After getting no objections in the forums, I added Otherworldly Technicolour Hair as a supertrope, since both tropes have the same connotations, with Mystical White Hair focusing on one specific unnatural hair colour.

This was in the comics folder. Does anyone familiar with the Marvel 1602 series know which character might be meant?

Virginia Dare, first child (from English parentage) born in the New World. Possesses eerie white/silver hair (despite having dark-haired parents) and ability of shapeshifting.

Does it count as this trope if the example's brand of mysticalness is not unique to them? E.g. the Rozen Maiden examples are not the only animated dolls in the work, and the others have much more realistic hair colors (e.g. blonde and brown).

I think not — is there anything else that would make you suppose that the white hair is intended to suggest otherliness, such as someone saying so in or out of universe?

Okay...now that White-Haired Pretty Boy has been changed to White Hair, Black Heart, should we use this page as an example for heroic/non-villainous characters with white hair?

I concur, I suggest that we make White-Haired Pretty Boy link to a page linking to White Hair, Black Heart and White-Haired Pretty Girl explaining to change the link to whatever it refers to eventually again redirecting White-Haired Pretty Boy to the new trope, we also will need a gender neutral title

Now that both pages are made into gender-neutral, I suppose there would be overlaps between each tropes? Since being magical and villainous isn't exactly mutually exclusive...

Way too many zero context examples on this trope. I've elaborated on the ones that I could but leaving the rest on the page is just gonna encourage more zero context examples I'm moving them here. Two things to keep in mind when add or re-adding examples for this trope.

1) Be specific about the hair color. Not all of these characters have just white hair. Often times it's silver, grey, platinum blonde etc...

2) white hair rarely appears on mudane characters. Often times these characters' hair is turned white, or they are of a magical or inhuman origin. Mention those traits when appropriate.

So does this apply to any female character with white hair, or just white-haired girls with magical powers?

It actually applies to any female character who happens to have white hair - she need not have magical powers, but it helps.

Is it wrong that instead of "hair" in the image caption I read "pair"?

I didn't quite have the same thought process, but yeah, 'those' are pretty...striking in the pic. XD
