Line 31:
*** Hayate keeps her ribbon into her mid-20s. Seeing as how she's {{spoiler|one of the most powerful mages in history, half ancient-artifact-superweapon, and leader of her own specialist team of super-mages}}...''you'' tell her she can't wear it at that age.
* ''[[The Swiss Family Robinson]] Flone Of The Mysterious Island''. Flone wears an exotic flower.
* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'':
* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'':* Tsukino Usagi, Chibi Usagi and Chibi Chibi all wear [[Odango]] orbs and tiaras in their Sailor forms. Super Sailor forms throw in barrettes. The manga had the barrettes from the beginning.
** Not to count Kino Makoto and Aino Minako. Mako-chan has a cute jeweled hair tie, and Minako has a red bow (which even has a backstory of its own). Naru always wears her green hairbow, and in the manga, most of Usagi's classmates are distinguished by their hair ties. (The [[Cloudcuckoolander|extraterrestrial-investigation-club leader]] from Rei's school resembles [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Asuka]] with small red hairbows. The Sailor/Amazoness Quartet from the manga are an extreme case, as their hair decs (and hairstyles as well) are [[Anime Hair|practically]] [[Improbable Hairstyle|improbable]].)
* ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'': Misty has a red-double-orb decorated single pigtail; Dawn not only wears a hat, but ''also'' sports three yellow triangular hair clips. And if these two let their hair grow for the next ten years then up the size of their apparel by an order of magnitude they may hope to compete with the hair dec [[Power Level]] of Sinnoh champion, Cynthia.
* In ''[[Nanaka 6/17]]'', Nanaka wears a side ponytail with a double-orb elastic after a head trauma causes her to think she's 6 years old again.
Line 121 ⟶ 122:
* The Reboot version of ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes]]''' Shrinking Violet wore a headband with a violet in it. Kinetix wore one with a Legion logo.
 
== Films -- Animation[[Film]] ==
* In ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]'', Kiki wears a rather impressive red bow.
* Also, Chihiro in ''[[Spirited Away]]'' has a small band to tie back her hair. Later, she replaces it with a sparkly one that Zeniba says will protect her because [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|her friends made it for her.]] {{spoiler|After leaving the spirits' world at the end, a quick sparkle shows the audience that it wasn't all [[All Just a Dream|just a dream.]]}}
Line 128 ⟶ 129:
* ''[[Tangled]]'': Rapunzel is a [[Moe Moe]] [[Genki Girl]] all the time, but the few scenes where she wears flowers all over her carefully multi-braided [[Rapunzel Hair]] are just made of sheer adorableness.
* Fifi, the main antagonist from the direct to DVD sequel of [[Open Season]], "Open Season 2". Despite wearing a cute blue bow on his fluffy head, Fifi is a neurotic and slightly unhinged poodle who didn't intend to let Weenie go back to the wild with Boog and Eliot without a fight. Also he's a male.
 
== Films -- Live Action ==
* In ''[[Heathers]]'', a red hair accessory passes from owner to owner, symbolizing transfer of power among the girls.
* ''[[Matilda (film)|Matilda]]'': Matilda always wore a hair ribbon that she tied into a bow.
 
== Literature ==
* ''[[Discworld]]'':
** Gloria Thogsdaughter, one of Susan Sto Helit's classmates in ''[[Discworld/Soul Music (novel)|Soul Music]]'', wears ribbons in the school colours. [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|In her beard.]]
** Lady Sybil [[Overly Long Name|Sybil Deidre Olgivanna Vimes née Ramkin]] has literal hair decorations in the form of interchangeable wigs; her actual hair being [[Noodle Incident|burnt off at some time previous]] by her [[Our Dragons Are Different|pet swamp dragons]].
* [[Alice in Wonderland|Alice]], who thanks to the Tenniel illustrations is famously associated with, well, the Alice band.
* In ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (novel)|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'', Dolores Umbridge is frequently described as wearing Alice bands and other hair ornaments not at all suited to a woman of her age. It's part of her sickly-sweet projection.
