- Child of the Storm:
- Ron Weasley has bright ginger hair, is fairly moody (typically for a teenage boy), and has a fiery temper when roused. He's one of the very few people willing to get in a shouting match with Harry, given sufficient reason.
- Jean Grey has dark red hair, and while she's a Nice Girl and an All-Loving Hero, when she does go off, she goes off like a bomb. Since she's also Cute, but Cacophonic, this is also noisy. Since she's also one of the most powerful members of the cast at the tender age of 17, this gets a relatively and understandably wary response.
- Lily Potter, cousin once removed of the aforementioned Jean, was this in life, according to pretty much everyone who knew her, having dark red hair and a fiery temper that usually lit up when a friend was upset. Like Jean, it was the flip side of her passionately caring for streak. Now, being Not Quite Dead, she's much more sanguine about things. Of course, given that she's the White Phoenix of the Crown, this is probably for the best.
- Sean Cassidy has bright red hair and is generally pretty controlled and easy-going, a genial Cool Teacher and mentor. He's also got a simmering capacity for rage when pushed that once led to him doing things to an IRA cell that had killed his wife that gave Nick Fury of all people nightmares. Then there's the way he explodes at Wisdom after working out that the latter sneakily put Warren in the firing line to get him blooded and ready for battle.
- Children of an Elder God: Asuka is moody, hasty, feisty and temperamental. In her first appearance she got ordered to capture an aquatic Eldritch Abomination. She did not really want to because she would have to touch the slimy, repulsive thing to seize it. Then it bit her robot's hand off. She started to yell, swear, pummel it and claw it so savagely that there only were chunks of bloody flesh smearing the ground when she was done with it.
- Code Geass: Paladins of Voltron: Kallen's quite hot-headed and fiery in personality.
- Comic Book SNAFU: Akiza Izayoi is easily angered, particularly when her Berserk Button is pushed.
- Dungeon Keeper Ami: Anise, who is a Hot-Blooded, redheaded fairy, being the loudest and most aggressive of the fairy sisters.
- Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail: Chloe Cerise has long maroon hair and she is known to be quite passionate for her likes (the horror and macabre) and very very angry if you happen to piss her off (whether it's slamming a hot plate of curry into Goh's face or beating up her bully with a paint can after having red paint dumped over her, her brother injured and being called a "Monster Lover" too many times). And then she later gets the ability to cast fire.
- Infinity Train: Boiling Point: Boscha Urodela has bright pink hair but she also has a nasty temper and will set fire to everything she sees and loves to get into a fight if she can. An alternate version of Chloe of the Vermillion also appears, but from what is shown she's more calm and confident compared to the Blossoming Trail adaptation of her.
- Last Child of Krypton: Asuka is very feisty, short-tempered (especially when she has to deal with idiots or perverts as Touji found out), hot-blooded and battle-thirsty (she was eager to hop into her giant robot and fight when an enemy struck).
- Two examples from The Night Unfurls:
- Maia the Mercenary Queen is a downplayed example. In spite of the absence of a Hair-Trigger Temper, she is certainly the most outgoing among the Seven Shields, matching her red, Boyish Short Hair. Her sarcastic and confident personality, together with her preference for frequenting a bar for some ale, bring to mind a lad-ette in all but a short temper. This is justified by her fighting alongside the Black Dogs in the past, which explains why she shows a more passionate side when Vault is concerned. Later subverted as the events of Chapter 11 of the original has made her less fiery and more melancholic.
- Inverted for Lily. She has long red hair, but is a demure peacemaker among the main characters. It is worth noting that prior to becoming an apprentice hunter, she worked as a nun in the Church.
- Pokémon Crossing: Benedict's a redhead and has a hotheaded competitive personality, especially when it comes to Pokémon battles. He often gets into trouble due to his short temper and was a former delinquent who got suspended from school five times.

- Superwomen of Eva 2: Lone Heir of Krypton: Although Asuka's character softens up as she matures, she keeps being a bold, hot-tempered and passionate redhead.
- Thousand Shinji: Asuka is a berserker of Khorne, God of War. She is a FURNACE of rage, passion, temper, tenderness, aggressiveness and emotion. She is repeatedly described as passionate, fiery, fierce, furious... and later she actually becomes the embodiment of War and Wrath.
- Resurrected Memories: As has been previously stated Ember has auburn hair in human form and is known to have a bit of a temper, even after her Heel–Face Turn.
- Sora Takenouchi in Digimon Adventure 02: The Story We Never Told. While her canon counterpart has a big Girliness Upgrade and averts this trope, in the fanfic, she has a temper when her buttons are pressed and isn't afraid to punch someone when they piss her off.
- Johanna Smith-Rhodes, red-haired Assassin, in fic such as Nature Studies and Why and were by A.A. Pessimal. She also stirs up Pasadena, California, in The Big Bang Theory crossover The Many Worlds Interpretation. It turned out as the stories unfolded that her family are mainly redheaded.note .

- There are plenty of fanfictions depicting Hans or Anna having fire powers. This trope is take more literally, of course.

After being reaped she insulted the escort on the stage for mispronouncing her name.the commentators made all kinds of ridiculous puns about her red hair and fiery personality.

- The One I Love Is...: Asuka is quite hot-tempered, hot-blooded and emotional. This is visible in her first scene, where she has a jealousy-fueled public meltdown after Rei has given chocolates to Shinji. It is even reinforced by the episode 4 title ("Don't play with fire") which focused on her.
- In The Second Try, Asuka's temper mellowed considerably as she got older and became a mother, but she retained her explosive anger. Threatening her family brings it to the forefront:"You bastard!

- Quicken: Red-haired Emma becomes a very hotheaded and short-tempered berserker, to the point that she's seriously frightened of losing her temper and hurting her family and best friend.For a moment, I felt a hot, hot rage inside me, that even after opening myself up to her like that—figuratively and literally—she would still have doubts. I knew that anger: it was the same sort of fury that let me survive—or kill—all the things I had faced so far. And I’d rather take the knife to myself again before I would let Taylor or anyone else I cared about become the target of that fury.
