The Cowboy is the archetypical character of the Western, perhaps the quintessential American hero. (To those of other countries, the cowboy may as well be the archetype of Americans in general, because Americans Are Cowboys.) In the simplest terms, a "cowboy" is someone whose primary job is tending a herd of cattle on a ranch. In more general terms, it can be any character that has the appearance and mannerisms of a cowboy. Thus, the term "cowboy" is often used as an inclusive term for any Western characters, regardless of whether they are actually ranchers or not. Subtypes include: Working Cowboy: A cowboy who actually has a job herding cattle and spends the majority of his time doing that job. Working cowboys tend to have more worn clothing, scruffier appearances and stronger odors than other types of cowboys. Stories about working cowboys usually focus on the nitty-gritty of ranch work and the dangers of the trail, culminating in the Cattle Drive, with a herd of cattle being led across often hazardous terrain to market. A common plotline is for the working cowboy to be a nice fellow at heart, but have his rough appearance attract a woman because All Girls Want Bad Boys. Expect the parents to initially object, despite older ranch hands, perhaps even the foreman, vouching for the young cowboy's good nature. The common possessions of a Working Cowboy include: a saddle, a saddle blanket, a rope, some saddle bags and whatever personals he can fit in them (including his hat), as well as a rifle and a six-shooter. If he has his own horse he is well off (relatively) for a cowhand. Drifter Cowboy: Largely similar to the Working Cowboy, but he has no set ranch that he's attached to. He instead wanders semi-nomadically between ranches and towns, looking for work, staying when he finds it, and moving on once it dries up. Due to having no strong ties to his current workplace, he may be looked on with distrust and remain at a distance from other characters. Rodeo Rider: This fellow is a working cowboy on the off-season, but whenever there's a rodeo, he's off to show off his riding and roping skills. Rodeo riders tend to be more boastful and concerned with winning trophies than other cowboys. Stories about rodeo riders often play up the difficulties their nomadic lifestyle causes with relationships. Singing Cowboy: A cowboy who sings as his primary avocation. While it's true that some musical talent was always appreciated on the range, the singing cowboy was really a product of Hollywood. The standard formula for B-movies included at least one musical number, and a singing cowboy could slip one right in naturally while saving the ranch. "Saving the ranch" is the number one plotline for singing cowboy stories, closely followed by "clean up the lawless town." Top singing cowboys included Roy Rogers and Gene Autry, but even John Wayne was tested as one in an early movie! Now a Dead Horse Trope; nowadays if you see a singer in a cowboy hat, he's just a Country-Western musician. Philosopher Cowboy: This is The Smart Guy who decides he prefers honest work amid the outdoors rather than the City Life. Plutarch was a big read for literate cowboys, along with the Bible, parts of Shakespeare and whatever small books would fit in a saddlebag. May be called upon to say a few words on portentous occasions. Can come very close to the Warrior Poet. Lone Cowboy/Ranch Owner: This is the fellow who is running his own ranch often by himself on a rawhide (Cowboy shoestrings = rawhide) budget, perhaps aided by an old Indian friend or his young wife. Expect him to be the target of the Big Ranches who see him as easy prey. (He's the Cowboy equivalent of the Determined Homesteader.) Considered a good male love interest for Western-themed romance novels. Dude Ranch Cowboy: Similar to the working cowboy, but whose job is to give "dudes" (tourists) a taste of The Theme Park Version of ranch life. Generally more careful of his appearance than the working cowboy, many in fiction being ruggedly handsome. Often has to rescue a tenderfoot who is Too Dumb to Live, and can be the Temporary Love Interest for a female character. More serious-minded cowboys may be embarrassed by having to work on a dude ranch. Ram Ranch Cowboy: Take a wild guess. Cowgirl: The Distaff Counterpart of the Cowboy. Generally a Plucky Girl in Western garb, who can ride and shoot as well as any man (except the protagonist), but who is seldom seen doing any of the filthier ranch chores. In fiction, almost always the love interest for the protagonist, or the young man the protagonist is helping this week. May be a plentiful source of titillation (though to be fair, cowboys can be that too.) and can overlap with Farmer's Daughter. Not to be confused with females who are a Little Bit Beastly and bovine-based, or the result of mixing Cute Monster Girl and Our Minotaurs Are Different. Of course, nothing's stopping you from making a cow-girl a cowgirl, or vice versa. Geography plays an important role in determining cowboy characters. On the plains, larger ranches based around the water holes are to be expected with a significant number of Working Cowboys, with a scattering of Rodeo Riders. In the mountains expect smaller ranches, with the result of more Lone Cowboys and Philosopher Cowboys (they like smaller operations where their intellect can be appreciated), and the ranches are more open to a Drifter Cowboy. In the deserts and badlands, expect cowboys to be closer to the Indians, with two or three characters referred to as Apache, or raised by Apache. A lot more emphasis is placed on water scarcity, similar to the mountains in character composition, but expect more outlaws, both as rustlers and among the legitimate Working Cowboys. This is a land for hard men, and if you do the work people don't ask questions. Singing Cowboys might be anywhere, but are less likely in the Badlands, although they appear there too, sometimes as a way of showing the softer side of men. In fiction, black cowboys are much less common than they were in Real Life. After The American Civil War, a lot of freed slaves came west to make a living away from their former masters and the new "sharecropping" paradigm. Only in relatively recent times, however, has it become customary for visual media to reflect this. Similarly, in fiction, gay cowboys are relatively uncommon, despite the fact that historians agree that many cowboys were gay men who moved from cities to ranches in order to escape persecution. (Even though the rural areas associated with cowboys are expected to be more politically conservative, and therefore less accepting of open homosexuality). Mexican and Mexican-American cowboys, called Vaqueros, tend to fare better in media presentations, known for their riding and roping skills. Vaqueros are in fact the precursors to what we consider cowboys. It's from them that we get the equipment and the word "rodeo" and many of the events included in it, after all. This used to be mixed with unfortunate negative stereotypes, however. Many early vaqueros were Amerindians who worked in missions in colonial New Spain. Vaquero was anglicized as "buckaroo," which became a term for cowboys in the Great Basin and California. The Australian term for this profession is "Jackaroo", with "Jillaroo" for women (although there is a Rugby League team called the North Queensland Cowboys). |

