6* In the DatingSim ''VideoGame/AlwaysRememberMe'', one of the {{love interest}}s is a shy but cute guy who is more comfortable texting than speaking with the protagonist in person. He also blushes quite a bit around her, and is [[spoiler:the secret admirer sending her encouraging emails]].
7* ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' has Noel Vermillion, and she is the definition of this archetype. She is shy, [[CuteClumsyGirl clumsy]], and tends to get worked up over the smallest things. She initially had great difficulty with socializing with other people, only being able to communicate because of Bolverk's ability to suppress emotions. In time, she eventually learned to interact with others, being polite, helpful, yet reserved.
8* ''VideoGame/BlueArchive'' has a couple students who are huge Shrinking Violets:
9** Haruka Igusa is incredibly shy and self-deprecating due to being bullied for most of her childhood, a fate that Aru thankfull saved her from.
10** Yuzu Hanaoka is really shy, to the point where she rarely if ever leaves the clubroom and is way too adept at hiding inside lockers. Justified as she has been the victim of harassment in the past and is terrified of it, although Sensei helps her open up a bit.
11** Tsukuyo Oono is very reclusive and somewhat self-deprecating due to her being teased in her childhood for her [[HugeSchoolgirl unusually tall height]].
12** Miyu Kasumizawa's very reluctant to speak to speak up, having very little self-esteem from years of neglect from a lot of people due to her lack of presence.
13** Hiyori Tsuchinaga's timid nature and tendency to [[ProneToTears cry over everything]] make her stand out compared to the Stoics Saori, Atsuko, and Misaki.
14* ''VideoGame/BravelyDefault'' has the ninja Konoe Kikyo, who became a disguise artist because she's [[TheQuietOne too shy to say a word normally]]. When disguised, however, she turns into a MotorMouth.
15* ''VideoGame/ClubPenguin'':
16** Gary has shades of this. If a crowd of people gather around him during the moments he's a meetable character or when the room he's in is full, he goes to another room or hides behind something.
17** White [[VirtualPet puffles]] are described by the Puffle Catalog as being shy, and they're often prone to blushing.
18%%* The main girl Tsugumi Obinata from ''Doki Doki Survival: Sanroku no Mystic'', a DatingSim based on ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'', is a Shrinking Violet ''and'' a CuteClumsyGirl, and it's speculated that she's an {{Expy}} of the canon ShrinkingViolet from the story, Sakuno. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample; in what way is she a Shrinking Violet? Referring to other works is meaningless if the reader isn't familiar with it.)
19%%* Mr. Lopez from ''VideoGame/Fallout3''. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
20* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
21** The remake of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'' has [[BrainyBrunette Arc]], who is initially seen being bullied by children who appear to be ''younger'' than him and generally being quiet and withdrawn. He [[CharacterDevelopment grows more confident]] over the course of the journey.
22** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'':
23*** Cloud Strife in ''Final Fantasy VII VideoGame/CrisisCore'', as a gawky teenager with no self-esteem and one friend. The final scene shows him starting the story of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' -- under the fake persona of a [[TallDarkAndSnarky glamorous, arrogant, abrasive]], badass ProfessionalKiller who is always at the center of attention and doesn't ''need'' friends.
24*** Tifa Lockhart is a mild example. She can be very shy in regards to her feelings, usually when it comes to Cloud.
25** Vivi Ornitier from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'' is tremendously shy and withdrawn, and it's hard for him to connect with others.
26** Hope Esthiem from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII''. Early on in the game, he's very cowardly until Vanille helps him come out of his shell. Come ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2'', he has become a charismatic leader.
27* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' has a few:
28** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'':
29*** The Mage Tine, due to years of abuse and seeing her [[GenkiGirl genki mother]] Tailtiu [[BreakTheCutie completely broken]] [[spoiler:[[KillTheCutie and later dead]]]] due to it.
30*** Azelle is fairly shy around most, and outright terrified of his brother.
31** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'':
32*** The Pegasus Knight Florina, since [[DoesNotLikeMen she's very scared of males]] (though she [[CharacterDevelopment grows out]] of this and can marry a very brash HotBlooded guy [or become the HeterosexualLifePartner of her ActionGirl best friend]).
