What is "Moe"? Moe characters are cute. Moe characters are implicitly youthful, congregating to high school age and below. Adult female characters who qualify are almost always in their low twenties.

Male characters can also have moe traits...

Moe is basically like cuteness. There is not really an age or gender limit for a character to be considered "moe."
