5	->''"I cry in the morning, I cry at night. I cry, cry, cry when I get a fright. I cry for my bottle, I cry for my doll. I cry-y-y, 'til they hear me call."''
6	-->-- '''Rocky''', ''Series/SesameStreet''
7
8	Some characters look like they're always ready to cry. In fact, they probably are and burst into tears on a regular basis. Sometimes, they will [[TryingNotToCry try to keep their emotions inside]], but ultimately fail. One small incident and they are crying. It is possible for anything to cause them to cry, but it is most often a harsh insult directed at them.
9
10	There may be a few reasons for this behavior. They might just be super sensitive and emotional by nature. There might have been [[DarkAndTroubledPast something in their past]] such as emotional abuse from peers or some other form of BreakTheCutie that caused them to be this way. {{Jerkass}} characters such as TheBully will most likely try to make them cry, in which case the character may eventually force themselves to become desensitized towards insults.
11
12	In a FourTemperamentEnsemble, this person is melancholic. Very, '''very''' melancholic.
13
14	This can go several ways; making the audience sympathetic, comedic exaggeration of realistic people, or triggering a sense of protectiveness. A DramaQueen tries to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] sympathy but often ends up creating {{Wangst}}. Comedic examples are often the ButtMonkey, as they are easy and amusing to abuse. {{Moe}} characters, such as the "Sad Girl In Snow", often prompt [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer feelings of protectiveness]] both InUniverse and [[IntendedAudienceReaction in audiences]].
15
16	[[MenDontCry Most often female]], though it can also be male (and is usually PlayedForLaughs if so). With male examples, [[DoubleStandard this tends to be a sign of]] [[MenDontCry weakness]], [[ManChild immaturity]], or [[{{Keet}} femininity]], although it may also occur with an EmotionalBruiser who is prone to ManlyTears.
17
18	May overlap with ShrinkingViolet, a character who is shy and insecure, or AnnoyinglyRepetitiveChild if they're a kid and they annoy others by crying multiple times in a row. Compare CuteClumsyGirl, a similar character whose "flaw" is played for cuteness. Contrast HairTriggerTemper which is about characters being prone to anger. Compare CantTakeCriticism if the character is sensitive to criticism. See also TheEeyore, BrokenBird, and NervousWreck.

21	!!Examples:
22
23	[[foldercontrol]]
24
25	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
26	* Mihashi from ''Manga/BigWindup'' acts like this due to the bullying he received while in middle school.
27	-->'''Abe:''' And stop sniveling, it looks like I'm bullying you.
28	* Enju Aihara from ''Literature/BlackBullet'' is a sweet, [[NiceGirl kind-hearted]] 10-year-old girl and a cursed child who, [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer despite being treated like trash for being born with the Gastrea virus in her body like most cursed children]], [[ThePollyanna always maintains a]] [[CheerfulChild sunny disposition]]. Despite this, one flaw of her character is she's a very sensitive person who is [[TenderTears prone to breaking down in tears easily]]. [[spoiler:It's highly implied that if Enju were to find out that she'll eventually die or turn into a Gastrea monster, this would be enough [[BreakTheCutie to completely break her forever]].]] This mainly applies to her character in the anime and manga adaptations; the original light novels portray Enju more as an emotionally independent young girl who's WiseBeyondTheirYears.
29	* Shiemi from ''Manga/BlueExorcist''. [[{{Reconstruction}} Reconstructed]] as it's more to do with how empathic she is and she quickly toughens up and gets [[TookALevelInBadass badass]], to the point her connection with plants is of a GreenThumb nature that lets her ''[[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp]]'' her enemies.
30	* ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'': Sakura is quite sensitive and often tends to get upset rather easily. Given that she's TheCutie, this normally isn't PlayedForLaughs.
31	* Kaoruko in ''Manga/ComicGirls'' is very sensitive and prone to negative thoughts (suicidal ones included). It has been pointed out being "too emotionally fragile" is the main barrier preventing her from becoming a successful SequentialArtist. She frequently cries in this series, on the magnitude of [[OnceAnEpisode Once a Chapter]].
32	* ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'':
33	** There's Zenitsu, and oh boy does he ever. It is mostly used in a comedic way to either show Zenitsu reacting to being rejected by a girl, or his crushing fear of fighting demons despite being a professional demon slayer himself. However, there are a few memorable times where his tears were used for dramatic effect.
34	** There's also the main protagnist, Tanjiro, who is a rare noncomical male example. He is quite emotionally open and cries quite frequently. In nearly all cases, Tanjiro's [[TenderTears tears]] are used to convey his genuinely kind-hearted and emotionally intelligent nature.
35	* ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'' and ''Anime/DevilmanCrybaby'' has one of the most famous male examples: before becoming Devilman, Akira Fudo was prone to bursting into tears at the slightest provocation. It is stated, however, that he only cries for others because he is so empathetic, and it is this compassion that allows him to resist the demon Amon's influence and retain his humanity after being merged with him. [[spoiler:Near the end of the story, after Miki's murder, Akira states that he has no more tears to shed. Not long after, Ryo Asuka[=/=]Satan kills him in battle, the main source of his power lost with Miki's death.]]
36	* A male example: Tommy from ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'' starts off as a shy, easily frightened crybaby who really wants to go home after being taken to the Digital World. He thankfully grows out of this later on.
37	* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': Gohan was very much a crybaby during the early Saiyan Saga, though this is justified since he's only four years old at that point. He ends up crying so much that the [[EnemyMine still-evil Piccolo]] eventually gets sick of it and [[QuitYourWhining threatens to snap his neck]] if he doesn't stop. It isn't until Piccolo's HeroicSacrifice the following year that Gohan would stop being crybaby and matures very quickly after that.
38	* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': EmotionalBruiser Alex Armstrong is frequently moved to ManlyTears of joy and other emotions.
39	* In the manga series ''Fluffy Fluffy Cinnamoroll'' from {{Creator/Sanrio}} Cinnamoroll's friend Mocha has a habit of bursting into tears and bawling when something goes really wrong for her, she's even described as a crybaby in the book. It doesn't help that she's pretty [[ButtMonkey unlucky either]].
