History Main / DarkSkinnedBlond

* Gorobei in SamuraiSeven is black with stark white hair, despite not being the appropriate age for that hair color.

* Athena Glory from Manga/{{Aria}} is one of these, despite the fact that she has purple hair - she's a bit of a GeniusDitz, part CloudCuckooLander, and very much in line with the trope otherwise.

* Aisha Clan-Clan in ''OutlawStar'' is a DarkSkinnedBlond CatGirl...
* Liru in ''MagicalPokaan'' is a DarkSkinnedBlond Wolfgirl...

* [[http://ja.gram.pl/upl/blogi/98610/img_wpisy/2011_50/Yureka15326.jpg Phuan]] from {{Yureka}} definitely fits, though rather than being ditzy, she is hot blooded and violent to the point of giving off some feral vibes (in RealLife, she settles for being a deinquent).

* [[http://ja.gram.pl/upl/blogi/98610/img_wpisy/2012_31/Shaenando.jpg Shaenando]] from the manhwa Manhwa/DarkAir.
* Arisa from ''{{Imadoki}}''.
* Pirotess of ''RecordOfLodossWar'' in certain illustrations, while others make her hair seem more white than blonde.
* Tooru Amuro from DetectiveConan.

* Loni Anderson from ''WKRPInCincinatti''.

* Seems to be the most common coloring among the culture that raises the title character in Crawford Killian's ''Eyas''.

** Seoni, the iconic sorcerer.

** Seoni, the iconic sorceress.

* ''DragonQuestIX'': Stella, TheHero's ValleyGirl NinjaButterfly FairyCompanion. It's also possible to make a character with this trait.

* Jervis Tetch in ''WesternAnimation/{{Batman the Animated Series}}'', even before he dyed it "school-bus-yellow". Also known as the MadHatter he has unusually dark skin for an evil, British blond (as well as an accent that doesn't go with skin tone or teeth). Portrayed as an anti-social, lab-dwelling nerd; it's highly unlikely that he got out often enough to get a tan, either.

* The Angyar of Rokanon are an entire race/culture of these in Ursula K. Le Guin's Ekuman universe. The lower-caste Olgyior (of the same species) are pale-skinned brunettes.

* The entire Kuramitsu family of the ''TenchiMuyo'' series, perfect examples of TheDitz, most notably Mihoshi. One of the [[AllThereInTheManual supplemental novels]] makes it explicit that the Kuramitsu family are descendants of the pale red-headed Washuu. Though they all look like her (presumably long dead) ex-husband, with none of ''her'' own physical traits. And Mihoshi, for all her apparently stupidity, is actually [[GeniusDitz much smarter than she seems]].

* Ron in ''Manga/KingOfThorn'', the [[BlackDudeDiesFirst dark-skinned guy who didn't die first]], became this as a consequence of transformation sequence being interrupted.

* ''[[MidoriNoHibi MidoriDays]]'', in an attempt to portray all American females (and then some), brings you Lucy Winladd, though her tanned skin color most likely comes from being outdoors a lot.

* Katsura "Tiger Cat" Rio from ''Ring x Mama'', as the nickname implies she is just as wild as the one from example above.
* [[http://ja.gram.pl/upl/blogi/98610/img_wpisy/2012_31/Shaenando.jpg Shaenando]] from the manhwa [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manhwa/DarkAir Dark Air]].
* Mihoshi (and her grandfather) in ''TenchiMuyo''.

* Time-displaced Xman Shard, though it could also be because she's ethnically Australian Aborigine, who, in RL, occasionally manifested blonde hair as children due to a recessive gene. Her mutant nature could have allowed her to retain her hair color even as an adult. Her older brother. Lucas Bishop. though, possesses the usual-colored black hair of their ethnic group.

* Camille Leon from ''KimPossible'' (combined with BlondesAreEvli).

See also WhiteHairedPrettyGirl or WhiteHairedPrettyBoy, HairColors, and AmbiguouslyBrown.

** Also Storm. She is from Africa and [[WhiteHairedPrettyGirl her hair is white.]]

* Mirage from ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', although she's more literally a WhiteHairedPrettyGirl, rather than a blonde.

