The AloofDarkHairedGirl is a fairly common character type combining both appearance and personality. She will generally be taller than her peers as well, more physically developed and their hair will be [[RapunzelHair very long]] and dark. Frequently, their skin will in contrast be [[RavenHairIvorySkin very pale.]] A key point in the idea behind their design is that they look older, more beautiful and meeting a certain classic ideal of Japanese feminine beauty combining maturity, a quiet attitude and a combination of long hair and very pale skin.
The AloofDarkHairedGirl will not merely ''look'' older than her peers, however. Frequently, she will also act more reserved and aloof and thus seem more mature, which may earn her some younger female admirers. It is not uncommon for them to be fond of teasing their peers or acting as their big sisters, though in all cases they will still maintain their dignity. Occasionally, she will even look [[IceQueen cold and distant]], but in this case she is still probably [[SugarAndIcePersonality a nice person]] deep down. Finally, it is essential to remember that despite the usual popularity of the girl in question, they do not seek it out. Instead, people simply gravitate towards them with admiration.
Compare OneeSama. May lead to EvenTheGirlsWantHer in the right sort of series.

* Sakaki in ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' is a subversion - her apparent aloofness is really because she's a ShrinkingViolet, in spite of her physical appearance.
* Suzuka in ''OutlawStar'' is tall (almost six feet), has long black hair, the most attractive female in the main cast and even after joining Gene's crew she prefers to be left alone.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', for all its fanservice, has very few examples of females that genuinely fit this trope. [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Nemu Kurotsuchi]] is a willowy beauty with long dark hair, has an aloof personality, and is always calm, polite, and reserved.

* Maki Izumi from ''MartianSuccessorNadesico'' is something of a subversion of this. Physically speaking, she's quite attractive; however, she's always cracking [[IncrediblyLamePun bad puns]], has a habit for playing the ukulele (terribly), and nobody seems sexually interested in her while she never shows any sexual interest in anyone else. [[spoiler:At least, not until the episode where everyone's repressed personalities come to the forefront and her sexual side tries to convince both Akito and Akatsuki to have sex with her. Of course, this is also the episode where it's explained that she's repressed said sexual side because both of her fiancees died young and she's convinced if she opens up to anyone, they'll inevitably die as well and she'll just be alone and heartbroken again.]]
* Jun Fudo in ''DevilmanLady'' anime is a shy and timid supermodel.
* Ogasawara Sachiko in ''LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru'' is tall, has long [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack purple hair]], and is described as cold and aloof despite being universally admired throughout her school.
* Konoe Tsurugi in ''Anime/HanaukyoMaidTai'' is the tall and stern head of the Security department for the main character's MaidCorps. She has long black hair and in the reboot her Adjutant, Yashima has a crush on her.
* Ran, titular character of ''KazemakaseTsukikageRan'', is a textbook example of this trope, particularly in that she attracts trouble like a magnet (or is attracted to it?) and has a {{Moe}} ChineseGirl following her around most of the time. However, she dresses and acts in a masculine way, despite looking quite feminine; if she were ever taken for a boy (oddly, no one makes this mistake), she would be bounced right over into {{Bifauxnen}} territory.
** People are often in the dark about her gender until she starts ''talking'', though.
* Mio from ''KOn'', complete with an all-girl fanclub, despite being painfully [[ShrinkingViolet shy]] and is the tallest person in her band.
* Futaba from ''{{Amanchu}}'' is rather withdrawn, but [[RomanticTwoGirlfriendship as things look now]], she may score cute Hikari as her girlfriend.
* Isuzu 'Rin' Sohma from ''FruitsBasket'' fits this trope to a T. She's tall, has waist length black hair, and severe trust issues courtesy of her emotionally AbusiveParents. Bonus points for being, according to WordOfGod, "the character in charge of sexiness."
* Hourai Touko from ''{{Aphorism}}''. Tall, beautiful, and Hinata's [[AloofBigBrother Aloof Big Sister]].
* Chifuyu Orimura from ''InfiniteStratos'' is the main character's tall, raven-haired sister. She's a stern and strict teacher who's also admired by most of her students in the academy.
** This trope may also describe one of the series' PatientChildhoodLoveInterest, Houki Shinonono - a Type B {{Tsundere}}...
* Kagari Ayaka from ''WitchCraftWorks'' has long black hair, and is at least a head taller than the protagonist and most of the other students at her school. Despite having an aloof and reserved personality she's the most popular person in her school and even has her own fan club.
* "Mona Lisa" Komabayashi and "Vampanella" Hoshino, membresses of the Sorority in ''OniisamaE''. Fukiko are Rei are both Tall ''Blond'' And Bishoujo.
** Mariko has the looks, but she's younger and more...troubled than the standard, but let's give her a few years. Her HotMom Hisako as well as Nanako's mom work whereas Kaoru has some traits despite being TheLadette most of the time. [[spoiler: And [[SheIsAllGrownUp the grown-up Nanako]] from the last episode of the anime resembles the archetype VERY strongly.]]
* AxisPowersHetalia plays with this trope a bit. [[NinjaMaid Hungary]] and [[EmotionlessGirl Belarus]] appear to be this at a glance (other than Belarus being blond), but while Hungary is too friendly for the aloofness, Belarus flips between being aloof and being HotBlooded. Vietnam, however, plays this straight.
** With the GenderFlip counterparts, female Sweden and Macau appear to play this straight.
* [[AffablyEvil Fasalina]] from ''GunXSword'' is one. She's tall ([[MayDecemberRomance especially compared to her love interest, Michael]]), has black hair, is ''very'' cool-headed and composed almost the entire show, and is very beautiful and [[EvilIsSexy seductive]] as well as respected by the people she's working with under [[BigBad The Claw]] to bring [[AssimilationPlot his]] [[DarkMessiah plans]] to fruition.
* Both [[TheStoic Kyouko]] and [[MostWritersAreWriters Izumi]] from ''{{Working}}'' are this. They're the straightest and seemingly only examples of this trope in the series. They're both noticeably tall (though in Izumi's case she's usually crawling on the ground due to her frail nature), dark-haired, aloof, and pretty.

