Not like I've actually played FFVIII or seen much of Ayashi no ceres- but from what I've seen and pictures around the net, Squall and Touya <I'm sure there's more out there> seem to be two characters that you don't see them smile very often, portraying them with a sad past/mysterious personality, or someone who is perhaps not so optimistist about life. Another purpose I think is to make them look cool  What do you think about them? |

lol.. u have made a good point. Both of them rarely smile (and they look damn hot too!  ) but when they smile...... err.. I donno  Like, it doesnt look that good on them..lol The fact that these two pessimistic guys dont smile, reflect their personality. Touya on one hand, has nothing to be happy about.. and Squall just~ doesn't like to have fun (a loner) This both changes when they have found their loved one. Squall~ the final ending movie clip, with Rinoa Touya~ Officially going out with Aya.. Nevertheless, I still think it has something to do with their looks  I mean, come on... the times they smile dont look very good. |

Cloud definatly fits here too, Never seen Ayashi no ceres, but i agree with Jenn on squall, i think he just wanted to be left alone, hermit-type guy, then Rinoa finally pulls him out of it.
Cloud never really does come out of it, he seems to be pretty serious wherever he shows up, especially in kingdom hearts, which is kinda strange since kh is the most light-hearted game overall that he's appeared in.

Here's a little dialouge of Squall and Rinoa, and it kind of explains why he's always down (Rinoa also mentions here how he frowns..lol).
Rinoa: "They know you too well. I do, too, although I haven't been around you that long. Y'know, when you start thinking, you tend to frown like this."
Squall: "I'm out of here."
Rinoa: "Oh come on! I'm sorry! But really, we were saying that... well... You can't handle everything on your own." *she pushes him*
Squall: !!!
Rinoa: "That's it! Just let out anything! Anything... We want you to talk to us a little more. That's all. Y'know, if there's anything you want to tell us, or anything we can do, don't hesitate to let us know. I know it's not easy but I wish you would trust us and rely on us a little more."
Squall: (Am I that untrusting...? Maybe I'm this way because I'm scared. Nothing lasts in this world. It feels great to have friends who believe in you, and adults you can rely on. That's why it's so dangerous, especially if you become used to it. Someday you're bound to lose everything. Everybody around you will be gone. Then what are you left with? Nothing. Nobody... It's so miserable. And it's inevitable. It's so hard to recover from something like that. I never ever want to deal with that again. I can't even if it means being alone...)
His pessimism can be seen in this quote of his:
Squall: "... Just for now, huh? Forget it. I don't want friends who won't be around tomorrow."

...seems like you really dislike Rinoa... I personally think she's a cool character. ^^;; I'm sure squall was actually happy she took him out of his anitisocialness.. (which is a reason why she's likable)..
But true.. the smile.. >.< It doesnt suit his face..
EDITL wait a sec... how come you have an av and siggy of Rinoa if you dislike her? o.o

I'd agree most bishies look cool not smiling, and Yuu Watase herself said that she enjoys drawing guys like that because she personally like guys like that XD
