Somehow she's hot and scary at the same time!
She's tall, pretty, aloof and composed. As a result, she generally attracts quite a following wherever she goes. She usually has waist-length, dark hair.

While it might not be fair to say that trouble follows her everywhere, it's accurate for most cases of the type. This sometimes causes an undeserved reputation as a delinquent.

Often the target of one or more Schoolgirl Lesbians. If she is one herself, expect her to have a more-or-less Moe or Shrinking Violet girlfriend.

The term was coined to describe Azuma Hazuki of Yami To Boushi To Hon No Tabibito, playing on the old description of a man as "Tall Dark And Handsome". However, this is not a purely physical characterization; the aloofness is a key aspect of the trope.

This character type crosses over rather regularly with the Ojou and Kuudere. Feel free to compare the examples.
