* Rin from ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' has no arms, so she's learned to do most things with her feet. Her introduction scene shows her eating a meal with her feet holding the fork, and she's later shown painting with them (and occasionally using her mouth to hold the brush instead). She is also permitted to wear trousers rather than the typical girls' uniform skirt, since a skirt would cause issues with her using her feet like that.
