19Green-eyed redheads are one the rarest color combinations found in humanity (with the exception of some abnormalities), making a character with this combination highly conspicuous. The fact that red and green are [[RedGreenContrast complementary colors]] also makes for a visually striking appearance. Therefore, this trope is used as an easy way to distinguish an important, notable character visually.
20
21It'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 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:
22
23* The character is a major character.
24* The character is '''not''' in a context where there's a WorldOfTechnicolorHair.
25* The character's hair and eye colors must be ''intentional'' on the part of the work creator(s).[[note]]Mostly this means that live-action characters must have either been deliberately cast for their eye and hair color, or they must have artifically changed one or both for the purpose of the trope -- actors who ''just happen'' to have red hair and green eyes do exist, and don't count.[[/note]]
26* The character specifically has red hair and green eyes--that is to say, they have to be actual variations of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_red red]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_green green]] (including [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-green actual blue-greens]] in the latter case). [[labelnote:Important notes]]Since [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink pink]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magenta magenta]] are typically classified as separate colors from red (with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_pink their]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_magenta own]] shades, too), they don't count as "red" for our purposes. As for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color#Hazel hazel eyes]] (basically green coexisting with brown in the same iris, often with one as the dominant color), they could only count if they're '''clearly''' of the "dominantly green" sort. And yes, green hair and red eyes most definitely does '''not''' count.[[/labelnote]]
27
28The 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" in the media. 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.

30----
31!!Examples:
32
33[[foldercontrol]]
34
35[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
36* Lancerow Durell of ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'' isn't TheHero or a {{Love Interest|s}}, but he ''was'' Jamil Neate's {{Rival}} during the last war, an ex-Newtype, and an AntiVillain in the Space Revolutionary Army. He plays a very important part of the final arc [[spoiler:and ultimately switches to the heroes' side]].
37* In ''Manga/TheAncientMagusBride'', Chise Hatori is noted repeatedly for having this despite how implausible it is for someone of Japanese descent. This actually stands as a strong mark of her being a [[BarrierMaiden Sleigh Beggy,]] is the protagonist of the series, and easily makes her one of the most distinguishable characters amidst a cast of TheFairFolk and all sorts of individuals in the United Kingdom.
38%% Mr X of ''Anime/ArgentoSoma'', that manipulates everything from shadows.
39%%* Lavi from ''Manga/DGrayMan''.
40* Nakaba from ''Manga/DawnOfTheArcana'' is the protagonist. Her bright red hair causes her to be discriminated against and her green eyes turn red when she uses her powers. She's also in the middle of a love triangle between the romantic lead and her {{Childhood Friend|s}}.
41* ''Anime/GhostStories'': Main character Satsuki has this hair and eye color combo. Really director Noriyuki Abe [[AuthorAppeal seems to love this trope]] as he's also the director for the anime of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' mentioned below. Her neighbor Hajime clearly has a crush on her and is her ImpliedLoveInterest. Unrealistic hair colors only seems to be present with Satsuki's father, brother, and best friend (all purple-heads). All the other characters have varying shades of black and brown like normal Japanese people. Most eye colors are dark as well, so the heroine having unnatural-for-Asians red hair and green eyes most definitely makes her stand out visually (which is a good thing since background characters have a tendency to look alike).
42* The final major cyborg introduced in ''Manga/GunslingerGirl'', Petra, is one of these. Prior to being made a cyborg she looked very different though, far shorter and being a blue-eyed blonde.
43* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'s'' Pip Bernadotte, the leader of a group of mercenaries working for the Hellsing Organisation and the eventual Love Interest of Seras Victoria.
44* Gaara from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' has bright red hair and pale green eyes. He first appeared as Naruto's EvilCounterpart as Gaara also had a Tailed Beast sealed in him. He eventually undergoes a HeelFaceTurn due to ThePowerOfFriendship.
45* [[spoiler:Brief]] in ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'', whose red hair emphasizes his geeky qualities, and then, with the reveal of his eyes [[spoiler:emphasizes he is attractive]].
46* In ''Anime/PanzerWorldGalient'', Hilmuka has this combination of color of hair and eyes. She's one of the main characters and an important ally of [[TheHero Jordy]], teaching him to handle [[HumongousMecha Galient]] and sharing intelligence about the enemy.
47* Misty from ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' was the leading female for the Kanto and Johto arcs. She was often portrayed with blue eyes but since the leap to digital has been almost always consistently depicted as having green eyes. In the manga adaptation ''Manga/TheElectricTaleOfPikachu'' she was originally a [[AdaptationDyeJob brunette]] but was later redesigned more similarly to her anime design.
48* Misty in ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' is much less prominent but still counts. She is one of the major Kanto gym leaders and has unrequited feelings for Red.
49* Shirayuki, the protagonist of ''Manga/SnowWhiteWithTheRedHair'', has bright red hair and green eyes.
50* Youko Nakajima from ''Literature/TheTwelveKingdoms'' is the main character and her red hair[[labelnote:†]] (which gets redder when she goes to the titular Kingdoms, along with her eyes turning green)[[/labelnote]] marks her as different, so she is often harassed for it. [[spoiler:It also marks her as a ''taika'', someone who was meant to be in that world but was born on Earth by accident.]]
51* ''Anime/UruseiYatsura'': In the ''All-Stars'' anime, Shinobu is made into a green-eyed redhead. As Ataru's childhood friend and {{Love Interest|s}}, she's one of the main characters. However, she gradually loses her prominence as Ataru falls for Lum.
52* The protagonist of ''Manga/VenusVersusVirus'', Sumire, has dark red hair and green eyes. Her eyes turn [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] when she [[SuperpoweredEvilSide goes into Berserk mode]].
53* Kurama of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', at least in his human form, [[AdaptationDyeJob but only in the anime]]. The crimson hair/leaf-green eyes combination in this case is a warning [[BewareTheNiceOnes not to underestimate]] [[GuileHero him]], because, like his [[SomethingAboutARose roses]], he has [[TranquilFury thorns]]. It's also a hint at his nature as a [[AsianFoxSpirit demon fox]] as there are folk stories of red-headed green-eyed people actually being foxes in disguise and the shade of red being decidedly unnatural for a human.
54[[/folder]]
55
56[[folder:Audio Plays]]
57* ''AudioPlay/WereAlive'' has Samantha, Datu's love interest who, unfortunately, ended up on the floor of the Arena.
58[[/folder]]
59
60[[folder:Comic Books]]
61* ''ComicBook/AlbedoErmaFelnaEDF'': The titular heroine 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]]''.
