** ''Series/PowerRangersTimeForce'' has the [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair green-haired]] RubberForeheadAlien Green Ranger. Make of that what you will.

** One notable aversion is Candice of Snowpoint City. She's an ice gym leader, but her personality is much more outgoing like a fire trainer would be. She lampshades it after her battle.

* The film version of Sauron (before he lost the ring) may deserve some blame, but the title character of the VideoGame/{{Overlord}} series looks exactly like what you'd expect. Glowing eyes, shrouded face, spiky plate armour, the works.\\\

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':

** Tsuyu Asui has the powers of a frog. To correspond with this her hair is long and tied into a bow. When viewed from the back it resembles a leaping frog.

* Franchise/{{Batman}}:
** Arnold Wesker of the composite Batman villain Ventriloquist and Scarface believes that his dummy is behind his actions (which may be true) and is utterly submissive to the commands of Scarface. His appearance is that of a thin, bald, older man with glasses that hide his face that emphasizes his physical and mental weakness to Scarface (or for creating the personality of Scarface).
* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'':
** Reed Richards was tall and thin even before those cosmic rays turned him into a RubberMan.

* Erika from ''Anime/HeartCatchPrettyCure'' has hair that looks like ocean waves, [[MakingASplash fittingly enough]].

* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'': A good number of playable characters combine bright red hair -and often a fiery temper- with pyrokinetic magic. Examples include: The Prince of Cannock (''[[VideoGame/DragonQuestII DQII]]''), the Female Mage (''[[VideoGame/DragonQuestIII DQIII]]''), Ashlynn (''[[VideoGame/DragonQuestVI DQVI]]''), Maribel (''[[VideoGame/DragonQuestVII DQVII]]'') and Jessica (''[[VideoGame/DragonQuestVIII DQVIII]]'').
* In ''{{VideoGame/Plantasia}}'', beetles have green shells resembling military helmets, and are extremely tough bugs that need multiple sprays with the pest killer before they go down.

* The ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' franchise in general LOVES this trope.

* The students in ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' (Besides some standouts) will usually devote their lives to their specific skill, meaning they naturally fit the part of "Ultimate/Super Highschool Level X" in every possible way. Sometimes their effort to fashion themselves into their specific roll can reveal some interesting HiddenDepths.

*** What's even more baffling about Gyarados is that in the visual media, like the anime, it is very rarely if ever shown actually flying, and is more often portrayed as being completely unable to fly. It's Flying-typing is obviously referencing the myth it's based on, but it makes no sense in-universe.

* Nezu from ''Manga/{{AKIRA}}'' is [[spoiler:TheMole]] and [[MeaningfulName his name means "rat"]]. He has squinty eyes and an overbite and his nose has a generally rat-like appearance.
* Like Michiru above, Erika from ''Anime/HeartCatchPrettyCure'' has hair that looks like ocean waves, [[MakingASplash fittingly enough]].
* The ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' franchise in general LOVES this trope.
** The girls who gain [[PlayingWithFire fire powers]], like Elena, Rin, Towa, and Akane, just happen to born with bright red or blonde hair that is spiky and (except for Towa) [[FieryRedhead fiery tempers]].
** The girls who gain water or ice powers, like Erika, Minami, Reika, Rikka, and Chiyu, naturally have long wavy blue hair and [[ShyBlueHairedGirl reserved, cool personalities]].
** The girls who gain [[StarPower star]] or [[{{Lunacy}} moon]] powers, like Yuri, Madoka, and Iona, naturally have dark purple hair and [[AloofDarkHairedGirl aloof, mysterious personalities]].
** The girls who gain [[HeartBeatDown love powers]], like Megumi, Nozomi, Miyuki, and Mana, are born with dark pink hair and eyes and have kind, caring personalities.
** The girls who gain [[LightEmUp light powers]] or [[ShockAndAwe electricity powers]], like Urara, Itsuki, Yayoi, Kirara, and Hinata, usually have brown/dirty blonde hair and eyes that turn bright blonde when transformed and bright, cheerful personalities.

* If you showed someone a cast shot of ''[[Anime/AnoHanaTheFlowerWeSawThatDay Ano Hana]]'' and told them that one of the characters was a ghost, they probably wouldn't have any trouble figuring out which one it is: It's obviously the girl with the pale skin, silver hair, and white sun dress. Naturally, she looked like that even when she was alive.
* Himemaru, from the HaremComedy manga ''Manga/RappiRangai'', is a ninja who specializes in traps, both setting them up, and immobilizing opponents with ropes. He also has a ''very'' feminine appearance. That is, he's a [[UnsettlingGenderReveal trap]] who works with traps. It seems he was always like that, as he mentioned having "the most beautiful face in [his] village". Even his own father was shocked when he realized how much Himemaru looks like his mother.
* Onpu Segawa from ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi''. She is the idol girl and musical themed. Her head has the shape of a Music Note due to the help of her side ponytail. "Onpu" means "musical note".
* Several characters from ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' have an appearance that fits in with their powers. For example, [[ShockAndAwe Denki Kaminari]] has a lightning bolt-like streak on his hair, Kyoka Jiro (whose power allows her to increase the volume of her heartbeat and transmit it to create great blasts) has white cardiac flatlines streaks on hers, and Shoto Todoroki can control [[ComboPlatterPowers both ice and fire]], with his white-haired right side able to control the former and his red-haired left side able to control the latter.

** A lot of what Crafty wears as an adult is oversized — in particular, his lab coat, his gloves, and his boots. Together with his reedy physique, his design is rife with a cartoonish exaggeration that's rarely seen from anyone else. It's a perfect fit for someone who wants to make his audience laugh first and foremost.

** A lot of what Crafty wears as an adult is oversized -- in particular, his lab coat, his gloves, and his boots. It all comes together to help exaggerate his MadScientist persona that much further. It also distracts somewhat from his reedy build, which was much more prominent and a bit more severe in his youth -- when his personal issues were at their worst.

** Crafty's lab coat has an impressively large high collar and is ''very'' long, with much of it trailing behind him like a cape. It appears that he's evoking an EvilOverlord design through the MadScientist aesthetic, to make him seem more impressive as a villain. As a bonus, he lives in a giant, dark castle to reinforce the image.

* While there are exceptions to the rule and no one's "interpretation" is perfect, generally you can get some idea of a person's personality from their face. This is theorized to be because a person's personality and physical features are actually linked somehow, with possibly things like hormones and the same genes effecting both specific facial features and personality traits. We evolved to pick up on this. That said, there are plenty of psychopaths, manipulators, rapists, liars, and other dangerous or unpleasant people that look and act like some combination of trustworthy, nice, attractive, average, or friendly, so it's not wise to gullibly trust people just because they happen to look a certain way.

* Some of the cats in ''The Mouse Butcher'' by Creator/DickKingSmith, about a society of cats living on an island after all the humans left. Giglamps, who used to be the doctor's cat and has taken the role of TheSmartGuy has markings around his eyes that resemble [[SmartPeopleWearGlasses glasses]], and the vicarage cat is black with white fur around his collar.

* Rosemary Walten provides a more mundane example in ''WebOriginal/TheWaltenFiles'', bearing a notable resemblance to Sha, whose animatronic she ultimately ends up possessing. Her EightiesHair is shaped similarly to Sha's TuftOfHeadFur, and she is portrayed wearing a puffy green sweater reminiscent of sheep's wool. ''Relocate Project'' drives this home by having Sha's sprite repeately glitch into Rosemary's (both sharing an identical silhouette) shortly before revealing her dismemberment at Bon's hands, and her being stuffed inside the aforementioned Sha animatronic.