33*** [[MysteriousWaif Ninian]], due to her [[BreakTheCutie traumatic past and guilt issues]].
34** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'':
35*** The Manakete Myrrh. She's been sheltered and revered as a living goddess in Caer Pelyn her whole life, and leaving home brings her quite the misfortune until she's rescued by Ephraim.
36*** It is heavily implied that the BigBad Lyon never had any friends because of his shy nature, and that the Renais twins are his only friends. Uniquely, overlaps with PurpleIsPowerful. He is ''the'' strongest mage in Magvel universe, bar none, yet his personality is still insecure, timid, and shy.
37** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'': Nephenee, though it's more because she's embarrassed about her strong country accent and unsure of how to talk to nobles.
38** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'':
39*** Olivia, a rare case of a dancer with performance anxiety. She sports an almost perpetual LuminescentBlush because of her general shyness. It's lampshaded with her title in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue during the ending credits: [[ShapedLikeItself Shrinking Violet]].
40*** Inigo also has shades of this trope, though he normally covers it up well enough unless [[spoiler:someone catches him dancing]]. His supports with Olivia reveal that he was much more timid as a child, and when he asked her for advice on how to talk to people, she said that the best way for a man to become braver was to talk to a woman. Inigo then [[ChivalrousPervert took that advice a little too far]].
41** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', Princess Sakura of Hoshido stands out as being this trope because she can't even speak without stuttering. It is also implied that it runs in the family. Her older sister Hinoka flat-out says that she was like Sakura in her support with her, and several of Sakura's older brother Takumi's other supports and other characters' dialogues imply that he ''was'' this too. His ''current'' personality when the game takes place, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold however]]...
42** From ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', there are two characters who deconstruct this trope, as both characters have heavy psychological burdens that make them act this way and it isn't played up for cuteness:
43*** [[NervousWreck Bernadetta]] von Varley is an archer who shuts herself in her room during the player's free time when they're not teaching a class or attending a seminar. There is a reason why she's like this: Her father attempted to make her the perfect wife by tying her up on a chair and leave her there, demanding she stay silent. He even discouraged her from making friends with anyone and once beat a commoner boy almost to death when he tried to befriend her. Part of her CharacterDevelopment is to overcome this, and her epilogue with Byleth if married has her [[TookALevelInBadass Take a Level in Badass]] by traveling with him to help fight against Those Who Slither In The Dark.
44*** [[TheEeyore Marianne]] von Edmund, who is so shy that members of her house comment that they've barely ever heard her speak. She's far more comfortable around animals than people and is usually found praying alone in the Cathedral. The reason for Marianne's shyness and withdrawn nature is that [[spoiler:she is the bearer of the Crest of the Beast, which is said to bring misfortune to the Crest-bearer and anyone nearby. She stays away from everyone because she believes that she will bring them suffering if she interacts with them, and it's implied that her birth parents either abandoned her when her Crest manifested or were killed at some point.]] She is also heavily implied to have depression, as she is withdrawn, clumsy, and feels like a burden to everyone, and she even admits in her A-support with Byleth that pre-timeskip she used to pray to the Goddess to "take her away" before meeting him and the other students and deciding that she had something to live for.
45%%*** Astrid, a sheltered noblewoman who, though she wants to prove herself, fits this quite perfectly. She even looks like [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Hinata]]. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample; in what way does she fit this quite perfectly?)
46%%* ''VideoGame/FreddiFish'': The Shy Octopi from Water Worries and Laren the jug musician in Freddi Fish 5.
47* Shizuka Hirose, the main chick from ''Gakuensai no Oujisama'', though this depends ''heavily'' on [[MultipleEndings which male she's shipped with]]: she's more shy to some guys, but more open to others.
