Line 59 ⟶ 62:
 
== Red ==
Or any variation. Crimson and Scarlet sound especially [[Badass]]. Vermillion, less so, but you can work with it. See also [[Red Baron]].
 
=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===
Line 85 ⟶ 88:
* A dragon named Scarlet in the ''[[Sword of Truth]]'' series, though really it doesn't matter what the name is, you better run from a dragon if she ain't called Puff.
* Scarlett O'Hara, of ''[[Gone with the Wind]]'' wasn't exactly the southern sweetie she liked to pretend she was. She EARNED that damn not being given!
** ''[[Uninvited|]]'': A strange woman appears. She is dressed like Scarlett O'Hara]]. [[Schmuck Bait|She says "Thank you for coming back for me, my love. You will be mine forever."]] [[False Reassurance|Oh well, she's not the real person, just dressed like her.]] S'cuse me, lady [[Nightmare Fuel|--]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQCRSUN69yQ OH HOLY] [[Curse Cut Short|SHIIIII---]] [[Killed Mid-Sentence|*is ripped apart*]]
* ''[[The Dark Tower|]]'': The Crimson King]]''

* While not a person's name, the Scarlet Crusade from ''[[World of Warcraft]]''. Originally devoted to slay undead, but turned into an army of insane religious zealots bent on killing anyone who's not one of them. Also, their leader is a demon/vampire in disguise.
 
Line 111 ⟶ 114:

* Crimson Fury from ''[[Twisted Metal]]''.
 
=== [[Web Comics]] ===
* A very bad example is Scarlet Foxfire, which has a color, animal, and fire, from the [[Web Comics]] of [[David Gonterman]]. Gonterman probably does actually intend her to be a badass, but seeing as how she's some sort of superpowered vixen fursuit (worn by a guy), well, her status is dubious, at best.
Line 116 ⟶ 120:
=== [[Western Animation]] ===

* The manga of ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' featured a reporter following the crew as they chased the White Siblings, Ash and Blanche, who preyed on the elderly.
* The White Devil, [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha Takamachi]]. Well, it's a name to run from if you have done anything to incur her wrath. Okay, so she won't cause any lasting damage, but you are going to be in one hell of a lot of pain...
 
=== [[Comic Books]] ===
Line 181 ⟶ 185:
 
== Gray/Grey ==

=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===
Line 217 ⟶ 221:
 
=== [[Western Animation]] ===
* Azula, cold and ruthless villain from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. Name originally comes from the colour of her flames (blue -- whichblue—which is more intensive than normal red and yellow).

Line 234 ⟶ 238:
=== [[Real Life]] ===
