Basically, this is when the main outfit of a redhead or auburn-haired character is green. This trope can sometimes be used to hint that somebody is of Irish descent, but sometimes, illustrators use it as a traditional pair of [[wikipedia:Complementary color|complementary colors]] or because they just feel like it. Bonus points if the character in question has [[Green Thumb|nature-themed]] [[Elemental Powers|abilities]].
Line 11:
== Anime & Manga ==
* [[Shadow Skill|Kyou Ryu]]. The trope fits so well, it's almost surprising Elle didn't throw a net over her to steal her [http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/1236/vlcsnap2010060722h48m32.png Pot o' Gold].
* Brief from ''[[Panty and& Stocking Withwith Garterbelt (Anime)|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]''.
 
 
Line 24:
* In the [[Justice Society of America]], redhead Cyclone's outfit is predominately green.
* Guy Gardner, resident [[Fiery Redhead]] of the [[Green Lantern]] Corps.
* Miss Martian of the [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]] and [[Young Justice (Comic Bookcomics)|Young Justice]] has red hair, but doesn't wear green. Instead, her skin itself is green!
 
 
== Film -- Animated ==
* [[Walt Disney]]'s version of [[Peter Pan (Disney film)|Peter Pan]].
* [[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Robin Hood]] is a strange example, being [[Funny Animal|an anthrophormopic fox]] with orange fur. It still counts, though.
* Taran from ''[[The Black Cauldron]]''.
* Ariel from ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' has a green mermaid tail in contrast with her bright red hair. This was actually one of the reasons the directors of the film decided to make her into a redhead in the first place.
* Quasimodo from ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''.
* Danny from ''[[Cats Don't Dance (Animation)|Cats Don't Dance]]''.
* Fiona from ''[[Shrek]]''. The fact that, [[Late Arrival Spoiler|at the end of the first movie]], she becomes an ogress permanently and gains green skin as well doesn't help matters.
* Hiccup and Stoick from ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (Filmanimation)|How to Train Your Dragon]]''.
* Princess Mérida from ''[[Brave (Animation)|Brave]]'' wears a dark green dress as her main outfit. At the archery contest however, she wore an [[True-Blue Femininity|turquoise dress]] with gold outlines [[Action Dress Rip|which begins to fall apart upon firing her first arrow]].
 
 
Line 43:
* Winifred from ''[[Hocus Pocus]]''.
 
 
== Literature ==
* At one point in [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[The Number of the Beast]]'', red-headed twin sisters Laz and Lor have donned green evening gowns for a coming dinner; Deety (who is [[The Narrator]] at the time) comments that she can't imagine a pair of beautiful redheads like them ''not'' having an entire wardrobe full of matching green outfits.
 
== Live-Action TV ==
Line 54 ⟶ 57:
 
== Video Games ==
* Although later incarnations of the character appear blonde or brunette, Link was this in the [[Zelda Classic|first]] [[Zelda II: theThe Adventure of Link|two]] installments of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. It's made more apparent in the [[All There in the Manual|instruction booklets and promotional art]] than in the games themselves, thanks to sprite limitations.
** The Self-Proclaimed Hero, a minor character in ''[[Phantom Hourglass]]'', is also this -- hethis—he wears clothes that look just like Link's usual green ensemble and has red hair and a beard.
* Valanice in some of her appearances in ''[[King's Quest]]''.
* Kaeli from ''[[Final Fantasy Mystic Quest]]''.
* Lady Priscilla from ''[[Fire Emblem Elibe]]''.
* Axel from ''[[Crazy Taxi]]'' is an inversion.
* Sofia Sartor from ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''.
* Hong Meiling from ''[[Touhou]]''
 
 
== WebcomicsWeb Comics ==
* Shelley Winters from ''[[Scary Go Round]]'' often wears green clothes and always has [[Significant Green-Eyed Redhead|(like many redheads) green eyes]].
* Lancelot from ''[[The Adventures of Wiglaf and Mordred|Wiglaf & Mordred]]'' wears green to match his fetish for plants. [[Green Eyes]] to go right along with it don't hurt.
 
 
== Western Animation ==

{{quote| '''Bart:''' People of Springfield, Whacking Day is a sham! It was started in 1924 as an excuse to beat up the Irish.<br />
'''Irish Guy:''' 'Tis true, I took many a lump, but 'twas all in good fun! }}
