains of the game.
266* Sylvia Christel from ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', almost sadistically so. Of course, the person she's teasing is [[LovableSexManiac Travis]], a bit of an easy target and she easily becomes his LustObject, convincing him to go along with the fights by promising to sleep with him when he reaches 1st place (she doesn't). In ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'' she acts much the same way, even trying to tempt him ''again'' with the promise to sleep with him if he gets to 1st place. He refuses it at first, but she begins to brag about how she's a SexGoddess and a [[FlexibilityEqualsSexAbility Yoga Master]] and he's interested again.
267* Sayoko Uehara, the character for ''VideoGame/Persona4''[='=]s Devil Social Link, makes her introduction by hitting on the protagonist, and does it some more for the next 3 or so levels of the S-Link. [[spoiler:Then she stops being playful as we see [[{{Workaholic}} another side of her]]...]]
268* Falls-From-Grace of ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment''. She's a succubus, after all, even though she's a lapsed one, and she's not above joking about it.
269** For instance, attempting to unequip her bodice:
270--->''"We don't know each other well enough yet."''\
271''"I'm afraid if you were to remove that... I would be naked."''
272** And equipping a ring:
273--->''"Oh! Does this mean we are engaged?"''\
274''"A ring? Without a proposal? How improper!"''
275* In ''VideoGame/PotionPermit'', Helene is well-aware of her feminine charm, which she uses to flirt with you and Dean.
276* From ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryIII'', the Welcome Woman, Janna Jamir. The player can flirt with her, but nothing ever comes of it (though it's a good and quick way to build your Communication score), and it should also be pointed out that ''she's married''. Not that it stops her from often being the instigator of the exchanges. Additionally, she'll strike a sexy pose (well, by the standards of 256-color VGA graphics c.1992) when she goes to get your meal if you choose to flirt.
277-->'''Janna:''' It is not just the room you warm with your sunshine, oh prince of passion. Your words inflame my cheeks and other places.
278* Ada Wong from ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' is a professional FemmeFatale who playfully flirts with Leon Kennedy while fighting against him and using him for her own secret agenda. She usually leaves him every time after manipulating him. However, [[BecomingTheMask she eventually develops real feeling for him]], but her seductive behavior doesn't cease.
279* Leon in ''VideoGame/RuneFactory4.'' Even if you ''don't'' pursue his RomanceSidequest, he still relentlessly teases the player with various flirtations. He also constantly teases [[LadyOfWar Forte,]] much to her chagrin.
280* Keiji from ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' is a male version, though he doesn't use his own charms. Rather, all he needs to do to make his favourite victim and resident ChasteHero Yukimura blush is mention that he should find someone to love.
281* ''VideoGame/ShiningResonance'': Rinna is a habitual flirt and [[TheGadfly a troll]], which makes her the most forward of all the girls in Yuma's harem. She'll usually toy with him long enough to get a reaction, before letting him know she's joking. But it can be subverted if the player chooses to have Yuma woo her. In which case, all her teasing turns out to be [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold genuine attempts]] to gain his affections.
282* ''VideoGame/SilverFallsGaidenDeathlyDelusionDestroyersAndRubyRiver'' has Mimmet, who came to the camp in search of Bull Brandish, hoping to catch him in a state of undress after swimming. When she realizes that he isn't there, she tries flirting with Gus, which fails due to him desperately searching for [[IncompatibleOrientation his missing husband.]] Minutes later, she tries [[InnocentlyInsensitive flirting with Bass,]] only to be shot down immediately due to his depression over his failed marriage.
283* Rouge the Bat from ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''. She sarcastically flirts with Knuckles, Shadow, Sonic, Tails, Eggman... (Though the first two could also be not so sarcastic.)
284* ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration'': Excellen Browning. What? Teasing your fellow pilots to see you in [[PlayboyBunny Bunny Suits]] doesn't count? Or walking around in nothing but a towel. Or mercilessly hitting on the guys she knows are either shy or easily flustered around women. She leaves it at that except in the case of her SingleTargetSexuality. She typically claims to be straight but states she would [[IfItsYouItsOkay make an exception]] for certain women.
285* ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'':
286** PlayedForLaughs with Anise from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss''. Anise ''thinks'' she can be this and she tries, but due to being 13 and looking about 10, she fails hilariously, most notably in one skit appropriately titled "Operation Sexy Anise... Failed?!", in which Anise wears her bathing suit to distract/stun monsters with her "sexiness" and thus leave them open for attack. Luke and Guy tease her by saying the monsters seemed drawn to her and ask her to wear it again for the next battle.
