In character design, there is the crucial question:
Short Hair or [[Rapunzel Hair|Long Hair
You need never choose between the two again. A woman who has Short Hair with Tail has the spunk and practicality of a Short-haired Hottie with all the flowy drama or [[Rapunzel Hair]]. A man who has Short Hair with Tail has the stereotypical, short male haircut at the front ''but'' gets to be a [[Badass Long Hair]] or [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]] at the same time.
Line 11:
This is a character design trope, subtrope of [[Anime Hair]]. See also [[Tomboyish Sidetails]], [[Rapunzel Hair]] and [[Badass Long Hair]]. Compare with [[Anime Hair]], for the general likelihood of actually seeing these styles walking around, and [[Hime Cut]], when the short hair is only in front to frame the face.
{{examples|pre=characters with }}
▲== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* Soi-Fon (the captain of Squad 2) in ''[[Bleach]]'' has two. If Short Hair with Tail is any character indicator, the short cut says she can [[Action Girl|kick some serious butt with the rest of them]], and the long hair is in keeping with the dramatic, showy side of her personality and how girly she gets around [[Les Yay|Yoruichi]].
* ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' has Ozma Lee, who pulls off a badass haircut that this troper has seen go horribly wrong in real life. Short clipped and tousled all around with [[Badass Long Hair|a ponytail down his back]]. This man has no mullet—he has pure awesome growing from his scalp.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* The [[Sailor Moon|Sailor Starlights]] have this—all three. [[Gender Bender|Though]] [[Attractive Bent Gender|considering]] [[Bifauxnen|their]] [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|rather]] [[Crossdresser|particular]] [[Wholesome Crossdresser|situation]] with varying canon, the male/female character implications of the hairstyle might change. Regardless of canon and gender confusion, they're all very pretty and they all kick butt.
* Makoto from ''Idaten Jump''.
* Asta, at least in the ''[[Trinity Blood]]'' anime. From the front, it looks like a short cut. [https://web.archive.org/web/20200122215924/http://www.spookhouse.net/angelynx/trinityblood/tb11-abel-asta-frame2.jpg From behind,] it's about as long as her [[Badass Longcoat]].
* The goddess Peorth from ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]''—just another quality to add to her fan-favorite status.
* Micaiah Chevelle from ''[[Nanoha Vivid]]''.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* The new ''[[Code Geass]]'' project, ''Boukoku No Akito'' (or ''Akito The Exiled'') features its titular [[The Protagonist|hero]], [http://static.zerochan.net/full/32/26/838832.jpg Akito Hyuuga] (pictured at right), with this hairstyle (the tail in question being a braid).
* Komachi/Cure Mint from ''[[Yes! Pretty Cure 5]]'', a [[Shrinking Violet]] and the [[Barrier Warrior]] of her team, subverts this [[Beware the Nice Ones|most of the time]].
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Hopey and Maggie from ''[[Love and Rockets]]'' have had rattails and variations thereof at different points in the series.
== [[Film]] ==
Line 45 ⟶ 42:
* This picture of ''[[Mulan]]'', which shows her in the outfit and hairstyle she fought [[Big Bad|Shan Yu]] in at the end of the film, but for some reason had her hairstyle drawn in a way so it now includes a ponytail.
▲== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* The female cut for the [[Babylon 5|Centauri]] could be considered this—shaved bald except for the long, long ponytail.
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 60 ⟶ 55:
* In ''[[Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume]]'', [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100131164915/valkyrieprofile/images/4/44/Valkyrie_profile_covenant_of_the_plume_art_3%282%29.jpg Cheripha] has this.
* Zhong Hui from ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]''.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120725010007/http://www.zeldainformer.com/images/articles/Impa.jpg Impa] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]'' has very short hair, but her bangs on her right side make a long tail.
* ''[[Etrian Odyssey]] IV'' uses this for one of its female Swordsmen. In addition to wearing a bandana over a ponytail, her hair looks shorter in the front, but includes [[Tomboyish Sidetails]]. Notably, the other female Swordsman (who doubles as the class rep) just has a [[Bob Haircut]].
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 69 ⟶ 63:
** The Handmaid: Neck-length hair, except for two bangs framing her face which reach almost to her feet.
** Later, Meenah is seen with two braid-thin tails that touch the floor behind her.
* In ''[[Drowtales]]'', Agneya'mukhi Balvhakara has the bangs and sides of a [[Hime Cut]], but this trope in back. (Seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20200122215927/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?id=1731 here.])
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* One episode of ''[[King of the Hill]]'' has Bobby idolizing a garage-band punk rocker with a buzz cut and a rat-tail. His attempts to do the same doesn't take off.
* If baldness can be taken for "short cut", then Prince Zuko had one in the first season of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''.
