Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

How do you make a [[Pretty Boy]] even prettier? Give him long (shoulder-length or longer), flowing tresses of glossy hair. Bonus points for wearing it loose, no matter how impractical this may be.

If he's not the type for just sitting around looking pretty he might also be a [[Badass Long Hair]]. Villainous versions are likely to also be a [[White Haired Pretty Boy]]. A lot of these fall under [[Viewer Gender Confusion]] (for some people), because [[Long Hair Is Feminine]] (if the confusion occurs in-universe, it's an example of [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]). Related to [[Rapunzel Hair]].

** Even since the beginning--[[Final Fantasy I (Video Game)|Red Mage's]] and White Wizard's original sprites were [[Long Haired Pretty Boy|long haired pretty boys]] (okay, we can't tell if they're pretty, precisely - or guys, for that matter - but it's ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' in the [[Yoshitaka Amano]] era. Odds are good that they are).

*** Warrior of Light becomes one in ''[[Dissidia]]'', which was based on Amano's art for the Warrior class.

In the sequel, his hair's yet longer...but still not as long as [[The Lancer|Kain]], with his long, straight, lovely blond hair.
