| They are kind of a rare species: The serious, seemingly unyielding, determined and sometimes a little bit indifferent heroines/characters. Mostly looking somewhat plain yet remarkable. Even harem shows, while featuring many of the weirdest girls ever, usually dont include this "not so funny" type that often. Not often = there may be quite a few of them, but they get so ridiculesly little screen time and plot attention, that it feels way more like teasing. Also theres a distinction between "serious" and "savage". With Angelise (Cross Ange), Revy (Black Lagoon) and Yoko (Gurren Lagann) obviously on the savage side. Meaning they dont match what I am searching for. Im looking for Anime preferably, but feel free to recommend manga as well. Here are some examples for multiple reasons (maybe someone else likes it as well. Or to make sure you recommend something I havent seen. Or you dont really get what Im talking about. Also I felt like linking some pictures just cause. :D) Spoilers only contain spoiler-free pictures, so feel free to check them, if you dont remember the names or just wanna take a peak. Iwami Sara (Fuuka) Touma (White Album 2) Takako Chino (Orange) Probably the best example btw Asuka and Kousaka (Hibike Euphonium) Quin, Chiyuki and Nona (Death Parade) Shizuka Hiratsuka (SNAFU) Ibara Naruse (Coppelion) Mora Chester (Rokka no Yuusha) Havoc (Darker than Black) Shiina (Angel Beats) Nana Osaki (Nana) Madoka Moritaka (Ibitsu) //and the Sundome heroine as well, pretty similar for obvious reasons ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Borderliners and partial matches: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not sure about Mei Misaki (Another) since shes quite the exotic one. Also Aoba (Cross Game) fits most of the criteria, while she is sometimes very very very very tomboyish. Another "not sure": Utaha from Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata since shes tsundere AF Rin (Mnemosyne) since shes way too much on the indifferent side. |

| Shiraishi urara from yamada and the 7 witches is the first that comes to mind |
| Ergo Proxy Arslan Senki Kiznaiver Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun |
when ur about to have a refreshing sip of earl grey tea and someone says "traps are gay" |
| +1 Shizuku Mizutani (Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun) -- Protag. Romcom. Misaki Ayuzawa (Kaichou wa Maid-sama) -- Protag. Romcom. Oscar de Jarjeyes (Rose of Versailles) -- Protag. Drama. Youko Nakajima (Juuni Kokuki) -- Protag. Adventure, fantasy. Hikaru Minamoto (Otogizoushi) -- Protag. Adventure, historical. Sachiko Ogasawara (Maria-sama ga Miteru) -- Deuteragonist. Drama, shoujo-ai. Tokaku Azuma (Akuma no Riddle) I would have thought Yukino herself from SNAFU as what you are driving at so I dunno now about my understanding of exactly what you're looking for. Nevertheless I'm confidant the ones I provided are at least borderline. Already in your PTW: +1 Ergo Proxy (Re-L), Steins;Gate (Kurisu), Witch Craft Works (Ayaka). |

| Just watch any harem show, there is almost always that kind of character. |

Overfoxed said: Swagernator said: Just watch any harem show, there is almost always that kind of character. Either I failed at describing what I am looking for, or I totally watch the wrong Harems. Which shows are you thinking of? Well, - Utaha from Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata - Akeno from DxD - Tsugumi from Nisekoi - Chisato from Testament - Smith from Monster Musume - Miyuki from "Shomin Sample" Some of them are not in main cast tho. |

| Chihayafuru - Chihaya is so serious about karuta that it borders on the obsessive. Other options Akagami no Shirayuki-hime Saiunkoku Monogatari Nijuu Mensou no Musume Dennou Coil - especially "Isako" Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai Kill la Kill - two serious girls for the price of one Michiko to Hatchin - here the young girl is more serious and mature than the older woman Boogiepop Phantom Mahoutsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ("Someday's Dreamers") The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye Shion no Ou |
