Compare with GirlishPigtails, which can sometime be combined with this trope in the case of a LittleMissBadass. This trope can sometimes, but not always, act as a DistaffCounterpart to BraidsOfBarbarism.

* ''[[RanmaOneHalf Ranma 1/2]]'''s title character, naturally, especially near the beginning of the manga when the braid was much longer and actually ''looked'' like a knotted braid, rather than the "three little circles and a wispy end" stylized shape it was reduced to later on. Of course, it didn't take long for the ActionGirl to be revealed as actually a ''man'', and [=s/he=] wore [=his/her=] hair in a ponytail in flashbacks, but by then [[EstablishingCharacterMoment the first impression had long been made]].