62* ''ComicBook/AngelLove'': The titular character of the eponymous comic book series.
63* ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'':
64** ThirdOptionLoveInterest Cheryl Blossom is one of the few characters that consistently has colored eyes. Most characters have BlackBeadEyes.
65** Archie himself has green eyes in ''ComicBook/ArchieComics2015''. In the classic continuity he usually had blue eyes.
66* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': [[Characters/BatmanPoisonIvy Poison Ivy]], whose coloration not only emphasizes her seductive qualities, but also seems more dangerous and earthy.
67* ''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.
68* ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'': Leetah and her daughter Ember, as well as Redlance and his daughter Tyleet. 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.
69* ''ComicBook/{{Flare}}'': Aphrodite in the "Adventures in Olympus" arc, 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.
70* ''ComicBook/TheFlash'': [[SidekickGraduationsStick The third Flash]] [[Characters/TheFlashWallyWest Wally West]].
71* ''ComicBook/Gen13'': Caitlin Fairchild is this physically as well as usually personality-wise (though she can be a FieryRedhead when it comes to protecting the others).
72%%* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibles'': Mezmerella.
73* ''ComicBook/RichardDragon'': Richard Dragon 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.
74* ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'': Delirium 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.
75* ''ComicBook/SheHulk'': Lyra, daughter of Thundra and the [[Characters/MarvelComicsBruceBanner Hulk]], combines this with green skin.
76* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane Watson]] is the love interest of [[Characters/MarvelComicsPeterParker Peter Parker]], has been a supermodel, and is known for striking good looks, as opposed to [[Characters/MarvelComicsGwenStacy Gwen Stacy]]'s more traditional GirlNextDoor appearance (despite MJ being the literal girl next door).
77* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'':
78** 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.
79** 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]].
80** Storyline ''ComicBook/TheThirdKryptonian'' has Karsta Wor-Ul, who has green-eyes, and flaming orange locks when she was younger.
81** Rendll, one of the major villains in ''ComicBook/{{Crucible}}'' storyline, has flaming red hair and green irises.
82%%* ''ComicBook/TarotWitchOfTheBlackRose'': Tarot.
83* ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'': [[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.
84* ''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".
85* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'': [[Characters/WonderWomanAllies Artemis]] is a major player with ludicrously long red locks and bright green eyes.
86* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
87** [[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''.
88** 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]].
89** Also [[Characters/GenerationHope Hope Summers]], a very important player in the X-Men franchise who obviously takes after Jean.
90** Fongji Wu, a mixed-race Tibetan girl and the previous bearer of both the Phoenix Force and the Comicbook/IronFist mantle.
91** [[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.
92** Banshee, as an Irish CaptainEthnic, pairs wild light orange hair with bright green eyes.

95[[folder:Fan Works]]
96* Chloe Auriville from ''Fanfic/PrettyCurePerfumePreppy'' while in civilian form, though she is more sensible than passionate and is {{The Hero}}ine herself.
97* Assassin, adventuress and safari-savvy Johanna Smith-Rhodes, from the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' continuum [[Fanfic/NatureStudies fanfic]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5318396/1/Nature-Studies Nature Studies.]] She started life as a rather attitudinal "[[AmoralAfrikaner Sed-Efrrrrikan]]" with all the knobs of White Southern African-ness turned up to eleven. In [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11536013/1/Hyperemesis-gravidarum Hyperemesis Gravidarum]] by Creator/AAPessimal, she becomes proud mother to a daughter who promises to have Mother's red hair and green eyes. This daughter grows up in the fic ''Strandpiel''.
98* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has the posthumous (but still active) Lily Potter, and her first cousin once removed (Harry's second cousin), Jean Grey, and [[spoiler: Rachel Grey a.k.a. Maddie Pryor, Jean's stolen at birth twin sister.]] Both are noted as being/having been stunningly beautiful, and both have explosive tempers.
99* Julia Carlyle, from the ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}''[=/=]''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' crossover ''Legion of Lawndale Heroes'', has dark red hair and green eyes.
100* The (in)famous ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' OriginalCharacter, Website/{{Pixiv}}!Scotland. Also some renditions of Ireland, following the aforementioned PhenotypeStereotype. Others make him/her a PaleSkinnedBrunette instead, ''specifically'' to go against it.
101%%* Dr. Brainstorm from ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries''.
102* Mary Jane Watson, the protagonist of ''Fanfic/UltimateSpiderWoman: Change With The Light'', has long, fire-red hair and bright green eyes.
103* Captain Kanril Eleya, the protagonist of ''Fanfic/BaitAndSwitchSTO'', has red hair and dark green eyes.
104* Judicial-Cadet Jacqueline Quartermain from [[https://www.fanfiction.net/community/Cornelius-Anderson/116268/ this series]] of ''Film/{{Dredd}}'' fanfics is a gorgeous teenager with hair like "new copper wiring" and brilliant green eyes. She's from Boston and WordOfGod is that she is ethnically [[{{Oireland}} Irish]], perhaps [[PhenotypeStereotype justifying the choice]].
105* ''Fanfic/TheUltimateEvil'' has Nataline Homato, a [[HunterOfMonsters demon hunter]] who's, for a reason, described as [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy The Vampire Slayer's]] long lost cousin.
106* In ''most'' ''Manga/DeathNote'' fanworks where Matt is featured, he will have red hair and green eyes (and, of course, a ''much'' larger role than he ''ever'' [[OneSceneWonder had in either the anime or the manga]].) This is because his hair color was undefined in the manga (until the 10th anniversary colorized publication, where he had the brown hair and blue eyes he was given in the anime). {{Fanon}} decided that his hair color was red, and his eyes were green.
107* Misty in ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'', is the first traveling companion who joins Ash in his journey, as well as the first of his eventual LoveInterests. Like in the anime, she's portrayed with red-orange hair and green eyes, and she's been noted to be attractive by several characters in-story, including Ash himself.
108* Daniel and Jeannie S. Boom from ''Fanfic/LoudBoyAltered'' both have green eyes and red hair.
109* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fic ''Fanfic/LovedAndLost'', [[MinionWithAnFInEvil Lieutenant Shackle]], the TokenGoodTeammate of the supporters of [[TheUsurper Prince Jewelius]], has light green eyes as well as a dark red tail and mane. [[spoiler:She's also the only bad guy who undergoes a HeelFaceTurn during the final battle.]]
110* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'': WesternAnimation/KimPossible, [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Gwen Tennyson]] and [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 Starfire]] are these, and are all heroines.
111* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail:'' Chloe Cerise has maroon hair (a dark red color) and green eyes and the story is about her journey to discover herself when she's taken into the Infinity Train. The red hair is one of her most significant traigts to go along with her title "Chloe of the Vermillion".
112* ''Fanfic/ForTheGloryOfIrk'' has Dib's stepmother Moira. Justified by the fact that she's specifically mentioned to be Irish.
113* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1486620/1/Of-Gold-and-Gems Of Gold and Gems]]'' has Carfinien, a Gondorian maiden who has come to work for Theoden and comforts Wormtongue after he is rejected by Eowyn.
114* ''Fanfic/StormOnTheHorizon'' has Aloy, of course, but it also has [[spoiler:Chloe's daughter]], who Max describes as having very striking orange-red hair and hazel eyes when she sees her with her mother [[spoiler:in 2022. An important early clue that that girl is a young Elisabet Sobeck]].
115[[/folder]]
116
117[[folder:Film -- Animated]]
118* Bridget in the first ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'' movie. More of an important secondary character than a primary one, but she's Tony Toponi's {{Love Interest|s}} and, as you might have guessed from her name, she's Irish, most likely being directly inspired by Maureen O'Hara due to the movie taking place in the late nineteenth century.
119* Thomas O'Malley and Toulouse (one of Duchess' kittens) from ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats'', both ginger cats with cat-green eyes, in contrast with Duchess and Marie's white fur (see: blonde) and blue eyes.
120* Taran from ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'', the hero of the story. The book series the movie was based on was itself based on Welsh mythology. Not Irish, but close enough to count; both are Celtic cultures with a lot of similarities and the Welsh aren't distinguished enough to have their own set of physical stereotypes, so the familiar Irish ones were applied to TheHero in Disney's adaptation.
121* Danny from ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance'', the lead, is also an example of an orange-furred cat with green eyes.
122%%* Sam Sparks from ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'' fits the physical description.
123* ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods'': Eep has auburn and emerald green eyes, which symbolize that unlike her family, she wants to try new things and explore the world outside the cave. Helps from being voiced by fellow redhead Creator/EmmaStone
124%%* MK and her father; Professor Bomba from ''WesternAnimation/Epic2013''.
125* ''WesternAnimation/{{FernGully|TheLastRainforest}}'': Although most of the fairies in ''[=FernGully=]'' have green eyes, Pips is the only one that pairs this with red hair. He is [[LoveTriangle Zak's romantic rival]] for Crysta's affections in the first film and is the male lead of the sequel film.
126* ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'': [[GenkiGirl Darla]] has green eyes, has red hair, and is considered [[TheDreaded a scourge among fishkind]].
127* ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'': Hans, a very handsome prince who is an immediate source of attraction to main character Anna. [[spoiler:He's actually a [[EvilRedhead villainous example]] of this, using his faked romance with Anna as a ploy to steal Arendelle.]]
128* 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).
129* Felicie from ''WesternAnimation/{{Leap}}'', the main character.
130* ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidIIIArielsBeginning'': Queen Athena, whose red hair is very relevant for her physical resemblance to Ariel.
131* Francesca in the StopMotion puppet animation feature ''WesternAnimation/MadMonsterParty''.
132%%* Daria and her father, Heath, in ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndThePea''.
133* Another villainous example is Sir Ruber from ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot''.
134* Madame Medusa from ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers'' is a villainous example.
135* Puss in Boots from ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}''. An important enemy-turned-ally who eventually got his [[WesternAnimation/PussInBoots2011 own film]], Puss is an orange tabby cat with green eyes, which are often used for cat characters on their own.
136* Tulip from ''WesternAnimation/{{Storks}}'', the main heroine of the film.
137* Jessie as the AffirmativeActionGirl lead in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'' as well as being Buzz's Love Interest in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3''. Being a cowgirl, she's also a FieryRedhead.
138* Jessica Rabbit from ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', the wife of the titular character. It's easy to miss as [[MyEyesAreUpHere few people are looking at her eyes]].
139* Mebh Óg [=MacTíre=] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Wolfwalkers}}'' is the deuteragonist of the film, and she's a FieryRedhead with green eyes who befriends Robyn and teaches her how to be a [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Wolfwalker]]. She still has auburn fur and green eyes [[MorphicResonance as a wolf]].
140* Nick Wilde, the deuteragonist from ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'', is a subversion in that his eyes are green and his '''fur''' is orange as he's a red fox.
141[[/folder]]
142
143[[folder:Film -- Live-Action]]
144* As played by Creator/SarahMichelleGellar, Daphne Blake in the ''Film/ScoobyDoo2002'' movies, whose hair is dyed to give her this look. Daphne was already a redhead in the cartoon, but her actress having green eyes in real life combined with dying her hair for the part resulted in this trope.
145* ''Film/SkyHigh2005'': Layla is an {{Expy}} (at least in powers; her personality is quite different) of Poison Ivy, another character with notable Red hair and green eyes that has a GreenThumb.
146* When [[ComicBook/BlackWidow Natasha Romanov]] is introduced to Tony Stark in ''Film/IronMan2'', we get a [[MaleGaze lengthy close-up of her face]] showing just how [[FemmeFatale devastatingly beautiful]] this combination is. Tony Stark is visibly EatingTheEyeCandy.
147* Grace Faraday (Creator/EmmaStone) in ''Film/GangsterSquad''.
148* In ''Film/GingerSnaps'', the naturally green-eyed Creator/KatharineIsabelle went red-haired to play the title character, Ginger Fitzgerald.
149[[/folder]]
150
151[[folder:Literature]]
152* Felicity Merriman, a main character from the ''Literature/AmericanGirlsCollection'', one of the few redheads who, by the nature of this trope, of course is paired with green eyes.
153* ''Literature/{{Blackout}}'': Merope Ward, a time traveler from Oxford, has red hair and green eyes. She travels to London during the Blitz and passes herself off as a maid of Irish extraction, with the very Irish name of Eileen O'Reilly.
154* ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfDorsa'': Tasia is one of the protagonists, who's a princess with green eyes and red hair. She later also becomes Empress.
155* One of the heroes of ''Literature/TheCourtOfTales'' the Phosphorus Thief, is described as having red hair and green eyes.
156* ''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 woman, has these looks. She is a main character.
157* [[NoNameGiven The Girl]] from ''Literature/TheClubDumas''; her very light green eyes are mentioned many times as being captivating, likely because she is in fact [[spoiler:a fallen angel]]. In the film adaptation, ''Film/TheNinthGate'', however, she has different coloring.
