Rose-Haired Girl

Just like blue-haired girls are often introverted, pink-haired girls are often cheery and optimistic, strong and passionate, or sweet and romantic. There's a high chance that, if a series has a Five-Man Band, a girl with pink hair is The Chick. It's also a popular hair color for protagonists of Magical Girl series.

Bonus points if she has a blue-haired love interest.

This trope doesn't count just for general pink hair. Other shades like magenta or salmon also count, but purple certainly does not. Pink-haired boys can also be examples.

Sub Trope of You Gotta Have Blue Hair and Pink Means Feminine. For animals with pink fur, go see Amazing Technicolor Wildlife.

Sometimes in anime it can overlap with Bitch in Sheep's Clothing. The pink-haired girl being designated as a Yamato Nadeshiko may be a Dead Unicorn Trope.

Compare Heroes Want Redheads, Red-Headed Hero.

Examples

    Advertising 
  • Erin Esurance from Esurance commercials, although one commercial revealed that her pink hair was a wig and the Animated Actor playing her in-universe naturally has dark hair.
  • There's a holiday-season smartphone commercial in which dozens of little people in elf costumes and bright pink wigs sing about and package the ad's product.

    Anime & Manga 

    Comic Books 
  • Megan Gwynn (Pixie) from New X-Men fit the definition for a good while, until Magik (or Magik's demonic clone) got to her. Depending on the artist, her hair's now either mostly black with pink streaks or mostly pink with black streaks, but either way, she was heavily affected by having bits of her soul ripped out and is suffering some serious overall disillusionment with the X-Adults.
  • SpyGirl from Spy Boy. Of course, she is intended to be a spoof of all things anime.
  • Devi from I Feel Sick definitely fits 'passionate and strong' and wishes she fit 'romantic'.
  • Darla Deering, a.k.a. Miss Thing in Marvel NOW's FF series.

    Fan Works 

    Film 
  • Lava Girl from Shark Boy and Lava Girl has neon-pink hair that glows when she activates her powers.
  • Frenchie in the film version of Grease accidentally dyes her hair pink, leading the "Beauty School Dropout" fantasy sequence.

    Literature 
  • Stan Dominus from Duumvirate is a male example, and he even wears pink clothing to match. Aww, isn't he cute?
  • In the fantasy novel Drink Down the Moon by Charles De Lint, one of the faerie women living among humans, who is posing as a young punk musician, has natural pink hair. Of course, anyone who sees her (anyone who sees her and due to her glamour is led to think she is human, that is) assumes it's dyed.
  • Nymphadora Tonks from the Harry Potter series can choose whatever hair color she wants as part of her magical ability. Usually, it's bubblegum pink.
  • Mei Sheong of Parrish Plessis has pink hair. It's not natural, but she strongly prefers the color and spends a considerable portion of her meager salary keeping it dyed.
  • Mae Crawford from The Demon's Lexicon, although it's dyed. It fits her optimistic personality.
  • Trapped on Draconica: Daniar is the strong and passionate type.

    Live Action TV 

    Music Videos 
  • Luka Megurine and IA of the Vocaloids.
  • Pop/rock singer P!nk, a.k.a. Alecia Moore, used to often dye her hair hot pink. She doesn't seem to do it so much in recent years, though.
  • hide was a standout example of a male music artist with pink hair on occasion. Most of the time, his hair was at least in part somewhere on the red-pink spectrum.
  • Hayley Williams of Paramore.

    Pro Wrestling 
  • Independent circuit female wrestler LuFisto models her outfits on anime characters, so she sometimes dyed her hair pink.

    Tabletop Games 
  • In the heavily anime-influenced RPG Mekton, Mike Pondsmith's infamous Lifepath character generation system includes a table for hair color, which includes both more staid, real-life hair colors as well as anime hair colors such as green, purple, blue, and, yes, pink.
