Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:

==Examples that are not yet sorted by game genre into subpages==
* [[Sly Cooper]]'s Carmelita
* Sonic the Hedgehog's blue hair (or spines/quills, as it were), Amy Rose's pink hair, Big and Blaze the Cat's purple hair, Scourge's formerly blue, now GREEN hair and almost every single echidna having red hair in the Archie Comics, the list goes on.
* In ''[[
** ''Battle Network'''s sequel series, ''[[Mega Man Star Force
*** Picking on Misora's relatively normal (color notwithstanding) hair when [http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/DrkX-kun/ryuusei/episode%2024%20and%2025/1175298238357591f.jpg Twin-Drill Luna]-iinchou is right over there?
*** The third game gives us Eos and Queen, who have matching shades of actual blue hair, and Heartless, who sports a pink 'do.
** And ''[[
*** Well, somewhat justified with Grey, Prometheus, and Pandora, as they're not humans.
*** And Ashe is only part human, as everyone in ZX who isn't explicitly a reploid is a cyborg. Pure humans have apparently gone extinct by this point.
*** Albert has two hair colors in a different way than other people. He has teal hair in his Sage Trinity body, but his "real body" has freaking magenta.
** ZX aside, the main universe is actually pretty sensible about this. The original ''[[Mega Man (
*** The ''X''-series is a little more...varied. From ''Command Mission'', we have Nana, who has pink hair with a single white bang, Scarface, who personifies this trope with light-blue spiky long hair, and the seafoam green-haired Marino. Dynamo from ''X5'' and ''X6'', who personifies this trope with an aqua blue hair. Lumine from ''X8'', who has purple hair that is styled in a mix between whatever Tron from ''Legends'' has going on plus an emo hair fringe, and also from X8 is ''Layer'' with purple hair AND Pallete, who has blonde hair with pink stripes in an...[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/a/a5/MMX8Pallette.png unexplainable style]. Axl from ''X7''/''X8''/''CM'' has pretty normal hair normally, but when he uses his "white mode" in ''X8'', it turns purple (to reflect an implied connection to Lumine). And amongst other modes is any of Zero's other forms who have a lighter shade of blonde to them.
*** Justified since they're all [[Ridiculously
* [[Elemental War of Magic]] - the player can pick any colour for hair for their Sovereign.
* The works of [[Key Visual Arts]] would fall under "improbable", but there is always a small amount of characters with odd colours: [[Kanon|Nayuki and Akiko]] (purple), [[AIR
* ''[[Advance Wars]]: Days of Ruin'' has, despite its generally more realistic tone, a blue-haired and several teal-haired characters. A redhead too, but at least that's a possible color in real life, if rare. Most characters stay in the realistic range, but it's still a third of the playable cast. {{spoiler|All of these characters are "clones" of the same character, however that works. (We're talking multiple genders here, people.) Not that that really explains anything, but still...}}
* ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' has lots and lots of strange hair colours to the point that Leaf (the main character in ''Thracia 776'') having brown hair is noteworthy, this is somewhat lampshaded in the ''Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn'', where Ike and Michiah are always identified by their hair colour (Blue and Silver respectively, Michiah even has the title "Silver Haired Maiden").
Line 24 ⟶ 27:
** Truth be told, the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' series tend to alternate between having a traditional blue-haired protagonist in one game and one with a different hair color in the next. Marth (from ''Shadow Dragon'' and ''Mystery of the Emblem''), Sigurd and Celice (from ''Genealogy of Holy War''), Hector (from ''The Sword of Flame''), and Ike (from ''Path of Radiance'') all have blue hair, while Alm and Celica (from ''Gaiden''), Roy (from ''The Sword of Seal''), Lyn and Eliwood (from ''The Sword of Flame''), Erika and Ephraim (from ''The Sacred Stones''), and Micaiah (from ''Radiant Dawn'') are all exceptions.
* Subverted with a deadpan kind of hilarity in ''[[Digital Devil Saga]]:'' the girl who fell from the sky is instantly recognizable and keeps the characters in a kind of awe with her bizarre ''black'' hair and ''brown'' eyes. Fluorescent-red-haired Heat, purple-haired Argilla, and green-haired Gale simply can't understand how a human could have such a strange hair colour.
* ''[[
** This may be a case of [[Fridge Brilliance]] when you consider the fact Tethe'alla is said to have a larger population of Elves and Half-Elves thanks to the presence of the elven city of Heimdall. With a much larger portion of the population being elves or half-elves, there's a higher chance for the occurrence of interracial relationships and offsprings (especially with the high rate of ''half''-elves running around) - thus introducing odd hair colors more and more into the human gene pool as the generations go on as compared to Sylvarant.
** In ''[[Tales of Symphonia
** ''[[Tales
** ''[[Tales of Hearts
* Even though the ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'' series takes place in a fairly realistic universe, no one seems to feel the need to comment on the hair colors of Franziska, April, Redd, or Lisa Basil (metallic blue, pink, purple, and electric blue, respectively). While Redd and April arguably could've dyed theirs, and Lisa's could just be part of [[Robot Girl|her gimmick]], Franziska's hair really has no explanation. And that's not even getting into some [[Anime Hair|hair ''styles'']] that seem to completely defy the laws of physics... Vera Misham had blue hair both as a young child ''and'' an adult.
