| 12 | ->''"My mind can’t quite get to the point of having lustful thoughts because I’m too worried about where I’m going to find a step-ladder at this time at night."'' |
| 13 | -->-- '''''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation''''' on ''Videogame/{{Bayonetta 2}}'' |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Women, on average, are shorter than men. And a good number of men find petite women charming. Because of this, in most human societies, tall girls and women [[HugeSchoolgirl often feel awkward and out of place]], and some men will feel uncomfortable when it comes to [[TinyGuyHugeGirl having a relationship with a woman who towers over them]], similar to [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon someone stronger than them]]. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | But then there are some women to whom ''this'' trope applies. These are the women whose overall charm comes from their height. Even if they themselves don't acknowledge it, the story and/or characters make it clear that her height is one of her distinguishing charms. Also, in fiction, tall women tend to be {{Tomboy}}s and sometimes fall into the ActionGirl archetype. Due to their extreme height, they will often have [[LegFocus nice, long legs]]. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | They are also quite common in the {{Superhero}} genre, where they also often have a HeroicBuild and the MostCommonSuperpower. As with those tropes, tall heroines can be more the norm than the exception. Tall heroines have to be ''extremely'' tall to really stand out. Looking at published {{Canon}} references like DC's ''Who's Who'' and Marvel's ''ComicBook/OfficialHandbookOfTheMarvelUniverse'', one gets the impression that the ''average'' height for female heroes is something like 179 cm or 180 cm (between 5'10" and 5'11") (and that for male characters, it's about 191 cm (over 6'3")). |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Please note that for a woman to qualify for this trope, she needs to fulfill two criteria: |
| 22 | |
| 23 | # She must be taller than most men in her setting or stand at ''least'' 5'8" (173 cm) tall. ''Without'' high heels, usually. |
| 24 | # She must either be considered attractive InUniverse or be accompanied by {{Fanservice}}, [[TheBeautifulTropes Beauty]], or AttractionTropes.[[note]]For example, {{Stripperiffic}}, MaleGaze, SheCleansUpNicely, AmazonChaser, etc.[[/note]] |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Since men are usually taller than women, [[AttractiveBentGender attractive male crossdressers]] will often appear this way, and the same is true for attractive UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} women. On the other hand, in fiction, at least, an EasySexChange can often work around such limitations. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Not to be confused with TakenForGranite (although it may sometimes be combined with it!). |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Some Statuesque Stunners are also {{Amazonian Beaut|y}}ies or fit the BuxomBeautyStandard. Compare and contrast HugeSchoolgirl and GiantWoman. Compare AmazonChaser, a guy to whom the attractive quality in a woman is her fighting skill and/or her muscular build instead of her height. Also compare to BigBeautifulWoman (which puts more emphasis on weight rather than height), and BrawnHilda, who is muscular but unattractive. Compare to overlap with TinyGuyHugeGirl and contrast with HugeGuyTinyGirl. |

| 34 | !Examples: |
| 35 | |
| 36 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 37 | |
| 38 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 39 | * In ''Manga/AirMaster'', the eponymous streetfighter—real name, "Maki"—is this, as well as a HugeSchoolgirl and an ActionGirl. During the opening, she's seen walking through an average, crowded Tokyo street—heads and shoulders above everyone else. Most of her height is in her legs, which is handy since they're also her [[KickChick main weapon]]. As for being "stunning"... well, several guys in the show seems to think so, at least. |
| 40 | * Sakaki from ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'', is simply ''[[HugeSchoolgirl huge]]'' [[HugeSchoolgirl for a 16-year-old Japanese girl]] at 1.74m (5'9"). This troubles her a lot as she's [[ShrinkingViolet very shy]] and obsessed with everything [[{{Moe}} small and cute]]. |
| 41 | * ''Anime/TheBigO'': Angel is a homage to [[Franchise/LupinIII Fujiko Mine]] and stands at 5'10". She's usually seen [[SexySecretary in secretarial garb]] whenever she isn't donning her [[PinkIsFeminine pink]] [[SpyCatsuit catsuit]] and has [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST]] with Roger for most of the series. |
| 42 | * ''Manga/CleanFreakAoyamakun'' has Odagiri who is one of the tallest girls in school, and even taller than some of the male students. She's viewed as attractive and is noted to have the best figure by everyone except for two jealous girls who wonder how is she seen as cute when she's that big. |
| 43 | * ''Anime/CodeGeass'' has several: Cornelia Li Britannia, Viletta Nu, Milly Ashford, and Marianne vi Britannia come to mind quickly, though even Euphie is close to the mark at 5 foot 7. Clearly Britannians breed for height along with bust and ham. |
| 44 | ** There's also the 180cm (5'11) Rakshata Chawla. |
| 45 | * ''Manga/TheDangersInMyHeart'': Anna Yamada is a 2nd-year middle school student who works part-time as a model/actress and [[HugeSchoolgirl towers over most of her classmates at 171.9 cm tall (5'7")]]. And she's frequently noted to be ''really'' pretty. |
| 46 | * [[ActionGirl Noi]] of ''Manga/{{Dorohedoro}}'' is very tall ([[http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%89%E3%83%AD%E3%83%98%E3%83%89%E3%83%AD according to the Japanese Wikipedia]], she's about 6'10"). She's [[BuxomBeautyStandard quite buxom as well]]. Despite MostCommonSuperpower, she's been mistaken for a man numerous times by other characters due to a combination of her [[AmazonianBeauty huge muscles]] and her default outfit being a baggy tracksuit and a head-covering mask, and most readers tend to get a SamusIsAGirl moment when they see her maskless for the first time. Fanart tends to depict her carrying her partner Shin in her arms. |
| 47 | * In ''Manga/DoYouLikeBigGirls'', five of the six members of the volleyball team are at least ''6 and 1/2 ft. tall''. And they're all pretty in their own ways. |
| 48 | * The Angels Vados and Marcarita in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', are both very tall, around the same height as Whis who himself is taller than Goku & Beerus and both of them are beautiful, with white hair, Vados in a ponytail and Marcarita with [[GirlishPigtails pigtails]]. Their sister Martinu is a BigBeautifulWoman in more ways than girth. |
| 49 | * Niki Hanada from ''Manga/DrStone'' is definitely Statuesque, as she stands at 180cm (or 5'11"), which is quite tall for a woman (especially in Japan) and puts her comfortably over most of the male cast. The stunner part is debatable at first due to some BrawnHilda traits, but ArtEvolution veers her firmly into unambiguously attractive territory. |
| 50 | * Cana and Evergreen from ''Manga/FairyTail'' are 5'8" and 5'9", respectively, according to the official height chart. Since Fairy Tail is a WorldOfBuxom, where all of the protagonists are good-looking, they also qualify as stunners. |
| 51 | * ''Literature/{{Gate}}'': In the novel and manga versions, Mari Kurokawa is 190cm/6'3". She looks very imposing compared to the other characters, and she's a beauty whom [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Tuka has a crush on]]. In the anime, she is 175cm/5'9", but still towers over the other girls. |
| 52 | * ''Manga/GiantOjouSama'': Main character Oriko Fujidou is a very beautiful and buxom young woman who is 184cm (slightly over six feet) tall, and that's her default height without using the drink that turns her into a GiantWoman. Oriko B, her counterpart from an alternate universe, is a more downplayed example at 175cm (roughly 5'9") tall. |
| 53 | * Mora Bascht of ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Gundam 0083]]'' stands head and shoulders above most of the cast, regardless of their gender. She becomes one half of the show's BetaCouple with Keith, who is initially put off and intimidated by her size, but later seems quite happy with her. |
| 54 | * While Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing from ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' is still dwarfed by Alucard (really not much of an accomplishment), she still sees eye to eye with the more average height male characters in the series and towers over the shorter ones. |
| 55 | * ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': |
| 56 | ** The {{gender flip}}ped version of Russia is a very beautiful, long-haired WinterRoyalLady who easily is the tallest of the girls. |
| 57 | ** Also, the gender-flipped version of Sweden is a LadyOfWar with glasses and just as long hair. We're not sure of ''how'' exactly tall she is, but consider that the original Sweden is ''at least'' 6'0"... |
| 58 | * ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'': [[SexyScandinavian Rias Gremory]] stands at 172 cm/5'8" tall, is considered attractive by everyone else including her lover [[TheHero Issei]], and is also the club's resident MsFanservice. |
| 59 | * ''Manga/HitomiChanIsShyWithStrangers'': The titular character is very attractive [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer to all her classmates]] and stands head and shoulders above most of them. She's a full head taller than Yuu, the TinySchoolboy in their TinyGuyHugeGirl relationship, despite him being a year older. |
| 60 | * Hanabata Nohkins from ''Manga/ImmoralGuild'' stands at an impressive 5'10"/178cm tall, yet she's considered a HeadTurningBeauty. |
| 61 | * ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': |
| 62 | ** Lisa Lisa from ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Battle Tendency]]'' stands at 175 cm (5'9''), and is a MsFanservice with heavy emphasis on her long legs. |
| 63 | ** Her great-great-granddaughter, ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]'''s Jolyne Cujoh, stands at the same height and is equally beautiful. |
| 64 | * An older series called ''The Kabocha Wine (The Pumpkin Wine)'' features a love story from the short boy Aoba Shunsuke and a big-sized beauty by the name of Natsumi. |
| 65 | * The title character of ''Manga/TheLegendOfMotherSarah'' is a [[AmazonianBeauty tall, athletic woman]] who [[WalkingTheEarth wanders the earth]], towers over or is just as tall as most men she runs into and often gets in trouble either for being an attractive female or because she likes to right the wrongs in the places she visits. |
| 66 | * Motoko in ''Manga/LoveHina'' is taller than Keitaro and the other girls and it's shown she feels awkward about it, but it's made clear she's considered attractive nonetheless. |
| 67 | * Half of the premise of ''Manga/LovelyComplex'' is Risa Koizumi, a girl taller than average. The other half being Atsushi Ootani, [[TheNapoleon a boy shorter than usual.]] |
| 68 | * ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage, stands at 174 cm (5'9"), making her the tallest woman in the cast. She is also noted as a beauty, with [[BodyguardCrush her bodyguard Chojuro blatantly swooning over her]]. |
| 69 | * ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'': |
| 70 | ** Kaede (181cm/6'0"), [[RobotGirl Chachamaru]] (174cm/5'9"), Mana (184cm/6'1"), Akira (175cm/5'9"), Ayaka (173cm/5'8"), and Chizuru (172cm/5'8"). Most of them regularly wear {{fanservice}}y clothing and/or are prone to being depicted in the nude via either public bathing/hot spring scenes or a {{m|agicMisfire}}isfired [[TheNudifier Flans Exarmatio]] spell[[labelnote:*]]Normally used for disarming foes of their weapons and armor via a strong burst of wind, it also has the unfortunate ability to effectively vaporize normal clothes[[/labelnote]] from Negi, and the only potential {{Love Interest}}s for them are ''a couple of 10-year-olds''. Lampshaded by [[MetaGuy Chisame]] on how her class is so abnormal in every aspect including beauties, breast size, and height. |
| 71 | ** There's also Mahora's HospitalHottie head nurse and guidance counselor, Shizuna Minamoto. She's tall, with blue hair that flows down her back, and [[BuxomBeautyStandard she's quite buxom as well]] (her cans are ''99cm''). Negi is literally introduced to her via MarshmallowHell. |
| 72 | * ''Franchise/OnePiece'': |
| 73 | ** Nico Robin, the ''womanly'' archeologist, is the third tallest Straw Hat pirate, standing 188 cm (6'2" ft.), more than most male crew members. She often wears high heels, which make her even taller. |
| 74 | ** Boa Hancock, whose official height is a whopping 191 cm (that's over ''six feet three inches'') is very obviously beautiful both to readers and in-universe characters. In fact, she's called [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman the most beautiful woman in the world]] at one point. [[JustifiedTrope It fits]], since she's the empress of an island of {{amazon|Brigade}}s. And like Nico above, she wears high heels. |
| 75 | ** Played with for Hancock's younger sister, Boa Sandersonia, who has a figure almost as nice as Hancock's and who is even ''taller'' at a massive 453 cm (that's '''14 feet 10 inches tall'''). [[ButterFace Pity about her face, though]]; its disproportionate size, flat features and overly wide mouth detract from her appearance... albeit not to the same extent as ''her'' younger sister, Boa Marigold, who is a straight-up BrawnHilda {{Gonk}}. |
| 76 | ** Two of Big Mom's daughters, Charlotte Smoothie and Charlotte Praline, easily tower over allies and enemies. Smoothie is over 4 and a half meters tall, plus she possesses extremely long legs; on the other hand, Praline is a ''huge'' [[HalfHumanHybrid half-mermaid]] with a very nice bust and who's around [[TinyGuyHugeGirl twice the size]] of her beloved merman husband, [[spoiler: Aladine of the Sun Pirates]], who's [[TheBigGuy not exactly short to begin with]]. |
| 77 | ** Kikunojo, from the Wano arc, is 287 cm (9'5") and shown to be much sought after. |
| 78 | ** At least half of the women in One Piece are attractive and above the 172 cm line. Coincidentally, that makes a good amount of women in One Piece taller than 172 cm to 174 cm Luffy. |
| 79 | * Twilight Suzuka from ''Manga/OutlawStar'' is listed as being 5'9", though she's often drawn as tall as or slightly taller than Gene (5'11"). Either way she towers over the other two women in the main cast and is known for being very attractive, judging by the title "The Beautiful Assassin." |
| 80 | * Makoto (Sailor Jupiter) from ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' is the tallest and strongest of the Inner Senshi at 5'6" (the rest average around 5' even). [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Haruka]] (Sailor Uranus) takes it to even more drastic levels at 5'8". Though it should be noted each approaches the Stunner part from different angles. Makoto's known to be busty and proud of it while Haruka's less prominent bust makes her look athletically trim. |
| 81 | * Five of the ''Anime/SevenMortalSins'' are this, with Lucifer at 173cm, Belial at 179cm, Asmodeus at 177cm, Mammon at 180cm, and Satan is 183cm tall. And they're all HotAsHell. |
| 82 | * ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'': Naga is actually taller than Gourry, a fact which her sister, [[spoiler:Amelia]], mentions offhandedly. And you can't help but see her figure (especially '''THOSE''' things), since she wanders around [[{{stripperiffic}} in next to no clothing]]. |
| 83 | * Tsubaki Nakatsukasa from ''Manga/SoulEater'' is about a head taller (anywhere from 5'7" to 5'9") than most of the teenaged Weapons/Meisters. Same goes for Elizabeth "Liz" Thompson, who's about the same height as Tsubaki or at least just a little shorter. Thing is, Liz has nothing on Tsubaki's stack; in fact, her little sister Patty outmeasures her there. |
| 84 | * [[HugeSchoolgirl Hikaru Ohno]] of ''Take On Me''. Quoting the character intro, she's "Six foot one of [[AllWomenAreLustful fun]] [[TinyGuyHugeGirl fun]] fun!" |
| 85 | * Yuuko Sagiri from ''Manga/TriageX'' stands at 5'9" tall and is one of the most attractive members of the team. |
| 86 | * ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'': Sakura has never been given any height, but once cured of her sickness, she becomes tall, slender, and incredibly beautiful, much to the pleasure of Ataru. |
| 87 | * The 174-cm Jura Basil Elden of ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'', a fighter pilot boasting both a height and proportions eclipsing almost everyone else on her crew of over 150 women. She ups the ante further with long blonde hair and a NavelDeepNeckline. Unfortunately for her, while she does get some attention in the rare moments that arise, most of the time she's stuck on a pirate ship full of girls who already know her very well and three men who were raised to believe women are monsters. |
| 88 | * ''Anime/VariableGeo'': [[AmbiguouslyBrown Jun Kubota]] is the primary example, as she's a former Olympic wrestling champion and has the height and physique to show it. |
| 89 | * In the manga ''Walkin' Butterfly'', the protagonist bemoans the fact that she's super-tall until she realizes that most models are actually quite tall. |
| 90 | * All of the most attractive girls in ''Manga/WelcomeToDemonSchoolIrumaKun'' are quite tall. In particular, StudentCouncilPresident Ameri Azazel absolutely towers over not just main character Iruma (who's fairly short), but is taller than almost ''everyone'', including the adults. When she attempts to [[HoldingHands hold hands]] with Iruma, for example, she's so tall that she ends up grabbing his ''shoulder'' instead. Her father is even taller than she is, so it must run in the family. |
