Music to got with the ArticleJapanese for "Small Violet"
Painfully shy and quiet, the Shoshi is the withdrawn character, usually but not always female, who walks through the school hallways with her head down and wants nothing more than to blend in with the scenery to avoid all attention because she believes that her presence is worthless or unwanted. Often The Quiet One. Expect her to apologise a lot.
She will usually be better than average in scholastic classes, often old enough to still be in High School

Her appearance will often be pretty in a bookish sort of way, although not all shrinking violets need to be geniuses or nerds.
The reasons for her (lack of) self-confidence vary, but they usually include intimidation (or bullying) by the popular ones, or being the youngest and more sheltered daughter in the family, or in more dramatic cases, a personal event that convinced her that the world would be better off if she just shut up. In other cases, the Shrinking Violet actually manages to avoid the brunt of fights or taunts that more vocal outcasts take, presumably because she's so quiet that she might as well be invisible.
Some Shoshis will accept their status, but be plagued with that nagging feeling that they can be more than they assume. Other Shoshis will hate their crippling insecurities and want to reach out to others, but be paralyzed by fear of rejection. Unlike people Snarky, they didn't choose to be alone, but feel powerless to change it. They may even harbor a secret crush on a popular male classmate, or even on a male classmate who frequently gets picked on, which they, time and time again, cannot spit out. Prone to blushing.
One advantage to being the Shoshi is that, being outside the viciously popular circle, the few friends she manages to make are the loyal, lifelong ones who'd give their right arms to help a true friend in need. Which they will, because the Shoshi is invariably of the sweet-tempered, delicate type who makes a great friend and a lousy criticism taker from A Click Queen or her Girl Posse.
