Line 93:
* Although he hasn't made his fondness for her known vocally in ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'', pink-haired Hinagiku Katsura clearly holds his interest.
* Sanji from ''[[One Piece]]'' is enamored with the flame-haired Nami, though he's enamored with anything female that isn't a complete Gonk.
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"|Okarin]]...Kyouma, spends a [[Mind Screw]]-worthy amount of time trying to save his [[Childhood Friends]] Mayuri. He decides all his effort should be thrown away, when the choice comes to save either her...or the redhead.
** Except, in the [[Steins;Gate|game]], Kyouma can give up for whatever reason before then for the sake of one of the other girls' happiness, though the route the anime took certainly is the true ending. There's also the fact that she's only a redhead in the anime: in the game, she has brown hair.
* Technically, the Tai/Sora/Matt [[Love Triangle]] from "[[Digimon Adventure]]" and "[[Digimon Adventure 02]]" is all about which guy gets Sora (who has auburn hair and therefore is a Red Head)...unless, of course, you [[Ho Yay|ship the hypotenuse]].
Line 130:
* Sally, from the Sonic comics published by Archie, is a redhead. Fiona, too.
* [[Scott Pilgrim]]'s romantic life consists of Kim (redhead), Natalie, a.k.a. "Envy" (redhead), Knives (temporarily had red highlights), and Ramona (her hair ''was'' red for a time, [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|but it changes often]]). More obvious in the Game {{spoiler|where his ending involves him dating Kim, Envy, and Knives all at once, and all three are pictured with him, and they all have red hair}}.
* The prevalence of redheaded heroines, villainesses and love interests in superhero comics is neatly summed up by [http://www.shrani.si/f/1b/sQ/jXHDesC/littlemarvels2.jpg this image]{{Dead link}}, showing [[Gen 13|Caitlin Fairchild]], [[X-Men|Jean Grey]], [[Batwoman]], [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Medusa]], [[Batman|Poison Ivy]], [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Starfire]], [[X-Men|Mystique]], [[Batgirl]], [[X-Men|Siryn]], [[Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends|Firestar]], and [[Spider-Man|Mary-Jane Watson]]. Notably missing [[Black Widow (comics)|Black Widow]], oddly.
Line 192:
**** As if to drive the point home, [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|red twi'lek]] are rare because their red skin is the result of a mutated gene. Likewise, red hair is rare and results from a mutated blonde hair gene. She's as close to a redhead as a hairless alien babe can get.
* Ygritte, a wildling woman who becomes Jon Snow's [[Temporary Love Interest]] in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]''. Wildling society as a whole favors redheads, believing them to be "kissed by fire". Jon also thinks of Melisandre (another woman with red hair <ref>along with red eyes and always red clothing</ref>) as very beautiful, if a little cold. And he's not the only POV character to take interest in redheads. At the beginning of the series, Ned Stark is happily married to auburn-haired Catelyn Tully and their daughter Sansa (who took after her mother) ends up being married to {{spoiler|Tyrion Lannister}} who admits that he is very attracted to her. Jaime Lannister, another POV character, found Catelyn's sister (that has the typical Tully coloring) rather pretty and Catelyn herself interesting as a teenager. There's also Rohanne Webber with whom Duncan, the protagonist of the [[Prequel|Dunk&Egg tales]], is infatuated.
** In poor Sansa's case though this is mostly averted to Villains (or Anti-Villains in Sandor's case) Want Redheads, as out of her two biggest admirers, one is a bitterly cynical [[Blood Knight]], the other a [[
* Red hair is one of the most common colors among the Aiel in the [[Wheel of Time]], so one of Rand's three is a redhead, as is Chiad (though that relationship is very minor and very complicated).
** Actually, ''two'' of Rand's "three" are redheaded - the other one is strawberry blonde.
Line 317:
** Also, though frequently forgotten thanks to her gradual blondification, ''Princess Zelda herself'' was red-haired in the original NES games. (Or should we say both Princess Zeldas, since the one in the second game was a [[Sleeping Beauty]] relative of the one from the first.)
*** This might be more be because of the limited palette of the NES—note that even Princess Peach was a redhead in the first Super Mario Bros. game.
** The Sleeping Zelda has red hair in her artwork, so it's intentional. The first Zelda, however, had [https://web.archive.org/web/20140804044348/http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/5/53/PrincessZeldaLoZArt.png blond hair], as evident in her Japanese artwork and her sprite; but, in the west, she has two different artworks, one with her being [
* Kairi of the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' series. Sora (and possibly Riku) falls for her.
* In ''[[Fire Emblem]] 6: Sword of Seals'': the redheaded male lord Roy can have ''six'' different possible brides (and one of them, the dancer Lalam, is a redhead as well). In the prequel, ''Fire Emblem 7: Blazing Swords'', his also redheaded father Eliwood can have three possible girlfriends (but no redheads this time).