| 91 | * Kagari Ayaka from ''Manga/WitchCraftWorks''. The male protagonist Honoka barely reaches her chest (although the size seems to change from chapter to chapter), making her at least 1.8 m tall. She is also a SugarAndIcePersonality with G-cup breasts, dark, thigh-long hair (except when she is in battle, where it becomes fire-like), and a very nice body. It shows in the many, many, ''many'' instances where she carries Honoka bride style. |
| 92 | * Though her height is never revealed, Yuuko Ichihara from ''Manga/XxxHolic'' is almost the same height as Kurogane, which means she's probably about six feet tall. |
| 93 | * Hanako Kuzuryu from ''Manga/YankeeJKKuzuhanaChan'' is at least half a head taller than main character Saotome, and when she does bother to dress up nicely she's definitely gorgeous. |
| 94 | * Mai Kujaku/Valentine from ''Manga/YuGiOh'' stands almost eye to eye with Katsuya Jounouchi/Joey Wheeler, who is 178 cm (5'10") which makes her the tallest female character in the series. Mai also wears high heels, usually in the form of purple stiletto boots. |
| 95 | [[/folder]] |
| 96 | |
| 97 | [[folder:Arts]] |
| 98 | * Art/NefertitiBust: Even if it's just a bust, there's tallness to it owing to the long, naked neck, the high cheekbones, and of course the crown that nearly doubles the height. The missing uraeus may even add to the sense of length because without it the bust's profile from forehead to crown is an unbroken line. "Nefer" means "(inner and outer) beauty", but Nefertiti's status as one of the [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman World's Most Beautiful Women]] is a modern one and largely based on the bust. |
| 99 | [[/folder]] |
| 100 | |
| 101 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 102 | '''Franchise/TheDCU''' |
| 103 | * Grace Choi, the former [=bouncer=] first introduced in ''ComicBook/{{Outsiders|2003}}''. In addition to being an AmazonianBeauty, she's about seven feet tall. |
| 104 | * [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever By default]], Giganta of Franchise/TheDCU is 198 cm. Her [[IconicOutfit usual attire]] is a leopard-skin two-piece [=loincloth=], although [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4a/GigantaNewCostume.jpg she swapped it out for a]] [[HellBentForLeather leather jumpsuit]] as of ''One Year Later''. |
| 105 | * Maxima, sometime-villain, sometime-heroine, and one-time suitor of Franchise/{{Superman}}, had a stature befitting her name, standing at 6'2". |
| 106 | * Big Barda from ''ComicBook/NewGods'' is... ''[[MeaningfulName BIG]]''. As seen in the trope image, she towers over her husband Scott/Mr. Miracle (see the page image), and indeed over most heroes, male or female. Including Franchise/{{Superman}}. [[note]] As originally drawn by Jack Kirby she was not taller than Scott, but is still an example as Scott is 6 feet tall. When asked about it in an interview, Kirby noted that he found taller women very attractive (he was himself a pretty short guy), and his wife was a bit taller than he was.[[/note]] |
| 107 | * Knockout, another of the Apokoliptian ComicBook/NewGods, and a supporting character in the ''ComicBook/{{Superboy}}'' and ''ComicBook/SecretSix'' books, also qualifies. |
| 108 | * Being a Statuesque Stunner seems to be something of a requirement for membership in Darksied's Female Furies. Lashina and minor member Artemis are 198 cm and 191 cm respectively and even Granny Goodness is 179 cm and while she definitely doesn't fit the trope now at least one story set in her youth showed her as a very hot looking bald woman. |
| 109 | * Blackfire, enemy of the ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' is especially tall at 188 cm (6'2")-and she's actually ''shorter than her sister ComicBook/{{Starfire}}'', who's 193 cm (6'4") tall (with EightiesHair and heels often adding even more inches to that!). |
| 110 | * Franchise/WonderWoman, of course. And many other women from Paradise Island, as well. In Wondy's case, this is especially noticeable in ''ComicBook/DCTheNewFrontier'' when she gets down from a table she was standing on and shows that [[http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lds846zxRW1qbujox.jpg she's taller than Superman]]. |
| 111 | * Diana's fellow Amazon and one-time stand-in ComicBook/{{Artemis}} is even taller. Like Wondy, her height has been edging up over the years from 6 feet even in her original stats to a current 6'2". |
| 112 | * ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': Marya is eight feet tall. She's also very beautiful and is admired for her beauty both in her home country of Mexico and when she comes to DC to attend Holliday College, where she also acts as a lifeguard. |
| 113 | * ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': The {{stripperiffic}} Queen Clea officially stands at six feet five inches tall in the ''ComicBook/PostCrisis'' continuity. |
| 114 | * Other Creator/DCComics superheroines qualify, though sometimes inconsistently, DependingOnTheArtist: |
| 115 | ** ComicBook/{{Huntress}}, officially listed at 1.81 m 5'11". When drawn next to male characters she's usually depicted as the same height (or taller if the male in question is short-statured, such as Robin); however, when next to the Birds of Prey, she's rarely drawn any taller than ComicBook/BlackCanary ([[PintsizedPowerhouse listed at 5'4]]), so her tallness is only emphasises around male characters. |
| 116 | ** ComicBook/PowerGirl, listed at 1.81 m (5'11"). Amusingly, she was formerly listed at merely 5'7, which isn't ''that'' tall, but artists kept drawing her as towering over male characters, even ones over six foot officially, so this listing seems to be an attempt to meet that. |
| 117 | ** ComicBook/{{Raven}} (sometimes listed at 1.81 m (5'11")) |
| 118 | ** ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} is [[AvertedTrope usually portrayed]] as a woman of roughly average height at 5'5", but occasionally taller, particularly if shown as her "future self" of Superwoman. Since ComicBook/PowerGirl is essentially Supergirl's "grownup" counterpart from a parallel Earth, the two are often contrasted against one-another by having Power Girl tower over her. One of her villains -Nightflame, who showed up in ''ComicBook/DemonSpawn''- is about two heads taller than Supergirl. |
| 119 | ** Andromeda, Supergirl's CaptainErsatz in the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes, is 6'2". |
| 120 | * ComicBook/MotherPanic, AKA Violet Paige, is a Gotham socialite who stands exactly 6'0". |
| 121 | * Kate Kane was originally 5'10" when she debuted as ComicBook/{{Batwoman}} and gained an additional inch a few years later. Multiple characters have commented, unprompted, on her good looks. |
| 122 | * The villainess the Queen of Fables is 5'10'' and rather stunning, like the time she tried to seduce Superman while wearing a Kryptonian dress. |
| 123 | '''Franchise/MarvelUniverse''' |
| 124 | * ''ComicBook/{{Captain Marvel|MarvelComics}}'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Carol Danvers]] is 181 cm (5'11"), and she's largely considered to be Franchise/{{Marvel|Universe}}'s AlternateCompanyEquivalent of Wonder Woman. |
| 125 | * ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'': It's actually easier to list the members of this group that don't fit this trope. Of all the women who have served in the Guardians, only Mantis is under 175 cm. Phyla-Vell is 177 cm (5'10"), Gamora and Moondragon are both 6' and Angela is 6'2". |
| 126 | * ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'': The Hulk's [[DroppedABridgeOnHim ill-fated]] wife [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Caiera]] from the ''ComicBook/PlanetHulk'' arc is approximately 2 meters tall (6'7"). When side-by-side with her husband, she's shown to be only about [[OneHeadTaller a head shorter]] than the Hulk ([[DependingOnTheArtist who on his worst days]] is between 7' and 8'). |
| 127 | * ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': [[ActionGirl Sif and Valkyrie]], Thor's fellow [[Myth/NorseMythology Asgardians]] (and in the case of the former, his destined [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Victorious Childhood Friend]]) are respectively 188 cm (6'2") and 191 cm (6'3"). [[HotWitch Amora]] ([[VillainessesWantHeroes The Enchantress]]) is also 191 cm. Then there's the Death Goddess ComicBook/{{Hela}} who stands at way over 2 meters (being the child of two giants) and is well, hot as Hel(l). |
| 128 | * ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}} is 5'9", though this is downplayed as her (ex)husband is ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}, who at 6'3", is still OneHeadTaller. Also, artists tend to draw her shorter than ComicBook/BlackWidow, who herself is only 5'7", so this is very much DependingOnTheArtist. |
| 129 | * ''ComicBook/SheHulk'': In addition to being an AmazonianBeauty, She-Hulk is ''this'' trope as well. |
| 130 | ** Even in her normal Jennifer Walters form she's listed as 1,79 m (5'10"). |
| 131 | ** So are her EvilCounterpart, Red She-Hulk, and her [[TheRival rival]], Thundra. Lyra, the ''other'' She-Hulk, is this also. |
| 132 | ** She-Hulk's {{archenemy}}, Titania is also this. |
| 133 | * ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Stunner, who's over seven feet tall and looks like a bodybuilder in a skintight leotard. True to her name, she is described as breathtakingly beautiful, and in her first appearances, brags about how beautiful she is to some patrons at a bar, who judging by the smiles on their faces, don't disagree. It's later revealed that the reason why she's so beautiful is because she's actually a [[HardLight virtual reality construct]] (tangible hologram) controlled by Angelina Brancale. Angelina is an obese woman who wants to be thin and beautiful, so Doctor Octopus, another Spider-Man villain and her lover at the time, gives her a machine that allows her to be a Stunner. |
| 134 | * ''ComicBook/SpiderWoman'': Two of the Spider-Women count. Jessica Drew, the first and current Spider-Woman, is 5'10", while Julia Carpenter, the second [[InsistentTerminology who now goes by the name of]] Arachne [[spoiler:and later became the new Madame Web]], is 177 cm (5'9"). |
| 135 | * ''ComicBook/SquadronSupreme'': Power Princess, Marvel's CaptainErsatz of Wonder Woman. Her official height is listed as 6'8" (2.4 m), four inches taller than Hyperion, the Squadron's CaptainErsatz of [=Superman=]. |
| 136 | ** Power Princess' DarkerAndEdgier counterpart from the ''ComicBook/SupremePower'' universe is slightly shorter at 6'3" and while she's always been drawn tall she was originally more of a thin supermodel type. Then Frank Cho started drawing her in ''ComicBook/TheUltimates''. |
| 137 | * ''ComicBook/XMen'': |
| 138 | ** ComicBook/{{Storm|MarvelComics}} at 181 cm (5'11"), certainly qualifies. |
| 139 | ** ComicBook/{{Mystique}} at 179 cm (5'10") - and unlike Storm, they actually cast tall actresses as her [[Film/XMenFilmSeries in the movies]]. |
| 140 | ** ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}, also of the X-Men, is likewise 181 cm (5'11"). Her former crime-fighting partner Captain UK, real name Linda [=McQuillan=], is 188 cm (6'2"). |
| 141 | ** ComicBook/EmmaFrost at 5'10, tends to be drawn as the taller one when interacting with most other X-Women, especially ComicBook/KittyPryde and ComicBook/JeanGrey (both 5'6"). |
| 142 | |
| 143 | '''Other''' |
| 144 | * ''ComicBook/Agent327'': Olga Lawina is a tall woman, but also very beautiful. |
| 145 | * For some reason (probably because it's easy to draw elegant proportions with a taller character), all the beautiful women in ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'' are absolutely huge. Particularly jarring when Asterix asks Obelix if he fancies "little Panacea", when [[ShorterMeansSmarter Asterix is absolutely tiny]] and Panacea is shown to be the same height as the colossal Obelix. The single exception in the entire comic run is Influenza, who is much more cute than she is beautiful and seems to be considered attractive especially because of her unusual smallness. Camomilla in ''Asterix and the Picts'' is also quite short, but that book was drawn by a different artist. |
| 146 | * Meriem, the eponymous heroine of ''ComicBook/{{Cavewoman}}'', towers over her boyfriend Bruce and most of the other men in Marshville. |
| 147 | * In ''ComicBook/{{Echo}}'', the [[AppliedPhlebotinum Phi-project]] is slowly altering Julie Martin's body, making her grow larger and larger until she towers over everybody else in the group. People soon begin to assume that she is an actress or model, and when she denies anything of the sort they refuse to accept that she is not at least ''somehow'' a sex icon. |
| 148 | * Aspen Matthews of ''ComicBook/{{Fathom}}'' measures in at 175 cm, is lithe and curvaceous, and is usually clad in a bikini, tops. |
| 149 | * Caitlin Fairchild of ''ComicBook/{{Gen 13}}'' is 6'4" (184 cm). |
| 150 | * ''ComicBook/JemAndTheHologramsIDW'' is full of tall women. Clash is the tallest female, at 185 cm (only an inch shorter than Rio). Pizzaz, Kimber, Jem, and Jetta, in particular, are meant to be attractive and are all above-average height. |
| 151 | * ''ComicBook/MsTree'' stands 183 cm. |
| 152 | * ComicBook/RedSonja (181 cm) is definitely this, as well as an AmazonianBeauty. |
| 153 | * ComicBook/ShannaTheSheDevil stands at 179 cm. |
| 154 | * Ari, the resident Gorgon starlet from ''ComicBook/TheDemonMages'', clocks in at 196 cm. |
| 155 | * Channon Yarrow of ''ComicBook/{{Transmetropolitan}}'' is a head taller than everyone else in the cast, and supported herself through journalism school as a stripper. She is the one character who is both depicted and described as classically beautiful. |
| 156 | * ComicBook/LadyDeath was originally a SexyScandinavian woman named Hope before becoming an immortal warrior-sorceress. As such, her height and Amazonian physique are often emphasized. |
| 157 | * ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}: It's hard to come by with exact data, but her famous "life-size" Warren poster is 6 feet tall...and since it's taken from a frog perspective, you can easily add 10% for that. |
| 158 | [[/folder]] |
| 159 | |
| 160 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 161 | * A young Recovery Girl in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13198950/29/Crazy-Trouble-With-Love-Part-8 Alliance of Amazons and Izuku]]'' is seven feet tall and an absolute bombshell according to both Izuku and Midnight. |
| 162 | * ''FanFic/{{Bird}}'' Features Feral, a Protectorate hero and former patient at Alchemilla who towers over nearly all the other characters and is quite brawny. For clarification- when she comes to visit she ''picks her adopted father up and spins him around like a child''. |
| 163 | * ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has a couple: |
| 164 | ** Sif (just about - she's 5'9") who is both stunning and every bit the warrior goddess. |
| 165 | ** Carol, who though she first appears at the age of 14 and a half, she's about 5'10", has a relatively downplayed (due to age and realism) version of the MostCommonSuperpower, and generally already looks very much like her [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers canon counterpart]]. This means that she can pass for 21 without even trying and gets a lot of attention, [[UnwantedHarem much to her discomfort]] and that she spends the first book and a decent chunk of the second being clearly taller than Harry, whose friendship with her evolves into a mixture of an AnchoredShip, CourtlyLove, and VitriolicBestBuds, [[spoiler: and in chapter 46 of the sequel, MindlinkMates]]. When she gets a temporary PlotRelevantAgeUp, she's described as being basically the same, but with the finishing touches applied, including a bit more muscle and maybe an inch or two of height, taking her up to about 6 feet/183cm. |
| 166 | ** Diana, being on the cusp of adolescence (and a pre-teen/early teenage Wonder Woman) and mainly a BadassAdorable, is shown by the brief PlotRelevantAgeUp to be this as an adult, being described as about the same height as Carol, a little more muscular and absolutely jaw-droppingly gorgeous. By the sequel, when she's a fair bit taller and all dressed up, she can pass for several years older than she is and is regarded as extremely pretty. Considering who she is, this is hardly surprising. |
| 167 | * Suze in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5585493/1/Enter-the-Dragon Enter the Dragon]]'' is noted as being the "epitome of Grecian beauty" from the waist up and as a centaur, she's a little over 2 meters tall. |
| 168 | * In ''ComicBook/PowerGirl'' fanfic ''Fanfic/AForceOfFour'', [[TheDragon Badra]] is tall and considered beautiful or sensual by many characters. |
| 169 | -->She was tall, almost 6 feet in height, and vaguely stirred their carnality. |
| 170 | * ''Fanfic/ForLoveOfMagic'': |
| 171 | ** [[BlackWidow Adrastia Zabini]] is nearly six feet tall and considered drop-dead gorgeous even without using her sex magic. |
| 172 | ** In the [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13034223/13/A-Discordant-Note sequel]], when Harry makes them new bodies, Luna requests hers be over seven feet tall so she can be taller than Harry for once. Like Adrastia, many remark on her beauty, though she's considered less intimidating than the former. |
| 173 | * In ''Fanfic/ForumOfThrones'' there are a few examples: |
| 174 | ** Visenya Targaryen is about the same height as the average man, but still shorter than her imposing brother and she's [[BuxomBeautyStandard described as a harsh, buxom beauty]]. |
| 175 | ** Helen Arryn is also taller than the average woman and she's considered quite beautiful regardless. |
| 176 | ** Viveka Codd, while not a world-class beauty, is taller than average but regarded as pretty. |
| 177 | * ''Fanfic/FriendshipIsMagicalGirls'' has Applejack and, to a lesser extent, Rarity. |
| 178 | * ''Fanfic/TheGoodHunter'': |