She's spent her whole run fighting boys off, even after she came out, and trouble is not of short supply. Her girlfriend even fits the ShrinkingViolet (when it comes to their relationship) trope.
* Ziva David from Series/{{NCIS}} is a tall, beautiful woman who is a definite IceQueen to her teammates, except for [[LesYay Abby]]. She [[TookALevelInKindness mellowed down considerably]] to the rest of the team by season 7, however.
** Kensi Blye from Series/NCISLosAngeles -- and she's ''[[StatuesqueStunner taller]]'' than Ziva (She's 5'9, while Ziva's around 5'7 or 5'8).

* In the ''Heike Monogatari'', an account of the Genpei War, Tomoe Gozen, a female samurai of the Minamoto clan, is described as "especially beautiful, with white skin, long hair, and charming features". She was also recorded as being "a remarkably strong archer, and as a swordswoman she was [[OneManArmy a warrior worth a thousand]], ready to confront a demon or a god, mounted or on foot." She was one of the last warriors standing at the [[LastStand Battle of Awazu]], even outliving her master who was struck down by an arrow during the fight.

-->''"If you're out on a moonlit night\\
Be careful of them neighbourhood strays\\
Of a lady with long black hair\\
Tryin' to win you with her feminine ways"''
-->-- '''Cliff Richard''', "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LB5Is06XHA Devil Woman]]"
The AloofDarkHairedGirl is a fairly common character type combining both appearance and personality. She will generally be taller than her peers as well, more physically developed and their hair will be [[RapunzelHair very long]] and dark. Frequently, their skin will in contrast be [[RavenHairIvorySkin very pale.]] A key point in the idea behind their design is that they look older, more beautiful and meeting a certain classic ideal of Japanese feminine beauty combining maturity, a quiet attitude and a combination of long hair and very pale skin.
The AloofDarkHairedGirl will not merely ''look'' older than her peers, however. Frequently, she will also act more reserved and aloof and thus seem more mature, which may earn her some younger female admirers. It is not uncommon for them to be fond of teasing their peers or acting as their big sisters, though in all cases they will still maintain their dignity. Occasionally, she will even look [[IceQueen cold and distant]], but in this case she is still probably [[SugarAndIcePersonality a nice person]] deep down. Finally, it is essential to remember that despite the usual popularity of the girl in question, they do not seek it out. Instead, people simply gravitate towards them with admiration.
Compare OneeSama. May lead to EvenTheGirlsWantHer in the right sort of series.

