History Main / DarkSkinnedBlond

* Creator/HirohikoAraki, the author of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' is very fond of this trope, especially with villainous characters, with the likes of [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Wamuu]] from [[Manga/BattleTendency Part 2]], [[MagnetismManipulation Mariah]] from [[Manga/StardustCrusaders Part 3]], [[PaperMaster Terunosuke Miyamoto]] from [[Manga/DiamondIsUnbreakable Part 4]], [[{{Gayngster}} Tiziano]] from [[Manga/VentoAureo Part 5]], and [[SinisterMinister Pucci]] from [[Manga/StoneOcean Part 6]]. Vanilla Ice in Part 3 could also count, as he had white hair and dark skin in the manga and 1993 OVA but was [[AdaptationDyeJob switched to a brunette]] in the 2012 version.

* ''Manga/DetectiveConan''
** Tooru Amuro [[spoiler: (or better said, Rei Furuya]]) has dark skin and blond hair.
** Much earlier, a certain case involved four ''ganguro'' girls being attacked and ''severely'' beaten up by a mysterious person who sneaks behind them and hits them with clubs. [[spoiler: One of them sustains fatal injuries.]]

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': Sun is a deeply tanned man with very pale blond hair, who looks much darker when standing next to paler-skinned companions such as Blake, Weiss or Ruby. He comes from a desert origin, and has a very mischievious personality to go with his [[LittleBitBeastly monkey-heritage]]. He is therefore a fun-loving delinquent, prone to illegally stowing away on ships or stealing food just for the fun of it. As a result, he enjoys helping out Team RWBY whenever they're bending or breaking the rules to investigate the villains; as he tells the heroes: friends should always get other friends into trouble.

* ScaryBlackMan Bobby Jacks from ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' was an African-American with blonde hair. WordOfGod says that it's dyed.
%%* Roll in the Mega Ran video [[http://megaran.com/2010/03/here-we-go-again-video/ Here We Go Again]].

* "Sunglasses" from the WebOriginal/{{Creamsicle}} meme, a [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation seeming]] trashy bimbo with orange-tinted fake tan and bleached blonde hair.

* ''WebAnimation/{{HelluvaBoss}}'': Verosika Mayday's HumanDisguise is a dark skinned woman with long blonde hair.

* Creator/MaggieGyllenhaal goes blonde at one point in ''{{Sherrybaby}}''.

* In ''Film/ArtemisFowl,'' [[BattleButler Butler]] is played by black actor Nonso Anozie, but with white hair.

* There exists an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' in which Homer panics over the possibility of his father marrying Marge's mother, convinced that this will make their own marriage incest, and therefore their children will be subject to the "horrifying" consequences of inbreeding. He then envisions them as three realistically-drawn children with blond hair, tanned skin, five fingers, and blue eyes. His reaction? He runs off screaming in terror.

* Rex Tjin from ''Literature/AwakenTheStars''. He's of Singapore Chinese-Māori and Norwegian descent.

* Literature/{{Discworld}}:

* In Crawford Killian's ''Eyas'', this seems to be the most common coloring among the title character's adopted culture.

* Cadence Drake in Creator/HollyLisle's ''Hunting the Corrigan's Blood'', due to her mother's gene splicing as a political statement.

* Daenerys Targaryen of ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' has a vision of what her stillborn son Rhaego would have been like as an adult. He is described as tall and copper skinned like his father Khal Drogo, and with long platinum blond hair like hers.

* Captain Ayumi Inoue from Anime/{{Tsuritama}}, probably due to the fact that he's out on a fishing boat all day, exposed to sun and [[LighthairedSwimmer salt water]].

* In the ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' manga/''Brotherhood'' anime, the Ishvalans all have white hair, dark skin, and red eyes. In [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist the first anime adaptation]], the Ishbalans instead have black hair, but Scar's has turned white for some reason (strongly implied to be of traumatic origin).

* Kahlua from ''Manga/RosarioToVampire''. [[spoiler:She gets it from her mother]].

* ''ComicBook/JemAndTheHolograms'':

* Queen La from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTarzan''. According to WordOfGod, she is actually an Atlantean (the [[WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire Atlanteans in the Disneyverse]] also have this color scheme) living in Africa.
* [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/princess_yue.jpg Princess Yue]] from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' is a white-haired [[FantasyCounterpartCulture Inuk]], due to PowerDyesYourHair.

* Fierro from ''VideoGame/EternalEden'' as black skin and white hair, presumably to Foreshadow that [[spoiler:he is actually from the World of Shadows.]]

* Nao Nao, partner of the equally dark-skinned Sota, in ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou''. Of course, they're ganguro, and it makes sense, considering Shibuya is full of quirky fashions. The game's dialogue plays up her [[TheDitz ditziness]].

** From ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'', the female Swimmers are all Dark-Skinned Blondes, and both the protagonists can be, too, if you pick the darkest skin tone and let them dye their hair blonde at the hair salon.
** This can also be invoked in ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' if you pick one of the darker two skin tones and then dye their hair a light color at one of the salons.

