Western female Blonde anime archtype.

(1/3) > >>

Osmo:
So after reading a few manga and anime, I've realized a common character archetype popping up and it goes something like this;

Female Blonde, western, american, horny, ecchi, super outgoing, provides guidance and wisdom to main characters on topics such as sex/relationships, never really has a relationship herself, always grabbing peoples breasts or private parts, basicaly there are always playing the role as a catalyst which forwards the main plot/ character development.

Now when I see this archtype again and again it makes me giggle at the perceptions these asian writers have about western women, like on the surface the women are outgoing sexual but deep down they are alot more mature and wiser. Also the parralells to asian women who are frigid or demure or something.

AceHigh:
You can pin an archetype in anime to any hair colour, including unnatural ones like pink and purple...

jaybug:
I thought Tina Foster from Ai Yori Aoshi was the prototypical western blond. Add what we think of as blond jokes of her character, to what you posted Osmo.

The blonde from Infinite Stratos is a great example. Soft voice, polite, regal aura and arrogance in the beginning. and from the UK.