40	* Kazuma Mamizuka from ''Manga/GakuenBabysitters'' is constantly teary-eyed and can be prone to crying at the drop of a hat, though this can be justified since he's only a toddler. This is [[PolarOppositeTwins in stark contrast to his twin brother Takuma]], who's an outgoing PerpetualSmiler.
41	* Aya Hoshino in ''Manga/{{Gals}}'' cries almost every time she talks to Otohata, to the point where Ran assumes (in Volume 6) that "Her entire head must be full of tears...!"
42	* Mikuru in ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'' takes this to satirical lengths, easily bursting into tears whenever Haruhi harasses her or [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl forces her into cosplay outfits]], which is often. Probably part of the reason Haruhi picked her for the club, as she was intentionally trying to invoke {{Moe}}.
43	* Rare male example from ''Anime/HeatGuyJ'' in the form of Clair Leonelli, when he was young. (Probably because as OverlordJr, he [[FriendlessBackground didn't have any friends]] to play with, and [[AbusiveParents his dad was abusing him]].) This endears him to then-12-year-old Giovanni, who [[DeclarationOfProtection promises to protect him forever]].
44	* Bocchi Hitori from ''Manga/HitoribocchiNoOOSeikatsu'' tends to cry a lot, whether when she feels like she did something wrong or feels stressed out due to anxiety--and due to her [[ShrinkingViolet severe social anxiety]], she's [[NoSocialSkills rather inexperienced in socializing]].
45	* Miki Koishikawa from ''Manga/MarmaladeBoy''. Despite doing her best to be a normal girl, she has very low self-esteem issues and rarely goes three episodes straight without shedding tears. She has legitimate reasons, like opposing her parent's plan to divorce and re-marry, and being too stressed to choose which boy she likes, but then some moments can get ridiculous, such as realizing that she doesn't know anything about the boy she likes despite [[FlirtyStepsiblings living with him]], and then being too paranoid and [[ClingyJealousGirl jealous]] when she doesn't see him on Valentine's Day until later that night.
46	* Kira Yamato, protagonist of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED''. Not only does he cry frequently, several characters refer to him as a crybaby. It gets to the point where: a) Kira himself swears not to cry again, [[spoiler:b) he's told it's fine and good to cry by AllLovingHero Lacus Clyne, and c) the spirit of his dead girlfriend Flay gently tells him at the end he doesn't have to cry anymore, because she'll truly protect him]]. He takes it to the other extreme in the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny sequel]] by not crying ''once''.
47	* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':
48	** Izuku Midoriya can and will start crying, oftentimes [[OcularGushers violently]], due to any and every emotion. [[ItRunsInTheFamily He gets it from his mother.]]
49	** "Ordinary Woman", the giant mutant civilian, appears to be this as she cries in both chapters where she plays a major role -- the first time from being on the violent end of FantasticRacism, and the other being TearsOfJoy [[spoiler:when reuiniting with Izuku outside U.A]]. She's even depicted as tearing up in her vol. 32 colored illustration.
50	* Shinji from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' could be considered a rare ''serious'' male example. While he may not fit into the [[TestosteronePoisoning American standards of male attractiveness]], he is stated to be attractive in-universe, and, thanks to deeply-rooted self-esteem issues and having the pleasure of witnessing his mother turn to goo at an early age, he's rather insecure, delicate, and all too easy to upset with just a few words, particularly in the prologue arc, where he rarely made it through an episode without a SparklingStreamOfTears.
51	* Princess Shirahoshi from ''Manga/OnePiece'' doesn't just ''look'' like she would burst into tears from something trivial like being awakened from a nap -- she actually does. She would also cry if someone yells at her, as Luffy was the first person to do so, because no one ever yelled at her before. She has an excuse though, having watched her mother die and then forced to spend 10 years locked up in a tower due to death threats in the form of giant flying axes that can home in on her. She gets a little better after making some friends, though.
52	* ''Anime/PrettyCure'':
53	** ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'' gives us a rare villainous example in Regine, who seems to be in a perpetual state of about-to-cry when in her civilian form. She's very soft-spoken, and when repeatedly asked to repeat what she said because they couldn't hear her, she'll suddenly yell and cause everyone in the room to jump. All of these traits melt away whenever she assumes her true form, however.
54	** Yayoi in ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure'' is described in the first episode as a crybaby whose tears start flowing with even the smallest nudge. She's also seen crying when she uses her Cure powers during the opening.
55	* Usagi from ''Anime/SailorMoon''. Whether it's dramatic or PlayedForLaughs, she's very sensitive and it doesn't take much to make her cry, especially in the first season. Her daughter from the future, Chibi-Usa had her teary moments too, particularly in the Black Moon arc.
56	* Anya Forger from ''Manga/SpyXFamily'' is a six-year-old girl, and as a result she frequently bursts into tears when she's overwhelmed by something.
57	* ''Anime/SteinsGate'': Ruka Urushibara is a fairly standard -- albeit male -- example who appears ready to cry all the time, and it becomes even more prevalent after [[spoiler:he becomes a she via D-Mail, and Okabe insists that she's a boy]], driving Ruka to tears every time it comes up. Of course, [[spoiler:if your crush started (unintentionally) calling you the opposite gender, insisting you're an IncompatibleOrientation all the time,]] it would be somewhat upsetting.
58	* Fumi from ''Manga/SweetBlueFlowers'', a trait that stuck with her since childhood.
59	-->'''Akira:''' You're always so quick to cry, Fumi.
60	* In ''Anime/{{Tamagotchi}}'', Memetchi is this to the extreme, as she is very prone to tearing up, especially in The Power Of Gossip. Chamametchi as well to lesser degree cries quite a bit too.
61	* Chihiro in ''Anime/{{Tamayura}}''. What makes it particularly cute is that she's actually crying out of ''compassion'' for her friend Fuu (the protagonist) whose father died some time ago. Chihiro starts crying whenever she ''thinks'' she ''might'' have said something that reminded Fuu of her late father, even after Fuu actually starts to get over her father's death.
