History Main / SignificantGreeneyedRedhead

* Gaige is your [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot mad scientist cyborg teen]] [[PreOrderBonus Pre-order]]/[[DownloadableContent DLC]] from ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'', surprisingly capable in taking out just as many bandits as a [[MusclesAreMeaningless seasoned veteran who recently got kicked out of the military]]. Oh, and she sawed her own arm off out of doing a science fair project.
* The main character of ''VideoGame/StarFox'' is a green-eyed red fox named Fox [=McCloud=].

* Axel in ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' is a rare male example. He also gets Teardrop Tattoos. For significance, he has the most influence on the plot in his debut game outside of the actual villain and resisted every attempt by the development team to kill him off. [[spoiler: He is now a major character with a keyblade and his importance is near MICKEY MOUSE's level]]

* Downplayed with Hiccup from ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon''. He has auburn-brunette hair, while both of his parents have brighter red hair (though in the second movie, his mother's hair looks browner).

* The titular protagonist of ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' has Green Eyes in the 2009 incarnation.

* Mistress Sixx from ''Webcomic/Collar6'' is another lesbian love interest to the protagonist.

%%* Shelley Winters from ''Webcomic/ScaryGoRound''.
%%* Meta example: Ere D. Nust in ''JustForFun/TVTropesTheWebcomic''.
%%* Beth from ''Webcomic/TheOtherGreyMeat''.
%%* Ginny, the mistress of the brothel Red Herring from ''Webcomic/NoSongsForTheDead''.

* Adele of ''Webcomic/AgentsOfTheRealm'' is a dyed redhead, but she's the first friend Norah makes on the campus and one of the Agents.
%%* Babs from ''Lost In Confusion''.

%%* Wren from ''Webcomic/RadioSilence''.
* Tegan from ''Webcomic/{{Plume}}'', a green-eyed, red-haired HookerWithAHeartOfGold who gives Corrick and Vesper clues where to find Dom and later joins the main ensemble.

* ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'': Rose in the miniseries ''ComicBook/WolverineOrigin'', who is intended as a "proto-Jean Grey" in Wolverine's story, just as Dog is a "proto-Sabretooth".

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidIIIArielsBeginning'': Queen Athena, whose red hair is very relevant for her physical resemblance to Ariel.

* Kvothe, the main character of Patrick Rothfuss' "Literature/TheKingkillerChronicle" series, notably has striking green eyes and "flame-red" hair. Especially notable because red hair is quite rare in the world of the books, and because the green of his eyes changes shade depending on his emotions.

* ''Literature/TheCrimsonShadow'': Katerin, Luthien's lover initially who he's forcibly separated from and ends up with in the end following a relationship with another wowan, has these looks. She is a main character.

* ''Literature/TheCrimsonShadow'': Katerin, Luthien's lover initially who he's forcibly separated from and ends up with in the end following a relationship with another wowan, has these looks. She is a major supporting character.

* ''ComicBook/TheFlash'' has [[SidekickGraduationsStick the third Flash]] [[Characters/TheFlashWallyWest Wally West]].
* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
** [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]] is one of the original members of the team, the love interest of [[Characters/MarvelComicsCyclops Cyclops]], and took center stage in what is arguably the franchise's best known story, ''ComicBook/TheDarkPhoenixSaga''.
** Also Jean's daughter from an alternate future, [[Characters/XMen80sMembers Rachel Summers]] (though sometimes, they're blue, like her father's), and her clone, [[Characters/MarvelComicsMadelynePryor Madelyne Pryor]].
** Also [[Characters/GenerationHope Hope Summers]], a very important player in the X-Men franchise who obviously takes after Jean.
** Fongji Wu, a mixed-race Tibetan girl and the previous bearer of both the Phoenix Force and the Comicbook/IronFist mantle.
** [[Characters/MarvelComicsRogue Rogue]] was occasionally colored with just straight-up red hair with green eyes, especially during her most popular years in the '90s, but did eventually move to brown.
** Banshee, as an Irish CaptainEthnic, pairs wild light orange hair with bright green eyes.
* [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane Watson]] from ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' is the love interest of Peter Parker, has been a supermodel, and is known for striking good looks, as opposed to Gwen Stacy's more traditional GirlNextDoor appearance (despite MJ being the literal girl next door).
* ComicBook/{{Batwoman}} / Kate Kane, the main character of her own series, whose coloration, especially her red hair, is starkly emphasized against dark and bleak Gotham.
* ''ComicBook/SheHulk'': Lyra, daughter of Thundra and the [[Characters/MarvelComicsBruceBanner Hulk]], combines this with green skin.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' comics:
** Two major characters meet this description. One is [[Characters/SupermanSupportingCast Lana Lang]], his childhood best friend, confidante, and first love (and who briefly acted as a surrogate mother to his cousin, Supergirl). The other is {{archenemy}} [[Characters/SupermanLexLuthor Lex Luthor]], who has envious green eyes and flaming red eyebrows as an adult, and possessed a full head of red hair as a teenager.
** In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' series ''ComicBook/SupergirlCosmicAdventuresInThe8thGrade'', Lena Thorul is the green-eyed, red-haired main character's best friend and mad scientist.. Also the Lex's sister in most of continuities. In the Post-Crisis universe, a daughter of Lex Luthor went by Lena (before ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'' retconned her out of existence)... although in this case her green eyes may have indicated that she was connected to [[Characters/SupermanBrainiacCharacter Brainiac]].
** Storyline ''ComicBook/TheThirdKryptonian'' has Karsta Wor-Ul, who has green-eyes, and flaming orange locks when she was younger.
** Rendll, one of the major villains in ''ComicBook/{{Crucible}}'' storyline, has flaming red hair and green irises.
* Caitlin Fairchild from ''ComicBook/Gen13'' is this physically as well as usually personality-wise (though she can be a FieryRedhead when it comes to protecting the others).
* [[Characters/BatmanPoisonIvy Poison Ivy]], whose coloration not only emphasizes her seductive qualities, but also seems more dangerous and earthy.
* [[Characters/TeenTitansStarfire Starfire]], with [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation golden skin]]. Note that while it's true that Starfire has green eyes, that doesn't mean she has normal eyes with green irises... it means her eyes are ''[[MonochromaticEyes solid]]'' green.
* [[Characters/WonderWomanAllies Artemis]] is a major player with ludicrously long red locks and bright green eyes.
* Leetah and her daughter Ember, as well as Redlance and his daughter Tyleet, in ''ComicBook/ElfQuest''. Notable because Leetah and Ember are both dark-skinned. Averted with Kaslen in Hidden Years, as she turned out to have no special significance to the plot.
%%* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibles'': Mezmerella.