48* Arisu Kusunoki in ''VideoGame/GrimoireShiritsuGrimoireMahouGakuen'' is one of the more extreme examples of the trope. One of the resident {{Token Mini Moe}}s, she's a [[ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue-Haired]] LonelyDollGirl. In fact, she can barely even speak and has to rely on her [[LivingToys magical doll]] to do the talking most of the time. She is so bad at it that even the subtitles somehow manage to make it harder to understand what she is trying to say. [[BreakTheCutie Tragically]], one of the very few instances you get to hear her talk normally is an AlternateTimeline BadFuture where she's become a BrokenBird and what she's saying is a borderline MadnessMantra. On a more positive note, she starts to open up once she meets the main character, who also helps her make friends, but she still has a very hard time speaking. Fortunately, she seems able to text just fine.
49* Richard P. Nelson in ''Growing Up'' is a shy boy who likes playing music by himself and speaks with a stutter. He also gets nervous when he forgets to return the PlayerCharacter's parents' Dino World tape, and is afraid of trying out for the school choir. He doesn't like being pushed around too much and prefers making electronica music in the background rather than standing in front of an audience.
50* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonBackToNature'': Cliff is extremely shy and stutters around, having difficulty talking with most people. Part of his development involves working through his shyness.
51%%** Gray. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
52%%** Mary.
53%%** ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonAWonderfulLife'':
54%%*** Marlin.
55%%*** Celia.
56%%** Candace from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility''.
57* Yukiho Hagiwara from ''VideoGame/TheIdolMaster'' is very shy and easily embarrassed, and also very ProneToTears. She wants to be an idol so she can overcome this.
58%%** Chihaya Kisaragi is very much like this, overlapping a bit with SugarAndIcePersonality. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
59* Lily from ''VideoGame/{{Kindergarten|2017}}'' is shy, depressed, insecure, and often the target of being picked on by AlphaBitch Cindy. She becomes less depressed at the very least in ''VideoGame/Kindergarten2'', following [[spoiler:the rescue of her missing brother Billy]].
60%%* Naminé in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'' and ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2''. Less so in her final appearance, ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII''. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
61* In ''VideoGame/KingOfTheCastle'' the candidates for the King's ArrangedMarriage in "Eligible Options" sometimes include a shy noble who, if chosen, will blush every time anyone looks at them during the wedding festivities and, when they are alone with their royal partner, can only stammer "Um... Hello." [[spoiler:They can eventually emerge from their shell if the King offers them the time and space to do so rather than forcing the issue.]]
62* The Fairy prince Edgar from the ''VideoGame/KingsQuest'' series. Justified by the fact he's spent most of his life being "raised" by the cruel and vicious Lolotte, and was [[spoiler:transformed into]] a deformed, ugly, green-skinned hunchback. He can barely make eye contact with Rosella without blushing. He's developed a bit more of a spine in [[VideoGame/KingsQuestVIIThePrincelessBride his second appearance]], but he's still very shy and quiet.
63* Zaalbar from ''VideoGame/KnightsOftheOldRepublic''. He's an adolescent Wookiee, [[TheBigGuy which means he's two meters and change of fur and muscle]], [[BigEater backed up with a perpetually empty stomach]], but he's ''painfully'' shy and afraid to speak up for himself, saying he's not much good for anything other than scaring someone or bashing a door in. Even your notoriously charismatic PlayerCharacter can barely manage to get a word out of him. He's more than happy to let his pal Mission do the talking.
64* Paya from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' gets embarrassed and shy incredibly easily for many reasons. For example, Link standing too close (or within ten feet of her), Link not wearing a shirt, being asked about the birthmark she was named after, the list goes on. It slightly goes away, in that she stops getting embarrassed at some of Link's more benign questions, after [[spoiler:Link spends the day protecting her from the Yiga clan after they steal the Shrine Orb out of her and Impa's house]], though she will still get flustered at the above instances.
65* Shyler the Pizza Troll from ''VideoGame/LogicalJourneyOfTheZoombinis''. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
66* Mami Koda from ''VideoGame/LostJudgment''. She's quiet, reserved, and very soft-spoken, likely as a result of constantly being bullied by her peers.
67* Mia Ausa from ''VideoGame/LunarTheSilverStar''. Her upbringing in the magic city of Vane was very sheltered, making her awkward around people she doesn't know.