62	* Takemichi from ''Manga/TokyoRevengers'' is a very emotional guy and whether he's sad or overflowing with passion, he's liable to bursting into tears. It reaches the point that Akkun even refers to him as "Crybaby Hero."
63	* Reiko Osumi from ''Manga/TheUnforgivingFlowersBlossomInTheDeadOfNight'' cries TenderTears [[PerpetualSmiler even while smiling]], befitting her {{Pollyanna}} nature, and is as gentle as can be, which unfortunately makes [[ButtMonkey the poor girl]] an easy target for all the [[KidsAreCruel bullies]] around her. [[spoiler:The usual gentle personality associated with this trope, however, is subverted as it's [[BitchInSheepsClothing a cover]]; she is, in actuality, TheCorrupter, AlphaBitch, and BigBad of the series -- [[WoundedGazelleGambit her tears]] are TheCorruption turning kids into bullies.]]
64	* ''Literature/VioletEvergarden'' has the titular Violet. While she's initially very stoic due being unable to express her emotions properly, as she goes through CharacterDevelopment she becomes very prone to tearing up, particularly in the anime adaptation where she cries a ''lot''. Especially in the last half of the first season, to the point that it's practically a OnceAnEpisode occurence.
65	* Shuuichi Nitori from ''Manga/WanderingSon''. In early volumes, she tends to cry a lot, but with age and CharacterDevelopment she has gotten past that stage. She still lets things go to her head but doesn't cry as easily as she did in early chapters.
66	* Young Kayoko Nakane in ''Anime/WhosLeftBehindKayokosDiary'' is both this and a CheerfulChild in equal measure. Her family are aware of this and actively encourage her to be stronger when her new baby brother is on the way.
67	* Sumire in ''Manga/YoureMyPet'' is outwardly a [[SugarAndIcePersonality Sugar and Ice Girl]], but she is often seen hiding in the bathroom, crying.
68	* Yugi Mutou of ''Manga/YuGiOh'' is prone to crying if his loved ones (e.g.: his grandfather and closest friends) are in peril.
69	[[/folder]]
70
71	[[folder:Asian Animation]]
72	* In ''Animation/HappyHeroes'', a lot of the Supermen, both within and outside of the main team, represent a personality trait. Sad S., as indicated by her name, represents sadness and has a tendency to cry a lot, even weaponizing her OcularGushers in battle.
73	* In ''Animation/ToobaToobaNoonbory'', [=PinkAru=] is liable to burst into OcularGushers over anything, even something as small as a flower wilting (because she picked it).
74	[[/folder]]
75
76	[[folder:Comic Books]]
77	* Tailgate of ''ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' is panicky and tearful, often shown bursting into tears despite not having eyes and most other characters not shedding tears at all. InUniverse, it's meant to be his optics sparking with light, explaining how he can leave a trail of tears the length of an entire hallway behind him.
78	[[/folder]]
79
80	[[folder:Fan Works]]
81	* ''Fanfic/CheatingDeathThoseThatLived'': [[TeenGenius Crimson Flanders]] spends most of her time crying after winning the 29th Hunger Games. Very few people know the story behind this, namely that she is the first victim of the victor SexSlave system.
82	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/LincolnsMemories'': Lola cried more than Lana as a baby.
83	* ''Fanfic/PastSins'': Chapter 2 has Rarity's evaulation of Nyx as a sensitive pony, which is probably due to having basically no memories, so she hasn't developed emotional endurance:
84	--> “Secondly,” Rarity continued, not even registering Twilight’s interruption, “Be very, and I do mean very, careful what you say around her. I’ve found out the hard way that Nyx is a very sensitive pony. I accidentally said something in passing that made her think you hated her, and she was absolutely heartbroken. In fact, I dare say she is actually ''worse'' than our dear Fluttershy.”
85	[[/folder]]
86
87	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
88	* ''WesternAnimation/Cars1'' and ''WesternAnimation/Cars2'': Mater gets very upset over every little thing. He's a very sensitive person and there were signs that he got upset in the first film but he showed more emotions in the second film. He literally got very depressed after [=McQueen=] fired him from being a pit crew chief and felt guilty about and decided to go home. When others make Mater cry or upset, it's considered an extreme act of cruelty because he is super sweet and he has special needs. He's like a child. He's a very caring helpful person whose purpose in life is to serve others out of kindness and love and to see him upset about any little thing is just extremely devastating. Even though we are supposed to laugh with Mater, he is definitely a person who is emotional enough to not be PlayedForLaughs.
89	* ''WesternAnimation/Elemental2023'': Wade and his family, being water-based people, are extremely prone to crying, even playing a game to see who can hear a sad story and go the longest without crying. [[spoiler: Near the end, when it seems like Wade had [[DisneyDeath evaporated]], Ember discovers that he'd condensated onto the ceiling, so she and her family [[ChekhovsGun play the game]] to get him to cry himself down into a bucket and reform.]]
90	* Luisa Madrigal from ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'' cries often, especially when she loses her powers.
91	* ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'': Sadness, due to being an AnthropomorphicPersonification of depressive feeling. For her, it seems like the best thing to do is just lie on the floor and have a good cry:
92	-->'''Sadness:''' Crying helps me slow down and obsess over the weight of life's problems.
93	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986'': The Grundles burst into tears whenever Grundleland is so much as named, as any reminder of how much they miss their lost homeland will open the floodgates. Their king has become extremely careful not actually bring Grundleland in conversation as a result.
94	* SissyVillain Prince John from Disney's ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973''. He's a whiny and over-emotional {{Manchild}} who constantly sucks his thumb and cries very easily.
95	* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Mei cries half a dozen times just in the first half hour of the film.
96	[[/folder]]
97
98	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
99	* Sarah Packard from ''Film/TheHustler1961'', who has been rejected and scorned so many times that she needs to [[DrowningMySorrows drown her sorrows]] to get through the day. Needless to say, she's prone to this trope whether drunk or sober.
100	* Marquis from ''Film/TheLegendOfFrenchieKing'' cries easily. This is played for irony as he's subservient to very masculine women.
