This figure is either metaphorically or literally dead, dressed in pale clothing that marks them as having one foot on the Other Side. While this character is rarely a classical ghost (see Cute Ghost Girl or Bedsheet Ghost for more typical ghost depictions), they are symbolically associated with death, often being stuck in the past. It may be difficult to determine if they are dead or alive, or if they are human or spirit. Despite Light Is Good and White Is Pure, these ethereal characters may tend towards a more ambiguous morality. If the dress is stained with blood, better watch out. Compare Mystical White Hair, Prophet Eyes, and Psychic Powers, which have similar connotations of "a connection to the otherworldly" for a character. Can overlap with Gold and White Are Divine if the otherworldliness is specifically heavenly or godly in nature. Contrast White Shirt of Death, where dressing in white foreshadows an imminent death. In this trope, the white-clothed character has already died, at least metaphorically. Also Undead Barefooter, Magical Barefooter or any other variation, because characters with this kind of dress sometimes ditch footwear. White Is Pure is a positive version as it means the spirit is free of sin and friendly. This trope has its origins in the legend of the White Lady, a figure in ghost stories throughout the world associated with loss of a loved one or a sense of purity before death. Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl and Yuki Onna are similar legends from Eastern media. Supertrope to Wight in a Wedding Dress. Note: white clothing has many different meanings. This is a specific one, and examples should explain the symbolism associated with the character. See Tropes in White for other possible uses of white color symbolism. |

Bleach: Rukia Kuchiki's Zanpakutou, Sode no Shirayuki, is a pure white blade and possesses powers over snow and ice. Rukia's sword and power is based on the legend of the yuki-onna, the ghostly 'snow woman'. Her Bankai activation transforms her into the snow-woman of legend: her hair becomes white, her skin icy, and her dress snow-white. The world around her transforms into one of snow and ice, and she becomes a detached, mystical being that is possessed by an otherworldly beauty. In anime filler, her Zanpakuto Spirit is introduced long before her Bankai reveal and acts as foreshadowing: the spirit is a woman with white hair, very pale skin, and a snow-white kimono; she is quiet, well-mannered even when rebelling, is portrayed in a detached, mystical manner, and also possessed by an otherworldly beauty. Any female Arrancar who wears a white dress or robe would also qualify. | |

Her character is utterly defined by her obsession with the man who left her at the altar, and she metaphorically died that day, becoming old, bitter, and refusing to grow. | |

Dark Souls: In a game series that centers around inevitable death and undesirable immortality, these tend to crop up. Standouts include Rhea of Thoroland, Gwynevere, Dusk and Gwyndolin from the first game, Nashadra from the second, and Irina of Carim from the third (with Filianore from the DLC). All of these characters are mystical, ghostly, and are seen pursuing a fleeting and hopeless quest before meeting a vile fate, though at least one outs herself as a deadly enemy beforehand. | |

Many adaptations of Hamlet depict Ophelia (yep, that one) wearing a flowing white gown after she loses her mind from grief, highlighting both her innocence and how she's mentally 'checked out' of the world following her Trauma Conga Line, including her father being accidentally murdered by the man she loves. She wanders around the countryside, singing and gathering flowers, and eventually drowns; it's strongly implied it may have been deliberate. | |

An unusual male example occurs in Tales From the SMP, where many mysterious incarnations of Karl Jacobs are found to be wandering the Courtyard of the Inbetween, the sentient hub world and dimension for Karl's time-travelling adventures. They all wear the white and gray version of Karl's outfit characteristic of being of the Inbetween. What classifies them as this trope is that these alternate versions of Karl have all succumbed to Loss of Identity from staying in and wandering the Inbetween, and are doomed to traverse the dimension for the rest of time, as their loved ones wait for a man who would never come home. | |

At the end of the first issue of a Birds of Prey series, an Asian woman in white called "White Canary" has shown up. Given her badassitude, two possibilities for who she is spring to Black Canary's mind: Cassandra Cain or Lady Shiva. Oh, Crap!...She turns out to be the sister of the Twelve Brothers in Silk, who Black Canary fought years ago, and in a bit of Fridge Brilliance, wears white in mourning for her brothers, who she killed to uphold their father's honor after their defeat. | |

