Examples of FieryRedhead in Western Animation.
----
%%* Niko from ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers''. Daisy O'Mega in the same series.
* [[FlamingHair Taken literally]] with the hot-tempered and red-headed Flame Princess in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' who often swings between adorable & cute and angry & violent.
%%* Katella from ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin'': Young HotBlooded Prince Arin, whom the others often have to restrain from going off half-cocked charging into ''everything'' (Though his red hair is usually hidden underneath a helmet).
* ''WesternAnimation/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'': Brittany. Her hair is strawberry blonde in some incarnations of the Chipmunks universe (such as the live-action movies) and DAMN, she's fiery.
* Suki from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' inverts this trope. While she is the leader of the Kyoshi Warriors and Sokka's eventual girlfriend, she's actually one of the {{nice|Guy}}st characters of the show.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'': Tyrone is usually a pretty mellow DeadpanSnarker, but he's been shown to have quite a temper in some episodes, like "Best Clowns in Town" and "Sinbad Sails Alone".
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': While ordinarily a [[TheTease sensual]] [[TheVamp seductress]] Poison Ivy isn't someone you want to piss off. Doing so makes her switch from teasing and kissing you to busting out her wrist mounted crossbow, trying to make a few bloody holes in your head as she screams "murderer!" like a dementedly enraged harpy. Batman learned that during their [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison first encounter]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'':
** Gwen fits this trope, but in the {{Time Skip}}ped sequel ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'', she seems [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks to have outgrown it]], unless you hurt her loved ones. That's when things start blowing up.
** Ben's Rath form is a FieryRedhead over most of his body, being an anthro tiger. He's also UnstoppableRage personified.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBotsMaster'': Blitzy Zulander is easily the more hot-headed of the Zulander siblings, preferring full-on assaults against the Corp. She's also the main pilot of the combining ''HumongousMecha'' Jungle Fiver.
* Nonny from ''WesternAnimation/BubbleGuppies'' is an inversion. He has orange hair, but is actually quite TheStoic.
* One of WesternAnimation/BugsBunny's adversaries, Gruesome Gorilla, is a KillerGorilla (as his name would indicate) with a red tuft of hair on his head. However, he averts this trope in ''Apes of Wrath'' (his final appearance,[[note]]It should be noted that this cartoon is a remake of ''WesternAnimation/GorillaMyDreams'', his debut[[/note]] albeit renamed Elvis), where he doesn't have his red hair tuft.
* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'': Wheeler has red hair and the temper and fighting experience to match, which makes it very on-point when he ends up with [[PlayingWithFire the power of Fire.]]
%%* Ace [=McCloud=] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Centurions}}''.
%%* Atlanta from ''WesternAnimation/ClassOfTheTitans''. Theresa, to a lesser extent.
* Inverted by Philly Phil from ''WesternAnimation/ClassOf3000'', who is a redhead and a [[NiceGuy mellow]] if eccentric fellow.
* Numbuh 86 in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', an [[ScotIreland Irish]] girl with a mass of curly red hair. She is ''very'' well-known for having a fiery temper.
* ''WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek'':
** Kelsey is a red-blooded {{Tomboy}} who fancies herself a fearless warrior and is quick to jump into action.
** Averted with JP, the other redheaded main character, who is mellow and easygoing.
** Big Red, a TinyTyrannicalGirl with big, curly red hair, who often has an antagonistic relationship with Craig.
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': Averted by Jasmine "Jazz" Fenton. She wasn't a spitfire. She was a stuck-up (but caring) know-it-all.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'': Quinn Morgendorffer, when she gets really worked up. Usually subverted though, since she acts more like a DumbBlonde, despite having orange-red hair.
* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'':
** Darkwing's adopted daughter Gosalyn. She is fierce and spirited and has red hair.
** Averted by the show's other notable red-haired character, Launchpad, who is a GentleGiant.
* ''WesternAnimation/DaveTheBarbarian'' has Fang, a BarbarianHero who relishes in mayhem and destruction.
* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'': Dexter's family is split evenly between this and the DumbBlonde stereotype; he and his mother are fiery redheads and his sister and dad are happy-go-lucky yellow-haired [[TheDitz ditzes]].
%%* ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'': Beebe and Roger (and, at times, Judy).
* ''WesternAnimation/TheDreamstone'': Amberly is usually [[WomenAreWiser rather level-headed and soft-spoken]]; however, her temper flares immensely at times. [[PityTheKidnapper The Urpneys know this]] [[CuteBruiser first hand]].
* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'':
** Sarah is violent, screams a lot, and has a HairTriggerTemper.
** Lee Kanker is a reckless, HotBlooded bully who also qualifies as EvilRedhead.
** Kevin can be also considered one. Though he's much calmer than the other two above, he has his fair share of his short-tempered moments, which are often caused by the Eds, '''''most especially''''' Eddy.
* Vicky from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'', Timmy's loud, violent, and sadistic babysitter.
* Lois Griffin from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' has shades of this when her patience with Peter is at her limit, especially in the first Christmas special when she completely loses it and goes on a destructive mini-rampage.
** Averted hard to the point of an inversion or StereotypeFlip with the [=McShooty=]'s bartender in the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Internal Affairs". She greets the gang in a very friendly manner, Quagmire mistakes her for this trope and makes an off-color joke and she runs off, sobbing, apparently traumatized by the encounter. Even Quagmire's "okay, so she's a regular woman" still isn't quite accurate.
%%* Kyle from ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum''.
* Inverted in ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam'' - the red-haired Sam is very calm and level-headed, while the also ginger Norman is more mischievous than hot-tempered.
* Every woman in the Slaghoople bloodline in ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' -- Wilma's mother, Wilma, and Pebbles. Their bold attitudes are more than enough to keep Fred in line.
* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'': Frankie, as Mr. Herriman and Bloo learn when they push her too far.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'':
** Fox. More determined than hot-tempered, however.
** Demona. As hot-tempered as her hair colour implies.
* ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'': Peg and Pistol form a mother-daughter pair of this. Peg is quite frightening when angry and is very assertive about her [[OnlySaneMan sensible opinions]] (unlike her ShrinkingViolet[=/=]ExtremeDoormat [[NoRespectGuy son]]) to the point she's actually able to control her otherwise bossy and dominating husband. Pistol is a GenkiGirl and a BrattyHalfPint.
* In ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', this is played straight with Manly Dan but averted with his daughter, Wendy, who is more laidback than her dad.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' hilariously inverts the FieryRedhead and DumbBlonde trope with the two titular characters. Redheaded Billy is dumb and blonde-haired Mandy is more fiery (although Billy does have his moments of fits of rage). Billy's mother, Gladys, also has red hair and she has many fits of rage and sometimes even nervous breakdowns.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'': Laney Penn is a tomboy with red BoyishShortHair and a fearless, spunky attitude that makes her one to avoid making mad. [[BurningWithAnger She also catches fire every so often]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Grossology}}'': Abby's most notable trait is her red hair that she keeps in a large ankle-length ponytail, with her being far more excitable than her dark-haired brother Ty.
* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'':
** Ernie Potts is a demolition man [[TheNapoleon Napoleon]] with a HairTriggerTemper. Though he is mostly bald, the hair he has left is red.
** The red-headed [[ScoutOut Campfire Lass]] got angry at Arnold and Gerald at the end of the episode "Chocolate Turtles", revealing that she is ViolentGlaswegian. She also got angry at Helga at the end of "Helga Blabs It All".
* ''WesternAnimation/TheHollow'': Kai is the member of the group most prone to emotional outbursts.
* Zoey Stilton from ''WesternAnimation/{{Horseland}}'' is the redhead of the group who's often self-centered and aloof.
%%* Pepper Potts from ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'' is a big-time FieryRedhead and GenkiGirl.
%%* Jane from ''WesternAnimation/JaneAndTheDragon'', which at one point was even lampshaded by the dragon in a promo.
* Saffi on ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' has dark red hair and a wild, crazy personality.
%%* Jessie Bannon from ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures''.
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'':
** Hawkgirl/Shayara Hol has a warrior’s spirit and is one of the League’s strongest fighters.
** Hawk/Hank Hall is shown to be a redhead at the beginning of "Hawk and Dove" and is HotBlooded.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': Averted with Eugly, who despite having red hair is actually the most docile, kind, and calm character on the show.
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'':
** Kim herself has red hair, and she also has incredible drive and passion. Ironically, Animology calls these traits "blue fox".
** Kim's mother Anne is an inversion; she also has red hair, but she's generally calmer and more put together than her brown-haired husband.
%%* The V.E.N.O.M warrior, Vanessa Warfield, from ''WesternAnimation/{{MASK}}''...although you may notice the dark streak on her hair.
* ''WesternAnimation/MagiNation:'' Edyn boasts an enormous head of orange hair, and can be quite temperamental.