!!Examples:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* ''FullMetalAlchemist'': Lust, who is tall, aloof, and [[TheVamp as deadly as she is beautiful]].
* Akira in ''Manga/{{ARIA}}'' (pictured). She has a number of admirers, mostly female, and behaves in a composed lady-like manner, in front of costumers, anyway
* Early example: Reika from ''Manga/AimForTheAce'' is the aloof, gorgeous and talented star player of the tennis theme that is the OneeSama for the newbies, and EvenTheGirlsWantHer.
* Azuma Hazuki in ''YamiToBoushiToHonNoTabibito'', for whom the term was created, with {{Yuri Fan}}s checking to see if anyone else fits the pattern.
* Tenjou Utena in ''RevolutionaryGirlUtena'', one of the early incarnations of this character type -- except for her hair, which is pink in the anime and strawberry-blonde in the manga.
** There's no doubt that she is perceived as this by her schoolmates (with all that EvenTheGirlsWantHer aura), but she isn't aloof at all. Juri from the same series is a much better example, although she has [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair orange]] OjouRinglets.
* Hinagiku Katsura of ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'' is something of an Utena {{Expy}} and also fits the trope. She is widely regarded as beautiful, athletic, brilliant, and kind complete with fangirls and fanboys alike. However, she doesn't have that many friends and is often aloof while at school to maintain her composed demeanor of Student Council President. Since meeting and developing feelings for Hayate she has been able to open up more and more, even able to show her weak and vulnerable side as the series progresses.
* Sakaki in ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' is a subversion - her apparent aloofness is really because she's a ShrinkingViolet, in spite of her physical appearance.
* Suzuka in ''OutlawStar'' is tall (almost six feet), has long black hair, the most attractive female in the main cast and even after joining Gene's crew she prefers to be left alone.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', for all its fanservice, has very few examples of females that genuinely fit this trope. [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Nemu Kurotsuchi]] is a willowy beauty with long dark hair, has an aloof personality, and is always calm, polite, and reserved. You still wouldn't want her as an enemy, though.
* Zakuro in ''TokyoMewMew'' is tall, a famous model and actress, and she has many admirers. She's also a loner who's the last member of the FiveManBand to be inntroduced.
* Tomoyo in ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'', who immediately gained fangirls upon transferring and received gifts from them. Also, compare how tall she is to the other girls by looking at how tall her life-size teddy bear outfit is.
* Maki Izumi from ''MartianSuccessorNadesico'' is something of a subversion of this. Physically speaking, she's quite attractive; however, she's always cracking [[IncrediblyLamePun bad puns]], has a habit for playing the ukulele (terribly), and nobody seems sexually interested in her while she never shows any sexual interest in anyone else. [[spoiler:At least, not until the episode where everyone's repressed personalities come to the forefront and her sexual side tries to convince both Akito and Akatsuki to have sex with her. Of course, this is also the episode where it's explained that she's repressed said sexual side because both of her fiancees died young and she's convinced if she opens up to anyone, they'll inevitably die as well and she'll just be alone and heartbroken again.]]
* Jun Fudo in ''DevilmanLady'' anime is a shy and timid supermodel.
* Ogasawara Sachiko in ''LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru'' is tall, has long [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack purple hair]], and is described as cold and aloof despite being universally admired throughout her school.