158* Mildmay, one of the viewpoint characters of ''Literature/DoctrineOfLabyrinths''. For most of the story, he's one of only two-redhaired people, the other being his brother, and the only redhead with green eyes. Felix often describes them as being like jade.
159* In ''Literature/DragonBlood'', the magician "Jade Eyes", named for those green eyes, has red hair. It is mentioned that his beauty is not the reason why he's the highest mage in rank at the [[DepravedHomosexual king's]] court--he's also a powerful mage who makes life difficult for the heroes. [[spoiler:Actually, in terms of power, he's the main villain.]]
160* Lydia from ''Literature/EarlAndFairy'' has this as a sign of her affinity with TheFairFolk. It's a source of great trouble for her due to the cultural discrimination people with red hair suffered in Victorian England, on top of the implications she might be a [[ChangelingTale changeling]].
161%%* The HotWitch from Oscar Wilde's "The Fisherman and his Soul"
162%%* ''Literature/GemmaDoyle'', the protagonist from the ''A Great and Terrible Beauty'' trilogy. Her mother too.
163* ''Literature/GoToSleepAJeffTheKillerRewrite'': Randy is the main antagonist and he has green eyes and dyed blood-red hair.
164* In the ''Literature/GreenHills'' series, Michael has red hair and green eyes -- and is an incarnation of an aeons-old dragon.
165* Lily Evans Potter from ''Literature/HarryPotter'' series is a PosthumousCharacter example: a formidable witch of her own, she was the love interest to James, TheHero of the previous generation, the main character's mother, [[spoiler:and friends with [[TheAtoner Severus Snape]], until they [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend had a falling out]], but whose death became Snape's primary motivation]].
166%%* All of the Pennykettles from ''Literature/TheLastDragonChronicles'' are this.
167%%* ''Literature/NightfallSeries'': Armida, the BigBad's lover
168* ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'':
169** Mara Jade may be the ultimate example: a badass and former EvilRedhead who was so enormously popular, she joined the good guys, became TheHero Luke's long-time partner, and was eventually happily married to him. Until ''Literature/LegacyOfTheForce'', but no one likes what happened there.
170** Scout, the Jedi Padawan equivalent of Batman in ''Yoda: Literature/DarkRendezvous'', has these.
171** ''Literature/JediApprentice'''s Clat'Ha is only in a few of the books, but she's significant in them.
172* Ellysetta Baristani, the main character of ''Literature/TairenSoul''.
173* The title character of ''[[Literature/GracelingRealm Fire]]'' is red-headed and green-eyed and beautiful beyond the lot of ordinary people; her hair and eye color both coming from her mother.
174* Vesper Holly, protagonist of a NarmCharm-tastic children's adventure series by Creator/LloydAlexander.
175* Sennar, one of the main characters of the ''Literature/ChroniclesOfTheEmergedWorld''.
176%%* Aviendha from ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' has been described as such.
177* Cherry Valance from ''Literature/TheOutsiders'' is the redhead with green eyes that starts all the trouble in the book, while allowing Ponyboy, the protagonist, to change his view on Socs.
178%%* Kvothe in ''Literature/TheKingkillerChronicle'', who has "true red" hair. His eyes even have the bonus of [[LivingMoodRing changing to different shades of green according to his mood]].
179* April, one of the main characters from ''Literature/{{Everworld}}'' is mentioned a few times to be this.
180%%* Rachel Morgan and her mother in ''Literature/TheHollows''.
181* Sioned, one of the main characters from Melanie Rawn's ''Literature/DragonPrince'' stories.
182%%* Sharon from the Topeka Kansas USA section of The Great Panic chapter in ''Literature/WorldWarZ''.
183* [[TheCasanova Finnick Odair]] of ''Literature/TheHungerGames'', who is not only described as very attractive, but the only major redhead of the series, and one of the most important secondary characters.
184%%* In Creator/MichaelFlynn's ''[[Literature/SpiralArm January Dancer]]'', a woman is introduced by her red hair and green eyes even before her name is given.
185%%* Rachel Elizabeth Dare from ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians''.
186* ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' makes a point of noting that all of the princesses fit this trope, to the point where their hair is called "the royal red". [[spoiler:Cira/Halley]] actually [[DyeOrDie dyed her hair black]] to throw off suspicion.
187* Ce'Nedra from David Eddings' ''Literature/TheBelgariad'' and The Mallorean, who is the beautiful, FieryRedhead love interest of TheHero, and is part-dryad, so comes with a nature emphasis too.
188%%* [[BoisterousBruiser Brian O'Neill]] as well as [[HalfIdenticalTwins his children]] [[{{Tsundere}} Molly]] and [[FieryRedhead Michael]], in Claire Madras's Ireland-set HistoricalFiction novel ''Sissi in Ireland''.
189* The heroine of ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'', Clary Fray has green eyes and red hair. She got them from her mother Jocelyn.
190* Literature/PippiLongstocking is the main character of a series of books named after her.
191* The titular Literature/SisterFidelma from the books by Peter Tremayne.
192%%* Hexene Candlemas, the witch in ''Literature/CityOfDevils'' and [[Literature/FiftyFeetOfTrouble its sequel]].
193* Literature/ElsabethSoesten, the main protagonist of the eponymous ''Adventures of Elsabeth Soesten'', has copper hair and green eyes as prominent character traits.
194%%* Reporter Oran Ellis has red hair and green eyes in ''Literature/TheManWhoBroughtTheDodgersBackToBrooklyn''.
195%%* [[spoiler:Celty Sturluson]] in ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'', as shown at the end in one episode.
196%%** [[spoiler:Mika Harima has a plastic surgery that makes her head looks exactly the same as Celty above. Much to the latter's [[HeroicBSOD shock]]]].
197* Ruby-haired, emerald-eyed [[TheHighQueen Aristomache]] of ''Literature/TheFirstDwarfKing'' is one of the most notable characters in the book who isn't Jani.
198* ''Literature/{{Neogicia}}'' has a variation on this. The (naturally) [[RedIsHeroic Red-Headed Heroine]] lives in a world in which eight different eye colors are possible depending on the magic to which they are the most attuned to at birth. She undergoes a BioAugmentation that cuts people off from the magic system and makes their eyes silver. ''Before'' the procedure, she had a natural predisposition toward the kind of magic that makes people's eyes green.
199* Valerie Frizzle, the teacher and main character from ''Literature/MagicSchoolBus''. Though in the cartoon and book illustrations she, like the kids, usually has typical cartoon eyes, we do get to see that her eyes are green in ''Explores the Senses''.