| 179 | ** Ancalagon's human form resembles a woman almost reaching nine feet tall, and she is undoubtedly a beauty, as per Nial's P.O.V.. |
| 180 | ** The Doll is this according to Sierra[[spoiler: and the Wandering Scholar]]'s narrations. The former notes that the workshop steward has a "towering yet graceful form". As for the latter, not only she is the tallest woman he's ever seen, the Doll is described as "a beauty in all meanings of the word, but utterly unapproachable". |
| 181 | * Two of the major characters from the works of Creator/KhaosOmega are so beautiful they're considered to be on an entirely different level. |
| 182 | ** Main character Anise Azeat stands 5'8" without high heels (which is extremely rare). Kandyce Azeat (no relation to Anise outside of the Rainbow Angels) is 5'11". |
| 183 | * Jade, from ''Fanfic/TheLegendOfAnju'', is noted to be seven feet tall and quite pretty [[SamusIsAGirl when she's not wearing her Iron Knuckle armor]]. |
| 184 | * ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'' (''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', WesternAnimation, [[{{Series}} TV Series]], and ComicBooks.): [[Franchise/SailorMoon Makoto/Lita]] is stated to be taller than Danny, thought it doesn't diminish his interest in her. |
| 185 | * In ''Fanfic/NymeriasWar'', Dalia Sand is 6ft tall, towering over most people, and despite being in her thirties, she's still quite attractive. Then there's Jinora Ling, a Lengii from the far east, who stands out from nearly every other character in the setting by measuring ''7ft tall''. And her people are known for their beauty. |
| 186 | * In ''Fanfic/{{Origins}}'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}''[=/=]''Franchise/{{Halo}}'']] MassiveMultiplayerCrossover, Sarah [[spoiler:the Force-sensitive Siren]] is 2m (6'6") tall, was specifically designed by her creators to fit in among the most common species (humans), and has purple hair. Somewhat [[TakeOurWordForIt left up to the reader]], it is nonetheless strongly implied she is essentially a super-powered, but otherwise attractive ([[EvilMakesYouUgly unless she's angry]]) human-looking (colors aside) woman. |
| 187 | * In ''FanFic/OriginStory'', Alex just has that effect on people. She's 188 cm tall and built like a bodybuilder. Combine this with the MostCommonSuperpower and the effect is complete. |
| 188 | * There are several in ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'', such as Misty, Iris, Cynthia, Lorelei, Cheryl, Lucy, Clair, Belladona, Iolani, Betty, and Velvet. [[spoiler:There's the possibility that the last four are half sisters that inherited the height from their [[ReallyGetsAround shared father]].]] Iris is particularly statuesque given that she's even taller than Ash who's taller than his mother. |
| 189 | * Xanna (aka [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Kyuubi]]) in the ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9920512/1/Reaching-for-a-Dream Reaching for a Dream]]'' series is initially 193 cm but after ascending godhood, she makes her new body over 214 cm tall. Several characters remark on her beauty. |
| 190 | * In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/19111330/chapters/45412141 Shall We Make A Deal?]]'', Izuku is slightly above average height but Ibara is still a few inches taller than him (unless you count his horns) and Izuku is frequently distracted by her beauty, especially once they get over their initial rocky first meeting. |
| 191 | * In the ''Fanfic/SuperwomenOfEva'' story ''Fanfic/SuperwomenOfEvaEmeraldFury'', Misato Katsuragi becomes the ComicBook/SheHulk, growing to be about eight feet tall every time she transforms. The "stunner" part is hard for people to not notice, considering that ClothingDamage happens to her ''very'' often. |
| 192 | * Shampoo becomes this after becoming a CuteMonsterGirl in ''Fanfic/TeenTitansTokyo'', being a cute AnimeChineseGirl with [[BuxomBeautyStandard huge breasts]] who stands somewhere in the middle to high end of seven feet tall -- she's tall enough that her 6ft tall boyfriend, Ranma Saotome, is head-height with her bosom when they're both standing up. |
| 193 | * ''Fanfic/UnbreakableRedSilkenThread'': Jasmine is the tallest character in the story at 6 feet, and is the only character aside from themselves or Lindsay that Heather and Cody most frequently lust over. |
| 194 | * ''Fanfic/VoyagesOfTheWildSeaHorse:''' Miriam the [[SharkMan tiger shark]] [[NonHumanHumanoidHybrid hybrid]] is a whopping [[GiantWoman 426 centimeters tall]]. Despite her stature, her [[AmazonianBeauty rippling muscles]] and her [[BigBeautifulWoman permanent potbelly]], she's beautiful enough that even the multiply-engaged Ranma Saotome is impressed by her beauty when they first meet, and future crewmate Harumi Tsukuyomi (who is only 169 centimeters tall himself) is quite blatantly smitten at first sight. |
| 195 | * In Creator/MasakoX's Franchise/DragonBall fanfic ''Fanfic/WhatIfRaditzTurnedGood'', Raditz's daughter with Launch, Ranch takes after her father in height at 6'0"/183cm to 6'1"/185cm tall, and is the ImpliedLoveInterest of present Trunks and Future Ranch is the LoveInterest and later wife of Future Trunks. |
| 196 | * ''Fanfic/WhatsInAHoard'': |
| 197 | ** Ochako is a couple inches taller than the six-foot Izuku and he's left speechless by her beauty when they first meet. |
| 198 | ** Momo is slightly taller than Ochako and similarly gorgeous. |
| 199 | [[/folder]] |
| 200 | |
| 201 | [[folder:Film -- Animated]] |
| 202 | * ''Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon'': |
| 203 | ** The titular character from ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'' is nearly as tall as her film's leading man, John Smith, who, himself, stands tall above most of the other men in the movie. |
| 204 | ** Mother Gothel from ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'' is a very lovely and tall woman, rivaling even the male characters in height. |
| 205 | [[/folder]] |
| 206 | |
| 207 | [[folder:Film -- Live-Action]] |
| 208 | * The 6'2"/188 cm tall Creator/ElizabethDebicki has a few of those roles, specially ''Film/TheManFromUNCLE2015'' and ''Film/{{Widows}}'' (in the latter one, her height is particularly noticeable given she towers over the other widows). |
| 209 | * BMovie actress and Penthouse model Julie Strain tended to play AmazonianBeauty-type roles (for instance, in ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal2000'', with a [[InkSuitActor character directly modeled after her]]) given her 185 cm height. She named her autobiography ''Six Foot One And Worth The Climb''. |
| 210 | * Singer/actress Creator/GraceJones fits this trope both in real life (she's 5'8"/173 cm) and in her film roles, most notably ''Film/AViewToAKill'' and ''Film/ConanTheDestroyer''. |
| 211 | * Most films featuring the 5'11" Creator/SigourneyWeaver, could qualify by default, though ''Film/GalaxyQuest'' is one of few times she's actually played as MsFanservice. |
| 212 | * ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010'': The Knave of Hearts gets aroused when he sees Alice after she gets enlarged to 275 cm tall. |
| 213 | * ''Film/{{Avatar}}'': Technically any female [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Na'vi]], especially Neytiri, who run around in skimpy outfits. The Na'vi are on average 10 feet tall and easily dwarf any human. |
| 214 | * Karla Fry from ''Film/BeverlyHillsCopII'', portrayed by six-footer Creator/BrigitteNielsen, a Statuesque Stunner herself. |
| 215 | * ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'' |
| 216 | ** Creator/GalGadot, who plays Franchise/WonderWoman, stands 5'9.5"/176 cm. |
| 217 | ** Creator/ConnieNielsen, who plays Gadot's on-screen mother, stands 5'10"/178 cm. |
| 218 | ** Atlanna is played by the 5'10" Creator/NicoleKidman, and even the muscular and 6'4" tall Creator/JasonMomoa who plays her son [[Film/Aquaman2018 Arthur]] doesn't quite dwarf her. |
| 219 | * ''Film/ADogsPurpose'': Tino the Pembroke Welsh corgi falls for a Landseer dog named Roxy, a dog much bigger than he is. Roxy, however, is oblivious to his attraction to her, treating him as any other dog. |
| 220 | * ''Film/TheFifthElement'' |
| 221 | ** Leeloo, as described by Korban Dallas: |
| 222 | ---> '''Korban''': 5'9½"/177 cm, blue eyes, long legs, great skin. Y'know, ''perfect''. |
| 223 | ** Diva Plavalaguna, though the character is noticeably taller than her actress Maïwenn Le Besco (who still happens to be 175 cm). |
| 224 | * ''{{Film/Goldengirl}}'' has Goldine (played by 5'11"/180 cm [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L1tbTa3HD78/UEEqH-n53mI/AAAAAAAAAHI/JsxkUedaYIY/s1600/Susan-Anton-Feet-201214.jpg Susan Anton]], though promotional materials advertised her as [[https://acimg.auctivacommerce.com/imgdata/0/2/4/6/4/0/webimg/6956211.jpg 188 cm]]), created through experimental drugs by a [[HerrDoktor German]] [[ThoseWackyNazis scientist]] which would enhance the test subject into a perfect athlete. |
| 225 | * ''Film/GunsGirlsAndGambling'': The Blonde, a ProfessionalKiller dressed in a cleavage-baring SpyCatsuit and utilizing a lot of SheFu, stands eye to eye with John Smith: meaning she is at least 5'8". |
| 226 | * ''Film/HigherLearning'': Malik begins to date Deja, a beautiful young woman who's quite tall (more than any other female student seen). Fittingly, she runs track like him. The camera [[LegFocus focuses on her long legs]] for a continuous shot at one point. |
| 227 | * Real-life supermodel Amber Valletta in ''Film/{{Hitch}}'', especially compared to her suitor Creator/KevinJames. |
| 228 | * ''Film/TheIncredibleJessicaJames'': The 6'0" Jessica is very proud of her height and mentions it randomly. She's taller than everyone in the film except for Boone. |
| 229 | -->'''Jessica:''' Look at me. I'm tall, I'm pretty, I'm smart. I am a coco queen. Obviously, I will have many great loves in my life. |
| 230 | * ''Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle'' has Ruby Roundhouse, a send-off of ThirdPersonSeductress characters such as [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]], and given she's portrayed by the 5'11"/180 cm Creator/KarenGillan, usually only Wrestling/DwayneJohnson is taller than her. |
| 231 | * Creator/UmaThurman, who plays The Bride in ''Film/KillBill'', stands 5'11"/181 cm. Her appearance in Creator/QuentinTarantino's earlier movie ''Film/PulpFiction'' also counts, as Creator/JohnTravolta's attraction to her is a plot point. |
| 232 | * ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' |
| 233 | ** Pepper Potts is played by 5'9"/175 cm Creator/GwynethPaltrow. |
| 234 | ** Betty Ross is played by 5'10"/178 cm Creator/LivTyler. |
| 235 | ** Sif is played by 5'9"/175 cm Creator/JaimieAlexander. |
| 236 | ** Frigga is played by 5'8"/173 cm Creator/ReneRusso. |
| 237 | ** Maria Hill is played by 5'8"/173 cm Creator/CobieSmulders. |
| 238 | ** Maya Hansen is played by 5'10"/178 cm Creator/RebeccaHall. |
| 239 | ** Sharon Carter is played by 5'8"/173 cm Creator/EmilyVanCamp. |
| 240 | ** Michelle "MJ" Jones is played by 5'10"/178 cm {{Creator/Zendaya}}. |
| 241 | ** Liz [[spoiler:Toomes]]-Allan is played by 5'9"/176 cm Creator/LauraHarrier. |
| 242 | ** Nebula is not conventionally one because of her plethora of cybernetic implants and lack of hair, but in ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021'', her variant in episode 2 has much less cybernetic implants and has flowing golden blond hair, more easily showing the beauty of her actress Creator/KarenGillan. |
| 243 | ** Helen Cho is played by 5'9.5"/177 cm Claudia Kim. |
| 244 | ** Ayesha is played by 6'3"/190 cm Creator/ElizabethDebicki. |
| 245 | ** Hela is played by 5'8"/173 cm Creator/CateBlanchett. |
| 246 | ** Minn-Erva and Sersi are played by 5'8"/173 cm Creator/GemmaChan. |
| 247 | * ''Franchise/TheMatrix'' Trilogy has female lead Trinity played by the 5'8"/173 cm Creator/CarrieAnneMoss. Her height is really noticeable thanks to the tight leather outfits she loves to wear. |
| 248 | * Callahan in the ''Film/PoliceAcademy'' movies. Also qualifies as an AmazonianBeauty, she's tall, blonde, busty, with a hard-toned and ''perfect'' figure. It's ''very'' hard for [[DistractedByTheSexy men to work out in the same gym]] that she is. |
| 249 | * ''Film/RoomInRome'': Natasha is a tall (the actress is 5'8), gorgeous professional tennis player. Alba flirtatiously refers to her as "long legs" once in the film. |
| 250 | * ''Film/{{Sheroes}}'': Diamond and Ryder. Both are quite tall, beautiful young women, which they show off with revealing outfits or swimsuits during the film. |
| 251 | * The producers of ''Film/SingingInTheRain'' invoked this trope intentionally through a bit of flimflammery. In her heels, Creator/CydCharisse is actually taller than Creator/GeneKelly in their dance number together, but in reality, both were only 5'7" tall. They were shot from upward angles to accentuate their heights (and highlight Charisse's legs). |
| 252 | * ''Film/{{Species}}'' stars Creator/NatashaHenstridge because such a hot and tall (5'9½"/176 cm) woman must clearly be an alien. The sequels followed the same model, with parts 3 and 4 having 5'7"/170 cm Sunny Mabrey and 5'7.5"/171 cm Helena Mattsson. |
| 253 | * Madison in ''Film/{{Splash}}'' is played by the gorgeous Creator/DarylHannah who stands 5'10"/178 cm. |
| 254 | * Invoked in ''Film/ToWongFooThanksForEverythingJulieNewmar''. The three {{drag queen}}s reluctantly enter a hotel during a break in their road trip, where they're warmly greeted by the manager who says their "friends" have already arrived. The queens are confused at what he's talking about but they follow him, expecting to find other drag queens. But instead, they stumble upon a conference of ''women's basketball players''. GilliganCut to Noxeema playing a pickup game with them the next day. |
| 255 | * Almost every female character from ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' is an attractively tall woman. The voluptuous Jessica towers over both Roger Rabbit and Eddie Valiant. And on a human level there is Dolores (Joanna Cassidy is 5'9"/175 cm), Eddie's girlfriend. Even Baby Herman's "nanny" is tall. |
| 256 | * ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' |
| 257 | ** Jean Grey, in quite an amusing way, since the comics Jean is 169 cm, but Creator/FamkeJanssen (6'0"/183 cm) is tall enough to surpass Creator/JamesMarsden (leading to [[ScullyBox some on-screen trickery to hide the fact]]). Creator/SophieTurner is 5'8½"/174 cm, so this trope is also in play for the adolescent version of the character in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' (this also makes her a little taller than Tye Sheridan, who plays the teen version of Cyclops). |
| 258 | ** Mystique in the original trilogy, where she's played by the 5'10.5" (179 cm) Creator/RebeccaRomijn. For the ''[[Film/XMenFirstClass First Class]]'' trilogy, Creator/JenniferLawrence is 5'8" (170 cm), which makes her only slightly shorter than Magneto. |
| 259 | ** Kayla Silverfox, Wolverine's LoveInterest in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', is a HotTeacher played by 5'8" Creator/LynnCollins. |
| 260 | ** [[AmazonianBeauty Angel Dust]] from ''Film/{{Deadpool 2016}}'' is played by 5'8"/173 cm Creator/GinaCarano. |
| 261 | [[/folder]] |
| 262 | |
| 263 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 264 | * Sadie from ''Literature/ElevenTwentyTwoSixtyThree'' is about 185 cm and, by all accounts, quite the bombshell. |
| 265 | * The majority of the ''Literature/BloodAndSilver'' female cast fill the Stunner part of this trope, being vampires. Some of them, such as the 6'2" Magdalena, the 5'10" Ariella, or Dana and Grace, both of whom are 5'8, definitely fulfill the Statuesque part. |
| 266 | * ''Literature/TheChangeRoom'': Shar is repeatedly described as quite tall and very beautiful. |
| 267 | * In ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'', Jadis the White Witch is about 2 meters tall. In ''Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe'', Edmund was enamored with her. In ''Literature/TheMagiciansNephew'', Digory and his uncle Arthur thought she was the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman. |
| 268 | * In the Norse dark fantasy novel ''Literature/AClashOfGods'', the death goddess Hel lands squarely in this trope thanks to her Jotun heritage. Even the above-average Morana, who is nearly as tall as the six-foot-two Thor, is forced to look up into her eyes. While she is rather gruesome in her left side, her right side is noted to be strikingly beautiful, if somewhat severe. |
| 269 | * Creator/EdwardBulwerLytton's novel ''Literature/TheComingRace'' describes the "Vril-Ya", a utopian society in the interior of the earth, where all women are beautiful and taller than men. This is when men of this society are as tall as the tallest men on the earth's surface. Zee, the most important female character in the book, is described as being seven feet tall. |
| 270 | * Lizzy of the web-novel ''Literature/{{Domina}}'' is described as bronze-skinned, golden-eyed, and over six feet. Sounds like the description of a Greek goddess. |
| 271 | * ''Many'' female characters in ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', both human ([[ActionMom Charity]], [[PerkyGoth Molly]], [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Georgia]], etc.) and otherwise ([[LadyOfWar Gard]], [[VampiresAreSexGods Lara]], [[TheFairFolk Lea]], etc.), to the point that AuthorAppeal is strongly suspected. |
| 272 | * ''Literature/EarthsChildren'': |
| 273 | ** By the time she's seventeen, Ayla is nearly six feet tall and regarded as very attractive (though she thinks she's "big and ugly", due to the different beauty standards of the Clan). She was actually based upon a real skeleton of an unusually tall Cro-Magnon woman found in France. In the film adaptation of ''The Clan of the Cave Bear'', Ayla was portrayed by Creator/DarylHannah, who is 5'10". |
