The high tendency in fiction for young nerds, geeks, and other social outcasts to have red hair. They're often gingers, redheads with pale skin and freckles, but not necessarily. They might have intellectual hobbies like reading. Their clothes are probably far from stylish and they are likely to have minor health problems. They are easily picked on for these things, not necessarily for their hair color, unlike the Red-Headed Stepchild. They also have a tendency to be a Shrinking Violet. If they're not then they'll be an uncontrollable Fiery Redhead who gets into big trouble. Despite how different they are, they can grow out of it and by the time they mature they can be expected to blossom into a self-assured person who is calm, strong and elegant. In the mean time they will probably make a loyal friend. The character might think that it's just their hair color making people look down on them like the Red-Headed Stepchild, but if it was a different color they wouldn't be so self conscious and make themselves look bad. Dye jobs tend to backfire though. A sign of maturity is fixing up their hair but keeping it red. The Brainy Brunette can similarly not fit in, but their geeky intelligence gives them a calm confidence that the redhead lacks. If the character has red/brown hair they only count if it's noticeably red and they have that lack of confidence among their peers. On the other hand, mature redheads are wanted by heroes. Being Truth in Television varies between individuals, but No Real Life Examples, Please! |

Double Homework: Dennis’s red hair completes his stereotypically nerdy look. And nobody likes how he turned out, not even his father. Interestingly, Tamara embraces this trope. She has no desire to be “cool� or popular. Even her clothing style is meant to be subversive more than trendy. |

Amusingly enough, the writer/artist of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal is a ginger, and as his comics would imply, a MASSIVE nerd. Also played straight with several of his comics. One strip decided that male redheads fall into this category, while females fall into the opposite camp. The Alt Text of one of the comics had the cartoonist realize that most of his unintelligent, misogynist, or otherwise Jerkass characters are also red-haired and male. |

Harry Potter: Rowling introduces Ron Weasley as "tall, thin and gangling, with freckles, big hands and feet, and a long nose." He quickly becomes Harry's best friend, but feels overshadowed by his older brothers, and feels embarrassed to have to use second hand supplies and wear second hand clothes. Harry choosing to befriend him over the posh, snobbish Malfoy sets the tone for both relationships from that point on. His older brother, Percy, and his father, Arthur, may also qualify for their own reasons. Percy is pompous, bossy, and sucks up to authority to get ahead, but generally treated as an afterthought or a mere annoyance by most except his parents. Arthur, while a very kind and intelligent man, is seen as a loser of sorts for his lower-class financial status, his keen interest in all things Muggle-related, and his refusal to suck up to his superiors and co-workers to advance. Incidentally, Percy also looked down on Arthur for these very things. Averted with most of the rest of the (notably redheaded) Weasley family. Fred and George are very popular at Hogwarts, Ginny seems to come into her own as she gets more comfortable in her skin, Charlie works with dragons, and Bill is - as Harry succinctly put it once - just cool. Molly is also quite well-liked, even if she can be overbearing. |

Total Drama: Harold has a lot of traits that make him look strange in the eyes of the other contestants, such as his nerdiness, know-it-all persona and rather poor hygiene. These traits (especially the first two) are the main reasons he usually isn't respected by the others, especially Duncan, who enjoys picking on him. He does, however, have more than enough moments where his "mad skills" help him lead his team to victory, earning their respect. Sam from Revenge of the Island is an overweight video game geek who farted at his first and only date with a girl before Dakota and his first interactions with her are rather awkward. However, after Dakota becomes an intern, he soon starts to break through her shell. Averted with Scarlett from Pahkitew Island. While she is a genius who tends to say things the others don't understand, she doesn't display any of the negative stereotypes associated with nerds. Also, she is secretly an Evil Genius. Rodney on the other hand, seems to be a straight example. While not exactly a nerd, he's extremely socially awkward towards girls, as a result of living with several brothers and his father being single. He develops a crush on three of the female contestants, but his attempts at trying to talk to them are terrible. |

Beatrice Löwenström of Överenskommelser by Simona Ahrnstedt belongs to the fiery cathegory. She's both an intelligent book lover and a plucky tomboy, not to mention that she's a proto-feminist, which turns a lot of people away from her. She's described as not conventionally beautiful, with too many freckles and a too wide mouth, and she also seems to often wear unflattering clothes. | |