200* ''Literature/SweetAndBitterMagic'': Wren, one of the two protagonists, has red hair and green eyes.
201* Lazarus Long from ''Literature/TimeEnoughForLove'' and ''Literature/MethuselahsChildren'' as well as later works by Creator/RobertAHeinlein.
202* Claire in ''Literature/{{Son}}'' has curly red hair and striking green eyes, making her stand out as the story's central character. It's especially notable since she came from the Community seen in ''Literature/TheGiver'', where selective breeding made the coloration even rarer than it is in real life.
203* ''Literature/TheVampireChronicles'': Jesse is a green-eyed redhead who can [[{{Telepathy}} read minds]] and [[ISeeDeadPeople see ghosts]]. Her 6000-year-old vampire ancestor Maharet, who shares those traits and was a witch in life, eventually tells her that her bloodline's SuperpowerfulGenetics often link paranormal abilities with those hair and eye colours.
204* ''Literature/MythagoWood'' contains a subversion: Guiwenneth is not only a redhead but also a character from forgotten myths made real, so the narrator expects her to have green eyes. They are dark brown.
205* Fenella, the protagonist of the Creator/EnidBlyton book "Come to the Circus".
206%%* Maharet and Mekare from ''Literature/TheVampireChronicles'', as well as Jesse.
207%%** Partly justified with Jesse, as she is [[spoiler:Maharet's distant descendant]]. All three women are capable of communicating with spirits.
208%%* Becky Sharp in Thackeray's ''Literature/VanityFair'' (1847-48) is a green-eyed EvilRedhead, though her hair is probably more of the sandy variety.
209* ''Literature/VillainsByNecessity'': Kaylana, who starts the quest initially, has both red hair and green eyes. She also later is romanced by main protagonist Sam, eventually reciprocating.
210* ''Literature/VillainsDontDateHeroes'': Fialux has dark red hair and deep green eyes. She's the series' {{deuteragonist}}, a superheroine whom villain Night Terror falls in {{love at first sight}} with.
211* The protagonist of the first ''Literature/WarriorCats'' books is a green-eyed, bright ginger cat named "Rusty" who runs off to live in a feral cat community. Rusty is given the MeaningfulRename of "Firepaw" due to his unusually bright pelt color after joining [=ThunderClan=], and this connects him to the prophecy spoken at the start of the book: "Fire alone can save our Clan."
212* Beatrice from ''Literature/WhenWomenWereDragons'' has curly red hair and eyes like "beetle wings," which probably indicates a sort of deep green or blue-green.
213* Beatrice Bailey, the protagonist of ''Literature/TheWitchesOfBailiwick''. Her specialty is controlling the weather, which goes with the nature aspect of this trope.
214[[/folder]]
215
216[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
217* ''Series/BreakingBad'' actually ''inverted'' this when green-eyed Creator/BryanCranston dyed his naturally reddish hair (perhaps shown most magnificently in his earlier appearance on ''Series/TheXFiles'')[[note]]Incidentally, ''Breaking Bad'' creator Creator/VinceGilligan wrote [[Recap/TheXFilesS06E02Drive the episode in question]] and was so impressed with Cranston's performance that the actor became Gilligan's first choice to play Walter White a decade later.[[/note]] a duller brown shade to represent VillainProtagonist Walter White's bland existence before the character turns to a life of crime. Later in the first season, after starting down the road to evil, Walt [[BaldOfEvil shaves it all anyway]] once he starts losing hair during chemotherapy. But you can still see the red in his [[GoodHairEvilHair facial hair]], which he grows into a [[BeardOfEvil goatee]] starting in the third season.
218* Myth/{{Merlin}} in the [[Series/Merlin1998 1998 miniseries]], where it appears that both young and old Merlins's eyes were digitally enhanced to be green beyond reality.
219* ''Series/SwitchedAtBirth'': Daphne, who has green eyes and red hair (see the page image), much like her biological mother Kathryn. It's all the more jarring when Regina refers to Daphne as having been a blond, blue eyed baby.[[note]]Though babies often have lighter hair for the first two years or so.[[/note]] This indicates to them she isn't Regina's or Angelo's child biologically, which is confirmed by a DNA test.
220[[/folder]]
221
222[[folder:Music]]
223* In Music/DollyParton's song "Jolene", the titular character (and the narrator's romantic rival) has "flaming locks of auburn hair" and "eyes of emerald green".
224* William Sheller's song "Les miroirs dans la boue" (The Mirrors in the Mud) is all about a young girl with "green eyes bathed in red hair" ("les yeux verts noyés de cheveux roux").
225* Music/GaelicStorm's Green Eyes, Red Hair is all about this. The woman in question overlaps with FieryRedhead too.
226* The title character of Erutan's "The Willow Maid", who is described as having "hair like fire, her eyes an emerald sheen", a tree fairy that a young man becomes infatuated with and tries repeatedly to get her to go with him.
227[[/folder]]
228
229[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
230* As with Walter White mentioned above under Live-Action TV, green-eyed Mark Calaway is another inversion. His hair is naturally red (as seen during his stint with Wrestling/{{WCW}} as EvilRedhead "Mean Mark Callous"), but he dyed it dark brown to become his more famous persona, Wrestling/TheUndertaker.
231[[/folder]]
232
233[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
234* Julia from ''Series/SesameStreet'', the show's first autistic {{Muppet}}.
235[[/folder]]
236
237[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
238* Of the pantheon worshiped by humans in the ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'', the green-eyed redhead, Sune, is the LoveGoddess.
239%%* Natasha Kerensky from [[Franchise/BattletechExpandedUniverse BattleTech]]. enough that fans suggested a then-70-year-old Maureen O'Hara as a perfect match for Natasha in the 3050s
240[[/folder]]
241
242[[folder:Video Games]]
243* The title character of ''VideoGame/AmericanMcGeesAlice'' has green eyes and, though her hair is fairly dark for most of the game and [[VideoGame/AliceMadnessReturns its sequel]], it's clear from [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/americanmcgeesalice/images/7/7b/Asylum_box_2.png/revision/latest?cb=20180305185928 the prequel]] that her hair is quite quite red.
244* ''VideoGame/EnslavedOdysseyToTheWest'' has Trip, a redheaded girl who it's worth noting is actually the focus of the story, despite not being the PlayerCharacter.
245* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
246** The {{Bridge Bunn|ies}}y Kelly Chambers is probably the most trouble-free and relaxing romantic interest, and the only redhead.