| 274 | ** Whilst she's not as tall as Ayla, Joplaya is still considered tall for a woman and is also very beautiful. She gets her height from her dad; both he and Joplaya's paternal half-brother Jondalar are unusually tall (over six feet), while her mother is quite short. |
| 275 | ** Serenio is described as attractive and quite tall, reaching Jondalar's chin (Jondalar is 6'6"). |
| 276 | * Sarene from ''Literature/{{Elantris}}''. Played with, as she is tall even for her own people, has moved to a city where the average height is ''much'' shorter, and has developed something of a complex about her height (which the cultural height difference only exacerbates). |
| 277 | %%* Mirtai (and most Atan women) in ''Literature/TheElenium'' and ''Literature/TheTamuli''. She's also deadly and a knife wielder to boot. |
| 278 | * Cimorene of the ''Literature/EnchantedForestChronicles'' is mentioned to be as tall as most men. |
| 279 | * The first two things mentioned about Avalon Sinclaire in ''Literature/HereticalEdge'' are her height and her beauty compared to Flick. |
| 280 | * In ''Literature/TheFallenArises'', Karliah is noted to be nearly as tall as Oliver, making her - and Vermillia, who can look her in the eye - nearly five foot eleven. Shyra also notes that both are very beautiful, even flawless. |
| 281 | * In ''Literature/TheFifthSeason'', the beauty standards of the Sanze Empire prize women who are at least six feet tall with [[BigBeautifulWoman full figures]], [[HartmanHips ample hips]], and ideally [[AmazonianBeauty a fair bit of muscle]]. In this case, it's meant to improve survivability during the periods that the land turns into a DeathWorld. |
| 282 | * Madame Maxime in the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' series is described as incredibly attractive. She is secretly [[HalfHumanHybrid half-giant]] but she hides her condition making herself pass as just "very tall". |
| 283 | %%* Literature/HonorHarrington, who at 188 cm (6'2") is one of the taller characters in the series. The fact that she considered herself a HugeSchoolgirl in her youth, with attendant self-esteem issues, had large implications in the early books. |
| 284 | * In the ''Literature/{{Hurog}}'' duology, Ward has a crush on a woman who is very tall and has more muscles than many men. His thoughts imply that he considers this very attractive; mainly because he's a GentleGiant and other women might be a bit too frail and delicate for his tastes. |
| 285 | * ''Literature/JudgeDee'': While not exactly considered beautiful by the judge due to DeliberateValuesDissonance (she's Mongolian, and thus doesn't look quite right according to the Chinese ideals of beauty at the time), Miss [[NonIndicativeName Violet]] Liang is a wrestler as tall as the judge (himself exceptionally tall for the time) who curbstomps three attempted kidnappers. And the guildmaster of the Beggars' Guild (also a huge guy) is head over heels for her, and even a prince of the Imperial court asked that she inform him if she got married so that he could send the husband a silver stepladder with which to ascend her. |
| 286 | * ''Literature/MillenniumSeries'': Aside from her muscular physique, AmazonianBeauty Monica Figuerola of ''The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest'' is this too, being described as being 6 feet tall. |
| 287 | * Isabelle Lightwood from ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'' is very tall and beautiful, attracting the attention of many boys. According to Jace, Isabelle hates being taller than most boys her age and would rather be dainty and petite. |
| 288 | * ''Literature/OldKingdom'': |
| 289 | ** In "Sabriel", the titular character is described as being as tall, in fact about the same height as her male companion Touchstone [[spoiler: (later her husband). As their son is described as being a bit over six feet tall and having inherited his height from both of them, it seems both are around or over 6 feet tall.]] Touchstone also describes her as being beautiful and it seems, from all of her exploits, that she is quite strong. |
| 290 | ** In "Lirael" Ellimere is begrudgingly described by her brother as being "pretty - some even cobsidered her beautiful", and he also notes that she stands a bit taller than his 6 feet 0.5 inches. She is also noted as being quite athletic, particularly enjoying tennis and horse riding. |
| 291 | ** Sanar and Ryelle are both described as being very tall and incredibly beautiful, though in a more willowy way. |
| 292 | %%* Evelyn, the narrator and protagonist of "Paper Chains" by Jane Langton, is a 183 cm redhead. And her parents have always encouraged her not to slouch. |
| 293 | * At 175 cm, Annabeth Chase of ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' is described as being an attractive, athletic, well figured, tanned skinned blond who resembles a princess, with characters up to the Goddess of Love and Beauty saying she has "grown into quite a beautiful young lady". Her film portrayer, Creator/AlexandraDaddario, is only slightly shorter (173 cm) and pulls off the looks. |
| 294 | * ''Literature/PleaseDontTellMyParentsImASupervillain'': RecurringCharacter Delicious is seven feet tall and has thickly muscled limbs, but she also has an impressive figure that she occasionally takes the trouble of covering with a bikini. |
| 295 | * ''Literature/TheRiseOfKyoshi'': Avatar Kyoshi is described by a couple of people as being quite beautiful. She's also described as being unusually tall for a woman and is taller than most men she comes across. |
| 296 | * Galadriel 'El' Higgins from ''Literature/TheScholomance'' is 5'10" and still growing when the first book ''A Deadly Education'' starts and is noticably muscular due to the constant exercise she uses to build {{mana}}. She is also distinctly attractive in a striking way despite her [[PerpetualFrowner generally hostile demeanor]], shakey-even-by-Scholomance-standards level of grooming, and persistent air of disquiet born of her [[ApocalypseMaiden earth-shattering]] capacity for BlackMagic. |
| 297 | * ''Literature/SmallWorldTabithaKingNovel'': Leyna Shaw, who stands 6'7" in heels and is an object of lust for the entire D.C. press pool. |
| 298 | * ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': |
| 299 | ** In "The Hedge Knight", one of the ''Literature/TalesOfDunkAndEgg'', we have the brief romance between Ser Duncan the Tall and a Puppeteer Tanselle Too-Tall. During their exchange of names, Tanselle notes that she often gets reactions regarding this trope because of her height. |
| 300 | ** In ''Literature/TheWorldOfIceAndFire'', we learn that one of the distant nations, Leng, is known for its beautiful women, and its people being 210 to 240 cm tall. [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/c8d5ab10779ac4cbfb3a9414a6c80ecf/tumblr_ne6tfkHTUo1u2n5cyo1_500.png There's an illustration.]] |
| 301 | * Patrick Tilley's ''Star Wartz'' features Shalimar, who is described as "seven feet (214 cm) of exotic fantasy fodder". A significant chunk of the hero's motivation includes the distant hope of sleeping with her. [[spoiler:It later turns out the top twenty centimeters or so are the result of her hairstyle. 194 cm is still pretty tall, though.]] |
| 302 | * In ''Literature/{{Thud}}'', Nobby's stripper girlfriend Tawnee is described as being over 6' (1.8m) tall and so attractive she believes she's hideous because Nobby is the first male to not instantly mark her as inconceivably far out of their league and so the first male to ever ask her out. |
| 303 | * ''Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium'': |
| 304 | ** Galadriel of ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' et al is this. She is said to be 193 cm (the tallest elf woman ever born) and one of the most stunning beauties in [[TheVerse Middle Earth]]. She is played by Creator/CateBlanchett in the [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings film series]] who is 177 cm and was deliberately filmed at angles that made her seem a lot taller than most of the other characters. |
| 305 | ** Éowyn is also stated to be tall, but never given a specific height. Her brother is 6'6"/198cm and she was able to dress up like a Rohirrim soldier, with Merry mistaking her for a "slender man". Usual estimates put her at 5'10"/178cm to 5'11"/180cm. She's played by the average height 5'5"/165cm Creator/MirandaOtto in the films. |
| 306 | ** Lúthien, especially in comparison to her human husband Beren (although he's hardly short by human standards). Her father Thingol was the tallest elf to ever live, and her mother Melian is described as almost equal in height ([[OurAngelsAreDifferent a sign that she's NOT an elf]]). Her son Dior is also said to be tall. While Lúthien's exact height is never stated, it's made pretty clear that she would be taller than Beren. |
| 307 | * Lanfear of ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'', who is consistently stated to be the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman and stands almost as tall as the 6'6" Rand al'Thor. |
| 308 | * ''Literature/WonderWomanWarbringer'': Diana, which several characters mention. |
| 309 | -->''[S]he was just as Alia remembered her - six feet tall and gorgeous, built like someone who could sell weird fitness equipment on late-night television.'' |
| 310 | [[/folder]] |
| 311 | |
| 312 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 313 | * ''Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun'': |
| 314 | ** Kristen Johnston is 6'0"/182 cm tall, and frequently plays this type of character, but is best known as Sally Solomon. Much of the comedy in the early seasons comes from the conflict between her stunning Earth body and her alien identity as a warrior. |
| 315 | ** There is a story arc where Sally feels threatened by new policewoman Janice, who is played by the very statuesque professional wrestler Wrestling/{{Chyna}}. Two 1.8-meter-tall women jostle for dominance. Unforgettably. |
| 316 | * 5'11"/180 cm Creator/AdriannePalicki playing [[ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}} Bobbi Morse]]/[[ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames Mockingbird]] in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''. She's at least one head taller than the other girls on the team, and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Jemma even starts to show some intense admiration for Bobbi]]. She's taller than everyone on the team except for Mack. |
| 317 | * Steven Tyler committed a serious faux pas on season 11 of ''Series/AmericanIdol'' by referring to Shannon Magrane, who is over 1.8 meters tall at age 16, as "hot, humid, and happening". Directly to [[PapaWolf her father's face.]] |
| 318 | %%* In Season 2 of ''Series/TheApprentice'' there was Pamela Day, the towering contestant who was best known for being the only woman on the men's team and the brains behind many of their successes. |
| 319 | * The Series/{{Arrowverse}} is flooded with them. |
| 320 | %%** From ''Series/TheFlash2014'': Both Kelly Frye (Bette Sans Souci/Plastique) and Creator/ShantelVanSanten (Patty Spivot) stand 175 cm, while Creator/AnneDudek (Tracy Brand) stands a whopping 177 cm. |
| 321 | ** From ''Series/TheFlash2014'': Cisco had a SexySecretary who stands 181 cm but only appeared once in an AlternateTimeline during the Season 3 premiere. |
| 322 | ** From ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'': Creator/StephanieCorneliussen (Valentina Vostok) stands as one of the two (see above) tallest women on Earth-1 standing a whopping 5'11"/180 cm, Elyse Levesque (Queen Guinevere) is royally gorgeous at 5'9.5"/176 cm, and Creator/CiaraRenee (Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl) is 5'7"/170 cm. |
| 323 | ** From ''Series/{{Supergirl 2015}}'': Creator/MelissaBenoist (the title character) is a knockout at 5'6"/168 cm. Her on-screen ArchEnemy (well, one of them) Britt Morgan (Leslie Willis/Livewire) is a stunner and is one-and-a-half-inch taller. Creator/BrendaStrong (Lillian Luthor) is the tallest woman in both the show and the franchise at 6'0"/183 cm tall. Creator/LyndaCarter (U.S. President Olivia Marsdin) is also a [[{{Pun}} standout]] at 5'9.5"/177 cm. In both Luthor and Marsdin's cases, they also overlap this trope with SilverFox. |
| 324 | * Catwoman, as played by Julie Newmar on ''Series/Batman1966'', was 5'11"/180 cm. Wearing heels, she even towered over her own henchmen. |
| 325 | * Number Six of ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'', played by fanboy-endorsed Creator/TriciaHelfer who stands at 5'10"/178 cm. Especially in the miniseries, she towers over 5'7" James Callis (Baltar). Number Eight AKA Sharon Valerii also counts, as she's played by Creator/GracePark, who stands at 5'9" and is unusually tall compared to most Asian women. |
| 326 | * In ''Series/BirdsOfPrey2002'', two of the eponymous trio are tall and gorgeous; lead protagonist [[ComicBook/{{Huntress}} Helena Kyle]] played by the 5'7.5"/171 cm Ashley Scott, and NaiveNewcomer [[ComicBook/BlackCanary Dinah Lance/Redmond]] played by the 5'9"/175 cm Creator/RachelSkarsten. Not that remaining member [[ComicBook/{{Oracle}} Barbara Gordon]], played by Creator/DinaMeyer, is a slouch at 169 cm. |
| 327 | * On ''Series/{{Bones}}'', Angela Montenegro's actress Creator/MichaelaConlin, who is at 5'9"/175 cm, is actually taller than Creator/TJThyne, who plays her husband Jack Hodgins. The eponymous protagonist herself is played by Creator/EmilyDeschanel, a lovely woman who stands 5'8"/173 cm. |
| 328 | * ''Franchise/{{Buffyverse}}'': |
| 329 | ** ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': Michelle Trachtenberg as Dawn Summers just shoots up over her three seasons on the show until she is five feet seven and a half, the tallest of all the Buffy girls including her screen sister Buffy (five feet three inches) and mother Joyce (five feet seven inches). This is lampshaded in season 6 where Buffy observes "I should be the taller sister" and by Faith (Eliza Dushku at five feet five inches) in season 7 where she comments "Brat's all woman sized". It is also the subject of an in-joke in 'Chosen' where Dawn expresses a desire to wear high heels more often. |
| 330 | ** ''Series/{{Angel}}'' is populated by Charisma Carpenter (five feet seven inches) and Stephanie Romanov (five feet nine inches) who are permanently in high heels. So much so that Christian Kane as Lindsey was perceived by many fans as being quite short despite being five feet eight inches tall (referred to as a "Tiny Texan" by Spike in 'Soul Purpose'. |
| 331 | %%* ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' has [[BodyguardCrush Sarah]], [[CoolBigSis Ellie]], [[HeroicSeductress Carina]]... they really like their leggy [[InJoke Valkyries]]. |
| 332 | * President Mackenzie Allen of ''Series/CommanderInChief'', who is both gorgeous and played by the 183 cm Creator/GeenaDavis. In heels, she was often the same height as her on-screen husband, 194 cm Kyle Secor. Her height also helped quite a bit in intimidating political opponents, of which she had many. |
| 333 | %%* ''Series/TheDefenders2017'': |
| 334 | %%** ''Series/Daredevil2015'': Karen Page is played by 5'8.5"/174 cm Creator/DeborahAnnWoll, though the height is not really noticeable whenever she's alongside her costars, the 5'10"/178 cm Creator/CharlieCox or 5'9.5"/177 cm Creator/EldenHenson. |
| 335 | %%** Series/{{Jessica Jones|2015}} is played by 5'9"/175 cm Creator/KrystenRitter. |
| 336 | %%** Trish Walker is played by the 5'8"/173 cm Creator/RachaelTaylor. |
| 337 | %%** Jeri Hogarth is played by the 5'8"/173 cm Creator/CarrieAnneMoss. |
| 338 | %%** BigBad Alexandra Reid is played by the 5'11"/180 cm Creator/SigourneyWeaver. |
| 339 | * From ''Series/{{Castle|2009}}'', Kate Beckett (played by 5'9"/175 cm Creator/StanaKatic), combined with her looks, her clothes, and everything else, makes her really, really MsFanservice material. |
| 340 | * Companion/miniskirt enthusiast Amy Pond of ''Series/DoctorWho'', portrayed by the 5'11"/180 cm Creator/KarenGillan. Lampshaded by her somewhat more petite successor, Clara Oswald (played by the 5'2"/157 cm Creator/JennaColeman), when she remarks in the mini-episode [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33ShortClaraAndTheTardis "Clara and the TARDIS"]] (upon seeing a photo of the miniskirted Amy), "My God, that woman is made of legs!" |
| 341 | * Creator/GinaTorres plays Zoe Washburn on ''Series/{{Firefly}}''. She stands 5'10". Her husband Wash, played by Creator/AlanTudyk, is two inches taller, but Zoe sometimes ends up a couple of inches taller than him between the heels on her BootsOfToughness and Alan’s tendency to slouch a little as the geeky NonActionGuy. She’s at least a head taller than 5'4" Kaylee (Jewel Staite) and has a few inches on 5'8" River (Summer Glau) and 5'7" Inara (Morena Baccarin) as well. Only the men on the ship are either slightly taller or still tower over her in Jayne's/Adam Baldwin's case. |
| 342 | * ''Series/GameOfThrones'': |
| 343 | ** Like in the novels, Sansa Stark is exceptionally tall and statuesque. Creator/SophieTurner, who plays Sansa, is taller at 5'8.5"/174 cm than some men in the cast. She stands a full head taller than her sister. Her height is lampshaded by Cersei in their first meeting. |
| 344 | %%** Creator/GwendolineChristie, who is Brienne of Tarth, is absolutely gargantuan at 6'3"/191 cm but is far more attractive than the character described in the novels. WordOfGod has it that part of what won her the role of Brienne is that she showed up to her audition done up to look as homely as Brienne does in the books (on top of showing up in an actual suit of armor). |
| 345 | %%* Barbara Feldon on ''Series/GetSmart'' had to slump a bit next to star Don Adams. |
| 346 | %%* ''Series/GhostWhisperer'': Andrea Moreno (Aisha Tyler), Melinda's five-eleven-tall TokenBlackFriend - Andrea mentioned in one episode how being a tall black woman made it hard for her to get dates in Grandview. |
| 347 | * ''Series/TheGoodPlace'': |
