Like the DumbBlonde, the brunette varies quite a bit. They can bashfully hide behind their books or [[{{Meganekko}} glasses]], with their hair done in pigtails or a bun or they can boldly use their smarts for their ambitions. Whichever it is, their knowledge is real--if she's on your side, then you can always count on her smarts in a fix. She may be a HotLibrarian, a HotScientist, or even a WrenchWench. If so, her SesquipedalianLoquaciousness and/or TechnoBabble will [[GeekyTurnOn turn people on]]. And she always has nice, thick, brown locks. What they don't (necessarily) have is strength, like the SquishyWizard (who may be TheSmartGuy himself), as they care more about their mind than their body. That's what makes a BadassBookworm so interesting, a rare combination.