* Konoe Tsurugi in ''Anime/HanaukyoMaidTai'' is the tall and stern head of the Security department for the main character's MaidCorps. She has long black hair and in the reboot her Adjutant, Yashima has a crush on her.
* Ran, titular character of ''KazemakaseTsukikageRan'', is a textbook example of this trope, particularly in that she attracts trouble like a magnet (or is attracted to it?) and has a {{Moe}} ChineseGirl following her around most of the time. However, she dresses and acts in a masculine way, despite looking quite feminine; if she were ever taken for a boy (oddly, no one makes this mistake), she would be bounced right over into {{Bifauxnen}} territory.
** People are often in the dark about her gender until she starts ''talking'', though.
* Mio from ''KOn'', complete with an all-girl fanclub, despite being painfully [[ShrinkingViolet shy]] and is the tallest person in her band.
* Futaba from ''{{Amanchu}}'' is rather withdrawn, but [[RomanticTwoGirlfriendship as things look now]], she may score cute Hikari as her girlfriend.
* Isuzu 'Rin' Sohma from ''FruitsBasket'' fits this trope to a T. She's tall, has waist length black hair, and severe trust issues courtesy of her emotionally AbusiveParents. Bonus points for being, according to WordOfGod, "the character in charge of sexiness."
* Hourai Touko from ''{{Aphorism}}''. Tall, beautiful, and Hinata's [[AloofBigBrother Aloof Big Sister]].
* Chifuyu Orimura from ''InfiniteStratos'' is the main character's tall, raven-haired sister. She's a stern and strict teacher who's also admired by most of her students in the academy.
** This trope may also describe one of the series' PatientChildhoodLoveInterest, Houki Shinonono - a Type B {{Tsundere}}...
* Kagari Ayaka from ''WitchCraftWorks'' has long black hair, and is at least a head taller than the protagonist and most of the other students at her school. Despite having an aloof and reserved personality she's the most popular person in her school and even has her own fan club.
* "Mona Lisa" Komabayashi and "Vampanella" Hoshino, membresses of the Sorority in ''OniisamaE''. Fukiko are Rei are both Tall ''Blond'' And Bishoujo.
** Mariko has the looks, but she's younger and more...troubled than the standard, but let's give her a few years. Her HotMom Hisako as well as Nanako's mom work whereas Kaoru has some traits despite being TheLadette most of the time. [[spoiler: And [[SheIsAllGrownUp the grown-up Nanako]] from the last episode of the anime resembles the archetype VERY strongly.]]
* AxisPowersHetalia plays with this trope a bit. [[NinjaMaid Hungary]] and [[EmotionlessGirl Belarus]] appear to be this at a glance (other than Belarus being blond), but while Hungary is too friendly for the aloofness, Belarus flips between being aloof and being HotBlooded. Vietnam, however, plays this straight.
** With the GenderFlip counterparts, female Sweden and Macau appear to play this straight.
* [[AffablyEvil Fasalina]] from ''GunXSword'' is one. She's tall ([[MayDecemberRomance especially compared to her love interest, Michael]]), has black hair, is ''very'' cool-headed and composed almost the entire show, and is very beautiful and [[EvilIsSexy seductive]] as well as respected by the people she's working with under [[BigBad The Claw]] to bring [[AssimilationPlot his]] [[DarkMessiah plans]] to fruition.
* Both [[TheStoic Kyouko]] and [[MostWritersAreWriters Izumi]] from ''{{Working}}'' are this. They're the straightest and seemingly only examples of this trope in the series. They're both noticeably tall (though in Izumi's case she's usually crawling on the ground due to her frail nature), dark-haired, aloof, and pretty.

* China Sorrows from ''Literature/SkulduggeryPleasant'' is very much this trope: she's tall, beautiful, dark-haired, aloof, and can make men [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer and women]] fall head-over-heels in love with her.
