Charm Point is defined as "a coveted and well-tended accessory of a character (often a flaw) that makes them attractive or at least interesting to other characters, if only in their own head. This can be anything: a well-groomed mustache, a bizarre body part, a favorite hat, a personality trait, or a bow tie."

The wording of this comes off as odd to me. The term is a form of Wasei-eigo, i.e. "Japanese-language expressions based on English words, or parts of word combinations, that do not exist in standard English or whose meanings differ from the words from which they were derived." I'm not a native Japanese speaker, but from my experience, the term is used more or less the same as asking someone what their "best feature" is, i.e. a physical feature or a personality trait. This is backed up by online dictionaries [1] [2] While it can refer to things that aren't a part of a person, from what I've seen/heard, it's still mostly limited to things that are considered part of one's daily personal appearance, like glasses. A favorite hat/bow-tie might be considered a Charm Point if the character wears them every single day, but those are rather fringe examples all things considered.

Continuing on this interpretation of Charm Points as accessories, the description then describes how the point can be a Magic Feather, something a character thinks helps them be good at something, but this has little to do with the rest of the trope.

I did a wick check and there's a couple of key things. 44 (88%) of the wicks are specifically of a physical or personality trait. Only 3 (6%) were of actual items and 2/3 of those were about glasses specifically. 1 (2%) example only was of the Magic Feather interpretation.

Also relevant, there was a previous TRS thread about Charm Point (that also started off thinking it was solely about accessories and items) in which people questioned the Magic Feather inclusion and whether or not "character's most attractive feature" is even tropeworthy, with one suggestion that it should be limited to In-Universe only. I considered this when doing the wick check and found that there are times when charm points are self-defined (Character A considers their smile to be their Charm Point, regardless of whether or not others agree) and times when others consider some aspect to be another character's Charm Point In-Universe (Everyone considers Character A's long legs to be her most attractive feature). The split of examples were self-defined = 15 (30%) and others defined In-Universe = 20 (40%)

I'm not sure whether or not these two should remain under the same trope or if Charm Point should focus on one vs the other. To me, it feels like the difference between Big-Breast Pride and Buxom Is Better, which are separate tropes currently. Also, a part of me feels like the "other defined" version is covered under other tropes. That said, the term itself is used in both contexts so I can see keeping them together.

• Whether we split this into two tropes or not, I have no strong feelings towards as I think an argument can be made for both.
• Regardless of whether or not we split, I suggest rewriting the description to explicitly limit it to physical/personality traits and items that are basically a part of a character's daily personal appearance like glasses and removing the part about Magic Feather entirely.

Character points out this trait of themselves

• Trustfell Round Six - Aligula, Brutal Honesty: Aligula is insultingly honest to everyone and actually considers it a Charm Point.
• Kiddy GiRL-AND: In one episode Ascoeur points out a small rose on her inner thigh claiming it's her charm point.
  • this is also on Characters.Kiddy Girl And
• Fate/Zero: Humans - Tokiomi: According to supplementary materials, his goatee, which he spends a long time daily carefully grooming.
• Girls of the Wild's - Choi Dal Dal: She is very obsessive about her lips.
  • Also on Girls of the Wild's: Choi Dal Dal is extremely obsessed with her lips and how kissable they apparently are. Or, at least, she was in her introduction- this particular point hasn't come up often since then, instead focusing on her martial arts skill and her cooking.
• Love Live! – μ's: each character has a list of stats like age, birthday, blood type, etc and Charm Point is one of them. Given the work focuses on idols and idols frequently list out what their best features are for marketing purposes, I'm classifying all of them here.
• Majikoi Love Me Seriously Kazama Family - Momoyo: She considers her crossed bangs to be her charm point and gets fidgety if anyone tries to touch them.
• Sakura Gakuin - Yume: Yume said on her very first FRESH appearance in May 2018 that it was her plump cheeks. However, they began to thin out a bit during the COVID lockdown when she went through a major growth spurt.
• Tales of Xillia - Milla, Idiot Hair: Ahem, it's a Charm Point!!!
• Band-Maid, Big Eater: Discussed and shown in at least two music videos with Akane. She loves noodles and has said her Charm Point is her massive appetite.
• Ouran High School Host Club: Mori is an odd case since his Charm Point is another character. When the club tries to instruct a delinquent that a Charm Point can work wonders for one's image, they bluntly point out that without Honey around people would see Mori as just a huge scary thug who barely talks, much to the latter's distress. Because Honey is there, Mori is instead seen as a Gentle Giant. this one can go either way, tbh in terms of whether or not it's a self-defined aspect or one others have imposed on the character
• Interspecies Reviewers, Cyclops: A race of one-eyed people. While for the most part, their body types have the same size and variety as humans, the main difference beyond their single eye is the fact said eye comes in a variety of sizes, starting at the size of normal human eyes and going up to taking up around 90% of their face. Cyclopes apparently consider how big their eye is to be a Charm Point, with how big or small it is being thought of in a similar way to how other species view breasts, including using the term "cup" to refer to size, and girls with human-sized eyes getting an ocular version of A-Cup Angst.
• The Adventure Zone: Balance - Magnus Burnsides: He seems to think this of his facial hair earlier on.
• Pokémon: The Series — Serena - Fennekin: Fennekin takes great pride in her well-groomed tail, becoming uneasy if it is tarnished.
• Free!, Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: During the beginning of Season 2, the gang tries to market their club to the incoming freshmen, but they're not quite sure how to do it. Gou suggests (and implements) the swim team showing off their strokes and their "Charm Points" (re:Fanservice) to get people interested. Which would be fine itself, but with the added bonus of stripping onstage to do the aforementioned actions. It only puts potential hopefuls off, and they turn their attention towards other clubs. In fact they only start getting results after Iwatobi's swim team wins nationals, showing that the team is capable and worth their time. You can't win everyone over with Fanservice.