101	* During the second half of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', the [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness usually optimistic and resilient]] Padmé Amidala becomes a lot more emotionally fragile and prone to breaking down in tears. This is justified, both because her pregnancy is making her more sensitive and because she's stuck in a ''[[FromBadToWorse really]]'' [[FromBadToWorse dire situation]], such as an ominous premonition that she'll die in childbirth hanging over her, her husband sneaking around doing shady things for the Chancellor, the Chancellor being revealed as a Sith Lord who is actively taking over the galaxy, the Jedi being framed and exterminated, and finding out her husband has turned to the Dark Side, among other things.
102	* Officer Arnaud is this way throughout ''Film/ThunderRoad''. It's justified, though, given that his mother just passed and he's fighting to share custody of his daughter.
103	* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': Roger Rabbit is quite an emotional fellow, which is best demonstrated when his wife Jessica supposedly cheats on him with Marvin Acme and when Eddie tells him about his tragic backstory in which his brother got killed by a toon. Despite his generally cartoonish behavior, he is nonetheless another male example that isn't PlayedForLaughs.
104	* ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'': The Tin Man is ironically portrayed as this, despite lacking a heart. He's constantly in danger of rusting due to how much he cries.
105	* ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': Past Charles Xavier's psychological health is so poor that the slightest thing can upset him, and he's regularly seen with wet, reddened eyes or tears streaming down his face.
106	[[/folder]]
107
108	[[folder:Literature]]
109	* Mary Anne Spier, secretary of ''Literature/TheBabySittersClub'', is described as being so sensitive she'll cry at long-distance telephone commercials.
110	* ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'''s Jacuzzi Splot (the series' primary source of man-{{moe}}) is a ShrinkingViolet who's prone to crying at the slightest misstep outside of his comfort zone. This, surprisingly enough, ''doesn't'' stop him from being a [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass crazily heroic badass]] when the cards are down.
111	* Daniel from ''Literature/BothCanBeTrue'' cries over everything from awkward situations at school to dog food commercials. His mom tells him he needs to grow out of it, which only makes him feel more like crying.
112	* Petra bint Minden in ''Literature/{{Caliphate}}'' is a shy and emotionally vulnerable girl that is easily spooked and cries a lot. Considering she was raised as a second-class citizen in a Taliban-like state due to being a female Christian and [[BreakTheCutie what happens to her over the course of the story]], she has plenty of valid reasons to.
113	* In Creator/ZilphaKeatleySnyder's ''Literature/TheChangeling1970'', it is abundantly clear early on that fearful, shy, clumsy Martha Abbott cannot fit in with the rest of her Perfect Suburban Family and has ''no way to make them take her seriously''. She's treated almost like a pet (she's even called "Mouse"), and her only defense, indeed her only means of self-expression, is to cry. The author herself admitted later she didn't realize a lot of the subtleties she was creating with this book.
114	* ''Literature/ElsieDinsmore'': The titular Elsie cries at least once per chapter, whether it's because she didn't follow Biblical scripture or her family is [[FelonyMisdemeanor yelling at her over every tiny mistake she makes.]] Many readers really don't like her because of this.
115	* ''Literature/FireAndBlood:'' Daella Targaryen, third daughter of Jaehaerys I and Queen Alysanne, was prone to crying uncontrollably at the slightest provocation (or even no provocation at all) even into her teenage years. Part of the difficulty in finding someone to marry her off to was picking a man who wouldn't get her going again.
116	* Beth Ellen Hanson of ''Literature/HarrietTheSpy'' is described as "Always look[ing] like she might cry". In a subversion, Harriet writes that this just makes her want to kick her and get it over with. In Beth Ellen's own book, ''The Long Secret'', we learn that Beth Ellen cries in private because her grandmother has taught her that's what a ProperLady does. But she has a crying fit during a sleepover after her RichBitch mother returns -- and Harriet gently takes her hand and holds it until she's through.
117	* In ''Literature/TheIndianInTheCupboard'' and its sequels, the cowboy Boone is so prone to tears that the other cowboys in his own time period call him [[EmbarrassingNickname "Boo-hoo."]] Yet [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness ironically]], in the second book, he manages to be calm and stoic [[spoiler: while [[MercyKill mercy killing]] his mortally wounded horse.]]
118	* Enid Blyton's ''Literature/MaloryTowers'' school stories feature Mary-Lou, who is this trope to a T. She gets a lot better.
119	* Little Miss Shy of Literature/MrMen fame is such a ShrinkingViolet that if anyone upsets her, she'll burst into tears. Notable examples are in the TV episode "Mr. Impossible's Lesson" [[note]] In which she broke down in tears after [[RichBitch Mr. Uppity]] yelled at her. [[/note]] and in Little Miss Magic's story [[note]] Where she wept about being tickled by Mr. Tickle. [[/note]]
120	** Little Miss Tiny is the runner up behind Little Miss Shy as the biggest crybaby in Misterland. She cries over being lonely, being trapped in Mr. Mean's house, about rain dropping on her (In the book of the 90s cartoon episode "An Unforgettable Sunday for Little Miss Tiny"), when Mr. Rude insults her, when an ogre steals her lollipop, when she falls and hurts herself (In the Sanrio version of Little Miss Hug's story), when her thimble goes missing and when Christmas is nearly ruined by Mr. Grumpy resulting in everybody else being upset.
121	* Kiara from ''Literature/{{Rogue}}'' gets upset very easily. At school she used to cry almost every day from being teased and ostracized, earning her the nickname [[EmbarrassingNickname Crybaby Kiara]].
122	* ''Literature/RoysBedoys'': Not usually, but in “Stop Crying, Roys Bedoys!”, Roys temporarily becomes prone to tears when he cries at every minor insult.
123	* Daylen Namaran in ''Literature/ShadowOfTheConqueror'' is a male example played seriously, largely because of [[TearsOfRemorse his endless guilt]], though there's also an element of immaturity to it, as he's a self-admitted PsychopathicManchild. If he cried any ''more'' often, everyone would be sailing across an endless ''ocean'' instead of [[WorldInTheSky an endless sky]], and the chance of showers increases exponentially when [[MiseryTrigger Lyrah]] is nearby or on his mind, sometimes to the point of putting him into an AngstComa. In keeping with the [[WorldOfHam intense nature of the story]], all of this is PlayedForDrama.
