History FieryRedhead / AnimeAndManga

* Kyo Sohma from ''Manga/FruitsBasket''. [[SpearCounterpart He may be male]], but he practically ''is'' this trope.

** Dawn's rival Zoey from ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesDiamondAndPearl Diamond and Pearl]]'' qualifies delightfully.

** Misty played the trope straight, especially in [[Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries the original series]], often by griping at Ash for the damage to her bike, or simply chewing him out [[WhatAnIdiot for his general lack of common sense.]] Even her ponytail resembles flame. [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], [[WaterIsWomanly she specializes in Water-type Pokémon.]]

-->''I'm not afraid of you! Just come and face me... '''Sapphire!'''''

** The gym leader Flannery, on the other hand, does use Fire-types. Both typecasting and hotheadedness worked to her detriment in ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' back at Mt. Chimney, but she puts up a fight while stalling Kyogre later on.

** Zoey from ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesDiamondAndPearl Diamond and Pearl]]'' qualifies delightfully.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Misty played the trope straight in the anime, often by griping at Ash for the damage to her bike, or simply chewing him out [[WhatAnIdiot for his general lack of common sense.]] [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], [[WaterIsWomanly she specializes in Water-type Pokémon.]]

** Jessie, the most badass member of the Team Rocket trio.
** Zoey qualifies delightfully.

** Asuka Langley Soryu is a HotBlooded, hot-tempered redhead. Why else is she the picture on the main page? As a character defined by her pride and emotions, Asuka's red hair and blue eyes were chosen to contrast the blue hair and red eyes of TheStoic ShyBlueHairedGirl [[ReiAyanamiExpy Rei Ayanami]], resulting in a perfect hair-color-coded RedOniBlueOni dynamic.

** Flannery, on the other hand, does use Fire-types. Both typecasting and hotheadedness worked to her detriment in ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' back at Mt. Chimney, but she puts up a fight while stalling Kyogre later on.

* [[LargeHam Nobunaga]] of ''Anime/SengokuOtome'' was told to squeeze a pipe to calm her down whenever she became frustrated. She does this, but it doesn't stop her from threatening ghosts who aren't scared of her stories.

* Mai Tokiha of ''Anime/MaiHime'' is a subversion: she's a redhead with fire-based powers and presented as an example of this trope in the first episode with her violent outbursts at Yuuichi, but after that, she's shown to be [[CoolBigSis compassionate and caring]] and remains that way until things go ''really'' bad for her and everyone else.

* ''Manga/MakenKi'': Minori is another literal example, who's Maken gives her [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c042/22.html the "firepower"]] to match her hair color and disposition. The last thing anyone wants is piss her off. Ouken Yamato can attest to that [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c043/16.html better than anyone.]]

* [[EvilRedhead Villainous example]]: Revy of ''Anime/BlackLagoon'' is a troubled, loud, rude, sarcastic, deadly, very competitive, short-tempered, cynical, confident, and considerably aggressive nihilist (a person who believes that life is meaningless and rejects all religious and moral principles) who exhibits a wild temperament and has dark red hair to match.

* Anne Shirley in the anime version of ''Literature/AnneOfGreenGables'', who, in turn, is based on Anne Shirley in the novel series ''Literature/AnneOfGreenGables'', mentioned in the literature section.

* Ladonia from ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' is not only a BrattyHalfPint and SpoiledBrat prone to throwing tantrums when things don't go his way, but an incredibly bold [[AdorablyPrecociousChild and precocious]] child who in his introduction demands to be made leader of the micronation group. He's also notable for being the first unambiguously redheaded character in a series rife with HairColorDissonance.

* Asuna of ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima''. The series also has Anya, who's both a [[PlayingWithFire fire-user]] and very feisty.

* The titular character from ''Anime/AggressiveRetsuko'' is a red panda office lady who keeps a cute and proper appearance but secretly ''seethes'' with anger, and in the original shorts, it doesn't take much to set her off. Even her name literally means "fiery child".
