| So why do some characters have fangs? I could understand when they're a hybrid animal/monster/demon mix type, but I've also seen it in fully human characters like Lina Inverse and that one gay character from Kids on the slope. Is it supposed to represent something significant? Or just be there for cuteness? |
| Exaggerating incisors is just another way to distinguish facial features. It's usually used on mischievous, immature characters. It's about as significant as Mugibrows or impossible eye colors. Actually, I have no idea what you're talking about. Pics? |

| http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteLittleFangs tvtropes said: Most often, as suggested by the trope name, the character sports enlarged canine teeth. For maximum cuteness, at least one fang will be visible at all times, even when the character's mouth is closed, and especially if they have a Cat Smile. These indicate, generally, that the character is mischievous, slightly hostile, or a trickster, but not actually "bad." >Is it supposed to represent something significant? Or just be there for cuteness? what deeper meaning could a fang possibly have >___> |

I think it is because of the cuteness. Anime character looks very cute with them, like real girls look cute with that kind of teeth  If she close little bit her mouth you can only see both teeth in the front. This looks very cute by girls and women. |

| because it's cute and also because it's often a visual cue to a certain fierce personality quirk |
 |
| from what I know its just a little perk for characters that are usually mischievous, to make them seem cuter or both |