Evernight: Bianca has very obvious red hair and is considered a geeky, socially awkward bookworm. It's implied that she could be 'cool' if she really tried, but she figures out early on she'd prefer to stay a loser than change herself to fit in with the 'Evernight types' (probably not a bad thing seeing how most of them are snobs and assholes who bully outcast students). It also doesn't stop the heroes from wanting her. Averted by Adrian, Bianca's dad, a biology teacher who is seen as a Cool Teacher (although he's said to have very dark red hair that looks almost black, while Bianca's hair is a much brighter shade). |

Will Vandom from W.I.T.C.H. and the animated series is the The Leader of the titular group and the relatable everygirl that worries about her figure and whether her boyfriend would prefer older, more mature girls while also having trouble with her math classes, not helped by the fact that her teammates are a gorgeous blonde Lovable Alpha Bitch, a free-spirited Otaku that is talented in designing and making clothes, a Teen Genius that's also a skilled dancer and an "early bloomer" that had several more boyfriends than the other girls during the comic's run, making it harder for Will to stand out in comparison. It's actually downplayed that despite Will's confidence issues and sometimes poor self-image she's an excellent compeitive swimmer, dating one of the coolest guys at her school and as mentioned is the leader of a team of Magical Girl Warriors that have saved the multiverse multiple times and are closer than sisters to her, so it's more that Will feels like an unpopular redhead than actually being one. | |

Rugrats: Chuckie Finster is danger-prone, cowardly, wears glasses that would break from time to time, has a perpetually stuffy nose, and is often picked on by other kids. So much so that there have been entire episodes devoted to him having an operation that temporarily cleared his nose, him trying to dye his hair black to fit in with the rest of the kids, and his other quirks. | |

In The Cinderella Murder, Nicole is naturally a strawberry blonde and was a shy, dorky girl with little self-confidence as a teen; she tended to be so focused on her studies she didn't have much room to figure out who she was beyond that. Her more glamorous and outgoing roommate Madison tended to look down on her, though her other roommate Susan was protective of her and even tried to set her up with a classmate. As an adult, Nicole is more confident and comfortable in her own skin, and dyes her hair dark brown. | |

Generally averted quite in many of R.L. Stine's Fear Street books, wherein his fondness for redheads seems to shine through. Many protagonists or very beautiful, usually popular or mysterious girls, are described as redheads. (Usually, green-eyed redheads.) Although that doesn't stop them from dying horribly (Marla Newman), suffering severe brain damage that renders them mentally retarded (Rachel from Broken Hearts), or just being a nasty, horrible person in general (Karma Houdini Reva Dalby from the Silent Night series). This is usually played straight in Goosebumps, with the most notable example being Evan Ross in Monster Blood 1, Monster Blood II Monster Blood III and Monster Blood IV. |

Spider-Boy: While most people don't know he's a redhead under the mask, once the photo of Spider-Boy with his fangs bared during the fight with Electro is published in the Bugle, civilians start reacting with fear toward him. Joked about by Christina when Bailey is venting to her about people thinking he's "some weird bloodsucking vampire kid." | |

Anne of Green Gables: Anne definitely believes this. Her relationships with Rachel Lynde and Gilbert Blythe are openly hostile at first because they teased her about her red hair, which she hopes will some day darken into "a real handsome auburn" (which it eventually does). Still, though at times she can get very careless and cause mishaps, Anne is popular with her peers and rarely considered "uncool" by other people. | |

Ophelia is a redhead and is regarded as a misfit amongst the ladies-in-waiting, teased for dancing clumsily, reading for fun, wearing flowers, and being unable to afford the finer clothes and jewellery. She tends to be rather reserved at first, before becoming more outspoken. | |

South Park: The "Ginger Kids" episode features Cartman turning his bigotry on redheads, claiming that they're soulless and unattractive to the point of being frightening. Subverted halfway through when the other boys make Cartman look like a ginger to teach him a lesson: Cartman immediately starts a ginger supremacy group and tries to kill all of the non-ginger kids. Several seasons later, this becomes a double subversion: 201 sheds some light on Cartman's true father, and Scott Tenorman, whose parents had been previously murdered by Cartman reveals that they are half-brothers on their father's side, meaning Cartman himself is in his own eyes half-ginger. Cartman is also one of the most unpopular kids at South Park Elementary, not at all helped by the fact he's a sociopath. | |

Willow becomes much more confident in college, finally finding a place that respects her intellect, and to show that, she has embraced the redness of her hair by having dyed it a brighter red. | |