68* The ''Franchise/MassEffect'' franchise:
69** Bless Liara's heart! In ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'', she has an adorable "I just want to help" personality.
70** Tali'Zorah [[spoiler:vas Normandy]] in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', who is shocked (and later grateful) that Commander Shepard would be [[ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe willing to return the feelings she's harbored for him since the first game]]. However, while she does act quite reserved in her romance, she isn't generally shy and is capable of having a conversation without stuttering or getting nervous.
71* ''VideoGame/{{Mother}}'':
72** ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'' has a village of small creatures who are too shy to talk to the player, or even to each other.
73** Lucas from ''VideoGame/Mother3'' is a very shy kid, [[CharacterDevelopment but he eventually has to step up]].
74%%* ''VideoGame/PapaLouieArcade'': Mayor Mallow. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
75* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
76** ''VideoGame/Persona2'''s main character Tatsuya Suou is a rare male example. While he gives an air of stoicism and aloofness, it is all as a result of crippling shyness and social awkwardness, and he is in general someone who needs a ''lot'' of personal space. [[spoiler:It is revealed that he used to be more openly sociable in the past, but after the whole Alaya Shrine incident which left him with deep emotional trauma, he was rendered severely stunted in terms of interpersonal relationships.]]
77** ''VideoGame/Persona3'':
78*** There's Fuuka Yamagishi, the team's resident MissionControl, who has a school reputation for being frail, shy, and easily bullied. She's actually much more resilient and headstrong than her reputation suggests, but when Junpei "CasanovaWannabe" Iori points out how developed she looks in a swimsuit, she can only manage a panicked, inarticulate squeak and quickly hides behind the other female party members in embarrassment.
79*** Possibly topping Fuuka is "Justice" social link NPC Chihiro Fushimi, the painfully shy student council treasurer who can't speak to any male character about anything at all without stammering. Completing her social link {{sidequest}} helps her get better, and reveals that she's also a (very mild) Type B {{tsundere}}. By ''Persona 4'', she's overcome her shyness enough to become StudentCouncilPresident.
80*** A third, surprising, example is Akihiko Sanada. The team's SpiritedCompetitor and school boxing champion, most of the time he's an AloofBigBrother sort that most of the girls in the school [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys would love to date]]... at least, until he actually tries to impress a girl, and falls into a nervous stammer. A character video late in the game shows him reading books in his room on how to talk to girls and trying, and failing, to rehearse a conversation without getting flustered. This is probably best exemplified by talking to him in Tartarus when playing as a female protagonist in a romance with him. Up to this point, Akihiko has consistently shown the ability to filter out distractions while fighting, even when emotions are running high. But when the female player merely ''speaks'' to him then, he's reduced to this: "Wh... What? Oh... sorry... I'm... kind of nervous... ...Don't look at me too much."
81** ''VideoGame/Persona4'':
82*** At the start of the story, Yukiko Amagi is highly revered among her classmates and many people of Inaba for her beauty and status, but is uncomfortable whenever someone compliments her looks and doesn't think very highly of herself, feeling worthless. She depends on her childhood best friend Chie Satonaka to stick up for her and fend unwanted guys off who pressure her into going out with them to such an extent that it becomes a crutch. As the game progresses and Yukiko obtains her Persona, she begins to gain the strength and self-confidence she needs to stand up for herself more.
83*** Ayane Matsunaga is very prone to shutting herself off and letting others step all over her, so the point of her S-Link is helping her grow out of this.
84** ''VideoGame/Persona5'':
85*** Futaba Sakura, the Phantom Thieves' MissionControl, is this. While she isn't a social skills butterfly to begin with, her mother being killed out of spite by [[spoiler:Shido in one of his many KickTheDog moments for the sole reason of seizing her research, who then scapegoated Futaba for her mother's death, just made things worse]].