* A large majority of ''[[Disgaea]]'' characters, demon or not, have absurd hair colors ranging from blue to white to neon pink.
* While [[The Legend of Zelda|Link]]'s hair has historically fluctuated between red, brown and blond in his various appearances, his hair was inexplicably ''pink'' in ''[[A Link to The Past]]''.
Line 40 ⟶ 43:
* Falling somewhere between all examples is Ritz from ''Final Fantasy Tactics Advance'', a girl who has crimson hair, even in the "real" world. It's a dye-job, as her hair appears to be albino (pale lavender) despite the rest of her.
* In ''[[Elite Beat Agents]]'', Agent Foxx has silver hair. Meanwhile, Cap White has pink hair...and she's a ''white blood cell''. Also, Morris seems to have purple hair, Derek has red hair, and J's is orange. Don't get me started on [[Anime Hair|J's hair ''style''...]]
* Humans in the freeware (and soon to be WiiWare) game ''[[
* The Servants in ''[[Fate/stay
** Sakura is actually a subversion, because purple is {{spoiler|not her natural hair colour}}, and the reason behind this is a big part of the plot of the Heaven's Feel route of the game.
* Ciel in ''[[Tsukihime]]''.
** Ciel has bluish black hair, predominantly black if you look carefully. In text, meaning according to the author, she has black hair. Dunno what color her dad had, but her hair color is probably evident because {{spoiler|her mom was Asian.}}
* ''[[Persona 3]]'''s blue-haired Main Character, complete with [[Peek-a-Bangs]].
** His look-a-like in ''[[
** Other ''Persona 3'' characters with impossible hair colors include Fuuka, who has teal-green hair, and Jin, who also has blue hair.
** All of the major characters in the Japanese version of the original ''[[Persona]]'' had normal hair colors -- Ayase was explicitly stated to dye hers and Brown is supposed to have brown hair, like he appears to everywhere ''but'' his in-game character portrait -- but Maki (Mary) was given pink/primary-color-red hair in the US version because they thought it would make it seem ''less'' Japanese. Did we mention that Atlus USA's translators at the time were a load of brainless idiots? [[Futurama|They were fired and badly beaten as a result. Several died from their injuries. Then, they were ground into a fine powder.]]
Line 57 ⟶ 60:
* Optional for ''[[The Sims]] 3''. You can now give your sim exotic colors, with exotic highlights. Give them a head full of rainbow if you like.
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' isn't immune to this. We have [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|White Haired Pretty Boys]] (Riku, {{spoiler|all of Xenahort's variations}}, and, while not relevant to the plot, [[Final Fantasy|Sephiroth]]). Zexion, Saix, and Aqua all have blue hair. And last but not least, Marluxia has pink hair!
* The Gria race from ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics
* Every. Single. ''[[Final Fantasy|Final. Fantasy.]]'' game. Sure, some of them aren't human--but then, others of them ''are'', and plenty of the other nonhumans have perfectly normal hair colors.
** The graphics of the original game don't allow for much in the way of zaniness (with the exception of the Red Mage's white hair and, in early versions, the Thief's blue hair), but Amano's original artwork and FMVs in the later remakes of the game have the Warrior/Knight character with silver/white/grey hair.
** From ''[[
** Luneth in the DS remake of ''[[
** Cecil and Edge from ''[[
*** Ceodore in ''[[Final Fantasy IV:
** In ''[[
** Terra from ''[[
*** On the topic of Terra and her green hair depiction, her overworld sprite also resembled Bulma from [[
** ''[[
** Ultimecia in ''[[

** Then there is Seymour, one of the villains of ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' , who has blue hair on account of being non-human. However, the perfectly-human Yunalesca also has...long silvery-white hair ([[Overly Long Gag|are you noticing a trend here?]])
*** In ''[[Final Fantasy X
** In ''[[
*** Penelo's concept art shows that she was originally going to have pink hair rather than her current blond.
** In ''[[
*** Yuj at least has an excuse, since he mentions getting 'a whole new look' ( a reference to how the original demo used a generic NPC, since his design wasn't finished yet), it's likely dyed.
** ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]'' gives Marquis Elmdore some Sephiroth-hair, though his age (39) means that it might just be due to natural aging...well, if he's aging really, really badly. The final boss, Ultima, has silver hair, though, and so does her human vessel, Saint Ajora.
** Selkies, a race in the Crystal Chronicles series, have this as one of their defining features. The only "normal" hair colors among them are red and blonde.
** In ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' The Tarutaru, are the only playable race with the option of blue and green hair. The Mithra, Elvaan, Galka, and aforementioned Tarutaru have the option of white and grey hair. The Hume race only features natural hair colors. Outside of PC's there's Prishe, an Elvaan with lavender hair.
* While there are many characters in the ''[[Jak and Daxter]]'' universe with 'normal' hair colors such as brown, blond, and grey, many others sport shades far more exotic. Often overlaps with [[Multicolored Hair]]. Some examples: main character Jak's hair is green and yellow, Keira's is green and blue, and [[No Name Given|the sculptor]]'s is purple.