Blue Eye Samurai. The title character is often described as or compared to an onryou, particularly in "The Tale of the Ronin and the Bride". A flashback shows she was once happily married, but her husband rejected her after discovering she was a better swordfighter. Desperate to show her husband she can be a traditional wife, she dresses in a white kimono, but bounty hunters turn up instead while her husband rides off and leaves her to die. In her rage she slaughters them and her husband, becoming the demon she's regarded as now. | |

Very common in reported Marian apparitions. I.e St. Bernadette Soubirous and the kids at Fátima (Portugal) initially reported seeing "a beautiful young lady all in white"; the people from Knock (Ireland) described Mary as wearing "a white cloak, hanging in full folds and fastened at the neck"; considering there were folk legends about terrible ghost women, it's no wonder their parents got upset, although some people figured Bernadette was seeing a harmless revenant spirit. | |

As it turns out, the cast are actually trapped in a virtual world and her white-clad status indicates that she is hacking in from the outside. That version of Chloe Sullivan appears to herself in "Masquerade", but this time as an illusion of Desaad preying on her sin of Pride. |

In The Path, a girl literally named Girl In White by the game developers leads you back to the path to Grandmother's house if you stay still long enough. Some speculate that she is a spirit who wants to protect the granddaughters from meeting their Wolves, while others suggest she is a long-lost sister to the granddaughters or perhaps the grandmother herself. Curiously, while the Girl in White does indeed wear all white and is young, her skin tone and hair color are fairly dark. | |

Steven Universe's Rose Quartz, in her every appearance thus far, appears in a full-length white dress. She also has far more shading and highlighting than the other characters, and goes barefoot, further playing up the ethereal appearance. Not only is she a character who gave up her physical form to give birth to Steven, she was the extremely powerful leader of a group of magical aliens, as well as a healer. | |

After her death in New X-Men, Jean Grey ended up ascending to the White Hot Room as the White Phoenix of the Crown, doing things like repairing galaxies. During that time, she usually appeared in a white dress or white and gold variation on the Phoenix suit (this was actually the original design for the Phoenix costume until it was realised that the printing standards of the time just meant that text and colour on the other side of the page would be seen through it). | |

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins is a Victorian mystery novel, the plot of which revolves around a mysterious woman in white. This gives her something of an eerie appearance, especially since she tends to turn up at night, and one character is explicitly left with the conviction that he's seen a ghost. | |

Case Closed: Horribly subverted in a filler case, where the woman In white is the actress Akiko Kinoshita... who only wears white clothes either when performing her Star-Making Role as the traditional "Yuki Onna" ghost, or when her lifeless body is found buried in the snow. She was murdered by Yoko Asanuma, her envious Body Double, who also briefly wears white while impersonating Akiko and making everyone believe she was still alive. In several openings and endings of the anime, however, Ran is seen wearing white dresses and playing the trope straight. |

Doctor Who: A mysterious woman wearing all white and credited only as "The Woman" appears in "The End of Time", giving mysterious messages mostly to Wilfred Mott. She is eventually seen among the Time Lords who turn out to be behind the near-disaster the episode is named for, as one of the two who voted against it. After the last meeting with her, Wilfred mentions her, and the Doctor looks significantly toward Donna. However, Word of God said she was originally planned to be the Doctor's mother - and that we should also pay attention to the other Time Lord who voted against the plan. River Song, the mysterious woman hinted to play a hugely important role sometime in the Doctor's personal future, first appears in the two-parter "Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead" dressed in a white spacesuit. She ends the two-part story dressed in a white gown. |

In the Of Dungeons and Dragons arc of the sequel, one of the Undines appears in this form. Considering that Undines like luring people to their deaths by drowning, Harry is careful not to be taken in — though he doesn't miss that the entity in question at least appears to be an attractive young woman in a wet dress that's implied to be Vapor Wear. In chapter 60 of the sequel, Jean and Maddie appear in Harry's mindscape wearing pure white dresses (their psychic forms having previously merged into a pure white gestalt), emphasising both their unearthly nature and purity. Here, they're unambiguously benevolent, doing their best to help Harry heal. |

In Genesis' Rock Opera The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, there's a character called "Lilywhite Lilith" who falls into this trope. It's implied that she's not even human, but rather some kind of cave creature. | |
