Line 8:
''With a cinnamon girl."''|'''[[Neil Young]]''', "Cinnamon Girl"}}
[[Love Interests]] have always been [[
The hero's redhead is actually calm, [[Beware the Quiet Ones|at least most of the time]]. When she is fiery, she will probably be making him work to win her over for a long time or [[Romantic False Lead|he won't realize that she's the one for him until the end]].
Line 76:
* Lead character Izumi Noa of [[Patlabor]] becomes a redhead about three seconds into the OVA opening animation. Apparently, they'd already started animating, then decided that she needed to be more visually distinctive.
* Kenshin from [[Rurouni Kenshin]] is also a redhead - despite his Japanese origins. He's pursued by both Kaoru and Megumi. {{spoiler|The first wins.}}
* Keitaro Urashima of ''[[Love Hina]]'' has the red-headed Naru Narusegawa ([[Unwanted Harem|among others]]), although he's not much of a hero. [[Took a Level
** Of course, this is subverted in the anime, where Naru's hair is less red/orange and more straight brown.
* Asuna of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' is Negi's main love interest. No points for guessing her hair color. Bonus points for being the [[First Girl Wins|first girl he met]]. The series also features a subversion in Anya, Negi's [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] of whose affection he is ''completely'' unaware.
Line 103:
* Mary Jane Parker (still married to Peter in the [[Stan Lee]] approved newspaper strip, which some say is [[Better Than Canon]]), love interest of ''[[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]]''.
** In the actual comics, the current (and highly unpopular) love interest for Peter, Carlie Cooper, is subject to a ''severe'' case of [[Depending on the Artist]] for almost every subsequent appearance she's made. She's been depicted as a redhead twice now (to the point where, in the second occurrence, certain fans weren't sure if Peter had gotten back together with Mary Jane or not, until Carlie's name came up in the text).
* Cyclops' One True Love is Jean Grey, who's even nicknamed "Red". The first time he thought she was dead, he married her (obviously redheaded) clone, Madelyne Pryor. After she [[Go Mad
** Meanwhile, [[Wolverine]]'s fixation on Jean Grey is apparently the latest in a long line of redheads going back to his childhood, where his first love, Rose, was a dead-ringer for Jean.
** That is, until [[Joe Quesada]] came along and broke up the above marriages with a [[Cosmic Retcon]] by [[Deal with the Devil]] and [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|Dropping a bridge on Jean]], respectively. Maybe he's out to break up every marriage in the [[Marvel Universe]], or perhaps he is just anti-red-head.
Line 149:
* [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]] has slept with four redheads and only killed one of them! [[Sean Connery|Connery]]'s Bond stated in ''[[Diamonds Are Forever]]'' that he did really like redheads. Other Bonds' opinions on the matter are unknown.
* Elastigirl/Helen Parr of ''[[The Incredibles]]''; at least, when she was younger.
* And while we're on the topic of [[Pixar]] films, Buzz from ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' seems to hold a torch for Jessie.
** {{spoiler|Not just a torch anymore after their relationship upgrade in the third movie.}}
* Screatte (a red Sabertooth Squirrel) to Scrat from [[Ice Age|Dawn of the Dinosaurs.]]
Line 258:
* Would Willow Rosenberg be a case of Werewolves and Lesbian Witches want Redheads?
** Also, annoying potential slayers and occasionally Xander. And a demon/robot.
* ''[[Star Trek: The
** Dr. Crusher certainly had red hair, until she became blonde for the films, but didn't Kira and Janeway both have brown hair? Seven of Nine, on the other hand, was more of a strawberry blonde.
*** Nope, Kira and Janeway were most definitely redheads; however, their hair was a much darker shade of red than Crusher's. The red tones in Janeway's hair, especially, usually only showed up outside or under lights - the proof of her red hair is in ''Admiral'' Janeway's snowy-white bun (usually, only redheads go that pure white). Seven of Nine was all but a platinum blonde.
Line 308:
* Leena from ''[[Chrono Cross]]'' is a seeming subversion as she had the misfortune of being Serge's [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]], and thus loses out to the blond girl. However, the [[Multiple Endings|Good Ending]] pushes a reset button that erases Serge's memories of the blonde and puts her back to the top of the list, until the credits roll and we learn that [[Strangled by the Red String|Serge ended up with the blond anyways]].
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' did it, naturally - Snake had the lovely redheaded [[Faux Action Girl|Meryl]].
** And Johnny Sasaki, who, after a massive amount of [[Took a Level
* One of the romance options for Shepard in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' is [[Star Trek: The Original Series|Yeoman]] Kelly Chambers, your [[Green Eyes|green-eyed]] [[Green Eyed Red Head|redheaded]] [[Bridge Bunnies|personal assistant]].
** As is the default female Shepard, to further float your boat.
Line 349:
* [[King's Quest|Valanice]] is auburn-haired.
* It depends on your video card and your [[Player Character]], but [[Knights of the Old Republic|Carth Onasi]] appears to be auburn-haired under high-end graphics cards. Oddly enough, none of the [[Player Character]] options are gingers.
* [[
* Luke fon Fabre from ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]''. Just ask [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Te]][[Single Woman Seeks Good Man|ar]].
** As well as Asch, just asked [[Childhood Marriage Promise|Nata]][[All Girls Want Bad Boys|lia]].
* Olivia Dickens, the wife of Commodore Dickens and the matriarch of the detective family in ''Disney's [[Guilty Party]]''.
* Tsubaki Yayoi from ''[[
* ''Laura Bow The Dagger Of Amon Ra'' has the titular hero fall in love with the hunky redheaded stevedore/art student.
* In ''MARDEK'' Chapter 3, {{spoiler|Emela and Deugan}} play this pretty straight. Actually, nearly everyone in the royal guard wants Emela. Gloria, for her part, apparently attracts the lust of the entire male population of Canonia. Averted in that she only has eyes for a certain stammering [[Technical Pacifist]] inventor, who reciprocates her affections.
Line 373:
** Given that the wives are just their real-life wives in comic form, this is more of a [[Real Life]] example than a webcomic example.
* ''[[Dominic Deegan]]: Oracle For Hire'': the minor characters' love interests have red hair (Pam for Gregory, Jayden for Milov/Siegfried), while the ''main'' character's girlfriend, Luna, is the traditional blonde. However, it's interesting to note the shifts in the artist's coloring from the early days, when color strips were rarer; early pictures of Luna had redder hair (and Gregory, now a solid redhead, was fairer-haired).
* Nanase, from ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', is an odd example. She briefly dated the hero, before dumping him. He's dating a blonde now...And Nanase? Well, she's in a relationship with the hero's ''[[Opposite
** Though Ellen now has drifted from Opposite Sex Clone to a different person entirely due to magical intervention which aged her soul. ''El Goonish Shive'' is really complex. And weird.
* Surma Carver from ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'': her love life prior to Antimony's birth is one of many unresolved (so far) mysteries. Annie's a [[Redheaded Hero]] herself, with [[Weirdness Magnet|too many other problems on her plate]] to think about romance for now.
