Women, on average, are shorter than men. And a good number of men find petite women charming. Because of this, in our society, tall girls and women [[Huge Schoolgirl|often feel awkward and out of place]], and some men will feel uncomfortable when it comes to [[Tiny Guy, Huge Girl|having a relationship with a woman who towers over them]], similar to [[No Guy Wants an Amazon|someone stronger than them]].

▲But then there are some women for whom ''this'' trope applies. These are the women whose overall charm comes from their height. Even if they themselves don't acknowledge it, the story and/or characters make it clear that her height is one of her distinguishing charms. Also, in fiction, tall women tend to be [[Tomboy|Tomboys]] and sometimes fall into the [[Action Girl]] archetype. Due to their extreme height, they will often have [[She's Got Legs|nice, long legs]].
They are also quite common in the [[Superhero]] genre and often accompanied by the [[Most Common Superpower]]. And as with [[Most Common Superpower]], sometimes tall heroines are so much the norm that they have to be ''extremely'' tall to really stand out. Looking at published [[Canon]] references like DC's ''Who's Who'' and Marvel's ''[[Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe]]'', one gets the impression that the ''average'' height for female characters is something like 5'10" or 5'11" (and that for male characters, it's about 6'3").
Line 15:
There is some [[Truth in Television]] to this trope as well: in [[Real Life]], models are usually quite tall (the better to show off their clothing, for one, and to have a more impressive presence).
Please note that for a woman to qualify for this trope, she needs to fulfill two criteria:
# She must be either taller than most men in her setting or stand at ''least'' 5'8" (172
# She must either be considered attractive in-universe or be accompanied by [[Fan Service]] tropes ([[Stripperiffic]], [[Male Gaze]], etc.).
Not to be confused with [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]], a character trope mainly used to describe women who are aloof, in addition to often having long, dark hair, and being tall, [[Non-Indicative Name|but not necessarily to the point of inclusion under this trope]]. They ''can'' overlap, though.
Line 24:
Some Statuesque Stunners are also [[Amazonian Beauty|Amazonian Beauties]]. Compare and contrast [[Huge Schoolgirl]], compare [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]].
{{examples|Examples: }}▼
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Half of the premise of ''[[Lovely Complex]]'' is Risa Koizumi, a girl taller than average. The other half being Atsushi Ootani, [[The Napoleon|a boy shorter than usual.]]
** An older manga (and anime; from the same studio, no less) called "The Kabocha Wine (''The Pumpkin Wine'')" has a similar premise.
* Makoto (Sailor Jupiter) from ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' is the tallest and strongest of the Inner Senshi. Haruka (Sailor Uranus) takes it to even more drastic levels.
* Fuyumi Kujirakawa from ''[[Great Teacher Onizuka]]''.
* In ''[[
* Viletta Nu, Cornelia Li Britannia, Rakshata Chawla, and Milly Ashford from ''[[Code Geass]]''.
* Sakaki from ''[[
* If we tried to list all the examples in ''[[Claymore]]'', we'd be here all day, so it's easier to list the exceptions. [[Token
* Rangiku Matsumoto of ''[[Bleach]]'' skirts the line at 5'8", but her height is most definitely ''not'' her most noticeable trait.
** Isane Kotetsu is very tall at 6'1". [[Huge Schoolgirl|And she's adorably awkward about it.]]
** {{spoiler|Nel Tu, in her [[Sleep Mode Size|true]], [[Older Alter Ego|adult]] [[She
** [[All There in the Manual|According to the latest Databook]], there's also the current 3rd Espada Tier Harribel (

