Main/GIRL/Who Acts Very Distant but Is Actually Quite Nice Analysis/Sandbox

In many ways, the Sandbox can be considered a type of Tsundere; unlike their more common cousin, however, they avoid combative tactics in favor of more subtle(possibly bordering on passive aggressive) methods:


 * 1) The Silent Treatment: Sometimes this can be used as a blunt and open form of punishment. "I'm not speaking to you anymore." More commonly it's as simple as the recognition that silence is a conversational weapon. Responding to some foolishness with dead silence, perhaps with a slightly raised eyebrow, can be far more effective a putdown than some harsh insult. Occasionally this will be combined with tactic 2.
 * 2) Non-Verbal Cues: There are many ways to communicate disgust without words. These range from a haughty look, to sniffing at "boorish" behavior, to sighs about whatever new idiocy they've been called upon to endure. If confronted about it they'll probably reply: "I didn't say anything." (Unless they're giving you the Silent Treatment too - then you're likely to only get a stare.) Note that this can just as often convey approval, especially toward friends that have learned to "read" them.
 * 3) Cynicism: Casually blunt and dismissive, but rarely straightforward rudeness even when provoked. However, a conversation with them will always leave you with a faint feeling of being mocked. Witty comments that show how intelligent they are and how foolish you are: they tend to love these.
 * 4) Stoicism: Eschews more emotional ways of expression, coming across as emotionless, unfeeling, and overly logical. They might not seek out cutting comments, but they ignore the emotions of their companions and tend to dismiss them as unimportant.

As these traits can also suggest maturity and tact, they may come off as older. To highlight this, she may be accompanied by a more energetic, clumsier (or more annoying) Morality Pet wanting to emulate this graceful mature character. Said duo forms a Boke and Tsukkomi Routine, with the Sandbox playing the Straight Man role.
