* Akane Karasuma, aka Sailor Lead Crow, 5th season villain/ QuirkyMiniBossSquad member from ''SailorMoon''. As she's an Alien, it's impossible to tell if this combo is the norm for her people. The only other people from her world are Phobos and Deimos, who aren't this.
** Also, Elza Gray, a one-episode character from the ''SailorMoon'' anime. She was an old rival and friend of Haruka's and [[spoiler: introduced her and Michiru to each other]].

* "F***ing" Oyuki-chan from ''Comicbook/{{Empowered}} has light brown skin and red-orange, despite being one of the few Asian characters . She's tomboyish and free-spirited, but being raised in a ninja clan since early childhood has made her highly disciplined with a strict code of honor. She's foul-mouthed and socially-inappropriate to the point of creepiness.

* Kougaiji from ''{{Saiyuki}}'' is a [[NobleDemon noble bad guy]] and seems to deliberately be in color contrast to his [[EvilOverlord Evil Empress]] stepmother, Gyokomen Koshu (who is pale skinned with green hair). Possibly to emphasize that their personalities are complete opposites - Kougaiji is devoted to his nakama, while Koshu is prone to killing her followers on a whim. Rather than having a fiery personality, he's matched to the element and uses mostly [[ElementalPowers fire attacks]].