124	* Kellen is a male example from the ''Literature/SpellslingerSeries'' who cries when [[TearsOfFear he's afraid]] (which is often), cries when [[TearsOfJoy he's happy]], and cries after every battle or near death experience because of the adrenaline rush. A couple characters give him guff over this, but otherwise it is presented in a sympathetic light.
125	* Every single darn character in ''Literature/TheTaleOfGenji'', male or female. The Shining Prince himself is incredibly lachrymose. Of course [[ValuesDissonance this was considered an attractive characteristic in Heian Japan]].
126	* In ''Literature/ThoseThatWake'''s sequel, Rose is this, mainly stemming from childhood trauma.
127	[[/folder]]
128
129	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
130	* ''Series/TheBradyBunch'': Marcia is by far the biggest crybaby of the Brady siblings. She cries when she doesn't get to go on a family ski trip, gets kicked out of a play, is rejected by a potential date to a school dance (and then several years later, after another date rejects ''her''), is treated rudely by her siblings while reading her campaign speech for student body president, when she wilts under pressure during her driving test, when she has to wear braces... she just has frail nerves. As an adult, Marcia wells up when she is unable to find work as an adult and after realizing she's humiliated her family at a ribbon-cutting for one of Mike's office complex projects.
131	-->From the episode ''Brace Yourself'':\
132	'''Marcia:''' I'm so happy, [[TearsOfJoy I could cry!]]\
133	'''Mike:''' [[DeadpanSnarker What, again?]]
134	* ''Series/{{Cheers}}'': Rebecca, post-{{Flanderization}}, becomes liable to start crying any time she brings up a story from her youth. At one point, she starts tearing up even as she vows not to. All this gets is a deadpan remark from Norm that she almost broke her record for not crying.
135	* ''Series/TheCloser'': Despite being a tough ActionGirl, our heroine is always one blink away from tearing up.
136	* ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'': Josh tends to get super emotional pretty easily. Whether it's [[ItMakesSenseInContext having his Kindergarten diploma smashed]], missing out on his chemistry exam, accidentally running over [[Series/TheOprahWinfreyShow Oprah]], or losing a baby he's supposed to be babysitting. It's often PlayedForLaughs, though.
137	-->'''Josh:''' Wait! I hear crying! ''Oh, it's just me!''
138	* ''Series/LittleHouseOnThePrairie'': Virtually every one of the Ingalls, especially Charles(!) and Laura, who often cried at the drop of a hat. Except for possibly Nels Olesen and his son, Willie, most of the other people of Walnut Grove were more than willing to share their feelings, from big, hulking men like Jonathan Garvey and the uncouth Mr. Edwards to the spoiled tantrums of Harriet Olesen and her daughters, Nellie (in her spoiled, wild years) and especially Nancy. This ironically is vastly different from the books, where despite numerous hardships the Ingalls were incredibly stoic and discouraged showing emotions or complaining when they were struggling.
139	* Guinevere in ''Series/{{Merlin\|2008}}'', mainly because the writers do a lot of horrible things to her, {{lampshade\|Hanging}}d by [[Creator/AngelCoulby the actress herself]]: "they like making me cry." Of course, she's also a perfect example of SilkHidingSteel: expect her to cry whilst simultaneously demonstrating great strength of character.
140	* In one episode of ''Series/TheMonkees'' Mike describes Peter as "Kinda sensitive. Cries at card tricks." As the group's [[ActualPacifist pacifist]], this is his way of losing his temper.
141	* ''Series/{{Oz}}'' provides a non-comedic ([[DownerEnding REALLY non-comedic]]) male example in one-shot character Guillaume Tarrant. He's an [[FelonyMisdemeanor art vandal]] who has the incredible misfortune of being locked up in a maximum-security prison with the show's standard roster of killers and rapists. He's in tears at the harassment he suffers from other inmates on his first day, and repeatedly thereafter. Things... do not improve for him.
142	* ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''
143	** In the episode "The Understudy," Jerry's [[GirlOfTheWeek girlfriend]] cries at almost anything from dropping a hot dog to her untied shoelace. However, she [[AngstWhatAngst doesn't cry when her grandmother dies]].
144	** Both George and Elaine regularly bust into tears whenever something upsets them. One example with the former, George drives himself to tears when he tries to take the nickname "T-Bone" back from a coworker who was given the same nickname, while with the latter, Elaine is banned from a nail salon [[ComicalOverreacting and actually wanders the streets at night in the rain bawling her eyes out about it]].
145	* On ''Series/{{Succession}}'', the [[TheEeyore morose, depressive]] Kendall Roy has crying fits in the premiere and finale of Season 1, and spends the next season either weeping or looking like he's a blink away from tearing up.
146	* Tess in Creator/TheBBC's 2008 adaptation of ''Literature/TessOfTheDUrbervilles'', as played by Gemma Arterton.
147	* A TakeOurWordForIt male example in ''Series/{{Wings}}'', when Helen dates a man who cries when she mentions her dead dog; she becomes disillusioned when she realizes he cries at everything. "We went to a Marx Brothers film and he was crying because Harpo couldn't talk."

150	[[folder:Music]]
151	* "Cry Baby" by Music/MelanieMartinez:
152	-->''You seem to replace your brain with your heart\
153	You take things so hard and then you fall apart\
154	You try to explain but before you can start,\
155	Those cry baby tears come out of the dark''
156	* Music/TearsForFears: In "I Believe", the narrator's emotional vulnerability is expressed by how easily he cries.
157	-->''And I believe that if I'm crying while I write these words\
158	Is it absurd, or am I being real?\
159	I believe that if you knew just what these tears were for\
160	They would just pour like every drop of rain''
161	[[/folder]]
162
163	[[folder:Video Games]]
164	* ''VideoGame/EXTRAPOWERAttackOfDarkforce'': Rurine is very quick to cry, an aspect of her own immaturity and the pressure of being the new Blue Hikari Warrior Ruritia -- she blames herself for Shimoun going missing and Kallion being left in a coma after their last battle with the Yami Clan. In true MagicalGirl fashion, she eventually matures into her role and as a person by the end of the game with the support of her comrades-in-arms and friends.
