It's funny to me as a writer because a red-headed heroine is supposed to be a frowned-upon cliche--but as a redhead myself (though mine has gotten darker as I've gotten older; I suppose it's just auburn now), I feel like I should have a free pass to write them. :) I still remember being in a high school English class and having my teacher talk about literary tropes and symbols, and how red hair was sign of a strong heroine (he used Willow as his example). I felt so special.Rosalynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13533288555696717340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-41035205529887699912015-04-29T10:13:25.505-07:002015-04-29T10:13:25.505-07:00Great list, I love your idea !

I often don't notice the colour of a character's hair unless it's quite prominently pointed out in the story (Ron, Anne, Pippi and Scarlet, for example). I love your list though. I read about a book (called RED, I think) about a town where being a red head is all the rage and all-important. It sounded kind of fun.