247** Default female [[PlayerCharacter Commander Shepard]] is another example, whose first face model was given this coloration. Emphasizing the pervasiveness of this trope is that when a fan poll was created to choose the new look of Commander Shepard for ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', so many people indicated that their vote depended on getting a red-haired, green-eyed Shepard with their favorite face model (which was originally blonde) that the developers posted a second poll allowing people to pick the coloration, and the green-eyed redhead won by a large margin.
248* Aveline Vallen in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', is the first companion you pick up and is a green-eyed redhead. Unusually she's also one of the two companions (besides Hawke's siblings) who cannot be Hawke's {{Love Interest|s}}. Much of her character plot in the game focuses on her surprising subversion of gender roles, so it's possible this coloration was picked for that reason.
249* Alex, the default female skin in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''. She also [[RedheadInGreen wears a green shirt]].
250* Razputin, the protagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'', has bright green eyes, red hair poking out of his flight helmet, and is a psychic prodigy.
251* If you squint hard enough, you'll notice that pre-zergification Sarah Kerrigan from ''Franchise/StarCraft'' had grayish-green eyes (especially on that photo Raynor has of her in ''[=SC2=]''), and she was a redhead.
252* Luke Fon Fabre from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss''. This is actually a plot point, as a noble with red hair and green eyes has a great role in a prophesy that will lead to world prosperity. Asch the Bloody is also a green-eyed red head, which is significant because [[spoiler:in truth, ''he's'' the redhead from the prophesy, and Luke is only his clone]].
253** It later becomes a plot point that [[spoiler:Natalia is not one of these, as every blood member of the Kimlascan royal family is a green-eyed redhead]].
254* ''VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria'' gives us Eleanor, who ironically shares the same best Mystic Arte with Luke: Lost Fon Drive. [[spoiler:The fact she becomes the unofficial first (good) Shepherd of the distant past helps things.]]
255* Princess Carranya in part II of ''VideoGame/LoveAndWar'', who is the heroine and only playable female character in the episode. Whether she ends up as Ryan's love interest is [[ShipTease strongly hinted at]], but not confirmed.
256* In the remake of ''VideoGame/TheSecretOfMonkeyIsland'', Elaine Marley, love interest of the hero, is given red hair and green eyes.
257* In ''VideoGame/PrincessMaker5'' game, Roshe has red hair and teal-colored eyes. It makes him stand out among all the human love interest options, and he's a prince from a foreign country.
258* Saya Kho in the ''VideoGame/{{X}}-Universe'' series. Red hair, green eyes, spectacular body, and she started a war that eventually resulted in the entire jumpgate network shutting down.
259* ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'':
260** The titular characters has green eyes and red ''fur''. His hair was red until ''VideoGame/CrashTwinsanity'' made it brown.
261** His little sister Coco usually has the same fur and eye colors but is downplayed by her blonde hair.
262* Triss Merigold, the main love interest in ''Videogame/TheWitcher'' and ''VideoGame/TheWitcher2AssassinsOfKings''. Interestingly, in Sapkowski's novels (on which the games are based) she has blue eyes.
263* Misty from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' is one of these. She's one of the most iconic gym leaders, partially because she's the second in the series but mostly because of the [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries anime]].
264* Michael, the main character from ''VideoGame/PokemonXDGaleOfDarkness''.
265* ''Franchise/SpyroTheDragon'':
266** Elora from ''VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage'' is a faun with red hair and green eyes. She's the main female character but [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome disappears]] aside from a cameo at the end of the third game.
267** In the ''VideoGame/SpyroReignitedTrilogy'', Sheila the kangaroo is redesigned to have red hair along with the green eyes she had in the original version. She is one of the playable characters and a hero just like Spyro.
268* 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.
269* The main character of ''VideoGame/StarFox'' is a green-eyed red fox named Fox [=McCloud=].
270* Hong Meiling in ''Franchise/TouhouProject'', who has this look despite being Chinese: she's the gatekeeper of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
271* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', Urbosa and Riju of the [[OneGenderRace Gerudo]] have this look. While the Gerudo in general have a dark-skinned redhead look, they typically have yellow eyes instead. Urbosa was the Gerudo Champion, while Riju is the current chief of the tribe.
272* 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]]
273* Ashelin Praxis from the ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' games is probably the second-most important female character in the entire series despite not debuting until [[VideoGame/JakIIRenegade the second installment]], sometimes even outshining the OG female support character, Keira. She has hair the colour of fresh blood and vibrant green eyes that are only accentuated by her extensive blue [[FacialMarkings facial tattoos]].
274* Mii Koryuji from ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone''. She's the keeper of the [[MacGuffin Portalstone]] and is the BigGood of the story.
275* Linda-058 is described as having this combination in the ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' expanded universe. Her one video game appearance to date in ''VideoGame/Halo5Guardians'' makes a point to avoid having her and the rest of Blue Team remove their helmets as part of the contrast between the Spartan-[=II=]s of Blue Team who were trained as soldiers from childhood, to the Spartan-[=IV=]s of Fireteam Osiris who were adult volunteers.
276* Aloy, from ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'' is the protagonist player character of the game. [[spoiler:By extension, her clone-source from the time of the Old Ones, Dr. Elisabet Sobeck, also had this combination of colors. Dr. Sobeck is significant in that she is the principal reason life existed again after the Faro Swarms eradicated all life, as she devised the Zero Dawn initiative to neutralize the Faro Swarms and revitalize Earth afterwards.]]
277** In the sequel, ''VideoGame/HorizonForbiddenWest'', it turns out that [[spoiler:there is another Sobeck clone made by the Far Zenith survivors named Beta. She eventually rebels against them and joins Aloy. After some strife between them, fierce Aloy eventually develops a BigSisterInstinct towards her ShrinkingViolet clone-sister.]]
278* Ringo Andou from ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' has red hair and green eyes, and serves the role of being one of the series' three main protagonists alongside Arle and Amitie.
279* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'': Rose, an elf woman who is both [[BigBad Psaro]]'s lover and morality chain, has dark-green eyes and bright red hair.
280* River Wyles from ''VideoGame/ToTheMoon'' has this, fitting with her general theme of standing out.
281[[/folder]]
282
283[[folder:Visual Novels]]
284* Karin from ''VisualNovel/CookingCompanions'' is a pessimistic FieryRedhead and probably the one out of the companions with the most screentime. Mostly because [[spoiler:she forms a BigBadDuumvirate with the player character until she either betrays them or forms an UnholyMatrimony in most endings]].
285* Monika from ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' fits this trope to a T.
