* DarkAndTroubledPast: Lets see... lost his mother, then his father, to Rohirric raiders, then his sister, the only person left who cared for him as part of the [[DealWithTheDevil pact the Dunlending Chiefs made with Saruman to create his army of Uruk-hai]]. His childhood nicknames were 'son of a bitch' and 'half-breed', and people routinely beat him up, sometimes trying to kill him while he fended for himself. He went looking for his sister by joining Saruman's forces and is implied to have killed his first man somewhere between the ages of 13 and 15, certainly by 15, then nearly died due to poisoning, [[spoiler: then found his sister alive but having spent the last few years being raped by Wormtongue.]] Really, it's a wonder the poor boy's sane.

** BadassAbnormalBadassAbnormal: in one crossover with the Buffyverse, he took on Buffy and Faith. While he got schooled in hand to hand, he kicked their asses with swords. Justified by the fact that most of their fighting style is based on hand to hand and Emrys' powers are basically [[spoiler: those of a Slayer on [[TheDresdenFiles crack and an IV of Red Bull]]]].

Hair of Gold isn\'t just about being blonde; male characters need to be noble, chaste, knightly, etc. and female characters need to be sweet, wholesome, pretty, innocent, etc. This entry lacks the context necessary to qualify.
