I agree; This is generally going to a trope about human hair styles and an illustration of this hair on a human would be good. Especially when the image deliberately contrasts it with Princess Curls on a Horse.
This has the potential to be confusing. There should be a better example.

This is what happens when all decisions are decreed by the circle jerk of people who spend all their time in the forums instead of enabling the full audience of the page to chime in. If you put an actual poll on this page "should this image be ponies" and leave it up for a few months, it would be 95% of people against. If you say "hey, anyone wanna click over to an agonizing forum thread to debate this" well you're gonna hear from about 6 people total and get decisions like this.
Hey look, the discussion page ATTACHED TO THE TROPE PAGE has 3 votes against, 0 votes for. Maybe that should have more weight than Thread In A Forum The Actual Users Don't Use.
I'll say it again. Hermione isn't quirky. In a castle full of quirky people, she is the dull sensible, mainstream one.

I'd argue it should be allowed to stay because she does have a few odd quirks that fits into the "nerdy girl frizz" archetype (which lacking its own trope page mostly fits here). I'm not a massive HP fan, but S.P.E.W. comes immediately to mind as a reason that she might be seen as at least a slightly quirky granola girl even if her approach in doing so is more grounded than cuckoolander.

I feel like the image isn't really suited... it might cause confusion with the two different hairstyles, and I think an actual human would look better than a mane.
