Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) My cousins used to have trolls like that when we were little! I was soooo envious of them ... they are adorable!!


message 2: by Bettie (new)

Bettie Lovely they are and I spotted that they are still for sale, in Oslo at least.


===:O)
(troll emo!)


Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) I want one -- I'm going to have to see whether you can still get them here as well! ;)


message 4: by Mir (new)

Mir Almost all Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover novels feature red-heads (because red-heads are psychic!) and there are about a hundred so I only listed a few.

Yea, but I see they move with the times. He/She/It's got a belly button ring! What no tattoo?

I can't think of any characters with red hair! I don't remember Jane Eyre having red hair either.

Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) Re: Jane Eyre: I don't think it's exactly auburn, but if memory serves, shortly before their ill-fated wedding ceremony Mr. Rochester compliments her on her shining eyes and hair (and somehow I've always imagined her hair to be reddish-brown because of that scene ... will have to look up again how precisely the scene reads. Sometimes our memory does funny things to the things it picks up!) Besides, wasn't the girl whose "rebellious" curls caused all the brouhaha with Mr. Brocklehurst (in the book it's not Helen Burns like in many movie adaptations but another student) a redhead also?


message 7: by Mir (last edited Jun 17, 2010 10:11AM) (new)

Mir Emily Dickenson had red hair, anyone have a favorite bio? Not that recent exploitative one, please!


ღ Carol jinx~☆~☔ʚϊɞ I am a fan of redheads. My Mother had auburn hair.
My husband's hair was orange and my daughter's hair is orange. My Grandson's hair is orange and when someone tells him he's a cute redhead he says his hair is actually orange.


message 9: by Bettie (new)

Bettie I don't remember Jane Eyre having red hair either

We aren't talking eponymous - just major memorable characters from a story. For example - it is the 'orrible nurse in Over The Cuckoo Nest that has the red hair.

hah - Carol! you all deserve top spots here


message 12: by Shannon (new)

Shannon Huh! I always thought Jane had brown hair! I could have just assumed because she always has brown hair in the adaptations; guess I never payed too much attention to that detail...

Jane had mousey hair - but didn't the little (Helen) girl who died have red hair? I remember quite a thing about the red curly hair which had to be cut off.


message 14: by Shannon (new)

Shannon Yes, I think you're right Bettie - Helen had red hair! Is that enough to get Jane Eyre on this list? ("Mousey" is always used to describe boring brownish hair, as far as I understand it!)


message 15: by Amalie (new)

Amalie Cool List!!!

Yael in Alice Hoffman's The Dovekeepers


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads You add books to the list at the top of the list, at the tab next to "all votes."


message 17: by slauderdale (new)

slauderdale There's a lot of manga redhead MCs, but I feel like I can only add those I've read or marked to-read. Psychological hangup. Has anyone already added Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach, or Magic Knight Rayearth?
