The caption says she does, but they look pretty brown or hazel. Not to mention the quality is iffy. Before this, the rather pink-haired Vanille was the page image. It should be easy to find a good image of a green-eyed redhead.

Mara Jade?

[up][up]I'd be cautous about using Agatha. Depending on Art Evolution, her hair varies between more blonde and more red.

What's precedent ever done for us?

All of those are really good at showing the red hair, but not so good about showing the Green Eyes

Painfully easy to get one of these at the Boorus. This is a pretty wide-ranging trope though, I'm hesitant of using anime images. I figured a Real Life image would be best?

If I could I would have already.

Dumb GIS-ing to the rescue.

Otherwise I'm all for the Kim Possible one.

Kim Possible works especially because she fits the character type perfectly.

Yep. She also has the advantage of more cartoony characters - larger eyes mean the colour is more easily visible.

Evidently Western Animation is very fond of this trope.

Wow... If our criteria are merely redhead and visible green eyes, plenty will find valid images. It's hard for me to decide whether one is more illustrative than the other.

Of course we can chuck it in the crowner, but is there any personality trait or something this trope is related with? I can only find vague links at the descriptions.

By the way, liked the Kelly Chambers one.

^^ No required personality traits that I can see; it's mostly "this is a fairly unusual combination in real life that for some reason shows up a lot in fiction."

Isn't Spiderman's Mary Jane canonically a green-eyed redhead?

She is. I was having some difficulty finding good pictures, though.

No, there's a personality type in there.

What's more, it is also often associated with a particular character archetype: a passionate, yet sensible (female) Love Interest for The Hero.

That's not something easily picturable, nor is it required by the trope. I don't think it's really necessary to show it.

I think the intention was not to exclude examples that don't fit the personality type, but to give Bonus Points to those that do.

Shayera fits both angles well, and has good, vivid green eyes in that pic.
