* '''Kinked/Squiggly Eyebrows''' - a pair of thin eyebrows with one or two "kinks" near the end. Usually used to make the character just eye-catching enough without being overly jarring. More extreme examples might resemble scythes.
* '''Fiery Eyebrows''' - usually found on [[Hot Blooded]] characters, these eyebrows are thicker than normal (though not quite a big as the [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]. Usually), and spiky or forked at the ends. They're often paired with [[Hotblooded Sideburns]].
* '''Swooped Eyebrows''' - eyebrows that curve upwards rather than arch like normal eyebrows. Typically used for otherworldly or "alien" characters, though they do occasionally show up on normal (if often strange) humans. This is also the most likely example to appear on [[Live Action TV]] characters.
* '''Lightning Eyebrows''' - Eyebrows shaped like lightning bolts; [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]], in other words. Have similar connotations as Fiery Eyebrows, but are usually found on secondary/supporting characters instead.
Line 17:
Some styles have become so common that they've earned their own tropes:
 
* '''[[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]'''
* '''[[Big Ol Unibrow]]'''
* '''[[Disembodied Eyebrows]]'''
Line 24:
 
Not related to either [[Oddly Visible Eyebrows]] or the [[Fascinating Eyebrow]].

Line 81:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The [[Big Bad]] from ''[[Tekkon Kinkreet]]''.
* In ''[[One Piece]]'', Sanji's right eyebrow is not only swooped, but twirly. We do not ever see his left eyebrow -- [[Peek -a -Bangs|or eye, for that matter]].
** {{spoiler|As of the timeskip his other eye is revealed... it swirls on the end that is near his nose making a @_ @_ face.}}
* [http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/6/36505.jpg Inspector Runge] from ''[[Monster (Anime)|Monster]]''.

== [[Web Original]] ==
* A popular Rule63 version of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Rainbow Dash]] named [http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/277191_239367852761730_5993599_n.jpg Rainbow Blitz] has these.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
Line 125:
* Gustavo Ragetta and Keith Gandor from ''[[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano]]!''
* Gaara from ''[[Naruto]]'' doesn't have any. Probably to make him look unnerving. His father, the Fourth Kazekage, didn't either.
** Zabuza ''usually'' has eyebrows, except in [[Off -Model|a few scenes]] in the anime, but they're incredibly thin and short, which was enough for Naruto to call him "eyebrowless freak" a couple times.
** The Second Mizukage didn't have any either, which he claims are a sign of charisma.
* L doesn't have any in ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]''; this was carried over in the live action movies, though it's not that noticeable until he goes outside into the wind. The manga artist said it was intended to make him look "dead-eyed." A couple of minor characters (like Ide) are also browless, but for no good reason.
Line 153:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Cheetara from ''[[Thunder Cats]]''. Or at least they're completely hidden by her facial markings. Some of the villains as well - Tugmug (or possibly they're hidden in the black circles around his eyes), Slythe and Vultureman of the mutants (of course, neither of them are mammals, so lack of hair is to be expected), and Mumm-ra.
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'', although some like Milhouse have [[Big Ol' Eyebrows|huge eyebrows.]]
* Henry and June on ''[[Ka Blam]]!''.
 
Line 172:
* Similarly to the above example, [http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7099/41929937480445f6c924o.jpg Paradox] from the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh Tenth Anniversary Movie]]''.
* Hughes from ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' has ''[http://www.onemanga.com/Fairy_Tail/171/07/ arrows]'' for eyebrows.
* Raimon "Monta" Taro of ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'' has your standard [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]], except for the fact that they somehow go through ''over'' his hairline in Captain Crunch-like fashion.
* Hoover Kippenburg from the ''[[Area 88]]'' manga has extremely arched eyebrows.
 
Line 193:
* Everyone on ''[[Total Drama Island]]'' has a different set of [[Unusual Eyebrows]], ranging from dots, to straight lines, to unibrows, to dashes, to barely visible curls to [[Murder Arson and Jaywalking|perfect arcs]].
* [[Innocent Aliens|Starfire]] from ''[[Teen Titans (Animation)|Teen Titans]]'' has very strange ovals for eyebrows, as do other Tamaraneans.
* In ''[[Aladdin (Disney)|Aladdin]]'', [[Evil Chancellor|Jafar]] has...very bizarre eyebrows; they're extremely thin and arched beyond the point of belief. (Iago has nearly matching ones, which may be even weirder, because, well, ''[[Non -Mammalian Hair|he's a parrot]].'')
* Before there was ''[[Total Drama Island]]'', there was ''[[The Pirates of Dark Water]]'', with a similar array.
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' gives us [[Well -Intentioned Extremist|Jet]] and his eyebrows; shaped like long, skinny tildes whose curves are slightly pointed. They're difficult to describe - [[media:jet-avatar.jpg|you almost have to see them]] [http://avatarthelastairbenderonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Jet.png to believe them] - and the completely unexplained contrast between him and every single other character on the show has led to his eyebrows becoming a [[Memetic Mutation]] within the fandom.