Others In-Universe consider this another's attractive feature

• Baccano! Anime - Chan: According to Claire, it's the remembrance of the note she left for him, when she killed the White Suits, being a Cute Mute, and how she's an Emotionless Girl that makes Claire fall in love with her even more.
• Dissidia: Final Fantasy – Warriors of Cosmos VII to XI - Zidane, Lampshade Hanging: His in-game profile notes how even his relatively few angst moments attract the ladies:
  "While usually cheerful and waggish, he does have bouts of despair. However, this may be (Charm Point) another part of his charm."
• Contract Sisters - Meguru, Emotionless Girl: Meguru’s face is rather rigid. Kasane considers it her Charm Point, but Mii-chan is disturbed.
• Inu × Boku SS - Ririchiyo, Leg Focus: Nobara sees her long legs as her major Charm Point.
• Paradise Killer - Crimson: Her head is considered quite attractive In-Universe, as the Syndicate have weird standards of beauty. It's the main reason they wanted her as a poster girl.
• Pokémon Sword and Shield - Gordie, Sore Loser: His League Card heavily implies him to be one of these with regards to his habit of shutting himself in the locker room after defeats. Amusingly, (Charm Point) his fans find this more endearing than anything. He actually keeps his composure when losing to the player and is a good sport towards them, but his dialogue betrays the fact that he's not exactly thrilled with himself.
  "I just want to climb into a hole...Well, I guess it'd be more like falling from here."
• Mick Foley: His missing teeth...well, for his wife, anyway; she was unsettled when he started wearing fake ones for Dude Love. He once even put them in during a marital spat, just to irritate her.
• New Girl S 2 E 23, Girls Like Musicians: The cute guy Jess flirted with on prom night can play the guitar. This is treated as a Charm Point.
• Asteroid in Love, Girl Watching: Moe's confessed hobby is "collecting the girls' info," which boils down to this trope. As shown in Suzu's Research and even in the main series, she enjoys seeing the girls' Charm Points, as well as being curious how they act in different situations (especially Mira and Ao).
• Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff - Cloud Cuckoolander: Biff suggests that Joshua's mom (you know, the Virgin Mary) has a touch of this quality about her, which doesn't help the family much. (Of course, Biff finds it (Charm Point) charming...)
• Breakfast at Tiffany's, Speech-Impeded Love Interest: While not the protagonist's love interest, Mag invokes this with her pronounced stutter. She will exaggerate it, especially in front of men, when it benefits her. Apparently (Charm Point) the impediment makes her more appealing.
• Mellorine! Mellorine!, Double Standard: Many of the very things Sanji found repellant about his male crewmates become Charm Points once they're women.
• Fate/Harem Antics, Generation Xerox: Raiga jokes that Shirou takes his lady-killer attitude from Kiritsugu because their stubbornness is their Charm Point.
• Robert Silverberg, Extra Digits: In Across A Billion Years, the protagonist's Love Interest Jan Mortenson has six toes on both feet, 40 teeth, and some other minor differences from humans due to being a half-blood (three-quarters human and one quarter alien). The protagonist sees this as a Charm Point.
• Marion Davies: She was also known for having quite a noticeable stutter; fortunately it never manifested itself onscreen, but in everyday life, it never went away. However, given her beauty and charisma, it was more of an endearing Charm Point than a flaw.
• Tiger And Bunny Sternbild First League Heroes - Keith Goodman: The Ace: A handsome All-American Face (whether or not Sternbild is anywhere near America) and current "King of Heroes". He avoids this trope's more insufferable traits, however, and comes across as a Nice Guy and even a bit of a ditz. It's even pointed out by Agnes that these traits are (Charm Point) part of his popularity.
• Goblin Slayer: Other Significant Players - Silver Blaze: A thin white streak in the center of her bangs is her most distinguishing feature and the aspect of her appearance everyone credits as making her so exceptionally beautiful.
• A Chance for a New Dawn - Byleth, Does Not Like Spam: It turns out he can't stand raw tomatoes. Sothis outright calls him a child for discarding them from a meal. Bernadetta thinks it's (Charm Point) endearing.