| 348 | ** Tahani Al-Jamil played by the 5'9.5"/177 cm Creator/JameelaJamil. This is especially noticeable because she is often shown next to Eleanor, played by Creator/KristenBell, who is 5'1"/155 cm, and Tahani often wears heels and Eleanor wears sneakers or boots. Eleanor even calls her a "sexy skyscraper." |
| 349 | ** Janet, played by 5'10"/178cm tall Creator/DArcyCarden, also fits the role, with several characters being attracted to her in-universe or commenting on her looks. |
| 350 | * ''Series/GossipGirl2007'': |
| 351 | ** Creator/BlakeLively is taller than her co-star Creator/LeightonMeester (she's a touch over 5'9"/175 cm, Leighton... isn't) and many of the rest of the cast, a point acknowledged in "The Magnificent Archibalds": |
| 352 | --->'''Aaron''': Serena's life is complicated?\ |
| 353 | '''Dan''': Yeah. I don't know about you but the Serena I know has long, flowing blonde hair, towers over both of us?[[note]]While Blake Lively is, in fact, taller than Creator/PennBadgley (Dan) in real life, John Patrick Amedori (Aaron) is a bit taller than her. But not much.[[/note]] |
| 354 | ** Creator/TaylorMomsen who plays Jenny isn't much far behind at 5'6.5"/169 cm. |
| 355 | ** Kelly Rutherford who plays Blake's on-screen mother isn't much far behind at height (she's 5'8"/173 cm) and certainly a beauty. |
| 356 | * ''Series/GossipGirl2021'': Luna is much taller than all the other girls, especially noticeable when she's facing Julien. She's also quite beautiful (her actress Creator/ZionMoreno is a model who's 6 feet tall). |
| 357 | * ''Series/Hawkeye2021'': Maya/Echo's 5 foot 8 and good-looking. |
| 358 | * In ''Series/TheHonourableWoman'', Dame Julia Walsh, the ever-so-foxy and snarkish head of [[UsefulNotes/SecretIntelligenceService MI6]], is played by Janet [=McTeer=], who is 6'0.5"/184 cm. |
| 359 | * On ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', [[Creator/CobieSmulders Robin]] is definitely considered attractive. Marshall once called Robin "freakishly tall." Of course, she's got nothing on the women in Marshall's hometown. |
| 360 | * ''Series/IClaudius'': Everyone agrees that Claudius's wife Plautia Urgulanilla has a pretty face, but the moment that she stands up during their wedding ceremony, revealing that she's a full head taller than her middling-height husband, his own family bursts into mocking laughter. |
| 361 | * [[Creator/CatherineBell Sarah MacKenzie]] from ''Series/{{JAG}}'' is the MsFanservice of the show. Although the two previous female leads Caitlin Pike and Meg Austin were a bit taller. |
| 362 | * In an episode of ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'', a perp refers to Casey Novak as "blonde and statuesque." Creator/DianeNeal is 5'10" and quite attractive, both in-universe and out. Her predecessor, Alexandra Cabot is no slouch either, being only slightly shorter than Novak and [[HelloAttorney is very good-looking]] herself. |
| 363 | * An example of this Trope appeared as far back as ''Series/LeaveItToBeaver'', believe it or not. Wally's school was having a formal dance with another school where the boys were matched with girls from the other school (and vice-versa) as dance partners by lottery, and one of Wally's rather sneaky friends - who had obtained the rival school's yearbook - offered to trade with him. At first, it seemed like a bargain because the girl was sweet and a knockout; however, she was ''very'' tall. (A handicap for dancing.) Fortunately, the girl was able to switch from heels to flats and get rid of a corset in order to match his size better. |
| 364 | * ''Series/{{Lost}}'''s Juliet Burke, a HospitalHottie played by 5'8.5"/174 cm Creator/ElizabethMitchell. |
| 365 | * Series/{{Lucifer}} uses Creator/TriciaHelfer's height (at 5'10") to excellent effect as she towers over her co-stars in her role as Goddess of All Creation. Special mention goes to any scene she has with Dr. Linda (Racheal Harris at 5'2"). |
| 366 | -->'''Dr. Linda:''' You're certainly very ... tall. |
| 367 | * ''Series/MadAboutYou'' has a downplayed case with Jamie Buchman, played by 5'7"/170 cm Creator/HelenHunt. On-screen husband Creator/PaulReiser would even elaborate that he might be taller (5'10"/1,78 m), but like most people, his height is concentrated in the legs, while Hunt is "mostly torso", so when both are sitting they look the same height. |
| 368 | * ''Series/Miranda2009'': Comedienne Miranda Hart stands about 6'1"/185 cm tall. Part of the visual comedy of her eponymous show revolves around the size contrast between Miranda and her onscreen mother, the very petite Patricia Hodge. Her onscreen comedy partner Sarah Hadland is also around the 156 cm mark. |
| 369 | * ''Series/MyLivingDoll'' also starred Julie Newmar, this time as a female android who towered over most male cast members. |
| 370 | %%* In ''Series/TheNightManager'', Creator/ElizabethDebicki (playing Jed Marshall, 187 cm) is noticeably taller than Creator/HughLaurie. |
| 371 | %%* ''Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack'': |
| 372 | %%** Alex Vause is played by 5'9.5"/177 cm Creator/LauraPrepon. |
| 373 | %%** Sophia Burset is played by 5'11"/180 cm Creator/LaverneCox. |
| 374 | %%* ''Series/OrphanBlack'': |
| 375 | %%** Aynsley Norris is played by the 5'10"/178 cm Natalie Lisinska and is the tallest woman in the series. Aynsley's height is really noticeable during her CatFight with [[TheLancer Alison]], who is played by the 5'4"/163 cm Creator/TatianaMaslany. |
| 376 | ** The final season introduces [[DirtyCop villainous]] FairCop Maddie Enger who is played by 176 cm Elyse Levesque. She is the second tallest woman in the series after the aforementioned Aynsley. |
| 377 | * In one episode of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', George mentions that he'd like to have sex with an extremely tall woman. At the end of the episode, [[BrickJoke he meets such a woman]], though we don't know if he succeeded in sleeping with her. |
| 378 | * Eliza Dooley of ''Series/{{Selfie}}'' - tall, beautiful, long legs, played by Creator/KarenGillan. |
| 379 | %%* ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'' sees Jameela Jamil playing ComicBook/SheHulk's ArchEnemy Titania, with She-Hulk herself towering over most people as well. |
| 380 | * Mini from ''Series/{{Skins}}'' fits all the requirements of this trope, with Freya Mavor, the actress who plays her, being a 5'9"/175 cm blonde with light eyes, freckles, and wavy hair. |
| 381 | * ''Series/{{Smallville}}'': Lois Lane (As played by the 5'7"/170 cm Creator/EricaDurance) fits the bill nicely being a MsFanservice with a BuxomBeautyStandard figure. |
| 382 | * Cat Deeley, at 5'9" and always in heels, usually towers over the contestants on ''Series/SoYouThinkYouCanDance''. |
| 383 | * In ''Series/SpaceRangers1993'', Jojo Thorson is played by the 6'0" tall Marjorie Monaghan. |
| 384 | * Half of the female cast of ''Series/{{Spartacus}}'' stands between 175 - 179 cm. Most of them are {{Action Girl}}s, which is not a bad thing, considering that this is a show about gladiators. |
| 385 | * ''Series/SpecialOpsLioness'': Cruz is beautiful and very tall (her actress is 5'8). |
| 386 | * ''Franchise/StarTrek'': |
| 387 | %%** Any characters played by 6'0.5"/184 cm tall Suzie Plakson: Dr. Selar, K'Ehleyr, the female Q, and Tarah. |
| 388 | %%** Michelle Forbes, who played Ro Laren on ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', is a little shorter at 5'9"/175 cm, but still cuts quite an imposing figure. |
| 389 | %%** From ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', Jadzia Dax is played by the 6'0"/182 cm Terry Farrell. Kira Nerys is played by 5'8"/173cm Nana Visitor. Interestingly, since most of the cast was around 6' tall, they usually had Nana Visitor in heels, to appear as an equal to them. |
| 390 | %%* The title character of ''Series/SuddenlySusan'', played by Creator/BrookeShields, is usually credited as being between 5'10.5"/179cm to 6'0"/183cm tall. |
| 391 | * ''Series/{{Suits}}'' has Donna Paulsen, played by Sarah Rafferty, and Samantha Wheeler, played by Katherine Heigl, who are both 5'8.5". Gina Torres, who played Jessica Pearson on ''Suits'' and now does so on spinoff ''Series/{{Pearson}}'', is 5'10" in her bare feet. When Jessica is in heels, she towers over ''everybody''. |
| 392 | * Sam's [[TheLostLenore late]] girlfriend/fiancee Jessica in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' is 5'11"/180 cm (and played by the previously-mentioned Creator/AdriannePalicki). She comes up to her 6'4"/193 cm boyfriend's shoulders, the only one of Sam's love interests across the entire 15-season run of the show to do so, very nearly making him, the tallest character in the series, look normal-sized. If she and Sam had managed to have kids, they would have been some very tall children. |
| 393 | * ''Series/TedLasso'': Rebecca Welton, played by the reportedly 5'10" Creator/HannahWaddingham, and prone to [[HighHeelPower wearing professional-looking high heels]] that make her even taller. She's considered a stunner, with many characters expressing attraction to her. |
| 394 | -->'''Keeley:''' That Rebecca is an intimidating and very tall woman. I mean, the minute she locked eyes with me, I started sweating. |
| 395 | * Creator/LauraPrepon, who played Donna Pinciotti on ''Series/That70sShow'', is 5'9.5"/177 cm, and throughout the series, was touted as [[InformedAttractiveness the single hottest girl in Point Place]]. Add that the other main female is the 5'4"/162 cm Creator/MilaKunis, and scenes with them both [[ScullyBox frequently try to hide the difference]]. |
| 396 | * In ''Series/Warehouse13'', Myka Bering stands at 5'8"/173 cm - only 3 inches/7 centimeters shorter than her partner Pete - and often wears high-heeled boots for work, not to mention short and tight dresses on several occasions. |
| 397 | * C.J. Cregg from ''Series/TheWestWing''. [[RealLifeWritesThePlot No doubt inspired by her actress]], Creator/AllisonJanney (who stands at an even 6 feet tall). |
| 398 | ** Lampshaded when the White House decorator tries to get her to redecorate her office with a desk used by Dolley Madison. |
| 399 | --->'''Decorator:''' But it's lovely, and ''feminine.''\ |
| 400 | '''CJ:''' Dolley-with-an-E Madison was maybe 5'3".\ |
| 401 | '''Decorator:''' Yes...?\ |
| 402 | '''CJ:''' (''stands up and stares down at her'')\ |
| 403 | '''Decorator:''' ... Of course. |
| 404 | ** Caused a bit of a problem when C.J. meets a man who is described in-universe as being very handsome. When she meets him she sees that he is, but the actor, Creator/JoaquimDeAlmeida, is a little over 5'7"/170 cm, so Janney had to remain seated throughout the meeting and the scene seemed a little strange. |
| 405 | * Creator/LyndaCarter as ''Series/WonderWoman'', who was both tall (5'9.5"/177 cm) and (of course) dressed in a skintight LeotardOfPower. |
| 406 | * The eponymous character of ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' played by Creator/LucyLawless stands a little over 5'9"/175 cm. |
| 407 | [[/folder]] |
| 408 | |
| 409 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 410 | * Music/TheHollies' "Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)", who's "just a five-nine (177 cm), beautiful tall". |
| 411 | * Music/{{Hawkwind}} incorporated a stage dancer called The Amazing Stacia, who stood well over 1.8 meters tall and who, onstage, regarded clothing as a constricting inconvenience. |
| 412 | * The girl described in "Big and Hot" by The Love Dogs. |
| 413 | * Music/FloorJansen (Music/AfterForever, Music/{{ReVamp}}, Music/{{Nightwish|Band}}) is 185 cm (6'1") and doesn't shy away from substantial heels, with a towering presence many Youtube commenters liken to a Valkyrie or goddess. It led to jokes when Music/{{Wintersun}} bassist Jukka Koskinen was announced as the fill-in for their 2021-22 touring season[[note]]longtime bassist Marko Hietala having quit over the winter for mental health reasons[[/note]] that Nightwish had finally found a musician taller than her. |
| 414 | * The Music/JethroTull song "Like a Tall Thin Girl." |
| 415 | * Music/RobertJohnson's song "They're Red Hot": |
| 416 | -->I got a girl, say she long and tall\ |
| 417 | She sleeps in the kitchen with her feets in the hall |
| 418 | ** Variations on this lyric have turned up in a few later blues songs, such as Music/TajMahal's "She Caught The Katy". |
| 419 | * Music/LittleRichard's "Long Tall Sally". In fact, the clothing label Long Tall Sally, which specializes in making clothes for tall women, is named after the song. |
| 420 | * Music/TylerHubbard's "5 Foot 9" has the height of his love interest [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin right in the title]]. |
| 421 | * Music/LoveAndRockets: "So Alive" seems to be about one: |
| 422 | -->''I don't know what color your eyes are, baby, but your hair is long and brown'' |
| 423 | -->''Your legs are strong and you're so so long and you don't come from this town'' |

| 426 | [[folder:Music Videos]] |
| 427 | * Invoked and Exaggerated in the video for Music/{{Miserable}} which stars a [[GiantWoman giantess]] in a bikini and high heel shoes. Said giantess is played by Pamela Anderson, and the band is playing on different parts of her body such as her butt, her thighs, and her lips, thus providing plenty of FanService and MaleGaze. |

| 430 | [[folder:Professional Wrestling]] |
| 431 | %%* Josie Wahlford, aka [[RedBaron Minerva]], the first recognized US women's champion in professional wrestling and(highly disputed world women's champion), is said to have been an imperial six feet tall(183 centimeters), which was ''huge'' for a woman during the 1890 to 1910 period when she was in her prime. |
| 432 | %%* Wrestling/TheFabulousMoolah's main rival in the Wrestling/NationalWrestlingAlliance during 1975, the 6'1" Sue Green, one of the few women to pin Moolah for the World Women's title but of that exclusive club, she is one of few the NWA were reluctant to recognize and one of the "many" whose victory the Wrestling/{{W|orldWrestlingFederation}}WF refused to acknowledge. |
| 433 | * Tully Blanchard's "Perfect 10" valet, Baby Doll, was listed as being 6-foot-1. |
| 434 | * Wrestling/Slick used a theme made for him called "Jive Soul Bro", which doubled as a TheVillainSucksSong, that played with this in how he doesn't learn from the consequences of his evil ways "Well you'd think this dude might learn a lesson but I didn't learn a thing at all |
| 435 | Well late last night I was out there messin' with a lady that was 7 feet tall" |
| 436 | * Wrestling/TorrieWilson, one of the most famous [[MsFanService Ms. Fanservices]] in ProfessionalWrestling (especially during the 2000s), stands 5'9". |
| 437 | %%* Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon is 5 feet, 9 inches. |
| 438 | * June Synder, the six-foot-tall founder of the "Southern Belles Wrestling Club", which she founded to prove pretty women could wrestle. |
| 439 | * Wrestling/{{WCW}} manager and later, WWE "Diva" Wrestling/StacyKeibler stands at 5'11", in addition to being a very attractive blonde with a famously long pair of legs. Literalized, since she once did a photoshoot dressed up as the Art/StatueOfLiberty. |
| 440 | %%* Wrestling/{{Chyna}} was 5 feet, 9 inches, and towered over Wrestling/EddieGuerrero during their storyline together. |
| 441 | * PWX wrestler NYX was 6'5". PWX trained her to be a mysterious technical wrestler, but pretty much every other promotion that used her did so as TheGiant instead. And when she wasn't wrestling she was usually booked as a sexy {{dominatrix}}, though she sometimes got to be an intimidating {{bodyguard|babes}} sometimes. |
| 442 | %%* In 2001, the SiblingTeam of Mr. Excellent and Queen Maya debuted for Italian Championship Wrestling. Maya stands at 185 cm, a full two more than Minerva and seven (three inches) taller than her 5'10" (178 cm) brother. |
| 443 | * Wrestling/SaraDelRey is 5'11" and could hit the Royal Butterfly on ''[[Wrestling/KiaStevens AWESOME KONG]]'' and defeated the 6'5" Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli. She's got legs, but [[ComplimentBackfire don't tell her that]]. Wrestling/LarrySweeney, her manager in Wrestling/RingOfHonor, was an AmazonChaser and thought very highly of her that way. |
| 444 | * Wrestling/MichelleMcCool is 5'10" and certainly thinks she is the best-looking thing on tv. Even before her ego swelled she had a "personal trainer" gimmick where she helped wrestlers stretch. It was transparent fanservice. |
| 445 | * Annie Social's fairly short. The TagTeam of Wesna Busic and Melanie Cruise which she managed in Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}} was not, standing at 5'10" and 6 even. Also, SHIMMER's third singles champion, Madison Eagles, stood at 6'1". That said, Busic and Cruise gave up on looking "cute" after Social started directing them, and Eagles when she became obsessed with the SHIMMER Championship belt. |
| 446 | * The Kongtourage of [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]] was made up of the 5'4" Sojournor Bolt, 5'8" [[Wrestling/CheerleaderMelissa Raisha Saeed]], 6'0" [[Wrestling/KiaStevens Awesome Kong]] and 6'2" Rhaka Khan, in progressing order. And [[DavidVersusGoliath their primary enemy]] was the 5'3" Wrestling/TaylorWilde. TNA actually added two inches to Kong and Khan, but at 5'10" Kong was still noticeably taller than Stalker Ichikawa in Wrestling/DragonGate, and he nonetheless found her attractive, to her annoyance. At 6 flat Rhaka Khan was taller than Petey Williams and eye to eye with Wrestling/ScottSteiner, who were not turned off in the slightest. |
| 447 | * At 6'9", Isis the Amazon is possibly the tallest woman to ever take up professional wrestling and is noticeably taller than most male wrestlers. Still, she claims to have been dolling up to get noticed by the movie industry and did score a leading role in some independent films. |
| 448 | %%* Jessica Love from Finland stands in at 6'1". Hajime Ohara was impressed enough that he chose the then twenty-one Love as his partner to help him get one over on his long-time rival Wrestling/UltimoDragon (who was teaming with Wrestling/YoshihiroTajiri at the time). |