Have Gun – Will Travel often featured cowboys as guest characters. In one particularly memorable episode, Paladin (Richard Boone) befriends a lone cowboy who happens to be Native American—then accepts a fee from a big spread rancher to force the small rancher to sell his land. Paladin had spotted that metal deposits on the land were slowly poisoning the cattle, making the spread worthless for ranching. | |

Cowboy Andy from the Cowboy Bebop episode "Cowboy Funk" is a bounty hunter (called "Space Cowboys" In-Universe) with a cowboy theme, including using a horse for locomotion and carrying a six-shooter.

Marvel Universe: The Two-Gun Kid stands out from the other Western characters Marvel has featured (the Rawhide Kid, Gunhawk, etc.) in that he wears a mask and has a Secret Identity rather than merely a colorful nickname. He also has a far wider scope of adventures: he has time-traveled to the modern era twice and is a reserve Avenger. He was retconned as being the inspiration for the Angel (he tells Dr. Halloway, who he knew will become the Angel, about the coming age of superheroes). The Angel was among the first Golden Age Marvel characters, so the Two-Gun Kid is by extension the first masked hero and the foundation of the era of superheroes with secret identities. Since he's a lawyer by profession and takes on a cowboy persona to fight crime, he falls mostly into the category of the Philosopher Cowboy (though more likely to quote Jefferson or Washington than Plutarch or Aristotle). "Le Cowboy" of Le Heroes des Paris is a French appropriation of American stereotypes, in homage to The Wild West. |

Mr. Benn: In "Cowboy", Mr. Benn was originally going to watch a cowboy film, but the queue outside the cinema was so dreadfully long, he decided instead to be a cowboy. You wouldn't expect this adventure would turn into a game of hide-and-seek with him and the Indians. The Indian team would seek Mr. Benn, and the cowboy team would seek one of the Indians, who turned out to be hiding at the top of their totem pole where no one else would think to look. If not for Mr. Benn's ingenuity, the cowboys would have lost that game, as they already had done so many times before. | |

The DCU: Terra-Man, a Superman villain, has a cowboy theme, but all of his equipment is actually extremely high-tech alien gear, and his (flying) horse has wings. Greg Saunders, the first Vigilante, is a singing cowboy-turned-masked crimefighter. |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Richie Merced from Yu-Gi-Oh! R uses a deck with this theme. The theme is also very prevalent in the Crashtown arc of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, tending to lean towards the outlaw side. |

Disco Elysium manages to romanticize and deconstruct the concept simultaneously. Talk to Paledriver, and she will sing you a tragic ballad of a woman who loves a boiadero (the local equivalent), and waits for him while he drives cattle, and when he returns, she asks him to marry her. He promptly strangles her and heads off for the wild plains again. Paledriver then calls the woman a stupid girl, and claims that she should have known that nothing, even love, will ever tie down the heart of a boiadero. | |

The main character of May I Please Enter? is, at the very least, dressed completely in cowboy-clothing and spends his time Walking the Earth, though whether or not he's a "real" cowboy is left ambiguous. | |

Applejack from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic lassos wayward critters, herds stampeding cattle, eagerly gets into fights, runs the family farm, enters into rodeos, and is almost never caught without her hat. The only thing she doesn't do is ride horses, for obvious reasons. Overall, she's probably the Working Cowgirl. Braeburn, her cousin, acts like a good old-fashioned eager cowpoke. Aside from being a farmer, what with the cows probably not appreciating getting poked. |

It's called "the Weird West", so of course you can expect to see pretty much every version of the Cowboy on the list in Deadlands... well, except for the Singing Cowboy; guys like that are likely to get mugged, shot, and then shot again for good measure. | |

The Astro City story "Confessions" features a cowboy-themed supervillain named "The Gunslinger", though interestingly he is half-American and half-Vietnamese, his father having been a soldier during the Vietnam War whose murder the Gunslinger is avenging by killing the corrupt unit who had killed him. In addition to the cowboy-themed outfit, he also has a pair of laser pistols and rocket cowboy boots. | |