* Introduced in "ComicBook/DCRebirth," the Jackson Hyde version of Aqualad has dark skin and blond hair, though unlike his Young Justice counterpart, his hair is dyed.
* In post-One More Day ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' comics, Harry Osborn's girlfriend, Lily Hollister.

** Artemis, whose mother is Asian, is blonde like her Caucasian father. [[RaceLift She's just white in the normal DCU]]. One of the writers got the idea . from a former classmate who was Asian and naturally blonde.

* Mahya Blythe of ''Anime/MaiOtome''. Laula Bianchi, from the same series, has dark skin and ''cyan'' hair.

* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': The {{magical girl}} Outrageous Lemon is a Black girl whose hair is bright yellow. In her case, this is because magical girls [[PowerDyesYourHair undergo a vivid change in hair color]] when they awaken their powers, which remains their natural color even while not transformed. Lemon's older sister, who is not a magical girl, is seen to have more naturally-colored hair.

* Timothy, one of the recurring original characters from the ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}''-based ''Webcomic/AndShineHeavenNow''. (WordOfGod says he's Turkish.)

* Minor character [[http://cheercomic.com/?date=2008-01-09 Tahlia]] from ''Webcomic/{{Cheer}}''.

* Gelasia in ''Webcomic/GhostsAmongTheWildFlowers'', although she doesn't seem to adhere to any of the standard character traits for it.

* The angel Sariel in ''[[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/paradis/paradis/series.php Paradis]]'' exhibits this.

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'''s [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=000730 Dr. Haught-Sheik]].

* Hoh from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod''.

* Nyneve from ''Webcomic/{{Witchy}}''.
* "WebComic/{{Xenospora}}" gives us an alien named Blunt Trauma who is one of these.

* Roll in the Mega Ran video [[http://megaran.com/2010/03/here-we-go-again-video/ Here We Go Again]].

* Steve "The Series/CrocodileHunter" Irwin had blond hair and a tan from all the time he spent outdoors in the wilderness.

Much in the same way that blonde hair and blue eyes have become the PhenotypeStereotype for Caucasian people, Dark-Skinned Blond is becoming--perhaps over more realistic choices--common for characters who are supposed to be of Indian or Indonesian descent. Blond hair and dark skin ''does'' occur frequently among children in the Aboriginal people of Australia and elsewhere in the South Pacific, [[http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2012/05/case-closed-blonde-melanesians-understood/ due to a genetic mutation]] which arose independently from the one which causes blond hair in people of European descent, but it usually darkens with age--see [[https://www.flickr.com/photos/83195059@N00/379849054/ here]] for a RealLife example.

%% Please avoid {Administrivia/Zero Context Example}}s. Every straight example must say that the person

* LADDER [[EvilChancellor Vice Chairman]] Aga Mbadi in ''Manga/BattleAngelAlita: Last Order''. With his buzz-cut, he's also (almost) a BaldBlackLeaderGuy.

* Tooru Amuro [[spoiler: (or better said, Rei Furuya]]) from ''Manga/DetectiveConan''.

* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'':
** Loran, the protagonist of ''Anime/TurnAGundam''. His hair is technically white, though. From the same series, Miashei and Guin are more straight examples.
** Dearka Elsman of ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Gundam SEED]]'', another male example. Ironically, he's the ''least'' exotic-looking of the Gundam pilots...

* ''Manga/HanaukyoMaidTeam La Verite''. Yashima Sanae was the lieutenant to Head Security maid Konoe Tsurugi. She was slender, with dark brown skin and white hair. There was no information given in the anime about her origin.

* Integra Hellsing of ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'', explained (in the first anime series) by her being half-Indian. Also, ChurchMilitant Alexander Anderson is one of these, and has his appearance {{Hand Wave}}d via his uncertain origin (although it is possible that he may simply have a tan). The fact that he speaks with a Scottish accent in the English versions just makes this more confusing.
** Averted in the manga, where Anderson has grey/silver hair.
* Minato Ōba from ''Manga/{{Hyakko}}''.
* Arisa from ''Manga/{{Imadoki}}''.
* Saji Genpou from ''Manga/IkkiTousen'', though he's definitely [[MagnificentBastard NOT]] ditzy. [[spoiler: In the anime, when he retakes his place as Ouin Shishi, he turns into a DarkSkinnedRedhead.]]

* Rikio Kamamoto of ''Anime/{{K}}'' has this combination.

* ''Manga/FairyTail'':

* Ikumi Mito, AKA "Nikumi" from ''Manga/FoodWars'' has short blond hair and stands out from the rest of the regular female characters as the only one with a darker skin tone. Flashbacks that show her as a child seem to imply it's natural for her.
** [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shokugeki_akira.jpg Hayama Akira]] also fits this to a degree, although his hair is actually silvery-white rather than blonde, but the trope still applies. Also note his bright green eyes.