* Myuu from ''[[AtelierSeries Atelier Marie]]'', who has sandy white hair, blue eyes, and brown skin, plays this straight for foreign flavour. Also an example of WhiteHairedPrettyGirl, though she's arguably the least special character in the game (easy to recruit, pretty much the JackOfAllStats).

* From ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio Future'', we have Boogie (who is blonde) and Jazz ([[WhiteHairedPrettyGirl who has white hair]]).

* Archer in ''FateStayNight'', of the silver/white-haired variety, who, besides being of dubious origin, has another twist: [[spoiler:he's the adult self of TheHero Shiro, a pale ''redhead''. It has been mentioned that this is caused by the [[LockedIntoStrangeness strain on his body from tracing]], and overuse of magic and magical tampering in this series is known to change peoples' appearances. Sakura Matou should be black haired and blue eyed, like her sister, and Dark Sakura should be [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair purple haired]], yet it [[WhiteHairedPrettyGirl all goes white]] when she goes crazy.]]

* [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/princess_yue.jpg Princess Yue]] from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' is a [[WhiteHairedPrettyGirl white-haired]] [[FantasyCounterpartCulture Inuit]], due to PowerDyesYourHair.

* America and Australia in ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld''. In America's case, his darkening skin is caused by his increasing racial diversity (and he may be bleaching his hair).
** America's hair is naturally blond. He's had it even as a kid, as we can see in his flashback strips with England.

* "Sunglasses" from the {{Creamsicle}} meme, a [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation seeming]] trashy bimbo with orange-tinted fake tan and bleached blonde hair.

* Triela of ''GunslingerGirl'', a girl of uncertain origin. The manga strongly implied that she was from Eastern Europe early on, but recently revealed she was from Tunisia. At the end of the manga [[spoiler:her genetic daughter]] Speranza also has this coloring, and her paternity is left ambiguous.

** And, more recently, Patty from ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds''

* [[TheAdventuresOfWiglafAndMordred Wiglaf]] is this as part of the author using him to make fun of {{Purity Sue}}s. WordOfGod from one of the recent UStream sessions is that it was to show just how much time he spends outside [[ChronicHeroSyndrome saving people]], and that the fact there's Swedish surfers who look like Wiglaf does was her proof-of-concept.

* In the 1990s, [[{{Batman}} Batman and Robin]] were assisted in the Batcave not only by Alfred, but also by a [[TheSpeechless mute dwarf]] named "Harold". Harold had actually been a former lackey of the Penguin whom Batman had rescued, and he worked as a mechanic on the Batmobile. Harold had very light brown hair (most would call it "auburn") but also relatively dark skin (though this could be due merely to the "shadowy" way the Batcave was inked and colored). [[spoiler:He was later killed off during the ''Hush'' arc [[RedemptionEqualsDeath after confessing to Batman that he had betrayed him to help the eponymous villain.]]]]

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Tier Harribel.

* Infidel from ''AstroCity'' is a black man with a platinum blond beard. This is a side effect of the "Empyrean Fire" that gave him his powers; his archenemy the Samaritan's hair is snow white because of this as well. When he uses his powers, his hair turns an emerald green much like the Samaritan's turns sapphire blue.

* The entire Kuramitsu family of the ''TenchiMuyo'' series, perfect examples of TheDitz, most notably Mihoshi. One of the [[AllThereInTheManual supplemental novels]] makes it explicit that the Kuramitsu family are descendants of Washuu. Though they all look like her (presumably long dead) ex-husband, with none of ''her'' own physical traits. And Mihoshi, for all her apparently stupidity, is actually [[GeniusDitz much smarter than she seems]].

* Loran, the protagonist of ''Anime/TurnAGundam''. His hair is technically white, though.

* Triela of ''GunslingerGirl'', a girl of uncertain origin. The manga strongly implied that she was from Eastern Europe early on, but recently revealed she was from Tunisia. At the end of the manga [[spoiler:her genetic daughter]] Speranza also has this coloring.

* Ophelia Nigmos and Dina Caliente from ''TheSims 2''. This is also a common trait for NPC Townies, due to the way ''The Sims 2'' randomly generates genetics.