| 449 | %%* Wrestling/NiaJax is a legitimate 6'1" and is billed at 272 pounds[[note]]as of her return from injury in 2019, though she's likely well over 300 as she's significantly larger than she was in NXT[[/note]], which makes her larger than many of the guys in WWE. |
| 450 | * Later, TNA would briefly run with the German-born TagTeam of 6'0" Alpha Female and 5'11" Wrestling/LeiDTapa (though only Alpha had any hint of being German, Tapa grew up in the Western Hemisphere and was a proud [[WildSamoan wild Tongan]]), pitting them against 5'3" Wrestling/MadisonRayne. Chris Sabin at least found the larger pair more attractive. |
| 451 | %%* Wrestling/CharlotteFlair is 5'10", only an inch shorter than her father Wrestling/{{Ric|Flair}}. |
| 452 | %%* Wrestling/SummerRae is 5'10". |
| 453 | * Wrestling/{{Paige}} is 5'8" and is one of the renowned beauties (for her RavenHairIvorySkin[[note]]She's actually blonde[[/note]] in particular) in ProfessionalWrestling. |
| 454 | * Wrestling/BillieKay is 5'8" and is one of the renowned beauties in ProfessionalWrestling during TheNewTens. She even has a FemmeFatale gimmick. |
| 455 | * Wrestling/LaceyEvans is 5'8" and very much prides herself on beauty, which is understandable with her frame-fitting fashion sense and seductive attitude. |
| 456 | * Raquel Gonzalez/Rodriguez is 6'0" and an AmazonianBeauty with a brutal smashmouth style of wrestling. |
| 457 | [[/folder]] |
| 458 | |
| 459 | [[folder:Roleplay]] |
| 460 | * Zia from ''Roleplay/DawnOfANewAgeOldportBlues'' is 5'10", making her the second-tallest girl in the cast besides the 'freakishly tall' 6' Luna. Her physical prowess, alongside her confident demeanor and punk lifestyle, have attracted the attention of multiple suitors. |
| 461 | [[/folder]] |
| 462 | |
| 463 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 464 | * ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': |
| 465 | ** Eilistraee, the ChaoticGood drow goddess, stands at 9 feet tall. And yes, [[HotGod she's quite attractive]]. |
| 466 | ** In the 3rd Edition sourcebook detailing the gods used in campaigns, ''all'' of the Greek gods fit into the Large category (about eight to sixteen feet tall) in their true forms ''and'' avatar forms, meaning that any [[HotGod attractive Greek goddess]] - including Aphrodite, Athena, Hera, and Artemis, to name just four - would qualify in this continuity. |
| 467 | * Radha of Keld from the ''Time Spiral'' block of ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' qualifies, being described as just shy of seven feet tall and an AmazonianBeauty to boot. |
| 468 | * Drow females in ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' are just as prone to being sexualized as their D&D counterparts. They also tend to tower over females of other races and to a lesser degree male drow, as not only are elves taller than humans in ''Pathfinder'' (5'6" is the ''minimum'' height listed), drow also flip around the sexual dimorphism so their average female is taller and larger than their average male. |
| 469 | * At her normal scale, [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Sky-Scraper]] of ''TabletopGame/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse'' is about 6'5", although as a SizeShifter she can end up anywhere from 65' to 6.5 micrometers (in her Extremist version, anyway). |
| 470 | [[/folder]] |
| 471 | |
| 472 | [[folder:Theatre]] |
| 473 | * In the theatrical and movie version of ''Theatre/LilAbner,'' Julie Newmar's Stupifyin' Jones is a ''literal'' statuesque stunner, at least as far as any male viewer is concerned. |
| 474 | [[/folder]] |
| 475 | |
| 476 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 477 | * Resident [[MsFanservice Ms. Fanservice]] Twintelle from ''VideoGame/{{ARMS}}'' has every other female competitor beat with 180cm under her belt and that's without her high heels. Dr. Coyle (175cm) and Lola Pop (173cm) aren't too far behind. |
| 478 | * The women in the ''Franchise/BatmanArkhamSeries'' are all pretty tall, the only one shorter than 5'7" is teenage Barbara Gordon in ''Origins'' who's 5'2". In particular, there's Poison Ivy (5'8"), Christina Bell (5'9"), Copperhead (5'10") and adult Barbara Gordon (5'11", though she is wheelchair-bound by that point). |
| 479 | * Kassandra from ''Videogame/AssassinsCreedOdyssey'' stands easily 6 feet tall ... and isn't even the tallest woman in the game. And that's not even taking into account the female Isu, which stand in the area of 9 feet. |
| 480 | * The Dark Queen from ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' stands at 6 feet tall, according to official stats. Although that doesn't explain how she is a giant compared to the Battletoads themselves in the original, who are supposed to be even taller. |
| 481 | * VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} is a case of YourSizeMayVary, and has never had official measurements given. However, she usually stands OneHeadTaller than most [=NPCs=], male or female, and when she's showing off ([[ProudBeauty as she frequently does]]), the camera emphasizes her height. |
| 482 | * ''Franchise/BlazBlue'': |
| 483 | ** As of ''[[VideoGame/BlazBlueChronophantasma Chronophantasma]]'', Bullet at 175cm (about 5'9"). |
| 484 | ** Litchi Faye-Ling is 170cm (about 5'7"), but given that she's Chinese, she qualifies perfectly. |
| 485 | * Rayne from ''VideoGame/BloodRayne'' stands at 6'0", and that is without high-heels, as she stands 6'6" with them. |
| 486 | %% * Vivi the vampiress in ''VideoGame/BrainDead13''. |
| 487 | * ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'', with its highly customizable character creator, lets players invoke this... however, one dev-created example is the hero Swan, who stands near Manticore (the shortest NPC male), and is about 2 feet taller than him. |
| 488 | * ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' and ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' have a lot of female [=NPCs=] standing a head taller than the base humans by default. |
| 489 | ** ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsI'': [[HotGod Gwynevere]] is over 20 feet tall, and there's a reason that player-placed messages next to her chamber often announce [[MostCommonSuperpower "magnificent chest]] [[DoubleEntendre ahead!"]]. [[spoiler:However, the reveal that she turned out to be an illusion makes this claim rather dubious although given the fact that Gwyn's other children are also rather tall, it is likely that her real self is just as tall as them]]. |
| 490 | ** ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'': Don't let the DepthDeception fool you: when you meet [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Nashandra]] in Drangleic Castle, she's big (about 14 feet tall) ''and'' far away. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1Acm3NPrgU As this video shows]], her ''knees'' are about as tall as the Bearer of the Curse. |
| 491 | ** ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII:'' Sister Friede is pretty, [[AffablyEvil charming]], and ''easily'' a foot plus taller than the Ashen One. [[spoiler: Her height is actually foreshadowing that she'll be a boss fight. It's much easier to see a humanoid enemy's movements in 3rd person when they're over seven feet tall.]] |
| 492 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'': the Doll and Lady Maria are both 6'6+ and quite attractive, complete with grey hair, blue eyes, [[LadyOfWar classy outfits]], and [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench vaguely Eastern European accents]]. |
| 493 | ** ''VideoGame/EldenRing'' continues this tradition with Malenia, an ~8 foot tall force of [[{{Superboss}} death and destruction]]. She definitely fits the bill of attractive... [[spoiler:or at least she ''did,'' by the time we fight her the Scarlet Rot has been rotting her flesh for decades. The second phase has her burst most of her armor off, being the closest a ''Souls'' game has gotten to full human nudity, and this is ''[[FanDisservice not]]'' a good thing. ]] |
| 494 | * Morrigan from the ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' series stands at 5'8", and is a [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]] who becomes the defacto MsFanservice in any game she appears in. |
| 495 | * [[AllAmericanFace Tina]] and [[DanceBattler Lisa]] from the ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' series are 174cm/5'9", and [[FemmeFatale Christie]] is 177cm/5'10". Considering that this is [[BestKnownForTheFanservice DOA we're talking about here]], it's almost not worth mentioning [[GorgeousGaijin their sex appeal]]. |
| 496 | ** ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive5: Ultimate'': |
| 497 | *** The busty CanonImmigrant [[VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Rachel]] in has been revealed to stand 172cm/5'8". |
| 498 | *** DLC character Tengu Nyotengu stands at 172cm/5'8"; being Japanese makes it icing on the cake. |
| 499 | * ''Franchise/DonkeyKong'': |
| 500 | ** Candy Kong is the tallest female Kong of the Kong family, and the only Kong that is taller than her is Chunky Kong but then again, Chunky is TheBigGuy of the Kong family. |
| 501 | ** Tiny Kong became this after she was [[FanServicePack redesigned]] in ''Diddy Kong Racing DS''. Comparing her with Peach and Daisy in ''Mario Super Sluggers'', she is slightly taller than Peach. |
| 502 | ** Kalypso from ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongBarrelBlast'' is shown to be somewhere in between Candy and Tiny's heights, not counting her big afro. |
| 503 | * From ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', a female qunari Inquisitor towers over the rest of the cast, with the exception of Iron Bull, a fellow qunari. [[AmazonChaser Sera]] in particular considers her [[AmazonianBeauty "well fit"]] and has her train of thought [[DistractedByTheSexy visibly derail]] upon meeting her. |
| 504 | * ''VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ'': Resident [[MsFanservice Mrs. Fanservice]] Artificial Human No. 21 is depicted as around the same size of Son Goku, if not slightly taller. She does wear high-heels, but even without them, she's pretty tall and they are not that high. Some official sources say that Goku's height is 175cm (5'9"). |
| 505 | * The female Ogres from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestX'' are taller than every other player character save their {{Spear Counterpart}}s and are very attractive to boot. |
| 506 | * ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'': |
| 507 | ** Quite a number of Altmer, AKA High Elf women are attractive, and they're the tallest playable race. |
| 508 | ** ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline'' has Lyris [[MeaningfulName Titanborn,]] a companion who looks like Creator/SarahMichelleGellar were she the size of a truck. How tall she is exactly is unknown, but she is half [[AmazonianBeauty Nord]] and half giant, and the biggest tallest PlayerCharacter that could possibly be made up, next to Lyris they are positively dwarfed. |
| 509 | ** From ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion'' and ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', the Golden Saints and Dark Seducers are [[AmazonBrigade all female warriors]] clad in [[ChainmailBikini skimpy armor]]. All of them are Altmer level in height, as well. |
| 510 | * ''VideoGame/ExistArchive:'' Suzaku is 5'10", which makes her one of the tallest characters in the game. Her description says "Suzaku has leveraged her stunning looks into a fairly lucrative modelling career." |
| 511 | * Female Hero from ''VideoGame/FableIII'' head above any other citizen or mook, except giant enemies. |
| 512 | * ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'': |
| 513 | ** Faris from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' is 5'8" (172cm) tall and usually shown as an attractive woman [[DisguisedInDrag when not dressing as a man]]. |
| 514 | ** Fran from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' towers over most of the cast at 6'1¾". And that's not even taking her rabbit ears or [[CombatStilettos stilettos]] into account![[note]]And when you do take these into account, she's the tallest playable character in the main ''Final Fantasy'' series (the offline games, at least).[[/note]] |
| 515 | ** Rips from the ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' renders make it clear that [[BigGood Cosmos]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Ultimecia]], and the [[MsFanservice Cloud of Darkness]] subscribe to this trope: Cosmos scrapes in at an estimated 5'9", Ultimecia qualifies at around 5'10", and the Cloud of Darkness absolutely ''blows them all away'' at roughly ''6'7"'' barefoot. |
| 516 | *** To put that last one into perspective, the ''only'' characters taller than [=CoD=] are the trio of {{Tin Tyrant}}s ([[TheDragon Garland]], [[AntiVillain Golbez]], and [[LargeHam Exdeath]]; all around 7'2" or so) as well as the BigBad [[LargeAndInCharge himself]], [[OrcusOnHisThrone Chaos]] (who is at least a foot taller than ''that''). |
| 517 | ** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', this applies to the female characters of the playable races Roegadyn (who’s height’s range from 6'3.6" to 7'3.7"), Elezen (6'0.2" to 6'6.8"), and Viera (5'10.4" to 6'3.4"). |
| 518 | * ''Franchise/FireEmblem'': |
| 519 | ** The female [[PlayerCharacter Avatar]] in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' has the potential to fit this trope, if the player chooses Build 3 for her (Build 1 is average height, and Build 2 is petite). If chosen, Build 3 Girl Avatar stands almost eye to eye with guys as huge as Vaike, Gregor, Lon'qu, or Basilio. And if their character portraits are to be believed, Cordelia, Panne, and Kjelle are around the Build 3!Female Avatar's height. They're also referred to as very attractive in-story, specially Cordelia [[DudeMagnet who is quite the hit with guys.]] |
| 520 | ** While there aren't official heights given for the characters in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', Princess Camilla of Nohr appears to be very tall for a woman and is the tallest female character in the game going by the official artwork and in-game character models. [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Feif-mainvisual3.jpg The main visual shows her leaning against her axe,]] and if she were standing up fully, she'd be nearly as tall as her eldest brother Xander or [[spoiler: her potential husband]] Ryoma, who are amongst the tallest characters in the game. And as one can clearly see, [[MsFanservice Camilla's height]] doesn't detract from her attractiveness one bit.[[note]](Using the average length of a Naginata as a guide, Camilla's anywhere from 6' (182 cm) to 6'5" (195 cm) tall. Even deducting one or two inches that come from her CombatStilettos, Camilla remains as the tallest of the girls and being able to stand eye-to-eye with Leo and Takumi, who aren't exactly short.)[[/note]] |
| 521 | * Freya from ''VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4'' can see Kratos (who is a very tall person himself) eye-to-eye when standing together and is stated to be a goddess well known for her "fertile beauty". |
| 522 | * ''VideoGame/GoldenAxe'' features ComicBook/RedSonja CaptainErsatz Tyris Flare, who stands at 5'8". |
| 523 | * Most female Norns in ''VideoGame/GuildWars: Eye of the North'' (as well as ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'') can safely count as this, along with AmazonianBeauty. They're all at LEAST nine feet tall. And most of them can [[{{Shapeshifting}} transform into]] [[BearsAreBadNews werebears.]] |
| 524 | * ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'': The SPARTAN supersoldiers fit this trope. Due to surgical and genetic enhancements, all of the [[http://www.halopedia.org/SPARTAN-II_Program SPARTAN-IIs]] tower over 6'5" with varying inches when outside of armor, and when outfitted in their MJOLNIR armor are 7 feet tall with varying inches. The [[http://www.halopedia.org/SPARTAN-III_Program SPARTAN-IIIs]] and [[http://www.halopedia.org/SPARTAN-IV_Program Spartan-IVs]] also have similar heights when outside of their armor. The stunner Spartans are more evident with the lattermost group being portrayed by an InkSuitActor. |
| 525 | * There are quite a few from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': Whip (173cm/5'8"), Shermie (173cm/5'8"), Elisabeth (174cm/5'8½"), Lien (174cm/5'8½"), Zarina (174cm/5'8½"), King (175cm/5'9"), Luise (175cm/5'9"), Leona (176cm/5'9¼"), Mature (177cm/5'9.6"), Vice (178cm/5'10"), Luong (180cm/5'11") Foxy (181cm/5'11⅓"), Vanessa (182cm/6'), [[NonPlayerCharacter Diana]] (188cm/6'2"), and especially Jun (199cm/6'6.3"). Whip much like Kunimitsu however has always been one of the shorter women as represented by her sprites/character model and artwork. |
| 526 | * While we don't have her exact numbers, Illaoi from ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' is even taller than Darius, who's officially 6'5" himself, and she [[AmazonianBeauty has a build to match her height]]. |
| 527 | * ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': |
| 528 | ** [[spoiler: Midna's true form]] in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' positively towers over Zelda and Link, the latter of whom is stunned by her beauty. Princess Zelda herself is also this, being very tall and slender in most of her appearances as an adult. This is especially notable in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series, were she is roughly the same height as Zero Suit Samus. |
| 529 | ** The [[OneGenderRace Gerudo]] in ''Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' are all roughly twice the height of Link, with one lamenting that men find her intimidating despite the fact that she's "only eight feet tall". And in a less extreme example, the Sheikah girl Paya is OneHeadTaller than Link. |