287** Judith from ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' loves making Raven faint.
288--->'''[[MsFanservice Judith]]:''' I wonder if I should show a little more, you know...?\
289'''[[ChivalrousPervert Raven]]:''' Oh, yes! OH ''GOD, YES!''
290** In ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2'', Muzet acts like this to the guys. All of her unique victory quotes with them involve teasing, and she really loves doing it to Ludger and Jude in cutscenes/skits. With the exception of [[DoubleEntendre 'tethering']] with Jude and Gaius, she doesn't ever take it further. If Ludger maxes her affinity, her victory quote will change from teasing to one where she ''apologises'' for teasing him all the time.
291** Zaveid from ''VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria'' will flirt with every female member of the party, but it doesn't appear to be serious at all. He even says a flirtatious line to a female comrade if he's casting a ''healing spell'' on her.
292* Karura in ''VideoGame/{{Utawarerumono}}'' does this a lot. Although she's generally joking or simply, well, teasing, it's pretty clear she would like to be taken up on her offers.
293* ''VideoGame/AVeryLongRopeToTheTopOfTheSky'': Svetlana towards Gainer, since he's unattached, and she's blatantly displaying her body:
294--> '''Svetlana:''' Why, Gainer, did you come all this way to see me?\
295'''Gainer:''' Uh...\
296'''Svetlana:''' Whoops, looks like I accidentally dropped my knife. How careless of me! Let me slowly bend over and pick it up.\
297'''Gainer:''' [[VisibleSilence ...]]
298[[/folder]]
299
300[[folder:Visual Novels]]
301* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'':
302** Rin Tohsaka admits that she finds Shirou's reactions to her teasing/tormenting hilarious. He gets extremely embarrassed and shy just being alone with or near her or even just seeing her in ''non-school clothing''. On the other hand, she herself gets rather flustered by how straightforwardly honest he is. Although she is something of a love interest, she's not flirting, just [[TheGadfly enjoying his awkwardness.]]
303** This gets turned on its head in the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' route, where she and Shirou actually do hook up. Shirou eventually starts getting her back by taking her jokes at face value, which in turn causes ''her'' to get all embarrassed and flustered.
304* Hiroki in ''VisualNovel/Canvas2'' enjoys flirting with his students. Contrary to what you might expect, he never gets in trouble for it.
305* Sakazaki Yuuya of ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'' shows signs of this. He's a massive tease but his flirtations seem to be more for fun than serious -- he's actually too busy to "take you somewhere nice" or just about anything else.
306* Shion Sonozaki in ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' likes to hit on Keiichi to make her twin sister Mion (who has a crush on him) jealous, by doing such things as squeezing his arm between her breasts. She doesn't have any real feelings for him though, because she's [[SingleTargetSexuality only interested]] in [[spoiler:Satoshi]] [[spoiler:or at least that was the case at first. In Meakashi-hen, she admits she's started to fall for Keiichi later on because as she puts it, both twins always had the same tastes, as Mion admits that she liked Satoshi too]]. Compare with Mion, her [[TheGadFly gadfly sister]].
307* Kurugaya from ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'' loves to tease Riki by doing things like casually asking him to take a bath with her or sending him a photo of a striped piece of paper and telling him it's of her panties because she finds it adorable how flustered he invariably gets. It takes him a while to realise that, while she's very adept at dishing it out, she isn't at all used to getting it back, and when he starts teasing her a little after they start going out she gets every bit as flustered as he does.

311* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has two. One [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-09-06 insists]] on {{shapeshifting}} into ''attractive'' females, and the other [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2008-05-19 combines]] it with being InnocentFanserviceGirl through having SingleTargetSexuality.
312* Akila, resident NatureSpirit and MsFanservice of ''Webcomic/TheNoordegraafFiles''. Due to her being a literal nymph, she's able to catch the gaze of quite a few characters - and she milks it for all she can get.
313* ''Webcomic/{{Oglaf}}'': Mistertique, [[spoiler:a.k.a. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Clit Tease]]]] is a rare [[GenderFlipped heterosexual male example]]. His whole schtick involves seducing women, then leaving before actually doing the deed. Since, y'know, that would ruin the '''Masculine Mystique'''. ([[ForbiddenFruit Not that this makes him less desirable in-universe]].)