286* The PlayerCharacter of ''VisualNovel/ReigningPassions'' has bright red hair and green eyes, the only character in the setting to date with this coloring. Not only is she the heroine of the story, she's descended from the lost queens of Lysende and thus the rightful heir to the throne, whose arrival in the capital city of Altadellys triggers an overturn of the status quo that's lasted for a century.
287* Emma, from ''VisualNovel/TogainuNoChi'', has red hair and blue-green eyes. She's also a FemmeFatale whose appeal is remarked upon by others.
288[[/folder]]
289
290[[folder:Web Animation]]
291* ''Creator/RoosterTeeth'' seems to be particularly fond of this trope.
292** ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'': Agent Carolina is the top agent in the Freelance Project. There isn't anything she can't do better than the other Freelancers, with the exception of the mysterious Agent Texas. The Project Freelancer saga is the first time people are shown without their helmets, and a number of Freelancers have their faces revealed, showing that Carolina has red hair and green eyes. [[spoiler:This is actually a plot point. The Director's eyes are never shown on screen until the climax of the saga when Agent Carolina finally tracks him down to confront him about all of his crimes. The plot twist is that he has green eyes, identifying him as Carolina's father. For the years, the Director had competitively pitted her and the other Freelancers against an A.I. of Carolina's deceased mother -- Agent Texas -- in pursuit of a dream that eventually made everyone else's lives a nightmare.]]
293** ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': Pyrrha Nikos is a famous world-class athelete and a star student who has won her kingdom's national tournament four times prior to her appearance in the show.
294** ''WebAnimation/NomadOfNowhere'' has Skout, the main female lead who bonds with the titular Nomad and acts as as the MoralityChain for most of the cast at times. Then there's [[spoiler: Melinda, a witch the Nomad was originally created to protect, who is the only user of magic other than the nomad himself]].
295[[/folder]]
296
297[[folder:Web Comics]]
298%%* Carol from ''Webcomic/BetweenFailures''.
299* Mistress Sixx from ''Webcomic/Collar6'' is another lesbian love interest to the protagonist.
300* Cucumber of ''Webcomic/CucumberQuest'', destined to save the world and thus rather significant for its continuous survival.
301%%* Kestrel from ''Webcomic/QueenOfWands''.
302%%* Lin from ''Linburger''.
303%%* Shelley Winters from ''Webcomic/ScaryGoRound''.
304%%* Meta example: Ere D. Nust in ''JustForFun/TVTropesTheWebcomic''.
305%%* Beth from ''Webcomic/TheOtherGreyMeat''.
306%%* Ginny, the mistress of the brothel Red Herring from ''Webcomic/NoSongsForTheDead''.
307* [[https://web.archive.org/web/20141228120908/http://pulse.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=88 Lucy Thompson]], SuperheroSchool secretary and best-friend to the lead in ''Webcomic/{{Pulse}}''.
308* ''Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation'''s Marena, [[TheLancer Lancer]] heroine protagonist [[spoiler:and sort-of love interest to Misho]] combines this with dark-skinned redhead.
309* Adele of ''Webcomic/AgentsOfTheRealm'' is a dyed redhead, but she's the first friend Norah makes on the campus and one of the Agents.
310%%* Babs from ''Lost In Confusion''.
311* Naomi, a main character and protagonist from ''Webcomic/{{Aecast}}''.
312* Penny, TheHero from ''Webcomic/PennyBlackfeather'', as revealed when the comic [[http://www.pennyblackfeather.co.uk/?webcomic_post=page0066 turns full color]].
313* Proxy, ''Webcomic/{{Tripp}}'''s bodyguard from the future.
314%%* Wren from ''Webcomic/RadioSilence''.
315* 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.
316* Reynir from ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent''. When the LittleStowaway who ends up with the main cast happens to be unknowingly packing the magic skills needed to counter an unforeseen ForbiddenZone-exclusive threat, those features are definitely deserved.
317* 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.
318[[/folder]]
319
320[[folder:Web Original]]
321* Keyleth of the Air-Ashari in ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' - a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' actual-play - is a druid who has long flowing red hair, green eyes, and for most of the campaign wears green outfits and antlers. By the end of the campaign she's basically the team power-house being able to shapeshift into various [[{{Animorphism}} wild animals]] or powerful [[ElementalShapeshifter elemental spirits]] [[VoluntaryShapeshifting at will]].
322* Cassidy Cain, the titular protagonist of ''Literature/GrandmasterOfTheft''. She's passionate and sensible as through being a spirited ClassyCatBurglar {{Guile Hero}}ine.
323%%* Deirdre Rees in ''Literature/NightHunters''.
324[[/folder]]
325
326[[folder:Western Animation]]
327* ''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 main character.
328%%* Niko in ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' (DependingOnTheArtist) has bluish-green eyes.
329* Dr. Krieger, one of the main characters from ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' is red-headed, as well as one of the only two green-eyed main characters (along with Lana Kane).
330%%* The title character in ''WesternAnimation/AtomicBetty''.
331* Gwen Tennyson from ''WesternAnimation/Ben10''. The main female character, cousin to the main character, and a part of the most prominent love story in the series with eventual group member Kevin.
332* WesternAnimation/BettyBoop's usual black hair is colored red and her eyes green in her one and only colored cartoon, "WesternAnimation/PoorCinderella". Nowadays her eyes are still usually a light green but [[RavenHairIvorySkin her hair continues to be its original black]].
333* Jazmine [=DuBois=] from ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks''. Due to a small change from the comic in the cartoon she has strawberry blonde hair(rare even among red heads) this combined with her green eyes and dark skin give her one of the rarest color combinations on Earth. She's listed as a secondary tritagonist in the show, as she is the protagonist's best friend/morality pet/shiptease (were they not ten).
334* An interesting male version is [[TheStoic Nonny]] from ''WesternAnimation/BubbleGuppies'', who's one of the main cast members.
335%%* Gosalyn Mallard from ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'', although the fiery still comes through loud and clear.
336* A number of characters from the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse:
337** The hero Hawkgirl/Shayera, in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'', as shown in the trope image, notable in that she was traditionally portrayed with blue eyes in the comics, and with her mask on she has BlackDotPupils.
338** Lana Lang, Superman's childhood friend, in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'', who, similar to Hawkgirl above, often didn't have green eyes.
339** Villain Pamela Isley, a.k.a. Poison Ivy, in the ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Batman: TAS]]'' episode "Pretty Poison", when she uses her stunning looks to get close to the men who wronged her (one of them even proposes to her) and attempts to assassinate them.