* [[Action Girl|Noi]] of ''[[Dorohedoro]]'' is very tall ([http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%89%E3%83%AD%E3%83%98%E3%83%89%E3%83%AD according to the Japanese Wikipedia], she's about 6'10"). She's quite buxom as well. Despite [[Most Common Superpower]], she's been mistaken for a man numerous times by other characters, and most readers tend to get a [[Samus Is a Girl]] moment when they see her maskless for the first time. Fan art tends to depict her carrying her partner Shin in her arms.
* Sakura from ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]''.
* In the manga ''Walkin' Butterfly'', the protagonist bemoans the fact that she's super-tall until she realizes that most models are actually quite tall.
* Mai Kujaku/Valentine of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' stands almost eye to eye with Katsuya Jounouchi/Joey Wheeler.
* An excellent example from ''[[One Piece]]'': Boa Hancock, whose official height is a whopping 191
** Nico Robin is only one inch shorter than her.
** The mermaid princess Shirahoshi takes this [[Up to Eleven]], as she has many admirers, and is {{spoiler|[[Attack of the 50
*** There's also a un-named female Marine in the very literal "Giant Squad", who's fairly attractive.
* The [[Gender Flip|gender flipped]] version of Russia in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' is a very beautiful, long-haired [[Winter Royal Lady]] who easily is the tallest of the ''[[Fan Nickname|Nyotalia]]'' girls.
** Also, the genderflipped version of Sweden is a [[Lady of War]] with glasses and just as long hair. We're not sure of ''how'' exactly tall she is, but consider that the original Sweden is ''at least'' 6'0"...
* [[Hot God|Urd]] and her [[Hot Mom|mother]] [[Hot
* [[Huge Schoolgirl|Hikaru Ohno]] of ''[[Take On Me]]''. Quoting the character intro, she's "Six foot one of [[All Women Are Lustful|fun]] [[Tiny Guy, Huge Girl|fun]] fun!"
* Milly Thompson from ''[[Trigun]]''.
* Naga of ''[[Slayers]]'' is every bit as tall as she is busty. Which is to say, very much so.
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' gives us several: Kaede (
** There's also Mahora's [[Hospital Hottie|head nurse]] and guidance counselor, [[Team Mom|Shizuna]] [[Cool Big Sis|Minamoto]]. She's a tall, ravishing [[Meganekko]] with [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|blue hair]] [[Rapunzel Hair|that flows down her back]], and she's quite buxom as well (her cans are ''99cm''). Negi is literally introduced to her via [[Marshmallow Hell]].
* Kagari Ayaka from ''[[Witch Craft Works]]''. The male protagonist Honoka barely reaches her chest (although the size seems to change from chapter to chapter), making her at least 6 feet tall. She is also a [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]] [[Kuudere]] with G-cup breasts, [[Shiny Midnight Black|dark]], [[Rapunzel Hair|thigh-long hair]] (except when she is in battle, where it becomes fire-like), and a very nice body. It shows in the many, many, ''many'' instances where she carry Honoka bride style.
* Tsubaki Natsukasa from ''[[Soul Eater]]''.
* Brioche from ''[[Dog Days]]''.
* Angel from ''[[
== [[
* [[New Gods|Big Barda]] is... well... ''[[Captain Obvious|BIG]]''. As seen in the
* In addition to being a [[Hot Amazon]] and [[Amazonian Beauty]], [[She Hulk]] is ''this'' trope as well.
** Even in her normal Jennifer Walters form she's listed as 5'10".
** So are her [[Evil Counterpart]], Red She-Hulk, and her [[The Rival|rival]], Thundra. Lyra, the ''other'' She-Hulk, is this also.
** She-Hulk's [[Foe Yay|heated]] [[Arch Enemy]], Titania is also this.
* Knockout, another of the Apokoliptian [[New Gods]], and a supporting character in the ''[[Superboy]]'' and ''[[Secret Six]]'' books, also qualifies.
* [[Wonder Woman]], of course. And many other women from Paradise Island, as well. In Wondy's case this is especially noticeable in ''[[Justice League:
* Starfire of the ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' is especially tall at 6'4" (with [[Eighties Hair]] and heels often adding even more inches to that!).

** [[Huntress]] (listed at 5'11")
** [[Power Girl]] (listed at 5'11")
** Raven (sometimes listed at 5'11")
** [[Supergirl]] tends to be portrayed as a woman of roughly above average height at 5'7", but occasionally taller, particularly if shown as her "future self" of Superwoman. Not too surprising, since [[Power Girl]] is essentially Supergirl's "grownup" counterpart from a parallel Earth.
** Andromeda, Supergirl's [[Captain Ersatz]] in the [[Legion of Super
* [[Ms. Marvel
* Power Princess of the [[Squadron Supreme]], Marvel's [[Captain Ersatz]] of [[Wonder Woman]]. Her official height is listed as 6'8", four inches taller than Hyperion, the Squadron's [[Captain Ersatz]] of Superman.
* Power Princess' [[Darker and Edgier]] counterpart from the ''[[Supreme Power]]'' universe is slightly shorter at 6'3" and while she's always been drawn tall she was originally more of a thin supermodel type. Then Frank Cho started drawing her in ''[[Ultimate Marvel|The Ultimates]]''.
* Storm of the [[X-Men]], at 5'11", certainly qualifies.
* Psylocke, also of the X-Men, is likewise 5'11". Her former crime fighting partner Captain UK, real name Linda McQuillan, is 6'2".
* [[Red Sonja]] is definitely this.
* Shanna the She-Devil stands at 5'10".
* The [[Amazonian Beauty]] Stunner from ''[[Spider-Man]]'', whose name is [[Exactly What It Says

* The actress who plays Sansa Stark in ''[[A Game of Thrones]]'' is still in her early teens, and is already taller than most men, made easier by several of the adult male actors not being particularly tall. The actress who will play Brienne of Tarth is absolutely gargantuan, but is far more attractive than the character described in the novels.

** In the 3rd Edition sourcebook detailing the gods used in campaigns, all of the Greek gods fit into the Large category (about eight to sixteen feet tall) in their true forms and avatar forms, meaning that any attractive Greek goddess - including [[Hot Goddess|Aphrodite]], Athena, Hera, and Artemis, to name just four - would qualify in this continuity.

Also, Mai is tall enough to look her boyfriend Zuko (the tallest Gaang member) in the eye.
*** This is [[Justified Trope]] to some degree, as it's likely neither Aang, Katara, Zuko, or Mai have [[Teens Are Short|stopped growing yet]]. All are shorter than shown adult characters, and Katara is a full two years older than Aaang.

Like many similar record holders, her incredible height was due to [[w:Acromegaly|acromegaly]], but surgery to remove the gland has halted her erratic growth. The guy in the first photo with her is her husband, who she is a foot and a half taller than. She towers over her parents and siblings too.
* Actress/model [[Brooke Shields]] has been just shy of six feet tall since her late teens.
* Australian professional basketball player Liz Cambage is 6'9" and very well aware of her Stunner status. She's also very much pro-[[Fan service]], being one of the most vocal in favor of the famously [[Sensual Spandex|tight]] bodysuit making a comeback (which it did), saying that "it makes you wanna stay in shape".
** Basketball in general produces a lot of Statuesque Stunners (certainly too many to name), given that the jumping and throwing action quickly builds muscle, with the former also being a major draw for tall girls.
