History Main / HairAntennae

* From ''TheOrderOfTheStick'', Elan the bard, his twin brother Nale, and [[spoiler:their father Tarquin]] all have them.

* ''{{Clannad}}'': Nagisa Furukawa, her dad [[HotDad Akio]], and her mom [[HotMom Sanae]] (who has THREE strands of hair, pictured above); seems to run in the family. [[spoiler: Ushio, Tomoya and Nagisa's daughter]] did not inherit the trait though.

* From ''{{The Order of the Stick]]'', Elan the bard, his twin brother Nale, and [[spoiler:their father Tarquin]] all have them.

!!Examples:

[[AC:{{Anime and Manga}}]]
* Anything by Ken Akamatsu, like Naru of ''LoveHina''. Also appears in ''MahouSenseiNegima'' and ''AI Love you''.
** Considering Mitsune "Kitsune" Konno also has them, wouldn't they also be called ''mantennae'' as well?

*** Saotome Haruna's from ''MahouSenseiNegima'' doubles as "Love Detector".

** Also ''{{Zombie Loan}}'''s Shito, with an omake of these two making some sort of friendship based on their antennae.

* Momo in ''{{Manabi Straight}}'' has antennae (and hair) long enough some fans affectionately nicknamed her [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=301734 "Cockroach-tan"]].
* ''VisionOfEscaflowne'': Hitomi Kanzaki (though Emo!Hitomi from TheMovie doesn't have them)
** She has them as a child and in a more recent flashback. Apparently they symbolize her sunny disposition that a bad case of teenager's angst took away.
* Yume in the first SomedaysDreamers. They even had an episode where it played a role in the plot. This trouper did not even noticed until that episode.
* Sakura from ''CardCaptorSakura.''
* Azuma from ''YakitateJapan'' has these with his hairband on.

** Kimblee, too, although as the resident PsychoForHire MadBomber, he doesn't fit the personality type at all.
* Yuri aka Angel Lily from ''WeddingPeach'' has hair like this, although she doesn't fit the ditzy personality part of the description.
* Rei from ''HighschoolOfTheDead'' has two antennae.

[[AC:{{Comics}}]]
* [[JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac Johnny C]], after he [[spoiler:comes back from hell and most of his hair falls out]]. Literally, all he has left is hair antennae. He's...[[AxCrazy not]] [[PsychopathicManchild like]] [[SerialKiller most]] [[KnifeNut other]] [[NietzscheWannabe examples...]]
* [[OnlySaneMan Filemon]] from MortadeloYFilemon. [[PrematurelyBald That's all the hair he has]].
* Monroe, a character from a long-running comic series in MadMagazine, has hair like this, with the rest of his hair buzzed.

* Pallo from Lions Tigers and Bears. He has three coming out of his mane.

[[AC:{{Video Games}}]]
* ''KingdomHearts'': Larxene with a backwards variant. Unlike most of these examples, she's a {{Psycho Electro}}.
* ApolloJustice, though they're not natural and he carefully gels them every morning.
** The form of his antennae are more like a double IdiotHair, though, with both strands pointing straight up without making a curve.
* ''{{Vagrant Story}}'': Ashley Riot's antenna are both out of control and somewhat cool looking. This troper cannot say that antenna hair is a good idea, but that Ashley Riot wouldn't look the same without them.
* ''{{Final Fantasy X}}'': Seymour. Oh my dear God, Seymour--that is the craziest hair we have ever seen.

* Tails from SonicTheHedgehog has grown a little one of these.
* ''{{Disgaea}}'': Laharl uses it to cheat his height.
** [[spoiler: Even when he's turned into a Prinny, he keeps them. Helps identify him, although the laugh helps.]]

[[AC:{{Webcomics}}]]
* HumanAliens in ''IWasKidnappedByLesbianPiratesFromOuterSpace''
* [[ElGoonishShive Grace]]. [[spoiler: They actually are antennae.]]
** Interestingly enough, as large as they are, they get [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics downright huge]] in her [[GenderBender male form]]
* In ''TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob,'' Princess Voluptua is a giant insect disguised as a woman. [[MorphicResonance Consequently,]] her eyebrows arch up high above her head, resembling antennae.
* ''AMiracleOfScience'': Dr. Haas. Definitely not the usual personality type, being a dead-serious MadScientist with ScaryShinyGlasses. (And the antennae are used as one of the two main visual signifiers of his insanity; they instantly gain their ability to defy gravity when he's infected with SRMD.)

[[AC:WebOriginal]]

[[AC:{{Western Animation}}]]

* {{Wakfu}}'s Noximilien [[BigBad "Nox"]] Coxen had these before [[StartOfDarkness he went crazy]].

<<|HairTropes|>>

* ''KingdomHearts'': Larxene (Unlike most of the trope, she's a {{Psycho Electro}})
