Won't somebody explain why emotionless girls are so damn HOT?

Would L and Near from Death Note count as male examples?

Does R. Dorothy really fit? She clearly has a very sarcastic sense of humor ("you're a louse, Roger Smith.")

{{Ununnilium}}: Ruri's the same way. They're both really more the DeadpanSnarker.

//R. Dorothy doesn't fit, because as the series goes on, we see that she's the TinMan instead. Though arguably the audience doesn't see this at first.

LooneyToons: Agreed. How is entry this any different from TheSpock and TinMan?

Sunder the Gold: Or from TallDarkAndBishoujo, in Sakaki's case? Also, how the heck does Hyuga Hinata qualify as an Emotionless Girl? The girl is visibly, pitifully emotional. She doesn't keep a deadpan look like the other girls here, she cringes in fear and worry.

{{Lale}}: I originally added this paragraph: "Not necessarily also a fan of pure logic and reason like TheSpock, or as compassionate under the skin as the TinMan" to show how the EmotionlessGirl is different from these characters. Someone added a comma after "Not necessarily", changing the meaning to the opposite -- that a lot of Emotionless Girls ''are'' like these characters, which would make the trope redundant. Which is correct?

DrowLord: Without the comma, definitely. On that note, took [[MahouSenseiNegima Yue]] off the list. I haven't actually seen most of the anime (either one), but unless she's vastly different from the manga, she's definitely not emotionless (though in her backstory she ''was'', at one point). On the other hand, she's easily DeadpanLoli.

SeanTucker: Since Rei is apparently the TropeMaker here, anyone mind changing the picture to one of her?
----
Lurker: Does Riza Hawkeye from ''FullMetalAlchemist'' count? There are a couple of occasions (once in the anime and once in the manga) when she totally loses her shit, but that's because she thinks Roy has been killed, and you're supposed to be struck by the fact that ''now'' she's upset. The rest of the time, she never cracks a smile or gets flustered or anything, she's completely deadpan. She didn't even cry at [[spoiler:Hughes' funeral]].

Taelor: I'd say Hawkeye is more of a {{Kuudere}}, as she ''does'' have emotions, she just tries her very best to not let anyone see them.
----
{{Amplt 0}}: I took out Narbal as an example. He doesn't fit, mostly because he's a man. I also removed the references to Micaiah and the Narbal archetype. Micaiah shows plenty of emotion. I wish whoever keeps throwing in that she's supposedly a CanonSue everywhere Fire Emblem's mentioned would just stop. Removed the Narbal archetype because the only characters belonging to it (to the best of my knowledge) that are emotionless are male. (It's almost universally excepted that Joshua is the Narbal of FE8, not Marisa).

ShayGuy: Something is awry. Rei Ayanami is supposed to be a deconstruction of this, right? So...why can't I identify any anime examples that predate her?

{{Servbot}}: I suspect it's Corollary 5b of TheFirstLawOfTropeExamples in action <<

ShayGuy: If so, this might be the most extreme example yet. Because if my hypothesis is right, then not only is she neither a subversion NOR a deconstruction...she may be the TropeMaker. Maybe even the UrExample (using the ''proper'' meaning).

{{Servbot}}: Looking at the TheOtherWiki, I think ''ElHazard'''s Ifurita may have predated her by a few months, though it probably didn't have any influnce here since Eva's been in production long before then. You might be right about the TropeMaker thing if no one can think of a popular Japanese production that came earlier.

ShayGuy: Especially since the Eva manga started in December, several more months earlier. Any objections to me changing it?

"''I don't have low self-esteem. I have low esteem for everyone else.''"\\
'''Daria Morgendorffer''', ''{{Daria}}''

{{Lale}}: The {{Daria}} quote would be relevant to TheDaria or the LonersAreFreaks fallacy but not to girls who repress their emotions.
----
{{Noaqiyeum}}: Umm, who swapped the picture? I think I know [[SuzumiyaHaruhi who it's supposed to be]], but that's solely based off of TVTropes context. And given that you can't actually see her face at all, you'd ''have'' to rely on already knowing who it is to know whether she's emotionless or not, making that kind of a bad choice for a page image.

{{Smokie}}: I did, and you are right. The old pic wasn't working anymore, so I made a new one. Reverted it to the original pic again.
----
{{LEXicon712}}: Has anybody won that staring contest against Yuki?

{{Tacitus}}: For Halloween or April Fool's or something, someone totally needs to swap that .jpg for a .gif.
----
{{Kilyle}}: Does the princess from ''TheLightPrincess'' (by George [=MacDonald=]?) count? She's not completely emotionless - she laughs at almost everything - but the plot is based around her having no "gravity," both literally and emotionally. She can't find anything serious, can't be sad or lonely or troubled or feel love. And getting her to the point of caring for another person is how the prince manages to free her from her curse. (And if it doesn't fit here, which trope does that go under? Reminds me of [[TheLastUnicorn unicorns who can't love]] and sprites who can't be brought down to earth.)