Ambiguous / Doesn't Say

• My Hero Academia - Ochaco Uraraka, Blush Sticker: She has small permanent ones which highlight her cuteness and innocence; they're even noted as a Charm Point in the character descriptions. She inherited the blush stickers from her mother, who also has them.
• Ah My Buddha - Sumi, Big Ol' Eyebrows: Her Charm Point, as it were.
• Harry Potter Ravenclaw - Luna Lovegood, Cloud Cuckoolander: As a Charm Point; talk of Nargles and random streams of consciousness. In Half-Blood Prince this is a Deconstructed Trope as it is brought up that Luna faces the treatment that many real life Cloudcuckoolanders face during the educational years. She has, for example, always been an easy target of teasing by other students and, before her 4th year, her only friend was Ginny. Neither of these facts seem to bother her especially much, though.
• Megatokyo, Cloud Cuckoolander: Meimi. She's the most out-there conglomeration of magical girl Charm Points that exists. And her magical girl power? Magical theft. She takes magical girl tropes Serial Escalation. There is some evidence that she actually is insane, but most of the time she gives the impression that she's playing it up for whatever reason. At the very least, it's pretty clear that she does accidentally steal things all the time.
• Jobby the Hong, Fish Eyes: The Charm Point of his Godzilla-based mascot, as seen above.
• Corpse Party, * Tsundere: Naomi is your typical tsun-tsun. Instead of presenting this as a Charm Point, however, the attitude is Deconstructed as part of her Fatal Flaw.
• Tropes A to C: Moustaches are Serious Business.
• Ink City S3: Back to the Wall: Referenced by Ichigo after hearing Wakko never takes his hat off. can't tell if Ichigo is saying it's Wakko's charm point or if Ichigo is saying Wakko thinks it's his charm point.
• Momoiro Clover Z, Big Ol' Eyebrows: The signature look and Charm Point of Akari.
• W Juliet: Ito being an enthusiastic Tomboy in looks and personality, and being taller than most girls. Also notable is her aversion to feminine clothing. Many characters at one point or another are amazed at how beautiful Ito looks whenever she does wear anything feminine. Toki even bought Ito a feminine outfit during a party and it brought everyone's attention on her. Of course it was just to make Ito fit Toki's ideals to make her his girlfriend.
• Ground Control To Psychoelectric Girl, Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: Ryuuko when exchanging numbers with Makoto ^note *kachi kachi kachi* for *click click click* while tapping on a cellphone, and later Makoto when congratulating Ryuuko for her clever play on words with "Not able to sleep / not having any dreams" ^note *pachi pachi pachi* for *clap clap clap*. Related is that Ryuuko rather abuses onomatopoeias in every conversation with Makoto, replacing various words in the middle of sentences with their sound effects instead. It's one of her primary charm points, although most of the instances don't really lend themselves to being easily depicted in translations.
• The Seven Deadly Sins: Meliodas, Idiot Hair: He has a pair of small cowlicks that stand rather prominently atop his head with one in particular being more pronounced than the other. Identified in the first Fanbook specifically as his "ahoge (アホ毛)", this is reflective of some parts of his personality which fit a typical type of a shonen character and protagonist. The Fanbook also further lists this down as being his Charm Point.

Self-defined

• Wrestle Angels 1 - Riyu Kikuchi, Hachimaki: Her trademark Charm Point. Her second private event in Survivor has her dragging the President out to buy her a new one while mumbling to herself about how having one he bought her would inspire her to fight even harder.

Others defined

• Neither a Bird nor a Plane, it's Deku!: Izuku Midoriya: Izuku's spit curl, which he's had since he was a baby, is his single most noticeable trait. He's often referred to as "Spitcurl" when people don't know his name and it's the first thing most people remember about him until they see him in action.
  Nejire: [upon meeting Izuku] That's so cool! How'd you—oh, you've got a spit curl! Hey, you ever stick your finger in there and twist it around?

• Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) - Freedom Fighters - Amy Rose: Her Piko Piko Hammer.