314** In one storyline, a "tease and denial expert" is shown responding to a summons for breaking a... rather particular curse:
315--->Make this man come without touching his cock
316* In the {{fan|Fic}} [[{{Webcomic}} comic]] ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' we have Mr. King (aka the Erlkönig), who is a heterosexual male and to quote the fans a "bloody flirt" to several female characters (seems to try this with any woman who doesn't know him well enough).
317* ''Webcomic/{{Boyfriends}}'': Nerd is a much bigger tease than his cutesey demeanor would suggest and he has quite a lot of fun getting a rise out of his boyfriends with his shenanigans.

321* Deconstructed in the ''WebAnimation/MangaWomensEden'' episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dnlC6Skp58 The tragic fate of a woman who wanted to be treated like a princess forever]]'': When Himeko found out her charms didn't work on Yuki-san, she tried to flirt harder to steal him from her superior Choko-san. Moreover, she didn't stop trying to flirt with Yuki-san ''even on his wedding day'', causing her superiors to find out and order her to take a break before demoting her to a smaller branch.

325%%* Creator/BradJones' wife has shown shades of this during Softly Through Cable.
326* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'': Vex'ahlia's general demeanor. She's very fond of calling people "dear" and "darling", especially while trying to charm them into giving her stuff/doing her favors, accompanied with a trademark flirtatious wink.
327** Jester continues this in the second campaign, being the most flirtatious member of the Mighty Nein, particularly around Fjord, but also with Beau and Caleb on occasion. It is for an entirely differnet reason than Vex, as Jester [[DaughterOfAWhore grew up in an environment]] where all conversation was flirty and sexualized, which really shaped the way in which she herself socializes with others.
328* Creator/DougWalker tends to act like this for fun and fanservice, even including jokingly flirting with his brother.
329* Ashe Gogus in ''Literature/IlivaisX'' certainly is this. Her comments are never overtly sexual, but she's extremely flaunty and every other sentence she spouts has something to do with boobs.
330* Sarah does this to Danielbeast a bit in ''WebVideo/Lonelygirl15'' series 1. Then she tells him to back off when she decides he's taking it too seriously.
331* Dr. Tease from WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick's show flirts with everybody just for fun. Her full name is basically a pun for "cocktease" ("Doctor Coquette Tease").
332* Gay male example: Jeremy acts like this toward Simon in ''Literature/ShadowOfTheTemplar'' even after they get into a sexual relationship, mainly because it flusters/irritates Simon and possibly also because it's the easiest way for him to [[CannotSpitItOut express his deeper feelings for him]].
333* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': In "Boston Brawl", Nikki and Billie delight in tormenting Hank by exaggeratedly flirting with him and draping themselves over him.

337* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': Catwoman maintains the flirtatious nature of her comic book counterpart by coming on to the dark knight himself in every episode featuring her. She and Batman always have a romantic moment in their encounters, but she'll usually leave him by the end. It sadly ends with their relationship going nowhere, with her abandoning him after he saves her yet again.
338** Poison Ivy loves cozying up to Batman while trying to kill him. In her debut episode [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison "Pretty Poison"]] she practically treats their encounter like [[CaptiveDate a date]], coyly slinking out from behind a tree, sensually rubbing his shoulders, even giving him what's effectively a [[ForcefulKiss goodnight kiss]]. And, based on her passionate moaning while they locked lips, Ivy honestly enjoyed doing it. Too bad he had to kick her in the face, [[MomentKiller ruining]] their "late night rendezvous."
339* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': In an off-hand joke, Lois describes [[DoubleStandard all women]] as this when she ExperimentedInCollege. It's the reason why [[CrossesTheLineTwice she went back to men]].
340* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'', "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS2E4TaskForceX Task Force X]]": After Colonel Flag introduces Lawton to Sans Souci as the explosives expert, she immediately begins coming onto him and flirts with him throughout the entire episode.
341-->'''Lawton:''' I know, I've seen the pictures.\
342'''Sans Souci:''' ''[smiling]'' And that's all you're gonna get to see, killer.
343* ''WesternAnimation/MaoMaoHeroesOfPureHeart'': A subtle example with Tanya Keys, who consistently trolls Mao Mao with her pranks, pet names and sultry voice.
344* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Child-friendly example, Rarity constantly utilizes her charms and good looks to get her way.
345* All of WesternAnimation/RedHotRidingHood's musical numbers have her dancing as provocatively as possible usually wearing a SexyBacklessOutfit and singing songs about wanting arms wrapped around her.
346* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', Molotov Cocktease is the target of constant BelligerentSexualTension with Brock, but it can never be resolved, due in part to her chastity belt.