165	* Neimi of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'' is pegged as a crybaby right from the start. Being childhood friends with [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Colm]] doesn't help much. [[spoiler:Amusingly subverted in their final support conversation, where he hears her howling and asks why, rattling off a long list of reasons. Neimi tells him she's in a good mood and just had something in her eye this time, much to his consternation.]]
166	%%* Vanille in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII''.
167	* ''VideoGame/JustShapesAndBeats'': The cube friend appears to always have a SingleTear running down their face, even when they're smiling. [[spoiler:In [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight "Close To Me"]], they cry tears made out of pink stuff as their first and last attack]].
168	* Evanine in the ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' mod Tales of Arterra.
169	* Tiger I from ''VideoGame/{{Panzermadels}}'', especially when it comes to the time when she ran over Erwin. We find out earlier that it's because she "breaks down a lot" which is a design flaw.
170	* Dan Hibiki of ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' is a [[PlayedForLaughs comical]] example. He's real [[LargeHam dramatic]] in general (to go with his [[BoisterousWeakling hot-blooded loser]] persona), but he'll get emotional over something as minor as a sparring match with his dojo students.
171	* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': Luigi is a sensitive guy and is especially exemplified as such in the ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'' games where he'll often burst into OcularGushers whenever he's scared or upset.
172	* Ganryu from the ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' series is a rare male example, but it's usually PlayedForLaughs. Examples include when he cries after defeating Jinpachi in ''Tekken 5,'' and also is the only male to cry in his lose pose when paired up with Jaycee.
173	** Josie Rizal is probably an even better example. She cries in her intro/outro poses, and being a crybaby is pretty much a large part of her character. She does show moments of confidence and being upbeat, though.
174	* Gokotai from ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'', who almost constantly sounds like he's about to cry. Ironically, this doesn't change after his Kiwame training, despite [[TookALevelInBadass Taking A Level In Badass]] — the first thing he says when he returns is a tearful apology for "only" defeating Uesugi Kenshin three times instead of five.
175	* According to one of his less-effectual titles in ''VideoGame/YggdraUnison'', Nessiah, despite his status as the local MagnificentBastard, cries very easily when hurt or frustrated. If the player's performance is substandard, this happens often enough that his enemies start to mock him for being childish, and his subordinates have to devote a lot of time to taking care of him. As Nessiah's social skills are strange at best, he never really becomes cognizant of the burden he's putting on them.
176	[[/folder]]
177
178	[[folder:Visual Novels]]
179	* Yoriko in ''VisualNovel/DaCapo'' at first has great trouble interacting with people and, of course, always seems close to tears. Oddly enough, having ''rocks'' thrown at her apparently didn't bother her in the slightest.
180	* ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'':
181	** Nagisa is a delicate ShrinkingViolet who can get disappointed or distressed at the drop of a hat. Usually it's when she feels guilty or something goes wrong. She has such a fragile body that it makes her all the more sympathetic.
182	** Sanae, the mother of Nagisa, is another example. She always bursts into tears when anyone (namely her husband) talks smack over the subpar bread she makes. This is usually PlayedForLaughs, but becomes serious in ''~After Story~'' after [[spoiler:Nagisa's death]].
183	** Kotomi is more or less exempt from Tomoya's normal [[TheGadfly teasing]] due to her reaction of starting to tear up and ask if someone is a bully when feeling at all threatened. Naturally, learning to deal with Kyou takes her a little while.
184	* ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'' has [[ShrinkingViolet Mikan]] [[TheMedic Tsumiki]], who is so timid and insecure she can barely hold a conversation without bursting into tears or having a meltdown. This is PlayedForDrama, as Mikan has been so heavily bullied throughout her life that she instantly suspects anyone she talks to wants to abuse her and will willingly degrade herself so someone will pay her attention, even if it's negative. [[spoiler:[[BewareTheQuietOnes This makes it all the more shocking when]] [[BitchInSheepsClothing she's the killer of Chapter Three]], and a double-murderer who's [[{{Yandere}} in love with]] [[BigBad Monokuma/Junko]] at that.]]
185	* ''VisualNovel/HerTearsWereMyLight'': When Space is alone in the darkness, she cries, and her tears become stars that light up the darkness and make her feel less lonely. She cries TearsOfJoy when Time shows up, and is even able to cry on command to demonstrate her star-making ability to Time.
186	* ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'': The [[spoiler:fourth]] alter of Uendo Toneido (who has Dissociative Identity Disorder) is [[spoiler:Own, a five-year-old boy]] who seemingly can't go a full minute without crying. [[spoiler:This is a surprise (and a spoiler) because he's initially believed to be the killer in the case. In fact, he's the only actual ''witness'' to the murder.]]
187	[[/folder]]
188
189	[[folder:Web Animation]]
190	* Basically Onion's whole gimmick in the ''WebAnimation/ChallengeToWin'' series. Being an [[OnionTears onion]], this is a given.
191	* While Toothy from ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' is mostly TheEveryman with few distinct traits aside from his unluckiness, he's also best known for his tendency to cry.
192	* ''WebAnimation/MoniRobo'': [[https://youtu.be/uVuuNy5jGdc Ryohei]] is a weak-spirited guy who always looked like he was holding back tears, which his wife Ichiko found cute until she discovered he had an affair and divorced him.
193	* Tari from ''WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'' is a [[ShrinkingViolet shy]] girl who tends to cry more than the other characters.
194	** Melony is another example, [[spoiler:especially in the video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEWR3NtcneY War Of The Fat Italians 2021]]" where she [[BreaktheCutie loses it]] and is feeling [[TearsOfRemorse guilty in tears]] to kill Axol in order to stop [[BigBad Zero]].]]
195	* [=YouTube=] animator WebAnimation/{{Wolfychu}} (who also voices Melony) is quite an emotional lady herself and tends to shed a few tears whenever she's sad, scared, or happy. But more often than not, she's prone to crying when happy, as shown in the descriptions of some of her videos and a few of her comments on other videos.
