* [[Myth/NorseMythology Thor]] is an OlderThanPrint example. In spite of the [[Franchise/{{Marvel}} image you might have of him]], Thor is explicitly described as having red hair and beard.

* Caylee Hammack's "Redhead" (featuring famous ginger RebaMcEntire) is all about this trope, describing a redheaded girl (inspired by Hammack's cousin) who drives her parents up the wall with the chaos she brings:

[[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Please do not confuse this with]] a redhead being [[PlayingWithFire literally fiery]], or having [[FlamingHair literal fiery head]], although these tropes may overlap. And a red who's literally fiery does have their [[ElementalHair hair color fit their elemental powers]]. See also RedIsViolent (in this case, the hair color).

* Kevan, the Earl of Io from ''VisualNovel/{{Long Live The Queen}}''. His character portrait has a perpetual scowl and he's out for blood in both of his in-game appearances.

Although [[TruthInTelevision real redheads]] can have tempers like everyone else, [[HairTriggerTemper this trait is exaggerated in fiction]], so [[Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease no real life examples are listed here]]. Also, they can have [[SignificantGreenEyedRedhead green eyes and this association is also exaggerated in fiction]].

A Fiery Redhead is a red-haired character who is strong, HotBlooded, outgoing, usually outspoken, and (if a love interest) [[AlwaysFemale often female]]. She has a big personality and she's not afraid to use it. Whatever you do, don't get on her bad side, or there will be hell to pay. (Especially if powers of {{personality|Powers}} and/or {{element|al Powers}}s are present: she likes PlayingWithFire. Thus, in a FourTemperamentEnsemble, expect her to be Choleric.) She will be unladylike unless it's the case of a redheaded SpiritedYoungLady. She might be OneOfTheBoys, a {{tomboy}} or a [[TheLadette lad-ette]]. [[HeroesWantRedheads Heroes do like redheads]] after all.

* Chase from ''VisualNovel/War13thDay'' both plays into this trope and subverts it. [[spoiler:The game uses [[UnreliableNarrator unreliable narrators]], who see him portrayed this way. However, in the Valentine and April Fools' special, he's more {{Adorkable}} than anything else. But, of course, that's only assuming his depiction is even accurate there...]]

* [[EnforcedTrope Enforced]] in ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' : Fire-Aspected Dragon-Blooded Exalts' hair and skin slowly become reddish as they age, though particulary [[SuperBreedingProgram well-bred]] young ones will also display it. They also, of course, have [[PlayingWithFire fire powers.]]

* Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} O'Shaunessy, the ginger brawler of the Global Pro Wrestling Alliance...but don't let him hear you call him ginger, unless you want to brawl.

* Kiera Hogan, with less emphasis on the redhead and more on the fire. Her hair, nails and tights are all colored to look like they're burning. But she does have that baby {{face}} fire.[[/folder]]

Compare HeroesWantRedheads, DarkSkinnedRedhead, EvilRedhead, RoseHairedSweetie, RedHeadedStepchild, RedheadsAreUncool, RedIsHeroic. In anime, could be a ShanaClone. If you have a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead in close proximity (i.e. in the main cast), it's BlondeBrunetteRedhead. Contrast ShyBlueHairedGirl for RedOniBlueOni and EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette for the realistic opposite hair color and personality.

In addition to this, it extends even into ancient texts from Babylonian and Scandinavian Oral Historian. In the ''Literature/ProseEdda'', Odin is depicted as blonde, green-eyed, cool, and calculating--while his son, Thor, is a redheaded, blue-eyed (something of an omen of war/perfection in Scandinavian culture) fire-breathing stereotypical Viking (the raiding kind) who treats Earth as a giant freshman mixer. Gilgamesh is also a Fiery Redhead with blue eyes whose duties include being a good precursor to Thor, for the most part--though with more reservation and a cooling trend near the end of his life (this makes both an eerie paradigm of Fiery Redheads at the creation of their respective people's writings). The whole "red-haired, blue-eyed" thing is [[RedOniBlueOni usually split in Japan between two people]].

* The redhead Helena Daphnotarthius, a cleric of the Immortal Valerias, in the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' ''Dawn of the Emperors'' boxed set. She was "fiery in anger, in romance, in the pursuit of things she wants." She wanted to live "life to its fullest and promote the questionable virtues of reckless abandon and thoughtless enjoyment".