** Also, [[MagicalNegro Akafubu of Kibombo]] apparently has blond hair under his red afro-looking NiceHat, making him possibly the only non-Fire-Clan Mars Adept to not be a redhead.
* Ophelia Nigmos and Dina Caliente from ''TheSims 2''. This is also a common trait for NPC Townies

Cousin of the DarkSkinnedRedhead, opposite of RavenHairIvorySkin and the EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette. If the series is matching HairColors to personalities, the DSB is often a DumbBlonde if female (whereas the DSR is often hotheaded). The trope may have some relation to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganguro Ganguro]] fashion trend that took over Japan for part of [[TheNineties the 90s]], consisting of bleached hair and an artificial tan. There are also many DSB males, though there aren't really any discernible stereotypes associated with them in Japanese works.

* Angol Moa of ''KeroroGunsou''. It is revealed at one point that she modeled her [[MagicalGirl non-magical form]] after a local roughneck/implied ganguro girl who'd left quite an impression on her.

* Kaolla Su of ''LoveHina'', a girl from the island kingdom of Molmol, and her sister, Amalla Su. She's usually mistaken for Indian by other characters, but is in fact hails from an island somewhere on the Indian Ocean. Also, the blonde hair and other details show otherwise. She may also be partly based off of either the Californian or Australian surfer girl...and damn, they got it right!

* Malik Ishtar in ''Anime/YuGiOh''.

* Momo Adachi, the main character of ''PeachGirl''. In fact, she's often bullied because people mistake her for a Ganguro.

* Another white-haired dark-skinned race are the Mushroom Tribe from ''Urusei Yatsura: The Final Chapter''.

** Seiya's old rival Cassius is a VERY brutal, blood thirtsy version of this trope. [[spoiler: But when he dies in a ''[[TearJerker very]]'' [[TearJerker tragic]] HeroicSacrifice, he gets ''huge'' AlasPoorVillain vibes. ]]

* MidoriDays, in an attempt to portray all American females (and then some), bring you Lucy.

* Roy Focker from ''SuperDimensionFortressMacross'', perhaps to make him look obviously foreign in a show with some extreme examples of {{Mukokuseki}} (just look at Misa Hayase and try to convince yourself she's Japanese. Yeah.).
* Gupta from [[JungleWaItsumoHaleNochiGuu Hare+ Guu]] has his hair dyed blonde up till the tenth episode of the series. Asio could also be considered a toned down version of the trope. The series generally only seems to use dark skin to imply someone is originally from or a descendant of someone not from the city.

* ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' has Yasamura Mei, a manga-only character. She's a ganguro girl (with less gaudy clothing choices), so her blonde hair and tan are fake.

* Patti Mayonnaise from ''{{Doug}}''. Though this is a side-effect of the series' AmazingTechnicolorPopulation, more than anything else.

* This trope is becoming more and more common amongst women in contemporary North America and Western Europe due to the fact that [[EveryoneLovesBlondes blonde hair]] and [[ButNotTooWhite tanned skin]] have simultaneously become the new standards of physical attractiveness. Many of these women are actually brunettes who dye their hair blonde, also known as "Bottle Blondes" or "Bleach Blondes".
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanesians Melanesians]] are known for this phenotype, in addition to wider noses and curly-kinky hair -- early European settlers actually thought they were African refugees who interbred with white men somewhere along the way, hence the name Melanesian. Then DNA tests revealed that it is in fact a local mutation, meaning that blonde hair has evolved at least twice in human history.

** Now, at least. She used to be fairly pale and had red hair.
* It is not uncommon for Algerian people (especially Kabyles) to have blonde hair. Heck, some of them even have blue eyes! It comes from Migration Period, when lots of North European and Scandinavian barbarian tribes (Vandals for example) settle in North Africa.

* HulkHogan, brother?
* Rikishi (although, to be sure, the man was [[BigFun so huge]] that it was hard to notice his hair color)?

* Creator/SarahMichelleGellar, at least in her portrayal of Buffy Summers on ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. Ironically, Gellar's really more of a, EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette (check out ''CruelIntentions'', where her hair is so dark in some shots that it almost looks black), but they had to make her look more like Kristy Swanson, who originated the role of Buffy in the 1992 film and is more of a straight example of this trope.

* {{Shakira}}, but her tan has lessened and she is paler now, also a case of DyeHard.
* Takahashi Ai of HelloProject in the video for "Only You" due to DyeHard

* Blonde hair is very common among Arabs, especially around Jordan and Syria. Those with blonde hair are often a bit paler and are considered extremely attractive regardless of gender.
