|'''[[Homestar Runner|Strong Bad]]'''}}
An overtly [[Strawman Political|comical liberal or left-wing]] character, usually with a penchant for tie-dyes, crystals, veganism, free love, [[Nude Nature Dance|oneness with nature]] and anything that is '[[All-Natural Snake Oil|all-natural]]'. This character will commonly not be very well grounded, but cheerful; flighty, but not [[Cloudcuckoolander|scatter-brained]] enough to qualify as [[The Ditz]], yet the character is often associated with being book smart, and will have a tendency to [[Soapbox Sadie|make her opinions known whenever possible]]. She will [[All-Natural Snake Oil|love any kind of alternative medicine]] and will refer to actual real doctors as "allopaths" and "greedy". Of course, she will never actually have a health problem worth seeing a doctor about it, because any problem she has will be all in her head.
Male versions of this character (granola guys) are exceedingly rare, and are mainly depicted as aging 50- or 60-year-old [[New Age Retro Hippie|hippies]], either Tommy Chong-esque [[Erudite Stoner]]s or balding guys with ponytails who [[Disco Dan|haven't yet accepted the end of the 1960s]]. Very occasionally you will see [[Mega Man ZX|young men who fall under this trope]], and who are if anything treated as being even more ridiculous than the female version. Expect them to play the guitar very badly. However, such characters (regardless of gender) are almost always portrayed as sincere and well-meaning.
Compare [[Bourgeois Bohemian]], [[Soapbox Sadie]].
{{examples}}
== Advertising ==
* A series of home insurance adverts for UK insurer Direct Line, featuring a potential customer who misses their offers because she's worried about feng shui, or accidentally drops a heavy crystal on the salesman's foot. Occasionally used for [[Hypocritical Humor]], such as the one where she claims not to need insurance because she's moved beyond material goods, and then can't find her handbag.

== Fan Works ==
* Terra Caldwell from ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5330983/1/Convergent_Paths Convergent Paths]'' (a ''[[Pokémon]]'' fanfic), who [[Does Not Like Shoes|dislikes shoes]] and likes meditating, up to the point of switching between normal state and meditative state (in which she speaks "like a wise elder of a village").
