Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': A blond character is good and has a heart of gold.
2* '''Straight''': Blond-haired Alice is sweet, wholesome, and good, making her a big contrast from the dark-haired witch who is out to get her.
3* '''Exaggerated''':
4** Hair like pale spun gold, IncorruptiblePurePureness.
5** The AlwaysLawfulGood race [[PeopleOfHairColor are all blonde]] and the AlwaysChaoticEvil race [[PeopleOfHairColor are all]] [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette black-haired.]]
6* '''Downplayed''':
7** The dirty-blond hair of the [[TheHeart sweet]], [[NaiveNewcomer naïve team newbie]] (who's nonetheless a [[RoundedCharacter complex]] and {{dynamic|Character}} major character) only particularly stands out because the rest of the central cast are dark-haired and/or shaved head.
8** The blond-haired Alice is mostly a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
9* '''Justified''': Alice grew up with love and affection because she's so pretty (and she knows this and is kind to those who did not get treated so).
10* '''Inverted''':
11** [[LightIsNotGood The evil blonde]] attacks the poor innocent brunet character.
12** Blonde Alice is [[JadeColoredGlasses cynical]] or a [[BreakTheCutie broken cutie]].
13** Blonde Alice is an [[{{Jerkass}} asshole]] and is very mean, she [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale regularly punches Bob]], has an [[HairTriggerTemper awful temper]]. and she's very aggressive in general which makes everyone hate her.
14* '''Subverted''':
15** Blonde Alice is a BitchInSheepsClothing.
16** Blonde Alice is TheMole.
17* '''Double Subverted''':
18** Açoce is a SheepInSheepsClothing
19** Except that GoodIsNotNice and she had to worm her way into the villain's confidence.
20** She's a KnightInSourArmor.
21** She's blonde, and appears to be cold-hearted and cynical, yet she's [[HiddenHeartOfGold secretly quite kindhearted and sweet]], and has a strong reason to act aloof and pretend she's a jerk.
22** Turns out she's a PunchClockVillain who leaves the villain at the first opportunity.
23* '''Parodied''': A villain dyes her hair blond and undergoes an instant HeelFaceTurn. Her {{Mooks}} kidnap her and dye it bubble-gum pink. She reverts and kills them all for laying hands on her.
24* '''Zig-Zagged''':
25** She reveals that she dyes her hair. Cue the CostumeTestMontage as her younger self goes through a dozen hair styles and colors before settling on blonde. No one is really sure what her alignment is supposed to be now.
26** Alice has blond hair but she frequently switches from being nice to being mean and vice versa.
27* '''Averted''': Hair color is not connected to morality; the good character can just as easily be a brunette or a redhead.
28* '''Enforced''': How will the audience tell if they're not ColorCodedForYourConvenience?
29* '''Lampshaded''': "Hair dye might do more to make the world a better place than all the magic and fighting we do."
30* '''Invoked''':
31** NiceGirl Alice dyes her hair blond to look the part.
32-->'''Alice:''' Trust me, [[ReformedBully I'm good now]].\
33'''Bob:''' You're good? [[SmallRoleBigImpact After being responsible for turning me into a cynic 20 years ago]], i'm supposed to forgive you and believe that you turned good?!\
34'''Alice:''' (Dyes her hair blond) I'm blonde so that means I'm good, right? ([[OhCrapSmile Smiles sheepishly)
35* '''Exploited''': Alice uses her blonde hair to look innocent and pure-hearted, when it's a façade.
36* '''Defied''': "I'm not going to turn into some namby-pamby IncorruptiblePurePureness because of my hair color!"
37* '''Discussed''': "What, you expected me to save you idiots just because I'm blonde?"
38* '''Conversed''': "Brown ... black ... brown ... blonde ... Gee, I wonder which one is going to [[HighHeelFaceTurn betray the bad guy]]?"
39* '''Deconstructed''':
40** Alice treats Bob as good because he's blond ... and he horribly betrays her.
41** Alternately, Alice is so good and pure that she doesn't understand that other people are capable of being evil, so she routinely gets tricked by people with bad intentions.
42* '''Reconstructed''': But then Charlie rescues her and reveals Bob dyed his hair.