* Kiva from ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'', the series' tough and determined resident ActionGirl.
%%* Mallory [=McMallard=] from ''WesternAnimation/MightyDucksTheAnimatedSeries''.
* ''WesternAnimation/MikeLuAndOg'': Mike is an inversion. While being a sports-loving red-haired girl, she is actually calm and rather laid-back, compared to the shorter-tempered brunette princess Lu. Though there are a few times when she's pushed over the edge like in "Sultans of Swat" and "To Serve Lu".
%%* Abraham Kane from ''WesternAnimation/{{Motorcity}}'', also an EvilRedhead.
* Adam Lyon from ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'' is this. It even becomes a RunningGag in the episode ''Wild Thing''.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Rainbow Dash is a {{tomboy}} with tons of attitude, and though her mane has enough colors to fit her name, her bangs are warmer colors (red, orange, and yellow) and are more prominent, while the cooler colors (green, blue, and purple) are mostly hidden behind her neck.
** Sunset Shimmer is ambitious, testy, sarcastic, hot-tempered, and red-haired -- although admittedly her hair's about an even mix of red and yellow.
%%* Teddy in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTales''.
%%* Olivia from ''WesternAnimation/OrsonAndOlivia''.
* ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall'': The ending sequence reveals that [[spoiler:Beatrice has red hair as a human]], which combined with her already shown snarky and easily angered personality puts her in this trope.
* ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'': Pepper Ann Pearson, though she's more spacy and neurotic than fiery. In the uniform episode, she admits that it's auburn, which other characters agree to once she tries to take credit for being the trope.
* Melba Manners from ''WesternAnimation/PetAlien'' is a redhead who has a [[HairTriggerTemper fiery temper]] that's caused her to lash out (and even attack) Tommy, [[AbhorrentAdmirer Granville]], and the aliens on occasion. Even when she's calm, she's still caustic and crabby ''at best'', and loves threatening people into doing menial tasks for her.
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Candace. Her long hair is more orange than red, but she is still an overactive girl.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': In general, most notably "Stuck Up, Up, and Away", and "Boy Toys"
** Princess Morbucks. She’s as [[EvilRedhead antagonistic]] as she is angry, always hotheaded, whiny, and incredibly bratty.
** Blossom is a subversion. She's the most level-headed of the Powerpuff Girls, and even when she does, it's not as frequent when compared to Buttercup (brunette), who loses it almost every time, nor is it played for comedic effect like Bubbles, who often can get hyper with her emotions.
** Miss Bellum is an inversion. She is more level-headed than everyone else in Townsville. Only one instance has her lose it with the Mayor's stupidity ("Pet Feud").
* ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite'': Red Butler has orange hair and a red color motif. He is a headstrong boy.
* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': Jet Propulsion has fiery red hair. However, he isn't angry per se, he's moreso excitable and passionate, making him a subversion.
* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' and its '90s successor ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeGhostbusters''; Ray Stantz becomes a redhead thanks to AdaptationDyeJob (his hair is brown, Dan Ackroyd's natural hair color, in the movies); he's headstrong, passionate, and excitable, but very much a NiceGuy. It's the brunette Peter Venkman who has the temper often associated with the trope. Ditto the Ghostbusters' SassySecretary Janine Melnitz, though to a lesser extent as her hair was already a reddish-brown color in the first movie.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'':
** Subverted with Gretchen, as she's pretty easygoing, unless you make her ''really'' mad. She and raven-haired Spinelli actually swap their normal hair tropes: Gretchen's the brainy one (who ''was'' going to have black hair originally), while Spinelli's the fiery one. Played straight with Ashley Q.
** As flashbacks show us, Miss Finster was a redhead, and still fiery.
* ''WesternAnimation/RocketPower'': Mackenzie Benders is an ankle-biter with a bitter attitude.
* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'': Bev Bighead can become this at times, mostly when she's irritated with Ed.
* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': [[ViolentGlaswegian The Scotsman]] is a loud, brutish warrior (and about the closest thing Jack has to a friend). Then there's his wife, who's even louder and more bad-tempered than he is. Season five introduces us to his AmazonianBeauty ActionGirl daughters who are all boisterous and have been raised as warriors to fight Aku.... he has least ''[[MassiveNumberedSiblings 41]]'' of them.
* Doyle Blackwell from ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays'', Zak's confident and reckless CoolUncle.