* Delirium from ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'' is this on occasion. She can change her hair color/length at will (but mostly it happens by accident), though it usually has some red in it and is fully red at least once. Usually has one green and one blue eye, though when she composes herself and behaves seriously they are the same color.
* Aphrodite in the "Adventures in Olympus" arc of ''ComicBook/{{Flare}}'', notable in that the most beautiful person to exist has this combination of color, and is in fact often portrayed as a redhead in art, especially Pre-Raphaelite and Neoclassicism.
* Rose in the ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'' miniseries ''Origin'', who is intended as a "proto-Jean Grey" in Wolverine's story, just as Dog is a "proto-Sabretooth".
* ComicBook/AngelLove, the main character of the eponymous comic book series.
* The titular heroine of ''ComicBook/AlbedoErmaFelnaEDF'' is a ''non-human'' example of this, as she have red hair (technically reddish-brown, as the author is color-blind), green eyes and ''[[BeastMan brown fur]]''.
* ComicBook/RichardDragon is a redhead with green eyes whose headlined a couple of series and played an important role in the martial arts training of many heroes in the DCU.

* ''ComicBook/SheHulk'': Lyra, daughter of Thundra and the [[Characters/IncredibleHulkBruceBanner Hulk]], combines this with green skin.

It's more often applied to women than it is to men, and is almost always either found as a trait of [[RedIsHeroic the hero]] or [[HeroesWantRedheads the hero's]] {{Love Interest|s}}. They're likely to be a FieryRedhead as green eyes often connote a [[HotBlooded similar kind of personality]]. If ElementalPowers apply, they're probably PlayingWithFire. To qualify for this trope, it's important that:

** [[EvilIsSexy Demona]], one of the main antagonists, though ordinarily black-eyed like most gargoyles, qualifies [[spoiler:when in human form]].

** Creator/DominicMonaghan

* ''WesternAnimation/AllHailKingJulien'': Since all of the lemurs in the [[Franchise/{{Madagascar}} franchise]] are generally the same colors and indistinguishable, Clover's bright red fur and green eyes (Despite being an AnimalGenderBender, since females of her species are usually grey) are important in making her stand out as an important character.

* The TitleCharacter of ''Webcomic/CucumberQuest'', destined to save the world and thus rather significant for its continuous survival.

* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': Reynir. When the LittleStowaway that ended up with the main cast thanks to a ForWantOfANail chain of events happens to be unknowingly packing the magic skills needed to counter an unforeseen ForbiddenZone-exclusive threat, those features are definitely deserved.
* Ruth, from ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'' is [[SuddenEyeColour revealed to have green eyes]] to compliment her red hair after a traumatic event that humanizes her to her Love Interest.

The TropeCodifier is Irish actress Creator/MaureenOHara, who got big right when color film was introduced. Her distinct red hair and green eyes led to her being dubbed "The Queen of Technicolor." She also cemented this trope as the PhenotypeStereotype for [[{{Oireland}} Irish]] people as a whole, even though this hair/eye combo is only slightly less rare in Ireland than everywhere else. Also, don't be surprised if such a character is [[RedHeadInGreen dressed in green]] as well.

* [[AristocratsAreEvil Evil Chilean landowner]], Catalina de los Ríos y Lisperguer, also known as "La Quintrala" for her flaming red hair (possibly for the ''quintral'', a type of parasitic flowering plant endemic to Chile) (1604-1665). She is infamous for her cruelty to the tenants on her estates in and around Santiago and eventually enough evidence linked her to forty known murders, [[KarmaHoudini but she was never charged or convicted due to her wealth]]. Of Spanish, German, and local [[Inca]] ancestry, she was described as [[TheVamp tall and beautiful]], with pale skin, [[EvilRedhead flame-red hair]], and piercing green eyes.
