[[Love Interests]] have always been [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience]]. Traditionally, the hero's significant other would usually be a [[Hair of Gold|blonde]], to [[Foil|contrast with]] the brunette [[The Vamp|Vamp]] or [[Femme Fatale]]. But today, the passive [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]] and [[Shallow Love Interest]] have been replaced by the sassy, bold, brash, sharp-tongued [[Action Girl]] and [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]] -- easily compatible with the "spunky [[Fiery Redhead]]" stereotype.
 
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]].

** ''[[The Ikaris]]'': They [[Accidental Marriage|got accidentally married]] in the first episode.
** ''[[Nobody Dies (Fanfic)|Nobody Dies]]''
** ''[[Once More with Feeling]]'': Shinji pretty much states he is irrevocably in love with Asuka.
** ''[[The One I Love Is]]'': Shinji finds himself in a [[Love Triangle]] with Asuka and Rei. He sincerely loves both {{spoiler|but he finally ends up choosing Asuka.}}
