* The MISAKA network from ''Anime/ToAruMajutsuNoIndex''

* There seems to be a rare male expy in the anime adaptation of the yaoi manga ''SensitivePornograph'' as the submissive character Aki. He has her hair, dark reddish brown eyes and even has his arm and right eye bandaged similarly by the end of it.

** {{Not quite human}}, such as a [[CloningBlues clone]], an [[HumanAlien alien]] or a [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot robot]], and her odd behavior is attributed to the fact that she is only [[HughMann imitating natural human behavior (and failing at it)]].

* Vanilla H from ''GalaxyAngel'' controls nanomachines by suppressing her emotions.

* The Character Kos Mos in the {{Xenosaga}} Series is a female [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue haired]], red eyed [[EmotionlessGirl Emotionless]] Robot which becomes more humane/defrosting. [[spoiler:Like Rei, she and her successor Model "T-Elos" have got something to do with the plan of the antagonist/government organisation.]]

* Mytho from ''{{Princess Tutu}}'' is another male example. Duck spends much of the first season working to restore his emotions.

Center: [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei]].-] ]]

* Kanade from ''AngelBeats''.

* I'd say Lala-Ru from NowAndThenHereAndThere. While her [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow eyes are as blue as her hair,]] she's still the StoicWoobie, initially cold and distant, and eventually being warmer and more open. [[spoiler: She even restored the oceans to the world]]

* Sen Yarizui, "the Ice Witch", from ''Anime/{{Ben-To}}''.

* Inverted with Serph from ''DigitalDevilSaga'': an initially [[DefrostingIceQueen completely emotionless]] pale-skinned [[WhiteHairedPrettyBoy gray-haired]] [[HeroicMime almost totally silent]] [[InvertedTrope male lead]] who's [[spoiler: [[ArtificialHuman a digital clone]] of [[CloningBlues a sociopath who nearly destroyed the entire world]]]], and is completely devoted to [[InvertedTrope female love-interest]] [[MysteriousWaif Sera.]]

* The Character Kos Mos the ''Xenosaga'' Series is a female [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue haired]], red eyed [[EmotionlessGirl Emotionless]] Robot which becomes more humane/defrosting.

* Rei Ayanami from NeonGenesisEvangelion, being the TropeNamer, likely deserves a bit of elaboration: Beginning the series, she is NERV's only active Evangelion pilot before Shinji, who was only recruited because Rei had been [[IllGirl heavily injured during a test run]] of her assigned Evangelion, unit 00. throughout the series it is implied that Rei is something of a surrogate daughter of Shinji's father, Gendo, but the truth is somewhat stranger: [[spoiler:Rei is actually a [[ReplacementGoldfish partial clone]] of Gendo's dead wife and Shinji's mother, Yui, with the addition of DNA from Lilith, one of the gigantic "angels" who NERV is supposed to fight against. Gendo planned to use Rei as a key part of [[AssimilationPlot Instrumentality]], in hopes of reuniting with his wife. Also, [[CloningBlues there are several hundred Reis]], and Gendo is entirely willing to sacrifice the current one and defrost the next if he feels its necessary.]] Its implied that her emotional distance comes not from being unable to feel emotions, but rather that [[NoSocialSkills even though she feels emotions just as strongly as other humans, her isolated upbringing means she does not know how to express them]].

* Kanade from ''AngelBeats''
* Yin from ''DarkerThanBlack''
* Lain from SerialExperimentsLain fits everything here, except she has brown hair

* Noël from ''SoraNoWoto''

* Tabitha from ''ZeroNoTsukaima''

* Minami Iwasaki from ''{{Lucky Star}}''

* Mai from ''{{Nichijou}}'' has demeanor but she's TheGadfly personfied.