* A number of characters in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' games have oddly colored hair. Steven, for example, has white-silver hair, despite seemingly being in his early 20s. Brendan also appears to have black and white hair, though that's very much [[Nice Hat|debatable]].
** There's also Kris, Dawn, and Lucas, all of whom appear to have blueish hair (light blue for Kris, dark for Dawn and Lucas).
** N and Ghetsis have green hair. Ghetsis' seems to be going grey from age, too.
* The cast of the ''[[
** Sanae Kochiya, a human who, until recently, lived in the outside world, has green hair.
** Marisa Kirisame, despite being a full blood Japanese, has blonde hair ([[Evil Redhead|or red in the first game]]).
Line 92 ⟶ 95:
* As a general rule, most examples of this in the ''Breath of Fire'' series fit as Plausible Examples--the one that does ''not'' would be that of Ryu 1/8192 in ''Dragon Quarter'' as he starts out as a normal, actually fairly low-caste human ''with dark blue hair''. (And yes, [[Word of God]] explicitly states this Ryu ''was'' meant to be a normal human.)
* ''[[Mitadake High]]'', being a game which gloriously bases itself on all manners of Anime stereotypes, lampshades this by having the aliases of most of the characters be their hair colour (such as "The Blue Haired Boy" or "The Long Pink Haired Girl"). In fact, the only two that aren't are "The Boy With Goggles" and "The Boy with Sunglasses" (which are other stereotypes anyway). The hair colours are: Blue, Red, Green, Orange, Purple, Brown, Black, Silver, Grey, White, and Blonde.
* ''[[Grandia (
* ''[[Yo-Jin-Bo]]'' has Muneshige, Bo, Kasumimaru, and one of the unnamed ninja with blue hair. Yo's aqua hair could also count.
* Princess Kaguya and the March Hare from ''[[A
* In ''[[Baten Kaitos]]'', Kalas and Sagi have blue hair, Lyude has fire-engine-red hair, and Savyna has purple hair (that's blue in the prequel for some reason). Some NPCs also have weird hair colors.
* [[Tomba]]'s pink hair. It was part of the American ad campaign.
* A good portion of characters from ''[[Infinite Space]]'' have implausible hair colors; some characters (including [[The Hero]]) has white or gray hair, the main character's sister has green hair, and then a few others have blue hair. While this may be justified with the fact that {{spoiler|human race had been modified by the Overlords long time ago, and Yuri and his sister are [[Artificial Human|Artificial Humans]]}}, that still doesn't explain the rest with natural hair colors.
* It will be easier to list the characters from ''[[Lux
* ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' is all over this trope, though the champion has to be ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]: Joker''. The player character has wild, spiky gray hair and is antagonized by [[The Rival|a blue-haired girl named Solitaire]]. In fact, blue hair is practically an [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]] in the DQM:J world, since [[Only Six Faces|many female NPCs]] are sporting it. In [[Dragon Quest IX]], since you can customize the appearance of your party members, blue and green just had to be among the hair color options.
* Kit Ballad of ''[[Blade Kitten]]'' has pink hair for no explicable reason.
Line 104 ⟶ 107:
* In ''[[Children of Mana]]'', Ferrik and Tamber have orange and green hair, respectively.
* In ''[[Telefang]] 2'', the protagonist, Kyou, has blue hair.
* In ''[[
** And then there are [[Amazing Technicolor Population|the people of Prox]], who are all Mars Adepts but have an absolute rainbow of possible hair colors, justified since the [[Pointy Ears]] and scales make it pretty clear they're not entirely human. Beastfolk arguably fit the same terms.
* There's purple hair, blue/white hair, green hair, orange hair, and purple black hair in [[Canvas 2]], but somehow, only Elis' blond hair is noteworthy.
* Milked for all it's worth in the first three entries of the ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]]'' series. Virtually all impossible hair colors are used but the white one, along with realistic ones.
* Becoming a growing trend in ''[[Harvest Moon]]'' games. The first game had only the pink-haired Nina (and the second, her [[Identical Grandson|Identical Granddaughter]] Popuri), and the latest installment features pink (Luna), magenta (Selena), teal (Phoebe, Harvest Goddess), lime-green (Barbara), blue (Candace, Luke in some lights), violet (Julius), AND White (Witch Princess).
* Substitute hair with fur in ''[[Star Fox (
** There are also Katt ([[Exactly What It Says
** Falco is actually a pheasant, according to Shigeru Miyamoto.
* Lucca of ''[[
** Also Schala has blue hair in ''[[
** Many of the people of Zeal have blue hair. However, it is suggested that this is because they dyed their hairs blue as a sign of their status, which would also explain why it would revert to white in Schala's game.

* In ''[[Sword of the Stars]]'', some Human avatars show exotic hair colours such as pink and orange.

* In both the ''[[Baten Kaitos]]'' games, the protagonist has some shade of blue hair; Kalas' is bright, sky-blue, while Sagi's hair is closer to a shade of teal.
