Missing

0. Anemia: This character has anemia.

Anemia is a decrease in number of red blood cells (RBCs) or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. However, it can include decreased oxygen-binding ability of each hemoglobin molecule due to deformity or lack in numerical development as in some other types of hemoglobin deficiency. Anemia is the most common disorder of the blood.

People with anemia report non-specific symptoms of a feeling of weakness, or fatigue, general malaise and sometimes poor concentration. They may also report dyspnea (shortness of breath) on exertion. In very severe anemia, the body may compensate for the lack of oxygen-carrying capability of the blood by increasing cardiac output. The patient may have symptoms related to this, such as palpitations, angina (if preexisting heart disease is present), intermittent claudication of the legs, and symptoms of heart failure.
0. Cat Person: This character has a special place in their hearts for cats. They may prefer cats to other animals (most notably dogs).

Don't apply this trait to every character that owns a cat, but only to those that express particular love and care for their pet. A person doesn't have to actually own a cat, but in that case should show their love for the species in some other way, like volunteering in an animal shelter or taking care of strays.
0. Cold-hearted: This character is cold-hearted.

Cold-hearted characters act in a way that is lacking sympathy or feeling. They are usually indifferent to the plight of others and unkind.

Dandere: A dandere character is one who is normally quiet and silent, possibly to the point of coming across as emotionless at times, but will suddenly become talkative, sweet and cute when alone with the right person if they manage to push the right button to get them to pour their heart out, revealing that they're actually just shy.
0. Demon Tail: This character has a demon-like pointy tail with an arrowhead/triangular/heart-shaped tip. This type of tail is typically hairless and has a smooth, glossy surface resembling latex or leather. It is often red, purple, black, or otherwise darkly-colored.

0. Infamous: This character is infamous, someone who is known for a reputation that's not exactly regarded positively in public eyes.

The counterpart of being famous, this character is well known for some bad quality or deed. Note that being infamous does not mean one is automatically a criminal or villain or evil, many infamy can be created due to the character's reputation, wide spread rumors, and/or the person being misunderstood, the same as how positive fame is spread, only towards a more negative note.

ex. being a lone wolf that is well known for some reputation yet most people hesitate to interact with him/her due to said reputation and/or maybe along with their intimidating air, but in fact that person may have a heart of gold or is just misunderstood.

On the other hand, it's also possible for one person to be both famous and infamous at the same time, being well known and revered to positively on one hand in one group, while at the same time resented or feared by some other group of people or even seen as an outcast with a formidable and/or notorious reputation.

On another note, many criminals and villains usually have a reputation of infamy. However, it should be noted that although criminals, villains, and generally evil characters are usually infamous, infamy does not automatically mark someone as evil as explained above. Many anti-heroes can have a degree of infamy, the same as how a villain can actually be famous positively but it's actually a mask to hide their true selves and goals as well as using the public to their advantage.

0. Scary Protagonist: This type of protagonist has a scary appearance, making normal people avoid him.

In a lot of cases, he is actually just a normal person, often even kindhearted, but due to his looks people around him will think he is some kind of delinquent or the like. Most of the time he will have very few or no friends at all at the beginning of the game and only people who will get close enough to him will understand his true self, be it good or bad.

On top of this his appearance may often create misunderstandings with other characters especially heroines, which might lead to one them being a [url=/http://vndb.org/g194]Classic Tsundere[/url] toward the protagonist.

He might also be pretending to be what others think he is, or he might really be as bad a person as he looks, but what counts is his physical appearance, people must fear/think badly of him at first sight. Characters who are feared but not for their look or who take a frightful appearance on purpose do not count.

A very well known example of this kind of character would be Ryūji Takasu from the light novel [url=/http:/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toradora!]Toradora![/url]
0. Slave Tattoo (BDSM): This character has a slave tattoo (BDSM).

This kind of tattoo is used to emphasize the fact that a character is submissive to or owned by their master. Common slave tattoo designs include barcodes, hearts, or chains. A barcode would suggest they are property. Hearts means that the slave's heart belongs to their master.

0. Suspended Animation: This character was put into artificial sleep or hibernation.

Suspended animation is the slowing of life processes by external means without termination. Breathing, heartbeat, and other involuntary functions may still occur, but they can only be detected by artificial means. Extreme cold can be used to precipitate the slowing of an individual's functions; use of this process has led to the developing science of cryonics. Cryonics is another method of life preservation but it cryopreserves organisms using liquid nitrogen that will preserve the organism until reanimation.
0. Terminal Illness: This character suffers from a terminal illness.

A terminal illness is a medical term popularized in the 20th century to describe a disease that cannot be cured or adequately treated and that is reasonably expected to result in the death of the patient within a relatively short period of time. This term is more commonly used for progressive diseases such as cancer or advanced heart disease than for trauma. In popular use, it indicates a disease which will end the life of the sufferer.