196	* Animator Adenike Folorunso (also known as [=CuteNikeChan=] on social media), is prone to crying a lot, mostly when she's happy, and this is often shown in the descriptions of her profiles and other posts, which feature emoticons indicating tears of joy.
197	[[/folder]]
198
199	[[folder:Webcomics]]
200	* ''Webcomic/AlienbyComics'': A justified example in [[https://www.instagram.com/p/Czl6Sxox3cl/ "Progress Report"]] - as a result of HRT increasing their hormone level, Riri reports that they've been crying a lot more but now it's easier to process their emotions.
201	* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', Jadesprite bursts into tears at the drop of the hat, and is constantly lamenting the bad things that happened to her. This greatly annoys Jade, who's embarrassed that an alternate version of her could be like that.
202	* While ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'''s Ash [[DownplayedTrope isn't a particularly impressive example of the trope]], one of the things he most resents about the GenderSwap is the increased hormones making him more prone to emotional outbursts, usually taking the form of tears of frustration/anger. Never PlayedForLaughs.
203	* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': While it has yet to be actually shown on-panel, there is plenty of evidence towards Onni being this. He's implied to have spent the better part of a trip crying, and a scene has a character guessing he's about to burst into tears. Onni also has a BrutalHonesty prone cousin who, when someone else randomly wonders what Onni could be currently doing, answers "crying".
204	* PlayedForLaughs in ''{{Webcomic/Whomp}}'', as Ronnie will burst into tears at the smallest conflict, including [[RuleOfThree three times]] [[http://www.whompcomic.com/comic/within-earshock in a single conversation]].
205	* In ''WebComic/YokokasQuest'', Kalliv cries a lot, sometimes OcularGushers.
206	* ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'': Poor Mad Mabel. She manages to survive in the Subfusc despite being a normal surrounded by mysterious and magical creatures, but she is the subject of mockery and even cruelty from others (including Sandra, though she stops halfway), and got pressured by Incubus to do his bidding [[spoiler:(and when that fails, he kidnaps her)]]. She seems lost and slightly depressed, despite trying to keep a smile on her face, and nearly cried when Sandra took her thimble away from her.
207	[[/folder]]
208
209	[[folder:Web Originals]]
210	* Believe it or not, there are ''lots'' of female users (and some male users) on Website/DeviantArt, Creator/{{Discord}}, Website/{{Reddit}}, Website/{{Tumblr}}, Website/TwitterX, Website/YouTube, and other social media sites who are prone to crying a lot, no matter what they are feeling or something terrible that happens on them, and this is often evidenced by them leaving some kind of crying emoticon or emoji (especially the frequently-used Loudly Crying emoji) in their posts or comments.
211
212	[[/folder]]
213
214	[[folder:Western Animation]]
215	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Alphablocks}}'': W cries whenever he gets hurt or feels sad about other things. He has water at the top of his head, and makes a "wuh-wuh-waaa!" sound when he cries.
216	* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'':
217	** Darwin is such a sensitive NiceGuy that it can be rather heart-wrenching to see him get sent into tears. Fortunately, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Gumball]] is always there for him.
218	** Gumball himself, though not as much as Darwin, can also get easily upset whenever things go wrong for him, particularly in the first season.
219	** Richard, the father of Gumball, Darwin, and Anais. Compared to [[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy his more headstrong wife]], he is quite sentimental, timid, and childlike.
220	* ''WesternAnimation/TheBrothersFlub'': Fraz cries whenever he's stressed or sad.
221	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'': The eponymous character and his baby sister are infamous for crying at the drop of a hat. [[http://caillou.wikia.com/wiki/Crying_Clips The wiki even has a list of the number of times they cried.]]
222	* The ''WesternAnimation/CBBears'' segment ''Posse Impossible'' has Blubber, a cowboy who cries in just about every situation. It doesn't stop him from saving the day, though.
223	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'': Chowder is often to cry, even when he is upset by the reason. He cries alot by using his LOUD Vocals making it annoying but Heartbreaking. Also Truffles who does this like Chowder, she even cries as well to burst to tears which she cries "[[OcularGushers Waterfall tears]]" on her eyes due wearing glasses for her eyes...
224	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'': Stacy Rowe collapses in tears over the slightest thing. Luckily, she starts to grow out of it in the fifth season, and in one episode her reputation as this even works to her ''advantage'' when she's trying to trick an audience.
225	* ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperheroGirls2019'': Barbara Gordon cries easily than some of the other characters.
226	* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': PlayedForLaughs with Jimmy. He's quite sensitive, which clashes with his headstrong and protective friend Sarah.
227	* ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'': Flapjack, the sailor and main character is also the cutest and adventurer boy, But he cries in some episodes when he is emotional, he even bursts into tears after Captain K'nuckles who tries to eat his candy.
228	* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'': Eduardo cries whenever he gets danger or feels bad about other things.
229	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Bender, [[LackOfEmpathy while almost totally unconcerned for the feelings of others]], is ''highly'' sensitive himself and will go into TenderTears or InelegantBlubbering at the drop of a hat.
230	-->'''Bender:''' I mean, being a robot's great, but we don't have emotions, [[TinMan and sometimes that makes me very sad]]. ''[sniffling]''\
231	'''Farnsworth:''' Oh, lordy lou, there he goes again. Well, let's give baby what he wants.
232	* Weepy William of ''WesternAnimation/HorridHenry'' is another great example, as he is always seen crying.
233	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': [[EmotionalBruiser Eugly]] the rabbit. She will burst into tears (with OcularGushers) at the slightest insult. Sadly, the rest of the cast don't care, and they're always being mean to her.
234	* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': Good luck finding an episode that gives Luanne a decent amount of screentime when she ''doesn't'' bawl her eyes out at some point. The quickest way to start the waterworks is to tell her she's being an idiot (which Hank doesn't always seem to remember).
235	* ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'': Penny Ling is shy and prone to tearing up.
236	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': Several characters have a tendency to cry at the drop of a hat:
237	** Lori Loud is the firstborn of the Loud children, but she has a tendency to dissolve into InelegantBlubbering when she's lonely, or when she's simply had a bad day.