%%* Talon from ''WesternAnimation/SkeletonWarriors''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' features [[CrustyCaretaker Groundskeeper Willie]], a ViolentGlaswegian with the requisite Scottish red hair.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'': Sassette was this before Papa Smurf changed her into a real Smurf. That's where [[MeaningfulName she gets her name]]. Averted in the comic books, where she is more chatty than bratty when she was first created.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** Kyle is this (though his huge red Jewfro is normally covered by his hat), often instigated as a result of [[{{Jerkass}} Cartman's]] bigotry or greed. This can lead to his own {{Jerkass}} tendencies, approaching KnightTemplar at times. His mother, too, is a full-blown fiery Jewish KnightTemplar redhead.
** Harrison Yates, South Park's red-haired police sergeant, is far more brutal than actually competent.
** Darryl Weathers is a "Pissed Off White Trash Redneck Conservative"--[[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed with more than a passing resemblance]] to Creator/JeffFoxworthy--who incessantly screams about how the refugees from the future [[VerbalTic TOOK OUR JOBS!]]
** Craig's father Thomas Tucker can be pretty fiery whenever someone pisses him off. He also had a habit of FlippingTheBird to whoever annoyed him in the earlier seasons.
** Kenny's mother Carol [=McCormick=] can be this too. She's an alcoholic who often butts heads with her husband.
** RecurringCharacter Skeeter is a redhead who tends to get passionately angry over insanely petty and nonsensical things.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends'': Taken almost as literally as one possibly can with Firestar (she has brown hair in her human form).
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'': Death Watch member (and [[spoiler:Duchess Satine's sister]]) Bo-Katan [[spoiler: Kryze]]. Even though she is usually calm, she somewhat fits as a FieryRedhead due to being a rather aggressive character. Also is an EvilRedhead.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': Ruby is very much this, having a red tint in her hair along with being red overall. She is ''very'' HotBlooded, to the point of her evaporating an entire pool because of her anger.
* ''WesternAnimation/StuntDawgs'': Sizzle, especially since she uses explosives!
%%* Volcana from ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries''.
%%* He may be a minor character, but Johnny Sunspot is without a doubt the resident fiery redhead of ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo''.
%%* Kimmy the cheerleader LovableAlphaBitch from ''WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan''.
* ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'': If a headband counts as hair, Raphael certainly qualifies. Subverted in the comics, though, as all the turtles have red headbands.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': Starfire doesn't have the fiery temper ([[BewareTheNiceOnes unless you hurt her friends]]), but she's very passionate and [[GenkiGirl energetic]]. She even flies using "unbridled joy" and uses star bolts powered by "righteous fury!"
* ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'': While Otto is generally outgoing and friendly towards everyone around him, he doesn't appreciate it when adults are mean to him or do something incredibly stupid. Sometimes, the attitude towards these types of people are just plain spiteful. He will often argue and lose his temper altogether a few times. Sometimes, he will work out a plan that has the sole purpose of simply humiliating someone, let alone get a mission completed.
* Izzy on the ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' series is well known and well-loved for her hyperactive and unpredictable personality. In ''Revenge of the Island'', the normally level-headed Zoey can get this way [[InvokedTrope when provoked]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'':
** Subverted since the redhead Sam is a BadassBookworm and the brains of the group.
** However, Gabriella seems to be more spitfire than her daughter mentioned above.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers Generation 1'':
** Cliffjumper is a hotheaded little red Autobot who is extremely paranoid and eager to blindly charge into a fight.
** Ironhide is a crusty old veteran but is also eager to wade into a good fight. Has a red 'helmet' and main body.
** Hot Rod is brash, impetuous, and outspoken as a young Autobot, and retains a primarily red/magenta color. Averted later as he becomes solidly brick red as Rodimus Prime, but also becomes more morose, brooding, and jaded.
** Warpath is a shouty BoisterousBruiser with no subtlety and love of combat and turns into a maroon tank.
* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'': Bloom the main character, is a VERY literal example in the "fiery" part, specially if friends of hers are endangered.
* Doubles as EvilRedhead, Jack Spicer from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' is a hammy CardCarryingVillain with blood-red hair.
* WesternAnimation/YosemiteSam. Quite obviously. One of the songs from ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'', "Blow My Stack", is about his [[HairTriggerTemper anger issues]] which go to ridiculous extents in the music video.
* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'': Speedy, aka Red Arrow, was ticked off at constantly being ComicBook/GreenArrow's sidekick and set off on his own. Despite this, he genuinely cares about his friends and looks after them. In secret.