86*** In ''Royal'', we get a ''very'' literal case of this trope. Kasumi Yoshizawa is an elegant, friendly, and cheerful gymnast that got a scholarship at Shujin for her near-perfect gymnast performances. Sounds nothing, right? Aside from the fact that [[spoiler:this ''isn't'' Kasumi Yoshizawa]], it's [[spoiler:actually her depressed and inferior sister Sumire Yoshizawa, and "Sumire" Japanese for violet flowers]]. Having [[spoiler:Kasumi help her for most of her life and accomplishing top gymnastic performance after top gymnastic performance while she could only be just above average at the sport resulted in her having zero self-esteem and self-confidence, as she believed that if she weren't Kasumi, she should probably just die. This eventually led to a traffic accident where she only survived when Kasumi took her place to be hit by traffic and died instead, which only furthered her suicidal depression even more, forcing her father to push her to Maruki, and she requested him to turn her into a copy of Kasumi to artificially boost her nonexistent self-confidence and ego.]]
87* ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies2ItsAboutTime'' has a ''literal example''. The Shrinking Violet is a violet that [[ShrinkRay shrinks all zombies around it]]. Its Almanac entry subverts this, however -- she ''used to be'' this trope until she learned of her talent of zombie-shrinking powers.
88* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
89** There's Jasmine, the Gym Leader of Olivine City in ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'', to the point where her gym has no other trainers in it besides herself. She makes a cameo appearance in the fourth generation games and proves to be just as timid as ever. All the more jarring when her Steelix kicks your ass.
90** ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'' has Marley, who only speaks just enough to get the point across.
91** Cilan from ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite''. Compared to his [[AmbiguouslyGay anime counterpart]], the Cilan in the game comes off as very shy and having almost no confidence in his ability. His tendency to stutter before, during, and after the battle with him doesn't help his case. When you compare his personality to his brothers [[HotBlooded Chili]] and [[DeadpanSnarker Cress]], it's very jarring.
92** In ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'', Battle Chatelaine Evelyn fits this trope to a T, up to the point that she stutters in her speech.
93** ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' has Allister, who rarely makes public appearances, and hides behind a mask when around other people.
94* In ''VideoGame/PotionPermit'', Dev is a shy, quiet postman who ApologizesALot whenever his boisterous [[SplitPersonality alter]] Dan causes accidents.
95* Lidelle from ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' is ridiculously shy and timid, to the point that her story in ''[[VideoGame/PuyoPuyo20thAnniversary 20th Anniversary]]'' is about her struggling to voice her thoughts to others properly and trying to overcome her shyness.
96* ''VideoGame/RealityMinds'': Silvana spent most of her life too shy to talk to anyone outside of her family and Kvena. Kvena notes that this makes it so that Silvana will cling more to the few people she's comfortable with, [[spoiler:which why Silvana doesn't suspect Kvena's treachery until it's too late]].
97* Era from ''Roots of Pacha'' is shyer than her parents, Nari and Zelk. Nari tries to help Era break out of her shell, but the former thinks she's making it worse. Era slowly opens up to the protagonist as they bond, however.
98* Satura from ''VideoGame/{{Runbow}}'' turns out to be this in the DLC mission. She may have ultimately become friends with the Hues and Vals after her defeat in the normal adventure mode, but she still feels shy and lacks confidence around them due to her being born without color, preferring to sit by herself in The Last Luau and draw in her sketchbook. It's only after she gets convinced to join the others on a trip to the new Outta This World poster that showed up that she starts to get over it.
99* Shizumaru Hisame from ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' is very sweet natured, if a little melancholic.
100* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
101** Despite her being quite a tough girl, Blaze the Cat does have her moments of this, especially around the more bubbly Amy Rose, ever-so-cheerful Cream, cocky Sonic, or even [[VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames Peach and Daisy]]. She's an outcast due to her fire powers, which took a dent on her social skills. This leads to her becoming increasingly anxious as Cream attempts to befriend her. [[ColorMotif And she's purple, to boot!]]
102** When around girls, Knuckles can qualify for a male version of this, especially when taking quotes like this into account:
103--->'''Rouge:''' Still, you were pretty dashing and daring this time around.\
104'''Knuckles:''' Huh? You really think so? I mean, I don't think I was really all that, um... [[MoodWhiplash Hey! Where's the detector?!]]\
105'''Rouge:''' Nothing ever changes with you does it? Anyway, thanks for the Master Emerald!\
106'''Knuckles:''' Wait! Wait you... You bat thief! Get back here!