| 530 | * ''VideoGame/LuminousArc'' has resident MsFanservice Vanessa. Though she doesn't have an official height, she towers over the teenage protagonists and has a few inches on all the adults -- in fact, the only person taller than her without the aid of a nice hat is the FinalBoss. The fact she's rather abundantly proportioned up top only makes her seem even bigger than she already is. |
| 531 | * ''Franchise/MassEffect'' features a few tall, beautiful women, notably Nyreen Kandros (who, as a turian, is naturally about a head taller than most humans); Tali (who is the tallest female squadmate in the second game; notable as she is a quarian, who are naturally slightly shorter than most humans); and EDI (an artificial intelligence in a robot body in the third game, which is taller than most of the other female squadmates). |
| 532 | ** Vetra Nyx, a female turian squadmate in the fourth game ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'', has a canon height of about 6'6". Naturally she towers above pretty much everyone around her. Her human crewmates also apply, as they are visibly taller than [[PlayerCharacter Sarah Ryder]], who is stated by WordOfGod to be around 5'7. |
| 533 | * ''VideoGame/MasterDetectiveArchivesRainCode'' has Fubuki (180 cm/5'10"), Shinigami's human form (183 cm/6'0"), Melami (185cm/6'1") and Martina (187cm/6'1"). Halara is also 181cm/5'11" and described as attractive by their in-game profile, but because they're [[AmbiguousGender not male or female]] this is downplayed. |
| 534 | * The ''VideoGame/MetalGear Solid'' series has [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Meryl Silverburgh]] (1.75m/5'9"), [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty Fortune]] (?m/?'?"), [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Sniper Wolf]] (1.75m/5'9"), [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater EVA (1.78m/5'10"), and The Boss (1.78m/5'10")]]. The whole cast of ''3'' is unusually tall, due to needing to size the characters around Naked Snake, who is 6'4" and built like Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger at his 80s peak. |
| 535 | * Samus Aran from the ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' series has a listed height of 190 cm (6'3"), though it isn't specified whether that measurement applies to her or her Power Suit. (In-game sprites for armorless Samus are always depicted a bit shorter than their armored counterparts. The trope holds in either instance, though.) |
| 536 | * ''Franchise/MortalKombat'': |
| 537 | ** According to her [[WordOfGod official bio]], [[LadyOfWar Sonya Blade]] stands at 5'9". And from the look of things, Cassie Cage is just as tall as Mama Blade. |
| 538 | ** Both Kitana and Mileena top this by being a mere centimeter taller, but the latter [[ButterFace provides]] FanDisservice. |
| 539 | * {{Exaggerated|Trope}} with {{Hot God}}dess Rijin from ''VideoGame/MuramasaTheDemonBlade'', [[LargeAndInCharge a giantess approximately 3.5 times the size of the player]]. She dwarfs every humanoid character in the game. This is ''especially'' notable when she stands opposite of her [[GodCouple romantic partner]] Fujin, who is a [[AdorablyPrecociousChild tiny, adorable imp]]. |
| 540 | * Inara the Stone Warden ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}'' is notable for being the first female Front Line champion introduced and also the tallest champion in the game, eclipsing the previous holder of that title, [[KnightInShiningArmor Fernando]]. Bonus 'statuesque' points for being made of stone. |
| 541 | * Oleana in ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' stands at 5'11" [[AllThereInTheManual according to the artbook]], and would be fairly tall for a woman even without her very high heels. Her beauty and elegance make her quite popular among the Macro Cosmos employees as well, to the point that she has a fan club dedicated to her. |
| 542 | * AmazonianBeauty Angela Belti of ''VideoGame/PowerInstinct'' stands at over 6 feet tall. |
| 543 | * While ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' has an art style that makes fanservice difficult, Milla Vodello comes by far the closest, and according to her official ID card, she is ''7'2''. |
| 544 | * ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'' has [[TheDragon Lady Dimitrescu]], who stands at ''[[EvilIsBigger nine feet six inches tall]]'', towering over her daughters, other monsters, and Ethan himself. She's also LargeAndInCharge, as it is her castle ([[TitleDrop and surrounding village]]) that Ethan is invading to find answers. She also serves as the game's [[SuperPersistentPredator version of Mr. X]] (and is in fact even bigger than he was), as she'll stalk you around her home and is capable of killing you in one blow with her FemmeFatalons. She's also amassed something of [[EnsembleDarkhorse a cult following]] despite only showing up in short clips due to her... [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure unique design]] and elegant outfits. |
| 545 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Rift}}'', female Bahmi are taller than male [[HumansByAnyOtherName Ethians]], but can be as attractive as any race. |
| 546 | * ''VideoGame/RivalSchools''[='=] Natsu Ayuhara, who is a shade under 6 feet tall (182cm) and gets more than her fair share of fanservice shots. Kyoko Minazuki (173cm/5'8") and Zaki (175cm/5'9") are also as pretty as they are tall, but their height isn't paid attention to like Natsu's is. |
| 547 | * ''VideoGame/RumbleRoses'' has Dixie Clemets at 5'11. Aisha also is the same height but is notably less muscular and uses more of a street fight style compared to Dixie's strength-based one. |
| 548 | * ''VideoGame/SaintsRow'': Among female characters, there's Kinzie Kenzington, who stands at an impressive 6'0" (183 cm). |
| 549 | * ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'' has Naotora Ii, who, at 5'9", towers above most female characters. This is due in no small part to her long and [[KickChick powerful]] legs. |
| 550 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'', Parasoul and Valentine. Parasoul stands at 5'10", and her upright posture makes her height very obvious. Valentine is even taller, at a full 6'0", but it's harder to notice because she's usually in a [[NinjaRun crouching ninja stance]]. Eliza is one too at 5'11". |
| 551 | * Merveille from ''VideoGame/{{Solatorobo}}'' stands at 180cm/5'11", making her much taller than many of the male characters who have their heights listed. In fact, the only character ''stated'' to be taller than her is BigBad Bruno, who is 190cm/6'3". While no one comments on her appearance specifically, [[AllThereInTheManual the manual]] describes her as attractive, and Béluga seems quite fond of her as well, though he may be interested in her mind as much as anything. |
| 552 | * ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'': |
| 553 | ** Standing at just under 6’, Ivy is one of the tallest characters, let alone women, in the entire series. Her dominatrix-like outfit is infamous for becoming more and more skimpy with each game. |
| 554 | ** Taki. While she just misses the mark at 5'7", she's practically a giant considering that she's ''Japanese'', especially in the 1500s. She's also the second tallest female, behind Ivy. Of course, that's not even mentioning her [[PaintedOnPants tighter-than-skin bodysuit that displays everything in full]]. |
| 555 | * Marina from ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' stands at 178cm according to the artbook and shows a bit of skin compared to the other idols. Contrast her 145cm partner Pearl, who is 3 years older! |
| 556 | * Elise Riggs from the ''VideoGame/{{SSX}}'' series stands at 5'11" (180cm). |
| 557 | * ''Franchise/StreetFighter'': |
| 558 | ** DependingOnTheArtist, [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Chun-Li's]] long stems qualify her as well, and even if her official height tends to fluctuate. Notably, she is taller than Ryu (5'9") in-game. |
| 559 | ** Elena from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' is the tallest female in the series at 6'0", exclusively uses her long stems when attacking, and wears next to nothing. |
| 560 | ** Rose from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'' is 5'10" and her outfits always show off her legs and/or bust. |
| 561 | ** ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV''[==]'s C. Viper is 5'9", with a suit that shows off her cleavage to ridiculous levels. Tying with Viper is Poison from the same game as well as ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'''s Laura Matsuda and Falke, all of whom are the same height as Viper. |
| 562 | ** Dethroing Elena as ''the'' tallest female character in the entire franchise is ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6's'' Marisa, an AmazonianBeauty who clocks in at a staggering '''6'8"''', with only the 7'0" Zangief surpassing her in height (at least as far as the base roster goes). Manon in the same game is also 5'9", same as the above-mentioned C. Viper, Poison, Laura, and Falke, but her character model [[YourSizeMayVary appears taller than most male characters]] (including [[TheHero Luke]], who is 6'1") barring Zangief. |
| 563 | * [[AmazonianBeauty Oulan]] from ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'' towers even over Viktor and Pesmerga, who are both over six feet tall, and is in fact the tallest humanoid character in the entire game, only beat out by the large-size beasts. Sid appears taller, but only because of his wings. Jeane also counts (as well as for every other game thereafter), being only slightly shorter than Viktor and wearing nothing but see-through gauze on her person. |
| 564 | * ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' tends to liberally use YourSizeMayVary, and doesn't really have much in the way of official heights, but nearly every human female in the series is much taller than Mario and the other male humans. Princess Peach is always at least a head taller than Mario, Rosalina is a head taller than Peach, and then there's Pauline. Originally she was about the same height as Peach, but in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' she now towers over Mario, who doesn't even reach her ''waist''. If Mario is 5'/152 cm tall[[note]] some sources say he's 4'11 and some say he's 5'1"[[/note]], Daisy is around 5'10"/180 cm tall, Peach is around 6'/183 cm tall, Rosalina is 7'3"/216 cm, and Pauline is ''8'6"/259 cm tall''. At her shortest, Pauline is slightly shorter than Rosalina. In ''VideoGame/MarioKartTour'', she occupies a large kart like Rosalina, Bowser and Donkey Kong. |
| 565 | * ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'': |
| 566 | ** [[MsFanservice Grune]] of ''VideoGame/TalesOfLegendia'' is one of the tallest characters in the cast, which enables her to [[MarshmallowHell smother]] her friends, during her [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} quirky]] [[LaserGuidedAmnesia amnesiac phase]]. |
| 567 | ** Judith from ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' is no slouch in the height department either, standing at 175 cm (dead-on 5'9"). She's also explicitly pointed out to be the bustiest. |
| 568 | * Kunimitsu from ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' would count according to [[WordOfGod official sources]] by being listed at 173 cm/5'8. However, this is contradicted in-game by her ironically having the shortest character model of the cast in most of the games she appears in. Nina, Anna, Christie, Lili (who stands at 5'11"), Katarina, and Master Raven tend to have character models that are on the large side and as big as many of the male characters. |
| 569 | * Like with most things concerning ''Franchise/TouhouProject'', character height mostly depends on the preference of fans, with the two common ones being: |
| 570 | ** Stage 6 Bosses and those of authority (usually one and the same, except for Satori Komeiji, who is a Stage 4 boss) are usually on the taller side of things, with few exceptions like Remilia Scarlet, Suika Ibuki, Eiki Shiki, Satori Komeiji and Shinmyoumaru Sukuna. |
| 571 | ** Komachi Onozuka and Yuugi Hoshiguma are universally portrayed as quite tall, with the latter also doubling as an AmazonianBeauty in a lot of fanart. |
| 572 | * While her actual height is unknown, Toriel in ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' is quite tall compared to the other monsters while [[spoiler: Asgore, her ex husband,]] is much taller than she is. Toriel is a boss monster in the form of a somewhat elderly goat and many monsters within the game's internet find her very attractive. When she finds out about it, Toriel doesn't understand why people would even find someone like her old self attractive to begin with. |
| 573 | * Vanessa Lewis, Sarah Bryant, and [[ChromeChampion Dural]] from ''VideoGame/VirtuaFighter''. As a guest character in ''Videogame/DeadOrAlive 5'', Sarah even towers above women who are statistically taller than she (which likely has to do with the 6-inch heels she wears, but really because she shares the same body model in-game as Christie, who stands at 5'10" and is the tallest woman in the cast). |
| 574 | * ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'': |
| 575 | ** ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'': At nearly 7ft. tall, Miqol's daughter, Vanea, towers above Shulk and his companions; making her the tallest character in the game. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Though no one comments on her height]], [[NotDistractedByTheSexy or her figure]], even though [[{{stripperific}} it's practically on full display.]] |
| 576 | ** ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'': Given that many blades take the form of an ArtificialHuman, many of them towering over most humans isn't a surprise to highlight their power. |
| 577 | *** Poppi QT Pi is far taller than virtually everyone aside from Zeke and Brighid and she's one of the [[MsFanservice most attractive blades in the game while sporting a large bust size]]. [[TheNapoleon Nia]] is [[ACupAngst shown to be rather jealous]]. Before her introduction however, |
| 578 | *** TheHero Rex's blades Pyra and Mythra fill this role pretty well, being the resident MsFanservice girls that are always towering over him, not that it's hard to do given that he's quite short for his age. |
| 579 | *** Brighid then joins the part later, and she's quite attractive herself with her large breasts, LadyOfWar, and NavelDeepNeckline package that makes her both graceful and intimidating. |

| 582 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 583 | * Kyoko Ashihara from ''VisualNovel/CrescendoJP'' is self-conscious about [[HugeSchoolgirl her height]], but in her ending the lead character plays it up as a plus. "It means I don't have to bend over to kiss you." |
| 584 | * From ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'', Akane Owari is 176cm/5'9" and also the bustiest girl in the game. Sonia Nevermind is 174cm/5'8.5" and the LoveInterest of Gundham and Kazuichi, plus Hajime in Free Time events. Peko Pekoyama is 172cm/5'8" and the ImpliedLoveInterest of Fuyuhiko and [[UnrequitedLove Hajime grows quite smitten with her]] in Free Time events. |
| 585 | * In ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'', Kirumi Tojo is 176cm/5'9", Tsumugi Shirogane is 174cm/5'8.5" tall and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer even Kaede]] thinks she has a "sexy aura" about her. Miu Iruma is 173cm/5'8" tall and is a ProudBeauty GadgeteerGenius who loves to [[BuxomBeautyStandard talk about how big her boobs are]]. |
| 586 | * ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': Rider is 172 cm tall and notably towers over all the other female characters, as well as a few males like Shirou and Shinji. She has a large bust, wears a revealing outfit, and is considered a beauty by Shirou. |
| 587 | * Forte Stollen in ''VisualNovel/GalaxyAngel'' stands 175 cm, and is the only member of the Angel Wing who's taller than the male lead Tact Mayers. Her uniform is already flattering enough, showing off her large chest, but when she dresses up for a ball, Tact can't help but comment how beautiful she looks. |
| 588 | * Bri in ''VisualNovel/GenderBenderDNATwisterExtreme''. She was already decently tall before her GenderBender, but unlike everyone else in the game turning into a woman actually made her taller rather than shorter, which doesn't hurt her romantic options one bit. |
| 589 | * Lilly Satou from ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' is an elegant, very attractive and the tallest girl in the cast. She's even slightly taller than Hisao. Being half Scottish is very likely to have contributed to her height. |
| 590 | [[/folder]] |
| 591 | |
| 592 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 593 | * Kiryu Coco of ''WebAnimation/{{hololive}}'' stood proud and tall at 180 cm or 5'11" and is considered one of the hottest members. Sadly, she left in July 2021, leaving ''hololive'' without a Statuesque Stunner. The second tallest, Nerissa Ravencroft, is 175 cm or 5'9", having beaten Kaela Kovalskia's and Pavolia Reine's individual heights (173 cm/5'8" and 172 cm/5'8", respectively). |
| 594 | * Shay Van Buren from ''WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool'' is 6'0 and one of the most popular girls at her school. |
| 595 | [[/folder]] |
| 596 | |
| 597 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 598 | * In ''Webcomic/AgentsOfTheRealm'', {{Magical Girl Warrior}}s (actually Magical ''Women'' Warriors already) Filoni and Camel are both shown standing at least a head taller than the crowd around them. |
| 599 | * Nina in ''Webcomic/BetweenFailures''. She's the tallest member of the cast (around 6'3", according to the cast page), two of the male characters have actively expressed interest in her, a third admits that he finds her attractive (but didn't chase after her due to BetterAsFriends), and there are hints that one of the female employees [[LesYay also finds her attractive]]. |
