Is it really necessary to be weak to be innocent? I know a few innocent gemsonas that are quite powerful, though admittedly they did overwhelm with cuteness. E.g. Snowflake Obsidian (LTT), who can cause explosions and frequently avoid poofing.

Also, crying isn't needed to be innocent. They can earnestly express emotion without crying, it works just as well. E.g. Padparadshpa (Aptos), she does not cry at all, though she mixes a few niches throughout roleplays, but she has been an innocent or naïve character in the past.

Cluelessness isn't really all that needed either, simply, believing the best of situations and or people. Cuprite (Pokemonboy3000) shows great examples of this niche, but she understands what is going on the majority of the time.

Overall, it isn't so much their power or knowledge or vulnerability that makes them innocent, it is there naïve good nature, as well a cute nature that makes protaganists love them and antagonists want to torture them.

Good list!
