The Stoic [[NotSoStoic sometimes displays emotion]] when under extreme stress or in other highly emotional situations, but their usual repertoire consists of mild boredom, detached interest, DullSurprise or dignified disdain. He may be a DeadpanSnarker, or have NoSenseOfHumor. If he ever shows true emotion, it's likely to be explosive in its intensity or incredibly subtle. The tougher sort of stoic may hide it so thoroughly that only his {{Past Experience Nightmare}}s show any of it. Curiously, a Stoic can sometimes visually express emotion through a [[StepfordSmiler smile or frown]]. But don't be deceived, for [[BeneathTheMask underneath]] they will very much be lacking the true intention of these feelings, which isn't always a [[ThinkHappyThoughts bad thing]]. Opposed to FrozenFace, where the emotions appear absent because they do not alter his expression, even in highly emotional situations. A few stoics might calmly pipe up that [[DidYouThinkICantFeel they have feelings and opinions too]], they just aren't effusive about it.

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/55707106 Time Capsule]]'', Shinjiro comments that the most emotion he's seen from [[VideoGame/Persona3 Makoto]] was a gasp of pain when Mitsuru threw away one hundred thousand yen. None of the magic or monsters they've seen elicited such a strong response.

The silent warrior has roots stretching back to TheDrifter in Westerns and farther back. [[TropeMaker The]] [[UsefulNotes/{{Stoicism}} Stoics]] in [[OlderThanFeudalism ancient Greece]] were philosophers who believed that self-control is the highest virtue, and detachment from strong emotions and passion would give them greater insight in their quest for truth. They also thought that emotional reactions to the [[YouCantFightFate inevitable]] were silly; given that WeAllDieSomeday, what is grieving over death but a judgment that the inevitable was somehow ''wrong''? Stoics would later be criticized for [[TheFatalist fatalism]] and [[ApatheticCitizens apathy]]. Examples of these tend to be TheSpock.

* ''Fanfic/AlienSpeciesCrossoverReturnToLV426'': Pike, owing to his life as an AW ([[Artificialhuman Artificial Womb]] soldier). Even after attempts are made to make him a more well-rounded human being, he remains extremely difficult, if not impossible, for people to read unless they know him well. His facial expressions are minor-verging-on-nonexistent, he does not speak often, and tends to stick to terse statements when he does. (This is all based on the characterizations presented in ''Film/{{Soldier}}'', from which the Artificial Womb Soldier Program detailed in ''TabletopGame/AlienTheRoleplayingGame'' derives substantial inspiration.)