238	** Lily Loud is a CheerfulChild, but there are times when she gets upset and cries. She can even make herself [[CrocodileTears cry on command]]. Justified in her case, as she is a baby.
239	** Lynn Loud Sr., the father of the Loud children, is a male example that isn't always played for laughs. As a matter of fact, it is implied that this trope runs in the family, as his father Leonard is just as prone to tears as he is, and it is implied that Lori got this trait from Lynn Sr. in turn.
240	** Bobby Santiago, Lori's boyfriend, is a KindheartedSimpleton, and thus is also a male example that isn't always played for laughs.
241	** Tía Frida also cries easily, often bordering on OcularGushers.
242	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Madeline}}'': Just about ''anyone'' is prone to crying on this show.
243	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Fluttershy started out as one. Note that, however, she is [[CharacterDevelopment growing]] out of this big aspect of her, as [[GrewASpine she has become noticeably more assertive in Season 2 and on]]. There was, in fact, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E19PuttingYourHoofDown a whole episode]] based on it and, while it hasn't gotten as extreme as the events in it, she has repeatedly shown herself able to break out of this attitude in emergencies.
244	* ''WesternAnimation/NatureCat'': Despite being enthusiastic and determined, Nature Cat is also very emotional, in which he cries a lot. Such examples include whenever he begins to lose hope, or lose something he loves, he will most likely cry at the drop of a hat. [[note]] Or whenever he's having some happy moments, well... he's just sweet. [[/note]] His best friend Hal also tends to cry many times due to him being very sensitive, yet he's also very kind and innocent. In both cases, their friends stick up to them and help them resolve their problems.
245	* ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'': Downplayed with Rubble. While he isn't overly emotional, he's the most likely to cry of the pups, particularly over cute animals being endangered.
246	* ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig'':
247	** The titular character's little brother George is a male example of this trope, which is justified because he's a toddler, and crying is one way toddlers communicate. Whenever he cries, [[OcularGushers his tears shoot out of his eyes like a water pistol]]. Same thing goes for Richard, Edmund, Zuzu, Zaza, and Baby Alexander.
248	** [[https://peppapig.fandom.com/wiki/Crying Here's a list of the instances where someone cries]]
249	* Softy from ''WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop''. There's no telling what his issue is apart from each member of the Ant Hill Mob having a defined trait.
250	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'': Bubbles is normally this (especially in the first season episode "Octi-Evil") but once in a while, she's not afraid to kick it up a notch.
251	* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' has [[KindheartedSimpleton Pops]], who is another rare male example that isn't always played for laughs. Pops is very sensitive and it doesn't take much to make him cry. When someone does greatly upset him, his friends immediately come to his aid and stick up for him.
252	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'': All of the babies are this to some extent, justified with all of them because they are babies.
253	** Tommy Pickles may be a fearless, adventurous, cheerful and happy-go-lucky leader, but there are a lot of episodes where he cries, and it is heavily justified as he is a baby
254	** His best friend Chuckie Finster also cries a lot due to him being very shy and sensitive, though not to Tommy's extent.
255	** Angelica Pickles cries a lot, mostly when things don't go her way.
256	** Susie Carmichael started this way in her first appearance though she grows out of this in later episodes to make her a good {{foil}} towards Angelica.
257	** Dill Pickles, being the youngest, is not above crying, especially when he's upset.
258	** Phil & Lil also often cry, usually with Tommy & Chuckie.
259	* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
260	** Butters Stotch can be rather emotional and sensitive, often getting upset whenever things go wrong for him. With how much crap he always gets put through, however, it's hard to blame him.
261	** Stan Marsh is another example, as he tends to get teary or emotional at the drop of a hat. For the most part, it's played rather seriously and makes him all the more sympathetic.
262	** Mr. Mackey, the counselor at South Park Elementary, can also get quite emotional when he either gets confronted or feels confused.
263	** Clyde Donovan is a great example, because he probably cries more than the other three. This is often played for laughs with how frequently he cries and what he sounds like when he sobs.
264	* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' is a male example of this that isn't always PlayedForLaughs. In fact, making [[NiceGuy SpongeBob]] cry is considered a gross act of cruelty, and whoever is responsible for hurting his feelings almost immediately gets [[WhatTheHellHero scolded]] by whoever happens to witness it, or just feels [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone guilty]]. It really doesn't take very much to make him cry, either, as it got more pronounced in the later seasons, due to {{Flanderization}}.
265	* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
266	** The titular character apparently can't cry [[CentipedesDilemma on command]], but tears up easily:
267	--->'''Steven:''' I guess I'm just too tough to cry.\
268	'''Pearl:''' Just this morning you were crying about snakes.\
269	'''Steven:''' ''[in tears, whimpering]'' They don't have any arms!
270	** Pearl gives Steven a run for his money, with Peridot even calling her out on her "spontaneous singing; crying; singing while crying." (To be fair, [[BrokenBird she has]] [[DarkandTroubledPast some pretty good reasons.]])
271	** Blue Diamond is quite emotionally unstable, unintentionally harmful to those she loves (mainly Yellow Diamond), and extremely self-observed. Grieving certainly only highlighted these features in her, and at this point, the only Gem who could've opened her eyes to it (Yellow) doesn't do so because she's afraid of breaking Blue even further.
272	** Steven's favorite [[ShowWithinAShow TV show]] is ''Crying Breakfast Friends'', which is [[OneJokeFakeShow all about a bunch of anthropomorphic breakfast foods who cry constantly]]. Other characters, particularly Steven's father, [[SelfDeprecation don't see the appeal of a show about characters who cry all the time]].
273	* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'': Percy often tends to get upset rather easily, usually when he gets confused or is given a hard time by the other engines.
274	* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': Sierra also cries in Total drama world tour, and all-stars as well.
275	* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'': Lockette is prone to crying when in trouble and freaks out a lot, especially if Darkar is involved. She manages to grow out of this eventually.
276	* ''WesternAnimation/WordParty'': Lulu the Panda is usually this, especially in Season 1, though she can be hot-blooded and passionate sometimes.