107* Annie from ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'' is a shy and fidgety shop owner. Luckily she has a loud, JerkAss partner in Moe.
108* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
109** Shy Guys are the kings of this trope, considering they cover their faces with masks and wear robes that cover their entire bodies.
110** The Boos, who will stalk and haunt Mario as he attempts to go about his adventures, preparing to rip him apart with their razor-sharp fangs.... but can't do it if he's looking at them.
111* ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'':
112** [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Princess Shakti Kareen]] speaks to Tiffa and concludes that [[BreakTheCutie she went through so much shit in her life before being adopted by the Vultures]] that she developed a powerful phobia of people.
113** Despinis, one of the Homunculus of Duminuss in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsReversal'', fits this trope to a T. Even when attacking, there's not a chance she'll not slip up the phrase "I'm sorry". All with the face of a half-sick, super-shy paedophile bait. On the bright side, she does have a kind streak, which proves to be beneficial in that [[spoiler:in OG Gaiden, instead of dying like in her original role in R, she ends up surviving.]]
114* ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'':
115** Emil from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld'' fits this trope squarely. It probably doesn't help that everyone else in his hometown, his own aunt and uncle included, believe that he's a worthless scum who'd be better off dead. [[spoiler:Emil also subverts this trope in Ratatosk Mode, where he becomes a very blunt JerkWithAHeartOfGold, and the exact opposite of the "normal" Emil.]]
116** Elise from ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia''. It's a result of the people in her town treating her like a freak because of her abnormal proficiency with magic for her age, on top of seldom being let out of her home by her caretaker for safety reasons.
117* ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial'':
118** Mio Kisaragi is a DelicateAndSickly {{Meganekko}}.
119** Megumi Mikihara is very sheltered and naive.
120** Miharu Tatebayashi is [[CuteClumsyGirl clumsy]] and awkward.
121* Taurus Mask from ''VideoGame/TokyoAfterschoolSummoners''. While he has his mask on, he is a LargeHam professional wrestler that always screams his lines. But when he is seen without his mask and as his true self, Daisuke Ikusaba, he is incredibly nervous, barely able to hold conversations, and constantly trying to find his mask to gain the confidence to speak.
122* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'':
123** Nitori Kawashiro from the game ''VideoGame/TouhouFuujinrokuMountainOfFaith''. Her first reaction to the player character? To run away. However, under that shyness [[BitchInSheepsClothing is a greedy jerk]], as revealed in the later games.
124** Kisume from ''VideoGame/TouhouChireidenSubterraneanAnimism'' hides in a bucket out of shyness. She is so shy that most of the time, she often outright refuses to show her face to people. The implication is that the head that peeks up from the bucket ''[[OffWithHisHead is not hers]]''... And, yes, in case you're wondering; her being an AxCrazy ShrinkingViolet ''is'' canon.
125* Lammy from ''VideoGame/UmJammerLammy'' is a very shy, insecure girl. She appears utterly uncomfortable with talking to people with whom she isn't already acquainted, and she becomes stricken with anxiety when put on the spot or made the center of attention. Further evidence toward this comes in [[spoiler:when she flashes back to her and her band making the poster for their upcoming gig, specifically saying, "My picture doesn't have to stand out"]]. [[HiddenDepths However, when she has her guitar, either with her or]] [[MagicFeather in her mind...]]
126%%* Despite there being nobody around her[[note]][[ParanoiaFuel Or is there?]][[/note]], Leta of ''VideoGame/WireLips'' exhibits this behavior. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample; in what way does she exhibit it?)
127* ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'':
128** Oka Ruto, the Occult Club president. Her default walk cycle has her hunched over and trying to take up as little space as possible, and she speaks in a halting, hesitating manner. Her student info also notes her shyness.
129** Ayano "Yandere-chan" Aishi ''[[BitchInSheepsClothing acts]]'' like this if she gets too close to Senpai (in fact, she switches to the same walk cycle as Oka). The hand-wringing can be something of an inconvenience, as she drops whatever she was holding (like, say, a bloody knife).

Top
