Fan Casting Braids of Action

Role added by connieblackwood on November 15, 2022

Description of Braids of Action:

One of the common ways to visually indicate that a female character is an Action Girl or otherwise ready to get dangerous is to braid her hair. This trope is used in fiction for two reasons. First, because tying your hair in a braid is a good way to keep long hair out of your face, as ponytails tend to slide down or get snagged in really physical sports. Second, because it is visually cool. What better way to indicate movement than a long flowing strand of hair flailing around like a whip? Due to this visual aspect, Braids of Action will more often than not be given to girls that have an acrobatic fight style.