340** Gotham City socialite Veronica Vreeland, one of Batman's love interests (and the only redhead amongst them).
341** Howard's [[SexBot Robot Girlfriend]] Cynthia in the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' episode "Terry's Friend Dates a Robot". She was specifically designed to have this colour combination and serves as the episode's antagonist.
342* In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Road to the Multiverse", redhead main character Lois, whose eye color isn't usually depicted, had green eyes in the Disney 'verse (where she is meant to be portrayed in the classically beautiful way a Disney princess usually is).
343* Frankie, like everyone in ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', has BlackBeadEyes. However, her drivers license states she has green eyes. Frankie works at Foster's and is one of Mac's best friends, and the [[PrecociousCrush object of his affections]].
344* An {{animesque}} ArtShift in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "Reincarnation" makes [[IdiotHero Fry]] one of these via SuddenEyeColour.
345* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' has multiple examples.
346** Demona, one of the main antagonists, though ordinarily black-eyed like most gargoyles, qualifies [[spoiler:when in human form]].
347** Fox, recurring villain employee of [[spoiler:and married to]] the other main antagonist David Xanatos.
348* WordOfGod states that Wendy from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has green eyes to complement her red hair. However, the art style doesn't show her eye color. She's one of the Pines twins' best friends and works at the Mystery Shack.
349%%* Jessie Bannon from ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures'' (except when the colourists goof and make them blue).
350* WesternAnimation/KimPossible, the main character, is both an ActionGirl and ActionGirlfriend example.
351%%* Lua, the beautiful barefoot JunglePrincess Shaman from ''WesternAnimation/KongTheAnimatedSeries''.
352* The titular Calamity Jane in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfCalamityJane'', probably as part of the mysterious gunslinger Western persona.
353* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfVoxMachina'' has Keyleth, a beautiful half-even druid ginger with emerald green eyes. She is one of the main characters and the most powerful member of her team in terms of magic abilities.
354* ''WesternAnimation/LesSisters'': A rare villainous example with [[AlphaBitch Rachel]], the main antagonist of the series.
355* Leo from ''WesternAnimation/LittleEinsteins'' is the leader of the titular group and is the only one with red hair and green eyes.
356* Kiva from ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'', the only major female character, the only redhead, one of the best looking characters from the show, and in an alternate reality/bad future timeline, an eventual love interest of Jamie.
357%%* Pickles the drummer in ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' has this sort of coloring, and in his case it's probably due to being "very Irish-American."
358* Sunset Shimmer in the first ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls1'' is a rare antagonist version of this trope. However, she undergoes a HeelFaceTurn at the end of the movie, with all films ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks'' and onwards having her as the protagonist, fitting the common use of it.
359%%* Precious from ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' has green eyes and red fur.
360* The leader of The Hex Girls, Thorn, from ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheWitchsGhost'' has green eyes and black hair highlighted red. The highlights were removed in subsequent appearances for scaring children however ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' brought them back. In ''The Witch's Ghost'', Mystery Inc. needs Thorn's help to get rid of the ghost.
361* ''WesternAnimation/SkullIsland2023'': The unnamed, Spanish-speaking island girl who befriended Kong in [[Recap/SkullIsland2023S1E7YoureNotAKingYoureJustAStupidAnimal episode 7]], and who ultimately died in Kong's grip after being mortally wounded by [[BigBad the Kraken]], making Kong's season-spanning grudge against the monster all the more personal for him.
362* Aerrow, the main character of the show and leader of the ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks''.
363* The titular protagonist of ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' has Green Eyes in the 2009 incarnation.
364* Erika Violette from ''WesternAnimation/StretchArmstrongAndTheFlexFighters'' has red hair and green eyes, and proves significant after falling in love with Stretch/Jake's best friend, Wingspan/Nathan.
365* Starfire from ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}''. When she's actively using her powers, she has solid green eyes like her comic book counterpart. When she's not, her eyes are more like normal human "green eyes", but the sclera (the "white" of the eye) is ''also'' green (a paler shade than the iris).
366* In ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'', [[CloudCuckooLander Izzy]]'s red hair is more toward the orange end of the spectrum--the color of fire--to emphasize her {{pyromaniac}} tendencies. Even after being eliminated from the game, a running gag is that she keeps returning to the game either as a contestant or as a cameo. Not only are her eyes green, she also [[RedheadInGreen typically wears green]].
367* Sam from ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'', is the leader of the group (and the rest of the group follows typical cartoon colorations with black hair and brown eyes and blonde hair and blue eyes). [[RedheadInGreen She even wears green as her color]]!
368* ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'': Bryan, Elyon's one-off love interest in "The Princess Revealed", has orange hair and green eyes. The heroes suspect him of being a spy for Phobos but he turns out to be a completely normal kid, making him a subversion of this trope. In fact, Cornelia states that Elyon's ideal partner is tall with blue eyes and blonde hair.

372* Probably the most significant figure of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries was UsefulNotes/GenghisKhan, who had red hair and green eyes according to Mongol and Kazakh folk tales and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashid-al-Din_Hamadani Rashid al-Din]]'s histories. Red hair and green eyes are more common in Central Asia than one might expect,[[note]]albeit often more muted than in the West--for example, Central Asian red hair is browner than the bright red shades seen in Northern Europe[[/note]] but modern depictions usually ignore these traits, perhaps because [[RealityIsUnrealistic today's audiences would have a hard time believing that an Asian man could have red hair and green eyes]].
373* Decadent writer Algernon Swinburne, notorious for his transgressive love poems about bisexuality, genderqueering and kink, had a mass of curling red hair and green eyes. Rosetti's famous portrait of him showcases both features to full advantage.
374* [[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 [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon described]] as [[TheVamp tall and beautiful]], with pale skin, [[EvilRedhead flame-red hair]], and piercing green eyes.
375* Whatever your opinions on Creator/LRonHubbard, for better or worse he was undeniably a significant figure in both science fiction and the broader American culture. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Scientology The religion he founded]] sanctifies him to this day. And yes, he had red hair and green eyes. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Parsons Jack Parsons]], a rocket scientist and Creator/AleisterCrowley protégé with whom Hubbard lived for a few years, incidentally was fascinated with red hair to the point of believing his red-haired, albeit ''blue''-eyed, second wife ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marjorie_Cameron Marjorie "Candy" Cameron]]) to be a divine or angelic figure previously described to him by Hubbard, who'd envisioned the entity as a beautiful red-haired woman. A few days before meeting Candy, Parsons and Hubbard had performed sex magic to summon the being.