| 600 | * Downplayed in ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty'' on account of being a FunnyAnimal, but it's clear [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2010/07/25/whose-side-are-you-on/ CK initially finds Zenith sexy]] (when she's not sporting a NightmareFace), and even without her long ears, she's [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2010/12/12/nothing-to-see-here/ noticeably]] [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2012/08/15/nin-wahs-agenda/ taller]] than any male character besides the occasional TopHeavyGuy. |
| 601 | * Any female drow in ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' falls under this by default, since female drowolath average around six feet, but [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=106 Mel'arnach]] deserves special mention for towering over even the other women and being the MsFanservice. Generally speaking drowolath females are taller than the males, though there are exceptions, including [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=486 Valo]] (on the left), who is head and shoulders above almost everyone, and the opposite is true for drowussu, where the males are generally taller than the females. |
| 602 | * ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': |
| 603 | ** Amanda is large-breasted and exploits it with a FormFittingWardrobe, in addition to being lusted after by Lisa. WordOfGod puts her at 5'10". |
| 604 | ** Susan, as due to a growth spurt in the Summer arc has made her able to bump into the top shelf of her locker, making her around 5'8" as per WordOfGod. |
| 605 | * Di from ''Webcomic/{{Fans}}'' is taller than just about everyone, male or female, hot and athletic. For bonus humor, her mentor is Rumiko, who is ''tiny.'' |
| 606 | * At 6'1", Kelu of ''Webcomic/FarToTheNorth'' towers over every man yet shown. It's apparently a feature of her Northern blood. When she finds a Saengorian woman named Junuka [[spoiler:actually a man DisguisedInDrag]] she teases her Saengorian sister-in-law by saying "This one is almost as tall as I am, there's hope for you Southern girls yet." Junuka later comments on how Kelu has "legs like a horse" when she's running through the snow. |
| 607 | * Sekhmet, Shanti and Blitz, from ''Webcomic/TheGreenEyedSniper'' are tall and muscular women belonging to an engineered species called A.I.M.S. Sekhmet is 6′ 6″ (1.98 m) and is among the strongest representatives of her species. Shanti is 6′ 1″ (1.86 m). Although less strong than Sekhmet, she could easily crush a human head with her bare hands. Blitz is shorter, at 5′ 9″ (1.80 m). Even if she is a less powerful A.I.M.S., she is still far stronger than the strongest human. |
| 608 | * Stephanie Rossum in ''Webcomic/GroovyKinda'' stands about 6'5". She's blonde, with a nice figure, and a personality which has been described as "ridiculously adorable." Oh, and she's a robot. |
| 609 | * Almost ''all'' of the heroines in ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'' sport this by virtue of a HeroicBuild being the default for innate powers. |
| 610 | -->'''Sydney''': (''Watching the other members of ARCHON in a ShowerScene'') I didn't realize it was possible to feel fat and skinny at the same time. |
| 611 | * ''Webcomic/{{Heartcore}}'''s [[VillainProtagonist Amethyst Lashiec]] stands 5'10", and rocks some serious BigBreastPride. |
| 612 | * In ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' Princess Voluptua is taller than almost every other major character in the comic. This reflects the fact that she is our solar system's [[LargeAndInCharge chief authority figure.]] |
| 613 | * [=DiDi=] of ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' is as tall as or taller than most of the cast (which includes a few other female characters who'd be considered statuesque and stunning in most contexts), and is frequently called an "amazon", with good reason. She also has an enormous cup size, is considered one of the most beautiful women in the comic, and is the primary MsFanservice of the series (despite some ferocious competition). |
| 614 | * [[ProperLady Muneca]] [[GravityMaster Powell]] of ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators}}'' is over [[WordOfGod six feet tall]]. |
| 615 | * From ''[[http://www.polymercitychronicles.com/ Polymer City Chronicles,]]'' Mistress Laura and Lynn Deanna "Lindy" Jones (respectively [[CaptainErsatz modeled after]] ComicBook/LadyDeath and [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]]) are both 5'9". [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Blue-Skinned Space Babe]] Andrah is a towering 7'1" (her [[EightiesHair mohawk]] adds on another seven inches), which makes [[InterspeciesRomance her marriage]] to the scrawny, 5'8" Dr. Otto Bonn, Ph.D. [[TinyGuyHugeGirl all the more noticeable]]. Thanks to Chris Morrison's [[AuthorAppeal distinctive style]], in addition to being large, these women sport oversized bosoms and [[AmazonianBeauty ripped physiques]]. |
| 616 | * Bubbles from ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' may be disqualified for being a robot built to milspec, but the (human) lesbian characters in the comic consider her to be a Statuesque Stunner. The straight male characters have shown no signs of hitting on her. |
| 617 | * Jessica from ''Webcomic/Rain2010'' is 6'1" and is quite self-conscious about it. |
| 618 | * Blossom's roommate, Hilda, from ''Webcomic/{{Rhapsodies}}''. All the more apparent after Blossom drags her kicking and screaming [[http://rhapsodies.wpmorse.com/comic/whole-lot-woman/ out of her shell.]] |
| 619 | * Ruby of ''Webcomic/RubyNation'' is 9'1" thanks to AppliedPhlebotinum, taking this trope to a ridiculous degree. |
| 620 | * In ''Webcomic/RustyAndCo'', the halfing Kris deems the human Dorilys a [[http://rustyandco.com/comic/level-8-62/ Jolly green giant]]! in an inept pass. |
| 621 | * Zoé of ''Webcomic/SandraOnTheRocks'' is an experienced "glamazon"-style supermodel who can ''loom'' over virtually anyone in the cast through a combination of height and force of personality. |
| 622 | * The main heroine of ''Webcomic/SuperRivals'', Awesome Girl, is quite tall, standing over several other [[https://superrivals.com/comic/super-rivals-6-page-7/ heroes]], and quite stunning. |
| 623 | * AmazonianBeauty ''Webcomic/{{Tetsuko}}'' stands 6'3". |
| 624 | * ''Webcomic/TuesdayTitans'': All [[{{Kaiju}} Titans]] are exaggerated examples. Even the smallest Titan is several stories tall, and they are all strong, attractive females. |
| 625 | * ''Webcomic/TwoKinds'' has the [[SheIsTheKing King]] Adelaide, current ruler of the Eastern Basitin; she stands ''at least'' 7' tall (Word of God places her closer to 7'6") making her one of the tallest non-dragon characters by far. |
| 626 | * Esther of ''Webcomic/UnDivine'' is placed at 6'6" when she's in her human form, as such she's a good height above everyone else. [[https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/002/212/494/original/1bb90a266b7c213d.jpg This pic is a good example]]. |
| 627 | * Phix of ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare'' tends towards this in her human form. It would seem that Monica's boss [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/the-honor-is-min/ likes taller women.]] |
| 628 | [[/folder]] |

| 630 | [[folder:Web Originals]] |
| 631 | * Tatjana in the ''Literature/ChaosTimeline'' is about 6 feet. |
| 632 | * Exaggerated by Mary-Sue in ''Literature/TheQuintessentialMarySue'', where she is 6'11" on her bare feet (7'6" when in her high-heeled shoes). |
| 633 | * In ''Script/ShadowjackWatchesSailorMoon'', [[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?589100-IWI-draw-comics-about-Sailor-Moon-Thread-7-5-A-Stormy-Relationship&p=14309382#post14309382 Ami]] [[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?589100-IWI-draw-comics-about-Sailor-Moon-Thread-7-5-A-Stormy-Relationship&p=14316367#post14316367 is implied]] [[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?589100-IWI-draw-comics-about-Sailor-Moon-Thread-7-5-A-Stormy-Relationship&p=14354278#post14354278 to have a thing]] for this sort of women. |
| 634 | * Pala from ''Literature/TalesOfMU'' looks like this, but because of her awkwardness comes off as a HugeSchoolgirl as well. She is, however, a storm giant, if a small one. |
| 635 | [[/folder]] |
| 636 | |
| 637 | [[folder:Web Videos]] |
| 638 | * Blanche Ingram in ''WebVideo/TheAutobiographyOfJaneEyre''. She's a model, a trained dancer, a successful businesswoman, and a great beauty. She's very tall, compared to other ladies like petite Jane or Grace Poole, and she's as tall as Mr Rochester or her friend Warren Danton who are tall guys. |
| 639 | * Danny Lawrence in ''WebVideo/CarmillaTheSeries''. She's an Amazonian red-headed lesbian athlete-scholar who clocks in at an incredibly impressive 6'2", the second-tallest member of the cast after Wilson Kirsch (6'5"). The average height of non-Danny members of the cast (excluding Kirsch) is 5'4". |
| 640 | * ''WebVideo/CriticalRole:'' Vox Machina's druid, Keyleth of the Air Ashari, is canonically six feet tall, and several characters on the show have expressed attraction to her. She's even two inches taller than her LoveInterest, Vax. |
| 641 | * ''WebVideo/EmpiresSMP'' Season 1: After [[spoiler:her transformation into her true Blue Axolotl form]], Lizzie grows to be 10 feet tall. This causes her to become the monarch with the greatest canonical height, being even several feet taller than the ''next''-tallest monarch. Her height is somewhat justified due to [[spoiler:her non-human status]], and her [[HappilyMarried marriage remains happy and stable]] in spite of her husband Joel's own HeightAngst, who never takes it out on her. |

| 643 | |
| 644 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 645 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'': Caitlyn is already considered very pretty and is noticeably taller than Vi (who is 5'9" according to concept art) and nearly as tall as Jayce, meaning she's at least 6 feet tall.[[note]]An interesting inversion to her game counterpart, whose official height is 5'7"[[/note]] |
| 646 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': |
| 647 | ** Lana Kane is one of the tallest, and most gorgeous, women in the main cast, and in her spiked heel boots, is easily as tall as Archer himself. |
| 648 | ** Katya Kasanova qualifies as well, essentially being, for all intents and purposes, Lana's Russian counterpart. |
| 649 | ** During the ''Vice'' season, Pam (who's normally a BigBeautifulWoman) becomes one herself after losing a ton of weight from her cocaine addiction. In ''Danger Island'', she appears as an AmazonianBeauty who's taller than every other man in the cast. |
| 650 | * ''[[Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]]'' franchise: |
| 651 | ** Avatar Kyoshi, the previous Earth Kingdom Avatar, was never seen in either show without her kabuki makeup but she towers over Chin the Conquerer when they [[https://thumbs.gfycat.com/MerryNeedyCub-poster.jpg meet]]. In her tie-in novel,'' Literature/TheRiseOfKyoshi'', she's described by a couple of people as being quite pretty without her makeup. She's also taller than most men she meets. |
| 652 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'': |
| 653 | *** [[DarkActionGirl P'Li]] of [[RenegadeSplinterFaction the Red Lotus]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', at a confirmed height of 6'8", is OneHeadTaller than her [[UnholyMatrimony love interest]] [[BlowYouAway Zaheer]] and the tallest of the group. [[ThirdEye Facial]] [[PowerTattoo tattooing]] and half-shaved head aside, she's [[http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=18_howdarehercharacterdesign.png clearly meant to be beautiful]] (if in an edgy, intimidating way). |
| 654 | *** While [[BadassNormal Asami Sato]] is nowhere near ''that'' tall, she ''is'' probably close to 6'. And her [[GirlyBruiser glamorous]] [[RavenHairIvorySkin raven-and-ivory]] [[http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=18_whenshelooksatkorra.png looks]] explicitly catch quite a few eyes in-universe—most notably, those of Mako [[spoiler:and, eventually, [[TheHeroine Korra]] herself]]. |
| 655 | * Gaea in ''WesternAnimation/ClassOfTheTitans'' may be immensely old, but she's good-looking and among the tallest characters in the show, towering even over her sons and grandsons. |
| 656 | * In ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'', Fenton Crackshell's girlfriend Gandra Dee is physically taller than him. |
| 657 | * Trixie Tang from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' is considered to be attractive by nearly everyone at Dimmsdale Elementary. She's also one of the tallest students in her class. |
| 658 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': |
| 659 | ** Leela, who stands shoulder to shoulder with Fry at 6'0" (182 cm) and can clobber anyone, and still be gorgeous. |
| 660 | ** Hermes' wife, Labarbara Conrad, is noticeably taller than nearly every other human we meet. She's also slim and a dark beauty. |
| 661 | ** This applies to the whole population of the planet of Amazonia. |
| 662 | * ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has Wendy, who is almost twice Dipper and Mabel's height, as well as taller than at least two of her male friends, and is considered to be very pretty, and desirable. |
| 663 | * ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' has both Wonder Woman and Big Barda. |
| 664 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/KickButtowskiSuburbanDaredevil'' episode "Bwar and Peace", Brad falls in love with a Viking woman so tall [[TheFaceless her face is always offscreen]]. |
| 665 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'': Jenny is stated to 6'6" and is cute to boot. |
| 666 | * Princess Celestia, the [[WingedUnicorn Alicorn]] introduced as the ruler of Equestria in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', towers over her subjects. Her sister, Princess Luna, first appears close to normal pony size but grows to almost the same height as Celestia by Season 2. Princess Cadence is shorter than either of them, but is still taller than nearly every non-royal pony (of either gender) seen to date and acts as a ''de facto'' LoveGoddess. All three are generally treated as the benchmark of Equestrian beauty. |
| 667 | * ''WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop'': Penelope Pitstop is almost as tall as Sylvester Sneekly/the Hooded Claw. |
| 668 | * ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': |
| 669 | ** Candace is 5'8", and only age 15, which would make her a HugeSchoolgirl. Get to her older and much more shapely future self and... |
| 670 | ** Vanessa is the same height as Candace, is bustier, and wears leather all the time. |
| 671 | * Ms. Bellum from ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' must certainly qualify, even though we don't see her face until the 10th-anniversary special. She's got a body (to quote [[Series/{{MASH}} Hawkeye Pierce]]) that should be continued on the next girl, and she's taller than many of the villains on the show. |
| 672 | * Princess Kashmir on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' is shown as slightly taller than the 6'/183cm tall Homer Simpson and towers over Chief Wiggum and is considered very attractive in-universe. |
| 673 | * Ahsoka Tano was one of the shortest characters in her introductory series, ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', in which she was 14-17 years old. Come ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', which takes place ten years later, and she has grown into this trope, being taller than most of the main cast at 1.88 meters. This is partially due to her species having horns, however as when she’s reunited with Rex, who stands at 1.83 meters, he appears taller. |
| 674 | * ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': |
| 675 | ** [[PosthumousCharacter Rose Quartz]] was [[BigBeautifulWoman chubby]] and about eight feet tall. She hooked up with Greg, who is implied to [[HasAType have a thing]] for tall women, and [[TheSmartGuy Pearl]] also once mentioned that she [[LesYay thinks she was beautiful]]. |
| 676 | ** Garnet, while not as tall as Rose, is still the tallest member of the current Crystal Gems and stands over most adults- and definitely a looker, if you ask Jamie the Mailman. {{Justified|Trope}} in that she's a gem fusion, and sizewise, fusions are typically the sum-total of their components. |
| 677 | ** Stevonnie, the [[FusionDance fusion of Steven and Connie]], stands taller than every character bar Garnet, and commands the attention of every room they enter (often leaving people speechless). |
| 678 | ** Pearl herself, for that matter, is taller than most men and is called "the hot one" by Mayor Dewey. |
| 679 | ** In "Last One Out of Beach City", Pearl develops an immediate crush on Mystery Girl (a human who resembles Rose Quartz), who is a great deal taller than Pearl herself. |
| 680 | * Like her comic book counterpart, ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''[='=] Starfire is among the tallest members of the group, and still very attractive, and her slightly older sister Blackfire is just as tall and attractive (the only differences being hair and eye colors). |
| 681 | %%* In a case of [[DependingOnTheArtist Depending on the Series]], April "Hot Scoop" O'Neil from ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''. |
| 682 | * ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': |
| 683 | ** [[AwesomeAussie Jasmine]] is a GentleGiant who towers over all other characters. |
| 684 | ** From the first generation, Heather is a very tall girl whose long and toned legs make up most of her body height, and either meets most of the males at eye-level, or towers over them. |
| 685 | ** [[WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace Ridonculous Race]] gave us Kelly, who stands taller than most of the other characters. {{Justified|Trope}}, as she's one of the show's few [[TokenAdult adult females]]. |
